PENNANT FIGHT
IS RENEWED IN
AMERICAN RACE
Yanks Oppose Athletics To
day and. Cleveland Battles
Sox in Chicago.
GIANTS REMAIN IDLE
Home Run King Out of
Game With Severe Cold;
Yank Attack Weakened
NEW lORK, Sept. 29.—Babe Ruth,
home run king, l suffering with a
severe cold and was not able to play
this afternoon against Phlludeiphia.
The Yankees left him In .New York
when they entrained for Philadelphia
at 11 a. m.
Physicians who examined Ruth,
said he probably would be hack iu
the game tomorrow.
Ed Barrow, business manager of
the Yankees, deelared that the Babe s
illness was not •extremely serious.”
Withdrawal of Ruth from the game
at the most important point in tho
pennant race seriously influences tho
Yankees' chances for holding their
lead of one and one half games over
CleTelaud. The entire Yankee attack
built around Ruth will he consider
ably weakened by his absence.
The Yankee star caught oold while
out anto riding with his wife and
Bill Fleroy, New- York pitcher. Just
night. When he returned home he
complained of fever and a doctor was
summoned immediately. The doctor
said the champion slugger is In run
down condition but he believed he
might be able to play at Philadelphia
tomorrow, although it would be
better for him to stay in bed for
Several day s.
Sirs. Ruth said her husband was
anxious to join the dub and she be
lieved he would go to Philadelphia
tomorrow morning if the doctor will
permit it.

International News Bports Editor.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29—" We hope
to clinch ths pennant before we go back
home and I think the boys can do it, bat
you never can tell what to expect in base
ball.”
Miller Huggins, diminutive manager of
the parade-leading New York Tanks, who
led his team Into Philadelphia today to
tackle Connie Mack's Athletics In a two
game series, was the speaker.
"It’s been a long, hard race,” nug
gins continued. "1 never saw such a
fight. Put it's just about over now and
we-feel pretty sure of our ground. I
don't think Cleveland can head us off
They’ve got too tough an assignment In
Chicago, and I don't think there is a
team In either league that is good enough
to take four straight from the White Sox.
X know they’ve always been tough tor us
to crack.” , ,
As the race In the American League
stands today, the Yanks must win three
out of four games to clinch the pennant,
providing Cleveland takes four stralgh
from Kid Gleason's Sox. Should the In
dians lose today and the Yanks defeat
the Athletics, New York's task will be
much simpler for then one victory will
give them the pennant.”
While the knock down-and-drag-out
fight was continued by the l'anks amt
Indians, the Giants enjoyed another off
day in Gotham, awaiting the coming oi
the Boston Braves to the Polo Grounds
for the Mathewxon benefit. With a lead
of 314 games over the Pirates. McGraw s
bovs are not worrying. If the < ards
defeat Pittsburgh today New York will
need but one more victory to clinch the
National League flag.
BUNN STILL HAS HOPES.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 20.—James C.
Dunn, president of tho Cleveland baseball
club, has not yet given up hope of win
ning the American League pennant.
"f will not coni ede the Yankees the
pennant vet.” he said. "Don t blame the
bov3 if they fail to bring the pennant
back. They did the best they could. Any
one who saw the last game ut New York
will testify they went down fighting.

INDIANS AGAIN
DISPLAY PUNCH
Tribe Closes Brewer Series
Today, After Beating Visi
tors Twice Wednesday.
The Indians were to meet Milwaukee
today In the last game of the sories, with
the chance of going into fourth place if
St. Paul was able to knock oft Toledo
again like it did yesterday. The Tribe
Is just betwixt and between fourth and
sixth places. One-half a game separates
Hendricks' team from fourth place, but
the same small margin Is all that keeps
Milwaukee below the locals In the per
centage column. Quite a' little race is
developing in these closing days of the
A. A to see what outfit will trail the
first division and also what club will lead
the procession of the last four.
Yesterday, behind a good brand of
pitching, the Indians stepped out and
over the Egan crew, taking both con
tests and forging into fifth place by a
scant three point lead The first game
was decided by a 3 to 1 count when Pug
Cavet set the near-beer Brewers down
with seven scattered hits Four of the
hits tame in the first two iunings and
two double plays extinguished the firo
in those frames, although one run eased
over in the second.
In the second encounter Bartletjt. who
has been looking like a different pitcher
lately, allowed only five hits and should
have shut them out. The score was
6 to 1. The l*>ne marker for Mil
waukee came in the eighth inning,
and was the result of two infield boots
by E.-I>g and Sicking. Eddie's misplay
was on a hard hit ball ami was more or
less an excusable error The ex marine,
Clark, back of the bat had lots of
trouble stopping the speedy Tribesters
In the second game and Shinners stole
three bases, Sicking two and Baird one.
Sherman didn't <eelp out much by keep
ing the runners close to the bases Shin
ners had a big day, stealing four buses,
bitting a home run and grabbing a line
drive off of Clark with one hand for a
sensational catetr.
Sherman, who no doubt wss pitching
his best for the G. A. It. veterans,
marched along in fine style until the big
eighth when, forgetting the record of the
famous general, he faltered and was
bombarded for three runs. Kehg, who
was on by a fielder’s choice, was tripled
hen;.- by Covington and then Shinners
Lit a homer to center and the damage
was done.
Win Them Both

