Grange Sees Open Battle In Western Conference 7hs Yea
NIEMIEC GARNERS
 TRIO OF HITS AS
 BROWNS BEAT SOX
Former Local Inielder GO- ing Great With Major
 LeaguerS

St Louis, Sept 21--Jack Burns home run with a man on base in the ninth inning gave the Browns a 4 to victory and an even break on the series with the Red Sox here yesterday afternoon. Previously the Sox had taken the lead in the first half of the frame by punching three hits to produce a pair of tallies to overcome a on-run lead held by the locals.
 Tide turns in Ninth
 Solters started the Sox ninth with a single to left. After Graham flied deep to Pepper, Solters stole second. Morgan was retired on a foul to Burns. Cooke was sent in to bat for Hinkle and cam through with a single to score Solters. Cooke took second on the throw-in and scored when Lary punched a single to right field.
 In the Browns half Gift walked, but was forced by Bejma. Burns then found one to his liking and drove 1t on top of the right, field pavilion for home run to score behind Bejma.
 Up to the fatal smash, young Merena, a left-hander, had stopped the Browns with seven hits. His pitching opponent was George Blaeholder.
 First Score in 4th
 Although Niemiec and Armada hit safely in the Sox first, the round ended when Solters slammed into a double play. The Browns also had two sfarts in half with only one out, but failed to tally. Morgan singled in the second and Niemiec in the third, but no tallies re-
 Held hitless in the second and third, the Browns put over a run in the fourth, when Pepper sinbled, went to secondon Hemsley's infield out and then advanced on wild pitch. Melillo then singled too hot for Werber and Pepper counted.
 Blaeholder walked Lary to start the fifth and Merena sacrificed. Niemiec came through with his third consecutive hit, smash to center, and Lary scored. Werber then clubbed into a double play. Double plays also helper Blaehol- der in the sixth and seventh. In the last of the sixth, Merena lost control and hit Grube and walked Strange, but Blaeholder fouled to Graham, who made a nice running catch.
 Take the Lead
 The Browns went ahead in the eighth, when Hemsley opened with a double and Grube popped single too far out for Morgan and too far in for Graham to reach.
 The Sox departed last night for New York where they open series t mirraw.

trio in college football. .,
 Look out for Bob Zuppke, of Illinois! Zup is in a good spot. The Little Napolean Is coming up with . fine team without too much be- ing expected of him. To be sure, he'll have to bank on some bright new sophomores, and newcomers usually aren't worth the powder to blow them up. But scan Zup- pke's record and you'll find that many of his best teams have been heavily salted with first year men. Zup can shine up raw material as fast, If not faster, than anyone in the coaching business.
 Iowa began to pick up last year, and will make plenty of trouble for everybody. But don't think Oss.e Solem won't miss ole Laws. This great back showed us plenty of football in the College All-Star- Chicago Bears game last month not only in carrying, but in block ing as well. He's hard running boy and we ranked him as the top back in the college squad on his performance.
 Incidentally our Bear linemen were convinced that Bernard, Of Michigan, wasn't over-rated. Kra use, of Notre Dame also played baae-up football in that game.
 Kipke Has Job
 Harry, kipke will miss Bernard this year, along with Everhardus, Wistert, Petoskey, and other stall warts. He has Regeczi, Renner and oliver as a nucleus of his run ming and kicking attack Austin at tackle, Ford at center, Hildebrard 1t guard, and Ward at end cer- kainly give the Wolverines the Backbone of a godo line.
 Kipke will put a team on the lield which knows how to block and tackle = the best system" vet. devised.
 Nobel Kizer, who is at last at- kaining the prominence he long has deserved, has a good all-around backfield in Purvis alone. Purvis comes closer to being, the reincar- nation of George Gipp than any back of recent football.
 Duane is big, strong and fast, can block, kick, carry the ball, pass and receive passes. and do any one of those things as well as any spe- cialist in college football. On top of that, he Is a fine competitive athlete.
 Makes No Predictions
 Ohio State, under a new men, tor, Francis Schmidt, called from Texas Christian, will have flashy backfield, but will have to con- vert some of his backs into ends and linemen to get good, strong front wall.
 At Northwestern the reverse may be true. Dick Hanley will likely have good line but will have to look to his new talent for scoring backs, unless Wally Cruice begins to run as hard in games as he does in practice. Cruice may eome through.
 Not until I have seen the boys In actual warfare will extend my neck and attempt to predict which teams are really going to market. | have yet to get a line on Chicago, Indiana and Wisconsin, although l hear. that Bo McMillin Is expert. snenting with five-man Hoosier backfield.
 Seven men must be on the line of scrimmage on the offense. of course. As I get 1t, McMillin plans kc have one of the five backs leap Into the line in the last split sec- and before the ball in snapped. Win, lcsse, or draw, McMillin will have . colorful team out there on hhe ehalked lines.
