Each September some major
league club gets steaming hot
With a week of the season re-
naming the Detroit Tigers look
to be this years hot team.
The heat was turned on in the
American League September when
the Cleveland Indians and the
Tigers came together in the first
of series of collisions destined to
decide the championship.
Since then the Tigers have won
IA out of 18 games and the Indians
have won 10 and lost 10. That's
why the fiction like 6-5 triumph
of the Tigers over the Indians yes
terday was significant beyond its
immediate effect upon the standings.
Tigers Triumph in Eighth.
The two clubs still have five games
to play with each other and in
baseball anything is possible. Cleve-
land might win today or it might
win both today and tomorrow. But
Detroit has a one-game edge and
in September a team that is cooling
off doesn't have much chance
against a club that has just reached
the boiling point
That's what the Tigers touched
in the eighth inning yesterday when

Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-They put
on couple of good fights at Madison
Square Garden last night with a lot
of title "contenders" involved but
no one got far toward winning shot
at a current champion.
Husky Pete Lello of Chicago came
the closest when he whacked out a
10-round decision over Irving FL
bridge, New York lightweight, in the
semifnal. Promoter Mike Jacobs
had figured on putting Lello in
against Champion Lew jenkins If
he made a good showing. Pete did,
but Jenkins is listening to attrac-
tive offers to defend his crown
against Bob Montgomery in Phila-
delphia or against George Latka in
Hollywood, Calf. So the chances
are Lello will have to wait for his
title shot. perhaps fighting Dave
Castilloux in the meantime.
Then in the main bout AL Davis
and Tony Marteliano, pair Of New
Workers who want to get cracks at
Henry Armstrong; welterweight
crown, put on such a close scrap
that the only decision was to match
them again. Jacobs set November
20 as a tentative date.
Marteliano had a slight edge al
most up to the finish. Then he ran
into one of Davis's paralyzing left
hooks and went down. He took
nine count and got up just as the
bell ended the fight. That one wal
lop was enough to give Davis the de-
cision, for Referee Arthur Donovan
cast the deciding vote in his favor
after one Judge had voted for Mar.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Except for
the kind of fans who figure that any
football game is of interest just be-
cause it's football, there's nothing
particularly stirring about the OPEN
ing of the 1910 college football sea-
son this week end
Nevertheless, the campaign al
ready is under way and sooner or
later all other sports will have to
step aside.
Todays program is limited to
about a dozen major" teams, mostly
in the South. and perhaps so others
that definitely are in the small
college class.
Eight Southern Conference outfits
face the kind of foes usually chosen
for early season workouts in addition
to North Carolina State and William
and Mary, which started off with a
bang last night by playing a con-
ference game. Three Southeastern
Conference schools open the season
today, one of the big Eastern colleges
and one member of the Big Six, Iowa
State.

North Carolina, which figures. to

starts off against Appalachian State
Teachers. Because it's high school
day, when high school seniors from
all over the State are guests of the
university, crowd of $4,000 should
give the Tar Heels the days biggest

Other tits involving Southern
Conference members are Clemson VS..

Virginia Military against Roanoke,
Virginia Tech against Catawba,
Washington and Lee against Hamp-
