down the stairs" sobbed Mrs. Bell. "I
shouted to them and heard them in

the baby. She and Mary were asleep
in the rear bed room.
The smoke was so thick I had to
feel my way down the stairway, but I
was positive the children were right
behind me-"
The father Of the children, John Bell.

YANKS' EARLY RUNS.

Champs Cross Plate Five
Times in Opening Round
of 60 TusSIe.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CT. LOUIS. September 1.-THE
New York Yankees opened the
final series of their Western tour
with a five-run rally in the first
inning and a 6-to-4 victory over the
st. Louis Browns today.
1t was the champions 103d victory
of the season, their 147th game OF the
wear without suffering shutout ana
their 2O2d in a row since the last time
they were Alanked.
The Yanks did lot of shifting IN
their lineup. but had no trouble after
the big first frame. Lou Gehrlg played
only one inning to continue his con-
secutive game record. and then byn
Larry replaced him. Roy Schalk. late
of Oklahoma City, who reported today,
played the whole game at second base
and Joe Glenn again caught.
A walk to Schalk, Combs single ana
an error by Melillo started the Yanks
scoring. Chapman hit another single,
and then Sammy Byrd drove into the
left field bleachers for a home run with
two aboard.
St. Louis scored a pair of runs in
the third on the second OF Fred
Schulte's three doubles, singles by Burns
and Goslin and force-out- They
got two more in the sixth when Melillo
singled and Scharein and Schultz each
hit for two bases. Singles by Schalk
and Sewell and Combs double netted
the Yanks their final run in the fifth.

Victory "Thaws" Somerville
Poker.F aced New Amateur Champ, Silent Through.
out Tourney, Crins and Talks.

He explained to newspapermen
why he looked so sour during the
matches. He's very bashful and it
seems he felt that a stranger in
another country should be quiet. He
was afraid he might appear to be
talking some one out of a match"
Back home his friends say he's
cheerful, talkative links champion.
As he gave Somerville the gold
medal and trophy, President H. H.
Ramsay of the United States Golf
Association said he knew of no
golfer in the Dominion Of Canada
who could carry on the traditions
associated with this championship
better than Ross.
Johnny Goodman, braced up by
a long-distance call from Omaha,
was smiling broadly as he came
down for the presentation. The pop
ular little star received big hand
from the crowd, as he came to the
trophy table just ahead of Somer-
vile. Ramsay told Goodman that to
be a f1nalist in this tournament
should be sufficient honor for any
golfer in the world.
Somerville, who is a wealthy in
surance actuary and owner of
chicle factory plans to be an anna
teur all the way. He won't do any
ghost writing for the newspapers
and he'll play very few exhibition
matches.
However, one Of his first state
ments was a promise that he'd be
back in this country several times
before the next championship to
give American golfers all the cracks
they wanted at him.

Cream of '32 Crop
In American Loop
Base Ball Writer'S Association

Base Ball Writer'S Association
of America, with a board OF
newspaper men casting the bal
lots, as formerly, and will be
announced a few weeks hence.
In advance of announcement
of the recognized consensus
this department is presenting
herewith it's selections for the
honor which in the past has
been conferred upon three
Washington players - Walter
Johnson, Roger Peckinpaugh
and Joe Cronin. They are con-
fined to the American League,
as we do not feel qualified to
pass on athletes in the rival
circuit, some of whom we never
see.
After scanning the accom-
panying list many of the fans,
no doubt, will decide we have
no license to do any picking
at all, but that is only to be
expected, this being a highly
controversial subject, and it
adds to the interest of the
thing.
IN the case Of Gehrig, Foxx
i and Averill strenuous dis
senting may be expected
from admirers of Gomez, Grove
or Simmons, and WeS Ferrell.
But despite the fact Heinie
Manush has done a fine job this
year, as have Monte Weaver
and AL Crowder, there is no
question with us but that Joe
Cronin is entitled to the vote
for the Washington club. IT
there is any doubt, settle it this
way: Which could the club
best afford to do without?
Gehringer, in our opinion, is
by far the best of the Tigers,
but Rick Ferrell was designated
for the Browns only after cogi-
tation regarding Goslin, while
the seventh and eighth places
gave us more difficulty than all
of the others combined. Neither
the White nor Red Sox possess
any StandoutS, and Hayes and
Jolley were picked only be-
cause the rules require that a
player be named for each club.

NEW YORK, September II P.-

NEW YORK, September II (P.-
~ A second postponement Of the
Mickey waIker-Max Schmeling
heavyweight bout until Monday,
September 26, was announced to-
night by Madison Square Garden.
The postponement was decided
upon after an examination of a
wound on Walkers forearm revealed
it had not yet healed Dr. Vincent
Nardiello. representing the New York
State Athletic Commission, recon-
mended that the former welter-
weight and middleweight champion
be given a few more days in which
to reach prime physical condition.
Originally the bout was to have
been held tomorrow night, but boil
developed on Walkers forearm dur
ing training and had to be lanced.
Mickey then asked postponement
until September %, and this was
granted.
The wound, however, failed to heal
as quickly as had been expected, the
Gardens announcement said, and
second postponement was decided
upon.
Approval of the new date was
given by the Athletic Commission.
The bout. l5-round affair, will be
held in the Garden Bowl in Long

tions to the first foreigner to win

w YITH the Yankees merely
AN/ marking time till the
v Y start of the world
series 10 days hence
and the Cubs all but assured of
beating out the Pirates for the
right to oppose them, there are
only a few bits of unfinished
business in the pennant pa
radeS this year.
One is the struggle Washing
ton is making to achieve Sec
ond-place money in the Ameri-
can League at the expense of
the Mackmen. Prospects at
this writing are far from rosy,
with the Griffs trailing by two
and one-half games and only a
few engagements left to play,
although the skirmishes sched-
uled for the very last three days
of the campaign between the
two clubs give them a chance.
Much will depend upon how
Johnson's men fare in the
three-game set now under way
at Cleveland, the first of which
they lost yesterday, for there
is more than just a mathemati-
cal possibility the Indians yet
will be able to climb a notch
in the race. AS a matter of fact,
clean sweep for the Peckmen
may send the Griffs into a skid
that will land them at the bot
tom of the first division.

fourth and fifth places remains
to be settled, while the Giants
