BY FELIX A MCKNIGHT, Aisoctatsd Press Sport Writer, BEAUMONT, Tex, Oct. 3. Ancient Leo Moon, about the business pitching baseballs the past seventeen years, won the Dixie baseball pennant for his Atlanta Crackers today with a 7- to-0 decision over the handcuffed Beaumont Exporters, of the Texas league. -Unable to touch the southpaw slants of the old-timer, who pitched for Beaumont back in 1924, the Exporters contributed only three one-base blows. The Cracker.

Southern association champions, didnt drop a game in the series, winning four and tying yesterday's thriller in thirteen innings. While Moon was so ft balling the Exporters into a deep sleep, his diminutive shortstopping companion, Buster Chatham, was leading the assault cm Dizzy Trout, eccentric right-hander, apd Ed Selwmy with a pair of lengthy Some runs over the left-field palings iat accounted for three runs. Trodt, who-won twenty-three games over the regular season, was touched tor nine hits and six runs ln his eight-inning stretch. The Crackers didn't forget their first-inning scoring complex today, getting two on MaUhos walk and Chatham's first round-tripper. Right back they came ln the second to tally two more on Richards' single, Peters life on an error, Bolling's single and Mailhos towering fly Into left that permitted Peters to score.

The Crackers repeated the two-run dose ln the seventh, Bolling starting it with a life on Crouchers error. Mailho sacrificed him along and Chatham walked. Mauldin's single drove ln Bolling and Chatham came in on Oettinga blow. Chatham's second homer in the ninth wound up scoring. Rain-filled clouds hovered over the park all afternoon, but only a few drops fell.

But he was small, his school was small and all the boys were faced with the realization that they must give It a little more than the foe to earn the desired and pleasant recognition that comes in sweeter doses when the underdog wins.

Perhaps wildness Is the wrong word, ivjaybe it should be called his recognition of the need to do something unusual. Of course, the wing-back playing far out is nothing new.

When the procession through the irowd-llned downtown street reached fte city hall, players were led to an open platform to receive congratulation of Mayor Edward J. Each ol the Cub players was introduced, spoke to the crowd through microphones.

The Cubs, before motoring downtown to receive their official reception, met to decide upon the division of their world series spoils, and passed tip the man who managed them! through eighty -one games this year tnd through five and a half previous Masons Charley Grimm. Twenty-lire full shares were voted, and the twenty-sixth share was split three ttys. A purse of $4,090 was voted to be divided between nine rookie players and clubhouse attaches. With Hartnett following managerial Custom and remaining outside the Clubhouse, the twenty-one players who have been with the club all season argued in secret session for fifty-five minutes. Capt.

Billy Herman was In Charge A the meeting broke up Herman lead off the reward. "How about the ex-manager? he fa asked. It was voted on, he tactfully replied. Grimm Didn't Cuba Why no share was voted to Grimm it certain to become a subject of controversy, but those close to the players believe it was mainly due to the fact that he did not come down from his broadcasters booth in St. Louis Saturday to congratulate them when they ton the pennant.

Today, however, he lent a laudatory, message to Hartnett. It was read at Mayor Kelly's welcom- i Ing reception. Considerable argument must have preceded the voting, decided by simple majority, for the meeting was one of the longest of its kind. By their failure to vote Grimm a lhare the Cubs put themselves open to criticism, as In 1932, when they failed to give anything from the post-aeason pot of gold to Rogers Hornsby, fbo was succeeded as manager by Grimm in midseason. AtQ that time the Cubs also voted to give Mark Xoenig, who was a vital factor in the flag drive, a half-share.

The Yankees made capital of this, giving the Bruins a sound verbal lacing, calling them cheapskates and "chiselers from the dugout. Philip K. Wrigley. owner of the Cubs, was surprised at the decision of the players to exclude Grimm. "I believe it was a trifle short lighted on the part tff the boys," he Mid.

"However, it is strictly a question lor them to decide. Grimm has done ery well financially. The Cubs not only paid him for his time as manager, but also up to the end of the year." Lee Expected to Start With the cheers of the faithful still tinging in his ears, Hartnett retired to his plotting room to plan the strategy he wiH use against the Yankees the opening game of the series at Wrigley field Wednesday. He made Only one thing clear in advance he did not figure on starting Dizzy Dean to the first game. The fact he would twt use Dean indicated conclusively he would choose the National league's loo.

Bill Lee, who won twenty-two limes and virtually pitched the Cubs Into the championship. The Yankees ore expected to open with Lefty Goto "I dont want to be mysterious, Rirtnett exclaimed, but it wont be Di. Now you can do your own guess-tag until tomorrow. I'll announce my tarting pitcher then. Owner Wrigley would like to see Dizzy pitch at least one of the games to the series, and he will probably get his wish, since he laid 185,000 on the toe to acquire the great man.

Actually we bought Dean for this Wrigley said. "Everybody Uughed when I said that, but we Wanted a stop-gap pitcher. Dean hroved that when he stopped the Pi-totes, and he will be a great pitcher tor us in the years tor come. The Yankees come to town tomor-tow in their usual role of odds -on favorites to clout the Cubs into submis-n in five games or less. Both teams work out at Wrigley field, the Cubs in the morning and the Yanks to the afternoon.

