NEW YORK. Sept. 15.—(UP) — The business of clinching the American League pennant was a very touchy subject with the New York Yankees today. They had hoped to hav the pennant all wrapped up ir a pretty package for delivery by now. Instead, they are in an insidious slump and still need three vic-

i lories.

The Yanks lost their third straight yesterday, bowing to Buck Newsom and the Tigers, 6-1. It was the second straight day the Yanks couldn’t score until the ninth, and yesterday's ! lone tally was more a gift run than anything else. Newsom had the Yanks handcuffed throughout hut yielded the run in the ninth when Babe Dahlgren singled, went to sec- ! one! unmolested, and scored on pinchhitter Tommy Henrich's double. In scoring his 16th triumph New- | som gave the Yanks only six hits. | three of them by Frankie Crosetti. | The Tigers knocked out Alley Doni aid, hero of 12 straight earlier in the i season, for the third straight time I and handed him his third defeat. i Rod Kress’ double with the bases loaded in the third was the blow that

broke the camel’s back.

The Yanks’ loss didn’t alter their 15-game lead as the Red Sox also bowed. Any combination of three Yankee victories and Red Sox defeats will clinch the pennant for New York. But it’s particularly galling to the Yanks to go into reverse when they are in sight of the promised land. They had hoped to clinch the pennant as quickly as possible and then rest up to polish off the Reds in the world series. The last two years the Yanks backed into the pennant, clinching it by virtue held j of another team’s loss rather than a

j Yankee triumph.

The Red Sox made a gallant rally to try to overcome the Indians but stubbed their toes just one run short and lost, 8-7. Cleveland had a 7-0 lead going into the sixth when the Red Sox put on a five-run rally and followed it up with two more tallies in the seventh. Campbell and Grimes led the Tribe's attack with

four hits each.

Dutch Leonard scored his 18th victory by pitching Washington to a 5-1 victory over the Browns, yield-

ing only six hits.

The Athletics beat the White Sox, 4-2, in 10 innings when Dee Miles hit a homer with a mate on base to break up the game in the extra frame. Nelson Potter held the MJhite Sox to three hits, but one of them was a homer by Steinbacher with a mate on in the first inning. Cincinnati knocked off its jinx team, the Giants, twice, 8-5 and 9-3 to increase its National League lead to four games. Paul Derringer, although allowing 12 hits, won his 21st game with comparative ease. The Reds knocked Carl Hubbell out of the box in two innings, scoring five runs, and batter out 13 hits oft three pitchers in the nightcap. The St. Louis Cardinals won their I third straight, walloping the Boston Bees, 6-3. Curt Davis ami Lon Warneke pitched for the Cards, Davis getting credited with Tils 21st vic-

tory.

The Chicago Cubs won both ends of their double bill from the Philadelphia Phillies, 13-1 and 5-2. Brooklyn broke even with Pittsburgh. losing the opener, 4-3, and taking the nightcap. 8-4. Rookie Bob Elliott’s single with the bases loaded gave the Pirates the first game. Pete Coscarart had a perfect day, “4 for 4” and started the Dodgers’ winning rally in the seventh. Yesterday's Hero — Ol’ Charlie Root, oldest active major leaguer at 39, who pitched the Cubs to a 13-1 victory over the Bees, and hit a homer with a man on besides.

By Henry MeLemore NEW YORK. Sept. 15 (UP)—Ths exact figure isn’t available, but what would be your estimate of the amount of money contributed to the educational institutions of this country by the owners of professional

football teams?

Twenty cents? No. that’s a little high. Ten cents? That’s closer, but still a little steep. My own guess would be three zeroes, a minus sign, and a counterfeit plugged nickel. In

other words, not a penny.

Such a state of affairs hard’y seems fair. Aside from those conceited old moneybags who want to have their names perpetuated in some hall, dormitory, fountain, or gymnasium, it seems to me that the pro owners should be the heaviest contributors to college endowments. Year after year, year after year, without charging a dime for the service, the colleges of this country turn out the football players who make the pro game possible. They take in youngsters who know nothing and for three years provide them with coaching, equipment, medical treatment, and then turn them over to the professional entrepreneurs. The crop of football players is as steady and undiminished as that of pota- j

toes.

More important, the colleges tu’n cut the potential pro material al- ! ready publicized. By the time a good ] football player gets through college j his name is known to every football | customer in the country. This is a 1 tremendous help to the pro promoters. No other sports business gets such a windfall. In baseball it takes years of careful, thoughtful, and expensive publicity to spread the fame of a Gehrig, a Feller, or a DiMaggio to the far corners of the nation. The same is true in hockey, polo, tennis and all other sports. But the Red Granges, the Bronko Nagurskis, the Ernie Nevers, the Whizzer Whites and the Davey O’Briens are box-of-fice draws from the very first day. My belief is that the colleges are suckers for not making the pro promoters pay something for their ready-made material, particularly those small colleges whose endowments are meager and who could use a little ready cash to patch up the president's house, get the dean a new desk lamp, and hire a French professor whose accent didn't sound as if he had acquired it as a bety in east Brooklyn. How to get the money? Well, put the football players under contract and reserve the right to bargain for them when they graduate and start eyeing the pro field. A college could hold out until It got a bonus. Or the colleges could enter into a working agreement with a pro team—become a sort of "farm,” that is and sell their players direct. There are any number of ways the colleges could cash in on the players they turn out each year. Of course, the pro owners might answer this by establishing colleges of their own, where young men could major in punting, passing, blocking and the such. Tim Mara University, for example. Or Art Rooney college. Or Dan Topping’s select finishing school for young men weighing 195 or over.
