BY MARGARET RUSSELL

It's been since way back in 1885
that Detroit has boosted world S

the odds are even that tonight

drew the bye and at 9 p. m. will
meet the winner of the Zollner

from New Orleans sent the Phoe-
nix Ramblers rambling back to
the state of Arizona with a 10
defeat and will play Garden City
girls of Chicago at 8 p. m. If Chi
cago wins, the same two teams
will play at 10 a. m. under the
two-game knockout rules.
Garden City girls gained the
finals with a 2-1 triumph over
Erin Brew of Cleveland. Zollner
Pistons of Fort Wayne put out
the defending mems champions,
Bendix of South Bend, 20.
Briggs scored all its runs in the
first inning. Eddie Tyson first up
hunted and was safe when Billy
King failed to cover first base.
Walter Butkowski tried a bunt
and was safe when Jim Pharr,
third sacker, fell when fielding
the ball. In an effort still to get
Butkowski, Pharr threw wild to-
right field.
Del Wade, right fielder, who
recovered, threw high to third
trying to pick off Tyson, and Eddie

Lion Defeat BY Cardinals
First in Seventeen Games
Schwenk's Passes
Carry Chicago
to 1910 Victory
BY LEO MACDONALD

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-With their
first start of the season somewhat
less than suspicious, the Lions
were on their way home today
mournfully in the wake of defeat
at the hands of the Cardinals,
1870. under the lights at Comiskey
Park here last night.
1t was the Chicago teams Sec
ond league victory in as many
starts this season and the first
victory over the Lions in IL games
that extended over a stretch Of
eight years. Prior to last nights
setback the Lions had won 13
games and tied three with the
Cardinals.
A crowd of 14,742 paid custom.
ers saw the Cardinals come on
strong in the second half to score
two touchdowns after the two
teams had battled on fairly even
terms in the first two periods. In
fact, the Lions had the edge In
territorial play in the opening
period.
LIONS TUMBLE
Both touchdowns were the prod.
uct of prettily executed passes by
Bud Schwenk, towering compound
back from Washington University
of st. Louis, and both were set up
by Lion fumbles.
Bill Daddio. veteran from Uni.
versity of Pittsburgh, and Steve
Lach. last years star at Duke,
scored the Chicago touchdowns.
Daddio scored his in the third
period, and Daddio's attempted
kick for the point after touchdown
was blocked.
The second touchdown came on
the first play of the fourth period,
a 20-yard pass from Schwenk
which Lach too kbehind the hapless
Detroit teams line. Daddio this
time kicked the point after the
touchdown.

two field goals in the first period
both going wide of the goal posts.
Daddio's attempted field goal In
the second period was short of the
mark.
Vince Banonis, University Of
Detroit All-American star, re-
placed Ray Apolskis at center for
the Cardinals when the former
Marquette center was injured on
the first play Of the game and
played through the entire remain
der of the contest. He intercepted
pass by Tommy Colella in the
third period. setting up a scoring
opportunity that went unrealized.
Tony Arena, former outstanding
Michigan State center, who has
been called by the army, also saw
action in the game here. He will
play his last game with the Lions
against Cleveland next Sunday.
He has been ordered to report for
service October 1.

Take notice, world, of Dona Drake.
Because, though still only kid,
she knows more show business than

her talents are not merely along the

been put over before. and caused the
