WATCHING THE
SC0REB0ARD

With three games remaining to be
played, the Cardinals today had q
remote chance to win the National
League pennant from Pittsburgh,
now two games in the lead. If the
Pirates win two or three games
from Cincinnati while the Cards
win all of their games, Pittsburgh
will still be winner.
New York can tie for the lead by
winning all of their four games, pro-
vided the Pirates lose all three.
The Pirates made their position
moro secure by beating the Cubs, ,
to l in the third game of four
game series they have won by one
run margin.
Carlson, Cub pitcher, allowed
Traynor to single in the fifth and
Grantham followed with homer.
That was the extent of the Pirate
scoring Meadows, Hills and Krem-

Three hits were all the Reds
could get off Groves Alexander

YANKEES ARE
FAV0RITES IN
WORLDS SERIES
Smuggling Ability of Team
Expected 10 Return
Them AS VictOrS.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. Jack
Dempsey's only cnance in the Tun-
ney fight depended upon the ola
sock and as a matter Of official rec.
ord, it failed him.
Everyone knew that Dempsey
I. could hit harder than Tunncy and
lit was generally agreed that Tun-
ney was better boxer and smart
cr strategist than Dempsey. In this
particular instance, the brain proved
better than the blow.
The same logic that brains are
better than might without brains
is being applied to the dope on
the coming world s series between
the New York Yankees and the Ma
tional League pennant winners.
The hitting power of the Yanks
is recognized and respected in the
National League but the brain
: power of the club is disputed.
John McGraw, manager of the
New York Giants, has gone on pub
lie record with the opinion that the
Ianks are not a smart ball club
and that they depend entirely upon
the old sock. He is said to believe
that the Pittsburgh Pirates, the
St. Louis Cardinals or the Giants
could beat the American League
champions.
The Yanks are looked upon in the
National League as fast ball hitters
and the prediction can be heard
that they will be curved to death in
the series.
Hoyt Going Good
National League rooters also ar
gues that Rnth, Gchrig, Meusel and
Lazzeri have been stopped cold be-
fore in world series games and
that they will do no better this
year.
The Yanks, regardless of the tech
nical arguments being advanced
against them, are favorites in the
betting. Odds here of to , that
they win the series are being offer
cd
Waite lIovt, who has been having
his best year, is expected to be AZ
signed to pitch the opener for the
Sanks. Ray kremer probably will
oppose him if the Pirates win the
{ pennant.
In considering the pitching staff
Of the Yankees as compared TO that
of the National League contcnders,
il must be recalled that the strength
of the Yankees has been vastly i'm
proved bv the addition of Willie
Moore, the best relief pitcher in
baseball.
If Pittsburgh wins the National
League pennant, the lanks will
have for Pittsburgh Sunday night
and will practice at Forbes Field
Monday and Tuesday morning.

$4,000 of the 100000 tax revenue

as to the adequacy of this sum.
1t was shown that this amount was
inadequate to maintain a fire depart
ment to meet the requirements of
the underwriters and keep the pres.
ent insurance rate. 1t was pointed
out that 100000 would be more like
a proper estimate. Mr.. White ex-
planned that it was the intention to
let the volunteer fire companies con-
tinue as at present. operated by
volunteer firemen, and that the $685.
900 would so toward the salary of a
paid chief and maintenance of appa-
ratus. He asked that a committee
be appointed to confer with the

give it help in solving the prob.
lem of an adequate fire department
