Taking advantage of all breaks the
Legion Brownies ran off with the
Valley baseball championship Sunday
afternoon by defeating McAllen 2-1
in the deciding game of the series be-
fore a large crowd.
The White Sox bosses recent pur-
chasers of Mersky Brownie twirling!
ace should have been on hand to see j
the clean-limbed young blond set
the McAllen sluggers down with one!
hit over the full nine inning route.
Hamberlin Mack hurler cracked out'
the first ball pitched in the fifth in-
ning into left field for the only Mc-
Allen blow. *
The game was played on the Four-
teenth street diamond due to wet
grounds at the legion park.

first inning. N. Yoder last man up
being a strikeout victim. Williams
opened the inning for the Brownies
safe at first on an error at third.

first. Williams going to second.
Garcia banged out the first of four
singles he obtained during the game
scoring W'illiams from second. Bed-
narz and Ryan next up grounded
out to the infield.
Both sides went out in order in the
second and third frames. The Macks
got two men on in the fourth but did
no damage on the score board. Fitz
walked and Langford got on on an
infield error.
Garcia opened the fourth with a
single for the locals. Bcdnar* du-
plicated the feat. Garcia hotfooting
it to third. Ryan took three slices at
Ham’s offerings with no luck. Cham-
pion hit to the infield and wras safe
at first as Garcia clattered across
the plate just ahead of the peg. This
put the count 2-0 in favor of the
home talent. Fadron cheerful catch-
er with the gold-toothed smile struck
out on three pitched balls.
Ham was smoking them over as
Weatherford warmed up on the side-
lines. Mersky had one strike called
on him and then slapped the ball out
to center field for the third out.
Ham cracked the first offering
Mersky screwed over in the fifth in-
ning into left field for a single. The i
blow went for naught however as
Frisby forced Ham out at second with
a tap to the infield. Frisby was
doubled at first when Hamilton flew
out to third. Brownies went out in
order in the fifth.
McAllen scored their lone tally in
the sixth. Cairnes had the third
strike strike called on him. B. Yoder
drew a walk. Fitz struck out. B.
Yoder stole second as N. Y'oder let
the first strike go by. N. Y’oder
hit to third. The peg to first w-as a
bit wild and got away from Cham-
pion B. Y’oder scored on the miscue.
Mersky bore down and struck out
Langford with three pitched balls.
Brownies missed a good chance to
score in their half when s double
play cut them down after Garcia and j
Ryan had singled.
The seventh and eighth were un-
eventful. Garcia got his fourth blow
of the day in the eighth.
A lucky play in the ninth cut off a
Mack rally. N. Y'oder first man up.
made first on an error at third.
Langford hit to the pitcher who
tossed out N. Y’oder at second. The
effort to double Langford at first
went wild and Langford tore out for
second. Champion retrieved the ball
and threw him out at second. Nixon
last man up w*as the seventh strike-
out victim.
The Brownies came up from third
place in the lower bracket with five
games to play to first at the last of
the season. They then copped a
beautiful 4-1 game from the Macks
here last Sunday in the championship
opener. Wednesday they dropped u
miserable 20-9 game at McAllen. This
Sunday’s game more than made up
for the rotten play however all fans
expressing great satisfaction with
hw their game Sunday.

ment has announced.

t NEW ORLEANS. La.. Sept. 4 —•
Climate or no climate they take to
football early here in the southwest-
ern part of Dixie.
With at least four first-class can-
didates for AU-Southern honors even
before the season begins this section
is anticipating a bountiful gridiron
feast.
First there is Jess Tinsley giant
tackle of Louisiana state one of the
outstanding linemen of the Southern
conference last season and an All-
Southern selection. Jess is captain of
Lousiana state this year and •* ex*
ported to make u strong hid for All-
American choice. He is big but
rangy a hard and consistent cackle-*.
With one year of fine football be-
hind him Bill Banker this season is
looked upon by Tulane as that
chool's best backfield bet. The of-
fense wil be built around him.
In his sophomore year BUI was
given AU-Southern mention and this
year should prove a tower of strength
for the Green. His great speed and
peculiar running style make him one
of the hardest men in the south to
bring down.
Charlit Rucker is captain of the
li>28 Tulane gang though he is only
a junior. Coach Bernie Bierman put
Charlie at tackle last season and he j
preceded to step. He coupled fine
line pity with a good display of gen- |
eralship so he got the bid to boss
the Gree nthis year.
Then there is Pete Miller captain
of Loyola of the South. Miller is ar j
iiicnl end and a good one. Six feet
two and weighing around 200 pounds
he is shifty and fast on his feet.
A coincident of the football sea- J
son is that the opening game of the
season for Notre Dame will be one
against Loyola bringing together the
tv o Captains Miller. Skipper Fred)
Miller of the Fighting Irish will lead'
the Micks against Pete and his south- I
erners.

