Twelve thousand frenzied baseball fans' of Dallas were thrown into wild excitement this afternoon when Tosh Billings, pinch hitter for Riviere, hit a three-bagger to right field with three men on, bases, winning the third game of the Dixie series for the Texas league champs, 7 to 6. The crowd rushed on to the field and lifted Billings, to their shoulders, carrying him around the entire infield and lauding him the avior of the series when it seemed as if the Steers would suffer the humiliation of a third straight defeat.

BAN FIELD BATON ROUGE, Sept 25 (Special). The Louisiana Tiger snarled feroiously this afternoon, crushed everything that looked like a Normal offense, and had a chance to experiment rather freely, and withal turned in a very satisfactory 47 to 0 victory in the opening game of the season. A fierce Indian summer sun beat down unmercifully on some 3,000 or 4,000 spectators watching the best looking Tiger outfit start in many seasons. The extreme hot weather was anything but ideal for football, but the frequent substitutions Donahue made cut down rather than helped the Tigers in running up a score. EDDtT NEW ORLEANS.

were never seriously threatened, Side Lights On Gents Battle By NAT WEIL Centenary won the toss and choose to kick. The Tennesseeans took the north goal to defend. Between the halves the Gentlemen freshmen and the co-eds gave a snake dance up and down the field. Ihe co-eds wore white with green sashes, while the boys made themselves conspicuous with their white skull caps. After the snake dance and several yells Cheer Leader Higginbotham and Bango did a couple of stunts in the center of the field when they showed the rooters a number of gymnastic stunts.

Union showed a well coached team under the tutorship of Joe Guion, the big Indian football star from Georgia Tech. Guion in his day was rated as one of the greatest stars in the game. During the summer season he plays baseball. Centenary's student body. 500 strong, and led by the Gentlemen band, exercised their lungs.

Throughout the entire game yells were continuous. The crowd, under the direction of the ex-Tiger leaders, showed marked improvement over past seasons. The pep was continuous. Shortly before the beginning of the game Col. D.

W. Spurlock, president of the Centenary Athletic association, and Dr. L. Scales introduced the winners of the season ticket contest. Those introduced were Miss Lois Weston, sponsored by the Rotary club, winner; Miss Rie Geduldig, "Miss Loreco," second; Miss Margaret Holmes, "Miss Kiwanis," third; Miss Larry Vance, Miss Nanine Brown and Miss Allie Byrne Mayo, Charlie Smith at quarter proved himself to be one of the best first-year men seen in this section of the country for some years.

Smith should make for the Gentlemen a triple threat man, He can pass, boot the ball, and shows some speed in going down the field with the pigskin. The crowd turned out Saturday holiday fashion to usher in 1926 football in Shreveport. There were approximately 3,000 rooters who witnessed the game. Gordon Higginbotham and Harold Bango, formerly Louisiana State university cheer leaders, but now students of Centenary, led the cheers for the Gentlemen. Franklin Allday and Gus Holsinger, graduates of the freshmen team of 1925, showed that the Gentlemen had in the making material for the 1926 squad to replace the losses.

Both men should be whirlwinds if they continue to show the class that was demonstrated Saturday against Union. The Tennesseeans put on the field light, but snappy, team, but their going was a little slow for the Gentlemen, Moore and Stripling showing the most class throughout the four stanzas. Shreveport's cold weather showed its' beginning during the game Saturday afternoon. Just before the start of the second half the weather man's predictions began making itself known. The mercury dropped a num.

25 W. defeated team for the second the Green Wave battered the Louisiana Polytechnic institute eleven for a 40 to 0 victory here Saturday. Although "Peggy" Flournoy, the greatest backfield than in the history of the university has been graduated, Clark Shaughnessy's charges piled up a larger score on the Polytechnic aggregation Saturday than in 1925. 16 for a total yardage of 377. In the maze of the victory stood out the brilliant work of the grad uates from the 1925 Centenary frosh grid squad.

"He's a Bear" Allday, Charlie Smith and Gus Holsinger flashed brilliantly in the backfield while Glenn Lctteer, the Man-o-War of the squad, did well. Ab Beam, one of the cleverest field generals in this section, piloted the ball carriers in clever fashion and took turns at carrying the pigskin for depisive gains. To back up the brilliant work of the ball totters the linemen formed aJslojit wall, only one or two oe-casions did they give way. So strong was the defense that the visiting squad, coached by Joe Guyon, the Indian, resorted to deceptive plays the criss-cross wag used to make headway, and that brand of attack brought about the only noticeable rains. It was the consensus of opinion of grid fans that the team that went into action against Union university was the best coached outfit to ever represent Centenary in a first game of the year.

