TOLEDO, Sept. 9.~By dunking the Indianapolis Tribesters, 6 to 1, last night, the second-place Toledo Mud Hens swept the three-game series and the Indians moved on to-Columbus to wind up the season in a single tilt with the Red Birds tonight and a double-header tomorrow afternoon. The sixth-place Hoosier Redskins were held to six hits again last night, this time by Al LéMacchia. The Indians only got 15 hits in the three games out at Swayne field, three on Tuesday, six on Wednesday and six in the finale. Carl Lindquist hurled for the Tribe last night and although the Mud Hers scored in only one inning, they made it a whopper frame. During their six-run rally in the fifth, Bob Boken walloped a home run with the bases loaded.

Both teams were established as pre-tourney favorites, and the Mallory’s, since their victory over Kingan’s, is now the No. 1 choice of the fans, However, they will be facing an aggregation of veterans when they stack up against the Medals, twice city champions. The Beermen have plenty of backers willing to predict their favorites will win the title again, and one of their best arguments is the pitching arm of Johnny Twigg. The veteran hurler has been going great and is best when the going is tough. Ben Richman will also be ready for duty in the box. The Mallory’s are also well fortifled with pitching.

He tamed the Armour’s sluggers, allowing but five hits and threw a sevenhitter at the De Wolfs last Sunday. If he continues his pace, Manager Lowell Hildebrand figures his team will be a real contender for the title.

The Mitchels gained recognition as a dangerous foe when they sidetracked last year's champion Allison nine in their series opener. Gene Moore, their ace pitcher held the champs to five safeties to win, 11-3. Drawing a bye in the second round, they were idle last Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9 (U.P). —Coach Earle (Greasy) Neale of the Philadelphia Eagles National Football league team anticipated today that his voluntary abandonment .of his salary contract in 1942 might result in actual financial gain to him in view of the predicted good financial year for his 1944 team. In 1942, Neale scrapped a $12,000 contract to work on a $3000 guarantee, plus a percentage of the club profits, at a time when the Eagles’ talent did not presage

too successful a financial season. The $9000 reduction and the percentage clause was. continued last year, General Manager Hairy Thayer revealed to the Philadelphia Business club yesterday that Neale will continue on the guarantee, plus percentage, thus taking another technical $9000 “cut.” Actually, however, the Eagles’ schedule and the prospects of the team indicate that Neale probably will finish ahead of the original salary contract.

McDaniels defeated the highlytouted Rhode Island “ripper” with ‘comparative ease before 7648 fans, although California Jimmy took the lone trip to the canvas during the comparatively dull bout. Zannelli, Italian veteran with Kangaroo springs in his legs, clipped McDaniels with a left hook to the chin that floored him for a two-count in the eighth round.
