AMERICAN LEAGUl

You will note from this that
the Giants are the only team with
a sporting chance in the National
and the YankS have virtually none
at all in the American.
Cards Beat Pirates
The Pirates case is almost hope
less. They are II games back in
the "loSt" column so that If the
Cards win only II Of their re-
naming % games, the Pirates
would have to win all % of theirs
even to tie. The Cubs have lost
five games more than the Cards
and with only % games left the
odds against them should be at
least 20 to /.
You have to like those Cardi
mails. They may be rough and
they may be tough but they play
plenty Of baseball and when the
chips are down they always seem
to have what it takes.
They put the cruSher on the
Pirates yesterday by taking a pair
43 in 16 innings and to- il
six, halted by darkness. They
seemed licked in the opener when
they went into the ninth trailing
by two runs but they never quit
trying and they tied up on two
passes, Gilbert's hit and Arky
Vaughan'S tumble. Arky probably
would gladly give up a large slice
of his 400 batting average if he
could recall that boot.
With the score tied the Cards
rushed in Paul Dean and he held
the Pirates at bay until Medwick
and Collins teamed their hits in
the sixteenth. Dizzy Dean then
came on to win the nightcap for
his twenty.third victory which,
with Paul'S IS puts close to the
40 to ~ Dizzy prepicted they'd
win.
The Giants and Phils and
Dodgers and Braves were washed
out by rain but the Cubs played
in a drizzle to split a pair with
the Reds. Warneke won the first
one, 3 to 1 but young Gene Schott
held the Cubs to six hits and took
the second game, ~.
Tigers Take Two
In the Junior circuit, the Tigers
played morning and afternoon
but it doesn't make much differ
ence when they play, they kept
right on winning. Thirty-two
thousand fans quit breakfast to
see Schoolboy Rowe win a
pitchers battle from Johnny
Whitehead, 6 to i. Whitehead
gave only six hits one Of which
was a homer by Rowe himself
Rowe gave the White Sox only
five. Another large crowd came
back after lunch to see Eldon
Auker shut out the Sox, SO on
seven hits.
The YankS and AS were washed
out but the Browns and Indians
and Senators and Red SoX split
doubleheaders. Andrews gave the
Indians only five hits to win, Al
but Pearson retaliated by holding
the Browns to three hits to take
the second game, To.

DiScovery's performances under
high weights inspire discussions,
wherever veteran horsemen gather,
as to the great weight packers OF
all time. A notable one was Cllf-
ford, a magnificent thoroughbred
who used to campaign at Chi
cago, New York and st. Louis, as
L. M. Marshall, a racing old timer
of that last.named city could tell
you, for he wagered on Clifford
often and successfully.
At the Hawthorne track in 1893,
when that Chicago course was
young, Clifford drew 1873 pounds
in a stake for 3-year.olds. And so
far did he outclass available com
petition that none would start
against him; he walked over for
the prize. Later on at the same
track Clifford was given 40
pounds in handicap at a mile
and a quarter-and him only a
3-year-old, against aged horses!
Over an exceptionally heavy track
Clifford was beaten slight mar
gins by two lightly weighted
5-year.olds.
Clifford won better than two
out Of every three of the 81 races
in which he ran. Scoring AZ vic
tories, he was out Of the money
only twice in his career. Let those
who think Equipoise was the Won
der horse of racing compare his
record with Clifford's some time
not that Equipoise wasn't a grand
race horse, and not that he could
not have beaten Clifford a time
or two. Would that American
racing had more like them both
every year.
Clifford should have won the
first $4,000 Derby ever run IN
this or any other country: the
American Derby at the first
Washington Park in Chicago.
That race was run in Worlds Fair
wear, 1898, and Chicago never
knew a hotter day. Starting bar
riers were not used the
horses lined up and broke away
at the starters signal and II
the starter did not think the
break a fair one he would signal
the jockeys to pull and come back
for another trV at it,
Statisticians, not 1orseeing that
the IS Derby candidates would be
at the post an hour and a half
before getting off. neglected to
keep tab on the false breakaways
in that American Derby. Later
they estimated there were at
least 35 false starts before the
real one and that was struggling,
with Clifford off in the ruck. In
those false breaks Clifford must
have galloped and trotted very
near to two miles. He finished
third.
In a special race at Hawthorne,
Clifford (still three) beat two OF
the crack handicap racers Of that
time: Yo Tam0ien and Lamp,
lighter, and beat them by eight
lengths, in a canter at weights
for age. In later years, he talcked,
and either beat or brought to a
driver, the best racers Of the day:
Henry of Navarro . . Domino
Rev ell Santa Anita .. Ben Brush
Requital Rampo.
Aye, a rare good one was Cliff
ford. He earned for Eugene
Leigh the fortune that enabled
him in later years to go to France
and become one of the most sue
cessful trainers Of that land.

