Meantime, the New York Yankees were trouncing the fourth-place Cleveland Indians, 8 to 3.

The Browns winning marker was unearned. Chet Laabs walked, went to third on Vern Stephens' single and scored on a wild throw by Lou Blair.

Hudson tossed a three-hitter for 6'i innings of relief work, started a "two-run seventh-inning rally and drove in a run in the eighth with his third successive hit. Bill Zuber yielded five runs on nine hits, including homers by Pinky Higgins and Dutch Meyer, but Hudson restored order when he came on the scene in the third. The Senators, meanwhile, shelled Virgil tire rucks irom the mound and plastered Al Benton, relief pitcher, with his 11th defeat.

Squad Boosts Bears9 Hopes Phoenix Junior College seems set for a great football season with one of the most promising squans in the history of the school in prospect. Twenty-three candidates checked out suits yesterday, and Coach George (Dutch) Hoy expects that number to be Increased to 40 by the end of the week. As was the case last year. Hoy has a wealth of backfield material, but is comparatively weak on the line. Eleven of the players who checked out suits yesterday are backs most of them very good ones.

Included in the lot is a complete set of veteran backs Kimball Merrill. Ralph Smith, Les Harris, and Morrison' Warren. Merrill, heaviest of the four, scales an even 200, while Harris, the lightest weighs in at 180. Hoy has a veteran center in John Pettus and a pair of varsity ends in J. C.

Montgomery and Laurence Perry. The crop of guards and tackles is a little scant, with the tackle problem particularly trving. Hoy hopes other players expected to enroll in the next lew days will solve the problem. The Bruins took a brief workout in light equipment yesterday and will duplicate it today. They will buckle down to hard work Thursday by which time registration at the junior college will be complete.

14 (AP) Already knocked out as a possible pennant-contender by the New York Yank win earlier in the afternoon at Cleveland, the Boston Red Sox today dropped a 4-0 contest to Chicago's White Sox in the third gamejjf their series. Each "side made eight hits, but Johnny Humphries scored a shutout for his 11th victory of the season. Heber Newsome was the victim of the Chicago team's attack. The White Sox scored their first run in the first inning. With two out, Val Heim walked and counted a moment later when Luke Appling doubled to left.

The Chicago team got another in the second and two in the fourth. There were two out when Tresh got his first double and he scored when Humphries doubled to right. Dario Lodigiani started the White Sox' fourth-inning attack when he singled to left and stole second. Webb popped to Heber Newsome and Lodigiani scored when Tresh got his second two-bagger, a smash to left field. Tresh scored on a single by Kolloway.

Yamks Bonham Halts Indians, 8-3, For 20th Win CLEVELAND, Sept. 14 (AP) The Yankees made it official today, clinching the 1942 American Ieague pennant as they defeated the Ar.dianSjS to 3. behind the pitch ing or- Big i.rnie Bonnam. No matter what happens from here on in. the Bronx Bombers have fjualied for their second straight World Series and their sixth in the last seven years.

With 98 victories and 47 defeats, they can lose all their remaining contests and still finish in front of the second-place Boston Red Sox. Bonham. mainstav of the champions' staff all season, allowed the Indians nine hits as he hung up his 20th triumph of tlie year and was not at his brilliant best, but his teammates smackee" AI Smith and Vern Kennedy so lustily it didn't matter. The Yanks took their newest honors with modesty and little excitement. By this time it is a familiar story to Manager Joe McCarthy and most of his players They movea on immediately to Detroit, where thev open a series Wednesday.

Since they moved firmly into the league leadership last May 6, the Yanks never were headed nor their lead seriously threatened. They held their longest lead August 2. when they were 13 games ahead of BoFton. They clinched last year's flag September 4, a feat they were not quite able to match this time. Their longest winning streak was one of 11 games in Julytheir longest losing string five straight late in June, Smith, who started today's game for Cleveland, not deserve everything that happened to him.

