nique appraisal of President Harry
issue of the Nashville, (Tennessee)
who is the publisher of The Banner,
of The GlObe-Independent and his
because The Nashville Banner has
lunchest Republican newspaper.
His faith in his people
And his God,
His PHILOSOPHERS grounded
In the fundamentals.
Harry Truman has proved
That he is man of courage.
His record is one of sound
And economic administration.
He likes the plain things
Plain people,
Plain clothes,
Plain talk.
He knows he can't
Get to first base
Without the help of Congress.
He's been in that body.
He knows its membership.
They know him.
The friendship and respect
Are mutual.
That's one of the surest signs
That Harry Truman
Will do a good job.
That Friday lunch
With Congressional leaders
Was indication enough
To those who know Washington
That Harry Truman
Intends to work with Congress
And have Congress work with
him.
There will be nothing fiashy
About Harry Truman.
He may not go down in history
AS a great President,
But from the way he has started
1t is my hope,
AS well as my belief,
That he will make GOOD Presi
dent.
He won't clean out the cabinet
AS fast as some would like,
But he'll clean it out.
And he'll strengthen it.
He won't push people and things
around too fast.
He'll take his time
And work out his political saliva
ton
In his own plain way.
He isn't going to aggravate many
people
By deliberately kicking them
In the teeth,
But he isn't going to take
Any pushing around, hinself
He isn't going to destroy the New
Deal,
But he's going to chock-bloci1
Many of the New Dealers.
He isn't going to please every
body.
But I'll lay money on it
That very few AMERICANS
Will regret that
Harry Truman was nominated
For the Vice Presidency
At Chicago last summer.
l don't know the man.
Never saw him except
On the floor of the Senate
And once in the car
With Mr.. Roosevelt
When they rode together
On the latter's return from Hyde
Park
To Washington last fall.
I may be incorrect
In my estimate of the man.
I don't think so.
/ hope not.
But I am impressed
With the quiet,
Simple way
This quiet, simple man
Has taken hold.

Whip Bucs, 4-3,
Then Win, so
Break Tie With Giunt:
For An-Time Record
In Flags With 10th
BY SID FEDER,


PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29.-The
Cubs are in.
The Chicago Champs who took
over the National League lead in
July and held it all the way against
the. surge of the ST. Louis Cardinals,
nailed the pennant to their f1agpole
today for the first time since 1898.
The 100000 "pennant insurance"
they bought from the New York
Yankees in midseason-Hank Bo-
rowy-paid off in the clincher with
an eight-hit 4-to-3 victory over the
Pittsburgh Pirates in the first half
of a doubleheader that put the flag
on ice, giving the Cubs their 10th
league crown since 1876 for an all
time high. This one broke a tie
at IS apiece that they'd been jim
with the New York Giants since
1888.
Just for good measure, the Cubs
also took the darkness shortened
second game, SO, in seven innings
with Hy Vandenberg and Lon War;
neke dividing the pitching chores
and catcher Paul Gillespie whack
ing two-run homer.
Third Flag for Grimm.
1t marked, too, the third Gu
championship conquest under tn
leadership of jolly Cholly Grimm.
Borowy and his mates had to com
from behind in the seventh ant
ninth innings to reach the payoff
window today, and then Hank had
to call for the bullpen fire depart
ment of Lefty Bob Chapman and
Beanpole Paul Erickson to put out
>Buc blaze that threatened to burn
up the pennant party at the last
minute
But when Erickson pushed a wide
breaking curve past Pinch Hitter
Tom O'Brien, with Pirates on sec
ond and third and two away in the
ninth, it was all over. And Borowys
game was safe for his eleventh win
against two defeats since the Cubs
wrote out that big check for him in
July-his 9th triumph in his COM
bined Cub-Yank year.
The "Crusher" had been applied
by the Cubs in the top half of the
ninth when Handy Andy Pafkos fly
to deep right with the bases loaded
had sent Stan Hack, who walked,
scampering home with the tie
breaking, winning marker.
Pafko did his stuff against Nick
Strincevich, who came on in that
spot after Fritz Ostermuellers left
portside shots had given up all ten
of the Cubs hits during the game.
Lowrey Busy With Bat.
Peanuts Lowrey knocked in the
first Cub run with fly in the open
ing frame and the third one, in the
seventh with a single The second
tally came across unearned in the
fifth, when Frank Gustine. the
Buc short fielder, threw Stan Hacks
ground ball low past first.
In between, the Bucs had tied it
up in the first when Johnny Bar
rett singled behind AL Gionfriddo's
double. And they came from behind
again to go in front momentarily on
pair of runs in the sixth when
two runs rode home on Frank Col
mans pinch fly and Ostermueller's
infield hit.

