TUESDAY, bl:PTLMBER 22, |945 TWO SERIES CAN SETTLE FLAGS' FATE Both Tigers,aCabs Heading Into Vital Two-Day Engagements RGeS EE y 2 FF § B o3 3 3 2 8 2 B n %L E§ a8 “ American League— Detroit 8 64 0 4 ‘Washington 87 67 1 0 National League Chicago 92 0.1 St. Louis 91 87 1% G By JACK HAND (Associated Prcs Sports Writer) Presidenta Will Harridge of the American League and Ford Frick of the National might well devote some time today to the possibility of a pennant tie, as the top con- tenders enter the final nerve- gnawing six days of the regular season. It's never happened before and probably won’t this time, but if Detroit loses three of its last four and the St. Louis Cardinals sweep two more from Chicago there will be confusion aplenty. Best chance for a deadlock is in the American where Washington has finished its schedule and has nothing more to do than wait and pray for the Tigers to get knocked over by Cleveland and St. Louis. Steve O'Neill has a chance to be sure of at least a tie by beating Cleveland today in the ovener of a twogame set, and he has nomi- nated Al Bentun. the ex-sailor, to do the job. If the big Yeliow wins, it will be Hal Newhouser tomorrow to apply for the clincher. However, there is a chance the Tribe could cop one or both games and make it necessary for the Bengals to sweep their final two in St. Louis, Saturday and Sunday, to nose past the idle Senators. least the Tigers probably | At won't see any more of Bobby Feller, who has faced them three <times since he came out of the Navy. Rapid Robert worked against Chicago Sunday and won't be ready for the two with Hank Greenberg and Co. The Cub-Cardinal two-day series, opening at Wrigley Field today, is loaded with possibilities. Beaten 15 timeés in 20 starts by Billy South- worth’s gang, the Cubs now are only a game and a half ahead of St. Louis. Inability of the Bruins to stop the onrushing Cardinals has cost them much prestige as well as several precious lengths in the won and lost column. Charley Grimm'’s Cubs are faced with the necessity of winning least one of the two games or dropping out of the lead for the first time since July 8. at!

SCHEDULE FOR USE FORSCHOOL GYMIS | BEING ARRANGED Grzanizations wb'hmg to use the High Schcol Gymnasium or the 3T School Gymnasium are re- quesied to communicate with Supt. A. B. Phillips sometime this week, in order that a schedule may be made up of the nights either gym- nasium will ke in use. Last year the gymnasiums were busy evary night of the week, and if there is sufficient demand from various groups, will be ‘available again this year. It should be re- membered the gymnasiums are nev- er let out to individuals but only to responsible organizations, for ath- letic purpos All crganizations interested in having a night reserved for their use of either gymnasium should com- municate with Supt. later than this week, stating the name of the organiza- tion, approximate number of mem- bers, purpose (general gym activities, basketball, badminton, etc.), and the elected officers of the organiza- tion. At least one night a week has al- ready been requested by the Bad- minton Club, and a women'’s Athletic Club which is now in the process of crganizing, and more of which will be announced later, has spoken for one night. Two nights a week have been ten- tatively set aside for use by the City Basketball league, although at this time nothing much has been said about a league this year. However, it is assumed one will be formed as in the past, but if one fails to ma terialize, the nights now reserved for them will be assigned to other groups. Early in October a call will be made for the managers of the var- ious teams to meet and see what the basketball outlook is for the winter. In the meantime, any organization wishing to put a team in the field s unchanged should start looking for players now. | High school students are not eligi ble for City League teams. Every- cne interested is requested to watch! for the announcement about City League early next month. S e, PIONEERS AND AUXILIARY “Pot Luck” Dinner, 6:30 p. m. Friday, Sept. 28.