The plays were well timed and there was no delay in working up the strategy. Union pre-i sented a better team than appeared here in 1925 and one that fought hard for every Inch of ground. Mooney- ham, Moore and Striplin in the back-field plugged along hard. Suggs at right guard was in every play. So bitter did the battle grow at timfcs that a few of the collegians lost control of their tempers to engage in altercations.

They were immediately sent to the sidelines. Both sides suffered from this offense. One of the features of the play was the splendid forward passing of the Gentlemen. They tried nine air Attacks and seven were completed. One of the seven was wasted when Quinn took a throw from Beam just as a penalty was called on the Gentle- men.

The ball was put back in play at its previous destination. The passim? wii done bv Beam And Smith. Another department of play that stood out was the punting, Centenary getting good distances on its boots. Clarence Hamel of Shreveport crowned himself with glory in stopping rushes around his end and in i taking passes out of the air. In the last quarter Coaches Homer Norton and George Hoy sent in all oi-the rejervea, excepting Big Tom Wafer, explaining it was necessary to hold Wafer in reserve in the event of a player being forced out of the game.

In the first quarter the game was hard fought with neither side scoring. The Gentlemen moved the ball down to the one-yard line and were preparing for the final dash while the stopping gun was fired. On the first play in the second quarter the Gents put over their first ouch-down and rapidly added to the count until it amounted to 20 points. They scored 14 points in the third quarter and 13 in the fourth. The ball was about mid-field when the game ended.

It was Ab Ream's 20-yard run near i the close of the first quarter, the first real sprint of the game, that started the Gentlemen toward the r'nnl. Renm akirtpd Around riirht: tiH to score for the first down of the game and then it was a forward march with Holsinger bucking the enemy's front wall. Four first downs followed in rapid fire order to put the ball on the one-yard line at the end of the quarter. i After the kickoff, following the touchdown Rebsamen recovered a Union fumble and Centenary kept possession of the ball until they scored again. It was in this march to the goal that Beam and Hamel worked the first forward pass.

It was long after the next kickoff that Centenary again gained the ball to keep it for a score. When they lost ground on a bad pass Beam decided on the air route and passed 20 yards to Smith, who covered the remaining 15 yards for the touchdown. Allday missed the goal. Union Scores. Following the first play after the kickoff, the visitors resorted to the criss-cross that helped them gain a few yards in the first half.

Moore 'neaked between Stewart and Kepke covered 40 yards before being out of bounds by Smith. A few fiemall gains followed by a penalty, ''cave Union first down and new life. 'They again resorted to the crisscross and it gained 20 yards, putting ithe ball on the 7-yard line. Three line plays and the touchdown was rscored by Moore. Stripling kicked ygoal.

In the second half Centenary Secored four first downs in order to put the ball on the 10-yard line and then Allday circled the wings to 'tcore with the enemy trailing. He 'was given nice interference on the Smith electrified the crowd with a splendid runback of punt 45 yards with the enemy all around him. The Gents lost a Tittle 'ground on a bad pass, but Smith Jand Allday worked a 15-yard pass arid Allday gained an additional 15 yards on a run. Blackshear lost the b-11 on a fumble on the next play. 'Stripling made a poor punt and the went back to Centenary in Un-t ion's territory.

They lost it on 'downs, being held for the first time. Penalties that followed hurt both 1 clubs, but Centenary pulled out of danger with a 15-yard pass, Smith to Hamel, who ran to the 26-yard line. iFrom there the ball was worked down 15 yards and Allday then pulled another of his side sweeps to leave the enemy trailing him. A pass of 15 yards fror.i Smith to Crawford (figured prominently in the Gents' next score. The last touchdown was riade when Union tried to pass in their own territory and Smith tool; the ball on the run and raced 20 'yards for a "touch." 1 Jed Jeffries broke In with a nice 'runbsck of punt jus before the ''close.

a fo are heard throughout the city of Dallas. It was a heart-breaking da-feat for "Death Valhy" Jim (Scott. Though the blow that won the game was not made off him, he left the tying and winning runs on the bases. Martina went to his rescue, but Billings hit a mighty drive to right field which bounded to the left of Tucker and all three runners scored. Fans Go Into Uproar.

