zALE DOWN,
 KNOCK OUT
 BY (ERDAN
New Champion of Middle weight ofWorId as Re-
 suIt of Fight Last Night
By JACK HAND

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Sept. 22.- LR-Marcel Cerdan, laughing Lat in from Casablanca, is the new middleweight c m pi on of the world, because he took Tony Zale's body bombs and kept punching.
 In the fourth round of last nights title fight at Roosevelt Stadium it looked as though Zale was about to tear apart the 32-year-old Tiger of France. Cerdan winced and sl.nked his eyes as Tony landed a Llockbuster under the heart, but he didn't go down.
 Once Zale had shot his heaviest artillery he had nothing left. Ger dan hooked to the head, led with his right, feinted the fading champ into schoolboy errors and trussed him up for the kill
 Zale was a tired old man of 34. Dead on his feet and with no zip left in his punches from the fifth round on, only the fierce pride of a champion kept him off the floor until he collapsed-as the New Jer- sey official physician said from ex-

over a rookie prospect.
 However, the old Louisville sec ond baseman's formula for win hing pennants has been highly successful.
 Only John McGraw has won as many pennants as Marse Joe. It tock McGraw % years to win 10 csnnants. Mccarthy reached that goal in 21 seasons as a big league manager and, like Southworth, he las always had first division team
 As Chicago Cuti pilot for five years he won a pennant in 1929. In the series that year he bowed to Connie Macks Athletics The fol- lowing year he resigned during the final week of the season and the Cubs limped home second.
 In Is years as Yankee chief he took down eight American League championships and seven worlds championships, lowing only tc Southworth.
 In May of l946 he resigned as Yankee manager due to illness ano dislike for the way the team was going under Larry MacPha,rs front office guidance.
 It took a lot of persuasion on the part Of millionaire Tom Yawkey Red Sox owner. to bring Mccarthy back to baseball. It also took a two- year contract believed to call fol $50,O00 a year.
 Southworth, too, is $50,000-a- year manager now ending the first year of five-year contract. In 1( years as big league leader he has won four pennants and two World Series. His second Series win came in 1944 against the St. Louis ' Browns.
 An all-Boston Worlds Serie S with the Red Sox banking on hit. ting and the Braves on pitching could bring out some of the slick maneuvers that Joe and Billy have in tke back of their beans.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The base ball world is all agog over the in triguing prospect of a Beantown Worlds Series. It could be one ot the most interesting on record with two of the games most distinguish ed masterminds-Billy Southworth and Joe McCarthy-meeting for the third time.
 Joseph Vincent Mccarthy and William Harold Southworth met first in a series in 1942. They were the rival strategists again in 1943 They split 10 games.
 In 1922 Billy the Kid led the fast-flying St. Louis Cardinals tc victory over Marse Joe's New York Yankees, four games to one. The following fall Mccarthy, aided by brilliant pitching, reversed the re- suit.
 Both managers are ieet 3iE inches in height They list among their hobeies such outdoor sport, as hunting and fishing. Both have strong desire to win as many games as possible. But there tho similarity ends.
 Southworth, 55, answers willing. ly any questions that can be an swered about his team or any othel team. He is a great confidence mar with players. He has a habit ant it has been successful, of making 10-game winning pitchers believ' ttev are sure-fire 20-game hurlers He talks .28o hitters into hitting 300.
 Mccarthy, 61, is just the oppo site. He brushes off most question as being irrelevant, immater-al ant pure nonsense. He always appear fearful of t'eing misquoted and h. carries his guard high in the pres ence of sports writers. Never has h' keen known to go out on the linn

 FROM SEALS
Seattle Rainiers Then De. feat Seals 10 Cinlh
 Fourth Place
By BILL BECKER

Ever hear the story of how a team played half-inning and gained a game and half. coming mighty close to clinching a pen nant all in one night?
 Oakland came across the bay to San Francisco last night and stop- ed the Seals in the last half of of the ninth inning to win the celebrated Battle of the Pine Tar, 4-3.
 Floyd. Speer twirled the frame in place of Ralph Buxton, whose use of pine tar caused the rhubarb that led to the last-inning replay of the Aug. IA game. Speer set the side down, 1928.
 Then the Oaks donned their street clothes, sat in the stands and had good laugh as they watched the Seals lose to Seattle Go in the regularly scheduled game.
 Seattle virtually clinched four tn place. and q playoff spot by the victory. which put them AZ games ahead of fifth place Port land. The Beavers lost to Los Angelcs, 4-2, with Cliff Aberson's two-run homer proving the dicisive blow
 Mike Budnick pitched San Diego to an 8-3 verdict over Hollywood. The Padres maced three Stars pitchers for 10 bingles.