Oct. 3 UP). Lou Nova strode into theJieavyweight picture tonight when he stopped Gunnar Barlund, the durable Finn, in 1:43 of the seventh round of their fifteen-rounder on a technical knockout. Barlunds left eye was so badly cut Referee Arthur Donovan refused to let him continue. The San Franciscan weighed 197, Barlund, 204.

The lanky youngster from the coast handed Barlund a bad beating in every round but the third, when the Helsinski (Finland) fighter floored him for a count of two with a short left hook to the mouth. Nova got up and in a moment had the 12,633 fans screaming with a two-fisted rally that put Barlund on the defensive. Nova had taken the first two rounds on a series of jolting left Jabs to the face. He won every round but the third on the Associated Press score card. When his crouching tactics failed in the sixth, Barlund came after the Californian at long range and landed his last good punch of the fight, a steaming left to the head that shook Nova.

The youngster rallied and continued to shoot long lefts and short rights at Barlunds eye. It was cruelly mangled by the' end of the round and, when it 1 started to bleed under the same scfrt of a barrage in the seventh. Donovan walked between them and open alleys oclock.

I-- AUBURN LOSES A STARGUARD Milton Howell Out for Year Meagher Expects to Give U.T. Stiff Fight AUBURN, Oct.

3 WV-Coach Jack Meagher, mindful nf pass' failures to bring a victory over Tulane, polished his backfield passing game today, and at the same time expressed deep regret the New Orleans encounter had robbed him of Milton Howell, whom he described as the ace guard" in the Southeastern conference. Howell suffered a severe collar bone injury and Dr. B. F. Thomas, team physician, said toefay he certainly would not play again this season Tind expressed some doubts of his ever being able to play football again.

George Kenmore, a terror against Tennessee and several other major foes ''last season, was lost in a preseason scrimmage as he twisted a knee, and Meagher has counted him out for the season. Meagher said he had hopes of replacing Kenmore, due to the spectacu-larperformance of Halfback Dick Mc-Gowen, but expressed doubt if Junie Bums, Garth Thorpe, Walter Chandler, Ernest Mills or Everette Smith could take Howells place as an outstanding guard. Meagher said his team showed considerable improvement against Tulane, but predicted its climb toward the top would be much slower with both Kenmore and Howell out. We will give Tennessee a stiff fight Saturday, but it remains to be seen how we are going to come through in the decided role of underdog, Meagher said. Despite bruises in the Tulane scoreless deadlock, Kelly, OGwynne and Mims were- standouts in today's aerial drill.

Saturday Georgia Techs Yellow Jackets learned their next Notre Dame, had turned loose a powerhouse and crushed a hapless Kansas Jay-hawk outfit, S3 to O. Today Coach Bill. Alexander announced Bertie Kelley, end, and Bulldog Cunningham, guard, have left school. Both were promising reserves something with which the Yellow Jackets are not overwhelmed. The Yellow Jackets appeared unconcerned today with news that Elmer Layden used eighty-odd Irish players last Saturday.

"Shucks." drawled one lanky Jacket squadsman to Coach William Alexander, they cant play hut eleven at a time." When McCallie and Notre Dame get together for their daily exercise Thursday night with the common objective of winning a football game, there will be presented an Interesting sidelight in the form of coaching personalities. It will be a rather Important hour of sweating that the boys will undergo. because prestige in the heated rivalry of the City Prep league will be dangling on the most touchdowns. And so the boys, drilled minutely in the art of attack and defense and fired to uncommon fervor by the simple but intense desire to be the winner, probably will play the best football they know how. But all the while, when on offense, they will be reflecting.

In some degree, the personalities of Bitsy Howard and P. Toughie Jones, the head coaches of the Blue Tornadoes and the Fighting Irish, respectively. Taking the Irish first because they will be the very slight favorites, having performed creditably through four games since Sept. 8, when they opened their season with a victory over Knoxville catholic, lets look at their attacking formulae and possibly get a group glifnpse of P. Toughie in action.

They Take Chance The Irish play desperately Jpard football because they are of a small school and are inevitably looked upon boys who must overcome some sort of odds to achieve victory. They show a flair for foolhardy chances sometimes, because they are equipped to some extent with the idea that taking chances is a necessary ingredient in their gridiron life. P. Toughie has brought them along that path since he took over his rather small flock late In August. P.

Toughie is endowed with -short suture and it always is the feeling of courageous undersized men that they must slug faster and more often than the other fellow or sink from the sting of his stringer blows. And P. Toughie has been over the same ground his charges are traversing today. He was a small boy in a small school -Notre Dame. True, during the later years of his TIME OUT! It looks bad, pal according to Iho was an eager winner in his playing days and he is an eager winner as TEN-PIN LEAGUE a coach.

Also, they will be giving that extra bit of effort because they have an affection for P. Toughie just as they had an affection for Uncle Willie Coughlan. P. Toughie has a sense of humor and that is one -4- waved Barlund to his corner. OPENS SLATE TONIGHT The Citv Ten-Pin league will its schedule at the Health Center toonisht.