Working smoothly, he held the Yanks scoreless the first four innings and went into the fifth holding a two-run lead. But in that fram? his support went to pieces and the Yankees pi'shed over four runs on three hits and two Cleve land errors. Joe DiMaggio's 19th homer, one of his four hits of the game, added another Yank run in the seventh, and Vernon Kennedy was pounded for a final three tallies in the ninth. It was DiMaggio's first homer in nearly a month Although Manager McCarthy, himself, has declined to compare his present club with his six previous pennant winners, many observers think it deserves to rank close to his btst. Its pitching staff, in particular, has stood out, and its defense, revolving around the miraculous Joe Gordon, has been plain murder to opposint batters.

With nine games yet to play, the Yanks virtually are certain to pass the 100 mark in victories for the sixth time in the McCarthy regime. They have a good rhanee of breaking their own record of 196 double plays set last year. Only once during the summer did the cmb look like it might be running -Into real McCarthy had neen sick, Joe DiMaggio and Charlie Keller were not hitting their collective weight, and the club generally was in the doldrums. Thej most serious problem was at third base, where Frankie Crosetti and Gerald Priddy. taking turns, were not able quite to hold down the post in pennant-winning fashion, i Red Rolfe, pale as a sheet from a long, wasting illness that had kept him cn the bench since the start of the campaign, told McCarthy he might be able to go in and play his old position for a few games at least until the team got going again.

McCarthy, with serious qualms, let Red have a try at it. The cure for the Yanks was quick and permanent. With Rolfe back at the hot corner, beltingfhome runs in the clutches and shoring up the one weakness their defense, the Yankees caugh hold again and pulled away from their pursuers for good.

Pennant Races At A Glance (By Associated Press) The Yankees having clinched the American League flag by their victory over Cleveland yesterday, fans can settle down and give their undivided attention to the National League race from here on. As matters stood in that embattled circuit today, the St.

Louis Cardinals were a game and one half in front of Brooklyn and had good chance to extend their margin to two full games in their contest with the Phils the only game scheduled in the league. Here is the situation in a nutshell: To play St. Louis 96 47 11 Brooklyn 94 48 12 Remaining schedule: St. Louis: September 15 at Philadelphia; 16, 17, at Boston; 19, 20 at Chicago; 21. 22, Pittsburgh; 23, 24.

Cincinnati; 26, 27. Chicago. Brooklyn: September 16. 17. Pittsburgh; 18, 19, 20 (2), Philadelphia: 22.

New York; 23, Philadelphia; 24, 25, Boston; 26. 27. at Philadelphia. The Yankees, with 98 victories and 47 defeats, could drop all their remaining nine oames and finish ahead of the Boston Red Sox, who had won 88 and lost 57. If they YOIi their eight remaining games th Sox would finish 96-57.

means they will be In action in each week from September 27 until they close their season November 28. The Bulldogs are slated to open in San Francisco against the powerful San Frpncisco Dons. The game also will be a return appearance in Border conrerence competition ot oarrett Aroeibiae, former Trojan All-America who coached at Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff until Maurice Moulder took over in the fall of 1940. Arbelbide is the coach of the Santa Ana Air Base squad. Arbel-bide's Fliers dropped their season opener to the Hollywood Bears, coast professional champions, by a 34-26 score yesterday.

Coach Hilman Walker of the Tempes put on the pressure today as his squad started on its secona week of practice. Thirty-three men were in action, but only four were returning varsity men. Bernard Vitek and- Al Onofrio, veteran backs, are the spearheads of the attack Coach Walker is fashioning. Vitek will be romping from the left-half post, while Onofrio will perform at fullback. Humbert Figueroa, 145-pound scatback from the frosh squad, and Roy Cours, frosh hope, are battling for a backfield berth.

Coach Walker expects to have a big bruising line to lead the way for his ball-carriers. Capt. Steve Vuk-cevich at end and 'John Baklarz, tackle, are the veterans who are expected to be the mainstays in the forward wall. A host of sophomores and freshmen are fighting it out for the other line positions. Al Van Hazel, up from the frosh, is slated to hold down the center post.

Tom Jonovich and Frank Lindsey are two newcomers walker was glad to see this week. Jonovich is the boy who sparked the freshman eleven last year. He'll be doing plenty of tricks in the backfield. with Lindsey slated to possibly hold down one of the end berths. "I think things are shaping up pretty good right now," Coach Walker said.

