Four straight defeats against the New York Yankees last season hasn't damped enthusiasm for this renewal of the series. In the midst of it all, ticket-scalpers began their operations and expected a harvest if the Series runs long enough to bring the teams back here fo the finish. LOTSA LITTLE CHIPS The no-park-to-use dilemma of the Jackson Senators uncovered a good neighbor of ours in the city of Vicksburg, where authorities issued an invitation to Jackson to use the baseball park there but since it has no lights, it was felt too few fans could motor over for afternoon games, and so the offer was passed up But Prexy Brannon-felt mighty good over the thought that the Hill Citians made the proposal The last pennant Jackson won in the Cotton States we took from Vicksburg. Pardon us for mentioning it, but high school football in Jackson is much too popular to be accommodated by Woodrow Wilson Drive as a parking spot for cars We'll have to make different arrangements before the next clash, the State Fair game with Tupelo and the following week with McComb and talk about Georgia Tech's ability to hide the ball!

Robert Grush took two in this exchange and Tulane began a drive netting two first downs, but Big Fred Cassibry's fumble was neatly scooped up by Tocylowski, ending the rally.

After a punt Toczylowski took an-omer intercepted pass, and then Tulane smothered another Boston aerial attack.

Ely gave the stunned crowd a going home thrfn when he carried it over and Thibaut converted. Boston's superiority in the air and on the ground when offensive power was needed told the story of the surprising upset.

Tulane gained 13 first downs to Boston's 8, but Boston netted 116 yards In the air to Tulane's 81, and lost nothing through fumbles, an old Tulane ailment. Tulane set a near Green Wave record for passes with 16 attempted throws in a single game against its usual four or five, but the attack fizzled until just before th last whistle.

Hunters and outdoor sportsmen of the state are organized into the Mississippi Wildlife Association, a praise-worthy group of insufficient membership. plan is on foot to greatly expand the size and usefulness of the organzaton, and for this purpose, a meeting has been called in Jackson October 10.

Nine district -organizations are being planned with county representatives in all of the 82 counties.

Coach Frank Broyles has received the welcome tidings that Fortier High of New Orleans has accepted terms for a game here with Central High on November 15 hope it's the start of a new rivalry that will carry on through the years. Vicksburg game here in Jackson Is expected to be NEW YORK, Sept. 28 A manager who dared to take chances, players who stood up for him, and all-around team-work and hustle made of a fifth place Detroit club the 1940 pennant-winner in the American League and contender in the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds beginning nex: Wednesday. Del Baker, a catcher by trade and a third base coach by inclination, became a manager by accident and led the surge which reached a climax yesterday quite in keeping with everything that has gone before. The Tigers started out this year with a catcher on iirst base, a first baseman in field, with one great pitcher and one who might go lame, ana with an infield that fairly groaned and creaked of old age.

That same crew was in there for the pennant-clincher yesterday against the Cleveland Indians the same crew, that is, except one. He, of course, is and was Floyd Giebell, the 25-year-old Buffalo Rookie right-hander, who beat Blazing Bob Feller. Switches Paid Off Baker, who became manager "when a beaning ended Mickey Cochrane's career in 1938, decided his season to utilize all the power available to pull the club out of the fifth place finish of 1939. The result of this decision was the switch of Hank Greenberg from first base to the outfield and of Rudy York from behind the bat to first base. The result of the result, so to speak, was 41 home runs, 150 runs battea in and an average ui ivi uiccuucig aim 33 home runs, 131 runs batted in and an average of .318 for York.

What's more, both fielded their positions. While these two gents were setting out to wreck opposing pitching and distant fences simultaneously, Buck Newsom, an acquisition from the St. Louis Browns, and Schoolboy Rowe, a Tiger hero of other years, preceeaed to have great seasons. Much was expected of Newsom and he came through with 21 wins and four defeats. But Rowe's status was doubtful due to an uncertain arm.

