ATHLETICS HAD A
 TOUGH CAMPAIGN

 Romp This Season

Chicago, Sept. 20 CR-The Phila- delphia Athletics are safely "in." but their progress to the American league title was nothing like the romps of last year, according to fig ures provided by Henry P. Edwards. A erican league statistician.
 Edwards outline of the season shows that every team except New York and St. Louis was on top or shaped the lead at least once during the campaign. Boston was up there briefly when the Red Sox defeated Washington in the opening game. which was played a day ahead of schedule.
 Philadelphia and Detroit were tied cago had joined the As and Tigers. April IS Detroit fell, leaving the Athletics and Chicago tied, but the next day Connie Macks club was alone.
 Philadelphia remained In the lead until April 25 when Washington made its first bid. The Senators hung on until May fourth when Cleveland reached the top, while a day later the Athletics had gained a tie with the Indians for the leader ship.
 The As again took sole possession on May S. but Washingtor again bobbed up on May IT. The world champions maneuvered back into the leaL June l and stayed for nearly two weeks when Cleveland made its last appearance on top.

LITTLE WORLD SERIES
Coloncls From Louisville Will Rep resent American Association Against Rochester.

Chicago, Sept. 20 P-The sur- prising Colonels from Louisville, ky, will represent the American Association in the little world series" against Rochester of the International League. starting next Wednesday at Rochester.
 Even though they lost to In- dianapolis yesterday, the Colonels became 1880 champions of the asso- citation. as the second place St. Paul club dropped a game to Kan sas City, last years title winner. Louisville, directed for the second year by Al Sothoron was not regard ed as anything better than possi- bility for fourth place when the sea- son opened. Within two weeks, however, the Colonels were out in front and remained there.
 Louisville's margin today was three games, with only two games left on it's schedule. St. Paul had three but no chance of coming any closer than one-half game of the Colonels.

ONE GAME PLAYED
With International League Race Virtually Decided, Interest is IAoriHo

By the Associated Press.
 With the final standing already virtually decided, International League interest turns now to the forthcoming little worlds series.
 Only one game was played in the league yesterday. Jersey City pulling out a 4-3 decision over Reading in a night game at Reading that af- fected nothing but the players aver ages. Of more importance was the announcement from Chicago that the first game of the little world s series, in which the Rochester Red wings, International League cham pions, will meet Louisville, pennant winners in, the American Associa- ton. would be played at Rocheste, next Wednesday. Rochester clinched the International League title last Sunday but Louisville's triumph in the association race was not decid- ed until yesterday.

Philadelphia, Sept. 20 P-Lefty Grove, the greatest left-hander in the game since the days of Eddie Plank and Rube Waddell, is having the greatest season of his career in pitching the champion Athletics 10 a second consecutive pennant
 With more than two weeks of the campaign yet to go, Grove had won 26 games, while losing 5. The most games he ever won in a single season previously was in 1923 with Baltimore in the International league. He won 27 games, but had 10 losses marked up against him, Groves added efforts this year have been the most vital factor in the clubs long fight to shake off the Washington Senators.
 Rube Walberg, Connie Mack's other great southpaw, has devel- oped bad case of nerves this sea- son, and has been unable to pitch better than BOO ball. Last year the Macks coasted into a pennant with Grove winning only 20 games.
 Grove came up to the Athletics in 1925 at price of S105,OO0. He never really made good until 1927. He was unable to control effective ly his speed ball the first three years. He also had difficulty field ing his position.
 Groves blinding speed is one of the arguments advanced against night baseball in the majors Ball players have no yen to stand up there at night with such speed balls buzzing past
 Grove is one of the most untem- eramental southpaws ever to work in the big leagues. He simply stands up there and shoots 'em past.
 His one defect is the lack of a big hop of his fast ball. It is a curious circumstance as he lets the ball loose so hard that every spring he is troubled with bHsters on his pitching fingers,
 It is thought that Grove will be started in this years world series. Last year he was used in relief roles only, due mainly to the fact that he was not in shape
 If he starts, he probably will do relief pitching. too. He is hard to over-work.
 Grove Is now 30. He is feet 1-2 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds.

