30 (P). Ken Keltners single scoring Ben Chapman from second gave the Cleveland Indians a tenth Inning victory over the New York Yankees, 4-3, tonight before a crowd of 35,000 at Cleveland Stadium. The Tribe nearly gave the game away on errors. The Yanks tied the score at 2-2 in the seventh, scoring a run without a hit, and took a 3-2 lead on another run in the eighth when Bruce Campbell made a three-base muff off Red Rolfes fly to right. Rolf scored on Charley Kellers single, GRIMES PASSED The Indians tied it up in the ninth when Lefty Gomez walked pinch-hitter Oscar Grimes with the bases loaded.

New York collected only four hits off southpaws Al Miln'ar and Harry Eisenstat, while the Indians were held to seven by Gomez and righthander Johnny Murphy. Joe piMaggio doubled in the first inning, scoring Rolfe who had singled. Cleveland took a 2-1 lpad in the fourth when Hal Trosky clouted his 23rd home run of the season into the right field stands with Ben Chapman on base.

Their first game is tentatively listed for Wednesday evening, September 20, while one week later the Philadelphia Phillies, starring Davey OBrien, may be the attraction. It is hoped to present at least four major outfits, including Washington with the famed Sammy Baugh on deck. WEST VIRGINIA NATIVE Slagle, a native of Beckley, West Virginia, has grown up with professional football and is confident the grid Miners will achieve the same popularity as their diamond brethen. The future of the Eastern League, of which Scranton was member last year, is still hanging in balance.

President-elect Joe Costello expects to have an important announcement within the next week. roraote McGowan To Higher League Will Join Sally Loop Next Year PARAGOULD, Aug. 30. Announcement was made today by George Bertig, president of the Arkansas Northeastern League, that James "Henny McGowan, Archbald, and who has been officiating in the league since the start of this season, has been sold to the South Atlantic (Sally) League. McGowan, serving his first year as an umpire in organized baseball is to report to his new affiliation in 1940.

It is understood that McGowans advancement from a Class to a Class circuit was recommended by 4udg W. G. Bramham, president of the Association of Minor Leagues. Bramham watched McGowan at work and was quick to recommend his graduation to a higher class circuit. McGowan entry Into organized ball and his quick advancement in his first season is worthy of special comment inasmuch as he officiated last season locally only in second class leagues, the NEP Junior, Pocono Mountain and Northern Scholastic.

During the Spring, he took a special course at the Charley Barr umpiring school at Hot Springs, and the scouts who looked over the students were very much impressed with his work and he was quickly signed. Herb Freedman Named Tennis Club Leader New officers for the 1940 season of the Lockhart Club, a member of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Tennis Association, were elected recently. Herb Freedman was made president; Donald Travis, vice-president; Joseph Seimak, secretary; Dr. C. W.

Letchu, treasurer, and Anthony Mozuactus, assistant secretary. James Grego was elected chairman of the protest board, other members of the board being Chares Gordan and Cyril Bosak.

Slagle (a week from now hell never be called anything save "Dutch) is both collegiate and football. His becoming, short clipped hair which grandpa used to term a "pompadour," and massive, athletically-developed figure telling the story of his past, present and future better than any collection of words.

But it is the future which, interests "Dutch most at the moment, for hes just signed a contract to coach Jim Sweeney's Scranton professional football Miners, hence his presence in such congenial company as that of Bob Riley, the team manager; Joe Costello, president of the Eastern grid loop, and Tom Kelly, ye old U. of Scranton warrior wholl serve as Slagles assistant. he looks young enough to have marched off any "Old Ivy campus (Penn and West Virginia lay claim to him) the man wholl attempt to put the pro game on a plane here unequalled since the early 20s, when Jack Schafer and Gordy Williams, the latter, dad of one of our Scrantonian-Tribune coworkers, is actually a veteran of 14 pro campaigns. Thus hes probably seen as much of the money end of the touchdown making business as any active figure around the cir-cuit, or in his own language, "Seen it go a long way. The when he started in the exciting field, were $25 per game if you were darn good.

i -Today, thanks to excellent su-. pervision and good promotion, $125 a contest is ordinary for these with ability, and $15,000 a season not un-usual. A pro man at heart, Slagle makes no attempt to hide his affection for this division of football. "The games 100 per "Vcent smarter than when I Vl.started in, and by far the best There's nothing ift the college game to compare with Like all pro men, "Dutch specializes in "something different, which also helps dis-j'tinguish the cash-and-carry type from that presented by the He prefers a semi-V wide-open formation which giyes the spectator a bette- show, and increases scoring possibili-! ties. Adding to this information: Thats what the people come r- out for, isnt it? Hes Stuck on Name Miners for Outfit i A pioneer, so to speak, Slagle is here after stopovers at Atlan- City, Canton, New York (as I "a member of the original Giants) Chicago (he served with the -National League Bears there) Louisville, Cincinnati and Wil-, mington, purely on the recom-mendation of the higher-ups of gridom.