Cadets Show Two Able Teams
In Trimming PDC by 81 too
BY the Associated n-ess.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Sept. 2s.-
Army unveiled pair of good foot
ball teams today to defeat a squad
of former college and professional
players representing the Army Air
Forces Personnel Distribution Com
mand, 80 to 0.
Using the two-team system that
carried the cadets to an unbeaten
season in 1914, Coach Earl Blaik sent
out two teams, alternating them by
quarters, to score in every period
but the third.
Glenn Davis and Felix Doc Blan-
chard, all-America backs last year,
again carried the burden of the
cadet attack, but they found able re-
lief in Tom Shorty McWilliams, for
merly of Mississippi State, Tom
Stuart from Tulsa University and
Elwyn Ripper Rowan from Louisi-
ana State.
Army Not Yet Smooth.
Army didn't show the same kind
of smooth running and blocking that
marked it's mid-season perform
ances last year, but it was up against
somewhat stronger opposition than
was supplied by the college teams
it faced in 1914. The PDC Comets,
representing some 20 stations
throughout the United States,
boasted such well-known veterans
as Dick Plasman, Chicago Bears;
Jim Castiglia, Philadelphia Eagles;
Julius Alfonso, Minnesota, and Jim
Strausbaugh, Ohio State.
This collection of star performers
could gain only I'll yards against
Army defense, 125 yards of that by
passing.
Davis, who blossomed out as a
passer in addition to running with
the same speed and stiffness that
earned him an all-American berth
started things going late. in the
first quarter. Army had been pushed
back to its 14-yard line by one of
Strausbaugh's long punts when
Davis swung around right end and
raced 86 yards down the sideline for
the score.

BY GAYLE TALBOT,


STLOUIS, Sept "a cold, beat
ing rain forced postponement of to-
days crucial game between the
Detroit Tigers and st. Louis Browns
and carried the American League
flag race right down to a final cli-
mactic double header tomorrow,
with the Tigers still needing single
victory to enter the World Series
against the Chicago Cubs.
If the skies clear the first game
will begin at 1890 pm. (CST) in
order to assure the Tigers of catch
ing $50 train back to Detroit and
a possible play-of engagement with
the Washington Senators there on
Monday. Two defeats by the Browns
would throw the Bengals into a tie
with the Mats and deprive them of
clear possession of top place for
the first time since early June.
Another such day of rain would
present the title to the Tigers with
out a struggle. Army Air Forces
said, however. that tomorrow prom
ised to be fairly clear and cold, so
there was good prospect the two
games would be played The Tigers
claimed they would prefer to fight
it out on the field, but they were not
too aggressive about it.
O'Neill Names Trucks, Overmire.
Manager Steve O'Neill said his
starting pitchers would be Virgil
Trucks, who signed his Tiger con-
tract Just today after returning
from the Navy, and Stubby Over
mire. left-hander who looked very
good in his last appearance in a
relief job four days ago. ONeill
was holding out his ace. Hal New
houser. to throw at Washington in
the event of play-off. Some
thought this represented cockeyed
strategy, but they didn't say so to
O'Neill.
Trucks. who admits being in the
best shape of his carer, was rearing
to pitch the clincher today and he
was disappointed when the rain
kept coming down. He looks bronzed
and tremendously fit. Catcher Paul
Richards, who worked out with him
yesterday at Sportsman Park, was
greatly impressed.
Honest, you wouldn't believe me
if l told you how great the guy
looks" Richards demurred. II
don't know whether to believe it,
myself. He's taken off about 20
pounds pitching out in the Pacific
His fast one, his curve and his
control all are pretty wonderful.
Potter Ready for Tigers.
"Of course" he added cautiously,
Nobody knows what he'll do when
he gets out there and starts pitch
ing his first big league game in a
couple of years"
Never, perhaps, has big league
manager been forced to take such
gamble as O'Neill is taking on
Trucks. When they met here today
ONeill didn't ask the husky right
handler any questions about his con-
dition or anything else He just
said: Virgil. I'm mighty happy to
have you back. l think you'll pitch
that clincher for U.s."
IN be in there bearing down"
was all Trucks said.
The Browns were expected to
throw Nelson Potter, a star screw
baller, against the Tigers in the first
game tomorrow. He made the Tig-
ers roll over and play dead last
week end in Detroit, holding them
to two hits as he hurled his eighth
straight victory. Bob Muncrief was
scheduled to work the second game
for the Browns.
