Now Dodgers | Have to Prove

And Jittery Defense Isn’t Helping Things

BASKETBALL in the Army .. . a subject no Hoosier of draft age can afford to miss. . . . Chanute Field, Rantoul, Ill, has already got a line on its first team for the new season on the hardwood. . . . And it’s a team well loaded with experienced talent. In a press release from the Chanute Field public relations office, Private Bert Bertine says there likely will be a turnout of close to 100 men when the call is issued for team tryouts in late October. . . . But the draft has already sent to the Rantoul military post a ‘squad of well-known basket sharpshooters. First is Bill Hapac, the former University of Illinois star who played with the Chicago professional Bruins last winter. .. . He was drafted two months ago and is a dead cinch to hold down a forward berth on the quintet. ' Other ex-college stars already at Chanute are Chuck Orsborn, “forward, from Bradley Tech; Dar Hutchins, center, also from Bradley Tech, and George Ruehle, Detroit, and Ted Strodzki of Chicago, both guards. . . . Ruehl played at the University of Michigan and Skrodzki with DePaul University of Chicago. ” 8 2 os ” EJ And if these five players weren't enough, there is always the possibility other college and professional stars will land at Chanute Pield via the draft before the basketball season. . . . Efforts are under way to schedule professional and college quintets for games at Rantoul. . . . At any rate an interesting season of cage entertainment is promised the many khaki-clads at that service post. All of these basketball stars, in addition to other outstanding | figures in other sports, are being trained at Chanute to handie the physical education phase in the Army. . . . Many will eventually be sent to other Air Corps technical training schools, but the five cage luminaries mentioned above are slated to remain at Rantoul.
Delving Into Wildcats’ Grid History ' ‘KANSAS STATE AND INDIANA are the only ones on Northwestern University’s 1941 football schedule over which the Evanston school holds an edge inmvictories. . . . The Purple won the only previous game ever played with Kansas and holds a 13-to-8 edge over the Hoosiers in the all-time series. " The widest margin of victories over Northwestern is held by Notre Dame, ‘which has won 15 games against three victories for
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, ‘Sept. 2—The St. Louis Cardinals were in the driver's seat today in the National League
pennant race and it was squarely up to the Brooklyn Dodgers to prove that they have 'the stuff to fight back and dislodge them. While the Dodgers battled nearly six hours in the heliday program to win a single game, the Cardinals whacked the Pirates twice and increased their league lead to a half game. Two big items stood out in the twin bills yesterday: (1) Howard Pollet, the lean, lithe lefthander from Houston, seems to be the key man in the Cards’ pennant drive. If he keeps winning, St. Louis isn’t likely. to be beaten come what may. (2) The Brooklyn defense is getting jittery under pressure and {promises to put an added burden on the Dodger pitchers and hitters.
Camilli Wins It
Fielding lapses. cost the Dodgers dearly yesterday and they were fortunate to walk off with one victory “land one tie with the Braves. The Dodgers finally won the first game, 6-5, after 15 innings. Brooklyn's fielding mistakes sent the Braves to a 4-0 lead. Dolf Camilli’s 29th homer (a new major league record for him) finally tied the score in the eighth, 4-4. Boston went ahead in the 10th but again Camilli drove in the tying run. With the bases filled in the 15th he hit safely for the fifth time to win the game.
Maybe Mrs. Albert Sabath, wife of a Chicago attorney, knew more about horses than Kentucky horsemen when she took Alsab in the Lexington sales in 1940 for $700. Already the bay colt has won $68,700 for his owner and is on the way to the 1941 2.year-old championship.

An error by Peewee Reese on a double play toss paved the way for two Boston runs in the fifth inning of the nightcap but Brooklyn scored in the last of the sixth to get a 2-2 draw. The game was called because of darkness and will}: be played off today. Pete Reiser’s triple and Lavagetto’s squeeze play bunt produced the Dodgers’ tying tally.
Brown’s Bat Again
The Cardinals spotted the Pirates runs twice but came on to win both games, 5-3 and 6-3 (eight innings, darkness). Ernie White gave up three runs in the first inning but was invincible thereafter and won his 17th victory. Jimmy Brown's homer in the sixth was the winning punch. Pollet won his third game in four starts in the nightcap. After giving up two runs in the first frame, the 20-year-old southpaw held the Pirates to two hits in the last seven innings. He fanned six and drove in two runs himself. Johnny Hopp’s homer was the winning tally in the nightcap. The Reds and Cubs broke even, Paul Derringer pitching Cincinnati to a 2-1 triumph in the opener while Chicago rallied to win the nightcap,
The Giants won a pair from the Phillies, 7-2 and 4-3 (10 innings). Mel ott hit a homer in each game while Babe Young’s 2ist: circuit clout was the winning punch in the nightcap. Yanks Practically In

Cleveland was virtually elimino/ated from the race by losing a dou-ble-header to the White Sox, 7-5 and 4-3 (12 innings). “Thornton .Lee won his 18th vieo/tory for the White Sox in the opener despite the Tribe’s 13 hits. John Rigney pulled through to his 11th win in the nightcap. 1Ted Williams took the home run lead by blasting: three as the Red Sox trimmed the Senators twice. He lifted his season’s total to 34. Detroit had a field day at bat, lashing out 35 hits in beating the Browns twice, 9-5 and 16-8. Rudy York was the hero of the ‘opener, hitting three homers and driving in five runs.

He lines his team up in which he calls a “T,” but what I call a lopsided “T” because the quarterback is behind a guard instead of the center.

In fact, the turf was so gooey that the Horsemen Futurity—a virtual re-run of the Hambletonian—was postponed until this afternoon. And unless the horses can get firmer footing on the curves and in the

On tomorrow’s docket is the rich Frank P. Fox Racing Stake. This contest carries a purse of approximately $16,000 and has drawn a crack field of fast steppers.

Lilydale, an Indianapolis entry, showed speed through the mud to take the Indiana Trotting and Pacing Horse Association’s 2-year-old pace in straight heats.
