YANKEES GAIN FULL
 GAME ON SENATOR'S
Ferguson Beats Walter Johnson In Duel; New
 York Wins From Athletics

BOSTON, Sept. 26.-Washington's 8 pennant aspirations received rude jolt today when Ferguson pitched Boston to 2 to l victory over the Senators in the first game of four scheduled to he played here. New York's victory while Washington lost reduced the Senators lead in the pennant race to one full game. The league leaders made only seven hits.
 Another blow to Washington hopes came when Walter Johnson, the clubs pitching ace, was hit on the left elbow by a pitched ball in the seventh inning and apparently severely injured. Mar berry pitched the eighth inning against Boston. After 13 consecutive victories Johnson figured as losing pitcher. In the third Veach with one out scratched a hit through Stanley Harris and went to third when Boone singled to center. Joe Harris Texas leaguer to short center brought the score. Ezzell forced Harris, but Lees long single to left center let Boone in with what proved to be the winning run. Washington s run came in the eigth. Ruel opened with single beyond shortstop. Liebold batted for Johnson and bounded rapidly to Ferguson, whose throw to Lee forced Ruel. The latter prevented Lee from making throw to first. Wade Lefler went in as a pinch hitter for McNeely and his double to left center let Lei bold score from first.
 Stanley Harris and Rice were infield outs, however, and the Washington ral- ly was over.
 After hitting safely in 31 consecu- tive games Sam Rice went hitless to-

.HUEYTOWN HIGH
 EASY WINNERS
GOphers Run Up 66 To 0 Victory Over AL
 liance Clan

Hueytown defeated Alliance High school Friday afternoon at the new athletic field in Bessemer, 80 to 0, in one of the most one-sided games seen here in years. The Gophers, coached by Fats Snider, Auburn, showed every thing, hit Alliance with everything but the goal posts and pulled down such an array of touchdowns that the score keepers had to call in the help. Alliance showed fight but was Outweighed, out classed and out-generaled.
 McLain. Howard, Dyer, Salter and Porter were the stars of the game, though Hueytown showed teamwork and speed which surprised the large gallery of fans, who were tfere to see what Bessemer will be up against later.
 The first few minutes of play showed Hueytown's superiority. Alliances first attempt through Hueytown's line for four downs resulted in being thrown for losses of five yards. The ball went over and Hueyt0wn netted a neat gain over Alliances right tackle, which was followed in snappy fashion with a spec tacular run around their right end by McLain for sixty-five yards and Huey- towns first touchdown. A forward pass easily won the after-score.
 Pound Away
 The remainder of the game was about the same, only more so, with Snider sending in his second string men, until before the end of the game practically new team was on the field.
 At the end of the second half the score was 40 to o, Hueytown.
 The next two quarters saw Alliance weakening and unable to stem the rush of the EIeytown scrui's.
 The lineup was for Hueytown: How ard, center; c. Densmore, right guard Huey, right tackle; Skates, right end ; Payne, left guard; o. DensmOre, left tackle; Hyche, left end Porter, quarter back; McLain, fullback; Dyer, right half; Salter, left half; substitutions, all the second string men.
 Alliance: E. Salter, left end; Glaze, left tackle; Snow, left guard Hood, center; Quinn, right guard; Knight. right tackle 'Howton, right end; Vines, quarterback; Trice, left half; B. Glaze, right half; Alexander, bullback.

BIG TEN OPEN GRID SEASON Wisconsin Meets North Dakota And Indiana
 Plays Rose
By H. HI ROBERTSON

