Yonkees 9-4 Over Sovitts At Bristol

Bristol, Sept. 2S.-A six run fifth inning, allowed the New York Yans kees to gain al eventual 0.4 victory over Hartford SaWtt Gems here this afternoon, before 2,le9 paid ad. missions ct MuzZy Field. Tn the same inning, the Gems bounced back with three runs to make Q game of it". Ray Curry, in partic- iiiar showing to advantage against the Yanks' starting pitcher, Wal. ter (MonlE) Dubiel, former Hart- ford pitcher.
 A nome run by Bud Metheny over the right-fteid fence and pair of doubles by stiFnweiSs and Stain back, gave the fans an early thrill, the YankS taking c 20 lead in the third; with Lefty Adams on the hill for jeweier Bill savitt's hired- hands. He was succeeded after the third by ancient Sam Hyman, who curved 'efn ct the Yanks, King Kong Keller in particular for the next three innings, after which Joe (Iggy) Miller finished Up and did a fine job, flaming Metheny, who had HonISEed OH AuhHlS hEIu nhVAH1k bWO swung strikes on Keller before the latter got c scratch single through the inheld.
 Dubiel retired in the seventh in favor of Allen dettel, who gave up but one hit until the finish. Tn the eighth, Gettel doubled and was scored by Keller on 6 single. Yanks got but two hits and e run of Miller in the last two innings. All Yankees got one or two hits.

Boston Tanks Smother Pitt

Boston, Sept. 26-(UP)-The re- built Boston Yanks were off to a flying start today by virtue of their decisive 2e-7 win over the Pitts burgh Steelers in the National Foot ball league opener at Fenway Park.
 Displaying a smooth working, power-laced ground offense, the Tanks scored in every period last night with fullback Pug Manders pulling across twice from within the shadow of the goal posts before 27,502 perspiring fans.
 Perhaps the outstanding exhibi- ton was the play Of the Tanks dancing Johnny Martin who scored the first Boston touchdown within the first four minutes and then dashed 77 yards to set up the final Boston score in the last period.
 Unbalanced by the Tanks charg- ing line, the Steelers were pushed to to their own 20 before the echoes of the opening whistle died away. Ed Stofko fumbled, Martin recov- cred on the 10 and then carried across in two tries.
 Another Martin
 The second half of the Tanks ''Flying Martins" combination Frank-provided the second score when he galloped into the end zone midway in the second period with 4S-yard pass from George Cafe- go.
 Boston opened a powerful march at the outset of the second half and in the first four minutes Cafe go dashed from the 28 to the one where Manders plunged over in three plays. Pittsburgh's only score came in the last period on a for- ward lateral instigated by second- string halfback Toimi Jarvi, with Johnny Lucenti pounding down the sideline to score. John Naiott con- verted.
 Manders bowled over for the sec- ond time shortly after the Steelers' tally when Johnny Martins long run and a pass set him up on the two. Augie Lio converted four times for the Yanks.

 Tt feels great to win one, doesn't it." he said. But remember we've got nine more"
 Negro Star
 The Hoosiers, definitely dark horses, may come up with another in a long line of great backs in the person of George Taliaferro. Gary, Ind, Negro, who was one of the stars against Michigan.
 In recent years, under McMiIlinS tutelage have come such standouts as the late hurll..' Hal H..rsch. lilly Hillenbrand and Bob Hoernsch- meyer.
 McMillin, who began coaching at Centenary in 1922. went to Geneva college in Pennsylvania in 1928, then to Kansas State for six years where he gave the Wildcats their first Big Six championship before coming to Indiana in 1884.
 His all time coaching record is l24 victories. n defeats. and II ties and up to this season he has won 4S. lost 42 and tied nine at In- diana.

