By the Assoclated Press. | There's not much to choose be-| tween the two major league pennant | races, but the fact remains that most | of the drama is being enacted in the American league. The St. Louis Cardinals have made the National league battle more or less of a cut-and-dried proposition by the simple process of matching anything their closest competitors may or may net achieve. If the New York Giants lose the Cardinals man- age to do the same thing. If they win, Bill McKechnie's boys sce to it that John McGraw doesn’t profit in the standings thereby. But in the American league, Miller | ¢ champion New York have given their supporters more alternate moments of ecstati joy and dismal gloom than is for the constitution, even of a I er-lunged Bronx fan. T'rom good to bad and back again | Yankee fortuncs have gone th year. The Bronx was in deep mourn- ing today for the Yankees, losing a 12 inning battle to the Chica White Sox yesterday, saw the Phil- adelphia Athletics creep to Within one game of the lead again.

What ad- vantage there was went to McKech nle for he got rid of two more games from his schedule without losing any ground to his chiet rival. Pitchers got none of the glory at the Polo Grounds.

La Benton was the victim of two Harper's drives and retired in the elghth with his eighth defeat of the season as company. Just to show he ‘was playing no favorites Harper hit another home run off Jack Scott in the eighth, just after Chick Hafey had sailed one into the right field bleachers, Most the damage the Glants did to Wee Willie Sherdel was the result of two more homi runs—one by Andy Cohen and th other by Frank Hogan. !

H,, Sept. 21 UP—Un- less all signs fail, Dartmouth will have two varsity football teams of almost equal strength this fall to carry the Big Green through the most difficult schedule in history. For the past three weeks, Jesse Hawley, the Green's head coach, has been devoting most of his attention 1o two scparate elevens. Though he has declined to reveal his reasons, his actions have indicated that these two teams would play as units in the six major games on the Green's list. Both have been assembled and to- day Dartmouth has probably the eust. Hawley put his 72 varsity play- ers through a long hard workout and then ordered a brisk serimmage yesterday when the first practice of the regular college year was held. He has the finest material to work with since 1925, when he turned out the eastern championship team. He has at least two of everything needed to make a winning team. Despite the fact that the first game with Norwich is still a week away, he has four organized teams rearing to go at a time when most of Dartmouth's opponents have barely started work. The first Hawley lined varsity team, which up for yesterday's was expected to open the campaign against Norwich, pro- vided no accidents occurred. The ¢d of Captain Dick 3lack of Dekin, 1, as tullback; Fred Breithut of Newark, N. J, as vight half; Al ers of Arlington, Muss., named by the Associated Press last year for All-America honors, left half; and Bob Harris of Chicago, quarterback. The line was equally strong and as made up of “Heinie” Swarth- out of Rochester, N. Y., and Hal Booma of Swampscott, Mass., ends; “Cowboy” Cole of Oklahoma, and \glewood, N.

I, guards; and Hal Andres, Newton, Mass his team has been playing to- gether for the past two wecks and | during that time, Hawley has been using 11 other men as a unit, giv- ing Dartmouth two equally strong varsity teams. This second group included Nor- Bankhart and 1Ed Stoke o O'Connor and “R ackles; Bromberg and Bur- guards; Adams, center; ommy lLongnecker, quartel Jere- miah and Re halfbacks; and Bob Lee. fullback, Hawley, sinc practice first started, has never iden- tified either squad as his first var- sity outfit, He has, however, pointed out oth- clevens which he called s “third” and “fourth” teams. When usked it he intended to adopt| Knut Iockne’s two team plan, Haw- ley’s omly answer was “As far as I am concerned, Dartmouth needs three strong teams, not two, to su cessfully complete its difficult sched- ule.” During the th > weeks, the | Dartmouth players have been given an intensive forward passing train-| ing, indicating that Hawley inte 417; e¢d to use his aerlat attack, consid- | r ered by many football erts to be ! 1o t in the east, again this sea- |y » hest Kickers in the squad, Black and Tommy lLong- who has been converted a half back into a 1 call- use of his light weight, have special attention, and, as | all have been booting the | ball from 45 to 55 vards.

No more bitter diamond rivals than these two have ever been de- veloped in this city and every inch of the way will be fought out as the teams cross bats. Kensington hound- ed the Falcons into playing the ser- fes and the south end team will have to make good all its boasts if it is to retain the confidence of the baseball public. Along the street the outcome of the first game is about as uncertain as the election of Smith or Hoover. Some favor the Falcons while others can sce nothing but Kensington. Comparing the teams can bring no other thought than that the both teams are about as evenly matched | as any two suh combinations could be. With both teams equipped with | excellent pitching staffs, neither has an edge in this respect. Kensing- ton has “Coke” Woodman of the Hartford Eastern League team and Scriminger who beat Taftville re- cently while the Falcons have “Lefty” Atwood, former KFastern Leaguer and Nichols, another league | star, If the serles of past years is tq be taken as any criterion, the Ken- sington tewm should be given the edge over the Falcons for no other reason than the “Indian Sign"” which the south enders have always | geemed to hold over the local aggre- gation. Time and time again the Talcons have been on the thresh- hold of « city championship only to | have their hopes dashed by the wild woolly crew from Kensington. Through an oversight in the pub- lication of the roster of the teams, the name of Paul Snyder was left out of the Kensington list. He has been a regular member of the team all season and will most certainly play in the coming series. The coatest Sunday will promptly at 3 o'clock. start REPORT TO COACH Princeton, N.

"he team was putl through signal deill under the supervision of Coach Gratton O'Connell - last night and the workout was impressive.- With every practice, Buckley shows more and more speed. Great things are expected of the Meriden boy who starred for four consecu- tive years at KFordham University. Blekley kicks hard, he runs Uike & flash and he has stamina enough to buck the toughest line for gains. He will be used either at quarter or halfback. Evidently the starting team on next Sunday will find O'Connell :.=.d “Unk" Conley at the ends. Wer- wais and Conklin, the two giants of the team will be at the tackles while the twa 200 pound babies of the line, “Jumbo” Gnasdow sod Tom Humphreys, will take he place at guard.
