That a larger nuinher of young voters, ninny of whom are barely within the IcbuI age limit, are registered this year than ever be fore, was an interesting observation made by .Mrs. .Meyer and her assis tants In contrast to the youtiK registrants, whoso names will ap pear for the first time on a ballot this year, was the unsteady signa ture of a 34 year old Central I'olut voter, who.se card was checked thin morning. A long line of applicants crowd ed the outer office of the county clerk's headquarters this moruiiiB and waited their turn trt register. Frequent discussfonH of party and the respective qualifications of candidates broke- out aiuoiiB ac quaintances and. friends la the group. A gray haired Itidy. who hail come in with her husband antl another male companion from an outlyhiB district, objected rather sharply to the number of questions hhc was required to answer. When II came to staling her party, hIio looked in embari'a.sMiuenl al her husband. "You're norma vote Independent. Vou don't have to pledge yournilf 1o either party," he mild severely. 'J'he woman looked back at Claudia Khun on the other side of the counter. "You're supposed to Mate either ene party or the other now. Itul Vvu may vote independently." said t 'laudla. The woman frowned a little, bit her lip. and finnily came close to the clerk's ear and whis pered. "Don't tell anybody," tdie said, "but I'm a Itepubllenn." IN SANTA CRUZ SANTA VliVA, Cab, Sept. 2.

It was a Ioiib, painful Journey, but the New York Yankees finally have slaggered to their sixth Amer ican league pennant in eight years and, bai'i'liiB an uuexpectetl upset in the National league, will face the St. Louis Cardinals in the world series. An 11 to d victory over Hie Jje Iroii Tigers yesterday clinched the IllliX pennant for the world's cham pions of 1!'7 and gave little Miller Juggins his first chance to breathe freely In mouths. I-iaselmll's Ioiib history reveals few such form reversals as char acterized the Yankees' play this se.-iKon. For more than two months .Miller's machine mowed down all opposition, and gained a 13', k name lead over the field. Hut beset by injuries, particu larly to Herb Pennock and Tony Lazzcri, the champions slowed down almost to a walk. Simul taneously, Connie .Mack applied the spurs to his Philadelphia Ath letics, -who responded with a spurt that finally carried tliein to the front by half a tame on .September Sill. The Yankees rallied thej forces for a final stand, crushed the A's thrice in a four-game Hories and returned to the lead, never again to surrender It. It was a gallant fight Connie Mack made for his frist pennant since 13 14, but his Athletics were not quite equal to the task. Fight ItiB to the last gasp, the A's wal loped the Chicago White Kox, 7 to li. but the' Yankee victory made It Impossible fr the .Mackmen to win, , even if I hey take their last two Barnes while the champions lose two. While the Yanks were takliiB their third pennant In a row, the St. Louis Cardinals virtually clinched Hie National league pennant at li o s t o n. where they heat tin? I '.raves, HI to 3. in Innings while the runners-up, John Me(!raw's New York fJlants. were submitting to a 7 to fi trouneliiB by the Chi ciibo Cubs. This left the Card inals leadiiiB by two Bailies, with only two more names to be played. The worst they ean get now is a tie, and one victory or a Hiant de feat will Blve them tin-.pennant without furl Iter ni'Bument. Hob Smith, the reformer Infield er, pitched magnificent ball for the Jtraves until the liiih when the Cardinals clouted him and his suc cessor, Kent ( ri-eenflehl. for seven runs and the game. The Cards Just barely escaped defeat, scoring one in the ninth to He the score. Smith's own wlldness, plus some extensive cracks In his support, finally swuii; the game to ' the leaders. A tired Larry Iteuton fulled John Met raw just when he most needed a victory. The Cubs poumh'i Lar ry for 10 hits and four runs in the eight Innings he worked, but really make I be Bame safe at tl xpeiise of ,ne Cenewleh. who was lashed for three runs hi Ihe ninth.

I'adclford had a decided advan iige in reach and height, and made full use of it, in warding I off the aggressiveness of his squat and sturdy foe. who kept boring ! in throughout the battle, without reaching the rangy local boxer ef I feetively. The little brown man forced I'adclford to crouch early ; In the fracas, after he had stopped i a number of healthy belts with his ; tummy. I'adelforil kept a long left tapping ihe .Morrison nose, w ho could not get Inside the guard for his favorite game in fighting. .Morrison won the sixth and sev enth rounds, and started to make the tenth a slum-bang affair, but was stopped by solid hooks to the jaw. The good-sized crowd liked the main event, which was the only bout of the evening that amounted to much. Kid Itlley of Mcdford knocked out Kid Marshall In the second round, by the use of some rugged neck holds and substantial slams. Kid Wagner of Med ford knocked out Kenneth Powell, Winner was too scientific, and ouiel a s s e d Powell. I-Ynnklo I turn ell of Portland, who has won his last 1 li fights. knocked out Kid O'Hrien, said to In- his manager, after a series of fancy flourishings which caused the crowd to boo. Sailor Jack Wood knows the fbljt and wrestling game and is trying hard to secure boxers who are evenly matched, but admits he is having difficulty in doing so. Many local fans believe he would be more successful if he concen trated more on local boys, not giving them net-lips, but opponents of .their own calibre. Nothing will kill the boxing game quicker than putting on poorly mulched boxers. Moreover such matches are dan gerourt as a weaker and less skill nil opponent might No seriously hurt. Hoxers should not only bo matched according to weight and general physical make-up, but as far as possible they should be reasonably equal In boxing skill. What the fans want Is not to see some good man beat, up some dub, or some poor man without i) chance "lie down." They want to see hard fought contests between well matched buys, each one of whom has a chance. FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE IN GREAT COME-BACK Hy Alan .V. Could, Associated Press Sports Kditor. NFW YORK, Kept. (TP) A blue-eyed, chunky little French man whose fighting style Is as bristly us his hair ,is the new featherweight boxing champion of the world. This game little Invader. Andre Routts, won the title hist uiglu at Madison Noun rn Garden from Tony Cauzoneri, clever Italian, with one of the inoKt remarkable come-backs the ring lias witnessed in some time. Knocked down and badly batter ed In tho first rou ltd, apparently hopelessly lieu ten at the end of the seventh, Routis put on a stir ring finish to beat Canx.oueri in a senationad 1 ii - r o u n d sJugging j match. Remarkable end u ranee. rare righting eomwige and persist ence, plus an effective body at tack, enabled Ron lis to overcome a bad start, wear down the cham pion and gain the verdict. It was a close fight, decided on a - to I vote of the Judges aiM referee, but Ihe crowd of Il.tnni. as well as ringside experts, appeared sat isfied that the new champion had fairly won his new honors. The victory, a decided upset lo those who had Installed Cauzoneri a lo I favorite at the ringside, s-nds tin- title back to Fiance after a. five-year lapse and crowns the career of the ."-year-old lad who has fought his way to the top through sheer grit and determina tion. 4 Baseball Standings Pacific CiMist league, W.
