Indians Collapse
But May Yet Win
American Pennant
The Cleveland Indiani appear
to be living up to tneir reputa
tion . . . for several years they
have been designated by eastern
writers as club that "chokes
up" under pressure, and events
of late would seem to bear out
that unwelcome distinction . . .
right now Oscar Vitt's cry babies
are leading the American league
pack by a mere two games over
the raging Detroit Tigers and
the. fast coming New Yorkers,
tied for second, and if they kick
the pennant away nobody will
be very surprised ... in several
seasons past the Indians have
cracked when the flag heat be

Rainiers
CHAMPS RALLY INI
TO DEFEAT
3-2
Kewpie Barrett Pitches 23rd
Victory Beavers Drop
Two More to San Diego
By ihe Associated Press
The Seattle Rainiers sprin
kled moth balls on the Pacific
Coast league pennant today, and
laid it away in their hope chest
for another year.
Their hope to keep the pen-
ant in 1940, after winning it In
1939, blossomed into practical
reality last night In a two-run
ninth inning thriller when they
squeezed past Sacramento, 3
to 2.
The Rainiers were trailing
the Solons, 1 to 2, in the last
half of the ninth when Solon
hurler Norman Kleinke yielded
two singles and a walk to fill
the bases. Then Ed Kearse,
pinch hitting for moundsman
Dick Barrett, hefted a long fly
and the tying run was scored
after the catch. A single by
Joyner White and a centerfield
error paved the way for the
winning "run. The victory was
No. 23 this season for Barrett.
Angels Win
Southpaw Ray Prim held the
Hollywood Stars to six hits
while the Angels drubbed the
opposition, 10 to 2.
The San Diego Padres moved
into a third place tie with Oak
land with twin bill triumphs
over Portland's Beavers, 9 to
6 and 1 to 0. Bill Thomas pitch
ed the opening victory in which
the Padres scored four runs In
the first inning. Johnny Gill
got two round-trlppers for the
Beavers and Art Garibaldi one
for the San Diegans.
In the seven inning nightcap,
Jim Morris held the Beavers to
three safeties. The Padres' sole
and winning run came in the
sixth when Garibaldi tapped
Joe Gonzales for a double and
scored on Steve Mesner's single.
The Oakland-San Francisco
game was rained out, and the
teams will play a double header
tonight.

Indians in Another Council
Of War, Sans Manager Vitt
Detroit, Sept. 6. (P) The Cleveland Indians went on a
new war path uncharted by
pennant race developed into
Most players attended a hotel i
room session without the know
ledge of Manager Vitt last night
and laid new plans for today's
series finale with Detroit and
for the rest of the season.
They were a serious and de
termined-looking band after
losing their second game to the
Tigers, making four straight
losses. Both Detroit and New
York are within two games of
their first place.
The Indians were reluctant to
discuss their council of war,
which recalled previous such
sessions first to demand
that
Vitt be fired and later to agree
to forget everything but the
pennant.
Several players indicated this
session was attended by "all but
two or three regulars."
Asked how they expected to
carry out their plans without
co-operation of Vitt, one spokes
man said grimly, "If we have
to do it, we'll give the orders
ourselves."
Vitt himself had no comment
on the meeting, except to say:
"I'm still working for Mr. Brad
ley (Alva Bradley, president of
the Cleveland club) and will
continue to do so as long as the
arrangement is agreeable with
him."
New York, Sept. 6. Of)
Billy Conn and Bob Pastor, a

boxing ring, fight It out over
the 15-round route in Madison
Square Garden tonight to de
cide a future opponent for Joe
Louis, but when last heard from
Joe wasn't worrying too much
about it.
The best that can be said
about the chances of the Pitts
burgh pretty boy or the ex-col
legian from Manhattan, if tossed
in there with the Bomber, is
that tonight's fight should be a
good match to see.
For, while neither constitutes
any immediate threat to the
crown resting on Louis' head,
thev are two of the classiest
boxing men among the big fel

AUTO SALESMAN
BUYS USED CAR
Raleigh Miller, well known
Coast
If Ernla Piluso does what he
claims he will do namely, sock
the socks off Mike Nazarian in
the armory grapple ring next
Monday night he will automat
ically become probably the re
match champion of all the
muscle-manglers to have appear
ed here in the past several years.
Ernie is one of those fellows
who uses the old noodle at all
times. He drops match now
and then, as they all do, but
send him in there against the
same guy in return fracas and
99 times out of a 100 Ernie will
reverse the verdict. Why? Be
cause Ernie, in that first match,
has learned all there is to know
about his opponent's strength,
weakness and general methods
And learning these characteris
tics, he applies his knowledge to
means of developing a defense
and offense of his own that will
overcome those of his foe. And
he seldom fails.
Several weeks ago Nazarian
defeated Piluso. Last week Pilu
so went to Promoter Mack Lil
lard and strongly requested that
he be given the opportunity of
facing the Armenian mad-man
again. Nazarian agreed to the
rematch, so once more Ernie
will have a chance to prove he
seldom, if ever, drops two
straight to the same opponent.
In supporting contests, Whitey
Wahlberg, a Minnesota newcom
er, will face Jack Hagen, and
Steve Nenoff, alias Tiger Tas
koff, will go against George
Wagner. Nenoff is a tough guy,
so the initial squabble will pro
bably be a hair-raiser.
