But Coach Pike isn't solely on the efforts of the captain combination. A firm believer in the theory that every man is just as vital as the next player on an eleven, the Hawks’ mentor is developing his squad along the Tformation and single wing style of play. “ At Plainfield wnere ne coached a year prior to his coming to Decatur Central, Coach ‘Pike's team captured the Mid-8tate football champion ship; sectional basketball honors, and the Mid-State baseball diadem. Decatur Central played host to Franklin Township last night and lost, 13-0. The ‘remainder of the Hawks schedule follows: Sept. 28 at Plainfield; Oct. 5, Pike Township; Oct. 12, Greenwood; Oct. 15, Warren Central, Oct. 19 at Lawrence Central and Oct. 23, Deaf School.

Detroit has two open dates on Thursday and Friday hefore going to St, Louis to finish with the Browns, but Cleveland has a twoday engagement with the Missourians before the Tigers move in. And the games are necessary since Cleveland still has a mathematical chance to break into the first division ahead of New York, whjle St. Louis needs to win to protect its third-place position. The Tigers need one victory to clinch a tie with the idle Washing- | ton Senators who finished their season Sunday.
Exterminator .of
Derby Fame Dies
BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Sept. 2 (U.P. .~—~Exterminator, regarded by many turfmen 4s the greatest race horse in history, died today at’ the venerable age of 30 at the farm of his owner, Mrs. Willis Sharpe Kilmer. Known as’ “Old Bones,” ExtermInator was chosen recently by Col. Matt Winn as the all-time great in horses because of his victories at all distances and under all conditions, y In 100 trips to the post he was out of the money only 16 times, winning exactly half of his starts —including the Kentucky Derby in 1918—and scoring 17 seconds and 17 thirds.
Sit In On
two of the classiest fighters of present era boxing try for a knockout—something they both promise. Robinson, a wraithlike, dynamite puncher, goes into the ring a 2% to 1 favorite on the basis of his three victories in four previous 10-round fights with the chunky-built NewYork Italian, The only time Robinson has ever been beaten in his eight-year professional career of 57 bouts was a decision victory by Lamotta. Lamotta has fought 62 times, losIng 10 and drawing one. He has never been knocked off his feet, even by Robinson. But Lamotta has sat down the New York Negro twice, although never knocking him out, Lamotta is expected to enter the ring at the 160-pound limit, which would give him an eight and a half pound weight advantage. Both managers have said there will not be any more re-matches.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26 (U. P).— The St. Louls Cardinals’ three-year reign over the National league was all but ended today. , Beaten at their own game, the ability to rally when the chips are down, the Cardinals now can only hang on and hope the league-lead-ing Cubs collapse during the final five days of the season. The ‘Cubs came from behind to nose out the world champions, 6 to B,” yesterday on a slippery, rain soaked fleld before 21,138 fans at Wrigley field, dropping the Cardinals two and a half games behind. But the league leaders did more than beat the Cardinals by one run. The way they snatched the

game out of the fire took something out of the swashbuckling Missouri~ ans who have been sure all season they would win their four con, secutive National league pennant this year,
No Comment From Loser
“We never thought we'd lose that one,” Manager Billy Southworth sald. “There's nothing to say. There can’t be any comment from a loser.” : Actually, the Cardinals’ hope for a world series in St. Louis next week is about as thin as a dream. The fading champions’ only chance would be if the Cubs lose at least three of their remaining six games. - Even then the Missourians would have to sweep their remaining five games merely to tie. Barrett and Passeau That Herculean task was squarely before them today as Southworth planned to send Charley (Red) Barrett, 23-game winner, against the Cubs’ Claude Passeau in the final game of the regular season at Wrigley field. It is the last time the fwo teams meet this year. Southworth was almost as glum today as he was yesterday. Sitting on a locker room bench after the game, almost talking to himself, he mumbled:
loaded. . . . He broke his bat. . , . He broke his bat.” The slugging Slovak’s two-run blow climaxed a four-run Cub rally that gave the league leaders the victory and knocked out Harry Brecheen, who had whipped the Cubs four previous times this season.

Mlinois Girds For Important Irish Contest
« Times Special CHAMPAIGN, II, Sept. 26— Coach Ray Eliot yesterday prescribed. a cure for mistakes his team made in the season's opener with Pittsburgh and began ime mediately to administer it in hopes of complete correction before that important test with Notre Dame in South Bend Saturday. The mistakes which Eliot says will be fatal against the Irish were lack of offensive blocking and inadequate pass defense. The cure he remarked is simply “drill, drill, drill.” - In Sound Condition So the order for practice during the week is hard work: on these important factors and the squad, in good physical condition, is going about its task with a spirit thatindicates Eliot will have his team at a peak by Saturday, The IlMni coach contemplates no’ change in the. lineup which started against Pitt. Bill Heiss and Stan Sprague maintain their end posts; Lou Agase and Capt. Ralph Serpico are the tackles, Larry Forst and Les Bingaman, the guards. George Bujan is slated to open at center, perhaps shifting to fullback when MacWenskunas comes into the lineup at the pivot spot. The first-string backfield is well set with Bill Butkovich at quarter, Eddie Bray, left half; Tom Zaborac, right half, and Jerry Cles, full back.
