(Ph-St. Louis won the hottest National League pennant fight In twenty years by the Cubs' 6-to-2 victory over the Giants at New York today about one hour before the Cardinals made assurance doubly sure by defeating the Braves here, 2 to 1. To take their only previous National League flag two years ago, the Cardinals had to fight until Friday, with a Sunday finish, but this year's contest held on one day longer.

The 1928 battle will go down hi National League records rinking second only to that of 1908 among all the modern campaigns. The Cubs ot twenty years ago finished the regular season with 150 games played and In a tie with the Giants, who had engaged in the same number. The Cubs then Invaded New York the day after the regular finish and won from the Giants by 4 to 3 In a play-off of the tie game caused by Merkle's famous failure to touch second. SCORE OFF DELANEY The Cards bunched hits on Art Delaney in the first inning for all their runs and never molested Ed Brandt or Art Greenfield who followed. Willie Sherdel pitched seven Innings for the new champions and then gave way to Flint Rhem.

The Braves got their only run off JSherdel ln 4he seventh. The victory of the Cardinals and che defeat of the Giants increased McKechnie's lead to three full games with only one more to play for each contender. The lead is the largest St Louis has enjoyed flnca Labor Day.

As such it hardly ap- pealed to the appetite and there will be plenty of fans to tell you that the Trojans looked terrible. On th contrary we thought they showed promise of being a good football team in the future, but how far away that is depends on how hard the boys work In the days to come. 4 IRUINS AND WILDCATS IN GOLDEN BEARS GET BREAKS AND SCORE 22-TO-O VICTORY OVER SANTA CLARA GRIDDERS STANFORD ELEVEN BEATEN Morion Kaer Sparkles With 70-Yard Return of Punt as Olympic Club Trims Redshirts, 12 to 6 STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Sept. 29.

A disappointing, but not unexpected defeat was what Stanford suffered here this afternoon at the hands of the seasoned Olympic Club eleven. Morton Kaer, former Southern California star, was the sensation ot the Post-street team's victory when In the third quarter he received Hoffman's punt on Ms own 30-yard line and reversing his field, traveled 70 yards to the touchdown, MOORE FIELD the Bruins as a Coast Conference outfit, showed that the U.C.L.A. machine is improving, which is some consolation for Spaulding, despite the fact that they did not capture yesterday's battle. The Bruins at times looked as though they were going to make a runaway of the game, only to have the Wildcats claw them away from their goal line with the wildest kind of battling. Old Lady Luck also stepped In several times yesterday and gave the Wildcats a few breaks that saved their bacon when it was almost a certainty that the Bruins were about to go out in front.

On one occasion on the third period especially CHIT Simpson' fumbled the ball on the Arl- sona 8-yard line and it was scooped up by Bill Hargis. Wildcat fullback, who ran it out the danger zone. This (Continued on Page 3, Column 1) NATIONAL LEAGl'E W. PC. St.

The Bears opened upon the first play of the second quarter carrying the ball to Santa Clara's 3-yard line. Two passes from Lorn to Eisan were chiefly responsible for the advance. Santa Clara held, however, and the Bear chance was gone, but only for the moment. California shoved Santa Clara back up against the goal line after an exchange of punts and Philips, California captain, broke the Ice by scoring on a 16- yard run after he had recov--ered Machado's fumble.
