BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer Lightning seldom strikes twice in the same spot but National league contenders, harking back to 1914, are casting an apprehensive eye on the exploits of the Boston Braves. There's still a long hard struggle ahead of Bill McKechnie's hopefuls before they can rival the feat of the Braves of 19 years ago BY DON GI IRE Associated Press Sports Writer DES MOINES, Aug. 23. (Associated Press) Pat Wilcox, an Iowa born professional now teaching golf at Norfolk, and Den-mar Miller, at various times holder af Iowa's premier links titles, started off today in quest of the state open championship a stroke '-V i 1 1-1 i 4 Mi i 0 D(: Dvl i A'W Wendell York, sensational young pitcher from Monmouth college, signed away his eligibility as a college athlete yesterday when he affixed his signature to a Davenport Blue Sox contract. York had two years of college competition remaining at Monmouth hut could not see his way clear to remain In school, being without the necessary funds.

So he finally agreed to turn professional when approached by Manager Cletus Dixon of the Davenport team. Wendell will pitch against Springfield tonight. He stands six feet in height and weighs close to 200 pounds. He was a star tackle on the Monmouth football team. Last spring he held the strikeout record in the Little Nineteen.

He whiffed 111 during the short college season. He averaged better than ten strikeouts for the ten games, whiffing 18 Bradley batters in his final game.

BV LEO KAl'TZ Cletus Dixon and his Davenport Blue Sox practically clinched the Mississippi Valley league championship last night by taking both ends of a double header from Springfield, 11 to 8 and 9 to 2. increasing their lead over Rock Island to nine full games. Only a miracle can rob the Blues of the title. They won the first half of the split season in a walk and are now dog-trotting home to another easy victory in the second half. Tonight the final game of the series will be played with Springfield.

Wendell York, sensational voung pitcher who burned up the Little Nineteen conference while with Monmouth college last spring, joined the Dixon team yesterday and will take the mound tonight. He will be given a trial by the Davenport club in two or three games before the season ends. Terrible BaM-ball Springfield played terrible ball In both games last night. Just why the St. Louis Cardinals can't Eather a better ball club is hard to enport the best to be had in the Class league.

Al Schultze is the I heir fourth straight triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates and their 17th victory in 21 games yesterday sent the Braves flying into second place, seven games behind the New York Giants. McKechnie's crew was in fifth place when their winning streak began 24 days ago. Berger's Homer Wins Wally Berger's 22nd homer ia the 1-lth inning gave the Braves their 5-4 decision over the Pirates yesterday and ruined what otherwise was an all but perfect job of relief pitching by the veteran Waite Hoyt.

Pete Jordan Shoots a 73 Another stroke further back, at 73, came the defending champion, Pete Jordan, Miller's deadliest rival for most of the state titles. Tied with him was John Kraft of Oel-wein, a powerful figure in Iowa golf for several years. The groups posting 74 and 75 comprised largely the most dangerous of the professional contenders. Harold Smith of the West Okoboji club, Ted Payseur of Dubuque and Jack Hall, young Des Moines pro, were tied with an amateur, Big Bill Hagen of Sioux City, at 74.

Two pros occupied the 75 class, Joe Brown of Des Moines, state professional king, and Clarence Yockey, young Kansas City contender. A large group of former stars found the country clubs rain sod cuit this season. His outfield of Cotelle, Ed Hall and Etten, is by-far the hardest hitting trio in Class B. baseball. Cotelle is hitting .421, Hall .326 and Etten .351.

Ed is also the home run king of the Valley with 26 to his credit, a new ail-time record. The Blue Sox also boast the finest infield in the Valley, with George Meyer at short and Frank Hall at second hard to beat when Here they are, Davenport's championship-bound Blue Sox, who will break into faster company tomorrow night at the Municipal Stadium in an exhibition game with Indianapolis of the American association. The Indians will arrive in Davenport early in the morning from Kansas City and will leave tomorrow night for Milwaukee to open a series with the Brewers. The Davenport club is by far the best developed in the Mississippi PEORIA, 111., Aug. 23.

Gordon Touhey is the class of rookie southpaws and Irving Cohen and Al Piechota have had great seasons in their first year of organized ball.

He has spared no effort to give Dav I Smith had given way to a pinch man who pays the boys off every 15 days. He looks after the finances of the club and conducts all business at the Municipal Stadium. Last, but far from least, is Dale Eggert, the mascot who works harder than any player on the team when Davenport is at home. Dale is envied by every boy in Davenport.

He's got a job they'd all like to have. Tomorrow night Davenport customers will know just how good their Blue Sox are this year. If they beat Indianapolis, which is no idle dream, the local team can boast a record never before approached by a team in the Valley. ciated Press) Tony Gober Was i hitter.

The catching department is well supreme here last night, holding the Rock Island Valley leaguers hitless until the sixth, and shutting them out until the ninth inning, while Peoria hammered out a 15 to 2 victory, routing three Islander hurlers.

Miller, a long driver who is playing over his home course, ranks as the top favorite despite the fine field close on his trail. His consistency during the season, despite the fact that he was eliminated early in the Iowa amateur tournament a month ago, makes him the most feared of the competitors. The survivors of today's 18 hole test will resume the struggle tomorrow over the 36 hole route, completing the tournament tomorrow night. tween a great collection of far chance against the Blue Sox.

Al Piechota went to the mound in the first game, after pitching the final four innings against Peoria the night before, and kept the Birds from becoming frisky until the late innings when he began to tire. Bob Lengquist relieved him in the ninth with the bags loaded and got the visitors out without much trouble. It was Piechota's 16th victory of the season. Irving Cohen pitched the second game. He worked five innings the night before but breezed right through the Birds, allowing them only five hits in the seven innings.

Crodels was the victim in the nine inning contest and Wagner lost his ninth game of the season, without victory, in the night-cap.

Etten kept up the good work in the short tilt with two for four while Ed Hall had to be satisfied with one hit. The Davenport sockers went to work in a hurry in the opening game.

The crowd of 2,302 got a big jolt in the first inning when Ed Hall socked one into the river with Meyer and Cotelle on base. That gave the Blues a lead that was never overcome. Springfield scored one in the second on a walk and Turner's double but the Sox got it back in the third on hits by Ed Hall and Etten and a passed ball. Another Red Bird run came across in the fourth on doubles by Smargassi and Thomas.
