MATS TRIUMPH OVER YANKS, 81
CHAMPS DROPPED

Ken Chase Keeps Eight Hits
Well-Scattered For 18th
Victory OF Season

WASHINGTON, Sept. s. -CR-
The New York Yankees lost Sec
ond place in the drum-tight Ameri-
can league pennant race today when
young Ken Chase, Washington left
handler, stopped the champions, 3
to 1, while the clouting Detroit
Tigers blasted the league-leading
Cleveland Indians, 1915.
Though the Yanks pennant drive
was stalled, they lost no ground to
the league-leaders. They are w full
games back of the Cleveland Indians.
And n back of the second place
Tigers.
Chase's eight-hit pitching job was
too much for the Yankees, racked
up his 18th win of the year. He
BANKED the New Workers with five
hits until the ninth inning when
Buddy Rosar beat out a bunt ana
scored after successive singles by
Charley Keller and Babe Dahlgren.
Gee Gee Walker played the lead
ing offensive role for the winners
his two homeruns-one in the first
inning and the other in the sixth
being sufficient for the victory.
However, the Senators, who touch
ed Red Ruffing for 10 blows, got
another run in the third when
Early's bounder hoped over Dahl
green's head, and Case and Lewis
singled.
Manager Bucky Harris was ban

18th Game With Six-Hit
Pitching Performance

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.-R-Clyde
Shoun, making his 49th appear
ance of the season for the St. Louis
Cardinals, seemed overworked TO-
day when he pitched in his third
consecutive game.
The Chicago Cubs scored o n e
against him in the first inning and
three times in the second, but the
left-hander then hung up a string
of seven zeros as his teammates
came back to pound Larry French
for a 6 to 4 victory.
Pepper Martins double with the
bases loaded cleared the sacks in
the fifth inning, and the Cardinals
added a run in each of the three
subsequent frames. Terry Moore
hit his 18th homer of the year in
the seventh inning.
Shoun, in gaining his 18th vic
tory, gave the Cubs four hits in
the first two innings and only two
during the remainder of the game.

Kramer Beats Parker

NEW YORK, Sept 6~.-LR-Jach
Kramer, a tall, uninhibited young

Underdog Sympathy
And then when the Bronx Bomo.
ers were no longer the terrors OF
the American league and were
down in the second division, the
fans began to feel sorry for them.
The ~underdogs began to get sym
pathy from everybody. That's the
way with people.
And the people are that way
loo when someone is trying for a
comeback. The Yanks started
roaring back up the trail to the
first division and finally into sec
ond place and with them went the
roars of all fandom, wishing them
well.
It's the most remarkable re-
versal of form seer in many a day.
The Yankees might be cheered
into the pennant and another
world championship. But if that
happens you may look for another
about-face.
The crowds will be crying

HUGH JACKSON'S
LETTER
To My Fellow Piegans:
Very Truly Your:
Brian Connolly

To My Fellow Piegans:
At the time of this writing your
correspondent does not know who
are the candidates for council in
your coming tribal election.
Ten years ago and over, when
you held an election for your tribal
council very few seemed to be in
terestd in what was going on that
day. Those that were elected usu-
ally were pure blood Piegans of
good conduct, and things went along
smoothly, no one was hurt, there
fore no howls were heard. Many
of you were indifferent about those
elections then because there was no
immediate cash money involved.
Nowadays things have shaped up
different, you as a tribe are now
drawing more than $4,000 per
month on account of oil royalties.
Then too, there is your Indian Re
organization act set up, which is
supposed to run along the Commun-
list theory of government. The latter
caused you sage men uneasineSs
and to wonder what the hell it is all
about.
The reason you are showing sc
much interest in the coming cleo
ton is because of that $4,000 per
month. You want share for your
self and your children.
On the other hand, some want to
be on the council because to them
it looks like an elevation over the
common run of the people.
Others with a sharp eye, and
mercenary motives - think they
would be on the ground for the
pickings and graft should they get
elected.
Nevertheless we have some men
that aspire to the thankless job who
really mean business and would
serve you to the best of their ability.
One thing most of us are in argu-
ment on is that $4,000 per year is
too much money for our council to
play Communist government with.
Ask your candidate what he is
going to do about that.
Yours very truly,
Hugh w. Jackson.
