Tex Carleton Is Named to F ace Melton

‘Terrymen Remain Confident

Despite Setback; Hartnett Batting Hero.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22 (U. P.) .—The Chicago Cubs, finally clicking again after a tumble that almost slumped them out of the tional League pennant race, planned to throw rangy Tex Carleton at the New York Giants today in the second game of their vital series with the league

leaders.

Now only one and one-half games in the lead, Manager Bill Terry ‘of the Giants indicated he will attempt to hold the Cubs at bay with Cliff Melton, who has scored 17 victories this season. Fair weather and another crowd of 30-odd thousand were predicted. It was Gabby Hartnett’s booming bat that slashed a full game off New York’s lead yesterday. The roly-poly catching veteran dusted off three runs in the first inning

|| with a triple deep in center field

and finally clinched it in the eighth with a double scoring Bill Herman. The Cubs won, 7 to 5. The game standings to date: Won Lost Behind To Play New York .... 83 54 Sas 15 57 1% 12 Even the most loyal fans huddling in the stands or gathered around loud speakers in towns from Michigan tc Nebraska admitted the Cubs had only a long chance of stopping the pressuring Giants. Giants Still Confident The Giants have hit a terrific pace. They know as well as the Cubs how much hangs on this series, and after the rough-shod manner in which they rallied against the St. Louis Cardinals they still are confident despite loss of that opener. . If they continue their present pace—.612—they will win 9 out of the 15 games they have left to play. If they do that, the Cubs will have to win 10 of the 12 games left—an even .835. The Cubs could burn up the league with a dozen sfraight victories starting today, and still not be a mathematical cinch. The Cubs got off to a four-run lead in the first inning of yesterday’s game, on Hartnett’s triple after Stan Hack was safe on an error, Billy Herman had singled, and Frank Demaree bunted safely. Hartnett then scored on Phil Cavarretta’s single to right field. He scored again when Collins sent him home with a triple. New York Scores in Second New York picked up a run in the second when Jimmy Ripple tripled Johnny McCarthy home after the young first baseman had singled to to start the inning. They scored another in the sixth on McCarthy's double and a single by Harry Danning, and tied the score with three runs on hits by Bartell, Ott, Berger and Danning. In the eighth, Hack doubled and scored on Herman’s ‘triple. Hartnett then brought Herman around with a double, ending the scoring for . the day with aging Charley Root, who pitched only one and onethird innings, credited with the victory. The New York Yankees can

header® from the St. Louis Browns, providing Detroit loses to the Boston Red Sox. The Yanks have a 1115-game lead. Tigers Split Pair Detroit divided a doubleheader with Boston yesterday, losing the first, 12-7, and winning the second 4-1. The Red Sox scored 10 runs after two were out in the fifth inning of the first game, with Ben Chapman hitting a homer with the bases loaded. Hank Greenberg hit homers No. 37 and 38 in the first game, and Rudy York connected for No. 32 in the nightcap. George Gill allowed eight hits in winning the second game. Hal Trosky’s fluke homer with the bases loaded gave Cleveland a 6-3 victory over Washington and enabled the Indians to move into fourth place. Mel Almada attempted to make a shoestring catch of Trosky’s liner and it went through his legs “for a homer, four runs scoring. Johnny Allen outpitched Wes Ferrell to hang up his thirteenth straight victory.

Franklin Sure To Be Better, Mentor Says

Veteran Line Should Carry Grizzlies Far This Year, ‘Tillotson Believes.

(Ninth of a Series)

By PHILLIPS J. PECK United Press Sgaff Correspondent FRANKLIN, {nd., Sept. 22.— Franklin College! may -not set the Indiana Confefhce afire with its football team this fall but take it from Coach Roy E. Tillotson, the Grizzlies will be decidedly stronger —although just how much stronger not even Tillotson can say. Tillotson does know, however, that he’ll have a stronger defensive eleven with a line composed entirely cof veterans that should be a match for any of the opposition Franklin will meet this fall. Given two more veteran backs to aid Homer McCracken and Hugh Spencer, both lettermen, in the backfield and Tillotson would guar= antee a team that could cause plen= ty of trouble in state grid circles. Another bright factor in connece tion with Franklin's football pros pects this season is a favorable bal ance in the matter of reserve strength. 36 Men on Squad Thirty-six men make up the Grizzly football squad and from this number Tillotson should be able to find replacements enough to carry Franklin through its eight-game schedule. Last year’s team was riddled by injuries and fell apart when there were no reserves to patch up the gaps. Tillotson’s chief problem is in the backfield. Spencer, a finer passer, and McCracken, who may be on the receiving end of many of his tosses, the counted upon for the halfback positions. The rest of the backfield probably will be filled with freshmen. Bob Fell and Harry Bertram appear to be the best prospects at quarterback and Robert Decker looks like the fullback choice. As replacements for this foursome, there are Harold Purdy, Don Parker and Rupert Ferrell, halfbacks; Gene Rradley, a quarterback, and Rue Starr, 170-pound fullback candidate, Ferrell is a junior; the rest are firstyear men. Capt. Mahin Laid Up Franklin’s forward wall will be | a tough proposition from end to end. Wendell Clark, a senior, and Victor Walton, sophomore, are the first choice at the wing posts. Lloyd Baker and Ward Yoder are the seconde string ends. The first pair of tackles will be lettermen, Norman Vandiver and Steve Igrison, The latter, a junior, stands six feet one inch and weighs 230, while Vandiver tips the scales at 175 and stands five feet ten. Reserve tackles include Paul Grannan, Don Reickert, Frank Zener and Dea Hunter. All are freshmen but each stands over six feet in height and are husky enough to move in at tackle without ma(Continued on Page 18)
