Butler Drops Close One to Xavier
BUTLER PUT UP a courageous fight against Xavier of Cin ‘elnnat oyt at the Fairview bowl Saturday. ... Clem Crowe's Musteers won, 21 to 14, and all points were made in the first half. . . It was an exciting contest for the spectators. ° It was a tie, 7 and 7, first quarter, and in the second period Xavier registered two touchdowns to one for Butler. . . . Rain slowed e action in the second half when the players lost. their footing on
‘the wet turf,
Xavier was’ satisfied to finish with a one-touchdown lead. « « « The Musketeers had plenty of seasoned talent in their lineup and were doped to win by a greater margin. . . . They play the University ‘of Kentucky in Cincinnati this week.
BALL STATE scored in every period against the Franklin Grisglies at Muncie and the final score was 38 to 0. . . . It was the opener for both teams but it was the last game for Wayne Simpson, Ball

TWENTY-THREE Natiohal league races weren't over until the last week of the season. ... And No. 24 is at hand. , . .

will play two contests each with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Chicago at home and only have to win four to be assured of a tie. That deadlock would result only if Brooklyn were to win all of its remaining games, Swap Shutouts The Cards maintained their margin over the Dodgers yesterday by swapping shutouts with the Cubs. St. Louis came through with a brilliant, 1-0 triumph in the opener when Johnny Hopp raced home in the fourth on a double steal. Hopp walked and streaked to third on George Kurowski’s single. Then Kurowski broke for second with Mort Cooper at bat and Sal Hernandez made a perfect throw to the bag, @ob Sturgeon relaying the ball to trap Hopp between third and home. But when Sturgeon tossed to Stan Hack, Hopp headed for the plate and was safe by a shade as he scored standing up. brilliant: baserunning saved the game, for had he § slid in, Johnny probably would have been out because Hernandez was down low for the throw. Mort Cooper struck out nine men and allowed only four hits for his 21st victoryas Lon Warneke held former Cardinal mates to seven blows. Claude Passeau outpitched four St. Louis moundsmen and allowed only five hits to gain his 19th win as the Cubs won the nightcap, 3-0. The Cubs garnered seven safeties, winning the game with a three-run blast in the third. Homers Beat Wyatt

Race So Close AnotheriMatch May Be Held af Belmont Park
‘Mary’sNEW YORK, Sept. 21 (U. P.).—A proposal that Alsab and Whirlaway—principals in one of turfdom’s greatest match races—be reenacted sometime during Belmont Park’s fall meeting met with hearty approval from almost all parties concerned today. %-year-old Alsab held off Whirlaway, the 4-year-old handicap king and all-time money winner, scoring by a nose in their historic
meeting over a mile and three-six-teenths at Narragansett Park Saturday. The race was so close that a re-match has now become a n cessity -to determine the better horse. Belmont opens an 18-day meeting today and some time before it ends Alsab and Whirlaway may meet again in a program designed to net some $50,000 for army emergency relief. : Whirlaway’s trainer, Ben Jones, said he had no excuse for Whirly’s defeat Saturday. He would like another chance, however. Jockey Georgie Woolf, who rode Whirlaway, said: “I'm still not satisfied that Alsab is better than Whirlaway. I'd sure like another shot at him over a mile and a quarter. I think we caught him just about one jump past the wire.”. Alsah’s trainer, Sarge Schwenke, said he always believed his horse could lick Whirlaway, “Perhaps a re-match can be arranged,” he said. “But that’s up to Mrs. Albert Sabath.”
