hemes BISMARCK GANG ENTERS ANNUAL GRUDGE AFFAIR Capital City Boys Will Enter Brave Game With Admitted Weight Advantage BOTH TEAMS STRONG Grand Forks Opens Season Against Thief River Falls Outfit Friday Bismarck and Mandan hold the center of the North Dakota high school football stage this week-end, the only strong teams in the state pitted against each other. All other strong teams are play- ing weaker opponents, while border teams are playing teams in other states, There is little to choose between the Demons and Braves as the Bis- marck eleven invades Mandan Sat- urday. Bismarck will outweigh the Mandan outfit, but Mandan has al- ways been a jinx to the local crew on the gridiron, Mandan last year won both games from the capital city eleven. Bismarck and Mandan both had easy wins last week, the Pemons walloping Linton 90 to 0 and Man- dan coming bi from Washburn with a 41 to 0 vistor: The game Saturday is the first of two games between the two teams this season. The second game is set for Bismarck, November 10. Favored teams came through + great style last week-end, Bismarck Mandan, Farge, Williston and Val- ley City winning games by com- fortable margins. Devils Lake was upset in a hard-fought game at loorhead, the final score being 27 to 6 in favor of the Spuds. Faces of many well-known players were absent in the high school games last week-end, among them being McEssy, Fargo fullback last year. DuChene, plucky Grand Forks uarterback who later made himself famous at the national basketball tournament by qualifying for an all- American position; George Heidt, classy Mandan half-back; Paul Hed- strom, clever Bismarck end; Griffin, Devils Lake’s rugged fullback; and Ham Simons, fleet Midget halfback. y shining stars are in_ the fold again this year, however. Lead- ing the list is the outstanding ath- lete in North Dakota high school circles—Frankie Clinton, Grand Forks lineman, Clinton will be laying his fourth year with the Forks outfit this year and has been one of the outstanding guards of the state, despite his small stature. Frankie is captain of both the foot- ball and basketball teams at Grand Forks this year, and was an all- state basketball man last winter. Another star rose to heights at Williston last week in the person of Carney, fleet and rugged Williston quarterback, who teased Plentywood tacklers all afternoon, tearing off several substantial gains and com- pleting many passes on both the re- ceiving and sending end. And spnnny O'Hare, Bismarck’s youthful fullback, showed that he was one of the state’s best backs in his opening game, by running like a veteran and showing class in all departments of the game. ‘argo, as usual, has few out- standing men, all of them playing hard and being well-tutored. Benny Mellon, quarterback, and Bud Weible, new fullback, seemed the most successful ground gainers for the Midgets, and Enders played a nice game at end. i Minot seems to have a star in their captain and halfback—Miller. Miller is one of the biggest backs in the state and is a capable line- crasher, being a veteran Magic City performer. McDonald, Mandan Brave back, promises to scintillate again this ear, making a good start at Wash- ten last week by tearing off several long gains.

GOULD (Associated Press Sports Writer) New ‘York, Sept. 26.—(4)—It wouldn’t have taken more than one guess to pick the heaviest hitting outfield in baseball last year. The Yankee combination of Ruth, Meu- sel and Combs wrought havoc on all sides. This season, however, its siege gun power has waned, espe- cially since July, so much so that the Athletics now boast the heaviest attack of any of the four clubs in the closing pennant scramble, The Yankee trio boasted a com- bined average of .350 with the st in 1927 but the latest unofficial av- erages show a falling off to .317, with the chief reservist, Ben chal, around the same notch. The Athletics are ten points higher with a mark of .327 for-the four who have seen the most service—Sim- mons, Miller, Cobb and French. The reversible Giant outfield forces offer considerable contrast. The strongest trio at bat, averaging around .320, consists of Welsh, Ott and O'Doul. The combination of Welsh, Reese and Mann is barely able to muster an average of .300 but, it is more effective against southpaw pitching. The youthful Ott is the hardest natural hitter in the collection but Welsh and Reese have been setting a terrific pace lately. The Cardinals have a great slug- ger in Chick Hafey, who hits. them earnestly and far but it takes his excellent mark of around .340 to: pull the St. Louis average up to .304 for the outer garden as a whole. Dou- thit covers a lot of grounc in center but has not been hitting consistent- ly. Harper and Holm, who divide the right field responsibilities, also are somewhat erratic. Defensively, the veteran Yankee trio is the best of the lot. There aren’t two better throwing arms in the business than those of Ruth and Meusel while Combs is a ball-hawk. The loss of Eddie Roush cut down some of the defensive skill of the Giant outfield but Walsh has proved a capable successor. Canzoneri Is Favorite to Defeat Routis in Big Fight New York, Sept. 26.