AL LEAGUE FLAG FIGHT MAY GO DOWN TO LAST DAY
Wild Struggle Continues,
With Cincy Reds Leading
by Slight Margin.
BY Henry L. Farrell,

United Press Staff Correspondent /
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The Gin
cinnati Reds, their pitching staff
working like a well-oiled machine
and the entire team hitting hard
and fielding with precision, were out
in front in the spectacular National
League pennant race today.
The Reds, by taking their seven
tenth game Of the season from
Brooklyn while the st. Louis Car
dinals were idle Tuesday, broke the
tie and led by half game.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, whose
pitching staff likewise is functioning
with precision, stayed in the fight
by giving the New York Giants a
SO beating. The Pirates are two
games behind the Cardinals. All
three teams were to play today. and
the Reds, seemingly invincible
against the weak eastern teams, have
an excellent chance of sweeping the
series with Brooklyn. The formidable
Red Lucas was expected to pitch for
Cincinnati.
The Pirates were to meet the
Giants again while st. Louis moved
into Philadelphia to meet the tall
end Phillies. After the surprising
slump of the Cards against the weak
Boston Braves, the law Of averages
should work in their favor in their
six games with the Phillies.
The chances are all in favor Of
fight ia the last day of the season,
Sept. 26, with play-off possible.
Three teams so evenly-matched sell
dom hit the end of the season so
closely together as the Cards, Reds
and Pirates.
Opinion here gives the Reds a
slight edge in pitching strength, but
it is only slight. The breaks Of the
game could give victory to any Of
the three.
The pennant in the American
League probably will be decided def
nitely in Cleveland this week.
where the leading New York
Yankees meet the second place In
dams in six games. The Yanks have
a five and half game lead, and the
Indians figure that if they can take
four games, they are still in the
race. If they sweep the series, they
will be in the lead.

Great Pitching by Specie Is
Feature-TWo More
Milwaukee Battles.

Second game with the Brewers to-
day and another chance was offered
the Indians to make further strides
toward ousting the Milwaukee gang
from second place. The pennant
scramble between Colonies and
Brewers is practically all over but
the cheering and about all Mil
waukee can hope for now is to grab
the runner-up honors.
The Brewers stockholders have
no complaints, however. The team
drew we'll over the 100000 mark at
home this season and the Brewer
bosses cashed in heavily. In fact
lit is said Milwaukee attendance
reached $4,000, which means a
golden harvest for the club treasury.
Added to that, Outfielder Shuttle
brought a huge price, being pur-
chased by the st. Louis Browns for
spring delivery.
In the series opener between
Brewers and Indians Tuesday, the
men of Lelivelt got taste Of the
remarkable pitching the Bushmen
have been getting recently and the
locals won, to 2. Byron Specie
dazzled the invaders and held them
to six hits and one earned run. The
Brewer marker that crossed the
plate in the ninth was helped over
by an error.
Specie struck out five batters and
walked one. He was not touched for
a hit until Griffin beat out a bunt
after two out in the fourth. "Griff'
was the first Brewer to get on base.
II was great twirling by Specie that
swas the outstanding feature of the
afternoons pastiming and about
l 900 customers were we'll enter
tanned
The Tribe collected ten hits, nine
off Jonnard in seven innings and one
eff Eddleman in one stanZa. The
Indians rallied in the second to get
their three runs. Other opportuni-
ties to score were gummed up and
thirteen Tribesmen were left
Stra nded.
Ainsmith came to life and drove In
two runs and Matthews socked in
the other. Ainsmith got double,
single and two walks.