"At least things aren't as dismal as they were the first day of practice. I've got some good candidates for the line, not to mention some mighty fine boys in the backfield. I just hope the other teams that were hard hit like we were haven't had too good luck in their hunt for some material. There are going to be some unusual ball clubs this year." Giants Drub Pirates, 6-1 NEW YORK. Sept.

14 (AP) The Giants bunched all six of their hits in two scoring innings to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to 1, today and sweep the three-game series. Lefty Lloyd Dietz, Pittsburgh starting pitcher, was knocked out in the first inning when the Giants scored four runs on as many hits. Babe Barna drove three across with a base-claning double and scored, himself, on Bill Jurges' single. Dick Bartell clouted his fifth home run of the season with one aboard off Nick Strincevich in the fifth for the Giants' other runs. Hal Schumacher pitched six-hit ball for his 11th victory.

The Pi rates bunched two of their blows for their only run in the fourth.

Phalanx Beats Fort Wayne Ten (Exclusive Republio Dispatch) FORT WAYNE, Sept. 14 The Phalanx Fraternity ten of Phoenix, Arizona and Pacific coast champion, defeated the Zollner Pistons. 3-0, in an exniouion son-ball game here tonight. The Phalanx club faced an old friend on the mound, Leonard Murray, who formerly hurled in Phoenix. The visitors nicked Murray and Lukens for seven hits, while Coon Rosen and Pat Patrick held the Fort Wayne ten to two.

Coach Larry Rouble had hoped that the opening of classes would bring out some promising grid recruits. None of any sort showed up. To make matters worse, Frank Gillespie, veteran hack, reinjured his weak ankle and may be sidelined for some time. The center problem continues Rouble's No. 1 headache with no relief in sight.

The one thing certain is that Jim Cahill, veteran pivot man, is lost for the season. He injured his back severely in an auto wreck during the summer. Cahill was developing into a capable line backer, teaming with slender Dave Goodwin at the job. The Coyote quarterback still is around, but cannot handle all the line-backing chores himself. George Beeler, assistant coach, helped Rouble in yesterday's drills and will continue to work with the varsity, doing the job which fell to Vernon Tuckey last year.

R. V. Zegers will handle the Grays as he did last year. The Jhoenix second squad will meet this afternoon to organize and may work out for a day or two in shorts before equipment is issued. School officials are working on a schedule of games for the Grays.

Braves9 Rally Topples Cubs BOSTON, Sept. 14 (AP) A four-run eighth inning, high lighted by Max West's third homer of the three-game series, gave the Boston Braves a 4-to-2 victory today over the Chicago Cubs.

Lee left the game because of illness, and Hi Bithorn took over.

After Sisti's walk, Nanny Fernandez beat out a bunt off Bithorn. Ernie Lombardi's grounder bounced off Bithorn, and Sisti scored. Paul Waner's single to left scored Fernandez, and West's 14th homer of the season brought in the third and fourth runs. Chicago's first run came in the second inning when Lou Novikoff doubled off the center-field fence and scored on Glen Russell's single to right. In the third inning, Len-nie Merullo walked, went to second on a balk by Bill Donovan and to third on Lee's bunt.

His condition was described as The St. Mary's High School Knights, facing one of their toughest tests of the season in the grid season inaugural with the North Phoenix Mustangs in Phoenix Union High School Stadium Friday night, worked through two heavy-duty practice sessions yesterday.

Coach Jack (Frenchy) Bouchard, who is directing the Knights for the first time this season, sent the St. Mary's squad through a workout yesterday morning, then had the Knights back on the job last night. Both defense and offense were stressed during the workouts. Joe Ayers, the hard-hitting' fullback who is slated to be the big gun in the Knights' attack, has been leading the way in the practice sessions. Ayers has tried his hand on the firing end of the Knights' aerial game, and also has taken his turn in punting drills.

