ST. LOUIS GOES
 WILD OVER TEAM Whistles and Sirens Shriek as News Of Victory Arrives

St. Louis, Sept 27 P}-St. Louis hasn't reached that extreme sophis- tication where it takes it's baseball pennants with yaWn.
 For three even" years now .1926, 1928, 193O-the Cardinals have reigned supreme in the National league, but the clinching of the third championship was the occa- sion for a celebration nearly as noisy as the one four years ago when a 3S-year pennant famine ended.
 Starting immediately after Old Jess Haines had knuckle- -balled the last Pittsburgh Pirate batter into submission, the old St. Louis began letting off steam. Whistles and si- rens shrieked the news of the Car dinals' victory to the downtown dis trict and veritable blizzard of pa CT scraps and ticker tape began sweeping down from office windows.
 Honking automobile horns, tor pedoes, open cut outs, tin cans tied on the rear bumpers of cars ani practically every known device for noise making were pressed into serv- ice. Until far into the night the din kept up. Carnival crowds mill ed through the downtown streets. shouting and grinning.
 The police didn't care. In fact, it was reported. numerous usually stern policemen grinned as if they'd have liked to join in the celebration.
 Everywhere the sentiment was bring on the Athletics" Strangers told each other, Well, boy, we did it."
 Telephone officials estimated 35,- 900 telephone calls were handled within ten minutes after the Cards had clinched the pennant, four times the usual number. It seems every fan wanted to call up some other fan.
 But all that was unofficial. The official celebration was reserved for today, when the victorious Red Birds will ride through the streets like conquering heroes Mounted police men will show the way for the cars carrying the players. Two players will ride in each car with a mem Der of the reception committee.
 Army blimps and airplanes will fly over the parade, discharging aerial combs.
 Meanwhile, world series tickets will be dispatched in the mail early next week. There are more than five times as many applicants As there are available reservations.
 William Victor. secretary of the St. Louis Hotel Mems association, said today rates would not be in creased for the world series, but an occupant of a double room will be expected to share with another guest or pay double the rate.

LOU GEHR|G HAS
 ONLY SMALL LEAD
Yankee Star Is Three Points Ahead Of Simmons Of Athletics

Chicago, Sept. 27 P1With only decision, Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, had the tiny margin of three points over Al Simmons of the world cham pion Athletics, s,according to unofficial averages which include Wednesdays games.
 The figures gave Gehrig, who had played in every game of the cam paign, "a mark of .379, three points off from last week. while Simmons had hiked his average two points to .376. Babe Ruth remained third with .360, the same as last week.
 Gehrig also clung to his runs bat ted in and total bases leaderships, with 169 of the former and 40 of the latter, while Simmons grabbed one of Babe Ruth's laurels the scoring leadership. Simmons scored six times during the week to raise his total to 14S, while the Babe scored only once, the result of his place with 146 tallies.
 Urban Hodapp of Cleveland, was the only player ex0pt Gehrig, to lead in more than one department. The Indian second baseman had hit safely 220 times, and clouted three doubles to retain the lead with 49 Earl Combs of the Yankees, got two more triples to increase his leading total to 22, and Marty McManus of Detroit, retained the stolen base title at 23, without boosting his to- tai.
 Regulars following Gehrig, Sim mons and Ruth in the individual batting parade wefe; Reynolds. Chi cago, .357; Cochrane, Philadelphia, 1854; Hodapp, Cleveland. 1858; Nor gan. Cleveland. .353; Cronin, Wash ington .35l; Porter Cleveland. $50, and Manush St, Louis Washington, .349.
 Bob Grove, already established as king of the American league hurlers, was credited with another victory and had d season mark of 2S tr- umphs and five defeats. The Ath- letics' tireballer also led in strike outs as usual. and needed only one more 10 give him 200.
 The Yankees had set up a team batting average Of .309, two points higher than last week. and appeared to have the title Clinched. Cleve- land went into a tie with Washington for second place by maintaining u dropped two points. The team field ing situation was the same as last week, with the Athletics retaining the lead at .976, and Washington remaining second with .974.

Maryland, Foxx became regular in 1928, batted 1854 in 1929 and was home run hero of the world series that year.
 Behind the bat, Gordon (Mickey) Cochrane already was making a name for himself. Al Simmons, coached by his idol, Cobb, devel- oped fast as one of the leagues greatest all-around outfelders. Among the pitchers, Grove and Walberg began to get control of their left-handed fast balls.
 The new champions of the House of Mack fast were finding them selves. The Cobb-Speaker outfield experiment did not last out the 1928 season. George (Mule) Haas. ob- tained from Atlanta, and Edmund (Bing) Miller, back after a stay in St. Louis, replaced the old timers in the outfeld. Jimmy Dykes, the jack of all-infeld trades became the regular third baseman. George Earn shaw, the big exSwarthmore col lege star, joined the pitching staff.
 T thought I had the winning com- bination at last when we were south in 1929" Mack admitted to me later. But carefully refrained from say ing so. We had experienced some misfortGnes, and the experts were pessimistic about our chances to teat the Yankees l chose to en- courage this. We had had so many setbacks 1 did not want to arouse premature enthusiasm. It was that much better when our pitchers and the whole club came through so wonderfully"
 The Athletics ran away with the league race. They led their nearest rivals, the ex-cham- pion Yankees, by the overwhelm- ing margin of IS games and gave their manager his greatest thrill by routing the Chicago Cubs in the world series.

