 Victories Sunday
By United Press

Professional football looked for. ward to its most profitable season today following curtain raising games in five National league cities before nearly 90000 fans.
 Boosters predict that last year, 250,000 attendance will be more thar doubled. Four games played yes. terday drew 71,000 to add to the 18,. 900 who saw the Detroit-Pittsburgf opener Friday night.
 Manders Is Hero
 A crowd of 20,700 saw the Chicago Bears successfully begin defense of their world championship by beat ing the Chicago Cardinals, 16-l3, or Jack Manders' last period field goa from the 23-yard line.
 Largest crowd was at Philadelphia where 25,000 saw the Washington Red Skins score 26-23 recision over the Eagles. It was an expen- sive victory for the RerskinS, how ever, as Slingin' Sam Baugh tore 3 shoulder muscle, after firing Q 90. yard touchdown pass to Max Kraus in the second period. Baugh had passed the Eagles silly in the first half, completing 13 of IA heaves. This still left Washington trailing 1894 at half time, but Krause dashed 71 yards of tackle for touchdown in the first minute of the third per- iod. and Bill Young snared short aerial, then ran 47 yards for the final marker just before the stailzs ended.
 With "Whizzer" White looking more like an All-America than any time since he left Colorado uniyer- sity, the Pittsburgh Pirate lost theii second straight game, 24-l4 to the New York Giants. The Rocky Moun- tain halfback scored touchdown and played good football, but his presence was no obstacle to the Giants vaunted passing attack. Acr. ials accounted for three New York touchdowns, and set up the other A crowd of 17,340 turned out.
 AeriaIs Do Trick
 Green Bay scored 27-l7 over Cleveland as the Packers Herber r-to- Hutson passing combination ac. counted for three touchdowns and Clark Hinkle booted two field goals. Attendance was 5000.

Loser to Start HOmeward From Pittsburgh Tour.
 ney;LOcalS Split Even
(BY JOHN A. CLUNEY)


 Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 12-Washing- ton, D. O., @ winner and loser over the week end, and a brand new en- try in the National Amateur BaSe- ball tournament stands between Wa terbury's champion Tribune A. O.. club and an outside chance to re- main in the ball games scheduled within a radius of 40 miles of Pitts burgh. According to the luck of the draw last evening Waterbury meets Washington this afternoon at 4:30 on Herschel field.
 A ten inning 3-2 winner over Fayette county Saturday and to 2 loser to Dearborn, Michigan, yes- terday the Tribune entry from the Brass City was drawn against the host team for the 1889 tournament scheduled for the nations capitol next September. Washington, erl- couraged by the once great Walter Johnson, defeated Toledo 10-7 Satur- day and was a 10-7 loser to the de- lending champion Weirton, West Virginia team today.
 Henry Sipples, the Meriden flin- ger was Coach Harry Melvin's choice to stop Washington Monday, a team that has scored IS runs in two games against two strong baseball units. Spec Jay will have to be de- pended upon for relief duty is need ed, unless the able Joe Dombroski is called upon with only two days rest.
 Fifteen players left on base and failure to hit in the clutch" was the short but sad story of Sundays loss to Dearborn, despite heavy hitting by Doran while 1t took ten innings, four hit pitching by Dombroski and an error by Fayette's first sackeE to win the. first tourney game.

OOAi, WkAACAA WAA RAObubAy " OAAS scene of the 1889 national tourna- ment, according to hotel gossip around tournament headquarters.
 Another more recent but equally famous character in the profession al football world staying at the hO- tel Fort Pitt is Art Rooney, the young racetrack plunger who owns the Pittsburgh Pirates pro football franchise, and whose hired hands, with the much Publicized Whizzer White, were to play the New York Giants Sunday at Forbes Field. Late In the afternoon, MT. Rooney, who is reputed to have lost close to $l,- 100000 on the horses since last summer at Saratoga will have 8 fairly good idea whether or not the $15,000 he invested for the Whizzer was money well spent CT just an- other photo finish" in which his morse" ran second.
 Entitled to a full half share of the honors as Saturdays hero of the first game, in addition to pitch CT Joe Dombroski, was the City Amateur League veteran Larry Mullen, whose gameness on a pair of pins" that were hit not less than three times by batted balls gave the younger boys something to remember him by. If ever there was valuable ball player, season in and season out, 1t is the same Larry Mullen. who is literally worth his weight in gold to any team, lucky enough to have him around.
 Coach Harry Melvin decided late Saturday night to come back with the veteran WalIy Berg, cagey and levelheaded husky who had his chance against the Dearborn, Mich igan team at Wierton, West Vir- ginia on 8 field ss miles from Pittsburgh. If the Tribes only had that game on the right side of the books, they would have . chance to surpass the four wins of last sea- sons Thomas Club, for the Tribes have Henry Fahey of Meriden % whirl 'em today and Joe DombrOski to follow up with on the following day.
 Right now, at midnight Sunday, the goose hangs high, the Tribes have won their first national tour nament game on top of their first city championship, and with a ht- tie bit of luck in the draw iron, here on, everything will be fine and dandy. and who knows but that they will find themselves up against a chance for the national cham pioliship some time next week. More unexpected thi;sgs have hap pened, and baseball being what it is-just keep your fingers crossed

New York's Yankees failing to get into the up and coming World Series would be 8 tougher "break" than one that could easily have come to Waterbury's determined Tribune A. c. if 1t had lost its opening game of the 1888 national amateur tournameny in this uphill and down dale smoky city of Pitts burgh. Four hit pitching is hardly to be denied in any ball game and when no less than an even dozen strikeouts are sandwiched in, the pitcher who can turn in such a job should win going away.
 Yet, there was no more certain proof of the accepted axiom of the diamond that "the ball game Is never over until the last man is out" than the result of Saturdays ten inning 3 to 2 game won by the Waterbury team which hit hard and timely and seemed to have things pretty much its own way, when out of the sky came two runs by the "enemy" scored on a single and . balk.
 Joe Dombroski's mound work was just about as nice piece of pitch ing as any baseball fan could hope to see the country over, yet it took an error of fly ball over first base to lot in the run that accounted for the sweetest victory of the year for the Tribunes. Officially the play was scored as a hit for Utke, Trib- une third baseman as 1t was poked into territory between first base and right field that made two players go for the ball. the Nemocolin, tFayette County first sacker get ting his hands on it for an appar- ent putout only to juggle 1t and finally let the ball fall to the ground, as the all-important run scored from third base.
 WaterviIle folks, particularly Hank Gagain, ST., will be happy to know that Willie Karlon, who suc- ceeded Catcher Joe Marc in the seventh inning played bang-up game, cutting off winning run at lhe plate on great throw from right field by young Bill Curry. after s Fayette hit had gone fhroukh WaIIy luke, and it looked Ike curtains. with no questions askeG.
