SMALL FIELD FOR $32,56O RACE TODAY

Pawtucket, R. l., September IA. = (UP) - The fourth and prob- ably the last = running of the $25,- O00-added New England futurity att tracted seven horses at Narragan- sett Park Race Track today.
 Favorites in the six-furlong sprint for two-year-olds were Mrs. Parker Corning's attention. winner of the United States hotel stakes, and Cleveland Putnam's swain, vic- tor in the Arlington futurity In which attention ran sixth.
 Judge James E. Dooley, president of the Narragansett Racing Asso- citation, yesterday confirmed reports that this would probably be the final running of the event due to the lack of interest among owners of Topnotch horses. If all seven go to the post, the winner will net $32,- 560,, the richest purse of the futuri- ity's history.
 The other five youngsters named were Walmac Farms buShwacker and New Englander, Benjamin F. Listers Bull Brier, Hal Price Head ley's Alaking, and s. L. Kopalds Herman.

JUNIOR RATED 7-5
 OVER KOCON MON.

New Haven, September IA. - The old question of youth must be served comes up again at the Arena on Monday night when Paul Junior, Maine's veteran French Canadian star, tackles youthful Julie Kogon, New Ravens hard-hitting light weight, in 10-round battle.
 Junior, who admits to 31, is a veteran campaigner who has never sidestepped an opponent on ability alone. His two sensational battles with Henry. Armstrong, and his To- round battle with Lou Ambers are his only losses in the last two years. His record is studded with knock out victories, and only recently he kayoed George Zengaras, who holds . win over Kogon.
 On Edge
 Yet, there are those in the fight business who like Kogon. Julie has shown up to perfection in training for this important tussle. Charlie Pilkington, brilliant of decade ago has been training Kogon for this match, and it may be that Pilking- ton has installed the needed spark in Kogon, who if he really does his best, is regarded as another Benny Leonard. He will have to be at his best against the rugged and hard hitting woodsman from Maine.
 Much interest is centered on the two eight-rounders which will pre- cede the main event. Lou Laurie Cleveland's featherweight sensation tackles Snooks Lacey, New Haven star, while Al Evans and Willie An drewS, a pair of local lightweight -pleasers, clash in the other eight.
 Frankie Foley, local Irishman takes on Jimmy Salvino of Stam- ford, in six-rounder, with Georgit Maher, New Haven, opening tht show against Terry Martinez, Nor. walk, in 8 four.

Public Parks Title Game Set For Sunday
Keep Defense Confused On Simple Runs
First of five articles by foot balls foremost coaches.
BY HOMER U. NORTON

BY HOMER H. NORTON Texas A. & Ms Athletic Director
 and Head Football Coach
 College Station, Texas, Sept. IA The running game is the basic means of attack, but for team to be dangerous on the ground it must also have the threat of aerial war; fare to make power and finesse stick.
 The power play in football is one of the games most gripping spectacles. But the successful teams repertoire must include good por- tion of deception and 8 couple of bang-up backs and guards who can block.
 You can't send your ball carrier anywhere without interference.
 Many teams are doing 8 good job on the ground with an unbalanced line and the single wing. Texas A. & M. runs power plays from 8 dou- ble wing with balanced line. RUNNING PLAYS OFTEN WIND UP AS AERIAL
 Our passing attack from a double wing helps make our ground game go. We feel the double wing gives us the best passing set-up. To function, running attack must have several plays to the same hole, with different finesse, but with the same blocking in the line.
 This prevents the defense from immediately recognizing simple ground plays at point of origin.
 Plays that start like running plays but wind up as passes are necessary. These run-and-pass plays must be available from both the di- rect and spinner attack.
 One of the strongest aids for your running attack is the shuttle pass. This prevents the defense from rushing your paSSer and keeps it at 8 safe distance for spinners and power illnesses.
 QUICK-KICK KEEPS
 DEFENSE BACKED UP
 Once you have defensive linemen heSitant, and backerS-up wary, you've got the defense set up for a spinner or other quick opening plays.
 The quick-kick from any for1na- tion with balanced or unbalanced line prevents the defense from punching too close to the line of scrimmage.
 Before any ground game will bring appreciable results a coach must have a line that is fairly big, but above all, fast and crisp blockers. They've got to have those holes opened by the time the carrier gets to the intended opening.
 ITexas A. & M. is exceptionally fortunate in having John Kim brough, an All-America fullbaek who runs over the opposition, but it isn't necessary to have bone crushing type as long as you have backs who start quickly, run hard and keep their feet.

