'CABBY' STREET
LEADS CARDINALS
TO CHAMPIONSHIP
BY LELAND L. CHESLEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. y. (U.H-
The st. Louis Cardinals were Ma
tional League champions today as
result of the greatest pennant dash
since that of the Boston Braves in
1914.
BY defeating Pittsburgh here yes
terday, 10 to ), the Cardinals c'inch-
ed their third pennant III five seas
ons and eliminated drive for the
flag which only got under way on
August first, and did not assume
spectacular power until 90 days
later.
Bringing the pcnnant battle to a
close on September % meant some
thing more to phlegmatie Charles
"Gabby' Street, manager of the
club, than fans had previously sup
posed. Twelve years ago on Sept
26, Street, then sergeant in the first
GAS regiment, chemical warfare dl-
vision, laid down a smoke balrage
for infantry starting the Ar9onne
drive.
But since August first, Street, in
Lis first year as manager of blg
league club, has laid down other
barragcs, that topplcd the p2nnant
hopes of the Cubs, Giants and
Robins.
On that date, Street, distressed
bv injuries to his regulars ami the
loss of numerous games by one run.
had about relinquished hope Of his
team finishing better than at the
tail end of the first division. Street
thought he had a 'grcat ball club
hut the punch was somehow lacking
The Cardinals were sunk deep IN
fourth place. They had won AS
games and lost 40 Since then they
have won 43 and lost but Il, feat
that has caused Street to become
known here as The Miracle Man.
Start Big Push
How the drive started, no one
seems accurately to know. The an
nounccmcnt of President Sam Brea-
don that Street had been signed for
another wear had some effect, but
Street believes the team just .'ound
itself. The Cards had fair success
in the beginning of their drive,
winning Is games and losing seven
up to August 20th, when the big
push started.
On that day the Giants were here
for their last appearance of the
season. The McGraw team had TAX
en- two of the three games of the
series played, and were leading to
O in the final Suddenly the Cardi-
nails came to life, and smashed out

After that victory, the Cardinals
swept to the pcnnant and won 2o
games out of "a played.
The Cardinals record against OPP
ronents since August | follows:
With Chicago, won three, lost
four; Cincinnati, Won 10, lost none;
Brooklyn, won seven, lost one; BoS-
ton. won five, lost three; New
York. won five, lost three; Pitts

WATCHING The
SC0REB0ARD

With the two pennant races decid-
cd and the MAJOR leagues ending
their 1880 season Sunday, baseball
fans today looked forward to the
opening of the world series between
the Philadelphia Athletics and ST.
Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia
Wednesday.
The Cardinals elinchcd the Ma
tional League pcnnant-thcir third
in five years, having won III 1926
and 192S-ycsterday by defeating
Pittsburgh, 1913. The Cards have
two more games 70 play against the
Pirates today and tomorrow, and
then will turn their attention to
wards their battle with the Athle-
ties.
All positions in the National
League race have been determined
except third place. The New York
Giants today held half game lead
over the Brooklyn Robins, who,
however, can pass the Giants before
nightfall if they win doubleheader
from the Boston Braves and the
Giants lose, or go into tie with
New York if the Giants win.
The Cubs won the only other Ma

Today the boxing fans Of the city
are continuing the argument started
last night at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club, when Referee Bill
fackett gave the decision to Don
Pritchard over Homer Gaines.
Supporters OF Gaines booed the
decision Justify ana others who want
cd to see Homer laid flat decided the
decision was okay.
TO us it was not good fight by
ten thousand miles, but we'd give
the decision to Homer, who did some
thing, while Pritchard didn't do a
thing until the ninth and tenth
rounds and then he did but little.
Homer didn't demonstrate that
punch that we heard so much. about
last week, and to all appearances
was the same old slapping Homer,
with barrels of speed, a pcnchant for
"circus' stuff and unable to throw
straight punches.
Pritchard couldn't catch him for
eight rounds He did manage to cor
ner him often in the ninth and tenth,
PLAYING away on IIomer's midriff,
but punches that looked as though
there were doing something were
being blocked by Ilomer's elbows,
which he kept well down across his
weak spot. Gaines caught his man
coming in time and again, but al
WAYS il was with looping blow
that landed with smack and did
not damage. Each time that Prit-
chard tried to land a right, he sent
It letter in advance and Gaines
might rs well have been over III
Yuma for all the chance Pritchard
had to hit him.
But Gaines did land blows. They
didn't hurt but they scored, and
on this alone we think the colOrcd
boy was entitled 10 the decision, for
Pritchard couldn't even Slap.
Neither boy was hurt throughout the
scrap.
Pritchard showed very little for
= fellow who is supposed to have
waded in with bows like Billy Town
send Wildcat Carter and similar
fighting men. Compared to Gaines
he was as slow as n box car and his
only effective work was when h"
stuck his head on Homer's chest and
sent weak blows to the black boy s
tummv.
Wen disagree with Bill Tackctt
again on the semi-final. Johnny
Hill took the decision over Johnny
Blair, after Il mighty good fighr,
which looked as good q draw as we
lave seen in some time, with the
shade going to Blair if any decision
was to be given.
Blair Starts Slowly
Blair got off to slow start, let
ting Hill take the first two rounds
The marine showed ability to beat
Blair to it every time, and shook
the Utica boy up considerably.
Blair woke up in the third and
took that round and the next with
out any chance for dispute, rocking
the San Diego loatherncck with hard
blows to the face which had him
bleeding throughout the two rounds
Hill kept coming in all the time and
never hcsitated to swap blow fol
blow.
The fifth was 4 fairly even round,
with a shade going to Blair by vir'
tue of harder punching. Hill had
tired more than his opponent and his
blows lacked steam. He put on
something of rally in the final
round but not any more than "a
equal Blair's shade in the fifth.
II was the sort of fight fans like
to watch, both boys being ready and
willing at all times

trouncing in the second round of his
fight with Santiago Atadero. when
