Sept. 5.

(By the Associated Press.) Gus Schra-der of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, today claimed a new world dirt track automobile record of three minutes. 23.6 seconds for the 5-mile event. He sent his Miller Special around the rain-packed dirt track in the third automobile racing program here yesterday to win the 5-mile American championship race. His time was 2.8 seconds better than the mark established in 1929 by Haugdahl, now racing In the east. Louis Brown, Champaign, 111., placed fourth in a 5-mile I -y-x -x XviLjrX iV'sk i.

"lilif'iiVmriBifrir niiiiiiiiii'nimiiiiii i 1 i "jTo Nothing can be done to establish a pro football team in the tn-clties until next season. Not enough time was available for raiding' sufficient cash to insure the pro sport this fall, though for a time the backers of the movement were confident it could be put over. Operating a professional football eleven is no child's play, and it is useless to think about putting a team in the field unless there is pkniv of sugar. To securce a franchise in the American league, whi, seems to be necessary to pave the way for admittance later in the National Pro league, the sum of $1,500 must be deposited in the Manhattan Bank Trust company or Memphis, to be held in escrow for the performance of all contracts. The nexiartitlay is $350, Which Is paid Inlo Iho league treasury match the amount the other clubs have deposited.

Then there is tho guarantee of $1,250 to the visiting team, or the option of 40 per cent of the net gate. The American league has a player salary limit or $1,000 per game. The cities that have entered for the 19S5 season are Louis, Louisville, Memphis and Dallas. Cities applying for franchises are Kansas City, San Antonio, Texas, Rirmingham. Nashville, Cincinnati and Atlanta, tta.

It would be. well for the boosters of pro football in the tri-cities to keep these figures in mind, no they nmy know definitely what has to be done prior to the 1936 season if the sport is to be revived here. Cap Crosslcy has been signed to again manas the Cedar Rapids baseball club next season. Harry Johnson, president of Cedar Rapids, is joining Paul Lagomarcino, Davenport prexy, in a move to the Three-Eye league. Cedar Rapids, like Davenport, has had enough of the Western league type of baseball.

Roth towns arc anxious to see Rock Island return to organized baseball in '36. Only three lefthanders in modern billiard history have held world championships. The trio of southpaw and former tiilists are Alfredo De Oro (pocket billiards and three cushions): Charles Ellis (three cushions), and Augie Kieckhefer (10 times 3-cushion champion). All are still active, with Kieckhefer remaining a distinct threat to the angle experts. Captain Jay Berwanger of Dubuque, Chicago university's mighty fullback, who will close his collegiate football career against Illinois in the Illinl stadium, 23, went like a house afire in his previous visit to the Illinois arena two years Sioux City Claims Demons Using Too Many Veterans Thomas Homers With Two On.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 6. (By the Associated Press.) A home ruu over the center field fence with two on bases in the eighth inning, off the bat of John Thomas, gave Des Moines a 4 to 2 victory over Sioux City last night and clinched a place in the playoff for the 1935 Western league championship for the Demons. Sioux City held the lead from the second inning, In which it scored its two runs, until Thomas smacked the first ball pitched to him in the eighth. The game, however, was played under protest by Sioux City on tae grounds that Des Moines has more veterans on its roster than the league rules permit.

iuhii Touched freely. George Zahn gave up one or more bingles in every inning except the seventh, but he kept them well scattered except in the sixth and eighth in which the Demons did all of their scoring. It took an error to help the homelings get across the plate in the former irame, but in the latter a base on balls and atraight-away spanking turned the trick. Brooks Holder and Pete Fleming opened the sixth with singles, but Augie Luther failed in his attempts to sacrifice and then looked at a third strike. Thomas poked a grounder to Zahn for what appeared to be the start of a sure double play, but Blakeney, after taking the throw and making the putout overthrew first and 'Holder completed the circuit.

Thomas reached second on the error, but died there when Hugh Luby made a leaping 1-hand catch of Pete Falk's arched liner. With 6ne away in the eighth Holder teased a pass from Zahn and moved to third while Hugh Wlllingham was tossing out Fleming. Luthe-'s infield hit off Zahn's glove put Holder on third and set the stage for Thomas' winning 4-bagger. Tasso Fans Seven. Bill Wilson launched Sioux City's only successful drive with a 2-bag-ger in the second inning.

Harry Whitehouse's walk followed, as did an infield out and Blakeney's single that drove both runners home. Claude Basso, hurling for Des Moines, gave only six hits and did not permit a runner to reach second from the second inning until two were out in the eighth when he issued two passes. The local hurler also struck out seven batters, giving him one less strikeout than innings pitched this season. It was bis 20th victory ol the year. The same teams will meet in the second came of the series tonight.

Wide open at -Six. A blowout at Coach Francis Schmidt and his Buckeyes are going hard to stop. Captain Monahan, all-America guard, is the only regular missing from the 1934 lineup. What's the explanation for the collapse of the New York Giants? They lead the league in hitting, with .289, and also are on top in fielding. Their total of 112 home runs Is 30 more than any other National league club has shot off.

