Blocks Ty Tying

Run at Plate In Hectic 9th

Giants Have ve Close Call With Cardinals, but Win Qut in 10th Inning.

| NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (U. P.).—

The Chicago Cubs remained in the

National League pennant race today, chiefly through the efforts] of Catcher Charles (Gabby) Hartnett. The sparkplug of the Cubs cracked out a home run, his 12th of the season, to nose out the Brook- * lyn Dodgers 2-1] yesterday. It kept the Cubs two and one-half games behind the * | Giants, who were forced into extra innings to beat St. Louis. Gabby’s four-bagger followed De- _ maree’s single, one of the four hits given up by Max Butcher. The Dodgers gave the Cubs a -scare in the ninth when they scored once and had the tying run on third base, but it was Gabby who cut off that potential | marker. George Cisar, - running | for Babe Phelps, tcok a long lead off third and, as Curt Davis began his windup to pitch to Gil Brack, he broke for home. Hartnett stuck out his big mitt, caught the ball, and, on a close play, got Cisar at the plate.

Giants Win Close One

The Giants also had a narrow squeak. Wally Berger's ninth inning home run with a mate aboard tied the score 3-3, and Jo-Jo Moare cracked a double and came home on Ripple’s single with the winning, run in the tenth. Mize doubled for ‘the Cards with two out in the tenth, and took third on a wild pitch. Joe Medwick, who had had a perfect day, | getting “four-for-four,” was at bat, but after sending one foul back over the stands, he lifted another that Ike Danning caught, ending: the game.

Bucs and Phils Split

Boston and Cincinnati split, ending their season standing with 11 victories each. In the American League the Yankees were bumped 8-1 by the Detroit Tigers.

Chicago and Washington split, *with the White Sox coming back to take the nightcap 9-1 behind Kennedy’s five-hit pitching, -after being licked 5-4 by a 15-hit Senator’ attack in the opener. The Philadelphia. Athletics ' licked Cleveland - twice, 8-4 and 5-3, the Indians falling back into fifth place. The Bos-ton-St. Louis double-header was rained out.

Bowling Is More Popular Than Ever, Deupree Says

“Bowling is sweeping to new heights of popularity in Indianapolis this season as well as throughout the nation,” according to Herman G. Deupree, City Bowling Association president. Herman, rarely at a loss for words, is having difficulty finding adjectives to do justice te his enthusiasm these days. “With the present season barely under way there are already 105

leagues organized, consisting - of more than 1000 five-man teams, and several more loops are in process of formation which will establish a new all-time record for bowling in the city,” Mr. Deupree explained. He further pointed out that these figures do not include the women who have their own organization. The feminine bowlers now have 92 teams in nine leagues. Organized bowling in Indianapolis reached a new top last season with 984 five-man teams performing in regular ‘weekly competition in 105 leagues. With this number of circuits already listed, a new mark is certain because Norman B, Hamilton, secretary of the association, reports that at least 10 more loops will be formed within the next 30 days, Mr. Deupree added. Local officials give credit for the rapid expansion of organized league bowling to the influence of the American Bowling Congress. “The A. B. C. has been protecting the rights and interests of the pin knights for more than 40 years,” Mr. Deupree said. “The A. B. C. is responsible for uniform alley conditions and facilities throughout the land and has prevented ‘chiselers’ from victimizing the pinmen.” Free bonding of league treasurers is offered by the A. B. C. to all sanctioned loops to protect prize funds. In Indianapolis alone, league prize funds exceed $560,000, Secretary Hamilton revealed. The City Bowling Association and the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of Indianapolis co-operated last season in conducting local tournaments without a single complaint from participants regarding handicaps or prize distribution, - All local plants have been reconditioned. Among the innovations is the public address system installed by Pritchett’s Alleys reaching both floors of the establishment,

Cardinals Rest After fter Victory

Coach A. E. Pitcher was planning a light dll for his Southport Cardinals today, giving them a rest after their 12-6 conquest of the Cathedral Irish in Saturday night’s football game at Roosevelt Stadium.

‘straight victory over the Irish. Five

minutes after the opening kickoff Capt. Hendershott sliced off tackle from the 4-yard line for the first score. An end run for the exfra point failed.

Buck Wasson fumbled -as he hit the line but Guard Joe Long fell on the ball across the goal line.
