A th letics and Cardinals Cinch Pennants in Respective Leagues SHlBE PARK SAGE I A's Could Lose Remaining Twelve Games Withou Changing Outcome . Cards Assured Bv Win By Gayl Talbot, ' (Associated Press Sports Writer.) ' Connl Ukok, the es-year-old sage of fibibe Perk, can spend the next two' weeks figuring out what pttohbr the fit. Louis Csrdln.Is will not ox peot bun to atArt agntnst them -ah first gam of tit world aeries. Any other worry the Philadelphia pilot might one harbored moved yesterday when hi Athletic sawed up then third straight Amer- loan league flag by overwhelming the Cleveland Indians, 14 to 8, while the Washington fienators were bowing to .St. Louis. S to 4. ' drove Wants More. If they wished, the world chant' plons could lose their remaining 13 games and, providing Washington won It last IS, still finish with a full game lead over the Senators. That, however, Is highly Improbable, Lefty Orove would like to wis an other game or two. . When Informed His A's had won for him hi ninth American league flag, Connie Mack admitted he was pleased, but failed to enthuse. It hu bsen too easy. Ever slnos May fi, when they launched a 17-game , winning streak that carried them to the top, It has been evident that nothing short of an Injunction could deprive them of the pennant. Cards Also In Clear, ; By coincidence, the Cardinals chose the same day to take a atrangle-hold on the National league bunting. De. featlng Philadelphia, to 0, while their closest rivals, the New York Olant. were held Idle by rain, Gabby Street's warriors assured themselves at least a tie for the top. If they 1 lose their remaining games and the oianta oaptura all theirs, each will finish with 99 victories and 80 de feats. Washington, Isadlng 4 to 1 through the seventh Inning, threatened to carry the fight ovir another day, but the Browns rallied to tie the count In the eighth and then nicked Lloyd Brown for tha winning run In the ninth. There went Waltr Johnson's hopes of an American league flag. Yanks Take Fourth. ' Tha New York ankees, still soran ping for second place, made it four straight from tha Detroit Ttgera, o to a. Tom Oliver's single In the tenth Inning with two out and the bases loaded, drove Danny MaoFayden In with tha run that gave tha Boston Red Sox a S to 3 wis over Chicago, their second In a row.

Washing ton Journalist, who originated the stunt. By Alan Gould, (Associated Press Sports Editor.). No. 3 Off the Monument, Probably no single novelty stunt connected with baseball ever caught the popular fancy or attracted such widespread notice as Gabby Street's catch of a ball tossed from the top of the Washington monument, 565 feet high, August 21, 1008. During the war. Sergeant Street of the Chemical. Warfare Service, A. E. P., discovered - It - had made hlra world-famous. He was on a fur lough In North Africa when .he was Introduced to a university professor, who at once recalled Street's feat. Why,' said Gabby, "that prof, not only told me how well he remember ed It but he bowled me over with the figures on the ball traveling at the rate of 300 feet per second, when I caught it, and weighing 50 foot pounds or something like that. Per sonally, I never figured It out," Street, in various stories, has been credited with suggesting the stunt, but he says the Idea originated with Preston Gibson, Washington Journal ist and playwright, a wearer of the Croix de Guerre and reputed descend ant of Patrick Henry. Gibson was an ardent baseball rooter and suggested Street try the feat after wagering with skeptical frlenda that It could be done by the star young backstop. Gabby waa willing, the arrange DUCKS TAKE FIRST BATTLE OF SERIES N OVERTIME PLAY (By the Associated Press) San Francisco started out after the first place Loa Angeles Angels last night by shutting them out 3-0.

Tune In at 6:30 Monday Nite, over KMED STREET &he Cards ments were made and Gibson with 13 baseballs, went to the top of the monument to do the tossing per sonally. As Gabby tells It: "Gibson at first tried rolling the balls out on a trough to give them a good start away from the monu ment, which as you know, la much broader , at the base than the top. "The first few, however, hit the side and bounced off. I dldnt get even close to one or two others. Then we changed sides, to get the benefit of the wind. I only tried four times altogether to make the catch. As luck would have It, I snagged the 13th and last ball." Others, Including Street's rival,! Billy Sullivan of the White Sox, du-1 plicated the stunt, but they got no more ballyhoo out of It than did the filers who followed Colonel Lind bergh's transatlantic trail. So far as Street was concerned, the ball he caught disappeared. This summer, 1931, he received a letter from a former neighbor in Newberry, Pa., a lady who had been rummag ing through her attic and came upon some souvenirs of the baseball days of Gabby. ' Among them was an old baseball, labelled and dated as the first one to be caught from the Washington monument. It waa the original, and Sergeant Street's young son now has this prized relic.

' Rider TO AS They're greasing up their guns and dusting their red hats and the first buck that shows his horns Sunday morning Is going to be venison. So say the hunters who will leave this city Saturday night for the hills to await opening of the deer season,- Some are going into eastern Oregon to bag mule deer, others the black tailed Columbian: and the white- tailed deer. Ammunition stores will be the popular gathering place of all for the remainder of this week. With sore feet they will cover hill sides, carpeted with pine needles, as suming the stealth and quiet of the Indian. They will breathe the air laden with fragrance of spruce and balsam, shoo yellow-jackets out of the syrup and eat fried potatoes and onions, seasoned with ashes, until the first buck ts brought Into camp. Then It's going to be fried venison and gravy for each and everyone from veteran hunter and "sour dough" to the latest addition to the hunt. '' In camps where hunting Is not Just a two-day affair, jerky racks will be erected and strips of meat prepared for a good long winter's chaw. And In some where "condi tions are favorable" the early tramp across the mountains may be preced ed by an eye opener. whether they sleep on "goose hair" beds or Just plain ground, hunt early or late, they'll be expected to return to Medford with autos well decorated with horns. Among those who will leave Satur day night for the Lake View region are: Art Marsh, Jim Peyton, Paul Amort, Arnold Bohnert, Chester Hub bard, E. L. Ernst and Elmer Ross. Don Newbury has announced that , he la going hunting but he hasn't announced his destination as yet. -J SONNENBERG DEFEATS KARASICK IN HAWAII HONOLULU, Sept. 16.
