The BROWNSVILLE HERALD SPORTS SECTION
TH1 LID eomea off the Valley
football container this afternoon
at Harlingen when the Cardinals
taka on the Edinburg Junior &J
lege Brones. This tilt will be watch
ed with interest by those attempt
ing to get a line on the two elevens.
The concensus is that the Brones
will be weak this year. They have
lost much good material through ,
graduation. The other question to
be settled is: "How about Dutch j
Rektorlk's new forward wa!P"
Therein is the question which might
well be the solution to the Valley |
high school title chase.
IP BEAR stories coming out of j
Edinburg are correct. Harlingen i
should have a slight edge in this J
afternoon's game.
Hard at It
THE BROWNSVILLE high school I
Screaming Eagles are continuing
to pour it on with determination
The relatively Inexperienced squad
fully realises that it has a tough
row to hoe this year and it is sop
ping up all the football it can be
fore the season opens. Little Pla
Gonzales, the Mighty Mite.!
Jsve a small clump of fans a thrill i
yesterday by returning a punt 65
yards for a touchdown in a practice
scrimmage. The run recalled the
Eagle-Cardinal game or last year
Placldo was a thorn in the side
of the Red Birds.
“NO POSITION on the team is
sewed up." Red Irvine says. "Every
bov on the squad has a chance to
make the starting eleven. I like
the hustle and spirit shown by
them."
HERBY THOMAS and Beshear
are waging a vigorous fight for the
center post Thomas showed up in
camp weighing around 160. And it
wasn't fat. because he has lost bm
two pounds after three weeks of
hard work. Beshear. a newcomer,
has made a good Impression e‘. the
position.
CAROL McMINN, Walter Wash
ington, Earl Adams and Walter
Williams are scrapping hard for
wing positions. McMinn was on
the Eagle squad last year. Wash- |
ington got some experience with .
the Eaglets. Adams came here from
El Jardtn and has made a good
showing.
SIDNEY BENNETT and "Lofo"
Escobar are shewing decided im
provement at the tackle positions \
Goodrich and Isidor Longoria are j
making them step. Bennett and
Escobar got lots of game experience
with the Eagles last season.

CHARLEY BAKER. Enns. Eagan

newcomer, was not eligible and
came here too late for the season
A number of these Eaglet backs
really were of first string raliber
but they were placed with the
Eaglets in order to obtain game
experience.
BOLTON, a newcomer from
Sweetwater, is showing good form
This back, weighing around 160
sticks a hefty boot Into the oval
and will likely see much service
before the vear is out. Although
Bolton did not letter at Sweetwater,
ha shows indication of becoming a
classy back.
STILL SORE from the first week's
hard work, the Brownsville Junior
college squad is rounding into con
dition. This squad, the best that
ever turned out for a Brownsville
eleven, should be in fair shape for
it-, first game next Thursday with
the Harlin-jeu h!gh Cardinals, Val

A’s Clinch Flag; Cardinals Beat Robins 4-3
ST. LOUIS HAS:
GAME LEAD
Sunny Jim's Home Run Is
Deciding Factor In
Card Victory
Bv HUGH 8. FULLERTON, JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
Once more Connie Mack has led
the Philadelphia Athletics to the
point where they have nothing to
do but look forward to a new world
series in which to conquer—or to
be conquered, and from current In
dications in the race for the Nation
al league flag, it appears that the
St. Louis Cardinals will be their ri
vals in the struggle for the world's
championship.
The Athletics made a formal set
tlement of the American league pen
nant race yesterday, clinching the
title beyond the last shadow of
doubt by downing the Chicago White
Sox. 14 to 10, for their 99th victory
of the season while Cleveland ended
Washington’s chances with a 3 to 2
triumph over the Senators. At the
same time, the Cards were drawing
farther ahead of their rivals in the
senior circuit, defeating Brooklyn
for the third straight time. *4 to 3.
to gain a two game margin over the
Robins.
Cards Cop Third
A third stirring triumph in as
many games placed the Cardinals in
a fairly safe position as they left
to start a five game series in Phila
delphia. Brooklyn and Chicago,
their only remaining rivals of im
portance. have three more games in
the lost column and little hope that
the Phillies and Pittsburgh will up
set the Cards. The New York Giants
are out of the race for all practical
purposes, being 5 1-2 games behind
despite yesterday's 6 to 2 triumph
over Chicago
Today the leaders stand as fol
lows.