YANKS SNATCH
LEAD FROM A’S
WINNING PAIR
Pipgras Hurls Shut-
out in 1st; Meusel
Wins Second With
Home Run
By HERBERT W. BARKER
. (Associated Press Sports Writer) .
The New York Yankees have been
sternly tested and certainly not
found wanting.
While the biggest crowd in base-
ball history looked on the world's
champions ripped two victories from
Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics
yesterday and bounced back into the
American league lead.
Nearly 86000 persons packed the
•Yankee stadium. Most of them
came to jeer their one-time favor-
ites. They remained instead to go
wild while the Yankees tore into
their only pennant rivals and down-
ed them by scores of 5 to 0 and 7
to 3. *
For the day at least the Ath-
letics were over-matched. Against
the heads-up baseball the champions
played the A’s could make no prog-
ress. The double defeat sent th’
Yankees hack into the lead with a
game and a half to spare and a j
record of five victories over the j
Athletics in the 20 games the two ]
teams have played thus far.
To New York fandom the double
HII was a* good as a world's series.
Two hundred thousand sought to get
into the stadium and 85250 succeed-
ed- Of these. 81.622 were paid ad-
missions. The former record total
attendance at a baseball game was
set at the Yankee stadium July -1.
1027 when "2.624 srw the Runnert j
team meet Washington in a double
header.
George Pingras vourg right hand-
er who seems to rise to the heights
in a crisis and Bob Meusel. the j
romewhat nonchalant left fielder
worn the Yankee heroes of the day.’
Pin-re. gave the A’s no chance
scattering nine hits in such a man-
ner that the A’s could not fashion
a sjrgle run OTt nf their collection.
Meusel won the second gam- when
be clouted a home run into the left
field seats with the bases filled in
the eighth.
The reel drama of the dav came
>n the niehtccp. After the Yanks
hed scored one in the first inning
Simmons put the A’s into the
lead with a home run with Cochran-
on ba«e in the sixth.
Another filtered across In the
seventh giving the Mackmen a two-
run margin that looked good since
Rube Walherg was turning bark thei
champions with case. But the last
of the seventh saw the Yankees tic
the score and Walberg give way to
Eddie Rommel after he had forced
the tying run in with a walk.
Rommel stopped the rally but it
broke out again in the eighth with
disastrous results. In this frame
a single by Koenig. Gehrig’s double
and an intentional pass to Ruth
filled the bases. Rommel worked
the count to 3 and 2 on .Meuse! be-
fore Lanky Bob parked the ball in
the stands. Waite Hoyt third Yan-
kee pitcher stopped the A’s dead
in the ninth and the game was over.
Meanwhile the National league
race was tightening up. The Card-
inals bowing to Pittsburgh again 8
to 7 saw the Chicago Cubs who
beat Cincinnati 2 to 0 draw to
within two and a half games of
them.
The New York Giants suffered
another shock to their pennant am-
bitions when Vance and the Brook-
lyn Dodgers bent them 3 to 2.
Rest of the field in the Ameri- j
can league continued their battle fori
the berths below the Yankees ard j
the Athletics.
The Chicago White Sox beating
Cleveland 10 to 1 reached the .500
class for the first time this season.
The St. Louis Browns sure of third
place scored four runs in the ninth
to beat the Detroit Tigers 8 to 6 In
the last game of the season be-
tween the two teams. At Washing-
ton. the Senators were held to an
even break by the Boston Red Sox
who won the first game 3 to 2 and
dropped the second. 5 to 3.

DALLAS. Sept. 30.—<4*1—Member*
of six Texas League clubs were scat-
tering today a season of futile effort
to win the championship behind them
while the two leaders of the circuit
took a breathing spell and girded
their loins in preparation for the five-
game play-off between the first and
the second half winners.
The Wichita Falls Spudders last
year's Dixie champs who romped to
an easy victory in the second half
which ended yesterday repaired to-
day to their bailiwick to await the
advance of the Houston Buffaloes
half champs with whom they clash
in the first game of the play-off sc-

By trimming the Fort Worth Pan-

yesterday the Spudders finished the
second half with a lead of seven
and one-half games over Houston.
The Shereveport Sports clinched
