Won Last Game Meanwhile, as the affairs of the Generals were being aired in Chicago, the rest of the club was winning the final scheduled game of the season from Hopkinsville, 5 to 4.

John King, another sandlot product of the Madison County area, pitched until midway in the ninth frame, and was credited with the win. He lost a close battle for strikeout honors. Wright, the Hoppers' pitcher, ran his strikeout total up to two, while one King's limit. King, incidentally, was the lad who stood at the plate when Wright made both his three-strikers good. Merkel socked a homer in the There he was yesterday, doing a relief chore for the beleaguered Tribe and getting credit for his 24th victory.

He went to the- mound at the start, of the ninth with the score tied at 4-4 and hurled two scoreless stanzas before Jeff Heath doubled and scored the run that beat the Chicago White Sox, 5-4 in the tenth. This broke a six-game tailspin by the Indians and them mathematically in front of the Tigers, although the two are tied in games won and lost The Yanks also won to stay a game behind.

Tommy Birdges got credit for his tenth victory when Rudy York homered in the eighth to break a tie score. The Yankees overwhelmed the Red Sox, 9-4, to dim Boston's pennant hopes, although the club is only five games behind the leaders and at least technically in range. The Washington Senators and Philadelphia Athletics divided a double-header. The Senators squeezed through to a 7-6 triumph in the first game, and the A's took the five-inning nightcap, halted by darkness, 4-0. The Cincinnati Redswere spellbound by Vern Olsen and the Chicago Cubs captured a 3-1 decision by bunching ten hits in the first six innings against Milkman Jim Turner.

Superin-tendent C. E. Brock of Humboldt public schools, announced today that a conference for coaches and principals of the schools in tha Humboldt area would be held in the Humboldt High School auditorium tonight at 8 o'clock. The purpose of this conference is to discuss the new rules and regulations of football and other athletic activities of high schools, and study the schedules and plans of the high school football teams in this area. the margin between first and second place in the National League to six and a half games.

But they hardly raised any pennant temperatures even among the huge crowd of 53,623 that saw the Dodgers at work. The first game saw a three-run homer by Dolph Camilll In tha fifth. The Pittsburgh Pirates swept a double-header from the St Louis Cardinals. 16-14 and 5-4, and took over third place, but the big show for St. Louis fans was Johnny Mizc hitting three home runs in the opening tussle.

He thus record-holder as the first play ever to perform this stunt fow times in his career. The homers brought his season's total to 41. The last place Phillies copped a double bill, 2-1 and 3-1, from tha Boston Bees. A fa Ul With that matter out of the way. they were ready for tonight's Lakeview opening of the league playoff, matching the Generals with Bowling Green.

The charges, reportedly made by Owensboro, resulted in a called conference at- which representatives from the Jackson, Hopkins-ville. Bowling Green and Owensboro clubs appeared before baseball's high commissioner. President Ben F. Howard of the Kitty League was also present. Manager Mickey O'Neil told The Jackson Sun in a telephone call from Chicago yesterday afternoon that Landis "dismiss the whole case and made fools of them" the "them" referring to whoever brought the charges.

The charges set forth, it was understood, that Jackson and Hopkins ville had favored Bowling Green in the race by using outfielders on the mound against the Barons. Present at the conference from Jackson were Mickey O'Neil, President. Hartle Gilland, and Harry Williams, one of the two Jackson players involved in the charges. The other, Al Cuozzo. was unable to go because of an infected ankle.

The Associated Press reported from Chicago that Landis declared following the conference: "There was some talk that the Hopklnsville, Ky and Jackson Temw teams did not put out their best against Bowling Green, but after hearing details of the case from the clnbs, I am not going to interfere at all. There is no ground for action by my office and the matter is closed as far as I am concerned." Although original reports declared Hugh Wise and J. C. Miller, president of the Owensboro club, had made the charges, official verification of the fact was not forthcoming. President Howard said Miller informed him his club had made no accusations.

However, Miller has been known to write a letter denouncing exactly the alleged practices which were involved in the charges studied at Chicago. The letter, written only last week to President Howard, declared in part: "When anyone connected with the Kitty League makes a direct statement that they are going to save and rest their best pitchers to use against our club, and then use their outfielders as pitchers against our rival so that they have the best chance to beat our club, and up to this time they have already literally done so, then it is time for us to stop our nostrils as something is wrong." Ready for Series O'Neil revealed that the Generals would be given assistance in the playoff, filling in gaps on the club caused by injuries. Charles Martin, Union City's manager-catcher, will take the skipper's place behind the plate. O'Neil was put out of business for the rest of the season by a broken thumb.

As it turned out, both Wisbar and Byrd were forced to fight a two out of three fall indi vidual match to decide the winner of the last fight because of Referee Jack Pierce's refereeing.
