DODGERS UPSET
 PHILLY EAGLES IN NIGHT GAME
10000 Watch Brooklyn Score lS.O National
 League Victory

New York, Oct. 6-The Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in a National Football league game before 10000 spectators at Eb- bets Field last night. The score was 18-0.
 Brooklyn gained Q g to o advan- tage in the first half, making a field goal and 8 touchdown in the second quarter.
 The first quarter was llneventful, neither eleven flashing any susT tained offensive. The rivals punted frequently, hoping to gain @ break by the exchanges, but for the most part they were just as unsuccessful as they were in trying to reel of yardage when in possession of the ball.
 Although the Eagles had two first downs to none for Brooklyn, they were unable to penetrate into the Dodgers territory. The Dodgers once managed to advance 4 yards past midfield, but then were forced to punt.
 WuSOu AUtcECCptS 6SSS
 Early in the second quarter the home eleven kicked to Philadel- phia's IS, and on the next play Smukler's forward pass was inter- cepted by Wilson, former Southern Methodist star. Wilson grabbed the ball and dashed a few yards to Phil- adelphia's 31.
 Three plays netted 3 yards, so on fourth down Ralph Kercheval tried 8 placement kick from the 38-yard mark. With Wilson holding the ball, Kercheval booted it cleanly between the uprights for a field goal.
 AS the half was nearing its con- clusion Roy (Father) Lumpkin dup Heated Wilson's feat, plucking a pass tossed by John Kusko and daShing 35 yards to the Philadelphia 35. Again in scoring position, the Dod- gers quickly capitalized. On the first play mark Temple ripped through right tackle for 8 touchdown. Ray Fuqua's placement trying for the extra point was wide.
 Brooklyn Kicks Of
 The Dodgers then kicked oil, but the half CT ed after a line play.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates and Chi cago Bears continued to lead the Eastern and Western divisions of the National Football League today although the Pirates record was marred by 8 defeat.
 Pirates Defeated
 The Pirates, who had won three straight, dropped 27-9 decision to the Bears who scored 8 pair of touchdowns through the air.
 The Boston Red Skins were de- feated TO, by the New York Giants who scored their first victory of the season by recovering 8 tumble in the second period and scoring from the 35-yard line when Tuffy Lee mans sliced through tackle for a touchdown.
 The Chicago Cardinals lost their third game of the season and their second straight to the Green Bay Packers. The Packers triumphed 24-0 and held third place in the Western division.
 The Detroit Lions, defending league champions, were idle.
 In the only American League game, Pittsburgh defeated Syracuse 27-16.

JOHNNY MOORE FINISHES WITH
 .32S AVERAGE
PhiIIy OutfeId Eighth Best Eastman in National
 League

New York, Oct. 6.-UP)-Psul Waner, Pittsburg outfielder, won the National league batting crown for 1886 with a mark of .373, for the third time in his career, com- plete unof1cial averages for tine major leagues showed today.
 Waner, in 5S4 times at bat, got 218 hits-151 singles, 53 two-bag- gers, nine triples and five home runs-to repeat his accomplishments of 1927 and 1894 when he topped the senior loop with .380 and 1882 respectively. It marked the sev- enth time that Waner had made more than 200 safeties and tied the modern major league record held by Rogers Hornsby.
 For the first time in the history of the American league a Chicago White Sox player, Luke Appling, won that batting championship. His mark of 1888, which topped his nearest competitor by 10 points, was the result of hitting safely 204 times in 526 attempts. Six of them were homers, seven triples, 30 two baggers, and the rest singles.
 Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants was by far the best major league pitcher, winning 26 while losing six for an average of .813. His total victories was the most in either league, and the 16 wins in TOW that he ran up at the end of the season tied the modern league rec ord of Wood, Johnson, Rowe and Grove.
 American league pitching honors went to Irving (Bump) Hadley of the New York Yankees with a per- centage of .778 for winning IA while losing four.
 Gehrig Homer King
 Lou Gehrig of the Yankees ran away with home run honors, hitting 49 to tie his own previous best mark set in 1884, while Mel Ott of the Giants hit B to win the National league title.
 Tommy Bridges of Detroit won the most games of any American league pitcher, 8, and for the sec- ond straight year struck out the most batsmen, 173. Wes Terrell of Boston for the second year hurled th0 most innings, 301, allowed the most hits, 330 and pitched the most complete games, 28. Lefty Grove of Boston blanked the opposition six times to lead in shutouts.
 The rookie pitching sensation of thS year, 17-year-old Bob Teller of Cleveland, struck out IT batsmen on Sept. 13 to tie the modern major league record and break the Ameri- can league mark of IS set by Rube Waddell in 1908.

TONIGHT FIGHT CHATTER

New York, Oct. 5. = Tony Can- zoneri and Jimmy McLarnin are about to do Q fine job of rounding out their careers and heels at the same time.
 Their return 10-round match at the Garden, tonight, furnishes ad- ditional proof that fighting men seldom know when they have had enough.
 Ordinarily, beak busters stick to their wearing trade for the wife and kiddies or coffee and cakes, but here we have the strange spectacle of two of the wealthiest products of pugilism pounding each other for no reason at all other than more money.
 Canzoneri's spectacular victory over McLarnin last spring still lives viyidly in the minds of New York ringworms and the second edition figures to attract a capacity turnout. Aside from that, no definite purpose is seen in reviv- ing Tony and Jimmy. As far as adding anything to their records, the scrap means nothing in par ticular to either.
 Both have hurtled rapidly down. ward from the pinnacle of their best days.
 E Mckarrin was relegated to fisti- |anass scrap heap when Canzonert dropped him four or i've times and all but knocked him out in the memorahie upset of several months ago. Canzoneri himself would have fallen down in another couple of rounds, and more recently appeared ttsstined for retirement after being shorn of his lightweight wreath by Lou Ambers.

What with the world series and the slick job that Ell Yale's football team turned in against Cornell last Saturday, the patrons were more than . little sports-minded over the weekend, judging from the re- marks of many of them. The Yale grads who toss in ready cheer for Esso, the dependable gasoline, were in high spirits with what some of them saw at the Yale Bowl Sat- urday, several of them expressing the opinion that Duck Ponds boys would have an undefeated season. Take N. R. Bronson and his son Dick, for instance. Though golf is the game that most interests the senior MT. Bronson, who, now past his allotted three score and ten years of age, can meander in the low 8O's he, was happy to hear about the 1886 football prospects of his Alma Mater while Dick, an en- 1kusiastic football fan assured his father that Old Eli really had e team to cheer about this year.
 Art Rogers and George King of the ScOvill company were also Yale minded today while Fred Palomba. the affable, astute and altogether pleasant politician of the Grand old Party put the grid game second in bis conversation to the Al Smith endorsement of Ali Landon for the presidency of these United states. which topic, still seems to be first and foremost in the minds and con- Versaticn Of my patrons who are zDud in their praises for Landon.

Crosby Loses

Norwich, Oct. 5.-After wallowing in 8 quagmire of penalties and in- ept reverses for half a game, the Norwich Academy Wildcats finally came to their senses in the third period Saturday and scored touch- down which ultimately gave them a SO victory over Crosby.
 The tally came when Captain Frannie Labonte carried the ball over from the one yard line after Fillmore Ardevich carried it there from midfeld by his pounding smashes through center. The pass from center was bad and Hovey Butova, unable to kick for the extra point, tried to make it up by rush. ing, only to be smothered by a horde of Crosby men.
