TVTKW .YORK. Sept- 27. Looks like the
ll Yanks and Giants now.
Ootham Is closer to a monopoly on the
world's series today than ever before,
though neither the men of McGraw nor
Huggtns have achieved a mathematical
' cinch on the pennants.
By taking three out of four from the
Indians In the "little world's series." the
Tanks increased their lead to more thu
- two full tames, and New Tork Is making
'. ready to celebrate the winning of Its
first American league championship.
HEED THREE TO CI5CH
Hoggins' team has five games to play.
Three victories out of five starts will
' clinch the pennant, for phould the In
dians win four games at Chicago, they
would still be half a game behind New
Tork.
The Giants are so firmly entrenched
" In the lead today, thanks to their victory
at St Louis, while the lowly Phils throt
tled the Pirates, that they need but one
'' more victory to be sure of a tie should
' Pittsburg win six straight games, and
' two victories to clinch the National
league flag.
1 This was an off day for the Giants,
who are on the road, hut It promised to
be a busy one for the Yankees, who are
scheduled ttf -play off a postponed same
with the scrappy St. Louis Browns.
In tackling the Browns, New Tork had
no easy- assignment. Urban Shocker,
cast-off of the Yanks, and now ranking
- as one of the greatest pitchers in the
American league, was ready to start
against the Tanks, and the records for
the 1921 season ehows that Urban has
been poison to the Men o' Hugglns all
x year.
BC8H IS HURDLE
There Is one other hurdle New York
must take before the schedule is played
out Joe Bush. Hugglns' team must
face the Red Sox at the Polo grounds
October 2, and in case they have failed
to clinch the pennant by that time, Bush
will loom up as quite an obstacle. How
ever, this game comes on the last day of
' the American league season in . New
York, and the Yankees are not worrying
much about It
Babe Ruth, with a fine new record of
61 home runs to his credit. Is the man of
the hour. His hitting won two of the
games from the Indians.
The prospect of seeing Ruth In the
world's series Is the mibject wherever the
fans gather. What Ruth will do against
the Giants Is a prospect that New York
fans are pondering over. Ruth's terrific
hitting In yesterday's game was the
brand that no pitcher could have with
stood. His two home runs took the heart
out jof the Indians. It appears that when
he paves the way the men behind him
cannot help hitting.
The Indians were Idle today. They are
headed for Chicago, where they have
four' games to play against the. White
Sox. They have not yet given up hope
of winning the pennant

First Grid Clash
George W. Rent, manager of the Che
mawa Indian School football team, has
written to Manager Harry Fischer of
the' Multnomah Amateur Athletic club
squad, accepting October 15 as the date
for the Chemawa-Multnomah contest
The match will be staged at Chemawa
and it makes the eighth game signed up
for the clubmen for the 1921 season.
Multnomah opens the campaign next
Saturday afternoon on Multnomah field
against Whitman college, the start being
scheduled for 2 .30 o'clock. The prelimi
nary affair between Camas (Wash.)
high and Columbia university will start
promptly at 1 :30 o'clock In order to be
completed within the hour time limit
The "Winged M" aggregation will
"work oat three times this week bi:ore
. calling It enough to put them In shape
for the Missionaries. Signal practice
will be the main thing tonight, Wednes
day and Thursday nights, each session
starting at 7 :30 o'clock. Manager Fisch
er Is scouring the city -for officials for
Saturday's game and unless he finds two
or three today he will have to wait until
Coach Borleske arrives with his Whit
' man squad before naming the trio.
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem.
TT hept Z7. -The Northwest confer
ence football season will be opened next
Saturday when the University of Oregon
team will meet Willamette's Bearcat
team on Sweetland field, Salem. "
The coming- fraeas Is causing unusual
concern because it will be Willamette's
first appearance of their new coach, Roy
Bonier. If the Methodists can get past
the Lemon-Yellow squad with a good
showing it is thought that the chances
with the other conference teams will be
very good. Coach Bohler is not making
any great promises but says that his
men will enter the game In as nearly
perfect condition as the time In which
he has had to train his huskies will per
mit
The loss of the four graduating letter
men is being keenly felt as it took sev
eral days to pick the most prospective
looking men to fill their shoes. A rook
by the name of Granberg, from Mount
Vernon, Wash., looks to be a coming
renter and will prbably see action
some of the season's games. Isham and
Edwards, both former high school stars,
are showing good in the backfield and
are going to give someone a close run for
the berth.
Owing to the fact that the coming
game is to be played on the last day of
the state fair and also to the fact that
so many former students and friends of
the two schools live within easy access
of Salem, 'new bleachers are being
erected to accommodate what Is expected
to be a record-breaking attendance for
any game heretofore played in Salem.

T-ETROIT, Mich.. Sept 27. By taking
J both games of the doubleheader
here yesterday, the White Motors of
Cleveland won the 1921 national amateur
baseball championship. The visitors won
the first match from the Risdon Cream
ery of Detroit 5 to 2, and came back
with a 7 to 5 victory In the second af
fair with the same aggregation. It
was the final match of the Class A
series.
La Grande, Sept 27. Farmers in the
Mount Glen farming district at the foot
of Mount Emily, are threatening to take
drastic action against deer hunters
whose carelessness is such that the lives
of the farmers and their families is in
danger.
So far the list of casualties does not
include any human beings but calves,
colts, a horse and a cow have fallen as
the result of guns in the hands of oer
sons incapable of using them. Some of
the shooting is being done from the
roads and wherever shooting is being
done now It Is being done in violation of
trespass signs.
The farms in this district lie at the
foot of the wooded side of Mount Emily
and deer have become tame and are not
afraid of the farmers whose lands run
up into the forests in many cases. As a
result the hunters who have not the en
durance to go back into the hills for deer
find that by trespassing on the farms
they get easy shots at deer, with the re
sult that sometimes a deer is hit and
sometimes the deer' turns out to be a
domestic animal.

and because it It aot definitely known
when he will return the commission
as decided to go ahead and arrange
the program for the season.
This year's finish promises to be one
of the closest In the history Vf the
league.
SEALS SEED SEKIES
Provided Los Angeles wins four out
of eight games scheduled with Portland,
the Seals will be forced to finish on the
long end of the score in three of the
seven games scheduled with Seattle.
If Los Angeles takes five out of the
eight games with the Beavers, it will
have the percentage of .569, which means
that the Seals will have to win four out
of the seven games from Seattle.
Sacramento's chances, considering that
the Solons are in-and-outers, are not
very bright The Oaks took the Solons
down the line last week, and unless Bill
Rodgers' club smothers the Tigers this
week, it will not have much of a chance
in the pennant race.
The Angels are not going to have an
easy time with the Beavers, as the
Mackmen pitchers are going pretty good
and the club has been biting hard dur
ing the past couple of weeks.
BEATERS HIT HAKD

27 times at bat last week, while Fisher
and Baker hit around the .BOO mark.
