Leads "Second Division" Club To American League Flag It's Comeback Year, As Witness Rainbow And Minneapolis High Schools Sure To Come Out Of Red With Mghl Games By JAMES W. SCHLEMMER Mr wWIM able to handle them. The Tigers clinrhed (he pennant yesterday when the Yankees lost to Boston. Mickey has made good in his first year as a manager.

Mickey Cochrane' got these Tigers in the palm of his big glove, and as long as he keeps his voice, they're going to stay there. Mickey, of course, is doing the yelling above, and the others, from left to right, are Gerald Walker, Goose Goslin, Jo Jo Beaeon Joirnal Sports Editor MICKEY COCHRANE took a second division baseball club and won the American league pennant M-ith it. One mgA say, without stretching the point, that Mickey has made good. I do not mean to insinuate that the Tigers are a 6econJ division club now. I think they are one of the best championship clubs in years.

They are a second division club to which has been added keen managerial skill and a wholesome fighting spirit. Cochrane took eight or nine inexperienced players none of whom has ever before gone through the fire of pennant-winning competition and mixed in with, them The experience of the veteran World Series performer, Goose Goslin, and himself. He brought them through a rigorous campaign without any epidemic ot injuries. He reduced the exaggerated ego In Gerald Walker to humsn size. He developed Lynwood "Schoolboy" Howe Into a real sensation and still kept up the spirits ot such other hurlers as Tommy Bridges, Elden Auker, Vic Sorrell, Chief Hogsett, etc.

He blended the hitting power ot Goslin, Walker, Hank Greenberg. Jo Jo White and Ervin "Pete" Fox with the speed of Walker, White ann Charley Gehringer: the fielding perfection of Gehringer Marvin Owen and Bill Rogell, and the pitching genius of Bowe, Bridges and company. He took the hardest hitting club In baseball this year and insisted upon having it retain the sacrifice, the hit and run and the squeeze play. He made the stolen base an Important part of the Tigers' offensive strategy. HE EXHIBITED patience when It was necessary; hard boiledness when that was called for.

He made his players "look alive" by fining $10 every time they were caught off base, the money to go to a fund for the clubhouse boy. Mickey, himself, was the first person to be fined. paid It. He has put Into the Tigers some of the old dazzle of Ty Cobb. He ordered his speed merchants, White, Fox and Walker, to worry opposing pitchers when on the base lines.

Not long ago to mention how well they have succeeded White was called out twice at two bags on the same play, but forced the umpire to reverse his decision when he kicked the ball from the hands of the Infuriated infielder. Cochrane has done more than manage the Tigers to their pennant the first for Detroit since 1909. He has played the game with the rest of them. He has caught more games than he would have had to because hr did not want the club to suffer any letdown. He come through with enough timely hits to keep alive the old rating for being one of the "money players" In the business.

AKRON HIGH SCHOOLS are certain to benefit from the board of education's decision toJinstall lights at Old Forge field and permit the playing of night football games. Crowds will perk up. The larger crowds will mean more gate receipts. The Increased receipts will permit of heavier guarantees to visiting clubs. This, in turn, will allow Akron schools to schedule the state's leaders for games here Canton McKinley, East Liverpool, Mansfield, Springfield, Steubenville, the Toledo elevens, and others.

Eventually, when Old Forge field has been developed to the fullest extent of present plans, It will rate with one of the beat in the state. There is unlimited room for expansion there. A stadium, completely encircling the gridiron and running track, could be built so that no maximum would have to be placed on the size of the crowds. Location of the field Is such that It can easily be reached. The main drawback against the use of the field at night, Is the fog condition which comes up from the Little Cuyahoga river to cover the lawlands.

But this is only an occasional hazard. Playing on Saturday nights according to present plans of Superintendent Ralph Waterhouse, the high schools are certain to come out of the "red." The games will rank as climax affairs to the week-end schedules. There will be little or no competition to the staging of the scholastic spectacles. Fans will be able to take in the high school contests and still be away In time to do their regular Saturday night reveling. Akron's high schools will come back to the place they once held on the state's football map thanks to Mr.

