A good blocking team Is tho thing that Coach Ira Woodie is hopeful of having this year, and already ho has his squad of 40 football players learn lng the art.

First Casualty The first casualty of the season occurred . Monday, when Joe Sulli van, candidate for an end position, broke a collarbone during blocking practice. He will be out of a suit for some time, as a result. Among the new candidates, Earl Peterson, at one time of MjcMlnn vlllc. looks very promising. He Is trying out for tackle and has 200 pounds of weight as one argument, not to mention a cortaln ability In the science and skill of football. Two or three others among tho new men have promise of developing Into first squad material. Practically all of the veterans aro In suits and with a good spring prac tice behind thorn, are swinging Infco fall work with a zest that Indicates rapid progress ahead.

Port land Is still the popular choice to cop the pennant, although its lead was ' cut to five games by weekend reverses. The Beavers play at home this ' week before title-hungry fanB and visiting legionnaires, with the San Francisco Seals as opposition. . The hottest fight In prospect is the bid of the skyrocketing Sacramento Senators for second place. They south for. a series with Hollywood, three games behind the Stars. In ad dition to contesting second place, either of theee teams has an outside chance of upsetting the leading Port land club. Los Angeles goes to Seattle for a week of night games, and Oakland and the Missions, in seventh and eighth place, respectively, play In San Francisco. Los Angeles is now in fourth position, one game, be hind Sacramento, and still In the race for higher honors, with the Seals only a game behind. 0. S. C.

Yanks Need One Win To Clinch League Pennant By Oayle Talbot ' (Associated Press Sports Writer) -The opposition willing, today prom ised to bring the end of the long, dusty trail Manager Joe McCarthy and his Yankees have trod on the way to Pennantvllle. A victory pver the Cleveland In dians today and tho Yanks are "in." . Or, falling that, the Ruppert rifles can lose and still sew up the Ameri can league flag, providing the Ath letics and Senators also are taken for a couple of falls. . Sure of Tie The Yanks assured themselves at least of a tie by yesterday's 12-in-nlng triumph over Cleveland, 8 to 3. They scored five times after two were out in the last inning. ; - . Washington scored its ninth con- secutlvo victory, defeating Chicago, 9 to 3, with Alvln Crowder pitching. Lefty Grove was in fine fettle and the Athletics thumped Detroit, 7 to 1. It was his 23rd victory. The Brooklyn Dodgers gave no aid and comfort to the Cubs' cause In the National league when they beat tho leaders, 4 to 3. The setback re duced Chicago's lead to five games over the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were trimming the Phillies, 4 to 2, In the league's only other engagement. A triple from the bat of Ben Chty- man ana a nome run Dy mil u.iCKey were the deciding blows In the 12 lnning Cleveland-Yankee game, Chap man's hit clearing loaded bases, and Dickey's round trip blow sending Ben home ahead of him for the five runs, that sank the Indians. If the Yankees do close the books today their manager will become the first man to pilot a pennant winner In each major league. His previous success was with the Chicago Cubs, whom ho now stands a good chance of meeting In the world series. Frederick Hits Homer t The Cubs' downfall may bo laid to Johnny Frederick, who retired from strenuous competition this year to sit on the bench and every now and then hit a home run when Manager Max Carey asked him to. It was the last half of the ninth. - Glenn Wright was on base, the Cubs were a run ahead, so he smacked one of 'Bur leigh Grimes' offerings against the right field screen to settle the argu ment. . Paul Wancr's home run In the first; Inning with his brother, Lloyd, oh base, helped the Pirates make A clean sweep of their three game series with j tho Phillies. I Sport Slants By Alan J. Clould '(Associated Press SporU Editor) The thoughts of tackling the New York Yankees again In the world's series does not seem to strike as much terror into the heart of an average National league partisan as you might imagine, remembering that the Yanks have taken their last eight worms series games in a row. Those sweeps, however, were reir- istered back in 1027-38 when Miller Hug gins directed his last and great est aggregation, when: players like Pen nock, Lazzerl, Ruth, Gehrig, Combs . and others were In their prime, fortified as well by a great aerense. ' - , The current Yankees have clinched the American league flag lmprerssive ly enough, shaking off the champion Athletics early In the campaign and having no special difficulty with any other outfit, but Joe McCarthy has not yet put together the finished product that Hugglns turned out. Mame joe, of course, has done ' a splendid Job in two years, with a record of being the only manager In tno big league history to pilot win ners In each of the two major cir cuits. Buff his -forces, with few ex ceptions, still are concentrated around the slugging prowess of Gehrig, Ruth, Combs and Lazzerl. Offensively as dangerous as ever, this quartet never theless has neither the speed nor de fensive skill It possessed five or six years ago. ' . , ' ' ' GOMEZ NEW 'PEN NOCK' In place of the aging Pen nock, Vernon Gomez has moved forward j as one of the best southpaws In the I game. Bill Dickey Is a great catch er, much more, useful In every .re spect than Bengough or Collins, the men behind the bat for the 1928 Yankees. Ruffing, Allen and Mac- Fayden replace Hoyt and Zachary, with Pipgras one of the few pitch ing survivors of the last champion ship combination. Chapman, Lary and the veteran , Joe Sewell have replaced Mcusel, I Koentg and Dugan, respectively, with the youthful Frank Crosettl In a position -to make -his- world's -series debut if needed for Infield duty. It is a coincidence that 'finds Koenlg a factor in the late surge of the Chicago Cubs, ' roady to op poso his old teammates in the bat tle for the ' big end ' of the series players' pool.