Sweeney wanted help, sought a specialist in all de-i. partments from producing a winner to better acquainting the public with the finer points, and advised to grab Dutch at any cost. How far Slagle will go to- wards doiqjf his part is illus-, trated by the preliminary plans which include: (1) demonstra-t tions and clinics for both high school coaches and players, free of any cost (2) a Miners football conference of sand-lot to be sponsored by the Scranton team which hell also instruct. Born with a whole-hearted appreciation for "tie-ins he has a dozen and one similar ideas to sprout at the proper time. Yet through it all he emphasizes the that a good club is the first requisite here.

Itll be a hand-picked team, carefully selected, Slagle said, i for the talent hell receive from Giants, Brooklyn, Washington and of the National League. -But this doesnt mean were not looking for local talent. The boys are certainly welcome to come out, and if they have the stuff well make it worth their while to stay with us, the barrel-chested newcomer repeated. Riley talked about a tag for the Scrantonians, and before the query had circled the room, I Slagle offered: Lets call them the Miners. I think thats a I corking name.

Anyone who doesnt take advantage of the I natural advertisement it gives I the team, and the region it rep-j resents is foolish. I couldnt help under the circumstances, think I about our baseball people, who because they got a few uniforms, with the name Red Sox already sewed on, a trifle cheaper, passed up a marvelous opportunity to ballyhoo the, basic industry. Slagle, fsked about a slogan, and Costello won the honors when he suggested: Dig in With the Miners. Naturally we all agreed, but Ill hold my tongue in check and trust the players dont get the idea wrong, and proceed to-i4 wards the China Vein, or the ottom of the league. CLAIM ARK T.

LOUIS. The Cardinals are nlng some sort of record for tng seven straight doublers this season. of by S. she 17 I I Played Above Heads In Western Coup By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK, Aug. 30 The St.

Louis Cardinals will be glad to leave the east behind and head for home tomorrow night after their most disastrous tour of the season. Just 10 days ago, these same Cardinals came booming out of Cincinnati into the East, riding the crest of 17 victories and one tie in 22 games. Their doJale-header triumph over Cincinnati August 20 left them only 3A games behind the league-leading Reds. Since July 30, Ray Blades Cards had pared 8 A games off the Reds lead, and seemed destined to march past Bill McKechnie's stumbling outfit straight to the pennant. Then they opened their last eastern campaign.

What happened to this club in the East? What made them play the worst ball in the National League? The consensus of players and writers around Cardinal headquarters at the Lincoln Hotel on this cold, moist off-day was this: STRANGE CONTRAST (1) The Cards, who have the best club batting average and the worst fielding mark in the National circuit, were playing above their heads during those 22 games in the West. Not only were they getting all the breaks, not only could they do nothing wrong, but they were beating clubs who were slumping at the time. For example, they beat Pittsburgh four straight, but registered only 14 runs while doing it (2) After completing that winning Western splurge by taking the series at Cincinnati under heavy pressure, the natural re action set in when they arrived in Brooklyn. The whole club let down, and theyjost three straight to the ambitious Dodgers. Then they dropped one of three to the Phillies and three out of four to Boston.

those four encounters with the Bees, Mr. Blades boys made 12 errors, which is pretty fair booting. INFIELD CRIPPLED (3) The Cardinal infield, one of the weakest in Ford Fricks division, was impaired further in the second game at Brooklyn when second baseman Jimmy Brown collided with first sacker Johnny Mize, forcing Brown out of play for the Eastern campaign with brain concussion, and leaving Mize with a sore shoulder that still interferes with his reaching for throws at the bag and with his wallop at the plate. Brown had been hitting around .300, but his replacement, Stu Martin, has been weak with the wand.

The Brown dug themselves a deeper hole in the cellar of the American League today by losing a double-header to the seventh-place Philadelphia Athletics, 9-8 and 2-0. They now trail the A's by eight games. Lynn Nelson pitched the shutout in the nightcap, which was called on account of darkness after seven innings. An error permitted the first As run and the other came across on Bob Johnsons single and Earl Bruckers double. A 9-run rally in the seventh inning gave the Athletics the ver diet in the first game.

The Tigers were outhlt 12-8, Freddy Hutchinson giving up eight of the safeties and being charged with all the Boston runs before he was removed from the pitching mound in the fourth inning. Jack Wilson pitched well enough to win until the eighth, which he entered with a 6-4 lead.

With one out, Wilson walked Rudy York and Pinky Higgins. Fox scored York with a single, and Higgins counted the tying run on Tebbetts safe hit to right, which Williams fumbled, allowing FoXr to follow him across the plate. The Tigers used five pitchers in all, Slicker Coffman who hurled the eighth inning, being credited with the victory.
