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. Monday afternoon, tho

plenty of blocking and thero was
plenty of enthusiasm, too.

the sooner the blocking was mastered,
the sooner would come the scrim
maging. And things hopped along
from then on I
As it looks now, scrimmaging will
begin Prlday of thiB week. The squad
Is getting Into action each afternoon
about 3:30 o'clock.

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.

By the AMtoclated Press
; With three weeks of play remaining
before the curtain falls, races for sev
eral positions In the Coast league
standing are far from settled. 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.

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. "
