Star Market scored single runs in three innings to defeat Trussville. P. McLaughlin, Trussville pitcher, gave up only nine hits, and kept them fairly well scattered to prevent more scoring. Errors led to two of Star Market's runs and Noah Chandler stole home for the other one after also stealing third. Glascock went safe on an error, went to second on an error and scored on an infield out after Williams' single in the second, and B.

Chandler beat out a hit to third, took second on Rich's single and took third on McLaughlin's error and scored on a second error in the inning for the winning run after Chandler had stole home in the third. Perfection had two big innings to beat Tuscaloosa. C. C. Davis, who started on the mound for Tuscaloosa, faced only 10 men in the first three innings, but he gave up two runs in the fourth and paved the way for three more in the fifth before being relieved by Shirley, who retired the side and didn't allow another run.

But Hugh Ellis, shaky at the start, giving up three runs in the first two innings, breezed through without any trouble once lead. Another was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, weather permitting, with Nauvoo Deepwater Coal meeting Cordova in the first game, and Piper-Coleanor playing Pell City in the second game.

CARDS PULL UP TO TIE GIANTS IN LOOP CHASE Terry To Find If Brooklyn Is In League During Final Games BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. Associated Press Sports Writer The weight of the National League's keenest pennant battle since the famous 1908 duel between the Giants and the Cubs rested upon two second division clubs, the Brooklyn Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds, as much as upon the pennant seeking Giants and Cardi- nals Saturday. The two rivals for the crown were all square, follow in the Cards' 4 to 0 triumph over Cincinnati Friday, and each had two games to play, St. Louis continuing against the Reds and the Giants facing the Dodgers after a two-day layoff that cost them the lead.

If either DIZZY DEAN DIZZY DEAN day. Paul Dean Called Cincinnati or Brooklyn could win one of the two games, it might decide the pennant race and the aroused Dodgers were out to do just that. Brooklyn fans, still peeved over Bill Terry's disparaging remarks about their club last Winter, were urging Casey Stengel and his man to belt the Giants right out of the race. The club had the idea about it with its best pitchers, Van Mungo and Ray Benge, ready for duty. Ry Parmelee, who has pulled the Giants out of several holes this season, was Terry's choice for Saturday's game with Fred Fitzsimmons hurling Sun- The St.

Louis program was the same as Friday's in the game which sliced off the last half game that separated them from first placeDean and more Dean. The elder of the famous pitching pair, "Dizzy," hurled Friday after only two days of rest and turned a seven-hit game for his twenty-ninth victory of the year and his sixth shutout. Friday Paul Dean was scheduled to go after his nineteenth triumph and then, if a Sunday victory is still needed, "Dizzy" is due to work again, regardless of what effect it may have upon his work in a possible play-off to decide the title or in the world series against Detroit. "Dizzy" couldn't have been better Friday. He spread the seven hits over as many innings, never let a runner get past second and rang up seven strikeouts.

The Cards opened against Bennie Frey in the third when Manager Frank Frisch doubled and scored on a three-bagger by Joe Medwick. They scored twice in the fourth on blows by Bill Delancey, Ernie Orsatti and Leo Durocher and added a final tally in the seventh when "Pepper" Martin beat out a hit and scored later on Medwick's single. Prospects for a pennant tie were increased by the St. Louis triumph. The race can't possibly be decided before the final game Sunday.

If the clubs finish in the first tie in league history it will take three games of a. special post-season ries to disclose the champion. The nearest thing to such an occasion the league has ever seen was in 1908 when the Giants had to play off a protested game with Chicago after the season ended. They lost that. The Cardinal-Red encounter was the only game on Friday's major league slate.

Time of game, 1:34. Brownies Defeat Hanceville Team In First Battle The Jones Valley Brownies ushered in their football season Friday afternoon by defeating a fast-stepping Hanceville eleven on the Jones Valley gridiron, 13 to 12. Coach Frank Lowry's team played a great game to beat the highly-touted Hancevill egridmen. the second quarter on a beautiful Hanceville started the scoring in forward pass. Jones Valley didn't score until the third period when Hanceville interfered with a pass receiver and Jones Valley was given the ball on the one-yard line.

Gann went over on a line buck, ed kick of goal was wide. was the Hanceville try, the 'attemptJones Valley kicked off to Baker on his own 15-yard line and he sidestepped his way to a touchdown to give Hanceville a 12-6 lead. In the fourth quarter Chappelle, of Jones Valley, threw a pass which bounced off the fingers of an intended receiver and fell into the arms of Garner Hamlet, speedy Brownie halfback, who ran for a touchdown. The extra point was made on a pass and this proved to be the margin of victory. Capt.

