But New York has two more games and Pittsburgh four more to play than Brooklyn: if either the Giants or Pirates sustain a winning streak in their final contests, the tase of Brooklyn ‘would be hopeless, even though Robinson’s men captur- ed their four to be played. The Capital City of the nation pre- pares for its anticipated opportunity to become the capital city of base- ball as the Senators continue to maintain their two-game lead over the once kingly champions of the world, now hobbling home on aged legs—a victim of the jungle. Both aspirant$ in the American won yesterday—New York whipping the Indiaps 10 to 4 and Washington beating Chicago 8 to 3, but the Yankees face the heartless task of gaining two games on the Senators with only six to play.

The team was con- tent to remain on the defense, in fact, not a single first down was made while Grange was out of the lineup. In the Butler game, with Grange on the sidelines, the visitors were making ‘the going pretty strenuous for the Tllini when Coach Zuppke hustled his star into the fray and in“a short time Red had counted two touchdowns, the margin by which Illinois won—321 to 7.

JAPS PLAN FLIGHTS Peri-Globular Flight Among Those to Be Tried By Nippon; to Hop Straight Across Pacific. By The Associated Press. Tokio, Sept. 23.—The Tmperial Aviation society has announced plans for flights by Japanese avia- tors across the Pacific ocean, "and from Japan.to London, and possiblyw around the world, for next ‘year. Yakitsuna Sanada, now residing at Oakland, California, will attempt the flight from the Pacific coast of North America via Hawaii and Midway Isiand to Japan in May, 1925, according to the soclety. The flight from Tokio to L.ondon, which will be made via India and may be extended to anaround-the- world trip,. will start in the spring. The cost of the flights, estimated at half a million yen, will be ‘raised by public subscription. The party will ‘include the ahlest army and civilian fliers, who will be supplied with specially constructed machines. One of the.big reasons for the failure of the Detroit club to make a better showing this year isdue to the batting slump experienced by Harry Heilmann, champion swatter of 1923, ‘Hellmann all season has | been about 50 points oft form and | has had the ‘habit of ‘hitting into double plays when a base hit meant { the ball game. ~ BRIGGS TN ree JusT PUT A SCARE Te You