When his arm hadn't left its hinges as the Tigers came toward the stretch his case was stamped as a comeback and he made it official by winning 16 and losing only three. In the midst of all this, second baseman Charlie Gehringer, 37 years old, shortstop Dick Bartell, 33, and third baseman Pinky Hig-gins, 31, all struggle-! along in the role of the oldest infield in the circuit, and kept up the fight despite ailments, which laid each of them low at one time or another. Only York of the inner works eluded the doctors. Teamwork under pi evailing circumstances might have been impaired or totally shattered but for Baker's hold on his men, his manner, of dealing with them, and his willingness to take chances when it seemed advisable. The Tigers responded by making up with hustle whatever they lacsed in technical niceties here and there, and they may go on to the world championship.

They have a great young outfielder in Barney McCoskey, whose batting average is .331, compared with outfielder Greenberg's team-leading .340, and better than average pitchers in Tommy Bridges and Harold Newhouser, besides Newsom and Rowe. Birdie Tebbetts and Billy Sullivan will handle the NWhat they will be Depending upon mostly against the Reds is the pitching of Newsom and Rowe and the one-two punch of Greenberg and York good encug-h to win a i0 Magic In Pearson's Arm Holds Dodgers To Six Safe Blows PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.

The Hill City lads scored In the first five minutes of play when they recovered their kick-off on the Yazoo 35. Power plays directed at the Yazoo center with Bat-talio and Robert King carrying the ball, accounted for a touchdown in three plays. The Oil Capitol pushed over Its lone score In the third quarter when a sustained drive, origninated on the Yazoo 35, ended in a short buck over for the score. A passing combination from Fagan to and Smith covered the yardage. St Aloyslus showed plenty of power and an impregnable line.

Bat-talio and King running from right and left half positions packed plenty of drive and power and cracked off 8 and 10 yards through tackle almost at will, but penalties and miscues nullified most of their fine running. Mahoney at end was superlative. The visitors last eeora was manufactured by these lads and was the culmination of 60 yard march. 2-EXCURSIONS -2 Lit Tript 7 hit Ytm SUN.

"JUST A GOOD PLACE TO EAT" HOURS A DAY 25c 30c The Millsaps Majors who took a 12-0 game from a fighting Delta State team will work hard this week to prepare for Coach Ivan Grove's Hendrix College team. The contest on Delta's excellent field saw Millsaps' aix attack really get underway as Chunkin' Charley Ward failed to complete only one of his seven throws in the first half and Matulich and "Richardson did some excellent heaving. On the receiving end of the aerials Ed "Jitter-bur;" Gillum, Jay Smith, Wayne Baker, Blondy Samuels and Mayo Pittman all got the chance to show their ability.

While the Militants were out-gaining the Deltans several times over, the Greenies were showing spirit and ability in the pinches that left the victors full of admiration for the Dicksonmen. The Delta line stiffened against the Jackson team on several occasions, holding the Stonemen for downs in side the DSTC own twenty-yard line more than once. The Greenies were digging throughout the evening. Millsaps' running attack was not so spectacular or so spotty in Cleveland as it was when the Militants faced La. college at Alumni field.

Ed Matulich's 56-yard dash across the goal line that was called back by the officials was an almost perfectly executed' play. The rest of the evening Millsaps shook its backs loose for shorter gains. "Be" Ware rivaled Henry Stein-reide with his plunges from the fullback position. Matulich, Gillum, Ward and Richardson all carried the oval well. The Militant line put up a staunch defense against the Delta attack.

The Statesmen could gain only 40 yards all "evening over Hamby. Up ton, Hart, Kemmitzer, West. Car ter and Jay Smith. But in the line as well as the backfield it was the reserves who played a big part of the evening. Both coaches substituted freely.

In the Delta forewall Telfer, Housman and Ovca showed up well. When the Majors face Hendrix Friday night they 1 ikelv be even more powerful as Coach Hook Stone works out the kinks in their onense and strengthens the defense that no longer looks like an open gate to opposing offenses.

The Hendrix team that 1 will tackle Millsaps on Alumni field Friday night is coached by one of the most interesting mentors in this section. Coach Ivan Grove led all the backs in the nation in scoring for Henry Kendall College, now Tulsa way back in 1919.

