The Pittsburg club has a group of colored stars that have been assembled from the best colored teams in the country.

Resplendent in new uniforms, fresh from the rough and tumble of the practice field, prepared to fight for an unblemished season record, the Avalanche will attempt today to prove that it is to be the greatest eleven of Altoona schol astic history and not just a flash in the pan. Half of the Maroon forward wall will be composed of veterans, men tried in the gridiron struggles of 1930, while newcomers will make up the other wing. The backfield will Include, in addition to Milton, Negro fullback star, Dinges and Dillon, clever running-mates, and Laf-ferty, a newcomer to the signal berth, but much-heralded as a fast, shifty player.

The absence of "Ty" Rush, star end and captain of the 1929 championship team, from the line, will be sorely missed, but Patt and Calderwood, speedy regulars, will, see much service and both will probably out- class many competitors throughout the conference.

'Pro' Ruling To Eliminate Rush Played On Same Team With College Coach 'Ty' Can't Be Player Tyrus Rush, 'star end on the 1929 Maroon Avalanche and captain, will not be eligible for participation in Altoona Hiirh school cames this. year, it was announced last night by athletic authorities at the Altoona High school. Rush has-been practicing with the high school team since the beginning of the season and had been highly-touted as the bulwark the forward wall.

The statement of his ineligibil ity comes as a blow to the hopes of Altoona High schftol fans that he would play this year. Last year Rush was not in school and played for the West End club of Lancaster. Altoona High school authorities wrote to P. 1. A.

Belluood American Legion Grid To Be Banner Group The Bellwood American Legion, one of the fastest semi-professional teams in the county, has issued a call for candidates for the 1931 team.

Bellwood American Legion sponsored some of the outtsanding teams in semi-professional football in the county, in the past three or four "years, especially in 1929 and 1930. Practice for this year has been announced for the P. R. R. Y.

Lillv will clash with Portaee townshiD. and Cresson' High school with Huntingdon nign school Although all of the teams are schedl uline minor teams as season openers.

the game between Roaring Spring and Bedford will probably show the greatest competition. Huntingdon boasting always a good scholastic team will meet Cresson filled with hope of an early start toward new laurels, that have been scarce in other years. Altoona's clash with Williamsburg will be the most colorful affair and will be watched from afar by other scholastic teams to whom Altoona's early decisive victories may mean much preparation for harder games later on. Penn Central's ambition was almost realized, and that was beating the Homestead Grays, but just when the boys were headed that way, his honor, Jupe Pluvius, turned on the showers and the game had to be called with Penn Central one run behind. Jim Skelton, on the hill for the locals, was in the best of form and was pitching another of his great games.

Jim was a victim of cir-'iimstances. A lonir flv to left with two on in the fifth, which Thoma just barely missed after a stumble, accounted for the only runs that the Grays could muster. This boy Thomas, outfielder for the Johnstown Mid-Atlantic league team, is a wonderful fly chaser, with a more wonderful arm. He atoned for his stumble a moment later by taking Gibson's line drive and making a perfect throw to the plate, getting Scales, who tried to score, by several feet. He also caught Gibson flat footed when he rounded second on Radcliff's single to left and Thomas made such a quick return of the ball that Gibson had no chance to get back to the keystone sack, and Hiller nailed him at third.

Another 'Dqc' Weber, was in the Penn Central lineup in the Saxton game, and put up a great game. His stop of Scales' wicked, grounder in the third inning was a nifty piece of work and got him a hand from the crowd. He was voted the most valuable and classiest first baseman in the M. A. league for the season just closed.

'Bull Moose' Wineland and' Jim Skelton were the hitting stars for Penn Central against the Grays, both plavers getting two hits. two-base blow that sent Wineland home from first was a beautiful wallop over Harris' head. If Jim could run like he can sing, the hit would have been a home run. Stevens, the star shortstop for the Grays, just recently out of the hospital, played second base for the Gravs. Stevens is a fast man and gets them in all directions and his absence was sorelv missed wmle sick, mis single to right in the fifth started the rally that netted the Grays their twi.

18. P) Lefty Grove hurled the world's champion Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox today and became the first southpaw in American league history to win 30 games in a season. Grove's own single in the third inning started him to victory. His hit was followed by doubles by Moore and immons that provided two runs and enough to win. NEW YORK, Sept.

18. Robert Moses is the first southpaw twirler in the American league and the only one of the current century in either major circuit to achieve 30 victories in one season. He is the first pitcher, either right or left-handed, to reach this high mark since 1920C when Jim Bagby won 31 for Cleveland, then champions of the American league. Back in the old days, the "Iron Man" stunt was recorded by several southpaws. The major league record, so far as the books indicate, was 42 victories by Charles Baldwin of the Detroit National league club in 1886.

Another National league southpaw, Frank Killen of Pittsburg, gained more than 30 victories in 1893 and 1S96. Grove now has a major league rec ord of 145 victories and only 60 defeats. He tied the American league record of 16 consecutive victories this year. He has been defeated only three times, once each by Washington, Chicago and t. Louis.

His present winning percentage of .909 will set a major league record, if he maintains it, with only a' week to go. GROVE, SOUTHPAW! CHICAGO AB. R. H. O.

Some executives who did not know golfers thought the conducting the experiment was riding to a financial fall.

APPRENTICE team is able to put eleven players on the field at the opening of the season, there may be an Apprentice football team; I watched them practice yesterday.

The. drill is being held in the Cricket Park, just outside the railroad To tell the pure, unadulterated truth.it looked more like a battlefield a football practice field. Those boys are tough. Believe it or not, in three plays, straight running, four men were writhing in more or less discomfort all over the field. v- DeMatteis, trying out for a back-field position was one of the causes of the sudden holocaust, It bo happened that Head Coach' Harry Con-roy was putting the boys through a punt-receive-tackle drill.

A possible backfield star took the ball and started up the field with DeMatteis running interference. Three men swerved to intercept the ball-toter. But they reckoned without DeMat-tis. He hurled his body forward and cut one BIG, wide swathe with it. Three others, besides himself rolled on the turf.

Fiore, one of the would-be tacklers got a strained arm muscle out Qf the fracas and Ellstrom, promising player, got a twisted leg. The Apprentice team is heavy, fast, but more than a trifle green, so far as could be gleaned from yesterday's cursory Inspection. They are of high school calibre, though, and could give most scholastic teams a good scrap. THIS BROTHER ACT on the Altoona High school team is going to really mean something to tlie Maroon Avalanche.

Well, this year, smaller editions of the Famous Hoenstine-Mc-Clellan campaigners will be present in the Altoona lineup although they won't start the game. And they're good, too.

An intercepted heave in the second quarter enabled the Dukes to deadlock the count.
