Spanlng! of Sports The West Evds are wearing the City league baseball crown for the first time, gaining the coveted hon- or by defeating the Pirates Satur- dax’ 'Beth teams were evenly matched and it was no disgrace for the Cor- sairs to end up on the short end of the score. Rlanchard pitched a great game #p the pinches and there lies the tale of the West End victory. “Huggy” Tarisen pitched a flawless game and 3ad the new champions at hisg mer- ¢y throughout the battle. The un- fortunate first inning prevented Carlson from a shut out victery. | Huggy had every thing on the ball and had the West End sluggers helpless. 1t was the first' time this year that Cormier went hitleas, dq This is the second time in three years that the Pirates were beaten in the playoff game for the title. It ever a pitcher was in trouble in a game, Blanchard was Saturday. Only his strong heart and the sensa- tional work of Wojack and Kelly prevented the Pirates from scoring & victory. “Kid" Begley at short for the Pi-. rates coptinued his brilliant fielding and fecelved great applause from the large crowd. Many of the old timers are enthusastic over Begley's playing and expect big things of him in later years. The Pirates, through Coach. Miller and Manager Saunders, wish to ex- terid cengratulations to the new champions. Kensington took the measure of the Rangers in the third game of the series between the two teams yesterday.

MISSING CUT T0 FOUR Tabulation of Rockford, Iil., Torn- ado Disaster Reduced When Three More Bodics are Found. Rockford, Ill., Sept. 17, (#—The list of missing in the Friday torn- ado was cut to four today through the finding of three more bodies in the debris of chair factory “B". The bodies, dug from the wreckage last night, brought the totdl number of tornado dead to 11. Hampered by crowds of curious who took advantage of the Sunday holiday to visit the scenes of the storm destruction, rescue workers nevertheless made appreciable pro- gress, Tractors, stgam shovels and abundant manpower combined to get the bottom of bricks, timbers and tangled steel on those factory properties against which the storm shot its greatest force. The reroofing of hundreds of homes and the repairing of factories that were damaged but not destroy- ed, gave employment to many. Others, out of employment by rea- son of the destruction of factories, found months of work ahead of them in an extensive rebuilding program to which the Chamber of Commerce has put its energles. A meeting has been called to ap- praise the damage which now is con- servatively estimated at $2,000,000. plan is being formulated to aid individuals and factory owners in financing rebuilding. 34 TO OPEN PRO SEASON Chicago, Sept. 17 (UP)—The Chi- cago Cardinals will open the profes- sional football league season at Nor- mal Park Sunday against the Bears.

BRITAIN DAILY HERALD: MONDAY, VICTORY OVER RANGE Paper Geods Town Team Wins Series In City Title Elimination Play With New Britain Club — Vet- eran Joe Fitzpatrick All But Finishes South End- ers—Final Count Is 4 to 3—Woodman of Eastern League and Scott of Stanley Works Engage In a Pitching Duel. A three run rally in the last half of the eighth inning after the Rang- ers had taken a formidable lead the first half of the session gave the Kensington A. C. a sensational win over the Rangers in the decid- ing gume of the city elimination series played at the Percival ave- nue grounds yesterday afternoon. A large crowd was treated to one of the greatest tinishes ever seen on the Kensington lot. The final count was ¢ to 3, both teams netting three runs each in the eighth, 1t was the war club of the vet- eran Joe Fitzpatrick that all but finished the Kepsington crew. It was his smashing doupl. into deep left field that sent in the Rangers’ first tally and completely upset the Kensington hurler who until that time had been pitohing almost per- fect baseball. M.

M. Both- pitchers were in great form yesterday. Anderson, who was toss- ing them up for Patsy Buckley" crew was none other than “Coke” Woodman of Eastern league fame. He was opposed by Jack Beott, the rangy Stanley Works tosser. For seven innings, these two en- gaged in one of the prettiest pitch- ing duels seen this season, the only run coming in as a result of a Ranger misplay. In the eighth, both pifchers weakened and it was anybody’s ball game but the South- enders had a little in reserve and their one run margin gained in the early innings was enough to clinch the serles. *“Anderson” allowed but six hits and fanned I1 batters.

Scientists Hear of Prehistoric Times on American Continent New York, Sept. 17 (P—Two pre- | historic civilizations existed in th western hemisphere and were not di- | rectly connected with each other, the | international congress of American- | Ists was told today. i 2 Meets For Week The congress is mecting here fo ra week, attended b; delegates from a score of foreign nations. to discuss the origins of American inhabitants. | and compare notes on evidences that | they migrated from the old world thousands of years ago. The cultural relations of North | and South America were traced | through archeological remains by Professor A. L. Kroeber of the U versity of California. The two civ rations, he said. were in “Mexico- Guatemala” and in Peru. In the in- tervening regions he found evidences of a civilization common to both | areas, and said. | “The inference is that the cul-| tural peaks of Mexico and Peru are on the whole not specifically in- terconnected but are localized de- |velopments, out of a common cul- tural sofl, due to unusual density of population, or possibly broader po- | litical organizations.” | Professor Kroeber said that “al- | leged conceivable connection with | the eastern hemisphere” does not explain what is now known of these two civilizations.
