Yankees Wallop Philadelphia
5-3 and Avert Connie
Mack's Threat
NEW YORK, Sept. ,11.t-(AP)
With 40,000 fervent ia-s roar
fur for the kill, the world chain-
Dion Yankee battered down the
Philadelphia Athletics 5 to J to-
day. and just about cuncned tne
American league title by pushing
.Connie Mack's straggling warriors
2 XL rimes behind them. It was
the Athletic's third straight defeat
In this super-cruciai series.'
The kill was put off until the
eighth inning. The Yankees
then tied the scored with none
out, and George Herman" Ruth
waddling to the plate, found his
home-run sal, Lou Gehrig, on sec
ond base. Connie 'Mack and Bob
Grove elected to fight it out with
the great bambino rather than
frank him to first base, and the
battle began.
The Babe, seising his chance,
strove to cross the opposition by
bunting the first one,but it was
foul on the third base line by a
shade. Mr. Ruth next took a
called ball, and then it, happened.
Yes, into his own ight-field
bleachers it rode for, home run
number 49, with all the earmarks
of a pennant fastened upon it.
More than 40,000 strangely par.
tisan New York throats bellowed
joyously and almost -as many pairs
of hands reached for straw1 hats
with which to shower a welcoma
upon the triumphal' procession of
Lou and the Babe. ,

proved, permitted to bat for him.
self with two out and a potential
run waiting upon third base.
Meusel blazed a eingleTthrough
Boley's legs, but Mr. Bolenski next
headed Lazzeri's hard smash and
forced the lanky one at second.
Gazella pounded, a double- to-center,
sending lazier! to ' third
whence he scored as Boley fielded
Paschal's hard drive and threw
him out. Johnson ended it with a
pop to Bishop. - .. -
The Yankee eighth was' opened
by a pass to Coombs, always a bad
sign for any pitcher. The colonel
reached second on Koenig's Infield
single and raced on to third when
Dykes followed with a wild throw
past Foxx. Grore then deftly in
serted a wild pitch; ' scoring
Coombs and sending Koenlg to
second. !s Gehrig followed' with a
single, and raced madly to second
as Simmons threw to Cochrane in
a vain bid to cut off the tieing run.
Now that the Yankees hare
been threatened. New Yorjc seems
to want them to win. The bent
form of Connie Mack, the old mas
ter, stood on the steps of the Ath
letic dug-out with a worried -wrinkle
upon hie brow as he peered
out at the bedlam and the triumph
of the enemy. He was visibly
shaken by the blast which shat
tered his dreams of baseball em.
pire. He then steadied himself
and deployed his troops for a final
assault upon young Henry John
son, arch-nemesis of the 1928
Mackmen. . ,
The ninth inning saw Ty Cobb,
Eddie Collins andWally French
stride up in turn, first line re
serves of the beaten Athletics. The
first two of these names, as names
alone, would hare been enough to
frighten the average young pitch,
er out of the box as recently as
two years ago, but sot Johnson
today. ..'. i
Game Put On Ice -
The young Florid ian got Ty on
a hoist to Koenig, Eddie on a
foul fly to the same gentleman of
the defense and French on a weak
pop to Meusel. The Yankees had
won, and led the worried Mack
men by two and one-half games.
AH that remains is that fourth
game of this now not-so-crucial
engagement tomorrow and the
final sally through the west fif
teen games for the Yanks in the
Occident and thirteen , for the
Macks. The trail is long to the
'end of the pennant rainbow and

COACH KEENE
"That's fine." said Coach
Spec" Keene of Willamette uni
versity when he returned Tuesday
night from a trip to Portland to
find that a soaking rain had fall
en on Sweetland field and put it
in perfect condition to run the
roller over it for the last -time.
The Beacat athletic director had,
in fact, been ju tiling over the
problem of wetting down the
field before rolling it, and now
will be saved the trouble.
If the rain contniues. It will be
a serious matter for the Willam
ette squad doubly so for the rea
son that those first days of prac
tice are so important and bo few.
If the rainfall is so heavy that the
gridiron is muddy Saturday, and
early next week., it will hamper
the Bearcats in preparing for the
University of Washington game
which comes at the end of the
sceond full week of practice.
Schedule Backward
'Willamette's schedule is Just
backward to what an ideal sched

games, with Washington and Ore

out the season.
A little work remains to be
done on the gridiron before every

Monday they arrived at Reno,
