THE CAPITAL JOT' R NAT,. SAt.T" ORFfW TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24, 1929 WASHINGTON STATE GRID HOPES ARE ON UPTURN PAGE EIGHT COUGAR COACH IS OPTIMISTIC OVER OUTLOOK Pullman, Wash. (U" Football hopes at Washington State college have been on the upturn for several days and following a full game of scrimmage between two sqauds Monday, Coach Babe Hollingberry expressed keen satisfaction. It was Hollingberry's climax to a strenuous week of practice for the first game of the season, against the College of Idaho Saturday. During the rest of the week, the team will engage In light practice. The game Monday between the crimson and gray elevens ended in a 6 to 6 tie. Hollingberry has not announced the line up he will use against Cornell's men yet and prob ably won't until Saturday. All eyes watched the tackle posi tions closely to determine the suc cessor of Dressel and Speidel, 1928 stars, who were lost through gradua tion. Qlen Edwards and George Hurley from last year's freshmen eleven showed well and Ahlskog, substitute last year, showed much Improvement." Indications were that the back field, would probably consist of Schwartz at full; Melbourne at quarter; Leinhart and either Jones, Schroeder or Elllngsen at half. Ar chie Buckley, another quarter, will probably be unable to play for a week or so because of Injury. The Cougars, in the light of early practice and Monday's game, seem well fortified with substitutes, and this fact coupled with the growing knowledge of the Hollingberry sys tem among the youngsters this is Babe's fourth year at Washington State were held nere to give the Staters a better break than they have been "figured" for.

' -VM " Cleveland IIP) A good part of the punch that has boosted Cleve land to a high position In the Am erican league has come from the bat of Lew Fonseca. And the former castoff has been fielding like first base had been his permanent home. The fact is u was sent to first because the In dians had no one else to play that bag. Lew Is crowding Jimmy Foxx for the league batting crown and, since the Athletics' slugger has been in a slump, he stands a good chance of owtlng him. CONDITION OF HUGCINS SAME New York (fl1) Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, who Is critically ill at St. Vincent's hospital, passed a comfortable night, hospital attaches announced Tues day morning.

BRITON TAKES DECISION OVER ' VIC CAMPOLO New York W The shuffling shitty figure of Phil Scott, British champion, Tuesday occupied the heavyweight contender's position that most of the experts had re served for the galloping -Gaucho from the Argentine, Victorio Mario Cam polo. Scott won the 10 round decision from Cam polo Monday night at Eb bettfi field and, as a result, must be reckoned with In the heavyweight derby, regardless of the outcome of the 15- round .eliminating match Thursday night between Jack Shar key and Tommy Loughran at the Yankee stadium. Scott's margin was so close that it took a 2 to 1 decision to give him the victory. He received the vote of the two Judges but Referee Ar thur Donovan cast his ballot . for Cam polo. It was a picturesque battle oi Giants, with Cam polo scaling 223 and Scott 215U. A crowd of 11,000 that paid $45,674 sa wthe two "lean ing towers" put up a brisk battle. COAST SEASON NEARS FINISH By the Associated Press Ban Francisco's Mission Reds and the Hollywood Stars were scheduled Tuesday to open a series at Recrea tion park which was generally re garded as the potential climax to the second half of the 1929 Pacific coast league campaign. With the KilUfer crew holding honors for the first half of the sear son and only one game behind the league leading Hollywood club In the second half of the race, there was every reason to regard the series as a crucial one. The San Francisco Seals and the Portland Ducks were tied for third place three games from the top. The series between the Reds and Stars should provide a week of much Intense baseball, with the pen nant as the prize, barring certain events. "Meanwhile, the Seals were scheduled to. open a series' In Los Angeles while Portland was to en tertain Oakland In the northern city. Seattle and Sacramento were slated to meet In the northern me tropolis. Two teams played a doubleheader Monday, Oakland winning the first 5 to 4 from Seattle In the north, and the second 3 to 2.

SENATORS SPURT WITH SEASON NEARLY OVER By The Associated Press For a large part of the current major league season, Washington provided one of the leading enig mas of the American league. Pick ed In the pre-season as a club to be feared and one which probably would finish well up In the stand ing, the Senators put their backers to shame early by starting badly. . At the traditional turning point of the season, July 4, the Senators had an average of .382. Ten days later, when they - completed the first half of the season, they had won but 30 of the 77 games for a mark of .390. Their upward climb did not start until the middle of August, too late to do much good, but since then they have been playing base ball of real championship calibre. Monday's victory over the Chicago White Sox set their record at 69 victories and 77 defeats for an average of .473. Since August 11, the start of the period" In which they have been winning more games than, they have lost, the Senators have piled up a record of 26 victories against 17 defeats. Their , average In this period was .605. Only one other game was on Monday's brief schedule. The St. Louis Cardinals opened their series at home against western oppon ents by batting out a 6 to 4 vic tory over the Cincinnati Reds. Trainer Dies Sam Hildreth, Turf New York, () Sam Hildreth, trainer for Harry F. Sinclair's Ran cosas stable, flied Tuesday morning in a Fifth Avenue hospital, He was 68 years of age. . . Hildreth had been 111 for nearly a year. -.- ; t ; ' Mrs. Hildreth and the trainer's physician. Dr. Benjamin T. Tilton, were at the bedside when the end came. "Uncle Sam" as the 68-year-old turf veteran was familary known about the track was connected with conditioning race horses of one kind or another since his childhood days. Zev probably was the best known horse ever developed by Hildreth. This star of six years ago won $272,008 to become the leading money winning horse of American turf. SALEM GRIDMEN TURN OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS If numbers mean anything, Salem high school should enjoy one of the best grid seasons in years, for more than 40 boys turned out Mon day afternoon lor suits in answer to the first call from Coach Hollis Huntington. Whether the quality of the players will be on a par with former red and black warriors remains to be seen, although the coach expressed himself as well pleased over the initial showing. Monday was devoted to getting the prospects outfitted. ' Several had to be turned away as there was equipment sufficient for but 35 boys. The work for the remainder of the week will consist principally of fun damentals and conditioning. Not all of the eligible veterans were on hand Monday, several hav ing signified their intention of coming out Wednesday. Those that did show up Included King and El gin, back field; Wright, tackle; Adams, end, and Drager, guard Charles and Bob Kelly, back field men, were among the missing. A tentative schedule has been worked out which calls for the opening game with Columbia uni versity high of Portland here Oc tober 12.
