By JAMES C. ISAMINGER AL SIMMONS end Tris Speaker carried off the honors in the twin clinch at Shibe Park yesterday Afternoon. Simmons won an and Tris captured two ball games.

It was a clean mopping up of the series 'for the Ohioans, who won the first tug, to 2, and repeated in the second, to O. It was between these two games that Al, the base-hit slapper. jumped into the picture, for he was called from the bench and presented with a shining new car for being the most valuable Athletic player of 11)25.

No Glory for Penn Warriors The Ited and Blue-clad warriors pre vailed, of course, and in asserting their superiority came within two points or duplicating the 34 points rolled up against Ursinus a year ago. But it is ju'st as certain that Coach Lou Young and his assistants will drape no laurel timing and waves of cheers swept over the park when the car was slipped to the black-haired Adonis from Milwaukee. Spectators plainly approved the choice of the jury of baseball writers "who picked Al for the honor. Cleveland's double triumph enabled the Indians to tie the Athletics in the season's series. Each team won eleven games, the Indians making a bettor showing against the Athletics than any other Western team.

The playing of the Athletics was limp in both games. There was no drive to their aftnek rnd their fielding transgressions were many and serious. Al Coilccts Five Hits Simmons, hero of the afternoon, filled thf part wel! by sordine his lattin average alve the mark with four hits in the first game and one in the second.

although the eladiators of Penn rolled ud five touchdowns, their of fensive gestures were, without firmness, without cohesion. At times the Quaker- attack was irresistable, with alt I the backs reeling off substantial gams, hut this power was intermittent. It was not sustained. Against little Ur sinus, it was sufficient, but against a major opponent it would have been futile. Of course, it was the first game ot the season, and little was to be expected.

Nevertheless, only eleven first downs against Ursinus is nothing to estatic epistles about. And be cause it is so early in the season tne i Macks in the frt frame. Kommel, who pitched the first eisht innings, I and llarriss. who finished, were the victims of maladroit support. The de- i feat was charged to Rommel.

Rookie Levsen, of held the A to eleven hits and they were distributed anions four plavers, all following each other in the batting order. Al Simmons led with four safe clicks out of five times at bat Bill Lamar had three swats and Poole and Hale two each. Levsen was always at his best with men on bases. Often he threatered to come apart repeated fumbling both teams were guilty of may well be excused. Defense Efficient As Ever Let the hammer be laid away and the optimistic mirror swung into action.

Let the story be sung of Penn dazzling I defense a defense that promises to be as efficient as that which the Quaker team of 1924 de -y- icv veloped, a defensive that smeared tne hard-running Ursinus backs without a first down. As a matter of fact, the total distance gained by the Collegeville eleven vras negligible. Let tribute be paid to that much-discussed back. Charlie Iiogers, whi burned up the gridiron with the scrubs last year, and who made his debut as a varsity player yesterday. It is evident that Rogers isn't himself as yet, for his work lacked the snap and fire out cacii time he recuperated.

No fewer than 15 Macks were left on base in this game. Speaker also had something in the bag the second grime when he sent Benge. his rooXie right-hander, to the mound and the youth was so abashed that all he could do was to blank the Athletics with four little singles. He was as steady as the Rock of Gibraltar and the Macks had about as much chance against his skillful service as a dollar bill in a Florida realty transaction. The Indians lumped their hits on that made his play scintillate last sea son.

But the lithe and speedy Kogers showed enough to convince every one BETWEEN Washington and Pittsburgh will travel the ball tosteri this fall and The Inquirer's Famous Fifty.

The Quakers scored a total of five touchdowns, one in the first period, another in. the second, a third in the next period, and added two in the fourth and last quarter. Twice the extra points from touchdowns were reaped when Al Kruez booted goals from placement, but the other three were missed, one going wide and Ursinus crashing through the line to block the other two boots.

suuna game. ALTOOXA, Sept. 26. PROUl in their triumph, victorious in their might, the dauntless sous and daughters of the Eastern region today became the athletic champions of the Pennsylvania Railroad Sj'Stem at the annual field day held in this city nestling in the mountains. 'Twas only after a bitter battle, however, that the valor and skill of the Easterners touched their pennon with the glint and glory of victory, for their fraternal foes of the Central Region fought them every inch of the route.

