START Bic CLASH
Indians and Yanks to End
American Struggle.
Never in Ball History Has Flag
Race Been So Long.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Gotham was
agog with excitement as Iris Speaker
prepared to lead his worlds champion
Indians against the Yanks in the first
of a four-g game series that is expected
to decide the American League pen
nant, and not without reason.
Never before in the history of
either major league has there been a
championship race of such long sus-
tained competition between two clubs
For two months the Yanks and In
dams have slammed each other about
in the fight for the lead. First one
then the other has been on top and
today they are practically tied with a
percentage of one point and a frac-
ton separating first and second
places. The hike over the long trail
from April has brought them down to
this standing:
Won. Lost. Pct
1 1Sew aoFk '.....'-'-.'.-. 81 81 .SSd9
cleveland --.-...-.-...... 81 81 $500
The battle for the pennant will rage
for four days. It amounts to a little
worlds series. New York has never
before had such bright prospects of
supporting an American league cham
pionship and the fans have fallen over
each other for the battle for reserved
| seats. Every reserved seat and every
box has been sold for all four games.
Traffic policemen were called into
service in front of the Yankee offices
in Forty-secOnd street while the sale
was going on and it is conservatively
| estimated that the attendance during
the series will be close to las, 900.
Having lost one game less than
| Cleveland, the Yanks occupied a
Slightly better strategic position as the
series got under way, particularly If
the four games should end in an even
break.
The Indians, minus the service of

in Mondays game
While the Yanks and Cleveland
are having it out here, the Giants will
attempt to clinch the National League
pennant at the expense Of the st
Louis Cards.

/ game lead over Pittsburgh and the
hopes of the Pirates, who must win al

| York If the Giants win three out OF
| seven, have been blown to srr1fther-

| 1t is only a question of time now

nant. In short. it will be clinched as
| soon as they win three games or the
Pirates lose two more.

TO ISSUE CREDITS PROMPTLY
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Urges Schools to Act

Slruct1On Urges SCHOOLS 10 ACT
Because of complaints that persons
desiring to teach this year have been
unable to get their school credits
which will entitIe them to teachers
certificates, Miss Lorraine E. Wooster,
state superintendent of public in
struction. has addressed letter to all
state schools and private colleges,
urging them to issue credits promptly.
Citing two cases last year in which
teachers who were hired on condition
that they produce certificates and
were later discharged because of de-
lay in receiving certificates, Miss
Wooster states:
Schools taking more than thirty
days in which to make up credits and
send them to the persons who have
earned them are placing themselves
liable at law for any loss caused the
persons who are entitled to these
credits.
II urge that the schools give this
matter their serious attention and sec
to it that every credit goes forth i'm
mediately that is due persons who
have taken work in the institution
this past school year or during the
summer months"
