THE BISMARC Giants Need Two More Victories To Clinch National League Flag As Double-Header Is Rained Out Cubs Beat Reds to Cut Deficit to Four Games; Cubs’ Bryant Is Star a ss Writer) Associated Press 8; Sust about the only things left standing Wednesday between the Giants and Yankees and their five- cent series were seven games in the National League and as many in the American. For the Bronx bombers, “in” since way back when, those seven games really couldn't be called an obstacle. Exercise, perhaps, with the chance of winning one of Wednesdays’s tests from the Athletics and heed hensoe their 100th scalp of the year. “Frne seven. pen the Giants have left are a bit more of @ hurdle, but not much. And for that the Terry- men, campaigning without their flu- stricken boss, can thank the weather. Rained Out It rained in New York. Tuesday — rained a double-header with the Bees right out of the season. Thus, al- though the Cubs cut their deficit to four games by blanking the Reds 2-0, the 1936 champions were left needing only two more victories to clinch the flag.

U-Texas Tilt Is Feature Event On Nation’s Card Intersectional Warfare to Get Off to Rousing Start This Week-End New York, Sept. 29.—(#)—All verses to the contrary notwithstanding, the East and the West meet this week. And so do the East and South and Southwest and practically all other combinations that can be put together in arranging a big slate of intersec- tional football games. This intersectional warfare will con- tinue until the last touchdown has been made, but it really flourishes on the first two or three Saturdays in October. The. principal visitors to the east this week are Kansas State, which takes on Boston college in a game that promises to be a high spot, Texas A. and M. which faces Manhattan, and Virginia, Clemson, the Citadel, Maryland, Loyola (New Orleans), Hampden-Sydney, Mississippi and Wake Forest. The last two start the thing off Friday night, against Tem- ple and George Washington, respec- tively. The other pairings are Vir- ginia-Princeton, Clemson-Army, the Citadel-Navy, Pennsylvania - Mary- land, Rutgers-Hampden-Sydney and Catholic-Loyola, Throughout the rest of the country, intersectional games are fewer and farther apart, but in the South Van- jaerbilt takes on Chicago and Louis- jana State entertains Texas while Centenary again crosses into Texas to play Southern Methodist. Missouri, from the Midwest, in- vades the Rocky, Mountain sector to take on Colorado university. The only intersectional game on the west. coast finds the University of San Francisco playing a small Texas rival, Daniel Baker. The LS.U.-Texas clash should be one of the week's best with the home team, perhaps, having a slight edge. Bowlers Meeting Will Be Tonight To Organize for Coming Year in Gathering in Labor Hall at 8 P. M. Reorganization of the Bismarck Bowling association for the coming season is scheduled to take place to- night at a meeting in Labor hall, above the Bismarck recreation par- lors, Steve Walery, manager, an- nounced, Officers will be elected and the groundwork for two city leagues laid. Plans call for much the same setup Sood! as existed last year to be put into ef- fect again this year. If possible, play in the two leagues will get under way within the next t| two weeks, Giants boast two—need we say?—very fine southpaws in Carl Hubbell and Cliff Melton, All interested bowlers are invited to attend the meeting tonight, Wallery o—_—_s______-——__-0 {| Baseball Standings | e¢——_____. -- - + (By the Associated Press) NATIONAL LEAGUE L New York . 5¢ Chicago .

Clint Frank Leads Strong Yale Squad Line to Average 190 Pounds, Heaviest in Years; Face Eight-Game Schedule Editors Note:—This is another of a series dealing with prospects of major college football teams. i New Haven, Conn., Sept. 29.—()— ‘Three days before the opening game, Head Coach Ducky Pond admits Yale is going to have a good football team this season—but “even so it may lose three or four games.” With Capt. Clint Frank, all-America back from Evanston, Ill. setting a speedy pace, the brawny, powerful squad which is rich in backfield ma- terial but not so fortunate in the line, shows evidence that it has the ability to cope with almost any situation. The Elis open an eight-game sched- ule in the Bowl Saturday against Maine. Johnny Miller, Columbus, Ohio, youth who was ineligible last year is bringing much joy to the Yale camp by the manner in which he has been filling the huge gap at one of the Blue's wings caused by the loss of Larry (the Great) Kelley. The tackles still are a problem. Bill John, 215 pounds, is holding down one tackle again and Bill Platt, a con- verted center, is coming along nicely, but an injury could hurt the team seriously. The eleven as it shapes up now will be one of the heaviest in years, the furward wall averaging 190 pounds and the backfield, the real bright spot, about 185. The Schedule: October 2, Maine; 9, Pennsylvania; 16, Army; 23, Cornell; 30, Dartmouth; Nov. 6, Brown; 13, Princeton; 20, Harvard at Cambridge.

TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1987 _ These Men Must Muffle Ruppert Rifles Carl Hubbell ao Dick Coffman eke * " Hal Schumacher *** oe Cliff Melton ee * eee Wolverines Point For Triumph Over - Michigan Staters Prospects Best in Years; Ohi State Grooms for Purdue Game Saturday ————— Boeed® i 58 i z Pitchers Hold Answer to Success Or Failure = Of Giants in World Series; Melton May Be Key New York, Sept, 29.—(NEA)—Pitching, again, is the New York Giants’ hope in the world series with their Yankee neighbors from across Harlem ribber. But this year’s staff, on paper, doesn’t appear to be as strong nor as dependable as the previous pennant-winning mound corps which Manager Bill Terry Jed into the 1933 and 1936 series. | ‘As usual, of course, there’s Carl Hubbell, who is as strong and as dependable as ever. But gone is Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons, who was so brilliant in defeat in the ‘36 series, and Hal Schumacher, who sent. the series into six games with a gallant 5-4 10-inning triumph, might just as well be gone, too. He has been of little help this year, and unless there is a sudden, miraculous hot rush of health into his arm, he won’t be of much use against the Yanks. Thus, after Hubbell is done with the first game, Terry will have to entrust the pitching to Cliff Melton, a young 6-foot-5 giant of a rookie left-hander, who has been nothing short of a sensation this year; Harry Gumbert, a brash young man who is somewhat unde- pendable; Al Smith, a fluttery southpaw; Dick Coffman, who wasn’t good enough to pitch for the Browns; Don Brennan, freed by the Reds, and Tom Baker, a boy. Rookie Melton, best of the new southpaw pitchers, will pitch the second game of the series and, if necessary, the fifth. He has shared the bulk of the Giant pitching with Hubbell this season both as @ successful starter and a game reliever. ‘The husky former North Carolina grocery boy will be seeking revenge along with glory. He was up with the Yankees a year ago, you see, and they treated him with great disdain and shooed him back to the minors. . “Not good enough for the big leagues,” they said. “He's got a million-dollar arm, but only 10-cent control.” And, 60, Mr. Melton, who cathe up to the big leagues with such high hopes, suddenly found himself back in Baltimore, of all places, for another year. And if you've ever been in Baltimore you'll know that’s enough to make a man hate with a great heartiness. But hate, desire for revenge, and pitching ability, may not be enough to bring him victory. Working against the brilliant young southpaw is the world series bugaboo over first-year men.

Southpaws have given the Yankees Ruppert Rifles’ fire. Smith is a gopd journeyman left-hander, bub the Yanks slaughtered him last year. Brennan, Coffman and Baker might be good enough to get one man out apiece. &o it looks as though Hubbell and Melton, conceding they can three games, will have to get together on that fourth i€ the Giants are going to get their revenge. As for catching, the Yanks will have the edge there. Crus Men- cuso has slipped somewhat ... he’s older, more brittle... but he should be able to weather @ seven-game, or less, But even if he is out, the Giant catching will be in capable ands. Harry Danning, the young Jewish giant, has done a grand job filling in this season, catching one two-week stretch there a while back with two sprained feet. But he can’t hit with Bill Dickey of the Yanks. ‘The Messrs. Hubbell and Melton, however, promise to do their share in seeing that Mr. Dickey and the other Yanks don’t do such ® terrific amount of hitting.