Waterhouse and his board of administration. TIGERS WIN FLAG, WONDER WHO WILL OPPOSE THEM -INTRODUCING KERMIT SMULBACH- MEET THE ZIPPERS -By JOE "VNE of Ru.ss Belchly's products of West High school, Kermit Smulbach, Is a promising sopho more backfield candidate this sea sen with Coach Howard Blair's Akron university grid squad. lb a h. who played varsity football at West for two seasons as a halfback, may see considerable action this fall with the Zippers. He is one of several Smulbach candidates waging a struggle for the two open halfback berths that must be filled before Akron invades Cleveland Friday to meet Western Reserve.

Cochrane Certain To Start Youngster Who Pitched Tigers To Pennant By ALAN GOl'I I Aiaorlated Preaa Sports Editor EW YORK, Sept. 25.A num ber of circumstances have corn- lined to lift the Detroit Tigers to he American league peak after a 25-year interval but the four salient factors contributing to their dramatic pennant victory as well as to their World Series hopes can be listed as speed, batting power concentrated in an iron-man Infield, he forceful leadership of Mickey Cochrane and the pitching skill of Schoolboy Rowe. For speculative purposes you can these assets with the pitching, outfield power, defense and shrewd leadership of the Giants by Bill Terry or the all-around driving power, speed and Dean brothers' pitching combination of Frank Frisch's St. Louis Cardinals, still in hot pursuit of the world champions down the National leagus stretch. Without either Cochrane or Rowe, it is safe to say Detroit would have been lucky to land a place In the first division.

As a matter of fact the Tigers were picked in the pre-season consensus to finish no better than fourth but at that time it would have taken rare imagination, as well as prophetic vision, to have anticipated Rowe would win 24 or more games, including 16 In succession to tie the league record. Rowe's heroic pitching in his first full big league year has won him Cochrane's designation as the starting Tiger flinger in the opening game of the World Series, Oct. 3, at Navin field, Detroit. The young giant from El Dorado, will likely be pitted against Carl Hubbell, ace southpaw of the Giants and one of the greatest "money pitchers" the game has developed in modern times. Should the Cardinals overtake the Giants, undoubtedly Rowe would find himself arrayed against Jerome "Dizzy" Dean.

Any way he may look at it, it's the toughest kind ot an assignment for a newcomer to World Series fire and furor but they say in Detroit the Schoolboy doesn't what nervousness means. For the Tigers, Cochrane's pitching rotation probably will consist of Rowe, Al Crowder, Tommy Bridges and Rowe, with Flrpo Mar-berry, Elden Auker and the others to do any necessary mopping up. Crowder, free from the heavy burden he carried In 1033. has made a fine comeback, since being discarded by the Senators, It will be "Dean, Doan, Dean" a la Kipling if the Cardinals carry the National league banner Into tha World Series whereas the "big four" of the Giants probably would ba asked to work in this order: Hub-bell, Hal Schumacher, Boy Parma-lee and Fred Fitzsimmons. The way Parmalee has been per forming in the "clutches" recently, pulling the Giants back repeatedly from the brink, it will not be surprising to see the former Columbus speedball pitcher get a big share of World Series work.

Last year Parmalee was considered too risky a proposition, from tha standpoint of his wildness, to be started in the World Series. Parmalee, after having his appendix removed, did not return to steady work until July. Since then he has been the most consistent winner on the New York staff and won more of the crucial games than any other member of Terry's staff. Terry has given no indication of a change In his plan to start Hub-bell but if he made a switch tha probability Is Parmalee would get the first-game call.

Sept. 25. (AP) Barring an accident or a reversal in form on the part of either the defender or the challenger, the New York Yacht club should be privileged this evening to lock the America's cup away in its vault until another challenger takes up the qest.

As Rainbow, Harold S. Vander-bilt's defender, and Endeavour, T. O. M. Sopwith's British challenger, prepared to face the starting line today for what may be the last time, even the most loyal supporters of the invader thought very little ol her chances.

Yesterday she suffered her third straight defeat, by four minutes, the largest margin of the series. Previously, she won the first two races of the four out of seven contest. Unless she Is able to lead Rainbow home today she may just as well sail on up the bay to Bristol for her jury rig with which to make the passage back to England. Rainbow, it has been apparent to all, has Improved since the start ot the series, whereas Endeavour's performance has been the reverse. There are many reasons for the situation, but probably the most telling one has to do with Endeavour's crew.