As they did the fans who bad sat through- nine innings shivering from the cold rose to their feet and hurled cushions on the field and. went into an uproar. For eight innings Scott pitched as pretty a ball game as you want to see. Only three hits were made off him up to that time and one run, which was the result of Riley's homo run in the fifth inning. He was given great support, Beside pitching remarkable ball, Scott drove in two of the Pels' six runs.

He had out-pitched despite the fact that the latter had eight strikeouts to his credit. But the final break came In the ninth. Scott lost his effectiveness. The Steers went into the ninth with the count 6 to 1 against them. Morso led off with a single to left.

Woeber went in as a pinch hitter for Gross and walked. Williams flied to Ostergard, but Miller, getting his first hit of the series, singled to left, scoring Morse. Riley singled to right, scoring Woeber. Hendrick took Brain-ard's pop fly, but Scott lost control again. He walked Tate, filling the bases, and Bauman walked, forcing In Miller.

Scott was yanked and Martina sent in. Then came Billing with the blow that palled the gam? out of the fire. Martina vs. Love Today. It was a disastrous defeat for the Pelicans as they played great bajl behind Scott until he blew.

Martina is slated to pitch Sunday for the Pels and Love for Dallas. The temperature ig around 53 nd the weather more suifabla for football. Schuman started off well for the Steers in the first inning by fanning two of the three men to face him, put his southpaw slants were anv- thing but puzzling in the second. j'0 Tucker started the fireworks with his home run clout, which was over the wire fence in center field. Ostergard fouled out to Hungling and Deal followed with a single to left field.

Ewoldt followed with a two-bagger to right. Deal scoring from first when Miller's throw to second got away from Gross. Dowie fanned. Scott poked a single over second, scoring Ewoldt. Whaley re- the ide by Sounding out to Morse.

Scott had wonderful support and the cold didn't seem to affect him any. He had his famous slow ball working well In the second after Hendrick made a great catch off Riley bat, Scott fanned the hard hitting In the third Hungling led off with a single, the first hh for Dallas, but his stay on the paths was short lived. Shuman hit to Scott and a double play In the fouth it was a case of three up and rt Steer8' th? Hack Miller, who hit 32 homers in the lexas league this season, ending the inning by striking out. Shuman tightened after the Pels bunched four hits for three runs in the second and for the next three innings the only man to go safe was Ewoldt, who beat a bad throw bv Gross to first. Ostergard hit for two bases in the' sixth, but was out over-sliding second base.

Brainard made a nice try to. catch Red's hit. Riley's homer was) parked over the fence close to where? Tucker hit his circuit drive. The hit failed to rattle Scott any. He tightened and retired the next three, Tucker making a nice catch off Tate's bat and Ewoldt ran far back of third to take Hungliiig's fly.

Deal Again Star of Game. "Chuck" Deal's hitting and fielding has been an outstanding feature this series and his playing Saturday was no exception. Ha paved the way for the pelicans' fourth run bv leading off the seventh with a single, his second hit of the game. Ewoldt sacrificed and after Dowie fanned old Jitei Scott drove Deal in with a single to left. Whaley forced Seott to and the inning.

"Rhino" Williams, who crowded WoebeT out of the Dallas line-up, gave the Steers life in the seventh when he led off with a single to left. Fast fielding by Ostergard kept it from going an extra bae, but two force outs and a long fly by Brainard to Ostergard prevented a score. Outfielder Brainard robbed Cick of an extra base hit with a one-handed catch in the eighth. Tucker made a fine running catch off Hunging's bat in the eighth. Hunglinjr was hit by a slow ball but Umpire Fanning called him back when he attempted to take his base.

The Pels hopped on ta Shuman again in the ninth, and drove him to the shower. Ostergard singled to right and was sacrificed to second by Deal, Ewoldt followed with a two-bagger down third base line, scoring Ostergard and Dowie, who have fanned three straight times, doubled to left field, scoring Ewojdt. Riviere went to the mound and forced Scott I to hit into a double play.

Reading reached the 125 mark the other day.

losing a twin bill. The elub has copped less than 40 frays. In the third period Doni.hue sent an entire scrub line-up to the post, and while the little Tigers held Normal as well us the first stringers, their offensive was ragged and they didn't cross the visitors' goal line in that period. Prather Has Heavy Team. Normal showed a heavy team, much heavier than usual for the Natchi toches crew of Prather's, and their play was smooth to watch, but the Tiger forwards smothered them without exception.

