Father Kane Named Director

Appointment of Father Matthew
Kane, S. j., as faculty athletic di-
rector, and a 15-man advisory board
today marked Georgetown Univer-
sity's first definite step toward re-
viving intercollegiate sports at the
Hilltop.
One-time teammate of Harry
Connaughton, Georgetown's ALL
America tackle, and Jim Magner,
secretary of the Touchdown Club,
on st. Joseph's High School, Phila-
delphia, II years ago, Father Kane
is serving as treasurer of the
university and will continue to dis
charge the duties of that Office as
well as ride herd on athletics.
Complexion of the Advisory Com
mittee, which includes many men
who won varsity "Gs" in recent
years indicates the university can
expect speedy action in rebuilding
its sports reputation. william A.
Shea, Walter o. (Spike) Briggs, jr.

fifth Stadium, the Washington
Homestead Grays still have a
chance to stay in the running by
winning Thursdays fourth game in
Philadelphia, but the locals stock
was at a new low today.
The upstart young American
League champs not only took a third
straight win last night, but also be-
came the first club to whitewash
Josh Gibson and his Homesteaders
since 1912. George jefferson, ace
Buckeye hurler, let the vaunted
Grays down with three scattered
hits.
The visitors scored three runs in
the third on errors by Gibson and
Pitcher Roy Welmaker and singles
by Parnell Woods and Buddy Ar
mour and added another in the
ninth when Armour came home on
Jefferson's tap to short.

Tentative plans for resuming
football probably will be made at
committee meeting October 13 at
New York in conjunction with
conference OF the Board of Direc-
tors of the Alumni Association. The
status of 1t. Comdr. Jack Hagerty,
u. S. N. r., head football coach
until he entered the Navy, and 1t.
Rome Schwagel, U. S. N. R., gradu-
ate manager of athletics until he
entered service, probably will be
discussed, too. 1t has been rumored
that neither would return to
Georgetown.
Father Kane today said he had no
information about the matter, nor
could he comment on plans for a
field house which long has been a
goal of the Alumni Association.
The new faculty director of ath-
letics succeeds Father John Kehoe.
S. j., one of the most popular men
ever to hold the post. In high
school Father Kane won IA letter;
in basket ball, football, baseball ano
track and in 1922 was chosen a.
end on the all-Philadelphia higI
school team and that same scholas
tic year was selected as catcher O
the all-city baseball team.
While stationed at Ateneo dc
Manila College in the Philippine
Islands from 1880 to 1888, Father
Kane acted as basket ball coach as
well as director of athletics and
twice won the basket ball champion
ship Of the islands.

Red Birds Annex 14th
Win in Contests,
|Cut Lead 10 Two
BY JACK HAND,

Billy Southworth's tattered Car
dinals continue to act like they own
the Chicago Cubs, whose first-place
dignity they have ruffled in IA of
18 meetings.
With 10 games to play, four
against their cousins" from the
Windy City, st. Louis has a good
fighting chance to make the grade
to a fourth straight flag, despite
their two-game disadvantage in the
won and lost columns.
Baseball followers regard the
Red Birds a better bet to catch
Chicago than Washington is to close
the gap on Detroit, even though the
Tigers lead is only game and a
half after yesterdays 1875 loss to
the Mats. The Senators are running
out of games, with only five to go,
and no more with the Bengals.
Southworth has Harry Brecheen.
currently the hottest tosser in the
circuit, ready to 60 after the Cubs.
Added to the decided advantage the
home club holds over the visitors in
season play is the fact that Chicago
has been able to win only four OF
Ia at night, while the Cards have
taken 80 of Al moonbeam tilts.
Charley tRed Barrett, the fellow
who was thrown in" in the deal
that sent Mort Cooper to Boston,
hung up his 22d victory in last
nights 80 shade of the Bruins
Claude Passeau. That's 10 more
than Barrett ever won in the ma
iors before and more than he ever
shared since he left Muskogee in
1887.
Sportsman's Park housed its
largest night turnout of the Cardi-
nails season, 22,174, to watch the
Birds make their big bid for the
flag. They weren't disappointed as
ySouthworths gang overcame two
run advantage the Cubs punched
through the makeshift infield in the
first innings and came on to win.
Whitley Kurowski drove home all
three runs.
Cincinnati split a double-header
with Boston in the only other Ma
tional League games. coming back
to grab the second, 6-2, after losing
the opener, 81. on three successive
errors by Kermit Wahl in the 11th
inning. Cincinnati's Hank Sauer
hit three homers, one in the first
tilt and two in the nightcap.
Two double headers, st. Louis at
New York and Cleveland at Phila-
delphia were rained out and the
other clubs were not scheduled.

