of Sports 8 There were no developments in the fight for first place in the Amer- fcan league yesterday as neither Washington nor New York was scheduled to play, Brooklyn clinch- ed second place in the Natlonal league by winning from Boston § :o 1, an the Pirates lost to Chicago, to 2. ‘The Giants, with their fourth pens “nant safe, played many recruits nst Philadelphia and lost 11 to Washington and New York re- sume their battle today. The Sgna- tors, assured of a tie, need onl win ond game of their remaining two from Boston even though the Yankees take their two from Phila- delphia, to win the pennant. The Giant management announc- ed that applications for tickets for the lower stands for the third, fourth and fifth games of the world series would now be accepted with certified checks or money orders for $16.50, Admission to the upper nd and bleachers will be sold only on the day of each game at the park, The price for the upper stands will kc $3.30 and for the bleachers, $1.10. For the first time in nine years rain yesterday prevented an-Ameri- can league Sunday baseball game in Cleveland, the final game of the season between the Cleveland and St. Louis clubs being cancelled. It was the second time in four- teen years that a Sunday game has been called. off, and during this period not a holiday was lost on the home ground. Although rain fell often on these occasions, it also cleared up sufficiently to permit play, a iarge tarpaulin spread over the infleld leaving it dry. Many of the Indians and Browns prepared to leave immediately for their homes while others got ready to engage in barnstorming trips. 1t was quité. a novelty yesterday for Berg to be pitching against the Corbin Red Sox, his former team- mates. A peculiar feature of the game was {n the seventh inning, Hein pitched but four balls. The first was a strike. The next was hit to Patrous at second for an assist to first. The next batter hit the first ball*to the same place and ditto the third batter. ?\lanager Tobin now has called it a season and plans to recuperate from the rigors of the past few months by jaking in the world series at New York. Stromquist looked awfully good in the High school backfield Saturday. That boy sheuld make his mark on the team this fall. Brooklyn s definitely located in gecond place in the National league.

SEASON WITH WIN| AUTOISTS MARKED Sometimes They Give Rise o Serious Suspicions (By Billy Evans) Major league magnates like close pennant races. They make for 'money. The two big leagues are ‘experlencln' them this year. There 1s a poulhmty that both races will g0 to the fimdl game before the winner {8 determined. However, there is another angle that makes such races detrimental rather than helpful to the game. In every pennant race ' where there are two contenders, a certain team and manager usually stand out as being more popular than the rest of the field, While fandom may be pulling for favorite team to go over. This, of course, i8 unfalr to the player, but the ever suspicious look on the happening in that light, Working wtih the leading con- have qbaervnd several happenings | that might have created gossip had they come up othen than they did. In the final series between New York and Detroit, the latter team won the first two games of the se- ries on fluke plays. The loss of these two games was a terrific set- back to the hopes of the Yankees. Had New York won the games on such plays, the ever suspicious could have pointed the finger of scorn at the happening. In the first, game, Joe Dugan, who seldom makes a bad throw, made a three-base heave on an in- fleld tap by Ty Cohb, permitting the Detroit manager to pull up at third It came in the ninth inning with the score a tie. Cobb later scored the winning run. In the second game, Bob Shaw- key, usually very reliable, made a wild -pitch in {he ninth with the bases filled that permitted Manush to cross the plate with the winning run. Since the pennant contender was defeated by loose play the incident passes unnoticed. Had New York won both pames in a similar manner, some of the wiseacres would be calling the vie- tories gifts, pure and simple. I have brought up the decisive play in these two very important games as a defense of the honesty of the game. It is possible that Dugan's poor throw on Cobb and Shawkey's wild pitch may cost each member of the Yankees an extra $6,000, ths amount pulled down by the world series win- ners last year.

A oy Hate Police Check Up on Crossing Driving —— Hartford, Sept. 29.—The names of nearly 1,000 Connecticut motor vehicle operators have been reported to the state motor vehicle depart- ment within the past year, for ap- proaching highway grade crossings at speeds which, in the opinion of observers, would have prevented stopping before foullng the tracks it trains were approaching er *stop slgnais displayed. In every instance, Investigation of the facts and cir- cumstances has been made by the department and the proper record bearing on the driving qualifications of the operator involved, entered in his file at the department, In an effort to reduce the num- ber of grade crossing accidents, the department has, for some time, had a cooperatve arrangement with the New York, New Haven & Hartford rallroad company, under which crossing watchmen, or uniformed patrolmen assigned to the work where crossing watchmen are not regularly engaged, make dally re- ports of what they consider to be dangerous driving over highway grade crossings. These dally re- ports are collected by the railroad company's supervisosr of safety and examination, and forwarded to the motor vehicle department on gtock forms, as follows: “KFor your information, Mr, Peter Blank, erossing watchman, réports that at 11:30 a. m., September 28, 1924, automobile bearing Conneeti- cut license No. 100,000, appreached highway grade crossing known as Broadway, at.North Haven, Conn., at a speed which would prevent stopping before fouling track if train were approaching or stop signal dis- layed.” The procedure of the department is to communicate with the person in whose name the car is registered, notifying him or her of the com- plaint, and requesting the name of the driver of the car at the time mentioned in the complaint, and an explanation of the incident from the driver. Unless the department i8 satisfled after investigation that a mistake has been made in the com- plaint, an entry listing it as an act of bad driving is made in the opera- tor's for future reference in case his qualifications to drive are called in question.
