the Brewers had roared of with the
league bunting only to be eliminated
in the first round of the playoffs.
Last season third-place Columbus
busted them off, three games to one,
and last night the Colonels admin
istered the finishing touch, four
games to two. Last years semifinal
playo1 round was best three-of- five
games and this year it was best
four of seven.
Louisville's clinching 7-5 triumph
over the Brewers was the only play
off game last night, the Toledo-St.
Paul contest at st. Paul being rained
out. The Mud Hens, leading three

the Saints tonight, and if they win
they'll encounter the Colonels in

who knows plenty about manpower,
has handled the situation judicious-
ly thus far and with any luck at all
should get through.
At this writing the only two league
games the Skins count in the bag
are those with the Boston Yanks
The others are likely to be dog
fights.
Philadelphia seems to be the team
to beat. De Groot says the Eagles
played more and smarter football in
the first 10 minutes against the
Chi-Pitts than he saw in a long
time. Greasy Meals gang used the
T in that game the way Dud wants
the Skins to use it, with perfect
timing and blocking. In that brief
period they rang up three touch
downs and clinched the game.
Of what they had last Monday
the Chi-Pitts won't be any push
overs, although De Groot thinks his
rockies were mite too overconfl-
dent. The Skins were lucky to get
80 decision, but even if they take
the next one more seriously and
show improvement. the Steelers
must be reckoned with. Walt Kies-
ling didn't show any more of his pet
strategy than De Groot, and he
didn't use Don Currivan as much as
he'll be able to later on. Paired with
Ed Rucinski, Currivan gives the
Steelers as much protection at the
ends as any team in the league.
Brooklyn was tough for the Tribe,
but the boys think they can hold
that Tiger. New York doesn't have
too much, but it's always tough for
the Redskins. Cleveland, under Buff
Donelli, will show improvement, but
not enough, it is hoped, to beat the
Skins.

Detroit's Win Over
Borowy Big Blow
To Champions
By JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Boston practically was eliminated
New York was tottering on the brink
and st. Louis was faltering second
to the league-leading Detroit Tigers
today after the most important "a
hours Of the American League sea-
son.
Steve O'Neills Tigers, who never
had been on top until Sunday, had
opened up one and one-half game
on the Brownies by knocking of the
Yanks in the opener of crucial
series, while st. Louis and Boston
lost.
Detroit's Al victory over New
York's ace, Hank Borowy, took most
OF the wind out OF the champs sails
and disappointed the Browns, who
had been counting on the Yanks to
help pull the Tigers back toward
the pack. The Brownies were shut
out, 60, in II innings by the dun
geon-bound Washingtons.
Disaster struck Boston at Cleve-
land, where the Red SoX bowed, 80

tossing.
Dizzy Trout was primed today to
match Hal NeWhouser's feat OF
beating the New Workers six times
in the same season, the first time
the champs had been so Inundated
since the balmy days of Walter
Johnson. Trout held five wins over
the Yanks and NeWhouser made it
six yesterday by shutting out the
Mccarthy men until Johnny Lin
dell homered in the ninth. The
young Mr.. Left of the Tiger staff
now has straight victories, 26 for
the year. and has allowed only two
runs in his last 38 innings.
World series fever began to hit
the motor city, with 28,290, the years
largest weekday turnout at Briggs
Stadium, watching the home club
move three full games In front OF
the Yankees.
Pitching trouble ruined Boston
again as Cleveland battered Red
Cecil and two successors for Is hits
while Gromek earned his sixth in
a row.
With Hal Trosky hitting three
doubles, Chicago kayoed Jess Flores
with a pair of three-run innings to

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 20.-Luke
Sewell and his st. Louis Browns are
plenty pennant-conscious, but they
haven't convinced Johnny Niggeling
that they are of championship stuff.
The Mats slab veteran made them
look silly at that as he held them
to four hits through the 10 innings
he toiled, and he well deserved the
90 victory his club got him over
an 11-inning route.
That Niggeling gave way after his
long services on. the hill to Roger
Wolf was due to sore arm Johnny
had been nursing for nearly two
weeks up to last night. The arm
began to tighten again, and he told
Manager Os Bluege he felt he was
through for the evening. Then his
teammates stepped out to get him
a win before Wolff took over.
In taking the licking that dropped
them a game and half of the
leading Detroit Tigers in this hectic
American League pennant fight, the
Browns certainly didn't impress the
10,739 customers -9,215 paid - in
Sportsman's Park that they had the

fire as well as punch, and in the

big, quiet guy in the bow tie. whose
football teams were big, but never

often as they lost, is gone from the
football bench. Francis A. Schmidt,

His wife, Evelyn Keesee Schmidt,

A coaching career 26 years long
and IT'S victories high, which began
in Oklahoma and left its mark in
Arkansas, Texas, Ohio and Idaho,
was closed with the death Of
Schmidt, who came to a hospital
here from his home at Moscow,
Idaho, two weeks ago. His physician
said the coach's health had been
failing gradually for half a year.
The University of Idaho, where
Schmidt fielded his last team in
1912, failed 70 renew his contract
last March. 1t had joined other
Northwest colleges in a wartime
abandonment of football the previ-
Gus autumn, but the coach remained
over winter to help with the ply

razzle dazzle football. He moved
on to Arkansas in 1922 and in 1929
went as football and basketball
coach to Texas Christian, where
Schmidt teams won two Southwest

Ohio State University took Schmidt
into the Western Conference, where
he picked up another crown and
added to his victory list. Over the
26 years his teams lost only 81
