Genuine Leather Doable Lined FOOTBALLS 2.19-$2.95-$3.50-$5 6TH PEIHT Victory in Cleveland or Loss for Boston Red Sox Will Clinch It BY SID FEDER (Associated Press Sports Writer) The St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers are beginning to look like a couple of playboys with empty pockets fighting for the check in a night club, and it might be that they've just dis covered the New York Yankees are about to clinch the American League pennant. You knew, the National League winner has to take on the Yanks in the World Series, and in five of the last six sets that has turned out to be about as hilarious as a champagne hangover. Yanks Meet Indians Oh, sure, the National Leaguers always have shown up for the series, but on several occasions in the past they might as well have "stood in bed." And now the hour has arrived when the Yanks can put the clincher on the 1942 flag. A victory in Cleveland today or a loss for the Boston Red Sox In Chicago gives the Yanks their sixth pennant in seven years.

So the news may have affected the Dodgers and Cardinals accordingly. Anyway, there were few signs during yesterday's firing that either the collapsible Flatbush Pol-lies or the hot-and-cold Cardi nals were any too eager to get in there with the Yankees. The Dodgers blew up in losing both ends of a doubleheader to Cincinnati, 6-0, and 4-1. It's probably a lucky thing they're a-ble to close for repairs until Wed nesday. Cards Looked Better Meanwhile, the Cards looked somewhat better in splitting a bargain bill with Philadelphia Phils to take a one-game edge in the race.

But with a chance to double that bulge they handed the first game to the Phils, 2-1. They did- it, mind you, on a couple of errors with two out in the ninth After that, they took the night cap, 3 to 2, when Terry Moore broke a tie with his fifth homer of the year. Brooklyn's efforts weren't near ly that close, in the first game Bucky Walters pitched a six-hitter and swatted a jackpot three run double. Ray Starr, who has been about as tough for Brooklyn in the past as a walk through the park, suddenly became a Mathew-son in the nightcap and hurled a five -hitter. In this "contest" the Dodgers' fielding went bye-bye.

Third Baseman Lew Riggs committed three errors in one inning to help the Reds along. Shortstop Is 'Hero' This tied a modern National League record but before the afternoon was over the mark was broken. The "hero" was young Lennie Merullo, the Chicago Cubs shortstop. Apparently excited o-ver becoming a new papa, Lennie fumbled four in one frame of the second game with the Boston Braves, but Chicago managed to hang on for a 12 to 8 triumph. The Braves took the opener, 11 to 6.

The Yankees arrived at the pennant doorstep by mowing down Cleveland 9-1 and 4-1. The Red Sox also clicked twice over the Chicago White House 6-1 and 5- with Bill Butland winning his seventh in a row in the first and Tex Hughson collecting his 19th of the year in the afterpiece. The New York Giants knocked over Pittsburgh twice, 5-0 and 5-3; the St. Louis Browns gave Philadelphia Athletics the same medicine, 7-0 and 3-2, and Washington took the first from Detroit, 5-2, but lost the second, 8-0. Yesterdas Stars (By tba Associated Press) Bucky Walters and Ray Starr, Reds Walters pitched six-hit ball, drove in three runs with two- bagger to down Brooklyn 6-3 in double-header opener; Rajr Starr tossed five-hitter, knocked in one run with single for 4-1 nightcap win.

Red Ruffing and Hank Borowy, Yankees Ruffing muffled Indians with seven hits for 9-1 opener win; Borowy pitched nine-hitter, knocked in two runs for 4-1 victory in second game. Tommy Hughes and Tom Liv ingston, Phillies, and Terry Moore, Cardinals Hughes handcuffed Cards wiht three hits and Living ston single drove winning run home in ninth inning for 2-1 opener triumph; Moore's homer won second game 3-2. Bill Butland and Tex Hughson, Red Sox Pitched four-hitter and seven-hitter, respectively, to whip White Sox 6-1 and 5-0. Elden Anker, Vern Stephens and Frank Hayes, Browns Auker shut out Athletics 7-0 with three hits in opener; Stephens's homer and Hayes single drove runs during winning rally in 3-2 nightcap vie tory. Avery Olson, Cubs Fernandez Very Olson.

