MAY get Prize
None Of Entrants in Marathon
Are Able to Finish

Toronto. Sept. W1Just what
sort of money prize would be paid
to Georges Michel Of France for his
effort in the Wrigley marathon OF
Is miles was the question upper
most in the minds of swimming dew
otees and officials here today. The
Partisan baker. conqueror of the
English channel and second place
man in the second annual 2l-mile
marathon here last year. was in ex-
cellent condition and spirits after
having been forced out of the race
by the chill Of Lake Ontario late
last evening.
Michel, when hauled from the
water, was the sole survivor among
the 1873 starters, and had covered
12 Ia miles in the rather labor
ious time of II hours and ~ min
utes. Tho rotund French baker
man apparently strove to remain
longer in the race than Ernest Vier-
koetter. German channel victor and
champion of the Wrigley marathon
here last year.

with evening shadows falling.
All three were in bad shape when
removed from the water but all re-
spon.ied to stimulants administered
at the hospital imp"ovised in the
Canadian National Yacht club near
the course. Eric Barenshee, Nicr-
koetter's manager. said he had or
dered the husky German from the
lake when 1t became apparent that
he could not finish the distance with
safety to his health.
1T would have been impossible
for any human to finish ! 5 miles in
that lake" Barenshee asserted. The
temperature ranged between about
~ outside the breakwater 10 some
So degrees inside. with most of the
mile triangle outside. The water
was about Is degrees warmer last
week when Ethel Hertle of New
York won ten-mile marathon for
women in five hours and II minutes.
1t was reported that Michel quit
the lake last night only after hear

ible for the $4,000 Wrigley first

distance then Vierkoetter had

Critical SERIES
TO START SUNDAY
Yankees and Athletes hay De.
eide American Pennant

New York. Sept. 6 fP-In a set
ting OF worlds series proportions at
the Yankee stadium. the energetic
pupils Of Prof. McGillicuddy and the
somewhat grogsy employees of Col.
Rupert start four game series this
Sunday that may have decisive
bearing on the American league
pennant race.
For the first time since the
Yankees staggered home in 1926.
Just ahead OF Cleveland. this series
between the worlds champion New
Workers and the Athletics shifts the
major league spotlight from the
closeness OF the National leagues
struggles to the main battle in the
junior circuit.
On the seasons performances, and
the formerly demonstrated ability of
the Yankees TO come through
against their chief rivals, especially
the Athletics. the clan led by Babe
Ruth figures to win. OF the is
games they have played this season,
the Yankees have won 10. But on
the strength of comparative perform
ances within the past two months
and what baseball experts figure as
the games law OF averages, the
Mackmen ought to gain the upper
hand.
The Athletics have big edge in
pitching. Their attack has been more
timely and consistent than that of
the Yankees for some time. But the
aces of Mack's twirling staff. such as
Grove and Walberg. have seldom
been effective against the Yankees
this year. Grove has lost only six
games all season but five of these
defeats were handed to him by New
Works clubbers. Lefty has been
poison to every team in the league
outside the champions. If he feels
1t is about time for turn-about he
may be encouraged by the fact that
the Yankees he tackles this time
have not been walloping the ball at
the clip they did earlier in the CAM
paign.
OF course all the crucialness of
this crucial series will be extracted
If the rivals happen to split even in
the four games scheduled Sunday.

ing into the neutral zone less than
one second after q shift or huddle
and before the snap-back OF the bah,
which later is snapped. Such player
on the offensive side will be guilty
not OF encroachment upon the neu-
trail zone, a five-yard infraction. but
OF violating the rule requiring players
to remain motionless for one full
second after shift or huddle. The
penalty is is yards.
Various aspects Of the shift and
huddle were discussed and cleared
up. The offensive wing back aud
the end may not now edge out to-
gether to assault the defensive tackle
on shift or huddie play. One
must remain motionless as the other
manenvers. and both must come to
halt before the bali is snapped.

in shift, but all eleven men on the
team must be at rest for one sec

A safety is scored when pro-
fected backward or lateral pass is
tatted across the offensive teams
goal line and there recovered by the
offense. The ball may be batted ly
either a defensive or an Offensive
player--the original impetus was
given by the offense. Such ball
recovered by the defense within the
end zone is a touchdown.

Gary. "A. brother of the late

his lodgings III private motor.
The impression gained ground
among $4,000 spectators on shore
that Michel would receive the prize.
An unauthorized statement had
gone over the radio asserting that
the FrenchMan would win the mo-
ment he passed Vierkoetter's mark.
but Wildwood Hughes, sports direc-
tor OF the Canadian exposition
which sponsored the two swims. an
nounced that Michel would not col
lect the first prize.
The disposition Of this money and
the $4,000 in secondary rewards
would have to bee decided by the
committee. MIR. Hughes added. He
left the impression that something
would be paid to the athletes.
Michel was the fourth leader to
quit the swim. Norman Ross, pace
setter for the first five miles. was
forced to give up soon after George
Young passed him at the five-mile
buoy. and Young himself passed out
after showing the way for one and
one-half miles. This cleared the way
for Nierkoetter to lead for five and
one-half miles until he was remov-
ed from the water at SAP p. m.
Then with the Withdrawal Of
Tegtmeir and Matthias. the field was
left alone to Michel until he him

Rogers Hornsby. six time former
champion attempting a come back,
is having a dramatic tussle with Paul
Waner. the sensational young Pirate
outtielder and 1927 champion.
The work of both Gehrig and
Waner shows that the baseball ex-
perts knew what they were doing
when they selected the Yankee first
sacker and the Pirate star as the
most valuable players Of their re-
spective leagues last season These
two have made their marks among
baseball's greatest without the trace
of doubt. no matter how they come
out in the race for the batting
crowns this season.
Gehrig hasn't quite matched his
1927 home run pace but his all
around play has improved and his
hitting has been more consistent
Waner's all-around work has been
even more remarkable. This is only
the third big league season for the
elder members of the famous Waner
act but for that period he has the
most versatile batting record of any
performer in the league. He hit .336
in 1926 and $50 in 1927. He is
lowering around $50 again besides
leading the league in runs, hits. dou-
bles and triples.
There will be a new American bat
ting king, whether or not it happens
to be Gehrig or Goslin or some other
contender, but this is to be expect

up ammunition to keep his record
