_THE_EVENTNG © STAR. W/ \SHINGTON., n Yankees Gamely Surmount Injuries to NOSE OUT THE AS AFTER HARD FIGHT St. Louis Cards Now Need But One Victory to Get Into World Series. B (he Associated Press T was a long, painful journey, but| the New York Yankees finally have | staggered to their sixth American | Bor League pennant in eight vears and, barring an unexpected upset in the | National League, will face the St. Lous Cardinals in the world series. An 11-to-6 victory over the Detroit Tigers yesterday clinched the 1928 pen- | ‘nant for the world champions of 1927 | and gave little Miller Huggins his | Mirst chance in months to breathe freely. | Base ball's long history reveals few Buch form reversals as characterized | the Yankees' play this season. For | more than two months, Miller's ma- | chine mowed down all opposition re- | lentlessly, gained a 131.-game lead | over the field and caused experts to| view with great alarm this base ball *monster” that devoured all that came | within its reach. But, beset by injurles, particularly t Herb Pennock and Tony Lazzeri, the champions slowed down almost to a | alk. Simultaneously, Connie Mack ap- | yied the spurs to his Philadelphia Ath- | Jetics, who responded with a spurt that finally carried them to the front by half a game on September 8. Yanks Survive Rest Test. Their vaunted supremacy put to a Teal test, the Yankees rallied their | turned to the lead, never again to sur- | render it. True, they have slipped bad- Iy at times on the present Western | trip, but the A's, their morale shat- | tered by_ihat now famous Yankee Sta- clum series, never could take advantage of the opportunities afforded them. To- day they were two and a half games behind with only two games to play. It was a gallant fight Connie Mack made for his first pennant since 1914. but his Athletics were not quite equal | to the tasl In the final analysis, it ‘was the A’s own inability to defeat the Yankees that caused their downfall. In 22 games with the champions, the | Mackmen won only 6. “Murderers' row” performed in all jts power in the pennant-winning game gainst the Tigers. George Pipgras was given a seven-run lead by the time the fifth inning had rolled around and he was not extended to win. Babe Ruth hit his third home run in as many days and his fifty-third of the season in the eighth inning with Koenig on base. | Fighting to the last gasp, the A's wal- Joped the Chicago White Sox, 7 to 5, but the Yankee victory made it impossible for the Mackmen to win even if they take their last two games while the champions lose two. While the Yanks were taking their 4hird pennant in a row, the St. Louis Cardinals virtually clinched the National | League pennant at Boston, where they beat the Braves, 10 to 3, in 15 innings while the runners-up, John McGraw’s New York Giants, were submitting to a 7-to-5 trouncing by the Chicago Cubs. ‘This left the Cardinals leading by two games with only two more games to be | layed. The worst they can get now Q tie, and one victory, or a Giant de- | eat, will give them the pennant without | further argument. Cards Barely Escape Defeat. The Cards just barely escaped de- | feat, scoring one run in the ninth to | tie the sgore. Smith's own wlldness; plus some extensive cracks in his sup- port, finally swung the game to the leaders. In the fifteenth Richbourg made three-base muff of George Harper's long fiy and Smith walked three men in succession, forcing in Harper. Farrell's error, a double | by Andy High, another walk, Bot- tomley's single and a double steal gave the Cards six more runs be- fore Kent Greenfield could stop the “carnage. Flint Rhem, third Cardinal hurler, retired the Braves in order in their half of the fifteenth and the vic- tory was in the Cardinal batbag. Smith allowed only nine hits in the 14! in-| nings he worked, but issued 12 passes. A tired Larry Benton failed John ‘McGraw just when he most reeded a victory. The Cubs pounded Larry for 10 hits and 4 runs in the eight innings he worked, but really made the game safe at the expense of Joe Genewich, who was lashed for 3 runs in the ninth. 'The Giants came back with 2 in their half, but Hal Carlson, relieving Guy Bush, stopped the McGrawmen in their tracks. Jack Russell shaded a recruit, Wes- | lley Farrell, in a hurling duel at Cleve- land. and the Boston Red Sox beat the Indians, 1 to 0. “LITTLE WORLD SERIES” NOW STANDS GAME-ALL| ROCHESTER N.

In the contests with the Browns here today and tomorrow, Manager Stanley Harris expects to send into action the few extras his club has had on th® bench pitching for a few innings before the | Sunday engagement finishes. Although licked yesterday, | Nationals clinched fourth place as the White Sox, who had been contending | for the position, also were trimmed. The day's work left the Harris horde three up on the White Sox with two games to go. |.” The Nationals, after their first bat- | ting turn, never were on better than | even terms with the Browns.

It was Drissell who counted the first tally. 1eceiving a forward pass from Shrider, right halfback and racing 30 yards, Tech's second tally came in the sec- ond quarter, when after City had failed to get away a punt deep in its own ter- ritory, the Washingtonians launched a smashing line drive, which culminated in Goss, fullback, plunging over.

The Nationals tied the game in the | fourth when Joe Judge walked, took | | third as Ossie Bluege singled and got | home as Muddy Ruel drilled into a | double play. | McGowan'’s two bagger, with a pair of sacrifices following, put the Browns | | ahead once more in the sixth, but | | Goslin’s homer in the eighth made the | score 3 all. It was a fumble by Joe Cronin that | paved the way to the decisive tally. It let O'Rourke reach first base at the |outset of the Browns® eighth batting | | turn.

