FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1945 CUBS, TIGERS ON BRINK OF LOOP TITLES Flag Ties Are Clinched- Cards Can Toss Away | Chance Against Reds T RACES AT A GLAI\C!; PENN uoA\ samn{) puryeg swes Aeigox saung American Lcagun— Detroit . Washington National League— Chicago St. Louis 5 92 59 By JOE REICHLER (Associated Press Sports Writer) Only a complete collapse on the part of the Chicago Cubs or the Detroit Tigers will prevent them from meeting in the World Series. | The Cubs today enjoy a three- game lead over the St. Louis Card- inals in the National League pen- nant race as a result of yesterday’ double triumph over Cincinnati, 3-1 and 7-4 while the Cards were bow- ing to Pittsburgh, 5-2. { Even if the Cubs were to lose all three of their remaining games and the Cards win their three, Chol- ly Grimm’s now jolly Bruins, like the Tigers in the American League, can get no worse than a tie for the ilag. The Cubs rest today preparing for their three-game clash with the Pirates starting with a double head- er Saturday, needing only one vic- tory to clinch the flag. The Cards, meanwhile, engage the Reds in three games, two tomorrow. Steve O’Neill’'s cock-sure Bengals, idle yesterday, also remain inactive until tomorrow when they come to grips with the defending champion St. Louis Browns in the first of a two-game weekend meeting. And lik» the Cubs, need only one victory to edge out Washington for the' junior loop championship. { In the event a “miracle” and the Cubs and Tigers blow all their remaining games, while the Cards win theirs, the Cubs and Cards would meet in a playoff game | on Monday as would the Tigers and | Sentors. Otherwise the Tigers will attempt to even their World Series competition against the Cubs to! whom they lost in 1907 and '08 and | defeated in 1935. There was only onz other game | played in the majors yesterday, an | afternoon game between the New Shrk Yankees and Philadelphia Athleties, with the Yanks breezing to an 8 to 1 victory. oceurs, | THURSDAY’'S GAMES (American League) New York, 8; Philadelphia, 1.

HONOLULU, Sept. 28 — History may yet record that the thrilling message, “Send us more Japs,” came from Wake Island before it ! fell to the Nipponese on Dec. 23, 1941, ¥ Ensign Bernard J. Lauff, of Milan, Mich, a communications officer on Wake, said here—while on his way home—it was just pos- sible that he sent it, although he doesn't recall. However, Lauff explained, it was ccmmon practice to pad out short messages in order to confuse the enemy. He could have used those words for padding purposes. The occasion for Laufi’s ex- planation was an assertion in San Diego, Calif.,, by Comdr. Campbell Keene, veteran of the fall of Wake, that Lauff authored the message. - i - WEATHER REPORT (U, 8; WEATHER BUREAU) Temperatures for 24-Hour Perlod Ending 7:30 0'Clock This Mornlug o 0 In.