mons of the
.. ,, , Giants did the
•Inn Bottomley major part of the
work in holding the Cubs in third
place by alloting them only six scat
tered hits while the Giants walloped
Bush and Nelson for eleven blows.
Clinching of the American league
pennant by the Athletics was at
tended by comparatively little ex
citement. Since their great spurt
early in August when they took a
ten game lead, it had been almost
a certainty that the Athletics fi
nally would win despite the strenu
ous and futile efforts of the Sena
tors. The end came in an unim
pressive fashion in an up-and-down
scoring match with two five run
rallies and a 20-hit attack to pro
duce a Philadelphia victory. Cleve
land gave the A’s considerable aid
as the Indians backed Wesley Fer
rell with some timely hitting to give
him his 25th victory of the season in
a close duel with Sad Sam Jones
The principal figure again was
Connie Mack. Philadelphia's 68
year-old leader, who reached his
eighth championship and his sev
enth world series since he took
charge of the Athletics. Before this
season. Mack had led teams to
championships in 1902. 1905. 1910,
1911, 1913. 1914 and 1929. Four times
the Athletics have won the world's
title, in 1910. 1911. 1913 and 1929.
Koenig Hurls
The lesser teams of the two
leagues, battling for nothing in par
ticular provided some startling In
novations and three close games to
complete the day's schedule. Mark
Koenig. Detroit shortstop, made an
appearance on the pitcher’s mound
against Boston and although the
Tigers lost 4 to 3. the blame could
not be laid at his door The Red
Sox had completed their scoring
against Bridges in the earlier in
nings.
Charley Ruffing. New York Yank
ee hurler. proved more successful
as a batter than on the mound. He
did not get credit for the Yank's
7-to-6 .ten-inning victory over the
St. Louis Browns although he con
tributed two home runs toward it.

Sacker, Hitt At
Hard Clip
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept, lfl.—<*»>—
The Fort Worth Panther* and the
Memphis Chickasaws moved today
to the lair of the Panther t© renew
tomorrow the southern baseball war
of 1930—the Panthers, with two of
the four victories needed to pro
claim them champions of all the
south stowed away and the Chicks
nursing the wounds of two battles
lost, but still luil of fight.
1 he Texas League champions
made It two in a row over the
Chicks, Southern Association pen
nant winners, yesterday by taking
the second game of the Dixie /cries
4 to 1. Tlie initial series game went
.o tort Worth, 4 to 3.
“We haven't quit by a long shot,”
was the parting word of "Doc" Pro
uiro, Memphis manager, before he
marshalled his team aboard a train
tor Texas last night. Three victories
in Texas he held within the realm
of possibility. “At any rate, we'll
oe in there battling.” he said.
"Were not figuring this series
•von by any means.” Frank Snyder,
Panther pilot said. ‘ Memphis has
a rattling good ball club—an out
lit hard to beat—and while we have
a little edge now, the series isn’t
settled until one club takes four
games.”
Dick Whitworth held Memphis to
seven scattered hits yesterday and
spectacular fielding curbed several
prospective Memphis runs. Harry
Ke’ly allowed 13 hits. Fort Worth
made one error, Memphis three.
Kelly struck out five, Whitworth
one. Whitworth walked one, Kelly
four.
Star*
Leslie Mallon. youthful Panther
second sacker, loomed today as the
star of the series with a record
of seven hits including three doubles
in seven times officially at bat m
the two games. On each of his three
other trips to the plate he walked.
He also accepted 15 chances with
out an error.
Manager Prothro announced that
"Kit” May probably would be sent
to the mound for Saturday's game
at Fort Worth. May, like all the
other pitchers who have had a hand
I ' ■ ■ —
in tht series so far, is a right
hander. After three games In Texas.
If the championship is not settled,
th« teams will return here for a
game next Wednesday.
The delegation of Texas fans and
th Port Worth Police band which
accompanied the Port Worth club
to Memphis, returned with the team
last night. Memphis fans will re
turn the visit, leaving tonight.

STAR BACKS
IN UNIFORM
Shelley, Leland,
Expected to Sho'
Old Form __
BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer
Three members of the 1929 All
Southwest Conference backfleld
compiled by the Associated Press
are tuning up for the approaching
season. They are Dexter Shelley of
the University of Texas, Jake Wil
son of Baylor, and Cy Lelnad of
Texas Christian. The only missing
member of last year's all-star quar
tet is Howard Grubbs, brilliant
Frog quarterback: and. no one
knows it better than Coach Francis
Schmidt.
Whether Shelley, Leland and
Wilson will repeat is another ques
tic i. Shelley and Wilson should.
! Leland will have to overcome the
! handicap of a shift from his fam
iliar halfback position to that of
quarterback, replacing Grubbs.
Last year the fleet Cyrus had
nothing on his mind except to take
that ball In the shortest time pos
sible where Grubbs bade him. This
| season he will have the responsib
ility of selecting plays. There are
j quarterbacks who stem to divine
the right play Instinctively and then
go ahead and play a whale of a
game otherwise Such a one was
Grubbs. There are others who let
the task of directing . e team take
up all their time. Whether the
luminous Leland can be both an
able field general and a great ball
carrier remains to be seen.
It Is doubtful that the Frog flash
will make the number of long,
spectacular dashes he did last year.
For several reasons. He will be
watched and “covered" like no oth
er back in the conference. Every
time he lifts an evebrow an oppos
ing forward will jump 1 nthat di
rection. whatever direction It might
be. Added to that, he will not hav*
the superb set of blockers that
cleared his path In 1999 Or bbs Is
gone, and so are Brumbelow, Walk
er, Handler, Roberson. Barr and
Moore. No one who saw Leland s
90-yard pua# return against Baylor
will soon forget how thV- set of
huskies cut down the Bears, one
bv one, as Cy galloped down the
field.
