CARDINALS TAKE
 TENANT AGAIN
Make Greatest Dash Since That
 of Boston Braves in 1914

St. Louis, Mo. Sept 27 (UP)- The St. Louis Cardinals are National league champions again as a result of the greatest pennant dash since that of the Boston Braves in 191i.
 By defeating Pittsburgh here yes terday, 10 to 5, the Cardinals clinch- ed their third pennant in five sea- sons and culminated drive which did not get under way until August 1. and did not assume spectacular power until 20 days later.
 Bringing the pennant battle to 9 close on Sept 26 meant something more to phlegmatic Charles Cab by" Street, manager of the club. than fans had previously supposed. Twelve years ago on Sept. 26, Street, then sergeant in the First Gas regiment, chemical warfare di- vision, laid down a smoke barrage for infantry starting the Argonne drive. October ?, just before the world series starts, it will be ? years to the day since Street was woundfd by machine gun fire.
 Since August 1. Street, in his first year as manager of big league club, has laid down barrages differ ent from those in the Argonne, ones that toppled the pennant hopes of the Cubs. Giants and Robins.
 On that date the manager, dis tressed by injuries to his regulars and the loss of numerous games by one run, had about relinquished hope of his team finishing better vision. He thought he had a great ball club" but the punch was some how lacking.
 The Cardinals were then deep ill fourth place. They had won 4S games and lost 49. Since then they have won 43 and lost but 12, feat that has caused Street to become known here as The Miracle Man"
 How the drive started no one seems accurately to know. The an- nouncement of President Sam Brea- don said that Street believes the team just found itself.
 The Cardinals record against op- poncnts since August follows:
 With Chicago, won three. los: four; Cincinnati. won 10. lost none; Brooklyn, won seven, lost one; Bos- ton. won five, lost three; New York, won five, lost three; Pittsburgh, won four, lost one; Philadelphia, won 3 lost one.

COLLEGES START l GRID YEAR TODAY
Most Leading Teams Are Sched.
 uled to Begin Campaign

New York, Sept. 27 LP = A hun dred eastern college teams boost old king football back on sports throne today, but the kings rule will not become absolute until base balls world series has been played.
 Most of the leading college teams were booked to go on display for the first time but few, such as Har- ward, Princeton, Penn and Navy, elected to wait another week before souding the call to colors
 Yale's new forward passing game was to see service against Maine, and Boston University had to cope with the well-known Warner system as put on by Army under it's new coach, Major Ralph I. sasse. Cornell took on Clarkson and Middlebury was the first foe for Columbia S Lions under Coach Lou Little. Dart mouths Indians romped out on the field against Norwich; Colgate faced St. Lawrence, and Syracuse, was to start in night game against Rens- selaer Poly
 In the metropolitan district, the New York University and Baltimore games held most interest among the Catholic colleges, Georgetown faced Mt St. Mary's; Holy Cross battled St. Bonaventure, and Boston College took on Catho- lie University.
 Out in central Pennsylvania, Laf- ayette and Lehigh were matched against St. Thomas and Ursinus re- spectively, and Penn State opened with Niagara. Farther west, Pitt S partners practiced on Waynesburg and Washington and Jefferson fac ed Bethany. Carnegie Tech travelled ncrthward to meet Buffalo while West Virginia was involved in a state duel with West Virginia Wes- leyan. Bucknell's first foe was Ge- neva, coached by Howard Harpster and Rutgers entertained Providence at New Brunswick.
 New England's slate included the Brown Rhode Island, Amherst-Ner- mont. Wesleyan-Col and William Rochester battles.
 Most games were of the practice variety with little chance of form reversal except in few isolated cases. Upsets will come little later in the season.

MILESKl IS INELIGIBLE
 FOR FIRST GRID GAME
Probable Choice For Fullback On High School Varsity Eleven
 Is Down in Studies

Eddie Mileski, fullback on the New Britain high school football team, will be ineligible for the game against the Naugatuck Alumni football team this afternoon, ac- cording to information received to- day. The game will be played at Willow Brook park.
 Mileski made the team this week after a hard battle. The fullback position has been open since the beginning of the season and several players were tried at it. Finally "Bugler" Mileski, a short chunky type of an athlete, came through and was going great in practice this week. Who will be put in the posi- ton is question. If Gramitt is not transferred from the end posi- ton the choice for the fullback berth lies between Steinle, a husky we'll built athlete, and Gerry Flood who has been featuring in second team play all week.
 The line that will probably start if Gramitt is not shifted is as fol- lows: Griffin and Gramitt, ends; Captain Ludwinowicz and Moore, tackles: O'Brien and Zemmitravich, guards; White or Parda, center

The 15 Round Bout Between Jack Sharkey and Vittorio Cannpolo Given Up by Garden.