The opinion Is generally expressed In Newport that Sopwith made his costliest mistake when he put his old professionals ashore and shipped amateurs rather than meet a demand for higher wages. No mishandling of Endeavour has changed the popular belief that she is a faster boat than Rainbow and more sympathy is being expressed in Newport for Charles Nicholson, designer of the invader, than for anyone eke connected with the British Invasion. The current cedes for the America's cup is the longest in the history of competition for the famous trophy in the number of races sailed. The fifth race yesterday equaled the record and the concluding race or races exceed it.

COLUMBUS RED BIRDS won the first two games of their playoff series with Minneapolis and were all set to take the league championship in a grand hurry.

But the Millers turned and have won the last three games with only one more win needed to wind up the series. Tom Sopwlth's Endeavour defeated the Rainbow In the first two races for the International yachting championship but the Rainbow turned and has won the last three raoes, with only one more victory needed to keep the Ameria's cup here where It has been since 1851. Just what kind of a year are we having In sports? Just the kind that makes suckers out of a lot of sports scribes and headline writers. The very day that the headlines favored the Red Birds as being all-powerful, the Minneapolis club jumped on the Birds for eight runs in the first inning. The very day that the headlines quoted Harold Vanderbilt as savin? that nothing could keep the Endeavour from taking the famous cup back to England, the Rainbow came from behind to whip the British challenger and the two races which have followed haven't even been clou enough to be called contests.

Oh, welll After these many years, the headline writers can take It. LOOK OUT for Cleveland's collegiate elevens this season I I was sitting In the midst of some Cleveland bantamweight players In Shaker Heights high school stadium Sunday afternoon when I asked this question: "What Cleveland team looks good this fall?" "Baldwin-Wallace," shouted two of the boys. "Reserve," declared two others. "John Carroll," said another pair. All answers were given simultaneously and with much emphasis.

Nobody mentioned Case, but that may have been due to the fact that there were only six youngsters within hearing, and they were supporters of the other schools. A swell argument started. It was pointed out that P.ay Watts has everything It takes at Baldwin-Wallace. This side of the argument was emphasized by the figures on Saturday's game which ended in tne Bereans' favor, 43-0. It was pointed out, too, that Tommy Yarr and Big Bill Edwards have a lot of good material and plenty of new spirit on the Carroll squad.

The Reserve followers used the same argument new coach and new spirit-to further their arguments. Of course these boys are quite some distance away from the time they can play collegiate ball. Perhaps they are prejudiced in their opinions as to the strength of the Cleveland clubs. But they know how to play football and they know strong teams when they see them, even in practice. They convinced me, at least, that the Cleveland clubs will merit respect of all opponents.

FRANK CARIDEO has called upon the home town boys to help him hold his Job as head coach at the University of Missouri. And they have responded. The Tiger varsity this tall lists Angelo Carideo, Frank'f Mickey Will Rest Detroit Regulars Cochrane Hoping And Thinking Tigers Will Win World Series Honors Br Tbe AMorlalrd Pri ETROITj Sept. 25. 1 Cochrane, who gave his long- shot Detroit Tigers a hustling ride down the stretch from July to September to beat out the favored Yankees in the American league pennant race, is hoping and thinking today that Detroit will be the next world's champion.

"Now we can play out the string without any mental hazards," he said as he gathered in his strategy board for the World Series. "We will go into the scries ready to fight either the Giants or the Cardinals to the last out. "I hope and think we will be the next world champions." Cochrane's young band of players whom he led to Detroit first pen nant in 25 years in his first season as a manager, were trying to pick the winners at the fairgrounds race track when the news of the Boston shutout came. Cochrane's plans for the next week include a little less work for some of his regulars, and a close study each night of the nip-and-turk race between New York and St. Louis in the National league.