Freeman, of Hanceville. played a good game in the line and Baker was sparkling in the backfield. Joe Gann, the Brownie captain; Garner Hamlet, Howard Wellington and Thomas Chappell were standouts in the Jones Valley attack. THESE PLAYERS SEEM LIKELY TO START IN TIGER-PETREL CLASH Auburn Pos.

McKay Kicks Well Long boots by Bryce McKay on BY JERRY BRYAN Looking back over the of Friday night the Wolfpack of Loyola Saturday morning probably said that it was all a nightmare and 'twasn't so. They likely tolled off their first downs and noted with pride they numbered 19 but the sad part of the picture for them was unveiled as they counted off the Panther points, they also numbered 19.

And so it was that as smart a Birmingham-Southern eleven as ever played on Legion Field scored an amazing upset in a 19-2 triumph over the highly-rated New Orleans team and employed only five first down in accomplishing the feat. employed only that meagre number of first downs simply because when the Panthers struck they struck with dispatch and effectiveness and because they presented as staunch a line as Loyola hopes to run up against this season. No less than a half dozen times the Gold and Black forward wall turned to stone near its own goal line. Fleet Loyola backs, employing that tricky Warner style offensive, time and time again spun and whirled through Panther defense for first down when the ball was in play between the 30-yard lines but with confidence that bordered on effrontery the Hilltoppers took charge of the attack, either by land or air, once the Pack threatened to score. Some observers estimated the Panthers' time at handling the ball during the night would not exceed five minutes and that the remainder of the evening Loyola was trying to manipulate the pigskin over the goal line.

Certainly, the Panthers were on the defensive a great portion of the time and throughout the first quarter the Wolfpack seemed to be several occasions sent the Wolves deep into their own territory and gave the Panthers badly needed reprobably a his kicks more than once spite from their nerve-wracking work of trying to stave off scoring. Still, after that first touchdown the Cats appeared to grow stronger and stronger and handled all situations with complete mastery. McKay once booted the ball over the Loyola safety man's head 70 yards to the Maroon 12 and a second time the ball was killed on the Loyola 12 when McKay quick-kicked 58 yards. It was right after that quick kick, and a 53-yard return punt by Billy Roy, out of bounds, in the second quarter, that the Panthers struck first. The attack was truly a feline stroke.

Starting on their own 35 Ike Young thrust at tackle for six yards, as if to indicate that the travel would be by land. Then McKay eased back into firing position and received the ball, Loyola appeared to be caught entirely by surprise when he neither punted nor ran the ball, but threw it. Ernest Teel had slipped through right tackle and was running almost straight down the alley; ball the line of scrimmage he caught up with him 25 yards, past squirmed a few more yards before being downed on Loyola's 28. Lining up without a moment's delay Teel dropped back and received the snap and this time Lewis Haygood came across from left end and took the ball again in the alley about 10 yards behind the Wolves' line of scrimmage and made a fine run of for the remainder of the distance, doing some nifty side on the way. Big Herm Davis, reliable extra-point maker, had been called from the game earlier in the quarter for a rest and the midget back, George Courson, was try to convert, but the low.

For the remainder of the first half the Wolves fought desperately to square up but to no avail. Starting the second half, the visitors again waged a torrid assault on the Hilltop defense. It was one of these desperate shots that set the stage for the second Panther touchdown. Young intercepted a pass 10 yards in his own territory and a moment later McKay punted. Tommy Daigle dropped the oval, and Falton LeCroy dropped onto it.

There was a general scramble, but officials ruled the Panther had possession when whistl blew. Panthers Strike" That was on Loyola's 24 cat-like stroke was again "brought into play by the Hilltoppers. Teel shot a first-down pass into the corner of the field right on the goal line. Big Herm Davis was legging down the field after the ball, but a Loyola back got between him and the oval. The Loyolan went up batted the ball, but unfortunately for him, it went into and Davis folded it in his arms as it came down right on the line and the touchdown was made.

Davis kicked the point. The Wolf pack then threw caution to the winds. Coach "Doc" Erskine had been substituting freely and he began trying to shift an effective -combination onto the field. They took to the air, and Young stepped in for the longest run of the game. He took a Loyola pass in the flat zone on his own 25 and legged it 75 yards for goal.

Davis missed that point. Just prior to this long run, Loyola was accorded a safety when McKay was forced to attempt to run the ball from behind his own goal line after a low pass from center had skidded back into the barred zone. Later in the game he was punting from near the end zone line and another low pass was scooped up and he ran ball out 18 yards. He fumbled when tackled but the run was a nifty play in an emergency. Soph Carter, subbing for Ray Wedgeworth, was having trouble with the slick ball.

