RENDERS LEAVE FOR
OHIO TO WIND UP SEASON
Play Six Games With Springfield in
Five DayS-DoubIe Bill
on Today.

Ed Smith took his ball tossers TO
Springfield, O., at 1926 o'clock, Tues
day night. They will not return to
year. but Will close the season with
six games in five days at Spring
field.
After Ed had looked over the
Mishawaka park where he was
scheduled for three games with
Springfield ne decided to transfer the
combats TO Springfield. The ball
park has not proper seating accom-
modations and is too hard for the
fans TO reach 10 be attractive for
large crowds.
The attendance from South Bend
would no doubt have been small.
while the delegation from Mishawa-
ka would scarcely have made up the
guarantee.
Smith said Tuesday that if the
local club had a chance to cop the
flag he would have insisted that the
games be played here but as long
as the locals were out of the race
there was no use in keeping the
club here and losing money as the
guarantee must be met.
Two games will be on the bill with
Springfield for this afternoon. and
after that one dose a day will be the
medicine Springfield has been able
to wallop the locals several times

Grand Rapids win over Muskegon.
while Springfield was idle put the
Michigan men within half a game

On in should nip and tuck.
Before leaving for their homes

will return to South Bend to say
goodbye and pack up their belong

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The Tigers
and the PhlHes have been made
the favorites in the pennant battles

-booIsies-"
The general opinion today SEEM

the Dodgers who led their leagues
for so long have shot their bolt.
And al the same time those folks
feel that the Tigers and the Phillies

inject them into the world series.
The amazing dash Of the Phillies
which carried them in less than a
week from a poor third TO the crest
of the league. has famed into a
fierce flame the hope for another
championship in Quakertown. And,

The Phillies still have % games

end it is hard to figure how the
Braves or Dodgers can nose them

The Braves loom up as the most
formidable foes of Pat Moran's
pets. The Dodgers may come again
in the final drive. but they must
come soon or they will be distanced.
If the Braves steady down quickly
they have a golden opportunity. If
they don't. good night.
The awful slump Of the Red SoX
during the past two weeks has been
one of the surprises of the season.
The reason for the drop, of course,
is apparent when one studies the
recent batting averages Of the Sox.
And so we come 10 the Tigers

The White Sox still have a
chance: a fair one. But they must
show more consistency in play be-
