Seldom have the Phils looked more futile than in the closing stages of the fray. After passing up repeated opportunities to win, they tossed the game away when the veteran Si Johnson issued three straight passes after two were down in the 11th. With Pee Wee Reese making fake dashes from third base, Johnson threw four consecutive wide balls to Pete Reiser none, of them even close enough to 71 in the world.

ALSAB OUTRUNS WACKYJVHIRLY Windy City Colt Takes Cannonball by Nose By SID FEDER PAWTUCKET. I. Alsab whipped Whirlaway by the width of a whisker yesterday in a 000 horse-race thriller that you had to see to believe. Not even a movie script written especially for the occasion could have done justice to the way the three-year old colt from Chicago and the Kentucky cannonball fought it out in. one of the most smashing drives ever seen on any race track to end their long awaited "dream race." All the way down Narragan-sett's straight road home, the Sab just managed to keep a small bit of his nose in front as the gallant little Whirly roared down on him, almost but not quite catching him with every stride.

And a crowd of 35,000 calloused old horsemen and just plain, bettors who jammed this New England racing plant, jumped to its feet and roared hysterically with the fierceness of the struggle as the two shiny colts turned it on down the stretch. The veteran turf writers in the press box joined in with the screaming as the thriller unfold ed step by step. Alsab led from end to end, once holding a iVz length bulge, but Bierman rated him as smoothly as the engineer keeping the 30th century limited on schedule. Twice once as they went into the backstretch and once nearing the far turn Woolf moved Whirly up on Mrs Al Sabath's skyrocket. who was carrying 119 pounds in this weight-for-age match.

But each time, Bierman let the Sab out a notch to stay ahead. Halfway through the stretch turn, Whirlaway turned loose his usual dynamite, shortly after Alsab had done the same, and you could hear the old "here comes Whirlaway" cry tearing through the stands.

AMERICAN LEAGUE NEW YORK, The Boston Red Sox took advantage of BUI Dickey's wild throw in the tenth inning yesterday score three runs and beat the New York Yankees 9 to 6 for their 90th victory of the season their greatest number of wins in 25 years.

The defeat ended a six-game winning streak by the world champions and cost Spud Chandler his fifth reverse after winning 16 games. Boston's winning rally was started by Johnny Pesky, who led off with his 201st hit of the year. Ted Williams drew his third walk and Tony Lupien sacrificed but Dickey fielded the bunt and threw wild past first letting both runners score. XjOU Finney followed with a single scoring Lupien, which with an earlier homer and triple gave him three runs batted in for the day. Ted Williams hit his 34th home run in the first inning to get the Red Sox started right, but the Yanks kept nibbling until they tied the score with four runs in the seventh.

Roy Cullenblne notched his second homer as a Yankee with two on and Charley Keller added his 26th of the season. In the next inning Mace Brown relieved Bill Butland and received credit for the victory.

Even the 7,254 Dodger fans found little to cheer about, as their heroes had been roundly outplayed up to the time of the "presentation."

The Floridians played Lt John fit (Hobbs) Adams' fliers on fairly even terms until that fateful third. Then Ray Terrell, formerly of Mississippi, started the Navy on its victory march. Terrell tossed a 12-yard pass to Bill Chipley, one time Clemson player, lor a first down on the Navy 46. Big George Faust, former Minnesota line plunger, crashed down to the Florida 45. Terrell then tossed to Bill Borcher, ex-Oregon end, near the left sidelines and Borcher hot-footed it to the goal.

Faust kicked the extra point. Coach Tom Lieb's Floridians came right back with" a touchdown of their own on a 60-yard drive. Fullback Bill Corry shot a pass to sophomore end Broughton Williams good for 36 yards. Billy Mims, freshman halfback play-ing with Florida under a southeastern conference ruling, permitting the use of first year men, rifled a 12-yard pass to end Nick Klutka.for a first down on the eight-yard stripe. Three plays later Corry plunged over from the two and tackle Bob Henry kicked the point to tie it at 7-aH.

McAfee Takes Over At this point, McAfee evidently decided things had gone far enough and sparked the navy into a lead for keeps. The former Duke and Chicago Bears star passed 13 yards to Terrell to open a 75-yard scoring march. Terrell reeled off 17 more around right end to the Florida 43. McAfee then raced around left end, cut back to the right through several Florida tacklers and streaked over the goal. Faust once more booted the added point to give the fliers a 14-7 advantage.

The final Navy touchdown was et up by Florida which gambled en a fourth down try at the line and lost the ball on its own 30-yard line. McAfee once more took over. He passed 13 yards to Chip-ley for 13 yards and two plays later heaved one to Vic Fusia, one time Manhattan standout, for the final 15 yards to the goal. Faust's kick for extra point was blocked. The navy drove down to Florida's one-foot line early in the fourth quarter but lost the ball on downs.

1436-W 1 Jot THE LEON HIGH lions take the field in Albany next Friday night for the season's opener, but just what may be in store for the Lions in the win column this season is still in the hands of the little fellow who knows all, sees all and hears all in the football world and he won't tell. Even Coach Amos Godby refuses to venture anything that might be put down as a definite statement. THOSE WHO watched the scrimmage under lights at Cen' tennial Field Friday night came apay satisfied. It was a good scrimmage and the boys, some of them, looked mighty good from where we sat. Coach split the boys up evenly he put his first string backfield behind his second string line and his second string back-field behind his first string line.

