SPORTS. YANKS AREHOSTS | ATFIRST BATTLES Pennant for Giants Would Mean Record Gate—Radio Brings $100,000. BY SID FEDER. EW YORK, September 12.—The National League pennant win- ner—whether it's the Giants, ardinals or Cubs—will be host to the New York Yankees and the first two games of the 1936 world series, September 30 and October 1. Contending club owners decided tnat, among other essential details, av & meeting today with Base Ball Com- missioner K. M. Landis to make ar- rangements for what likely will be a financial record-breaker, if, as now appears likely, the New York Giants qualify to meet the Yankees in the first “subway series” since 1923. Such is the combined seating capa- eity of the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium, the American League’s big- gest park, that five games on a sell- out basis would result in a new rec- ord for receipts, with the $100,000 for radio rights taken into account. The all-time series “high” of $1,207,864 was set in a seven-game series be- tween the Yankees and Cardinals in 1926. Ford Buys Radio Rights. THE third, fourth and fifth games will be at Yankee Stadium, home of the American League champions. The sixth and seventh, if necessary, will be played under National League auspices. ‘With an all-New York series in pros- pect, the specific dates for the title set would be, September 30 and Oc- tober 1, at the Polo Grounds; October 2, 3 and 4 at Yankee Stadium, and October 5 and 6 at the Polo Grounds, also if needed. However, should the Cardinals or Cubs come through in the National League, & day off for traveling would be necessary between the changes of locale. Exclusive broadcast rights have been purchased for $100,000 by the Ford Motor Co. for the third straight yur. Commissioner Landis announced. He also received figures from the New York clubs showing a total seat- ing capacity of 63300 for Yankee Stadium and 47,000 for the Polo Grounds. Bleecher Seats Go at $1.10. Wrm-x tickets ranging from $1.10 for bleachers, including tax, to $6.60 for box seats, total daily re- ceipts would approximate $250,000 at the Yankee Stadium games and $215,- 000 at the Polo Grounds. Thus, with the $100,000 from radio rights, sell- outs for only four games would put the total receipts over the million mark. At the Yankee Stadium 17,500 tick- ets will go at the bleacher price and 11,000 at $3.30 for unreserved grand- stand. There are 4,000 bleacher seats and 14,700 in unreserved grandstand sections at the National League Park. The reserved seats, which include $5.50 for grandstand, as well as $6.60 for the boxes, will be sold only in three-game strips, as formerly. Un- der this condition the National League club will sell strips of three tickets for games one, two and six, and the Yankees for the third, fourth and fifth clashes. There are 28,700 re- served seats at the Polo Grounds, $4,800 at the Yankee Stadium. Players Get Radio Dough. ‘HE $100,000 broadcasting receipts will be pro-rated among players, contending clubs, leagues and the commissioner’s office on the custom- ary percentage basis. The players’ cut would amount to $59,500 for a four- game series. Although the Pittsburgh Pirates— who still have a chance in a thou- sand to come through—were repre- sented at the meeting with Landis to- dsy, as well as the Cards and Cubs, the Giants outnumbered all three in representation, with President Horace Stoneham, Secretary Eddie Brannick and Treasurer Leo Bondy on hand. Ed Barrow, eyecutive secretary, and an assistant, Charles McManus, rep- resented the Yankees. For the Car- dinals, Secretary Clarence Lloyd was present; Secretary Robert Lewis and Charles Weber spoke for the Cubs, and President William Benswanger was the Pirates’ delegate. — MARGARET 0SBORNE GIRLS’ NET CHAMPION THE SUNDAY £TAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SEPTEMBER 13, 1936—PART ONE. SPORTS. B—7 World Series Opens September 30 : Ohio State Picked as Grid’s Best Olympic Track Star Proves Center of Interest at Meet Here compared to the Missouri girl. BY BURTON HAWKINS. N THE comparative privacy of 500 spectators, Helen Stephens, 160 pounds of husky, muscular Mis- souri farm girl, effectively dem- onstrated the style of picking ’em up and putting ‘em down that carried her to Olympic fame as she literally scorched the cinders of Central Stadium yesterday to win an exhibi- tion 220-yard dash in 25 seconds to provide the feature of