New York, Sept. 27 LP-The 15- round bout between Jack Sharkey and Victoria Campolo has been abandoned by Madison Square Gar dsn.
 Postponed Thursday night be- cause of rain, the bout was to have been shifted from the Yankee sta dium to Madison Square Garden and held next Friday night but Campolo declined to fight unless he was granted, new financial terms. He said he had consented to a $7,50U guarantee and l 5 per cent of the receipts above $200,O0O in the beliet the bout would draw a gate" ap- preaching $350,0UO. With less than S50,00O in the box office and the light to be held in the Garden, seat ing only 20,000, Campolo insisted on a guarantee of $20,000. The Gar den, perhaps in relief, then aban- doned the show entirely.

AVENGES DEFEAT
 EIGHT YEARS AG0
Bobby Jones ReYerSes Tables On
 Jess SWeetSer in Tourney
By o. E. KELLER.

Ardmore. Pa, Sept. 27 P>-Eigh, years ago, at the Brooklne Country Club near Boston, Jess Sweetser propelled Bobby Jones out of the na tional amateur championship in the semi-final round. the score being . up and ' to play so that the match ended on the eleventh green, which, at Brookline, was the most distan. from the club house-more than a mile.
 'The longest walk I ever took" Bobby Jones said afterward.
 Friday at the Merton Cricket club history repeated itself in a startling fashion but with a reverse English.
 In the semi-final round of the le30 national amateur champion ship, Bobby Jones got his revenge for that tremendous drubbing of eight years ago with a modicum of interest. He stopped Sweetser on the tenth green. 9 up and to play
 In the locker-room a few minutes later. Jess came up to congratulate ms COnquerer 1urtner.
 II was hoping to carry it to the next green.' said big Jess. smiling and then if it was and could say. Well Bobby, we're all square now but were not, You're 1 up
 At any rate. the tenth green is quite near the club house and the eleventh. like that at Brookline, is long way off.
 'I didn't make you walk as far as you did me. Jess" said Bobby
 I'm glad of it." said Jess "I was pretty tired as it was" Bobby's las, shot of the match was little nashie-niblick pitch that bit into the turf of the tenth green IS inches short of the hole. hopped once, and curled up within ten inches of the stick.
 T felt sort of mean about that" Bobby confessed to Jess. Ut was Ike a stab in the back-a shot in the dark"
 Ut wasn't any shot in the dark" laughed Jess. It was a great stroke and I'd had about enough, any way"
 You may remember that in 1922 Jess started Bobby's downfall by sinking a pitch of 9o-yards for an eagle ? at the second hole. Bobby couldn't quite repeat history in that connection. But he came close.

 San Francisco. Sept. 27 LP,-F'ive pillars of football strategy teaching as many distinctive systems, have turned the Pacific coast this season into a proving field of gridiron theory.
 The systems will range from Glenn Pop" Warmers hocus pocus at Stanford and Howard Jones' of Southern California driving tactics to the wing-footed Rockne game exemplified by Jimmy Phelan at Washington.
 The campaign also will include the University of California de- fensive style ard new power game" being introduced at Oregon by Dr. Clarence Spears.
 Coach Warner, keen tactician whose 1929 team beat Army and Red Cagle decisvely, has evolv- ed a new formation to supersede his famed formations, 'A' and "B. :" Critics have named it Formation c
 His major change is a switch from an unbalanced to a balanced line, with the ends split out and the haltbacks stationed a yard back or the line to plug the two holes.
 He will have seven experienced backfield men. among them Phil Wlnnek, Bill Simpkins and Harlow Rothert.
 Southern California, like Stan ford, is "a team to beat.
 Jones system employs the quar- terback as the principal ball carrier and triple threat man.
 Marshall Duffield, two year letter man, and Orv Mohler, feshman star last season, will be tutored in the task of filling the shoes of such predecessors as Morton Kaer and Morley Drury. All-Americas; Don Williams and Russ Saunders.
 Phelan, new Washington coach. last year nursed Purdue to the Big Ten title
 This year he will begin huge football metamorphosis - changing Washington's traditional power and poundage" system into one that en- braces speedy line and backfield shifts.
 C. NJ. "Nibs" Price, little giant of the California Bears, will offer a creation shaped by nine veterans.
 They include Ralston Gill, full back. Captain Carl Handy, guard, and Clarence Garrity. halfback.
 In contrast to other seasons, the Bears will play more open game with a double shift.
 Spears at Oregon has fine chance to snatch a championship his first year in the conference. His schedule sizes up far easier than the rest.

 The chief difference between the two pitchers seems Waddells chief aim was to amuse himself; Groves to win ball games.
 The high mark in Waddell's career was in 1908. Pitching for the St. Louis Browns July 29, Wad- dell famed lG members of his old club the Athletics for an American League record that still stands. Grove reached the heights in the last worlds series when as a relief pitcher he struck out 10 Chicago Cubs in t-3 innings.
 He figures to start at least two games in the worlds series this year And if he get two dark days aS a background for his speed ball' he may create a record that will put him definitely above Wad-

Philadelphia, Sept. 27 LP-The greatest regret Of the old time Philadelphia fan is that Rube Wad- dell never got into a worlds series.
 Then they would have something to show these young whippersnap- pers who talk about the greatness of Lefty Grove. and what he's going to do in the worlds series this year.
 The question of the relative greatness of the Athletics two scuthpaws has never been settled. Connie Mack, who managed them both, won't give an opinion.
 The nearest Waddell ever came to breaking into q worlds series was in 1905. He led the American league in pitching that year.
 But in typical Waddell stunt he injured his throwing arm before the series. and was forced to sit on the sidelnes while his club took a licking from the New York Giants.