Cubs Fernandez went four-for-four, including two doubles, drove in two runs and scored three in 11-6 first-game win; Olson blanked Braves with one hit in two-inning relief to save 12-8 second-game decision.

HIES WILL PLAY ALL-STARS SIDM League Managers to Select Team Tuesday to Oppose Champions Auburndale's second-half Yellow River League champion baseball team clinched the season's league title from the first-half champion, Milladore, in a 9 to 8 thriller at Auburndale yesterday. The Auburndale nine, having gained the second-half crown by virtue of a 2 to 1 shellacking of Milladore last week, began the game with a run in the first inning only to have the visitors duplicate in their half of the stanza.

The home team batted out three runs in the second inning and Milladore came back in the third with five runs to take the lead, Auburndale tying the score in the fourth. Milladore scored again in the seventh and Auburndale took the game in that inning by scoring twice. Another run by Milladore in the eighth was duplicated by the home team and the ninth Inning went scoreless. Managers of Yellow River League teams will meet at the home of Russell Sullivan at 8:30 p. m.

Wallace Wade's hand-picked squad. The game, "one of a series of Army Relief Fund contests between the All-Stars and members of the National Pro Footfall League, attracted 20,000 spectators to Marquette Stadium and netted approximately $40,000 for the fund. Cecil Isbell and Don Hutson, the bane of pro league teams for many seasons, spelled the difference for the Packers, but it remained for a large John Kim-brough, the former Texas Ag gies' All-America fullback, to turn in the game's most spectacu lar play.

Runs 95 Yards to Score With the Army trailing 9 to 7 early in the third period, Kim-brough took the kickoff, fumbled momentarily, and then set off on an electrifying 95-yard jaunt for a touchdown through the Packer team. Bill Dawson added the ex tra point. It was this same Kimbrough who set up the game's first touch down in the opening quarter, with Jimmy Nelson registering the score and Dawson kicking the point. The Packers had four scoring opportunities in the half, but cashed in only once after Isbell connected on five successive passes, one of them a 37-yard toss to Hutson. Andy Uram snared the session of the ball on the Army 7 to 6.

Kick and Field Goal Ted Fritsch, formerly of Stevens Point Teachers' and now operating at fullback for the Packers, kicked a 33-yard field goal in the third quarter to put the Bays back in front, 9 to 7, but Kimbrough's scamper followed the kickoff and the Army led again, 14 to 9. Then Isbell went to work. He pased to Hutson for a touchdown, pausing six plays later to permit Tony Canadeo to flip another scoring pass to Fritsch. The Army then turned to the air, but Fritsch intercepted one of Mari on Pugh's passes and ran 32 yards for another Packer touchdown. Kimbrough Scores Again The Army scored again early in the last quarter when Kimbrough cut back through the line after Kay Eakin's pass to Forest Ferguson had advanced the ball 40 yards to the Packer five.

The final Bay score came on an other Isbell pass, this one to Uram, late in the period. The game ended with the Packers in possession of the bal Ion the Army two-yard-line. Green Bay completed 18 of 37 passes for 263 yards, to three out of nine and 74 yards for the Army. The Bays' superiority was demonstrated even further on first downs, the pros fashioning 25 and the Army five. Milladore Mr.

PHOJTE 747 OPEN EVENINGS AND SUNDAYS CLOSE PENNANT BATTLE SAVES DUROCHER FROM SUSPENSION Brooklyn VP) There's some consolation for Brooklyn fans in the Dodgers' National League plight, after all. Manager Leo Durocher had a telegram from League President Ford C. Prick today in which Prick informed him he had been fined $100 and that "only the closeness of the National League race" kept the Dodger boss from suspension for his run-in Saturday with Umpire Al Barlick. Chuck Dressen, coach of the Dodgers, was fined $50 and suspended five days for the same dispute.