the third annual governmental track meet. Agriculture, paced by Arnold Pre- heim, former national decathlon champion who garnered 23!2 points to capture individual high point scor- ing honors, successfully defended its championship, tallying 89'2 points, as eight new records were established. Bureau of Investigation, with 34 points, placed second, while General Accounting Office finished in the show position with 213 points. Granting Catherine Shea of Agri- culture and Ora Ward of Investiga- tion handicaps of approximately 60 yards, Miss Stephens broke slowly from tke pit, but picked up speed on the turn to overcome her competitors in the stretch, leading Miss Shea to the tape by a full 10 yards. Doesn’t Try for Record. IN SHOWING her accelerated heels to the slim crowd, the 18-year-old manish speedster obviously was not trying to crack the 220-yard world record she established at Toronto last week, when she covered the distance in 23:01 seconds. She did shatter tha previous mark of 25:01 seconds, set by Elizabeth Robinson of Wisconsin in 1931, however. Mildred (Babe) Didrikson, sensa- tion of the 1932 Olympics when she smashed three world and two Olympic records, greeted Miss Stephens prior to the race and calmly draped her arm around J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, when photographers asked her to pose with the famous G-man. In her usual frank manner, Miss Didrikson declared she could give Miss Stephens a handicap of 10 yards and beat her by 12 yards in a 220- yard race. She was unimpressed by the girl who holds every woman's sprint record from 50 yards to 100 meters. Pressed to Beat Eleanor Dawson, Fellow Californian, in Tilt at Philadelphia. Bv tne Associated Press. PH!LAD!L.PH’!A. September 12.— Margaret Osborne, 18, of San Fran- cisco, survived the test of a champion today to win the National girls’ tennis champlonship from Eleanor Dawson of Piedmont, Calif., 6—8, 10—8, 6—2. The test came in the second set when Miss Dawson, leading 5 to 4 in games, held match point at 40—30. Miss Osborne played steadily under pressure, however, while Miss Dawson knocked a forehand smash into the net for deuce, then double-faulted to lose the game. It was the turning point of the match, for the San Francisco girl went ahead to tie in sets at one each, then won the third and deciding set in comparatively easy fashion. Preheim, Tom McNally, captain of the 1933 Holy Cross track team, and Roger Leverton, versatile University of Richmond four-letter athlete two years ago, completely dominated the meet. Preheim Has Busy Day. ‘HE sturdy, well-proportioned Pre- heim, who gained national honors lege in South Dakots, captured first put events, tied for first in the pole vault and took third in the 100-yard dash and high jump.

BROWNS PLAY LIKE TITLE CONTENDERS Thomas, Knott and Caldwell Hurl Seventh-Place Holders to Twin Win Over Red Sox. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, September 12.—Playing like pennant contenders instead of a seventh-place club, the Browns won both games of a double-header from the Boston Red Sox today, tak- ing the opener, 6 to 4, an dthe sec- ond, 3 to -2, in 10 innings. The St. Louis pitchers were in form both games. Al Thomas and Jack Knott collaborated to give the Browns the decision in the early contest and Earl Caldwell won the nightcap by himself. The Browns beat their ex-team- mate, Mike Meola, in the second game. Mike pitched a creditable game, however, and after the first inning did not allow & run until the tenth. CIlift, who had raced from first to third on a hit by Solters, went in for the winning run on a single by Bell. Clift hit his nineteenth home run of the season in the opener. = *0 > OO Onomsoommn?

A sad brief could be written on each. Miracles sometimes do happen with green and shaky squads, and it is even true that new coaches have been known to deliver in their first year. However, heavy losses through graduation, relatively weak schedules, schedules against too many of the leaders who are almost bound to win, coaching changes, and such factors, singly or in combination, should spell disaster for many of the leaders of last year and previous years. Some of the smaller teams particu- larly worth watching in 1936 will be: St. Mary’s (Texas), Loyola of the South; Randolph-Macon, Idaho Uni- versity, College of the Pacific, Univer- sity of Akron, Trinity c«ollege (Con- necticut), American U.