The Arkansas coach played quarterback for Coach Schmitt of Ohio State when he was at the Oklahoma college Quarterback Grove was the outstanding' punter, passer and drop kicker of that region. His booting ability -won him fame far and wide Now Coach Grove is tutoring in the Methodist college of Arkansas that has most of the same problems and worries as Millsaps. Lacking the support of a bustling young city Jackson, the Hendrix team is not backed by as much football emphasis as the Majors. Coach Grove's boys have a spirit for the game and the type-coaching that makes them alwavs dangerous. The moon is approximately miles from earth.

Briggs told him: "After all, a man doesn't know how many years he has left. I dealt for old, experienced players this spring because I felt I didn't have too much time to give to, or to watch, younger players. I wanted a good, handy, competent ball club.

28 It was no surprise to Mrs. Del Baker, wife of the manager of the Detroit club, that the Tigers won the 1940 American League pennant. But let this good-looking baseball wife tell the story, as she told it to us here last night at an impromptu victory celebration in Walter O. Briggs' suite: "Two full months ago in Detroit I had one of those dreams that people have every now and then. you know, a dream that is so realistic that it staitles you into consciousness.

Del and the team were in Philadelphia, and they were five or six games behind the lead. Nobody expected much of them. Well, as I was saying. "I had this dream 1 saw a suite; a lot like this one. I could see Del shaking hands with people and receiving congratulations.

Mr. Briggs was there, just as he is sitting over there now, and these same people who are here now were with him. And over and over again. I heard reporters and friends of Mr. Briggs say, "This certainly was a great race, wasn't it? It's rare to see the race so close that a team wins it on the third to last day of the woke up, the thing was so realistic.

And got up and rum maged through my bag for a schedule and, when I found it. I saw that the third to last game of the season would be played in Cleveland. So I sat down then and there and wrote a letter to Del. I said: 'Don't wor ry, Poppa, you're going to win this thing on Sept. 27 in Cleveland.

It's all arranged." Walter O. Briggs. owner of the Detroit Ball club, is a keen, pleasant old guy who has been ill enough LH! i a is Boston Stuns Tulane With 27-7Victory By CHARLES P. NUTTER NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 28 Iff) Boston College smothered Tulane's fond hopes of repeating its brilliant 1939 season here today before 42,000 spectators by turning on an aerial assault that left the Wave helpless and on the short end of a 27-7 intersectional upset.

The mighty Wave of last year was but a ripple today before the alert and charging Eagles whe crunched Tulane power beneath passes and capitalized on fumbles and breaks of the game. After a procession of four enemy touchdowns through the first three quarters Tulane finally came to life in the final seconds to score after a pass had put the on Boston's 7 yard line. Charlie O'Rourke, a shining Boston star along with Mickey Connelly, opened the touchdown parade within five minutes of the opening when he deposited a punt neatly on Tulane's 3 yard line, and Tulane's Fred Gloden was able to get it back only to midfield. O'Rourke, Kissel and Maznicki legged it through Tulane's crumbling defense to the 35 yard line, where O'Rourke heaved one. intc Al Lukachick's arms.

Adolph Kis-sell tcok it over standing up. Frank Maznicki converted. Loil Thomas' fumble on his 42 yard line set up the next for Boston only two minutes later. Maznicki got through the Wave for 18 and O'Rourke shot a pass 24 yard? over the gcal to Maznicki who was wide open and untouched. Luka-chick converted that one.

Passes Again Count The aerial attack with Connolly tossing brought the next touchdown toward the end of the third when throws for ten, 35 and 13 put the ball on the three-yard line and Mike Hovolak took it over in two tries. Maznicki converted again. Boston's final counter came early in the third when Tulane finally threatened with its power, bringing the ball to its 40 yard line. But a bad pass from center sent the ball cn fourth down to Tulane's 2 yard line where Gene Goodreault caught Fred Glcden, the ball going to Boston which made another touchdown when Kissell hit the line twice Maznicki's try was blocked for Boston's first failure to convert. Late in the third Tulane drove deep into Boston's territory follow ing a costly penalty for sideline coaching against Boston but Tocz? 1 No.