Another oackfield hope who is traveling at a fast pace in the workouts is Carlos (Trampa) Buir rea, transter irom tnanaier. uir- rea is the speed merchant in the Knights' assault, and shifty halfback has shown the speed that should make him a threat when he packs the ball against the Mus- The St. Mary's forwards are be ginning to hit ana tacKie in me manner of the Knights of a year ago. and they may give the big North Phoenix linemen a real bat tle when they line up against each other Friday night. Bob McDonald at end, Gordon Mason at tackle and Pete Valenzuela at center have come a long wray in practice and should be in the thick of the inaugural battle.

Coach Bouchard will send tne Knights through another tough session today in which they will mix in scrimmage that should help toughen them for the pounding they are expected to take from the favored Mustangs. Meet eries Slated Today CHICAGO, Sept. 14 (UP) Baseball's top executives meet tomorrow to make final arrangements for a war-year World Series and a distribution of the bulk of the diamond classic's profits to re lief agencies. The New York Yankees, who today clinched their second straight American League pennant, and the National League's two bitter contenders, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers, were invited to send representatives to meet with Kenesaw M.

Jandis, commissioner, and William Harridge and Ford Frick, league presidents. Of the three clubs involved in the series picture only the Cardinals accepted and Sam Breadon, president, will represent the league leaders. The Dodgers selected Frick to speak for them, and the Yankees nominated Harridge as their delegate. There was considerable tongue-wagging over the decision of Larry MacPhail, Dodger president, not to come here for the meeting. Some observers translated' the decision as a new admission by the stormy MacPhail that his once "beloved bums" cannot catch the flying Cards who now lead the race by a game-and-a-half margin.

When Brooklyn was the National League pace-setter MacPhail permitted no one but himself to make decisions regarding the fortunes of the Dodgers. The absence of Ed Barrow, president of the Yankees, was regarded in a different light. The world champions seldom haggle over conference table details and any playing arrangement will be satisfactory to them. The aeries this year will open in the National League city probably on Tuesday, September 29. If the Cardinals win the pennant there'll be an off-day for travel between the second and third games and the fifth and sixth contests, if the latter are required.

If Brooklyn is the Yankee opponent there'll be no off-days. The Yankees already have opened their series ticket sale. The Cardinals have had series tickets printed, but will not accept orders until the pennant has been clinched. Jockey Injured In Race Mishap PAWTUCKET, R. Sept.

(AP) Jockey George McMullen, 22 years old, of Fall River was seriously injured today when thrown from his mount. urooKmeaae sta ble's Sea Power, at the start of the second race at Narragansett Park. McMullen was knocked uncon sciot's by the fall, and was admitted to Notre Dame Hospital in Central Falls where physicians said he suf- ryiNNING streans commonly go on the block, when St. Mary's and North Phoenix meet on the football field. Friday night's game at the Phoenix Union High School Stadium will be no exception, for the Knights won nine in a row in sewing up the state title last year.

The Mustangs dropped early games to St. Mary's and Mesa and then went on rampage, finishing with an unbroken string of six victories. Incidentally, Coach Roily Caldwell's boys are out to prove nine an number again. North Phoenix won the 1940 state title and had a string of nine consecutive victories when the Knights upset them in last year's opener. Memories of that game have led Caldwell to stress offense since the Wild Horses opened practice September 1.

It was ball-carrying weakness which cost last year's game. St. Mary's scored early and then made that six points stand up with a sterling defense that stopped tne Caldwell crew four times in scoring territory. Mustang scoring threats faded on the 13-yard line, the 15-yard the 11-yard line, and once on the one-foot line. Railbirds have the impression that the North Phoenix offense is clicking much more effectively than at this time last year.

The Mustang mentor has thus iar spent little time 0.1 defensive tac tics. It is difficult to set a defense for St. Mary's for nothing is known of the type of play to expect of the team coached by Jack (Frenchy) Bouchard, who is directing the Knignts destinies for the first time this ear. Late in the week Caldwell ex pects to devote a little time to set ting a defense to s.op the bull-like rushes of Joe Ayers. veteran, who is playing fullback for St.

Mary's. Carlos (trampa) Buirrea, Chandler transfer, is another lad the Mustangs will watch as he showed him self a tricky runner in spring drills. AVers was the key man in the Knight's attack in spring workouts, however. Pass defense is another thing that will get some stress at North Phoenix this week. It was a long aerial which set up the Knight's winning touchdown last year.