AR WIDE - PLAYS ¥ HIGH AND (% ) ,k BY SOL METZGER. In order to hit, not sweep, a golf ball off a tee, one must take a wide stance. Just notice Hagen's com- pared to Jones' some day and you'll see a difference. Hagen is a hitter wio puts all his power into a blow. His stance is wide. Jones uses a narrow one. His shot is more of a well timed sweep with a punch in at_the contact point. Phil Finlay's stance is also wide. He braces himsell for the effort he is going to make. In yesterday's relrase the fact was brought out that he hit a ball-that is mostly all carry to get distance. Now to hit one high Finlay not only tees it high, but plays it well off his left foot. That means his club’s face will meet the ball as it is coming up after passing the lowest arc of the downswing, because of his wide stance. Naturally, a ball so hit will bore into space for great distances if the power is behind it, To cure a_ habit of slicing you must | first learn the cause.

September | 29 —Two widely different roads leading to the woman's zolf championship of the United States converged today for the | final 36-hole stretch. “"The youthful Virginia Van Wie of Chicago, after a four-day struggle against the most difficult opposition, reached the crossroads with Glenna Collett of Providence, who came through the second bracket in the manner of a steamroller. The coveted crown lay at the end of the still greater test of endurance. { Miss Collett, probably the longest driver among the woman golfers, en- countered for the first time in the tournament an opponent who might force her to the limit from the tees. But it was in another department of | the game that the Chicago star ex- | celled—the long iron to the green. There was little fault to find in the short game of either played. After the first day of the tourna- ment, when she defeated Mrs. Stewart Hanley of Detroit, 7 and 5, Miss Van Wie found the going difficult, and her endurance and fighting heart received a rigid test. It took 19 holes to dis- pose of Edith Quier of Reading, and the full 18 to outdistance Marion Hol- | lins of New York, but most difficult of | all was the great up-hill semi-final bat- tle against Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd of Philadelphia. Mrs. Hurd is rated among her associates as one of the greatest match players in the game. In contrast to these grueling matches Miss Collett is yet to play the last two holes in competition, although toe card turned in by her opponents have fre- quently showed sub-par figures. ‘The long-hitting Providence girl first disposed of Beatrice Gottlieb of New York, 5 and 3; then conquered Mrs. J. S. Disston of Philadelphia, 8 and 7. It was in the third round that she reached her best forim, defeating Vir- ginia Wilson of Chicago, the Canadian champion, 3 and 2. In the semi-finals she was out in even 4s or 6 under par, against Mis. George H. Stetson of Philadelphia, her- sell a former champion, and won 4 and 3, despite the brilliant finish with which Mrs. Stetson won three holes and halved two on the incoming nine Miss Van Wie, who will be 20 in February, had thrice failed to win the crown she sought today, while her op- ponent had been acclaimed champion in 1922 and 1925. MAY GET REAL TESTS By the Assoclated 5. CHICAGO, September 29.—Two in-| attles, designed princi- pally to test the speed and power 0{[ Notre Dame and the University of | Chicago, topped the program as thc- 1928 foot ball season was ushered in on nearly three score gridirons of the Middle West today. Notre Dame had a fighting opnonent" in Loyola University of New Orleans for its opener, while Chicago's varsity was to tackle the fast eleven from the University of South Carolina in the main event of a double-header, which alto included a game between the Maroon Reserves and Ripon College of ‘Wisconsin. While neither of the Southern in- vaders was expected to win, indications were the games would be hard fought. Indiana, which promises to make things interesting for Big Ten cham- pionship contenders this year, also had a double-header on its program, the most important half of which was the traditional contest with Wabash Col- lege. The “seconds” were to clash with Terre Haute State Normal. 'D. C.

Makes Great Comeback. Remarkable endurance, rare fighting mouragp and persistence, plus an effec- tive body attack, enabled Routis to over- come a bad start, wear down the cham- pion and gain the verdict. It was a close fight, decided on a 2- to-1 vote of the judges and referee, but | the crowd of 11.000 as well as ringside experts appearad satisfied that the new champion had fairly won his new honors. The victory, a decided upset to those who had installed Canzoneri a 2-to-1 | favorite at the ringside, sends the title back to France after a five-year lapse and crowns the career of the 25-year- old lad who has fought his way to the top through sheer grit and determina- tion. Routis, orphaned 13 years ago when his father was killed in the war and his mother died from the shock of this tragedy, has been in the professional fight game for the last ten years. He learned to fight while the American forces were still in France and for the last two years had campaigned princi- pally in the United States, making his | debut in a bout with Eddie Anderson at Ebbets Field in August. 1926, and meet- ing all comers in featherweight ranks since then. The young Frenchman. who gains the title that his countryman, Eugene Criqui, held for two months in 1923, is not a spectacular fighter or as polished a ring workman as the dark-haired. stocky rival he succeeds at the top of | the 126-pound class. Routis’ fighting vle is marked | chiefly by a crouching. weaving method, gloves wrapped around his head as he bores in. Canzoneri. whose handlers claimed he injured his right arm in the bout. appeared to have sapped much of his usual endurance by the difficulty of making the feather limit. Tony weigh- .ed 127': at 2 p.m. yesterday, when Routis scaled in at 125!5, but managed to reduce to 125% a few hours later. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.
