PIRATES ARE DICTATORS NOW PLAY 15 TILTS WITH 3 LEADERS
By TOM OCHILTREE
If the four races for this afternoon are as good as those that have gone before, the entire Grand Circuit program at the State Fair Grounds will finish up about three notes above high C.
And let it be added that there
FREE from pressure, the Pittsburgh Pirates apparently have assumed the role of pennant dictator in the National League. . .. On Monday they just about erased the Chicago Cubs from the picture by taking a doubleheader from them and in three extra-inning games with the leading Reds this week the Bucs have snared two. Reds and Pirates meet nine more times before the
curtain drops, including the last three tilts of the campaign. «+. And from the looks of the situation, the pennant may hinge on that trio of skirmishes. The Cards have four more battles with the Pirates and the Cubs Just two. ... With a total of 13 games yet to be disposed of with the three top teams, Pie Traynor’s boys are happy to be in a position to act as pennant spoilers. The players who draw their salaries from the Smoky City still remember last September when they were kicked around and out. of the flag after having a firm hold. . . . The Cubs and Reds played the role of pennant wreckers at that time... . The Bucs were knocked out of first place in Chicago and then the Reds made the road for the Cubs easier by taking three out of four from Pie Traynor's boys.
Indians Hope to Buy Scott
L> MILLER, Indianapolis club president, has been turned down on a couple of cash offers made for Outfielder Legrant Scott. . . . The player is with the Indians on option from the Phillies and he certainly would look good on the regular Tribe roster next year. Scott is a lefthanded power hitter and in three games at Columbus, after replacing Milton Galatzer in right field, collected two home runs, triple, double and two singles. . . . and batted in seven runs.
” = n = ” =
LL = last season Indianapolis purchased Scott from the Southern Association only to lose him in the big league draft. . . . Doc Prothro, new Philly manager, came up from the Dixie loop and was aware of the outhelder’s slugging ability. . . . and promptly snatched him away from the Hoosiers. : The Phillies have recalled Scott for 1940 but President Miller still hopes to land the player by purchase.
Ziminsky and Archinski on Roster
ON'T look now, but Outfielder Joe Ziminsky and Pitcher Tony : Archinski will be given tryouts by the Indianapolis Indians next spring. . . . They are coming up from the Erie Sailors of the MidAtlantic League. : Also sought by the Indians is Al Moran, six-foot-four-inch rookie righthanded pitcher now with the Boston Bees. . . . The Hoosiers tried to buy him off the Hartford Eastern League club recently before the Bees threw out their landing net. Last winter the Yankees proposed a trade of Charlie Keller for Jeff Heath. . . . Cleveland laughingly turned thumbs down. . . . But that was last winter. . . . Just another break for the world champs when the Vittmen declined the deal.

Baseball at a Glance
is every evidence that today’s card will be exceptionally fine. Three of the races have attracted evenlymatched nine-horse fields, and in the fourth event, the $1000 trot for the 2:16 class, there are seven entered. Anyone who could criticize the fine performances in every heat yesterday would yawn at his first view of the Grand Canyon, class Rembrandt as a mediocre painter and refuse to cheer when a batter for the home team drove one over
the wall to clear the bases. But then, no one would talk to a guy like that anyhow. ' The 2:10 pace, the fourth and last on yesterday's card and the one to receive the least advanced ballyhoo, was the most exciting of the lot. It took four heats before Single Stine, a mare with plenty of reach, finally was singled out as the winner. The finest built horse of the eight entered, Single Stine, by Singlie G. India Philistine is owned by Baird & Camp, Greenville, Pa, and was driven by the old match chewer himself, Dr. HA M. Parshall. In the first heat, the eight horses entered ran the first quarter in the exceptional time of :29'4 and the half in 1:00:;, It was any-
body's race around the turn and into the stretch as the entire fleld began to drive. Across the finish line they flashed with. five horses coming on with everything they had. Single Stine was the winner of this one in 2:00%, a new record for her. Green Valley was second, Dell Frisco, third; Miss Budlong, fourth, and Hi Pat, fifth. Pacing wildly on the outside to break out in front 50 yards from the finish, Hi Pat fooled ’em all to take the second heat, the fastest one of the day, in 2:00. This was a new record for this entry of Willis Rowe, Bloomington, Ill. This time Dell Frisco was second, Single Stine, third; Miss Budlong,
fourth and Green Valley, owned
by Pearle S. Hungerford, Shelbyville, Ind., fifth.
In winning the third heat in 2:01'%4 Green Valley also posted a new personal record, which gives you an idea of how hard these horses were trying. The finish was in this order in this heat: Miss Budlong, second; Hi Pat, third; Gilt Hanover, fourth, and Volo Hedgewood, fifth.
The sun had already gone down
when the three heat winners, Single Stine, Green Valley and Hi Pat were called out to settle the issue, They shuffled the lead among themselves a bit, and for a while it looked like Green Valley might make it, but Single Stine came home in front to win the race, while Green Valley, who was (Continued on Page 28)