"I figure on giving some of the regulars who have been in almost every game, a little less work foi the balance of the season," said Manager Mike. "Of course they will start in out remaining games with Chicago and St. Louis, but I want to use Herman Clifton, Heinle Schuble, Gerard Walker and Frank Doljack in the late Innings of these remaining games. "The pitchers will continue to work in their turn. I don't want them to miss their stride or relax to much." Cochrane said he would start Rowe, Bridges and Auker in the three games with the White Sox which open on Wednesday.

The Tigers provided major league baseball with punch, color and drama this year and gave the game a new public interest, attested by the crowds that followed the budding champions around the circuit. In their last meeting wilh the Yankees, they pulled 121,000 people into Navin field in four days. Cochrane opened Detroit's campaign last spring with the guarded prediction that the Tigers would be "in the running." By June his boys began to shape Into a first division outfit. Just before July Fourth the Tigers stepped into the league leadership for a few days and then dropped a game behind the Yankees at tne holiday turning point. There the pennant race began.

It was a two-team battle, and the Tigers won by taking 54 games after July 4 while the Yankees were winning 47. HA1RVS WANT TWIN Bill. Acm Dairy baseball teBm oi Mslilon la aeeklni a double heaiier inr Sunday with at tlaaa A nine in tbe Akron district. Manager interested ahouid write J. J.

BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer PR the first time in 25 years, the Detroit Tigers have won the American league pennant but whether their World Series rivals would be the New York Giants or the St. Louis Cardinals none could say today. The idle Tigers "backed" into the flag yesterday when the New York Yankees were shut out, 5-0, by John Merena, a Boston Red Sox rookie righthander, and thus lost their last mathematical chance of overhauling Detroit in the race to the wire. Merena pitched five-hit ball. While Mickey Cochrane's Inspired club thus was sewing up its championship, developments in the Na-titonal league served to indicate that if the world champion Giants are to win again they'll have to do so on their own behalf.

They'll get scant help from the Cardinals. While the Giants were idle, the Cards beat down the Chicago Cubs, 3-1, and headed for home only two games out of first place. With the season ending Sunday, the Giants have four games yet to play two with the Phillies today and tomorrow and two with Brooklyn Saturday and Sunday, all at the Polo Grounds. The Cardinals still have six on their slate, two with Pittsburgh today and tomorrow and four with Cincinnati on the last four days of the season, also all at home. If the Giants win ail four of their games, they will take the pennant no matter what St.

Louis accomplishes. If they win three while the Cards capture six, the race will end in a tie and a special series of three games will be necessary to decide the league champion. Any combination of New York victories and St. Louis defeats whlrh adds to four will automatically gives the Giants the flag. The Cards won from the Cubs yesterday by virtue of Bill Walker's seven-hit pitching and timely hitting by Pepper Martin and Leo Du-rocher.

In the only other major league engagements of the day, Brooklyn toppled the Phillies twice, 5-3 and 10-1, and the Athletics tripped Washington twice, 5-4 and 3-0. Jimmy Foxx hit his 44th homer in the first game. Paul Pirrone Has Kayo Over Aldare PHILADELPHIA, Sept. up another knockout victory lor Paul Pirrone, rugged 160 pound Clevelander.

The Clevelander floored Aldare for a seven count in the secoid round, then in the fourth floored him again and severely cut his left eye, a physician ruling the Brooklyn boy unable to continue.

He will send Pate Richards, and end, to fullback in order to get more drive Into the backfield. Richards Is the heaviest man on the Irish team and welglis about 170 pounds.

Bob Crano probably will fill in at the end vacated by Richards. Barberton will be crippled for the fray, coming out of the West with serious injuries to three of lis players. Joe Jerina, fullback, who handles the kicking and passing for the Magics, is on the shelf with an Injured shoulder. Lawver, Barberton center, will be out of the lineup for several weeks because of an Injured ankle, while Lee Hill, flashy colored halfback and spark plug of the eleven, has a twisted ankle. When West defeated Barberton, 20-0, at League park Saturday afternoon, it was the first time in a season and a half of play that the Magics had gone without scoring in a game.

Barberton tripped St. Vincent's, 20-0, in a nlcht melee last season. Checking over his squad at practice Monday, Coach Lu Smith discovered that Bob Meade, tackle, sustained a fractured finger on his right hand In the Ashland foray and will be out of action cr several weeks.
