contest between the two teams,
6 to O..
Two games opened the season
locally yesterday, with Central de-
feating Dewitt Prep, 7 to 6, and
Tech losing to George Washington
High, of Alexandria, IL to 7.
Central triumphed over Dewitt
by virtue Of a late rally which
came in the closing minutes. A
passing attack actually put the
score across, when Billy Richard
son heaved to Sam Fox, lanky
end. Johnny Jones kicked the ex-
ira point.
Dewitt held the upper hand be-
fore these eleventh-hour thrilling
moments. A touchdown was
scored in the third quarter when
a 44-yard march was good. A pass
from Granier to Hardy brought
the touchdown. Askin's placekick
for the extra point was wide.
Techs game against George
Washington High was quite sur
prising, in that the Techmen
failed to show the power expected.
The team took a 7-to-0 lead in the
first quarter when Hart passed to
Kramer, but this lead was short
lived. George Washington won
the game with IL points in the
third period.

But Chicagoans had suspected
as much for weeks, and no wild
celebration marked the clinching
of the National League pennant
by the Cubs in st. Louis yester-
day, when the result Of the game
was flashed back.
There was as much interest in
the second game when the Cubs
ran their string of consecutive
victories to 81, as in the first
when Bill Lee outpitched Dizzy"
Dean to cinch the pennant.
The Cubs began their winning
streak September 4, when Man
ager Charley Grimm called the
players into the clubhouse before
the game, reminded them they
were to play on the home lot for
18 games, and declared:
1--WE either do or we don't.
but we are going to be loose"
And the Cubs stopped press
ing and began the victorious
march that carried them to the
Rational League championship,
coming from behind the Giants
and Cardinals.
Great Record
In all but two of those 18
games the starting pitcher fin
ished, a fact of great aid to
Grimm. For Manager frankie
Frisch's pitching staff tired, he
was forced to call on two or
three hurlers in almost every
game, and as the race drew
near a conclusion was unable
to give his regular pitchers the
proper amount of rest between
assignments.
The Giants were a help and
comfort to Grimm too. Bill Ter
rvs men reused from their
August-September lethargy long
enough to whip the Cards four
out of five games in their last
Eastern trip, and then came to
Chicago tuckered out from the
strain of it all and dropped four
straight to the Cubs.
The worlds series will open
Wednesday at Navin Field, De-
troit, the third, fourth and fifth
games will be played at Wrigley
Field october 4, 5 and 6. Tickets
for the Chicago games will go on
sale at Wrigley Field Tuesday,
with no phone or mail orders ac-
cepted. Erection of temporary
bleachers, now in progress, will in.
crease the seating capacity to
$4,000.
Gabby Hartnett, Lon Warneke,
who will probably pitch the open
ing game of the series, Bill Lee
and Charley Root returned to
Chicago today to scout the Tigers
who are playing a double-header
against the White Sox today.
Predicts Tigers
Hank Greenberg, Detroit's star
first baseman, predicted today
the Tigers will whip the Cubs in
five games.
"Rowe and Bridges will win
the first two games in Detroit"
he said, "then we'll probably
lose the first one in Chicago and
Rowe and Bridges will wind up
the series in the next two games.
Those Cubs can't beat Rowe and
Bridges"
Manager Mickey Cochrane con-
firmed Greenberg's guess that
Rowe or Bridges would start the
series. He said:
"Rowe and Bridges are 60
ing to start the two games
against the White Sox today
and the one that looks best
will open the worlds series.
The other one will pitch the
second game.
"Auker and Crowder will
pitch tomOrrow's doubleheader
against the SOx and the one
that does the best job will pitch
the third series game.
"I'm glad to see the Cubs
win. They showed in the last
month that they're the stand
out team in the National
League. think it will make q
great series but I'm not making
any prediction other than that
well win"

NEW MEMBER
Well known Businessman
Is Named To Succeed
Anderson

Lionel R. jefferson was chosen
by the city council last night to
act as councilman to fill out the
vacancy caused by the resignation
of Charles E. Anderson, mayor,
who resigned his post on the board

the next council meeting.
Several routine business matttrs
were disposed of by the board and
then they took up the dicussion of
the application for federal funds to
construct a city storm drain. This
proposal had previously been turn
ed down by the council but at last
nights meeting it was approved.
A petition filed with the council
asserting that the chamber of COM
merce proposes to close Main street
from Sixth to Seventh on the night
of the Fall Opening which, it was
said, would be a detriment to sew
eral of the merchants signing the

ton of the street should not be
closed that night.
The board discussed the matter
and brought out the fact that the
city has no power to close a state
highway. However, it was pointed
out there is no intention on the
part of those sponsoring the cele-
bration to close the street entirely
for traffic but asked merely that
the south side of Main street in
that block be closed to parking SO

chants displays might be placed
there.
The council notified the petition
ers that there was no intention of
closing Main street to general traf-
fic during the celebration.

PARIS, Oct. tUP)-British jurists
today undertook a study here of the
legal aspects of preventing Italian
troopships and supply ships from
entering the Suez canal, without
closing the canal to ordinary traf-
fic of any nation.
1t was understood that the ques-
tion had been raised as to whether
such ships could not be intercept
ed"
The possibility that such Inter
ception" might be legal was based
upon the presumption that econo-
mic sanctions may be voted against
Italy by the league. The fine legal
point involved appeared to be
whether "in1erception" under such
a circumstance would constitute an
act of war or would be compatible
with an economic boycott.