PHONE 32 while the good meat was left to rot there in the marsh. Had it not been for this law though, the wood duck might have disappeared. It was not idle talk when they said that the hunters had killed so many of these beau tiful, easy-to-shoot birds that soon there would be no more of their kind. Just as the passenger pigeon had disappeared so, they claimed, would this beautiful bird be gone forever. As a fisherman and one who ties his own flies, I am glad that I can once again own these beau tiful, under the wing, feathers.

I can tie three dozen wet flies and dry flies from one bird alone, enough to last a season, when the mayflies or duns are on the water. As one who feels a sort of kin ship towards all living things of beauty I'd hate to see the wood ducks exterminated. There are thousands of other feathers which I can use for flies, if need be. I feel that it is up to those of us who hunt, to stand up and shout for a $50 fine again on wood ducks when we see any danger of too great a decrease in their flocks. EAGLE PASSES DEFEAT PITTSBURGH STEELERS Pittsburgh JP The Phila delphia Eagles soared through the air lanes with ease Sunday to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 24- 14, in their opening National Pro fessional Football League game.

Bill Dudley, Virginia star, ran 44 yards for the first Pittsburgh touchdown less than a minute after the start of the game.

IT'LL SAVE TOUK CAB! PROPER LUBRICATION Oa thine yam simply emn't mttwi Iriasp or taJu chueea with Expert labrieation cmarsaiccd ARNIE'S SUPER SERVICE Arraaa tnm Sacred Hnrrt Chunk THE FLY FISHERMAN'S DUCK It is with. mixed feelings that the fisherman reads the duck laws this year. The law says that the duck hunter can shoot one wood duck each day of the hunting Lseason. Last year this was the law for the southern hunter only; this year the northern hunter is on a par with the southern hunter for wood ducks are now legal shooting in the north. Not that wood ducks havent't been killed each year and every year since the ban has been put upon them.

Few hunters took them home though; they shot them and left them there to rot In the marsh or on the shore. There was a $50 fine if you were caught with one in your posses sion. The male wood duck is, in my opinion and in the opinion of most hunters, the most beautiful duck in all the world. It is also one of the easiest ducks to hunt and to kill. It is the duck which furnishes the finest marked feathers for the amateur or professional fly tier.

No man who ties flies was as proud of owning any duck feathers as he was of a little handful of male wood duck feathers. The average duck hunter seldom, if ever, killed a wood duck deliberately. The average duck hunter cannot tell what sort of a duck comes flying in front of his blind. It takes an expert bird man or an old time duck hunter to look into the air and say, "Here come some black ducks, those are teal flying there and over there are mallards and some canvasbacks." To the majority of duck hunters a duck is a duck, the season is open, he shoots and then looks the duck over and tries to find what sort cf a duck he shot. There is no excuse for the deer hunter who shoots a doe when the buck season Is on.

He doesn't shoot until he sees horns and knows that they are large enough to be legal. When a deer hunter violates, he violates deliberately. Not so with the duck hunter for he violates often through ignor ance and without, malice afore thought; he just doesn't know the ducks. Duck hunters often came across dead wood ducks, shot by men who did not and still do not know how to tell the different species. Sometimes one would look around and stoop over the duck for just a moment.

A few passes of the hands, a furtive move or two In his pockets and he would walk on. The average duck hunter would notice nothing that had changed li ne were a nsnerman and a duck hunter he would know what had happened though. "He would know that the beautiful soft tan feathers with the jagged black ribs had been quickly plucked from the dead, male wood duck. Those tan feathers which lie just along and just under both wings are precious feathers. They are used to make some of the choicest of trout flies and bass flies but it was against the law to have the feathers in your possession.

I could never quite see the sense in allowing that dead male 'wood duck to lie there and rot In the marsh and those beautiful, useful feathers go to waste. It was crimjnal, according to the law. to pluck them; it seemed criminal to me to allow them to go to waste. Fifty dollars and costs Is not a fine to be sneezed at. yet somehow or other a dead male wood duck would occasionally be plucked of these precious feathers, Helmets 1.69-2.19-3.50 Shoulder Pads Football Shoes $5.95 Marshfield BooH 331 S.