SOUTH CHORCH HIT l
 F0R .402 AVERAGE
Bomba and Mercy Led Cham
 pions, Percentages Show

With every regular hitting 300 or
 better, five topping the 400 mark,
 and two equalling or passing 500.
 the South Congregational church baseball team hung up a grand aver age of .402 in winning the Inter- Church league championship during the past season, records compiled i from the hines scores reveal. This
 terrific percentage is the result of an attack which battered its way
 through all opposing pitchers in the | league and reveals one reason why | the Congrega gationalists captured the title, although this offensive power
 was backed by brilliant pitching and by fielding which was usually sharp
 as we'll as airtight.
 Billy Bomba, outfielder who won recognition as the fastest man in the league, led the team in, batting with the awesome average of .509, but
 even so he barely defeated Wilton | Mercy, pitcher -shortstop and lead off man. who whacked the ball for on even 800 and in addition drew plenty of passes, being one of the hardest men in the circuit to keep off the base paths. Clifford Bell who alternated positions with Mercy, proved himself the outstanding star in the league this season, being un- defeated in the box and breaking up several games with his heavy hitting which brought him an average of d6S Willie Mer1o ynItbf,t1 hut clever second sacker, was but five points behind him in the averages,
 while Otto Barta, solid-swatting first baseman. trailed him.
 The gigantic Graham Spring, who formed an unpassable barrier at third. hit for .396, and "Vosh"
 Stelma, rated one of the best catch CTS in the league, finished with .375.
 Ernest Jacobi, right fielder, hit for 1926 and Kermet Parker, center fielder who went through the entire season without an error, wound up a bare two points over the 300 mark. Billy Darrow, who filled in at short in the last two games did not have time to find his batting eye. All told, the team slammed out 194 hits for 2S4 bases.
 Winning IA out of 16 league games, the South Church broke even in pair of exhibition contests. Bell was the leading pitcher of both team and league, winning six verdicts without a defeat, while Mercy won seven out of nine decisions. The batting averages:

Walnut Hill park, the scene for many years of important baseball clashes. will again be the field of honor on which another important battle will be waged this afternoon when the P. & F. Corbin baseball team, champion of the local Indus trial League and of the city, will meet the Stamford Gas & Electric Co. nine in the final game to de- eide the state championship among industrial league combinations.
 Not in recent years has New Brit ain advanced so far along the path towards the state title as the Cor the minds of local fans who have followed the fortunes of the Corbin crew all during the season and since the league season closed, feel certain that New Britain will have the state industrial trophy added to it's collection of trophies this year.
 However. Stamford has to be reckoned with. Although little is known about the team in this city. reports from down state are to the effect that the team is a strong one. l. easily disposed of opposition in the preliminaries and semi-finals and earned the right to meet Cor bins in the final game.
 It should be a gala day locally to- morrow afternoon. Buses, carrying the Stamford baseball players and 150 rooters will leave there at 9:3o o'clock tomorrow while the hours O. the P. & F. Corbin Co. outing have been set ahead so that the en- tire attendance at Compounce will come en mass to the game.

BILL TERRY IS
 STILL LEADING
Giants First BaSenan Is Almost
 Sure of Batting Title

New York, Sept 27 LP-It will take a few remarkable performances by his rivals to keep Bill Terry, first baseman of the New York Giants, from capturing the 1880 National league batting pionship. With only two games to play. Terry has a mark of .4O4 according to the aver ages released today, which include Wednesdays games, and even if he fails to connect for the rest of the season, he cannot drop far below that mark.
 His nearest rival, Babe Herman of Brooklyn, is credited with a .393 average, eleven points behind the leader. while Chuck Klein of Phila- delphia, third on the list of regulars, has a .3SS average.
 Terry not only has the batting title almost within his possession but he is close to a league record for the total number of hits made in sea- son. Leading the leagues sluggers with 25S safe blows. the Giant slug ger is only one behind the mark set by Frank O'Doul of Philadelphia last season.
 Klein, with one batting record al ready set. is second with o49 hits. The young Philadelphian has hit 59 doubles, two more than the former major league record. Klein also leads the league in scoring with 157 runs and is second to Hack Wilson in home runs and runs batted in. Will son has clouted 53 four baggers and has driven home TIT tallies for pair of record performances, while Klein has 40 baggers and 17o runs batted in.
 Kiki Cuyler of Chicago Is klein's leading rival for the title of the leagues best all-around performer. He holds two second places with 151 runs and AS doubles and in addition has stolen 36 bases to lead the cir cult. A total of 23 triples made by Adam Comorosky of Pittsburgh still is good enough for first place in that department while his teammate, Paul | Waner, is second with IS. Babe Her mans IS pilfered sacks give him second place in that respect.
 Frank O'Doul, the 1929 batting champion, holds fourth place on the current list of leaders with a .3S3 mark. Behind him among the reg ulars come Lindstrob. New York. ulars come Lindstrom. New York, Waner, Pittsburgh. .336; Stephenson, Chicago. .S66; Traynor Pittsburgh, .360 and Wilson, Chicago, 1854.
 Team batting honors remain in the hands of the New York Giants with .31S mark while Philadelphia is a good second at .316. The Giants and Cincinnati are tied for the field ing lead with .97S averages
 New Workers also hold the lead in pitching with Clarence Mitchell and Fred Fitzsimmons in the first two places. Mitchell has won il games and lost three for .7S6 average while 19 victories and seven defeats give Fit1simmons a .731 average Erwin Brame of Pitts burgh has won IT games and lost seven to take third place at .70S.
