By the Associated Press. A squadron of traffic police is needed along the road to the Na- tional league pennant. So far, all the efforts of the teams from Chi- cago, St. Louis, Brooklyn and New York to get to the championship only have resulted in one of the greatest jams that highway has ever seen. Yesterday's contests brought the Brooklyn Robins and St. Louis Car- dinals a game closer to Chicago's league leading Cubs. The New York Giants in fourth place remained only three games behind the top. ‘With Adolfo Luque shutting out the National league champions with five | hits, the Robins made it two straight over the Cubs by a 6 to 0 count. St. Louis retained its one-point grip on second place as Jim Bottomley's eighth inning home run gave tha Cards a 5 to 3 victory over the Giants. The standing: w. Chicago .. 80 St. Louis.. 78 1- Brooklyn.. 79 60 11- New York 77 61 .558 3 The Robins ran out of their du out yesterday to greet Charley Root, and promptly started running around the bases. Five men facei Root and all of them hit. Then Jess Petty came to the rescue and allowed one more blow, which brought Brooklyn's. first inning to- L. Pect 58 .580 59 G.B. ToP. 16 17 16 tal up to five runs before he cast a| spell over the Robins that lasted until he left the game in the eighth inning. Then they scored their sixth run off Lynn Nelson in that frame. The Giants and Cardinals started out for a second 1itchers battle with Fred Fitzsimmons, opposed to Syl- vester Johnson. The Giants forgel ahead slowly, getting one run in the first, which St. Louis equalled in th: third, -and two more in the sixta when Frank Hogan clouted a home run with one mate on base. But the eighth inning evercame all their labor. High's single and Adams' double accounted for one tally. Thea Frisch hit and Bottomley smacked the ball against the upper deck of the stand for a home run and ths ball game. Tom Zachary's four hit pitching and Wally Berger's 34th home run gave the Boston Braves a 5 to 0 tritmph over the Pittsburgh Pirates, while steady and timely hitting by the Phillies enabled them to defeat Cincinnatj in the . fourth National| league ‘clash. ‘Washington again failed to take advantage of an opportunity to tighten up the American league pennant 'chase when they lost to St. Louis 3 to 2, although Alvin Crowder gave only four hits. Wash- ington remained 6 1-2 games behind the Philadelphia Athletics, who were not successful with their four blows oft Vic' Sofrell. They failed to score whils the Detroit Tigers bunched a good part of their five hits off Shores and Wal- befg for four runs in the fourth inning and won by that margin. A home run with two aboard by Re- cruit Frank Doljack, furnished most of the scoring. Danny MacFayden of Boston was not far behind in the day’s hurling feats as he gave the Chicago White Sox only six hits while the Red Sox hammered out a 6 to 2 victory. Hen-' ry Johnson of New York had the honor of outpitching Wesley Ferrell, Cleveland's young ace to give the Yankees their second straight tri- umph over the Indians, 7 to 2, and to enable them to hold their mathe- matical chance of capturing the flag.

Polo Team Defeats British Tnvaders, 14 t0 9 New York, Sept. 11-(UP)=An- other great international polo series has gone into the records, the West- chester cup has been filled to the brim and passed around to eight gallant sportsmen, and now the trophy is back on the shelf at ‘Westbury. The latest British challenge for the famous cup was beaten off be- fore 40,000 cheering spectators at Meadow Brook yvesterday, where the new American “big four” won the deciding game, 14 to 9. It was royal sport, while it last- ed, and for a time it seemed as though British ambitions to carry away the trophy might be nearing success. The challengers put up a far stiffer battle than in the first game of the series, but they didn't quite have the stuff to see it through. Paticularly, they lacked the ponies, and when the Americans rode their famous first string mounts it was a one-sided affair. as polo games sometimes become | when Tommy Hitchcock rides. The 6thers, Eric Pedley, Earle Hopping and Winston Guest played magnifi-| cently, and rather their famous captain by lheirjpec»‘ tacular efforts. Tommy, of course, | was always on the ball, always obvi- | ously the greatest plaver on fhe‘ field, but content to feed the ball to his forwards and ride off opposi- | tion while ey scored. Pedley Scores Heavily Pedley, first Californian to ride for the United States against Eng- | land, distinguished himself particu- larly in yesterday's game, especially | in the ‘closing chukkers when .the game was on. The American No. 1, spear-head of the swift attack which rolled over the British de- fenses in an irresistible wave, shot goal after godl in the last three| periods. o ‘With Captain “Pat” Roark riding like a demon, the inspiration of a| gallant last-ditch stand in which | Lewis Lacey, Gerald Balding and Humphrey Guinness played their parts, the blue-shirted challengers strove desperately for this second game. The British have not won a single game of the eight played in international series since 1914, and they wanted this one and gave everything they had, in vain. The riding was spectacular; reckless at times. One British pony broke a leg and had to be dispatched. Win- ston Guest and his pony were hurl- ed to the turf in a savage charge. It was hard, but fair playing, and it got the British out in front at the start and again at the start of the sixth chukker. But that was the one big chukker for America, and when it was over so were Great Britain’s hopes of victory. ROCHESTER 0UT FRONT BY COMFORTABLE LEAD Redwings Appear to Be Victors in International League Race for 1930. By the Aasociated Press. Rochester's seven and one-half game lead in the International League apparently is enough to as- sure the Redwings their third con- sccutive pennant but the Baltimore Orioles and Montreal Royals are fighting on. The Redwings and Orioles lost vesterday but the Royals came through with a victory to remain in the race. To tie for the pennant, however, Montreal would have to win all of its ten remaining games while the Redwings were dropping the eleven remaining on their sched- ule. The Orioles have twelve games to play. After winning nine straight, the defending champions finally had their string snapped yesterday by Bugalo. 8 to 6 in ten innings.