Green Gives Groziono To Anybody

New York, sept. 2e-If you have birthday coming soon and you would like Rocky QraSiano aS Q present, Harold Green will be glad to give him to you,
 Green has twice beaten 0raSiano and if he triumphs again in the scheduled ten-round meeting at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night he wins permanent possession.
 "rhat's the only bad thing about beating draZiano three times In Q row." says Green. "Who wants per- manent possession of Q Rocky 0ra- EianoP Only Mrs. draziano. And she can have him. I'll give the guy right back to his Missus after l beat him again. Of course, he won't be much to look ct after get through with him, But he'll be his usual handsome self in Q couple of days"
 Green figures he's got the Indian. sign on draziano and that he could beat Rocky every night in the week and twice on Saturdays.
 No Fear
 "The reason is simple" says Harold I'm not afraid of him and he knows it. The trouble with too many of his opponents Is that they're scared to death the minute he starts to weave and come up with his right hand swinging. They pull away In fright and bang! He lets them have it.
 That's not the way to fight him. When he starts to weave you aim carefully and nall him with an uppercut. That's how I floored him in our second fight. When he stands up straight and tries to box he's c sucker for Q left jab be- cause he doesn't know anything about boxing at all"
 All this may be as Harold Green says. But Q lot of oraziano op- ponents have found that Q couple hundred left jabs can be quickly nullified by one mighty sweep of the Graziano left hook or right cross,

Brouns Ahead For American League Ledder
WEATHER MAN MAY WIN FLAG FOR DETROIT
By ALLEN v. BOWLING United Press Sports wFiterl

NVhAtou GtS1@ SPvA " VV@et
 Detroit, Sept. 2e-CuPJ-The De- troit Tigers, who were inept mud- ders in . vital game at washlng- ton last week, faced the necessity of playing . double header on a sloppy diamond today. They have to win both against the Cleveland Indians to clineh the pennent.
 The Tiger management indicated everything possible would Do done to put the playing field Into condi- ton even if rains continue through the morning. The sentiment was that they want to win the pennant on the playing field not "sitting it out" which is what will happen if the games are postponed.
 Both Meet Browns
 Detroit has two open dates on Thursday and Friday before going to st. Louis to finish with the Browns, but Cleveland has . two- day enlargement with the Miss sourians before the Tigers move in. And the games are necessary since Cleveland still has Q mathematical chance to break into the first divi- sion ahead of New oYrk, while St. Louis needs to win to protect It's third place position.
 The Tigers still need one vic- tory to clinch c tic with the idle Washington Senators who finished their season Sunday.
 Washington faced Q similar cane collation. situation last week In the final game of the season with the Tigers. Needing victory to stay In the race, the Senators went out and druhbed Detroit, l2 to 5. The Tigers, who have Q number of play- ers with cranky ankles and game legs" need firm footing to Do efSec. tive.
 The management had another reason for wanting the games to be played. There still Is Q chance, if a capacity crowd attends the double bill, to set Q new aii-time major league attendance record, surpassing the season mark Of i,2So 422 paying customers, set by the Yankees of 1920. The Tigers need Sl,i ,i02 fans to break that mark and they have had crowds of that size on several occasions this season.
 Al and Hal
 Manager Steve 0'Nel said he saw no disadvantage In yesterdays postponement, cramming two games Into ore day. He said he would stick with his pitching choices of Alton Benton and Hal Newhouser, leaving Paul (DiEzy) Trout and Newhouser, if necessary. for Che Brown games.
 Allie Reynolds and Steve oFomek, two outstanding pitchers, were due for the Indians.
 Tn the only American league game played yesterday, the Browns topped the White Sox ct Chicago 5 to 1 on Al Hollingsworth's steady eight-hit pitching.

Wrong Actor

Senator Ray Willis of Indiana was quoted
the other day as saying that the OPA instead
Of holding the price line, is shrinking the
Waistline.'
That isn't bad summing up of the con-
gressional case against the price agency. In
fact, it's a pretty neat example of the sena-
torial epigram, which occasionally is on the
ponderous side. There's only one trouble, as
we see it. Senator Willis wasn't the rigat
man to utter it.
The gentleman from Indiana is a poor ad-
vertisement of OPA's villainous ineptitude He
has onc of the least shrunk-looking waistlines
in the Senate. And while his accusation may
be true, we fear that his solid presence robs
it Of some persuasiveness.
So we hope the next time Mr. Willis con-
ceives similar sally, he will seek out some
senatorial Cassius with a lean and hungry
look to deliver it. Mr.. Capper of Kansas for
instance, could talk convincingly of shrinking
waistlines. So could Mr.. Ball of Minnesota
But Mr.. Willis may have defeated his purpose
by his performance. The script was good, but
the casting was all wrong.
