Racaties Bow to St. Louis to! Lose Slender Hope of Over- taking Champs THREE STRAIGHT FOR A’s Connie Mack Can Now Figure Qut What Pitcher Not to Send Against Cards (By The Associated Press) Connie Mack, the 68-year-old sage of Shibe Park, can spend the next two weeks figuring out what pitcher the St. Louis Cardinals will not ex- pect him to start against them in the first game of the world series. Any other worry the Philadelphia pilot might have harbored was re- moved Tuesday when his Athletics sewed up their third straight Amer- jcan League flag by overwhelming the Cleveland Indians, 14 to 3, while the ‘Washington Senators were bowing to St. Louis, 5 to 4. If they wished, the world cham- pions could lose their remaining 12 games and, providing Washington won its 13, still finish with a full game lead over the Senators. That, however, is highly improbable, as Lefty Grove would like to win an- other game or two. ‘When informed his A’s had won for him his ninth American League flag, Connie Mack admitted he was pleased, but failed to enthuse. It has been too easy. By coincidence, the Cardinals chose the same day to take a strangle hold on the National League bunting. Defeating Philadelphia 5 to 0, while their closest rivals, the New York Giants, were held idle by rain, Gabby Street's warriors assured themselves at least a tie for the top. If they Jose the remaining games and the Giants: capture all theirs, each will finish with 95 victories and 59 de- feats. The New York Yankees, still scrap- ping for second place, made it four straight from the Detroit Tigers, 9 to 2. Oxtside of Gordon Rhode’s seven- hit pitching, the big feature of the Yank victory was Lou Gehrig's forty- fourth home run. Tom Oliver's single in the tenth in- ning with two out and the bases Toaded drove Danny MacFayden in with the run that gave the Boston Red Sox a 3 to 2 win over Chicago. The Pittsburgh Pirates, behind su- perb pitching by Heine Meine and Larry French, tumbled the Brooklyn Robins twice, 5 to 2 and 2 to 1. Dazzy Vance deserved a better fate in the nightcap, when errors by Herman and Wright gave the Pirates both their runs.

D., Sept. 16—(P}— Fifteen lettermen of the 1930 Wah- ‘peton high school football team, win- ner of the unofficial championship of North Dakota, did not return this fall, and Wahpeton faces a tough schedule with an entirely green squad except for two lettermen, Coach Marty Engh announced. “The men ate light, averaging about 145 pounds,” Coach Engh said of the material which reported to him for the season’s opening prac- tice session. Paul Peterka, quarterback, and John Benda, guard, are the return- ing lettermen. Peterka will captain the 1931 team. Among the men with some football experience there were 11 candidates that showed consider- James Flatten, Roland Butcher, Em- mett Westphal, John Benda, Thomas Brewster, Harold Conolly, Gerald Meyers, Walter Happert, Wilder Kohnke, Alfred Anderson and Alfred Ekes. Nine hard games have been sched- uled by the Wahpeton school, Engh said, three with Minnesota schools. A game with Fargo high will open the series of weekly conflicts Sept. 19. Other games will be with Moor- head, Lidgerwood, Sisseton, Breck- enridge, Fergus Falls, Oakes, and Hankinson. A return game with Breckenridge will be played Nov. 11, closing the season.

North Dakota Heavyweight Wins in Fourth From Gene Stanton, Cleveland New York, Sept. 16—(?)—Chark Retzlaff, Duluth heavyweight, who suffered his first setback in his last fight here, came back Tuesday night to knock out Gene Stanton of Cleve- land in the fourth round of their ten-round bout at the Queensboro stadium. The knockout came after a minute and seventeen seconds of fighting in the fourth. Retelaff weighed 195%, Stanton 197%. Stanton was not much of a match for Retzlaff as the North Dakota slugger brought his record up-to 31 knockouts in 36 contests. He did not land a hard wallop all through the fight while Retzlaff sparred cautious- ly through the first three frames un- til he found the opening he sought in the fourth and put over a right uppercut to the chin for the deciding blow. Stanton tried in vain to reach Retz- laff, who had a big advantage in reach, but the best he could do was to land a few light left jabs. Retzlaff rocked him a@ couple of times in the second and third rounds with his powerful right to prepare the way for the killing.

Probably the largest army of pig- skin chasers in the history ef the conference, 648 candidates or an average of almost six full teams for each camp, heard the call at Tues- day’s opening drills. The largest turnouts were register- ed at Purdue and Minnesota where Coaches Noble Kizer of the Boiler- makers \and Fritz Crisler of the Gophers counted 80 candidates each.

By the time classes start in full swing around the conference, the number may be swelled to 700, it was predicted. No time clocks were needed any- where in the conference for the opening drills. In every camp, the candidates were hustled through brisk workouts in fundamentals of the game, and many of the coaches came up with announcements scrimmage Hdd ‘was only a few days away. Probably the happiest coach of them all was the 70-year-old Stage. His chief worry involves reserves for his first string and he expects to find some in/ the larger squad.