BIG GAME SCHEDULED
 FOR TODAY
Braves Clash with Indians in Tight Race for Per-
 / nant Honors
By RALPH RIDDEN

The Boston Braves can clinch their first pennant in 34 years to- day but the baseball spotlight will be centered on Cleveland where the Indians tackle the Boston Red Sox with first place in the American League at stake.
 Billy Southworths Braves, who have had the National League pen nant virtually sewed up for weeks, can mathematically win it today by beating the St. Louis Cardinals providing the runner-up Brooklyn Dodgers bow to Pittsburgh.
 The Braves virtually killed off the remaining pennant hopes of both the Cards and Dodgers yesterday, taking twin bill from the Red Birds, 11-3 and 40 while the Dodg- CTS bowed, 12-11 and 6-3 to Pitts burgh.
 The Braves now lead the Dodgers by seven and one-half games Both teams have nine games left to play. The Cards are eight games back with 10 to go and loss to- day will knock them out
 However, the main attention will be riveted on the Red Sox-Indian clash under the lights at Clevelands Municipal Stadium.
 The league-leading Red Sox are only game in front of the runner up Indians who have won tEe.r last six starts. A Cleveland victory would put the two teams in flat footed tie. for the lead. A Boston triumph would jump the Red Sox two games ahead with only eight games left to play for each team.
 Bob Teller 16-14), who has been pitching great hall since late Au- gust, will start for Cleveland against Boston's Joe Dobson 06-8).
 The Red Sox trounced the Ee- troit Tigers, 1922, yesterday in the only game played in the American league.
 Pittsburgh's 12-11 win over Brook lyn completed a game that began in Pittsburgh on August 25, when a ninth-inning protest by the Pi- rates was upheld.
 The New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs divided a day-night doubleheader by identical 3-2 scores. Johnny Mize clouted his 38th homer with two on.
 The Cincinnati Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies also split a day-night twin. bill. The Reds won the first game, 6-5 and the Phils took the nightcap, 6-1

Farmers Must
File Tax Return
By January IS

Farmers must;file Federal In
come lax returns for 1913 by
January Is, 1949, according to
Thomas M. Robinson, Collector
OF Internal Revenue for the Dis
trict of Montana.
Most other business and pro-
fessional m e were required to
file a Declaration of Estimated
tax for 1913 on Form 1O4OES bv
last March and to pay their esti-
mated tax in quarterly INSTALL
ments, the last payment of which
is due by January Is, 1949. Far
mers, or those who expect to re-
ceve at least two-thirds of their
income from farming operations,
are given the privilege of post
poning the filing of declaration
of estimated tax until January
Is, 1919. but they must then pay
their estimated tax in full.
The January 18th filing d ate
should not be confused with t h e
March 18th filing date, Robinson
said. March 18th is still the final
date for filing final and COM
plete return on Form 1O4O. Even
though an estimated r e TURNS
filed by January 18th, a final re-
turn must still be filed by March
18th. However, farmers may save
themselves the trouble of filing
two returns. an estimated return
by January 18th and final re-
turn by March 18th, if they file
their final return on Form lO4O
and pay their tax in full by JAN
uary Is, 1949, Robinson explain
ed.
The destruction by frost, hail.
S t r m, flood or fire of a pros
pective crop is o t deductible
loss in computing income.
Judging from some inquiries,
misunderstanding seems to exist
among farmers about this point.
Such a loss is not deductible for
Federal income tax purposes,
since it represents the loss of an
ticipated profits which have never
been reported as income.
Any loss, other than the pros
pective profit, is in effect reflect
ed in t h allowable deductions
for seed, labor, and O t h er en-
penses of raising the crop.

Indians Take Shelby
In $685. Score
by Jason Devereaux, Jr. }

By a close score of 36 to IS,
Browning Indians won over
Shelby Coyotes Wednesday night
on Browning's home floor.
James Croft e d the Indians
with II points. while Bussel led
the Coyotes.
The Indians didn't give much
of a show. They didn't seem to
be in there like they should have.
Shelby doing most of the scoring,
which gave them the lead over
Browning 8 to S in h e first
quarter.
During the second quarter the
Indians came back with their old
charm of playing basketball in
such a fashion that even the
Shelby team took notice.
Old Person and Shoots First
were on the ball. e &C h making
baskets where they found them.
Shelby's Bussel was hot" a n d
shooting from the corners an d
sinking long shots an d running
the score up against Browning.
In return Croft did the am e,
which gave the game a lot of
excitement and thrilling mom-
ents. At the half Browning led 5
points.
The third quarter was a fast
shooting affair with both teams
making the nets n p and they
both ended a tie score of % to %.
The last quarter was really the
climax, in which both t am S
fought with all their strength to
gain points. The teams seemed
to have lost their shooting ability
and quoted down to some serious
playing, which only made it more
terrific than ever. With all of the
fast passing and fast break S
neither team was able to get a
good lead.
