Two months ago a game lost was accompanied by no particularly dis- astrous after-effects but with only two weeks to go, a defeat for a con- tender calls for tearing of hair in the home camp and loud and pro- longed cheers from pennant rivals.

GEHRIG BEST LIKELY Henry Farrell Places Leading of their bitter American Leagu2 rivals, the Philadelphia Athletics, while the idle St. Louis Cardinals, stretched their National League ad- vantage to two full games when the second place New York Giants bowed to Pittsburgh. That Giant defeat, by 1 to 0, was a bitter pill for Larry Benton, right- handed red-head of John McGraw’s twirling staff. Larry held the bat- tling Pirates to two hits in the eight innings he worked and walked only two men and yet had only himself to blame for his defeat. Both Pirate hits and both of Benton’s walks came in the third inning, when the only run of the gams was scored. Dazzy Vance saw a _well-pitched game go us the boards as the Cin- cinnati Reds trimmed the Brooklyn Robins, 4 to 3 in 10 innings. The Reds scored single runs in the fourth and sixth with the aid of errors by Bissonette and Hank Deberry and apparently had the game won as the Robins came to bat in the ninth. Johnny Gooch’s pinch double, how- ever, scored two runs and forced the game into extra innings. . The Yankees made sure of staying on top of the American League standing for another day when they beat St. Louis, 7 to 5, and evened the series. The Yankees were off to an early lead and ‘saw to it that the Browns never caught up. Lou Geh- rig smacked out his 24th homer of the year in the fifth but Babe Ruth went hitless. Back of Lefty"Grove's great pitch- ing the Athletics coasted to victory over the down-trodden Cleveland In- dians, 7 to 1. It was Grove’s 23rd victory of the season against seven defeats cad the Indians’ 11th succes- sive reverse. Good _pitchii at Alphonse Thomas and “Slim” Harriss gave Chicago <nd Boston an even beak in a double-header. Thomas allowed four hits in the first game which went to the White Sox 7 to 1, while Harriss allowed the same number in twirling Boston to a 2 to 0 shutout in the niehtcap. Three Tiger pitchers were slugged for 15 hits as Washington took the second game of the series with De- troit, 11 to 7. CASEY AWAITS SIX ARRIVALS Fargo, N. D., Sept. 17.—(AP)— Coach C. C. Finnegan at th college here is eagerly awaiting the arrival'.of five, or six huskies this week to bolster his 1928 football machine ie. Several good prospects, including lettermen from last year's squad have not reported and are |S gaa to show up here some time ‘week.

The huskie: in for some stiff Practice work this week, it is indi- cated by the schedule of Coaches Borleske and Finnegan. Twent; five men are working out daily at Order: Gehrig, Bottomley. Terry, Orwol or Foxx, Gran- tham and Grimm BY HENRY L. FARRELL Any method of analyzing the po- sition by position strength of the two teams that may meet in the world series is difficult. An ex- ercise of individual opinion and a certain amount of guessing are es- sential when only one player is be- ing compared to one other rival player. When as many as six or seven players have to be considered in trying to dope whether the Ameri- can league team or the National league team will be stronger at any position the task becomes the more difficult in the same ratio. The pennant races in the two ma- jor leagues may extend to the very last day of the season and under the circumstances it may not be in- opportune to indulge now in a little doping and play at comparisons with all the men who are on an eligible team. For the sake of brevity and sim- plicity, the infielders, in this series, will be treated as individuals rather than as a group and the first base- men of the six clubs standing for the league championships will be taken up first. Gehrig “Ts First Choice Considering the general quality of their game, their disposition, ote ‘or “money playing” in a short series, the first basemen of the contending perience and _ qualification clubs are rated as follows: Gehrig, New York Yankees, 1. Bottomley, St. Louis Cards, 2. Terry, New York Giants, 3 plus. Orwoll or Foxx, Philadelphia Ath- letics, 3. Grantham. Pittsburgh Pirates, 4, Grimm, Chicago Cubs, 5. This is a convenient way of say- ing that the American league will have the advantage on first base 4 the St. Louis Cardinals win the Na- tional league pennant Lou Gehrig would have only a slight advantage the Yankees win the pennarit. over Jim Bottomley. Gehrig and Bottomley have been great first basemen during the sea- son. Bottomley was not in the best of physical condition and he will not be a sound man if he gets into the series. Gehrig has batted in more runs and he handles throws better than Bottomley. Foxx Lacks Experience If the Cards should letics the Cards would poses by hit Series against the Yankees.

Grimm if they should happen to get jinto the series. It is almost certain that Bottom- jley will not be able to play his’ best game in the world series if his serv- ices are needed. He is just out of an attack of flu and you don’t snap out of that thing in a hurry. If anything should happen to him young Orsatti would have to be used and it would be a tough spot \for him. Gehrig also has not been in the best of shape, but he is suffering from wear and tear and he ought to be able to recover with even a brief rest.

RH Chicago, Sept. 17.—Old Gus H. Fan thinks it would be an interest- ing experiment to watch a good pro eleven against a nice college team and is willing to debate on either ‘side as to the probable winner of such a game. But there would be only one re- ‘sult to such a contest in the opinion of Alonzo A. Stagg, Chicago grid coach. “A first rate college team would defeat the best pro tcams,” he says. “Pro teams are composed of great individual players, but they haven’t the collective strength or the spirit or the will to win that the college boys have.” Benny Friedman, the former Michigan star, who is playing pro football with Detroit this season, thinks the pros would trim the col- lege boys.

With the first game drawing near, mentors in most of the schools are initiating a stiffer schedule of prac- tice work. For the last two weeks the coaches have been satisfied to see their proteges kick the ball around, practice the art of properly falling on the pigskin and take short runs around the practice field. This week, however, things will be different. In schools where a fresh- men team is available, practice games with the younger squads have been scheduled. At several schools games have been scheduled between the alumni and. aspirants for berths on the 1928 machi The state agricultural high school at Fargo and the senior high school outfit at Valley City will get a one- day start on most football machines by virtue of their games scheduled for Friday afternoon.