Cards Strange Hex Over Bruins
Carries Into Crucial Series

Manager Billy southworth of the
Cardinals. getting frisky over his
teams Svengalic effect on the Cubs,
announced he would wait until
game time to select either George
Dockins or Art Lopatka, a recent
minor league graduate, to hurl.
Dockins, who has an 8-4 record,
triumphed 80 in his last start
against the Cubs September /, while
Lopatka defeated Brooklyn 80 In
his only Cardinal start since he was
acquired from Columbus.
To counteract possible Cub VIC
tory tonight, Southworth plans to
send either Harry Brecheen (13-3)
or Ken Burkhardt Q6-8) to the
mound tomorrow night while
Grimm has indicated he will rely on
ancient Ray Prim. who lost four
without victory to the Cards.
The Cubs and Cards each have
10 games to play, four more against
each other including a two-game
stand at Chicago September Is.

yesterday.
The leagues publicity director,
here on flying visit in his annual
dope collecting tour of the pro grid

would be placed in the proposed foot
ball museum at Latrobe. Pa, birth
place of the play-for-pay version of
the game.
"Hutson couldn't wear the regular
Green Bay pants for some reason or
other" Strickler recalled, so one
day while in Chicago he went out
and bought a pair of sandlot pants
for $3.50, ripped out all the padding
and found they were just what he
wanted. At the close of each season
he'd send them to a laundry to be
cleaned and repaired, but this year
they were returned with note:
These pants are beyond repair He
was going to throw them away when
I heard about 1t and grabbed them.
With those pants and no stockings
I suppose Hutson was just about the
most inexpensively dressed player in
the league"
Sees Balanced Race.
Strickler's only glimpse of the
Redskins was as they trooped
through the depot Monday night
after a day-long trip from Buffalo
by fast cattle car and he left a
warning that if the Tribe isn't up to
par it's in for heap of trouble this
season. The loops tom-tom beater
thinks the Eastern division is better
balanced than it ever has been

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept. l9.-The
Cubs, loudly moaning the St. Louis
Blues, were on the National League
ropes today as they defended a
shaky two-game lead against the
irrepressible World Champion Car
dinals, whose amazing hex over the
Bruins seems destined to produce a
photo pennant finish.
To stop the rampaging Red Birds,
not-so-jolly Cholly Grimm sent ex-
Yankee Hank Borowy to the mound
with the hope that the slim right
handler might emulate his Septem-
Der 2 victory over St. Louis. That
Al triumph snapped a five-game
Cardinal winning streak over Chi
cago.
It's difficult to explain how the
Bruins, who have slapped around
every other club in the league al
most as they pleased, play dead
when they come up against the
Cardinals, but that's what has hap
pened season long.

Yanks Conquer Giants
In Grid Upset, 14-3
Special Dispatch to The Star.

LYNN, Mass, Sept. 19.-Some of
the nice things said about the Bos-
ton Yanks pro gridmen seemed true
today in the wake of their 1913 VIC
tory over the New York Giants in
an exhibition game here last night.
A driving rainstorm, which failed
to dampen the enthusiasm of 5000
fans, forced the teams to rely on
running attacks and in this depart
ment Boston excelled. George Ca
fego intercepted one of the Giants
few passes and romped 55 yards for
the game-clinching touchdown in
the third period.
Bob Davis 28-yard gallop to the
1-yard line, after taking a lateral
from Frank Sachse, set up Boston's s
first score. Pug Manders crashed
over for the touchdown.
New York was saved from a shut
out by Ward Cuffs 16-yard field
goal in the first period.

Deferment Boosts
School Athletics

A boost for all high school
sports is seen in the new defer
ment policy of selective service
that will permit students to grad
uate before they are inducted
into the services.
During the war, many local
schools lost their outstanding
athletic stars in midterm when
Uncle Sam called and it was
usually the case that the boys
who were proficient in sports
we're just the type the services
wanted.
Under the new regulations, any
student who enrolled before he
was 18 will be deferred until he
graduates or reaches the age
of 20.

The Redskins will have to show a
lot more than they did last year to
be in the race. 1t may develop
into a wild scramble among teams
so evenly matched the breaks might
decide it, but at any rate it should
be one OF the most interesting sea-
sons we've had"
The Redskin board of strategy
evidently feels the same way be-
cause it still isn't satisfied with
either ofense or defense and is
making efforts to bring up addi-
tional reserve power. Coach Dud
De Groot has a new back on the
squad today in Jack Doolan,
Georgetown alumnus, who is due for
a discharge from the Navy this
week and whose speed may land
him a berth, and the Redskin men
tor was reported angling for
another ball toter.
The Green Bay game here Sun
day and Detroit duel at Baltimore
the following week don't give De
Groot much time for further ex-
perimentation with various COM
binations and there were indica-
tions today that players will be
frozen in positions they play in
the Green Bay game. This, OF
course, will be the Champion PACK
ers' lone appearance here this sea-
son because even if they should get
into the title playoff with the Skins