 ''HOt'
BY GEORGE KIRsKEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 14-(UP)-The Yankees western argosy, which started so glowingly with a triumph over mighty Bob Teller. was just about on the rocks today.
 Beaten three straight times in the west after their initial triumph over the Indians, the punchless world s champions were in desperate straits this day. They were three games of the pace and had to face the American Leagues most successful pitcher, Buck Gall me Bobo) New som, in the final game of the Tiger series. Only triumph today can rally the retreating Yankee forces. If they lose, the gap will be four games and the time too short in this cut-throat American League scramble. - | WhitewaShed
 The Tigers looked like champions yesterday as they slugged the Tanks, so. The Tanks looked like a spent ball club, worn out after 8 terrific uphill struggle. Tommy Bridges, with 2 days rest, tied the Tanks in knots, allowing only six hits in win ming his 11th game. Bridges big feat was in stopping Joe DiMaggio who went hitless in four times When DiMaggio's bat doesn't boom the Tanks are sunk. Nobody else on the ball club is hitting 300. On two singles Cleveland scored 8 miraculous To victory over the Red Sox. After Weatherly and Heath had singled in the fourth Weatherly scored when Boudreau hit into a double play. Jim Bagby was invincible from there on. The Red Sox made onl ythree hits of Al Milnar.
 The sensational Spurt of the White Sox continued when they won another double victory over the Ath- leticS, 6-2 and 8-4, and moved into fourth place, 8 game and a helt ahead of Boston. Thorton Lee twir- led 2 hitter in the opener and rookie Jack Hallett came through with an eight hitter in the night cap. The White Sox have won II ot their last IA games.
 The Browns knocked Sid Hudson out of the box and beat the Senators 7-3.
 Easy For Reds
 The Reds held their 8 1-2 game lead by trimming the Giants, 5-2 Johnny Wander Nicer, making his second start since coming back from the minors, was relieved in the fourth after he had walked three straight batters and tossed three balls to another. He gave up only one hit. Joe BeggS was credited with his eighth straight victory and 11th of the year.
 Brooklyn beat the Pirates, S-2 with 6-rln rally in the sixth Rookie Ed Head pitched a neat 7-hit game. Lon Warneke won his 18th game as the Cardinals won from the Bees, 9-3. Kirby Higby let the Cubs down with four hits in pitching the Phillies to a 6-1 victory. It was victory No. IS for Higby. Joe Marty hit two homers for the Phils.

SACRAMENTSTO OPPOSE NORTH
 END PALS 2.3O
Final Contest at Hamilton Park; Confidence Reigns
 in Both Camps

Baseball competition in the American League has been closer than the hands of the clock at 3:l5 p. m., but it has not been any more interesting among Public Parks league followers than the efforts of the Blessed Sacraments and North End Pals to settle the 194O cham pionship via the. well-known two out of three playoff system, which, on Sunday afternoon will have reached its limit.
 At Fulton Park, the Pals were very much the better team and topp1ed the Sacs { to 3. The scene of the second game was shifted to Hamilton Park, where the Sacs did nice job on the Pals last Sunday, winning to behind seven-hit pitchingby Ralph Bradley. Tomorrow, they meet again in the third and final game at Hamilton Park, 2:30 o'clock, and, given good weather, the game fig ures to attract 5000 fans.
 Starters
 Ralph Bradley, Sacs lace" mounds man will again carry the burden of keeping the hard-hitting Pals in check, according to Coach Joe Cav- a naugh, while the north end mound choice is apt to be Freddy Jacovino, if Harp" Sullivan is not decided upon in a last minute hud- dle. Loy, Beauty, Kalosky and Grib- bon are the Sac flitters who did the most damage last Sunday while Cronin and Rinaldi are the batters that Bradley will have to work on most carefully, especially with men on base.
 Two umpires, veteran Bill Stan- ton and young George Greece have been assigned to handle the game which has attracted no end of in- terest among fans in all parts of the city.
