as 4 cents at times and other grains
weakened
Freezing temperatures failed to mater
ialiZe in the Southwest over the holiday
and temperatures were climbing today
The crop scare OF early this week was
over and traders began to wonder what
effect a billion bushels OF wheat would
have on prices. Some felt there would
be considerable hedging sales.

Denny Galehouse beat the Mats

single by Ted Williams, who also
walked twice and thumped across

The Mats quickly disposed Of Earl

opener. Eddie Yost greeted him with
a single and went out stealing, but
Eddie Lyons, Coan, Tom Mcbride
and Al Evans also singled to spray
three runs across before Harry Dor

For the next seven innings the
Mats attack consisted exclusively
of Coan, who beat out a bunt and

hits off Dorish.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox we're CIV

(, The event was won by Mrs. Mary
,McFadden Of Bethesda, a former
WASP, who was driving in her
first race. She had been In the boat,
Tommy Keane's Tee Tee of WASH
ington, only twice before. She went
in front on the second and final
lap and won by comfortable
margin. ...s,..
But the show was not over yet.
In the last 100 yards, Mrs. Mary Slo-
cum driving her husbands Trudy's
Cub from Freeport, N. Y, slid past
Mrs. Frances Cook in Maggie Nv
from Dover, DEL, to take second po-
the day and the spectators gave the
the day and the spectators gace the
wind-blown matrons q big hand.
Joe Palmer OF Arlington crashed
through in the 135-hydroplane race
with his Tommy Boy after having a
new magnetic for his engine flown
in early yesterday from the West
Coast. His craft developed engine
trouble earlier in the week and al
most did not make it..
Palmer will have to watch out to-
day, however, in the second and final
heat for 1855, because the runner
up, Albert Death, driving his Psst,
appeared to have faster boat. The
latter was leading the field when he
rounded the wrong set Of buoys
(they had been used earlier by the
outboards). He discovered his mis-
take in time to come around proper
ly and finished second Death re-
turned to the pits and took over Hot
Potato.
Some Drivers Disqualified.
Several other 1876 drivers who
made the same error failed to rec
tify the mistake and were disqual-
ified. This helped give Keane a
fourth place in Tee Tee. This boat
had difficulty getting up speed be-
cause of engine heating difficulties,
but Keane has located the trouble
and will be out today ~
The big 225- -hydroplanes also put
on good show. Ten Of them came
out in the first heat, which was
won by E. D. Weeks Voodoo of Des
Moines, Iowa. A broken street in
the nasty chop forced Weeks to re-
main at the Naval Air Station pits
for the second race.
Weeks said afterwards he planned
to make repairs and try for a new
world speed mark in mile trails
slated for this morning above the
Highway Bridge. He is the son-in-
law of Jack Cooper, grand old man
of the 225 class.
The next time the winner was
Vincent Schwing's Betty v. of Balti-
more. The final heat will be raced
this afternoon. While no oficial
report was made, it appears that
only one 225 will qualify for the top
prize in this race, the John Charles
Thomas Trophy for the class cham
pionship. Boats must have raced in
at least six sanctioned regattas dur
ing the season.
Outboards Give Good Show.
This means Joe Van Blerck's Aljo

winner. He made two fourths yes

Coach Bob Higgins sent a forrnid-

the ball on five successive attempts

who scored one of the four touch
downs, and Francis Rogel, a new

outstanding for the Lions.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 2o.-It took q
pitcher who never before had won
a game at Ebbetts Field to put .
crimp into Brooklyn's bid to clinch
the National League pennant today
when Johnny Sain, curve -balling
Boston Highlander, hurled the
Braves to an 81 victory over the
Dodgers.
The st. Louis Cardinals beat the
Cubs, SO. tonight.
As result Brooklyn, now leading
st. Louis by eight games. still needs
one more victory or. Cardinal
defeat to make its World Series
entry against the New York YAM
KEGS q mathematical certainty. The
Dodgers have seven games left to
play while the Cardinals have nine.
Sain Wins 10th Game.
Sain, who gained his 20th triumph
for the second successive season,
never gave the 29,762 chilled Gus
toners q chance to whoop 1t up. He
limited the Dodgers to six scattered
singles and appeared on the way
to his fourth shutout of the year
until the Brooks combined a base
on balls, single and a long fly In
the eighth inning for their only run.
Vic lombard, who in his last
start against the Braves had
emerged with 10 victory, was
the starter and loser. He was fol-
lowed to the mound by Jack Banta
and Johnny Vancuyk, recent i'm
portations from Montreal of the
International League.
The little left handler, although
nicked for only five. hits in the five
innings he toiled, never had a
chance. He allowed only an infeld
single and q base on balls in tho
first inning, but when he finally
retired the side he found himself
behind, 40.
Infieid Goes to Pieces.
The usually reliable Brooklyn In
field went to pieces In that frame
and committed four bobbles to pre-
sent the Braves with four unearned
runs. ->