lSpeclaI Leased Wire TO Age-herald.l
 CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Most of the life guards who made the girls heart flutter at the beaches last summer again will make a new public appear ance Saturday. This time minus bath ing suits but attired instead in mole skins, head gear and cleated shoes.
 The football season in the western conference, otherwise known as the Big Ten, will open Saturday and three con- ference teams will have their initial brushes of the season. Probably the most interesting tussle of the lot will be the Wisconsin, North Dakota game at Madison, although this game ord inarily would fall within the category of loosening-up contest. North Da- kota is not expected to prove easy for the Badgers. Last year the North Da. kota outfit gave Wisconsin a hard fight, and this year the boys from the farther west have sent word that they believe they'll win.
 Purdue will clash with Wabash at La Fayette, Ind. Some years the Wabash team is good. At times it has been too good for the Purdue warriors. But Purdue is favored to win the game this year by big margin.
 Indiana Meets Rose
 Indiana will play Rose Polytechnic at Bloomington, Ind. There's no tell ing how this game will turn out. Coach Clark of Rose expects his team to win. Coach Ingram of Indiana has eight of last years players on his team this year.

Shades-Cahaba Barely Defeats
 Mortimer Jordan, 8 To 0

The Shades Cahaba Mountaineers, un- der Coach Aubrey Miller. trounced the Mortimer Jordan High school eleven in their first game of the season Friday at Shades-Cahaba, 8 to o. The game was we'll played and much closer than was expected. The Morris team showed plenty of fight and made number of good gains in the first quarter. It was a 30-yard pass, Big Ikie" Davidson to Little Ikie" Davidson, which gave the Mountaineers their lone touchdown. Little Ikie" ran 10 yards over the goal line after getting the ball
 The safety was scored on the last play of the game. The Mountaineers were trying for a field goal but the ball rolled behind Mortimer Jordan's goal line and when a player grabbed it up he was thrown behind the line.

ARKANSAS TEAM
 TO PLAY MANDY

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 26.-
 Henderson Brown has agreed to meet the Vanderbilt Commodores Saturday as a substitute for Howard. The Ala
 bama game was cancelled because of the death of Harris Cope, coach at How
 ard college.
 The Arkansas eleven is stronger than
 Howard. Their last engagement with the Commodores resulted in 33fto-0 victory for Vanderbilt, but the game caused more dissatisfaction in Gold and
 Black circles than any early season game ever played. The visitors put up real game and Vanderbilt won largely by strength of numbers.
 According to reports from Tender son Brown, the squad this year is com
 posed of some large men, with good prep school records behind the team.
 The team is coached by Jimmy Hay good, former Vanderbilt quarter. He has always turned out a well-trained hard fighting team. Local officials were very much pleased at being able to se- cure the game at such short notice. It
 means an even better struggle than the
 Howard game would have produced.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.-Their backs to the wall and fighting desper- ately in the hope of overtaking the Washington Senators, New York pound- ed its way to victory today when Phila- delphia's defense weakened in the fifth inning. The final score to 1.
 For four innings Texas" Gray baf- fled the Yankees attempts to break through his delivery and was retiring them in order on easy pop ups and puny grounders. But Pennock was sail ing along just as smoothly and though the Athletics managed to get men on base in each of the first three innings, they were unable to come through with the pinches.
 The first break in the hurling duel came in the fifth inning and the Yankees, quick to take advantage of it's effect on Grays equilibrium, followed with some solid clouting that cinched the game.
 The turn in the Yankee effort came when Dykes and Miller collided in short right field in a chase for Pennock's S pop fly. The ball fell between them and before it could be recovered the New York southpaw was dusting himself off on second base. Witt followed with a grounder to second that Dykes fumbled in his anxiety and men were on first and third with only one out.
 Dugan hit down the left field foul line for two bases. Pennock crossed the plate with ease on this blow and Witt pulled up at third. Ruth was then purposely passed, filling the bases, but Pipp blasted single through the drawn in infield that sent two more runs across the plate and the fourth and fifth runs of the inning counted on Meusels single and Wards grounder that forced Meusel at second.
 Heimach was solved for two runs in the seventh inning, one of which may prove very costly to the Yankee cause.
 Joe Dugan, who had opened the in ming with sinble, raced to third when Simmons fumbled single from Pipp's bat and when he slid into third, wrench ed his left knee so severely that he was temporarily knocked out. McNally was substituted for Dungan.
