Bogley, the third youngster from

customary slow start and mad to
overcome Dewitts' 81 advantage to
take the first set, Is. Each broke
the others service frequently with
Bogley coming back to take the
cluster.
De Wits faded perceptibly in the
second set as Bog]ey brought his
complete strategy into play. The
Landon school youth played De-
Wits backhand consistently, forcing
him out of position, then switched
over. to smashing forehand place
ments.
Bogley took 5-4 lead in the
second set and seized a 40-love ad-
vantage in the tenth game before
Dewitts rallied and ran out the set.
1t appeared at first that Bogley
might have let the title slip through

But the third set was all in the

Bogley's willingness and ability to
slam the ball with Dewitts, abandon

employed previously.

the amphitheater seats, Flam wasted
little time demonstrating his marked
superiority, handling Behrens stra-

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12.-Mickey
Haefner will be on the mound for
the Mats tonight when the Wash
ington club opens a three-game
series with the Browns, and the Mick
will attempt to erase memories of
yesterdays goings-on in Chicago,
where the White Sox pounded Bobo
NeWsom and Milo Candini for a
6-1 decision.
The Sox and the Mats went into
the sixth inning with the count
deadlocked at 1-all and at that
point the Chicago team ganged up
on Bobo to bang in five runs. Bobo
had five-hitter up to then and the
rout started when he offered a
blooper to Taft Wright, who hung
on to 1t for single.
Chicago Pitcher Joe Haynes, SON.
in-law of Washington Clubowner
Clark Griffith, was on the slab for
the Sox and held the Mats scoreless
after the opening frame, when
Washington punched in its solitary
tally.
Only bright spot in the tumble
that ended Washington's three
game winning streak was the stick
work of Mickey Vernon. Vernon
had a perfect day at the plate, col
lecting three doubles in as many
trips.
Chicago's sixth-inning outburst
spoiled what had been an excellent
pitchers battle. Newsom disposed
of the first two Sox batters in that
frame before Wright connected with
Bobo's blooper. Dave Philley ad-
vanced Wright with single to right
and Don Holloway walked to fill the
bases. Cass Michaels doubled to
bring in two runs and Frank Hayes
hit homer for three more. A
double by Joe Haynes proved in
effective when Thurman Tucker was
thrown out at first.
The raging NeWsom went to the
showers after that series of unhappy
incidents and he was succeeded by
Candini, who gave up but one hit
in holding the Sox scoreless in the
final two innings.
It marked the first time in his
big league career that Chicago
Pitcher Haynes has beaten his

BROOKLYN, Sept. 1.-THE 1916
baseball season reaches the show
down stage today as the st. Louis
Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers,
separated by only IL games in the
tight National League race, meet
head-on in the opener of three
game series that may decide the
championship.
Both Managers Eddie Dyer Of the
first-place Redbirds and Leo Du-
rocher of the ferocious gentlemen
from Flatbush are making their
pitching selection on a day-to-day
basis. However, this Is the way they

Rivals Won't Predict Finish.
Neither Dyer nor Durocher wants
to go On record as predicting the flag
can be won in the current set as the
Cards have rough three-game date
with their New York 'jinxers" after
they leave Ebbets Field and Duro-
cher must entertain the Chicago

costly defeats last time they met.

the race at the st. Petersburg train

"Sure 1t would be wonderful II we
could sweep all three, but then 1

"Out in Chicago they tried to get
me to say the Dodgers were going
to fold. T wouldn't say it then and
won't now. I think they have a
good team and one that will stay in
the race to the end"
Eyes, our team is in good physical
condition" the skipper stated. That
is, all except Terry Moore who still
is troubled by that leg ailment. I
expect to use him in center and
probably Buster Adams in left
against the lefthanders and Dick

The defeats of the Washing

pointing as they had been tossed

while the top amateurs were scrap

eight holes of his match with ex-

looked home James with his first

Enter the new putter, that several
friends here had suggested he give
up. Bobby 3-putted the ninth to
lose it, the 10th and 18th to give the
scrambling Meister halves, watched
his margin cut to one as Meister
birdied the 18th, and Brownell again
3-putted 13 and the match was
even. Meister was not to be denied

Redskins Will Return
To Denver in 1947;
City Sold on Team
By Lewis F. Atchison
Ssor Stoff Correspondent

CHICAGO. Sept. 12.-The Wash
ington Redskins will return to Den
yer next year, probably to meet the
Detroit Lions in another preseason
game, as a result of their 1881 vic
tory over Green Bay Tuesday night.
The Skins took the Mountain City
by storm, exceeding the fondest
hopes of Promoter Al Wardeman.
Exactly 1888 customers poured
$50 900 into the till, more money than
any previous sporting event ever
crossed in the State of Colorado,
and the park wasn't completely sold
out.
The crowd went wild over Sammy
Baugh, although they seemed pre-
dominantly for Green Bay until the
Tribe turned the tide in that explo-
sive second half. Its f1ashy running,
passing and pile-driving backs, and
that goal-line stand in the last
minutes of play won the fans over.
Denver definitely is Redskin city
from now on.
"Uncle Turkey" Edwards breathed
a sigh of relief when the shooting
was over.
1--WE let 'em take too much of a
lead" he said after the game, but
we won't let any other teams do
that. I wanted to try some of our
rockies, though, and left 'em in
there when we should have had more
experienced men on the field. I
found out what I wanted to know
and from now on If any team gets a
two touchdown lead on us it Is going
to be mighty good"
The Redskins are due in Norfolk,
Va, tomorrow morning, and will
work out in the afternoon and again
Saturday. 1t is probable that the
squad will be cut to the league

Denies Harris New
Job Influenced
His Decision
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Sept. 12.-Bill Dickey,
veteran catcher and manager of the
New York Yankees, today confirmed
reports that he will retire as skipper
of the American League baseball
team at the end of this season.
His decision, he said, was i'm
parted to Yankee President Larry
MacPhail by telephone from De-
troit early today.
Dickey said the decision was
reached because of personal rea-
sons" and added that he and Mac
Phail are on good terms"
Il told him I did not want to be
considered as manager of the Yam
KEGS in 1896" Dickey said.
The 39-year-old Dickey, who came
up to the Yankees in 1923, revealed
that he did not sign a contract when
he took over the Yankees man.

Carthy. He said he had a verbal
agreement with MacPhail to manage

it was understood he would sign
contract upon his return to New
York City following Yankees road
tour.
No Conflict With Harris.
"It was not MacPhail's fault that
I didn't sign" Dickey said. He de-
clined to elaborate.
IF he didn't want me back (in
194D I didn't want to be back"
Dickey said. He was asked If this
meant that he felt MacPhail should
have taken the initiative toward a
1947 contract, but smilingly declined
to answer.
Don't put words in my mouth,
please" he said.
Dickey said he received a tele-
gram from MacPhail Wednesday
informing him that Stanley (Bucky)
Harris would join the club in De-
troit today. Upon receipt of the
telegram. he said, he reached his
decision to telephone MacPhail.
He denied, however, that Harris
recent connection with the Yankees
in any way affected his decision