The score, however, does not begin to tell the story of the pros’ superiority. The Giants struck when the iron was hot and let the AllStars run all over the field—until they got within scoring distance. The Giants, with the best aerial game in football, might have doubled or trebled their points if they had been pressed. They tried only 14 passes and completed eight of them for 59 yards. Ed Danowski, leading professional tosser, threw 12 of them and seven were caught. The All-Stars came in for plenty of criticism for not trying the airways more often with Sid Luckman back there throwing them, but they attempted only 13. Six were completed for 79 yards—20 more than the pros gained via air. Four All-Star passes were intercepted, however, while none of the Giants’ were taken by the opposition. Tuffy Leemans led the drive to the Giants’ touchdown in the second period. From the All-Stars’ 42-yard line, he sliced off left tackle, cut back and raced into the open. There wasn’t a man between him and the goal posts when he suddenly became tangled up in his own feet and stumbled on the 14, where he was downed. Two plunges over the line by Leeman netted five, then Tuffy bulleted a flat pass right across the middle to Chuck Geltaka for the score. Ken Strong place-kicked the goal. Strong Boots One Over

he was called from the sidelines for another attempt in the third. Dropping back to the All-Stars’ 28, he booted it through the middle to end the scoring. The All-Stars’ most serious threat came late in the second period when Luckman’s passing and Bob MacLeod’s running carried the ball 95 yards to the Giants’ five. A fiveyard offsides penalty forced Luckman to try a pass into the end zone and Feets Barnum intercepted it. If there was any ‘starring’ done by the All-Stars, Luckman and MacLeod, the Dartmouth flash who |gained 42 years in seven attempts, were the only ones worth mentioning.

New York Giants Strike When Iron Is Hot to Hand Eastern All-Stars 10-0 Whacking.
NEW YORK, Sept. 8 (U. P.).—Forget all about that old question, “Can a good college football team beat a topnotch professional eleven”? It never should have been asked in the first place. The New York Giants, professional champions of the National League, answered the query once and for all when they handed Pitt's crack 1938 varsity, aided by the pick of the football crop from other Eastern schools, a 10-0 whacking at the Polo Grounds last night.
K.C. Has One Hand on Flag
Single Victory Tonight Will Give Blues Pennant.
By UNITED PRESS The Kansas City Blues had the staff and a one-handed grasp on the Association pennant today with only one more victory necessary to gain full possession. They beat their only rival for the honors last night when they blasted out a 12-to-4 win over the Minneapolis Millers. It left the Millers . ith only a slender hope of tying for the flag and this can be dissipated by the Blues should they win one of their two games tonight from St. Paul. In other Association games yesterday, Columbus nosed out Louisville, 3-2, and Milwaukee won, 9-8, from St. Paul. Kansas City gained its 5%-game margin as of today in the identical manner in which they have been demonstrating their major league caliber throughout the last weeks of the season—on brilliant pitching and heavy cannonading at the plate. Tommy Reis, one of the Blues’ ace right-handers, held the Millers to
12 on a pair of Minneapolis hurlers. The victory gave Reis 16 victories against four defeats, the best record in the Association. Vince DiMaggio’'s 44th homer and a double in two official trips to the plate led the Blues’ roster but every man in the lineup contributed one or more hits.