With Bobby Jones, title-holder

a strong favorite to win the title

play started today in the Nationa

The Westchester Jones qualified

TIT ODAY was official roll call day
at the Big Ten colleges. Foot
IL ball coaches officially took
charge of the squads at Indiana,
Purdue and Notre Dame, but at
Wabash, De Paw, Butler, Earlham,
Franklin, Rose Poly and others the
coaches have been working with the
squads since Sept. s.
Down at I. U. football was again
on the tongues Of the student body,
the occasion being that Pat Page,
the new coach, was to work with
the team. Page held spring practice
and Is not altogether new to the
players and student body. Indiana
is expected to win more than half
its games.
Jimmy Phelan, at Purdue, is
known quantity at the engineering
school. Tom Hogan, captain, has
been working the squad daily and
Phelan's chief worry will be to get
the team in condition for hard early
season games. Material at Purdue
is about the same as last year and
a good season is expected.
Rockne at Notre Dame Is all
smiles and every one expects a
great team again this pear. Many
veterans, a strong freshman team
from last year, and the reserves
form the usual large number to pick
from. Notre Dame might again up
set the country with an undefeated
team. They play Indiana this year
and the old battle between "Rock"
and Page will be resumed.
Pete Vaughan is strutting a flock
of smiles these days. Gamma
Neae and Frank Reese are aiding in
the grooming Of the Little Giants"
for the Wabash fall campaign and
reports from the camp are that the
Wabashers are slated to go big.
De Paw will play it's second
season under w. L. Hughes. More
than fifty candidates are out for the
Old Gold team and just how many
of them are first team caliber is not
known, but at any rate, De Paw
now knows the Hughes system and
a better team than last year is ex-
pected.
Eddie Duggan, at Franklin, is say
ing little. He had a fine freshman
team last year, and while he lost
most of his forward wall, among
them Buck Rhorabaugh and Red
Rhorabaugh from the back field, it
is thought Franklin is holding some
thing under cover. 1t is known
Butler is the team both Franklin
and Wabash are laying for this
year.
Earlham looks good under Coach
Ross, who did well last year, and
Rose Poly will play its first season
with the Freshman rule bars lifted.
Heze Clark spent the summer about
various coaching schools and with
several prominent western Indiana
high school football stars entering
Rose, the team this. year is expected
to be better than ever.
The Normal Schools, Terre Haute.
Danville and Muncie, will open late
and play their first games soon after
registration day, a handicap to the
coaches. They are all looking to
good year, with more players on the
squads than ever before.
Hanover had it's hard time last
year and most of the team will be
veteran this season. Evansville Col
lege, that surprised many in basket
ball, will make others take notice in
football, according to Coach Har-
mon. Little is known Of the Merom,

Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-09-18

NEW YORK, Sept. II. - The stock
market broke sharply today under the
weight of heavy selling for both ac-
counts Spectators for the advance
started to bid up prices at the opening
on the strength of no change in the
New York federal reserve bank redis-
count rate, but bear traders, sensing a
lack of public participation, fired a
broadside of selling orders which sent
prices crashing 8 to 10 points, as hun
dreds of "stop loss" orders were touch
ed off.
Stock market observers who attempt
to explain market movements by de-
velopments in the days news, attrib-
uted the selling to the Mexican situa-
tion," but in other quarters this was
regarded as more of an excuse than a
reason. In banking circles the steady
decline of stocks in the face of favor
able trade news was looked upon as a
correction of temporarily over
bought condition. Considerable uneasi-
ness still exists over the credit situa-
ton, despiter the decrease in redis-
counts and the maintenance of the 4
per cent central bank rates, and this
was intensified by the marking up of
the call money rate from 41a to per
cent in the early afternoon. The week.
ly mercantile reviews reported further
Improvement in business despite dam :
againg weather in certain sections of
the north bank clearings this week fell
about 4 per cent below the correspond
ing week last year when payments
through the banks for the middle of
September were the largest in history.
The wholesale commodity markets were
firm.
The selling movement reached it's
greatest intensity in Warner Brothers
Pictures CA, which dropped from 62%
to 511s and then rallied to 31R, where
it was off nine points on the day. The
stock, which sold as low as IL earlier
in the year, touched a new record high
