Irish After
National
Crown Again
,I1otre Dame to Seek Coast
to-Coast LaureIS in
Football.
BY DIXON STEWART.
United Press Special Correspondent

OHASSu EreSS special CORRESPONDENTS
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Notre Dame
again will seek recognition this year
as the leading football team of the
nation. The Irish aggregation Of
Knute Rockne, while not competing
in any conference, is recognized as
the football leader of the midwest,
and this year has a schedule which
will give the team opportunity to
show its comparative rating with
representative squads of almost ev-
cry section.
This season Notre Dame is sched-
uled to play Loyola of New Orleans,
Drake and Carnegie Tech on the
home gridiron. During their trav-
els the Irish will play Wisconsin
at Madison, Navy at Chicago, Geor-
gia Tech at Atlanta, Penn State at
Philadelphia, Army New York and
Southern California at Los An
geleS.
Reports from South Bend indi-
cate that the present outlook in the
Irish camp is not as bright as dur
ing the past few seasons, but there
appears to be little reason for pes
SimiSHn.
Eight full teams have been Sc
iected for the 1928 varsity squad and
Rockne undoubtedly will mold sew
eral powerful teams from this group.

Yankees and Cardinals Not In Yet;
Major League Seasons End Sunday
Neither Club Can Afford to SIacken Pace in Hectic Races
in Big Time Circuits.

1928 baseball season. the Yankees
hold a two-game lead over the
Philadelphia Athletics and the
Cardinals hold a one-game lead over
the New York Giants. The season
ends in both leagues next Sunday.
Neither team can afford to
slacken its pace, but both leaders
appear to have the strength left to
send them across the wire in front.
The Yanks are crippled and their
pitching staff is shot, but they re-
fuse to quit fighting and nothing
less than a complete collapse can
knock them off the top. Babe Ruth
has leg injury, Mark Koenig has
a Sprained ankle and Tony Lazzeri
is still nursing his old shoulder in
jury, but they are staying in there
every day.
The YankS have two more games
with Cleveland and then move to
Detroit to wind up the season with
a five-game series against the
Tigers.
Another shining example of grit
and courage is on display in the
Natioal League where the Giants
are hanging onto the heels of the
Cardinals. If the Giants can win
the rest Of their games up to the
final game of the season with the
Cardinals at the Polo Grounds next
Sunday the National League race
may end in a tie.
The Giants have seven games left,
two with Cincinnati, four with Chi
cago and one with st. Louis. On
the other hand, the Cards have six
games with second division teams,
three each agains the Robins and
Braves, and the final game with the
Giants.

"The title of the ease is 'the peo-

Brady said - will confer with my
assistants to determine how much
consideration should be given this
communication.
Sally's plea was contained in n
letter which said:
Dear Mr.. Brady:
"Please call off the case against
jackson Swisher. Every word | said
was true, but feel that he has sut-
fered enough. | feel that if he is
sent to prison my punishment would