Such was the fatalistic state

ophy of life, was predestined to
travel faster on land than any
man who has ever lived on this
earth.
In his more than 20 years ex'
perience at the controls of record
breaking racers, Sir Malcolm has
shattered the worlds fastest mark
four times. He established the
present record of 272 miles pei
hour on the speedway beach here
two years ago, driving the Blue
Bird, which has been completely
overhauled for another attempt
this year.
Slightly impatient, though con
fident and wholly unafraid, the
titled Englishman awaits favorable
conditions so that he may once
more tempt the fate that has
dealt so kindly with him in the
past. He said today:
whether death comes to me

manner, it will come when it is

US. To BORROW
PENS|ONFUND
international News Service


The Administration, it was dis.
closed today, is planning to use
the far-flung economic security
plan as a means of financing the
steadily mounting public debt.
The plan, sanctioned by the
Treasury, calls for use of gigan-
tic old-age pension reserves to buy
Government bonds.
In time, with the rapid increase
in payroll and earnings taxes
proposed to finance the economic
security plan, the Government
may wipe out private bond
holdings.
Under the program developed
by the Treasury, interest on the
public debt can be practically
frozen at 3 per cent. This now
is about the average rate of long
and short-tern indebtedness.
With the Treasury named GUS
todian of the compulsory pension
fund, the Treasury can borrow
money from it, and bonds can
be retired. The proposed law re-.
quires the Treasury to pay per
cent interest on the reserves.
Within IS years, actuarieS esti.
mate, the pension fund vii reach
the huge sum of $4,000 million
dollars. The reserve is estimated
to reach $4,000 millions by 1880.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September Wheat
prices went moderately higher today
in q somewhat more aggressive trade.
Buying character was prompted largely
by strength at Liverpool. Private esti-
mates on the Spring wheat crop,
while construed as bullish, failed to
bring IN any additional purchasing
power worthy of note.
After the crop figures were given
the trade, the market was inclined to
sag o bit. The average placed the
crop at ISL ,000, 900 bushels, or a.
900 900 bushels loss during the month
Of August as compared with Govern
ment estimate. Based on reports Of
Chicago statisticians, the Canadian
production is 2ss, 200, 900 bushels.
Liverpool wheat strength was trace
able to a scarcity of sellers, insufficient
deliverable stocks and an improved
demand for Canadian wheat.
In commenting on the Spring wheat
crop both in our Northwest and in
Western Canada. H. c. Donovan Of
Thomson e. McKinnon says: THE
big problem that remains is that Of
using the poor quality wheat being
harvested. Much wheat will be need
ed for mixing. with the most likely
solution the importation Of substan-
tial quantities Of last years Canadian
crop"
The Snow-Bartlett Frazier report
for September / confirms the wheat
crop losses shown in the special sur
vey of August Is as having occurred
after the regular monthly report OF
August /. The condition Of Spring
wheat at time of harvest dropped to
39.9 with one exception the lowest
ever reported. Threshing returns to
date indicate q rate OF yield when
apportioned to the seeded area OF
about To bushels per acre, or a total
Spring wheat crop OF Isl 0,000
bushels. This may be roughly re-
garded as representing l28,000,000 Of
bread wheat and 100000 Of durum.
The milling value Of the crop is much
lower than mere production figures
would show, as the weight of bread
wheat is far below normal and a con-
siderable part of the reported crop
only represents animal feed.
Final threshing returns for Winter
wheat vary but slightly from the fig
ures reported month ago standing at
1871 bushels per acre and making a
crop of 100000 bushels. There
has been heavy damage in the shock
from excessive rain and sprouting
grain, especially marked in Ohio and
Michigan, with enough damage in the
aggregate to lower milling value ap-
probably.
Corn was heavily damaged by heat
and lack Of moisture irregularly in
Iowa and Missouri and generally and
severely west of the Missouri River.
