(Ion Id (Associated Preas Sports Editor) The Philadelphia Athletics showed no disposition to use half-way meas ures In removing themselves this year from tho peiuuint picture and tho world series scramble. Not only did the club that finished something like 13 games In front last year skid so far as to wind up about a dozen ganu's behind the Yan kees this season, but Lofty Grove conceded tho year's pitching honors to younger rivals and Al Simmons, tho cole bra tod Polish slugger, yielded the batting crown ho luis worn for two straight years. . True. Jimmle Poxx moved up around tho top of the batting class and won tho home run honors by r. wide margin with tho best per formance of his career, but other wise tho Mack occs did not distin guish themselves. ;. . No pitcher who wins 35 games or more, as Grove did, can be con sidered "through", even though ten defeats show on his record. This Is short of the great southpaw's I tin 1 record of 31 victories against only four; defeats, but the A's ciiances of making It four pennants In a row would have been bright, indeed, lf George Earnslmw, Rube Walberg and Roy Muhaffey liad shown tho same effectiveness as Rob ert Moses Grove. Somewhere tho A's lost quite 'a bit of tho championship fire that burned so brightly for them through tho ltuu-:iu-;u campaigns. , . Earnshaw acted as though he mis still brooding this season over the html -luck dc fonts he sustained nt the hands of tho Cardinals. Sim mons and Cochrane- failed to deliver as otteu as usual at the plate. The combination of Uiomo factors, plus tho great early rush of the Yankees,, proved too much for Mr. Mpick's machine. It bogged down with too much weight for age. FINISHING FAST ' The return or Frank J. (Lefty) O'lXml to tho National league batting heights Is as conspicuous a feature of the ItKt'J bom1 bull season as the downfall of Simmons. O'Doul luut an unusually slow start, oven though ho seldom Is a "spring hitter."

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1 A For the first time In the history of the Insti tution, the University of California at Los Angeles today found Itself leading the Pacific Coast conference football standings. The Bruins Inaugurated conference play with a hard fought 0 to 0 vic tory over the University of Idaho In the Olympic stadium last night, Not until Oct. 15, when they play tho University of Oregon, can the Brutus bo forced out of their leadership. Displaying remarkable defensive strength, the Bruins kept the Van dals from getting within their 34-yard line. The Bruins were In position to score several times but Joo Keeble, a hard driving fullback, seem&d to be tho only player on tho field who could keop his feet. It was Keeble who crossed the Vandal line for the only score. Field Hllppcry Tho turfed field was made slippery by rain which kept the crowd down to about 10,000 persons. The game, however, was not a financial loss as tho Bruins collected .$5000 In rain Insurance. Tho Bruins got their scoro early In tho second quarter, a 20-yard pass from Mlko Frankovlch to Bill Max well putting them on Idaho's 23-yard line.. Keeble gained seven yards on tho first play thereafter, added two moro on tho next, and thon, tltrough a big hole over left tackle, crossed the goal lino standing up. he did they had better clear the track. Down tho stretch old man O'Doul 'a boy certainly hit up a terrific puce. Tliere Is no more determined bats man In baseball, nor a moro danger ous one than Lefty when he "feels" his hits. Ife takes excellent care of himself and carries a keen competi tive spirit. R, N EARING THE END OF HIS JOURNEY (Continued from Page Cmei states on the Atlantic seaboard and the middle west.