—Tex Rickard plans to hold seven world’s cham- pionship fights in Madison Square Garden during the winter season and his program is scheduled to start with a 15-round contest on Sept. 28 between Tony Canzoneri, world’s featherweight champion, and Andre Routis, France, who holds the Eu- ropean championship. Canzoneri is recognized as the world’s champion in this country but his claim is disputed in Europe. The contest, in addition to proving a good exhibition of ring craft, should establish an official cham- pion for the first time since Johnny Dundee retired. Canzoneri, a Brooklyn Italian, is favored in the betting to win the de- cision. St. Louis Leading Giants by One Game While New York- ers Enjoy Better Margin Over Fighting Athletics— Campaign Only Five Days Away By HERBERT W. BAKER (Associated Press Sports Writer) As if by mutual consent, the con- tenders in baseball’s two major league pennant battles have settled into a perfect lockstep which, if maintained in unbroken rhythm, automatically will carry the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees into the world’s serie: With the end of the cam only five days away, the Cards to- day led the Giants by a single game, while the Yankees enjoyed a two- game margin over the Athletics. The Yanks apparently are “in,” but the National league fight may be carried right up to the final day— September 30—when the contenders clash at the Polo grounds. That bat- tle will bring the lockstep and may decide the new National league champions. There was no chewee in the situ- ation yesterday, for the leaders in each league were returned victorious. The Giants and the Cardinals, however, both had close calls, The Giants apparently were doomed to defeat at the hands of Eppa Rixey and the Cincinnati Reds when the last half of the ninth opened. Here Rixey gave Bob O'Farrell, a pinch hitter, the only pass he issued. O'Doul ran for O'Farrell, but_was forced at second by Welsh. The latter, however, scored the tying run of Andy Cohen’s triple to right field, Joe Stripp fruitlessly protesting that spectators had interfered with his fielding of the ball. In this crisis Leslie Mann came through with a single, scoring Reese with the run that gave the Giants a 4 to 3 victory. The Cardinals were given a ter- rific battle at Brooklyn, but finally edged out a 4 to 3 win in 15 innings. Douthit’s Texas league double scored Rabbit Maranville with the winning run, Maranville got on base only because Del Bissonette fumbled his grounder. Wee Willie Sherdel went the route for the leaders and would have won in regulation time had not Hafey contributed an error that per- mitted the Dodgers to tie the score in the eighth. The Chicago Cubs all but passed out of the pénnant picture when they wee beaten by the Phillies, 5 to 2. It was the Phils’ first win in their last 13 games, and it dropped the Cubs five and a half games back of the leading Cardinals. One more Cub defeat or one Cardinal victory, and Chicago’s last mathematical chance for the pennant will be gone. The Pittsburgh Pirates need most of their 17 hits to score a 13 to 8 victory over the Boston Braves. The Yanks socked George Grant and Bill Byrne for six runs in the first inning and had no trouble coast- ing to a 10 to 1 triumph over the Cleveland Indians.

JOHNNY LAYTON DEFEATS HOPPE IN 2 MATCHES if Billiard Champions Performed at Grand Pacific Pool Hall Yesterday Johnny Layton, national billiard champion, defeated Willie Hoppe, the 18-1 Balkline champion in two ition games yesterday at the Grand Pacific billiard room. In the initial match at 3 o’clock Layton outplayed his opponent. by a score of 60 to 44 in 40 innin, The evening match resulted in Lay- ton winning by a 50 to 45 in 55 inn- ings. During the afternoon match both Bill M’Kechnie May Be Pennant Winner in Two [Will Meet in Title Bout Soon MANAGER TOOK LOOP GONFALON AT PITTSBURGH St. Louis Cardinal Appears Winner of Another Flag During Present Year BREAKS COMBINATION McGraw Has Record for Win {ent cities, |they won the pennant in 1925, the World Championships; Piloted Giants to Three BY BILLY EVANS If the St. Louis Cardinals cop the National League pennant this sea- son—and it seems nothing short of a complete collapse can prevent such an occurrence—Bill McKechnie will have the honor of putting over an achievement accomplished by only one other National League manager in the last 29 seasons. And that is, piloting a flag winner in two differ- Back in 1915 the late Pat Moran led the Phillies to the gonfalon. Four years later he turned the same trick for Cincinnati. In each instance it was the only time the Phils or Reds finished on top. McKechnie, it will be recalled, ‘was manager of the Pirates when ‘first Pittsburgh championship over a 16-year stretch. Now Bill has a chance to equal the feat hung up by Moran nine years ago. Titles Are Monopolized National League titles, by the way, have been -pretty much mo- nopolized by the Clarke-Chance-Me- Graw combine. Clarke, while’ ing the Pirates, copped four flags; Chance, with his peerless Chicago Club machine, reached the purple heights four times too and McGraw and his Giants have shown the way on 10 occasions, Thus the famous triumvirate has accounted for 18 old league championships since Clarke led Pittsburgh to the throne in 1901. The. only other National League pilot to win more than one pennant in modern play is Wilbert Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Uncle Robbie put his club on top in 1916 and 1920. From 1901 until 1914 the cham- pionship was nothing but a Clarke- Chance-McGraw affair. Then came George Stallings to break the ice with the sensational rush of his Bos- ton Braves in 1914. But for that thrilling July to October march Mc- Graw would have added another flag to.his string. Outside of Stallings there have been just four one-time winners— Fred Mitchell (Cubs) in 1918; Mey Kechnie (Pirates) in 1925; Hornsby (Pirates) in 1927. pea had high runs of six and last evening Layton and Hoppe had high runs of five. een! competition between the players existed at all stages of both matches, and although. Layton was victorious in both events, the nar- rowness of the margin wowid indi- cate that he did not have a walk- away. At the conclusion of the afternoon play Layton gave a diamond lecture and Hoppe demonstrated some fancy shots as well as re-enacting a series of trick plays, showing the difficult ones that gained him the victory during his reign as king of the balk- liners, is i consisted chiefly of masse shots. Layton’s demonstration showed conclusively that the diamond spots on the rail of the billiard tables were not there for ornamental purposes, being used in guides in scientifically calculating the route a cue ball must, travel to score a billiard. Cue fans will remember that it was Layton who defeated Hoppe in the last three cushion tournament at Chicago, winning the championship. A fair sized crowd of billiard fans witnessed both demonstrations.
