Crosby and Torrington at Municl- pol Stadium; Wilby in Ansoria for its first game of the season and Lcavenworth's Tech Tigers at Shell ton was the three-way high school football picture for today; with Tor rington, Ansonia favored to win over Crosby and Wilby while the Teoh-Shelton game is figured to be fairly even, with the Gaels having slight advantage perhaps, because of two games already played, and todNy's test on their home field.
 For Crosby Q bRckfield consisting of Johnson at quarterback, Reardon and Pickett at the halfback posts and Trajilla, fullbacS will line up for the kickoff at 2:30 D. m., the game to be officiated by Chick Kel- E. Doc Bray and Dan Roach as referee, umpire and linesman.

LIGHTWEIGHT
 NEXT FOR PEP; WRIGHT BEATEN
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

SAAAeSNA AANoo GeNAA SVGENAVUMUCmG
 New York, sept. S0-(UP)-Feath- erweight champion Willie Pep, the Hartford Hurricane turned to the lightweight division for worthwhile competition today after defeating with comparative ease ancient Chalky Wright, No. 1 feather con- tender,
 Young Pep of the lightning left jab and wraith-like body won an lln- aIl;mous decision over Wright, vet- eran Los Angeles Negro, in their rec turn l5-round featherweight title bout last night before 15,4SS fans in Madison Square Garden.
 Pep recognized aS l2e-pound king in New York and affiliated states, achieved his 70th victory in 80 pro- fessional fights by left- -jabbing into the ring resin the title hopes of elongated Chalky from whom he wrested the feather diadem Nov. 20. l942.
 The 22-year old "Connecticut Comet" craves 0 shot at Sal Bartolo of Boston, who is recognized as feather champ by the National Box Ing Association. Such a bout would make the winner undisputed world champion, Pep beat Bartola in de- fense of his New York State diadem before he entered the Navy. Pep rec ceived medical discharge from the Navy in January. Meanwhile Bar tola recently was released from the U. s, Maritime Service, and may not be ready to tackle Pep again Tor three or four mouths.
 Accordingly Pep seeks over -the- weight matches with Juan zurita ot Mexico, who is recognized as light weight champ in New York, or with Bobby Ruffin, lightweight from As- toria. Long Island, who recently emerged from the army.
 StandOut
 Pep beat Wright so decisively that he stands head and shoulders above current featherweights. The United Press scored 10 rounds for Pep, three for Wright. and two even. This agreed fairly well with voting of the three ring officialS-Referee Frankie Fullam and Judges Marty Monroe and Prank Forbes,
 Wright, whose age Is variously es- timated as being between 3l and 4l, put up better fight than ex. pected, after going Into the ring Q l-5 underdog, Wright won the fourth, sixth and seventh rounds staggering Willie-the Wisp in all three with explosive head blows that followed left-hooking attacks to the body.
 There were no knockdowns, al. though Pep slipped to his glove tips in the seventh round, and to hi' knees In the eighth. Pep suffered from e bloodied mouse under his left eye; and Wright bled freely from his nose in the closing sessions.

BROWNS TOPPLE TANKS TWICE
 TO SHARE LEAD
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports EditOF)

St. Louis Sept. 30 - (UP.) = The St. Louis Browns, who fought their way back into the championship race by defeating the team they would rather beat than any other, came to another crisis today in their bid for their first American League pennant.
 Sentimental favorites the country over outside of Detroit - the Browns were in a tie with the Tigers with only two more games of the season to go, and this time they held the psychological advantage in the uphill struggle that has stamped them as one of the gamest ball clubs the sport ever has known.
 They beat the Worlds Champions to get back into the running, and they sohwed the stuff of which champions are made.
 With the chips down and a pos- sible penna1t ct stake, they fought their hearts out to defeat the New York Yankees in both games of Q doubleheader to tie the Bengals of Detroit and start the American League season anew--with i62 of the i64 game schedule written into the record books.
 What has happened since the chilly rainy days of April can be written of the books. The Ifs" in the background are meaningless to- day as the Tigers squared of against the Washington Senators in Detroit and the Browns tangled once again with the team that has tormented them more than any other.
 Pressure Galore
 The pennant will be riding on every pitch in those two games and the world series opponent of the Na- tional League Champion St. Louis Cardinals will not be known until tomorrow.
 Only one thing was certain-that the Tanks will not be the opposing team when the world series opens here next Wednesday. They were eliminated from their bid for their fourth straight pennant yesterday when Jack Kramer, one of the four Brown heroes of the day, beat them it1 the first game to 1.
 That first game was Q must for Manager Luke sewell's boys Early in the game the scoreboard showed that the Tigers had defeated the Senators in the first game of 6 dou- bleheader. That meant that to keep

 Then they showed In the second game how they could play when the pressure really gets tough.
 They were leading i to behind Nelson Potter when the scoreb0ard showed that the Senators had beat en the Tigers and Dizzy Trout N0 sooner had that second score been posted than the Tanks came up fin the eighth inning. Potter was pitching his heart out.
 It turned out to be gcod enough, but he needed some of the most spectacular held help that baso- ball ever has known.
 Tn the eighth with men on second and first and two out, Mike Kree- vich, running with his back to tlae plate leaped up and snared Q line drive of Johnny Lindells bat that was ticketed for extra bases all the way.
 T never was less certain of catch. ing a ball in my hfe," Kreevich said afterwards, but he caught that one and 1t counted
 But that wasn't all. Tn the ninth the Tanks were threatened again. hoping to duplicate what they did In 1922 when they beat out the Browns by one game fin St. Louis only major pennant bid--eomethinR which the Browns never have for- gotten.
 Don and Mike They had a man on second witt two out and Paul Waner. one of the most dangerous batterS the game has known, was at the plate, pinch hitting. He hit one. It looked like Etten was a cinch to score but he didn't for Don Gutteridge, the pep- per man of the Browns, leaped high into the air and speared the ball to end the game,
 It clirnaxed quite day for 0ut- teridge and Kreevich. They had scored or batted in the tying and winning runs in the first game and the one and only run in the second game.
 Those victories and the Washing ton Detroit split made it new sea- son as far as the Browns and Tigers were concerned.