PITTSBURGH HAS
 STRONG RESERVE
Despite Loss of Five Regulars
 Prospects Are Bright

Pittsburgh, Sept. o7. Take five regulars including two all-Amer- icas out of the lineup by gradua- ton route and most football squads would be hanging on the ropes, but rot so Pittsburgh.
 Despite the loss of Dimeolo and Montgomery, guards; Parkinson, fullback; and the All-Americas. Donchess, end, and Uansa. halfback. Coach Jock Sutherland of the Pan thers hopes to get by 2 schedule which features seven major games without losing more than two or three.
 Just how well the Panther pack will fare against this formidable opposition depends to a great eX- tent upon the showing of the scphomores. Fifteen of the g men on the squad are members of last years freshman outfit and as such comprise something of an unknown quantity
 Eleven of the other 23 have seen service in most of the major games Of the last two years and it is around them that Sutherland Is building his team.
 After some three weeks of prac- tice at Camp Hamilton, high in the Alleghenies near Windber Pa, the tt am appears to have no pronounc- ed weaknesses anywhere although some may appear when the team goes up against a fast. mobile of fense like that of Notre Dame.
 In the baclfield, Sutherland has had Captain Eddie Baker alternat- ing with the sophomores. Rocco Cutri and Zola Albert, in calling signals. Franklin Hood has handled the fullback job most of the time with Williams, Walinchus and Heller, a sophomore, fitting into the halfback posts.
 Jim McMurdo. Ed Hirschbers and Paul Collins have been used at ends and Hart Morris and Mike Mil lisan at guards. Jess Quatse and Charlie Tully. last years tackles. are back and another veteran is Ralph Daugherty, center.
 Donchess and Montgomery. al- though lost to the team as players. are back as assistant coaches. Along with Bill Kern, and Hank Hangartner. another newcomer to the coaching staff. they are concen- trating on the linemen while Andy Gustafson and Sutherland spend most of their time with the backs.
 The schedule:
 Sept. 27, Waynesburg; Oct. 4, West Virginia at Morgantown; Oct. II. Western Reserve at Cleveland, Oct. IS, Syracuse at Syracuse; Oct. 25, Notre Dame; Nov. l. Nebraska at Lincoln; Nov. s, Carnegie Tech; Nov. 15. Ohio State at Columbus Nov. 27, Penn State.

NEW HAVEN WILL
 WATCH CARNERA
Italian Giant to Make Last
 American Showing Tuesday

New Haven. Sept. 27-Match- maker Al Caroly of the Arena A. C. is doing his best to give New Haven and state boxing fans a good look at Primo Camera and that explains the reason why the huge Venetian is taciling three heavyweights Tues day night at the Arena for two rounds each instead of one over a scheduled ten round route. Know ing he would be unable to sign a lone heavyweight capable of giving the Man Mountain anything that would look like a fight, and fearing the cash customers wouldn't get a fair run for their money, the popu- lar Arena matchmaker has signed three, Charlie Anderson of Chicago. Dan Risko of Stamford, and Fred Caldore of Philadelphia to share for two rounds each the doubtful pleas ure of absorbing enough of Car nera's punches to make the eve ming interesting enough for the cash customers
 Each fighter weighs over 205 pounds and each stands over six feet tall but they all will be dwarfed in comparison to the gigantic hulk of the Man Mountain
 For, if anyone doubts that Car nera is a big boy for his age, here are his measurements: Age. 23 years height, 6 feet inches; wrist, IL inches; forearm. II inches; thigh, 80 inches; ankle, inches; calf. l9 inches; reach, S4 inches; chest. normal, A inches; chest ex- banded, 56 inches; weight. 270 to 2SO pounds neck. q inches; waist, 5S inches. That's plenty of man. almost two of any other heavy weight in the game today but. for all his bulk and size. the Venetian steps around the ring with all the speed and grace of man 100 pounds lighter.
 In fact. the ease and grace with which Camera carries on his opera tions in the ring are what have at tracted countless thousand support CTS to him during the eight months he has been campaigning in this country. Boxing critics who have been raving over him ever since he started to show his real worth in the ring, contend that a fighter of Camera size and bulk but who moves around with all the speed and poise oi a light heavyweight will be mighty hard to keep from the top of the pile. Despite his bulk. he fights on his toes. is shifty and hits from any position For full references. ask Riccardo Bortazzola. former Italian cham pion, or any of his later opponents. Jimmy Maloney of Boston will be able to provide real references in side of two weeks