FIRST ELEVEN IS STILL UNDECIDED
Coach Cassidy Faces Difficult
 Task At High School

With only a week to go before the first game of the High school football season, Coach George M. Cassidy is still undecided as to his first team lineup. The positions that are causing him trouble area the two ends, fullback and possibly quarterback.
 The two halfbacks will undoubt- ably be Fink and Kloiber the lat ter running the team from this position. Both Grammitt and Steinle have worked out at fullback with honors even so far. Zaleski is the outstanding candidate for the quar- terback position although several other men have been tried at the position.
 A great battle is taking place for the line positions. Jack White has played first string center in the ma- jority of practices up to now. Cap tain Joe Ludwinowicz and Zimat- ravich have been playing the tack les. although Griffin showed up well at Thursdays practice. The guard position is one of the unde- cided line positions with many can- didates, among them Mlynarski and Vanesse, trying for that place.
 Franks and Miriliani have been showing up well at the end posts and look like likely men. Cram mitt had been stationed at one of the ends until shifted to the back field.
 This seasons practices have been featured by the outstanding play of new men. among them Franks, Mir iliani, and Griffin. Franks is learn ing fast at the end position and can handle himself well. Miriliani is fast and has been tried at sev- eral positions in an effort to find a berth for him. No one seems to be able to hurt him, he is SO wiry.

KAPLAN APPEARS
 READY FOR BOUT
Battalin0 Never Looked Better
 Than At Present Time

Hartford, Sept 20.-Both Bat Bat talino and Kip Kaplan are impress sive in their daily sessions with their sparring partners. as they make ready for their bout in the Hurley stadium next Wednesday night.
 Kaplan was too impressive yester- day to suit Johnny Scalzi of Bridge port. who is one of the former cham pion's sparring partners. Louis slam med Johnny with left hook and the Park City boxer Went to the floor with a thud.
 The way in which Louis is going after his sparring partners indicates that he is strong and fast at his present weight
 Mickey Genaro of Waterbury has left the Kaplan camp and Tony Le- to, who halls from Florida but is now making his headquarters here, has been substituted. It is felt that Leto will give Kaplan much harder workouts and he hits much more sharply than Mickey.
 Kaplan's weight after his work out yesterday was 133.
 Battalino boxed yesterday with Jimmy Becker of New York and Billy Averra of Palm Beach, Flori- da. another of the Florida boys now making Hartford their base of war.
 Bat never looked better. He is lowering around 129 and the extra poundage gives him the look of strength and power and does not seem to. rob him of any of his speed.
 The champion is eager to win this one and he is pounding away at his sparring partners in great style.
 Thursday night Bat and Louis met before the "mike" at WTIC and told the radio fans their views on the forthcoming battle. Neither made any rash prediction which it might be necessary to swallow hard next Thursday morning.
 Lou Erik. manager of Kaplan during the illness of Billy Gibson, will arrive here today.
 The advance sale is gaining mo- mentum as the days move on and there is assurance of a great sale.

BOBBY IS READY
 FOR TOURNAMENT
Jones Tunes Up for Opening Of Amateur Play

Philadelphia. Sept. 20 Pl-Bobby Jones will be busy next week seek ing an unprecedented climax to the golf season on a course that already has marked several highlights of his career.
 The national amateur champion ship will be played at the Merton Cricket club, where in 1916 a boy first dazzled the nation by his skill. and where in 1924 that boy, become a young man. first won the national amateur championship after many disappointments. Having won the British amateur and open and the American open already this year, Bobby has chance to be the first to wear the quadruple crown. Qualifying play of 36 holes, one round Monday and another Tues day, will determine 32 participants in match play. There will be two match play rounds at IS holes We'd nesday and thereafter 36-hole rounds, with the final on next Sat urday. Bobby fears nothing much except the 1S-hole matches.
 Bobby slipped away yesterday, primarily to escape the eager eyed galleryites, and shot a round at the Pine, Valley club in New Jersey but his program today called for a final tuning up over the Merton championship east course.
 The mere statement that Bobby was to practice at Merton was suf- | fcient to create plenty of interest but his appearance late today will be more glamorous because he is to play in a foursome that will in- clude the present United States amateur champion and two former holders of the crown.
 Paired with Harrison R. (Jim. my) Johnston, who will defend the national championship in the i'm pending big show" Jones is te compete against Jess Sweetser champion in 1922. and Max Mar ston, titleholder in 1923.