Captain Godfrey and "Hinkev" Haynes showed worlds of drive, and ripped oil long gains that at times seemed timed perfectly to the best intereference a Donahue 'coached eleven has ever developed at L. S. U. Godfrey was hard to stop and many times dragged two and three men through the Normal line. Haynes best bet was a swift rush off the tackles, and his speed usually left a siring of men on the ground behind him.

"Hinkey" tore off several 15-and 20-yard gains, and once stepped through tackle, shook off the Noraml backfield and stepped 35 yards for a touchdown. Godfrey also reversed his field for a hit yard run for touch-down that was pretty. Because it was unexpected by the majority of the spectators the work of Charley Mason, at quarter was probably outstanding as a feature of the game. On his form of this afternoon the Tiger quarterback problem should be Mason ran his team with machine-like precision during the two quarters he played, and took the ball himself for some beautiful gains, one running back a Mormal punt 45 yards for a touchdown through the entire Normal field. Mason has a floating, easy, but baffling that will be hard for most teams to stop.

Mason's punting was also a feature the few times he was called upon, his kick going high and well over 50 yards. Eastin Normal's Mainstay. Eastin backed up the Normal line and stopped most of the Tiger plays that were stopped. This Normal lad HEYDLER HAPPY, LAUDS HORNSBY ON HIS SUCCESS New York, Sept. 25.

The pennant victory of the St. Louts Cardinals is a "fitting climax" to the "most won derful race in the history of our league," John A. Heydler, National league president, Saturday told the Associated Press. The league executive paid high ribute to Rogers Hornsby, young playing manager of the new champions, and especially he praised the manner in which the four eastern teams though in the second di ision have the western rivals righ down to the finish. BEARCATS BEAT BASTROP TEAM ON HOME FIELD Ruston, Sept.

25 (Special). The Ruston Bearcats won the third vic tory of the season here Saturday after.ioon when they met the fast Bastrop eleven on American Legion field and came off victors, 20 to 7. It was the initial game for the Bastrop boys who showed fine form and plenty of fighting spirit. Wo-mack, for the visitors, made a touch down when he grabbed the ball from a recovered fumble. Smith and Perry, teammates of Womack, played a game that won applause from the sideline.

Jimmerson of the Jearcats, played a great game, as did Red McMahon. DEMPSEY REBELS TO HINTS THAT HE DID NOT TRY Philadelphia, Sept. 25 (Universal Service).

GOLFDONi LIGHT WORKOUT FOR HIGH SCHOOL YELLOW JACKETS The Yellow Jackets are in excellent condition for the opening game here, October 2, Tcxarkana. Coach Knilans has been holding a few meetings in the evenings and is making sure tht'i the boys know the signals -o that there will be no blunders in the important games.

The team will not be picked until the day of the game. Coach Knilans has been putting the boys through a light workout for the last two or three days for fear they will go stale. He has concentrated on broken field running, end runs, interference, breaking punts and passes. Season tickets are being sold and the students of Byrd high school are backing the school to the limit. The Lions club invited two boys from the school to a luncheon and different men of the club bought adult season tickets.

Miss Grace Miller will probably be cheer leader this year, this will bo her third year in this capacity. A pep meeting will be held some time during the week for the benefit of freshmen who have just entered high school. Southward the motor cavalcade swept, with Tunney smiling, bowing, occasionally lifting his hat. Tumultuous crowds watched and cheered. Already whispers were heard among the old-timers, "Another Gentleman Jim" referring to Jim Corbett, chamoion of other years.

Through Greenwich Village -the motorcycle police honked a clear way, and that home of art and literature figuratively bared its head to a new type of famous native son. Flags and bunting draped the birthplace of the champion and also the house from which he enlisted into the marines. At city hall, while crowds milled restlessly without, Tunney was taken to the chamber of the board of estimates, where Mayor Walker con-fencd upon him the "freedom of the city" and greeted him as "The champion of young American boyhood." Mayor Jimmy Walker himself became a satelite of the fistic king after the speech-making was over, riding in the procession which sped northward up Lafayette street and Fifth avenue to the Biltmore for the luncheon staged by Tim J. Mara, lifelong friend of Tunney. At the Biltmore were almost everybody who counts in the big city, but none happier than Tunney.

Gotham Hails Native Son Who Co nque rs Dempsey With Monster Ovation A majority of the local golfers being in attendance at Centenary-Union football game Saturday afternoon, the local courses were not as crowded as usual on Saturday afternoon.

Twosomes were the favorites.

The Broadmoor club will probably be the center of attraction in golfing circles the next few weeks, due to both the elub championship and city championship tournaments being played simultaneously.