That way the play was evened ur evened to the extent that neither side made a score which made everybody happy especially the boys. BUT NOTICEABLE in Friday's scrimmage was the poor blocking in fact, the backs had to sort of shove for themselves as it were, and any ground gained was purely their own doing. But on the other hand there were two sides against each other who knew every move that the other might make every play that the opposing quarterback might conceive thus it was natural that the boys would naturally be in on the plays and perhaps that explains the lack of blocking. But on the whole, the lions have a fairly good looking outfit on the field this year and despite the tough schedule that is in store for them, we venture a prediction that they won't lose the NEC crown this season, THERE WERE 85 football hppefuls down for the session Friday night a record number Coach says for men on the field. Every one of the boys was in uniform, too, even down to the small fry ieho should have been tucked in bed at eight.

But the fact re mains that the football spirit here in the hills of Leon is high and even the young 'uns who haven't a look-in on actual competition have the real spirit of the game and an undying admiration for the man who's calling the shots on the gridiron. Coach Godby deserves a lot of credit for inspiring that kind of spirit and a lot more credit in making that spirit count on the field and away from school. PERHAPS WE bragged about Waycross not being afraid of the Lions too soon, when we handed them a bouquet the other day Anyway the ink had hardly got ten dry on the paper before Way cross was telling Coah 'No soap' and Albany was putting their eleven collective necks on the line Anyway it is definitely Albany this time unless Gene Talmadge hears about the Lions and decides better. But Albany is noted for kind of running things up that way and promises to give the lions a real fight a fight that we can vouch will be reciprocated by the Lions. WESLEY CARTER, flashy Lion back of last year, was in town yesterday with the good news that he had made the first string on the Georgia Pups outfit.

Wesley worked himself up from the third string and when you hear of anyone working up from the third string at Georgia you can bet a peanut he came up the hard way. Anyway Wesley has a lot of good things to say about Geor gia's fireball, Frankie Sinkwich but then who hasn't a lot of good things to say about the Bulldog whizzer? Anyway now that the SEC has let down the bars for freshmen it may be that more will be heard from the Carter corner anyway fans here will be plugg'n for the boy who made good at Leon.

GEORGIA DOWNS KENTUCKY, 7 6 Frankie Sinkwich Loose Big Punch Lets By ROMNEY WHEELER. LOUISVILLE, Ky, (JP) Georgia had Frankie Sinkwich. and flat- foot Frankie, the All-American, was what it took to beat the University of Kentucky, 7-6, yesterday before a gasping crowd of 10,000.

The Kentuckians, touted to lose by at least three touchdowns, knocked the Orange Bowl glitter off their Georgia opponents for 56 minutes of a wild and woolly game, taking a 6-0 lead in the third quarter and holding it until Frankie pitched and punched his way to the goal-line in the closing moments. Leo Costa, the placekicking expert, booted the extra (and winning) point. Dour Wally Butts, who spends his spare time telling Georgia and the nation that Georgia is no world-beater, hid his face in his hands when Kentucky recovered a Sinkwich fumble on Georgia's seven, and Charley Kuhn punched over for the score on and end-run after Bob Herbert had been stopped cold on the one-yard line. Sinkwich had lost the ball when the oval spurted from his hands as he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage. It was not Sinkwich, the All-American, who took the spotlight, however, but a Kentucky junior tailback, Phil Cutchin.

He ran, pitched and punted his outfit to at least a moral victory over Georgia, and drew praise even from Georgia partisans. Sinkwich looked like no All- American until the final quarter, and Georgia looked like anything but a bowl champion. In the first half the Georgia line played brilliantly on defense but Blocked like high-schoolers on offense and the team failed to connect on a ma jority of its passing attempts. Charlie (the great) Trippl, billed as "another Frankie Sinkwich," turned up as a monumen tal bust in his debut of intercollegiate football. In typical sophomore fashion, he fumbled the first time he took the ball, pitched an intercepted pass into the arms of an opponent on the next attempt, and lost nearly as much yardage as he gained during the game by being pulled down behind his own line of scrimmage.

CARDINALS GET NEEDED LAYOFF Gashouse Gang Meets Bruins Twice Today CHICAGO, (IP) The pennant-pursuing St Louis Cardinals had another day of rest yesterday a rest they really needed when weather forced postponement of the first game of their all-important two-game series with the Chicago Cubs. As a result, a doubleheader will be played today, starting at 1 (CWT). Manager Billy Southworth of the Cardinals stuck to his original schedule of using his ace righthander, Morton Cooper, the 20-game winner, with Max Lanier his choice for the second game. The Cubs will send Lon War-neke, the Arkansas hummingbird, to the mound for the first contest and Claude Passeau for the second. Warneke, former Cardinal, requested the pitching assignment in hope of upsetting the Cardinals, just as he did the Brooklyn Dodgers to start the Bums in their tailspin out of the National league lead 10 days ago.

Warneke has won 11 games and lost nine, while Passeau has an 18-13 record. Cooper has won 20 and lost 7 and Lanier has won 13 and lost 7. Southworth and his players heard the news that Brooklyn was having trouble with Philadelphia in the early innings of their game and later that the Dodgers had won. They received these reports calmly and without much apparent interest. The Cardinals didn't even start to dress until a few minutes before the game was scheduled to start at 2 m.