When you saw among the 18 lost Russ Saunders,’who went through a whole Notre Dame team at Chicago last fall to score a touchdown, you may have been prostrated by grief. But weep no more. Coach Jones begs to report that he not only has 18 to take the places of those who were lost by the accident of gradua- tion, who can be depended upon in almost any kind of a pinch, P According to Coach Jones’ way with a football team, the quarter- back is the triple. threat star and chief ball carrier.

Keg “that reason, the Herald sports depart- ment has decided to name an all- star team picked from the combina- tions entered in the Industrial League. ) The Herald selections are as'fol- lows: Noonan, Stanley: Rule & Level, catch; Spencer, Stanley Rule Jagloski, P. & F. .Corbin and “Lefty” Haber, Fafnir, pitch; Bates, Corbins, first base; Lipka, Corbins, second base; Darrow, Stanley Rule, shortstop; “Starhead” Budnick. New. Britain Machine, third base; O’Brien, Fafnir, left field; Charlow, Landers, center fleld and® Mickey Huber, Corbins, right field. Now come the reasons for these selections and it might be well to say right here that we expect as these selections as there have been fans to watch the games. Noonan, as a catcher, we believe, is in a class by himself in this city. There are other good backsteps, other good catchers, but there is only one Noonan. In the first place, he can catch any pitcher, fast ball or slow ball. He knows how to work a pitcher and .instills a world of confidence in his battery mate. He has a perfect thtowing arm and stolen bases on him are a scarcity while he is strong at bat, a consi tent workers and he Has class. “In the pitching department, we believe that Spencer, Stanley, Rule Ace, is at the head 6f the list. Starting late in the jseason, he made the Stanley Rule.a powerful team and brought it to the runner-up po- sition. He is a fast ball pitcher with a sharp curve and hé has nice con- trol. Jagloskt, mnnsm‘ of the cham- pion Corbin team, ™s our second choice. He is consistently”good, a fine curve ball pitcher and’ al- thought he met his bumps, he pull- ed his team through a tough sea- son in excellent shape. “Lefty” Haber would be our choice for the third member of the pitching staff. It is seldom ‘that one man converts a poor team into a good one but Haber must be given credit in a great sense for the rapid rise of the Fafnir team to third place in the league. ‘We have selected Bates as our first baseman because we consider him a very good fielder, a fairly good batter and an excellent direc- tor of a team's play. It was his strategy, his persistence during the past few years that finally brought the Corbin team home the cham- pion. Joe Lipka of the Corbin team has been selected as the second base- man. .Although he wasn't 20 impres- sive at the start of the year as he was during the closing days of the campaign, he proved to be invalua- ble in the race for the pennant. He is a good all around fielder, has plenty of baseball brains and he was hitting the ball consistently towards | the end of the season. Billy Darrow of the Stanley Rule team is our first choice for short- stop. We believe that he outstrips all other shortstops in. the league in baseball ability. He covers his posi- tion very well and is a dangerous man for any pitcher while he is at bat. He also has class. “Starhead” Budnick, in our opin- ion, leads the third basemen. He led /OUR BOARDING HOUSE [ CANNIBALS ! «« T ALWAYS CARRIED A POCKETFUL OF FLASHLIGHT POWDER COME HERE MASOR ! o “THIS .

Going into the outfield: it proved rather difficnit to sclect a left field- er. After due deliberation and study ot the accompljshments of the vari- ous left gardeners in the league, we settled oy Jim O'Brien of Fafnirs as our choice for this position. Jim's only weaknees is at the bat. Other- wise he is In the lead in every other department. He has' the grace and speed of a deer in covering fly balls, fields grounders cleanly and quick- ly and he has a deadly arm that kept all base runners’ from trying to take any chances when the ball was hit into his territory. “Chick” Charlow of Landers was the outstanding performer in center field although his selection was made after due deliberation. He is fast, brainy, possesses a good arm and is a good batter in any league, We had no hesitancy in naming Mickey Huber as the right fielder on the team. This position usually finds the poorest players on the teams situated there. No so with the Corbin tea. Huber compares favor- ably in the field and at bat with the other fielders on his teagn and 18 far ahead of the other regulay right fielders. These selections are offered only for what they are worth and we would be glad to hear from others regarding the difference of opinion on any position on the team. SINGER-HLARNIN BOUT, EXCITES BOXING WORLD Irishman Is 7 to 5 Favorite Over Jewish Boxer in 10 Bgund Match Tonight. New York, Sept. 11 (R — With nothing but his reputation at stake, Al Singer, youthful king of ths lightweights, takes on Jimmy Mc- Larnin, a tough two-fisted Irish wel. terweight, in a ten round bout at Yankee stadium tonight. Despite the fact that McLarnin will outweigh the young Jewish title holder by six pounds, the betting marts refused to offer better than 7 to 5 on the 23 year old Vancouver, B. C., slugger, who has knocked out such top notchers as Jackie Fields, Sammy Baker, Ruby Goldstein, Louis Kid Kaplan and Sid Terris. Singer sought the bout and will have no alibis it he is laid low or is out- pointed. McLarnin has campaigned in every division from the fiyweights to the welters at one time or the other, conquering a half dozen champions either before or after they won their tities, but never at weight. For his size and inches, Jimmy is just about the best two-fisted hitter in the game today.