BIG TEN VOTES
AGAINST TRIPS
Indiana’s Proposed Post-
Season Jaunt to Seattle De
nied by Conference.
BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Sept. 29.—In
diana University will not play a post
season football game with the University
of Washington at Seattle as planned.
The request of t.he Crimson authorities
to make the trip has been denied by
other schools of the Western conference.
After the offer came, the Indiana ath
letic authorities gave their -permission,
and the Indiana committee for the pro
motion of the university Interests haa no
objection. However, when the matter
was put up to other schools of the “Big
Ten," a majority of them voted "No,''
and the trip will have to be abandoned.
It was proposed to play the game some
time after the close of the regular sea
son, possibly during the Thanksgiving
vacation
The refusal of Conference authorities
Is taken to mean that no more post-season
games will he played by any schools of
the "Big Ten” such as Ohio State played
last year with California.
The Hoosier squad scrimmaged the
freshmen for twenty minutes behind
locked gates Wednesday evening and reg
istered two touchdowns. Quarter Back
Burnett carried the ball over for the first
marker five minutes after the kick oft
and Burke skirted right end for the sec
ond touchdown at the dose of the work
out. The youngsters held the varsity
remarkably well and broke up several
plays.
TWO WABASH
FORWARDS HURT
CRAW FORDS VILLE, Ind., Sept. 29
Wabash grid players and rooters are
putting in some heavy licks these days
tuning up for the big clash with Purdue
at Lafayette Saturday. So great has the
competition been for places on the team
that the pace has told on some of the
athletes and they are bothered with in
jury handicaps Nilstead and Stuil, both
crack linemen, are out of action tempo
rarily with bruises. Milstead, the star
tackle of last season, may recover in
time for the Purdue struggle, but 't Is
not thought that Stull will be back in
harness for about ten days or two weeks.
Seidensticker, half back, has been able
to work off his class deficiency and he
has rejoined the squad. "Seldy” starred
In the Purdue contest last season.
New* from Lafayette indicates that
Purdue Is figuring on handing the Scar
let a decisive defeat, but if Wabash de
termination counts the game doubtless
will develop into h close, hard fought
contest. Coach Vaughan has not itidi
cated how In- will Rue up the Scariet
warriors Saturday, but the starting line
•t is expect'd to be similar to that used
iu the Auguatanu game last week.

MORE THAN FOOD
NEAR EAST NEED
Woman Member of American
Commission Says Edu
cation Necessary.
America must do mot* than feed the
war sufferers and the refugees in th*
Near East, if It Intends to provide last
ing relief for the thousands whose only
hope In life is aid from America, accord
ing to Mrs. Florence Spencer Duryea,
who returned recently from Europe. She
la the only women member of a commis
sion sent over by the Near East Relief.
Eleven countries were visited by the
party, although the official inspection
was limited to Armenia, Georgia and
Turkey. Mrs. Duryea says that wonder
ful work Is being done by-Near East Re
lief in caring for 110,000 orphans, but
tha, everywhere she was oppressed by
the fact that so much more should be
done, and that the American people should
be brought to realize that more money
is essential to give lasting aid. She be
lieves that next to food, education is the
greatest essential. A boat load of teach
ers, such as were sent over to the Philip
pines in the early days of occupation
there, would effect good in the Near East,
shq believes.
“The first impressioYi I got of the Near
East," Mrs. Duryea said, "was that it
was a land of orphans. It is tragic to
see is and thousands of helpless
children in barren rooms, many of them
suffering from trachoma, which is one
of the terrible problems of that affected
part of the world. When, passing
through street after street, you see the
victims huddled in the dark passages and
dare not touch them or objects near
them, a chill of depression and hopeless
ness overtakes you. In Alexandropol 12.-
000 children are housed In old Russian
barracks, and the congestion, particular
ly In the hospitals, is so great that in
many cases four children have to sleep
on one cot.”