And. in Hubbell, Schmacher, Parmelee. Fitzsimmons and Castleman they are supposed to have the finest staff in baseball. The answer must be that the Giants lust can't take it when the sailing get rough. Attention Detroit Tigers! Back in 1905 Cleveland started on its last road trip with a 104 grme lead and lost the pennant.

The Tigers, by the way. have been blanked only three times this season, by Hudlin of Cleveland, and Tamulis and Ruffing or the New York Yanks. The Cincinnati Reds are Just beginning to get some interest on that $70,000 "farm" investment they had at Peoria in the old Three-I lergue days. Gene Scott, who started his baseball career with the Tractors and later went to the Reds, has been pitching spectacular ball for Cincinnati of late, and Walter Hilcher, leading International' league hurler, also is a Peoria product. Jack Redmond, Washington catcher, who was sent home a couple of weeks ago because of "dead" fingers ou his catching hand, has rejoined the club.

The Davenport Blue Sox received exactly $3,500 for Al Piechota, righthand pitcher. Before the season started the Sox offered -to trade Piechota for Al McNeely, then with Albany of the International league, and $1,500. Albany chilled on the $1,500 part, 60 McNeely was sold to Rock Island for $1,000. Al Lopea of Brooklyn was fined $50 after a run-in with Umpiro Barr. Lopes argued about a called strike until Umpire Barr's patience was exhausted.

The ump put his hand In his pocket, as though pulling out a watch, and Laterals and Forwards to Be Used Thh Season as Xever Before, Belief of Cadets' Pilot. West Point, N. Sept. 5. (By the Associated Press.) Football is coming out into the open this sea son as never before, says Lieutenant Gar Davidson, commander-in-chief of the Army gridirons, and aad indeed will be the major league coach who hasn't his laterals and forward passes ready -for the test.

"The way Alabama passed and ran Stanford into rout in the Rose bowl was the preview of the kind of attack you're going to see everywhere all he says. Plan Passing Attack "I've got my men playing touch football as much 'as possible, passing the ball around all the time, getting used to handling it and plucking it out of the air from all angles, I'm hoping they'll develop to a point where they'll handle laterals instinctively. We're going all the way on a passing attack." Davidson, white-haired though till in his thirties, believes that Army's 3 to 0 defeat by Navy last fall, first time the midshipmen upset the Cadets since 1021. did more good than harm. Cadets to Be ToufheiV, "The Cadets got used beating the Navy." he said, "that they lost their mental edge.

I knew it before the game last fall. There was nothing I could do to lift them out of it. Now it Is different. They're back on their feet again. They'll be all the tougher this year for that licking." Davidson is concentrating on a forward-passing combination that iooks spectacular.

Joe Nazarro of Brooklyn, who didn't fit into last year's combination headed by Jack Buckler and Joe Stancook, is the finest passer Army has boasted in years. On the ends are two brilliant receivers. Captain Bill Shuler and Maurice Preston. There's no bluff In Army's aerial threat. Line Will Be Bigger.

A bigger, faster line than last year's combination, a plentitude of backs with none of Buckler's outstanding ability, gives Davidson a chance to mould a more versatile eleven. He's going in heavily for Ingle wing-back formations and a running attack that moves as frequently to the right as to the left.

The two teams will conclude their series tonight with a double header at the municipal stadium. The opposing pitchers, Phebui for Davenport and Lott for Keo kuk, had a nice duel in the night-rap, each allowing six hits.

Wise continued to be the fielding sensation, handling 15 chances with only bobole in the two games.

Tubbs lit Superb Form. Frank Tubbs, on the mound fqr Davenport in the first game, was extremely stingy with his hits. He granted one in the first inning, two in the eighth and one in the ninth.

Included among them were Riley's homer over the right field fence in the fourth inning, Polly's triple and doubles by Polly and Riley.

ATTEMPT TO SPEED GOLF BALL AROUND COURSE AT CHICAGO Chicago, Sept 5. (By the Associated Press.) A team of 24 players will attempt to speed a golf ball around an 18-hole course in 20 minutes or less next Sunday. Under the method of play to be used, one man will drive off from each tee while two men stand ready around the 200-yard marker on each side of the fairway. The man nearest the drive plays it to the screen where a chip shot man and a putter await the ball. As soon as it is holed out, the bail la thrown (to save time) to the next tee where the same system is used.

The difficulty is expected to arise at the end of the fifth hole. Use of five men on each "hole crew" will exhaust the supply of manpower by the time the sixth hole ia reached. It will be necessary, therefore, to transport the eripw from the first hole to the sixth in less than four minutes, the tlm (allotted for the ball to travel ater the first five holes. No one knows the of the scheme, but if a few men fall down they may be looking for him Sunday night. PROPIIECY FULFILLED.
