RUB GAME TODAY
Result May Settle American
League Championship.
Yanks and Browns Ready To
Decide Short Series.

ST. Louis, Mo, Sept. 1S.-The 1922
championship of the American league
hinged in a large measure upon the
outcome of the third and final contest
OF nerve-racking crucial three-game
series between the New York Yankees
and the st. Loui- Browns here today.
Both teams were equally confident

If New York should win today's
contest, the visitors would increase
their lead to game and a half over
the locals. This margin at this late
stage of the season, with the Browns
having only nine more games to play
to finish their schedule and the
Yankees ten, according to sport
writer's, would go far in determining
the ultimate winner of the champion
ship.
"A Yanks Have Hardest Schedule.
Should victory perch on the Browns
banners, the locals would capture the
leading position from their eastern
opponents and have a lead of a half
contest. This result, it is believed,
would mean that the Browns have
favorable chance to beat the New
York team down the stretch, as the
Yankees appear to be facing a harder
schedule to the finish than the
Browns.

pitcher of the major leagues with

Joplin knotted the series by winning

and Joplin should have won easily
without extra innings but loose base
running was responsible for the loss
of at least one run. In the thirteenth

ROSSVILLE, II; SANTA FE, 8
RaiIroaders Did Not Have Chance In
Sundays Game.

Five men batted for Rossville be-
fore the Santa Fe club succeeded in
getting a man out in the game Sunday
afternoon at Southwestern league
park. The game went to Rossville,
IL to 5, and at no time during the
entire contest did it look like the rail-
readers had a chance of winning.
Errors and inability of Seitz to keep
the visitors from hitting the ball on
the nose almost at leisure, cost the
Santa Fe boys the game.

HOREY A WINNER
Worlds Diff Track King Wins
Fair Auto Race.
Louis DisbrOw Places Second in
SunflOwer Sweepstakes.

and his Frontenac won the Sunflower
sweepstakes for cash purse and
trophy by taking the third heat of the
race from Louis Disbrow, driving a
Fiat, at the Kansas Free Fair Satur-
day afternoon. Louis Disbrow held
the lead nearly all the way but in the
last eighth mile Horey showed BURST
of speed and beat him across the tape
by a narrow margin. Cliff Craft, in
a KING Special, was third and Larry
Stone, in his Deusenberg, fourth. Time
was 3:09.
Horey alo won the three-mile in
vitation match race from Craft and
Disbrow by a wide margin, in 4:01.

The five-lap consolation was won by
Murray and his Stutz, with Petticord
second and Hoffman third, in Bat.
The three and one-half-mile race
for a purse of $500, which was the
opening event on the program, was
propably the most interesting of the
day. Petticord got away good but
was crowded by Kelley in his Bugatti
for two laps, when he got the lead
and Aeld it for a mile. Petticord then
nosed him out again and twice more
came across the tape ahead of him.

little more speed than the Essex
could muster, and won the race by a
narrow margin. Stone finished third
and Murray fourth.
The track was exceedingly heavy
and time slow. Owing to the mud
the auto polo game was not held, but
the circus acts were put on between
races and AL Sweets singing band fur