Late in the game Loyola had first down once on the five-yard line and again on seven-yard line and in neither "instance made any headway whatsoever. The game. was well played insofar as penalties were concerned, few being administered. The Panthers take an off week- end and then play Mercer at Legion Field on Oct. 13.

LEE GALVESTON were a happy New group Orof baseball as they rode home Saturday, confident that they would wind up Dixie series in two games in the Crescent City or three at most. The New Orleans pitching continued good Friday night as the Southern league champions smothered the Galveston Buccaneers, 9 to 2. The victory was the Pels' second in the three games here, an impressive record considering that they were playing at night and away from home.

The Pirates had not given up hope, but they admitted that their task of capturing three out of four games in New Orleans was extremely difficult, particularly since Manager Gilbert, of the Pelicans, can call again on Clay Bryant and Denny Galehouse, who held the locals scoreless in 19 of the 21 innings they worked here. Galehouse was the winning pitcher Friday night. Johnson To Pitch The Bucs were looking to Harry Gumbert to lead comeback. Gumbert was the pitching star of the Texas League pennant playoff, but he has not yet hurled against New Orleans. He probably will match his ability with that of the veteran Fred Johnson Sunday, then will return to the mound the seventh game if the series goes that far.

The good right arm of Mr. Galehouse, which dealt such misery to San Antonio in the Dixie series last year and to Nashville in the Southern Association playoff this season, was the principal factor in the Pelicans' victory Friday night. Sure, it didn't account for the nine runs which New Orleans scored, but even if Galveston had had good pitching it probably would have been wasted. The big New Orleans fastball server permitted only three hits, one of them a scratch, until he had a nine-run lead. Lingon's double after two were down in the ninth drove in a pair of runs and ruined his shutout.

Orville Jorgens' wildness was largely responsible for his downfall and Jack Jakucki and Joe Gibbs, who succeeded him, were afflicted with the same malady, Gibbs to a lesser degree. Pels Use Passes Passes figured in all the New Orleans scoring and seven of the nine men who crossed the plate had reached first via the gift route. Jorgens filled the bases with none out in the second and one of the runners scored on an infield out. Singles by Hughes, Holman and Ward, with two walks interspersed, produced three more runs in the fifth, finished Jorgens and eliminated reasonable doubt as to the game's outcome. During the two-thirds of an inning that Jakucki worked, he allowed two runs.

Carson's singles in the sixth after two walks and a balk scored those tallies. Gibbs suffered a touch of wildness in the eighth, allowing two Pelicans to stroll, and Rose's single and Holman's triple accounted for three runs. Moses, English and Linton hit safely in the ninth when the locals saved themselves from the ignominy of a shutout. The score: NEW ORLEANS GALVESTON ab. r.

Because of its to triumph over the English in the Curtis Cup contests, the United States women's golfing team was receiving plaudits of golfdom Saturday. Held to a draw by the Britons in the opening doubles the American stars arose to the occasion and punched out triumphs in five of the six singles Friday. Thus they retained the cup they won two years ago at Wentworth, England. In the eight Anglo-American Walker Cup battles, Uncle Sam's men sharpshooters have been victorious every time, and in 1932 the girls won the first Curtis Cup affair, to Only Mrs.

Dean To Face Reds If Weather Permits Saturday ST. -Despite a downpour Friday night, followed by a slow, cold drizzle Saturday morning, preparations went forward for the third game of the series Saturday afternoon between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds.

Officials of the Cardinals said the game would be played "if at all possible." In the event it is impossible to play Saturday, the game will be played as part of a double-header Sunday. Manager Frankie Frisch, of the National League pennant chasing Cardinals, stuck by his plan to send Paul Dean to the mound against the last-place Reds, while big Paul Derringer, a former Cardinal, was pected to pitch for Cincinnati. Forecast Of Rain Adds To Woes Of Manager Terry under baseball law. NEW -A drizzling rain Saturday morning threatened to cause baseball game postponement here between of the Saturday's New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. harassed postponement would force the a doubleheader Sunday- -weather permitting -to get games as Cardinals.

St. Louis. tied with the Giants for the lead, is scheduled to play Cincinnati Saturday and again Sunday. And to add to Manager Bill Terry's woes, showers were predicted by the weather man for Saturday. Rain both Saturday and Sunday, the last day of the season, would leave New York with a final standing in the percentage table of .616 (93 victories and 58 defeats).

