Likely 10 Face Detroit
Three More Times,
Washington Once
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
Bobby Feller, after A months in
the Navy, looms as the No. factor
in the American League today with
the junior circuit so well balanced
that return Of one super prewar
star can upset the applicant.
Detroit's nine remaining meetings
with Cleveland, representing almost
one-fourth of their schedule, are SO
spaced that they will face Rapid
Robert three more time. Washing
ton has only three more with the
Tribe, all punched in one series, so
that the Mats will see Feller only
once.
The way things stand today, with
Detroit shading the Senators by
only half game with a long road
jaunt ahead, three more dates with
the Indians fireball tosser can be
the kiss of death to the Tigers
hopes.
Feller conceivably could hurl
Cleveland to the flag, for the Tribe,
in fifth place. is only 81a lengths OF
the pace, but their recent disastrous
series with Washington just about
snuffed out that hope. It is the
threat of Robert beating con-
tender, probably Detroit, that holds
the dynamite.
Expects to Be Keener.
Any doubt about Feller's ability
to resume his position as the boss
man in the league was dissipated last
night when he whitfield IL Tigers and
allowed only four hits in trimming
Hal Newhouser, A.
"Of course, I'll be able to reach a
keener edge as I 60 along" said
Feller in a tone calculated to chill
A. L. hitters.
Washington advanced to within a
half game of the top merely by sit
ting In a hotel room and planning
strategy for today's doubleheader
against the Yankees after yester-
days game was rained out.
AL Hollingsworth, hottest August
pitcher in the circuit, earned his
fifth straight and ninth of the year
for st. Louis at Chicago's expense,
81, as the Brownies took third
place, seven games out Of first.
1t was bad day for Chicago in
its associations with the St. Louis
rufians for the tattered Cardinals
put snag in the Cubs World Series
plans with a 10 win in the opener
OF big three-game series.
Brecheen His Old Self.
Harry (the Cat) Brecheen, COM
pletely recovered from arm trouble
and one of the leagues best south
paws, blanked the Bruins with four
hits while the Red Birds took ad-
vantage of an error to ruin Hank
Borowy's Shit chucking. After
Lenny Merullo's throw pulled Phil
Cavarretta of the bag to let Whitley
Kurowski reach first in the sixth,
Ray Sanders stroked double down
the right field line scoring the only
run to the dismay Of 44,732 Chicago
fans, including 1927 paid admis-
sions.
st. Louis now has tripped Chicago
eight times in IL starts and still has
IL to 60. It could be the handwrit-
ing on the wall for they're only ~
games away.
Cincinnati pulled out Of a 6-game
losing dive by beating Pittsburgh,
81. The veteran Ed Heusser scat
tered eight hits to decision Nick
Strincevich.
A New York at Brooklyn game In
the National was washed into a
doubleheader today as was Boston

Red Sox and Philadelphia AS of

Rebel Against Rebellion

RcDel Against ReDelIlOIl
a r THE outbreak of the Civil war
A a band of about 100 citizens of
Jones county, Mississippi, refused to
identify themselves with the Confed-
eracy. Under the leadership of one
Newt Knight, they took refuge in
Leaf River swamp where they de-
fed all efforts to make them fight
under the Stars and Bars.
BY 1864 they had complete con-
troll of the county and out of that
fact grew the story that this "rebel-
lion within a rebellion" resulted in
forming Republic of Jones' with
Knight as its head. Mississippians
declare, however, that there is no
official record of any such "repub-
lie" ever having been launched and
they refer to these tseceders from
secession" as the Newt knight
band ofsdeserters.
When the war was over and Con-
Federated army veterans returned,
they induced the legislature to
change the name of the county from
"Jones" to Davis, because they
said the conduct of Knight had
made its name "a badge of ignom-
my and a term Of reproach.
Knight always denied that he was
a deserter but tried to get pension
from the federal government. He
was unsuccessful because the rec
ordss sft Washington failed to show
his name enrolled In the Union
arnny.s However, there was some
compensation for him IN the fact
that until his death u 1923, he was
widely known as the founder OF
the Republic of jones"
