THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE amity . SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1948 hy Fi AGE FOURTEEN A . Tu | Big League | Yesterday By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer For the third time in .five years the American League pennant race von't be decidéd until the last day. Por the first time in history it may :nd in a three-way tie come Sun. lay. Cleveland holds the upper hand "ut the moment, leading New York ind Boston by one full game. Each of the three teams has two games eft--Cleveland against Detroit in Dleveland and the Yankees and Red Sox against each other in Bos- on, These are the possibilities, pro- riding rain doesn't interfere: 1. Cleveland can win the pennant »y whipping the Tigers twice, re- jardless of what happens in Bos- on, 2. Cleveland can win by splitting vith the Tigers, providing Boston ind New York split. . 8. Boston or New York can win the pennant if one team sweeps: the Boston series while Cleveland bses twice to Detroit. 4. Boston or New York can tie Pleveland if one team sweeps the Boston series while the Indians iplit with Detroit. 6. All three teams can finish in 4 tie, This could happen only if |g; Boston and New York split and pleveland loses twice. Since all regular-season games nust be completed by. tomorrow aight or go unplayed, rain could )ave a big hand in determining the winner. If Cleveland is unable to play any lurther games, it will win the pen- want regardless of the Boston ser- es. And if Cleveland loses two vhile the Boston series is entirely washed out, New York and Boston vill tie for the pennant with the CP indians one percentage point be. pind.

Boston and New York weren't icheduled. The Tigers struck for three runs n the ninth inning to gain the rerdict. Bob Lemon, trying for the jourth time to win his 21st game, let up his own downfall. Lemon fielded Eddie Mayo's slow ioller and hit Mayo in the back vith his throw. Mayo reached sec- md base. Lemon then struck out 'Johnny Berg and got two strikes mn Johnny Groth, but walked him. de also walked Joe Ginsberg on five pitches. Russ Christopher then took over from Lemon. He tried to keep the »all low to Johnny Lipon but Lipoo frew a walk, forcing in the tying run. Neil Berry bounced out but a fouble play failed.

By FRANK KAPLAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Oct. 2--(CP)--Where are the Canadian football players with the magic toes -- the clutch player who can boot a placement for the three points that often make the difference between a win and a loss? It appears field-goal kicking is becoming a lost art. Annis (Toronto Star) Stukus, an expert placement-kicker himself in his football days, deplores the cur- rent lack of field-goal specialists. "What's happened to the field- goal booters in the Big Four?" he asks. "Have they given up taking , the easiest points in football going for touchdowns, or is the league running out of placement kickers." Big Stuke looks to the teams in the Ontario Rugby Footbail Union to recover the "last art." " ,.. The ORF.U. is making it pay off with six in six games," he says, "Sarnia winning one tilt on two field goals and Toronto Beach- es Indians using one as insurance points against Windsor Rocke!s. Hamilton Tigers, who have counted 17 touchdowns in thre games, have taken time out to kick three field goals." | | | Old School Spirit Matt (Chatham Review) Dennis tosses a pretty bouquet at school athletics as he emphasizes the in- fluénce of school sport in preparing the youngsters for their days away from the sport field. "Playing square with the other tellow, with sportsmanlike attitudes, giving the other guy a break, are the lessons that cannot be gained from books or in the classroom," he writes. * "School sports play an important part in the life of every student and memories of the classroom are often intermingled with the foot- ball games and the track meets on the school program."

Tied for second place, one game behind Cleveland Indians who ad- mitted they were "in" last Monday but lost a chance to clinch a tie yesterday, the Red Sox and Yanks still have hopes. ES Both thie Sox and Yanks figure, with fingers crossed, that the Ti- gers will stop the Indians in one of their week-end games. They laughed when McCarthy said earlier in the week: --"It might go down to Sunday or .even Mon- day." Joe knew what he was talking about.| It can't be clinchied mathe. matically unti] Sunday. : Arrangements have been made for | all sorts of tle playoffs Monday or even Monday and Tuesday. A sure way to go mad is to figure out all the angles in this diszy setup. McCarthy has solid reason for using Kramer in this "big" game, for handsome Jack has silenced the Yanks with a 4-0 record this sea- son. He is the top regular starter in the league and he completely bamboozled the Yanks just a week ago. In that last start, his 17th vie- tory, New York was able to hit only three balls to 'the outfield all day. Manager Bucky Harris of the Yanks has to gamble again with Byme, a wild left-hander who came through in fine style to 'peat the Sox last Sunday, He pas won six in a row, two on relief, and owns a 1-0 record against the Red Sox. His season mark is 8.4. Sports. Of all Sorts DAVIS KO"S SOLOMON Fall River, Mass.--Teddy (Red Top) Davis, 134, Brooklyn, N.Y. knocked out Jackie Solomon, 138, Barberton, O, (6).

He died following an operation. » Sport Shorts From Britain By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Oct. 1 -- (CP) -- Some- times, it seems, a half-breed is bet- ter than a thoroughbred. At least, that's what British breeders are beginning to think. The '"half-breeds"--horses not el- igible for the General Stud Book-- '| are stealing England's richest races from the Blue bloods. 'The latest horse laugh came from Black Tar- quin, whose St. Leger triumph wrapped up a £15,268 Hel?) Drise for owner William Woodward, a New York banker. Black Tarquin was bred in the United States and is barred from the Stud Bock, Britain's official thoroughbred register. Any horse so barred is likely to be referred to in Britain as' a half-breed, even though horsemen in the tight little isle will tell you that the Stud Book isn't intended to reflect racing qual- ity. The Stud Book first went snooty in 1911. Then as now, British thor- oughbreds were confronted with a -lot of competition from foreign-bred horses. So -the late Lord Jersey drafted an amendment to one of the yolumes of the Stud Book. It declared that no horse or mare could be eligible for admission unless "it can be traced without flaw on both sires' and dams' sides of the pedi- gree to horses and mares already accepted in earlier volumes." So if your horse wasn't in the Stud Book--often referred to as the Debrett of « ed - racing-- the horse's progeny couldn't make it either. Only difficulty was it didn't stop the outlaw breeds from winning. Now that Black Tarquin's victory has really set the seal on things, the Jockey Club bosses are doing some heavy thinking. A committee has been appointed to. determine whether the Stud Book should be amended. One writer forecasts a "vast and early 'revolution in the international structure of racing." * * + Stumped: Australian cricketer Keith Miller has two hobbies--rac- ing and classical music. During a lull in a-cricket match he asked an umpire what he thought of Bach. "Can't say I've seen him," an- swered the umpire. "What county does he play for?" Does It With Mirrors: For 18 has had spinal trouble, He cannot stand up. But he is still a faithful fan of Bideford, Devon, rugby and football clubs. For each match, his wife wheels his stretcher info a specially-fitted automobile and drives him to the park. From his horizontal position, Prentice follows play with the aid of a mirror.