That would force the Cardinals to win both of their games with the Reads to capture the pennant, however, for if they got no better than an even break their final standing would be 94 victories and 59 defeats for a percentage of .614. If the weather clears and the Giants win Saturday, but are rained out Sunday, St. Louis also would have to win both its games to annex the flag. Although a playoff series will be held in event of a tie, no regularly scheduled, game can be played off tracts of land lying under sea level and the windmill was the only means they had then to keep the country dry. a Steam pumps have now replaced the ancient windmills with the result that the mill is fast disappearing and there are now believed to be no more than about 800 windmills in all Holland.

JUANA THE MAD Juana (1479-1555) was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, after whose death she succeeded to the kingdom of Castille and Aragon. She Columbus Grabs Opening Contest From TORONTO-(P)-Toronto rallied its baseball forces Saturday to repel invading Columbus Red Birds of the American Association, who opened the little series Friday night with a decisive and rather surprising 7-to-1 triumph over the Maple Leafs, International League playoff winners. A hard hitting team, the Leafs were handled roughly by Ed (Bear Tracks) Greer in the opening contest, getting only five hits, but they hoped to do better Saturday night in the second game of the best five-out-of-nine series. Bob Klinger, another righthander, was expected to follow Greer on the hill for the Red Birds with Ed Heusser as a possible starter. The veteran Fred (Sheriff) Blake was considered the probable hurling choice of Manager Ike Boone, of the Leafs, in preference to Gene Schott, who is suffering from a lame arm.

With the weather moderating, a crowd somewhat larger than Friday night's 6,750 was expected to turn out. Greer was in superb form for Friday night's opening effort to retain the minor league title the Red Birds won from Buffalo last year. He recorded 10 strikeouts and after the Leafs scored their only run he made Johnny Heving ground into a double play. Toronto's batsmen were hitting into the air all evening and the Red Birds had only one assist and two putouts at first. Don Brennan, portly Maple Leaf hurler, found a few strikeout tims himself but the eight whiffings merely punctuated the Columbus hitting.

The Birds made 13 blows and everyone but Greer got at least one hit. FIGHT RESULTS PHILADELPHIA--Joe Kaminsky, Wilkes-Barre, outpointed Billy Ketchell, 171, Mille, N. (10); Al Trainor, 159 Philadelphia, outpointed Henry Firpo, Louisville, Ky. (8). MINNEAPOLIS Larry Udell Aberdeen, S.

Jackson County In Tie With Bridgeport SCOTTSBORO, The Jackson County High football team opened the grid season for Scottsboro Friday by fighting a experienced Bridgeport eleven to a scoreless tie. The Wildcats made up in fight what they lacked in experience in playing the favored Bridgeport team on even terms. The Wildcats did not seriously threaten to score any period but the second, when they drove to the Bridgeport 30-yard line.

Bridgeport's main port came in the closing moments of play when they drove to the Wildcat five line only to be held for downs. In the second period, Barnes, stellar Bridgeport halfback, broke loose and ran for a touchdown from mid-field but the play was called back and Bridgeport penalized for holding. Bridgeport led in downs, 5 to 3. "Coach Newt Godfrey of the Bridge- RAMSAY DOWNS ANNISTON TEAM BY 19-6 MARGIN Blues Use Varied Attack To Score In Second And Last Quarters The Ramsay High football team, victor over West End last Saturday night, continued its winning ways Friday by handing the invading Anniston Bulldogs a 19-6 defeat at Legion Field. The Rams, using diversified attack, rang touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters and garnered a total of nine first downs.

Chink Lott's Bulldogs could gain only through the air and they used this method of attack to strike for their only touchdown late in the second quarter. They made six first downs. After a scoreless first period the Blues took advantage of a break to push across a marker early in the second. The Bulldogs stopped a threatening Ram march when Monroe intercepted Eager's aerial intended for Capt. Childress.

After an off-tackle smash had lost the cause some eight yards, Pennington dropped back to kick and in evading the rushing Tech forwards got off poor punt that was good for only 2a about 25 yards. After line plays had carried the ball to the Anniston one-yard line Gus Noojin split the center for a touchdown. Noojin place kicked the extra point. A fine passing attack put the Rams in scoring position again shortly after the kickoff and Hanesworth carried the ball across through left tackle for the second counter. The try for placement failed.

It was late in the second quarter before the Anniston attack could get under way, but then the team seemed to click in unison. An aerial bombardment with Monroe on the tossing end and Seale on the receiving line carried the oval to the Ram four-yard line. From this point Monroe took the ball over left tackle for the lone counter. The third quarter was featured by a great Anniston rally in which they threatened the team again with their passing offensive. the critical moments, however, the Ramsay outfit tightened and held.

The last Ramsay marker came in the last quarter and line plays were the medium used by the Techsters for gaining the touchdown. Joe Eager made the counter.
