REDWOOD HIGH SCHEDULE

The only home game before Christ
mas will be played against the Sleepy
Eye cagers December II at the Lin
coin school gymnasium. A prelimin-
airy game will be played between the
two Junior highs. Coach F. E. Christ
ensen started practice with the Junior
High Monday night.
Because two tournaments are to
decide the district title this year in
stead of one as in former years, the
playing season has been cut down
considerably. The Redwood Falls
basketeers will play only ten games
before entering the sub-district tour
nament which is to be held in the Lin
coin school auditorium February 26
and 81. Another sub-district tourna-
ment will be held at New Ulm to pick
a winner and runner-up to compete
in the district tournament at Spring
field March and 5.
The new system is expected to pro-
vide better Journeys by wedding out
the weaker teams and will give three
cities of the district the benefit of a
tourney instead of one.
All games here will be played in the
school gymnasium and as far as the
scheduled is planned, each high school
game will be preceded by a Junior
High game. The high school band
and cheer leaders will add to the
spirit.
The following basketball aspirants

CINCINNATI REDS PROVING PESTS TO
 HORNSBY'S CUBS
Howleymen Win Fifth Straight Game From Wrigleymen-Hallahan Tames Pirates
By l.. S. CAMERON


 New York, Sept 5-UP)-1t Is too bad for the devoted fans of Cincinnati, who haven't had a pennant winner since the dear, dear days of 1921, that their be- loved Reds could not have played all their 1881 games with the Ch1- cago Cubs.
 For the Redlegs, just set-up for the other clubs in the league, are flood, fire and psstilence to the Chicagos. They proved this once again yesterday when they whip ped the Cubs for the fifth straight time. The score was 12 to 3.
 The defeat did not cost the Chi cagos third place. however, as the New York Giants trimmed the fourth-place Brooklyn Robins, 5 to 0. Bill Walker held the Robins to eight scattered hits.
 The Giants now trail the leading St Louis Cards by seven games.
 wild Bill' Hallahan lived up to his nickname as the Pittsburg pi- rates defeated the Cards 3 to l. With the score tied at one all in the eighth, the St Louis southpaw
 
 two hits which gave the Pirates their winning tallies.
 Strong pitching by Phil Collins and heavy featured Philadelphia $ II to 1 triumph over the Boston Braves.
 In the American league Wash ington's Senators strengthened their grip on second place by de- VnrlT a 5 to 4 in ten innnigs, Myer, Wash ington second baseman, was the big star of the game. It was his double that tied the score in the eighth and his single that drove over the winning run in the tenth.
 Philadelphia's leading Athletics took a double-header from the Boston Red Sox, to O, and 6 to 1. Lefty Grove allowed the Red Sox but three hits in the opening game. Waite Hoyt allowed but seven hits in winning the night cap.

HARTNETT EXCELS
 IN JASPERSPLAY

The pace of the preseason foot ball practice at Manhattan College was speeeded up yesterday after noon when coach Johnnie Law sent the squad of forty candidates through a hard workout. The five hour double session was featured by the seasons first contact work.
 The morning work was light. The backfield candidates held kicking and passing drills, and then re- hearsed their repertoire of running plays under the direction of assist ant coach Frank Shay. The ends worked on the bucking machine and were schooled in footwork and use of the hands by Ed Koski. The linemen performed under the ob- servation of coach Law, who illus trated the technique of offensive play. After a brief signal drill the squad was dismissed.
 After the preliminary exercises in the afternoon, the Jaspers don- ned headguards and shoulder pads for the first time. Three backfields went through plays and practiced blocking the ends. A first string quartet of captain Del Negro, quar- terback; Nal Thomas, left half back; Ed Ashkar, right halfback, and Pete Battle, fullback, was the most impressive.
 The linemen also rehearsed of- fensive blocking. with the guards receiving the most attention. They were drilled in coming out of the line to bloc kthe defensive tackles. Bill Yuda and Dick Ciccolla. veter- ans, looked good as did Ed La France and Bill Hartnett, sopho- more candidates.

'LARRIVEE GOOD BOY
 QUOTES NICHOLS

Fans at the Lakewood arena wondered how Leo Larivce of Waterbury managed to stay the full 10 rounds with hard hitting George Nichols of Buffalo in their encounter several weeks ago at Boston after watching Nichols score a quick knockout over Battling Archie last night. Here's what Nichols has to say of Lea: "A game kid who ought to go far in the profession. In our fight I hit him with every thing I had and yet he kept coming in for more. In the eighth round I caught him beautiful punch that lifted him nearly a foot from the canvas and sent him to the floor. He was out, and thought finished. He surprised everyone and me in particular when he got up at the count of nine and then car- ried the fight to me for the rec mainder of the bout. The kids young but he has everything. He can sock, believe me, has a nice style and is aggressive. He's good"

Back in 1913, Outmet was called the finest golfer in this country by Jerome D. Travers, famous old champion, and after 19 years the bespectacled Bostonian remains one of Americas outstanding play CTS.
 For an opponent ouimet had a young Chicago. broker who has qualified in only one previous na- tional amateur tournament and has bounded from obscurity within five days.
 Ouimet Favored Experience and a methodical game which never wavers despite an opponents rally or lapse. made Ouimet a favorite to succeed Bob- by Jones, retired titleholder now plodding the links as a reporter of the game.
 Described by contestants and gallery as a "fishy-cold" competi- tor, Westland promised to give Ouimet one of the most trying tests of his long and mercurial career. Between draughts from tall frosted glass, Westland remarked in Beverly's noisy crowded locker room after yesterdays matches:
 Wouldn't 1t be great if Ouimet could win back the title he held so long? Right now almost hope he wins it but tomorrow I'll feel diff ferent and I'll be out there trying as hard as I know how to win from him." tt
 No Fear of Veteran
 "Do you have any fear of Ouimet because of his experience and steady play?"
 Absolutely none," the slim Chicagoan answered. I've been playing this game of golf since I was IS and it's uncertain as the stock market. Today on the heights tomorrow in the depths"
 The long, hard climb to the fin- als ended yesterday when Ouimet. down to an opponent for the first time during the tournament, tri- umphed over young Billy Howell. Richmond, Va, in see-saw match which was squared seven times. Ouimet's magic butter won for him on the 35th hole, 2 and 1. Mccarthy Eliminated In the other seminal Westland conquered Maurice J. Mccarthy, Jr New York. son of professional golfer, 3 and 2. Westland's ability to outplay his opponent on the first nine holes of each round once more proved the winning margin for the slender Chicagoan.
 It was on the first nine that Westland shot a 33, three under par, to lead the first days qualify ing. Against Mccarthy he shot a 37, one over par, in the morning and finished all even. but he shot another 37 in the afternoon and won five holes while losing only one.
 Mccarthy staged comeback after he found himself down at the end of 27 holes. and reduced Westland's lead to up and to play but he waited too long to be- gin his rally.
 One of the remarkable things about Westland's game Is his man. ner of putting. After he lines up his putt and hits the ball he does not raise his eyes until the ball either drops or misses the cup.

 The old "Manassa Mauler' weighed 196 pounds when he en- tered the ring last night against Jimmy Byrnes, 203.
 Dempsey did not try to knock out the coast bay fighter. Several times the fighters stood toe to toe in the center of the ring and slug ged it out. Dempsey was the win ner every time, but he took con siderable punishment himself. He stood 1t well. ,,
 He's the best I've met so Tar. Dempsey said after the fight. id like to meet him again"