Eastern triumph is written in the points that came to the sturdy sons and neet-footed maids, while Central, leading rivals for the contested honors, scored 1G4l points. Philadelphia, represented bv the lads and lassies of the General Offices, were third with HI1-! points, and in order came the Western Region, with 5, and Altoona, hosts for the occasion, with 382 points. The East richly merited its reward, and earned its triumph in the might of a balanced team that etched shining success over the many trails of endeavor that marked today's athletic feud. Though she was forced to struggle bitterly, though she almost found her match in the sturdiness of the Central army, the effete East always had enough in reserve to battle her way to triumph. But if victory was denied the Phila-delphians in the larger measure of their endeavors, the pretty maids of the Quaker City won the gratitude of their brothers and undying fame for themselves by the majesty of their efforts as queens of the cinder trail.

Their victories over circular ribbon were the real outstanding features of today's gigantic festival. Ruth Dodd Heroine Bedecked with garlands and laurelt in this quest of Philadelphia for fam and glory was Miss ltu(li Dodd, prettj petite and powerful on vihe track. No only did she carry tL-'gage of battle for her mates, but she earned the individual triumph meted to the stellar performer of the meet. A track team in herself, she scored 122 points, easily the greatest among the lassies who strived for fortune and for. title here today.

'Twas meet and fitting that she gracefully accepted the token of her prowess, a magnificent silver cup donated by a local store for the queen of the festival. Not only did she excel her sisters, but she stood in iter own niche as the best performer of either sex to grace today's programme. Twice in the sprints, in the uO-yards and the century, she forged to the front and shattered the tape, a victor in thrilling encounters. Then running as anchor on the relay team, she raced home to victory, and by the dint of her splendid efforts afoot, dethroned Chicago's maidens as champions and brought that honor and crown to her native heath. A whit behind his speeding sister, raced Joe Bartholomew, who conquered his rivals in both the senior 100-yards dash and the furlong.

This cub of the Nittany Lion, who raced here today under the paternal eye of Nate Cart-mell, track coach of his alma mater, proved the other double winner of the battlefield. Bartholomew was easily -the class of all the gallant knights of the spiked shoes who contested the sprints. Away with the bark of the pistol in both his triumphs, he held his foes in cash from the start. Running easily, tlways with plenty of stuff in reserve, le breasted the tape twice in triumph, ind so powerful was he in victory, that events became a hollow conquest 'or this fleet son of I'enn State. As an event the meet ranked with ts predecessors, and takes its stand one of the outstanding programmes bi' afforded to any multitude of spec-itors.

IT TOOK the PhilMes twelve innings to beat the Cubs, but they eventually succeeded by a score of -1 to 2. Mitchell's single, Leach's double and two sacrifice flies tell the story of that twelfth frame. Darkness was fast descending on the park when the end came and rain began to fall before the athletes left the grounds.

But this did not trouble the Quakers, because they won the contest and are now only a game and a half out of seventh place. L'lrich was the winning pitcher. To this young star fell the lot of replacing Carlson in the ninth with the score tied. The importance of his duties must have weighed heavily on him, because he -did not permit a hit, retiring the ide in successive order for four frames. The Cubs did not come anywhere near a safety.

In the twelfth, with two runs to his credit, UlriCh refused to ease up. He simply tossed the ball over and the locals popped up for the final outs. John Fred Blake opposed Carlson at the start. Each twirled well. Harold got along fine until Munson, a rookie from some unknown minor league, found him for a double.

Grimm- followed with a single and the tally which the Quakers had garnered in the second was equaled Carlson settled down after this bit of erratic twirling and it was not until the seventh that the Bruins scored again. This time Gonzales started thr fireworks with a single to centre ani Adams ended it with a single to left. The added marker gave the Cubs the advantage, but only for a short time.
