I POSSIBILITY TO IE Rainy Weather May Force American Clubs To Play Three Games In Day. New York, Sept. 6 (U.PJ De spite the efforts of American League President William Har ridge to avoid them, a little un timely September rainfall may make a triple header or two necessary to settle the impend ing "photo-finish" for the pen nant, it appeared today. With New York, St. Louis, Detroit and Boston likely to put on the most exciting stretch race in the history of the league, any games wiped off the scred ule because of the weather' could affect vitally the chances of the teams involved, unless they had the opportunity to play them, even at the rate of three in a day. At Chicago, Harridge said he had taken every possible pre caution to eliminate the neces sity for triple headers "because such a procedure wouldn't be fair to the teams involved." "Something else would be worked out if possible, if the ne cessity arose," he said. "Most of the clubs have enough sin gle dates on their last trips to take care of postponements. We haven't allowed any of the clubs lo schedule doubleheaders on their last trips as a guard against late season jams." No Rule Against There is no rule against triple headers in either league and with lighting facilities available at most of the parks it would be possible to work out a day-twi- TO A MAN WHO WANTS A BETTER JOB If a job means something more to you than just putting in time ... if who you work for is as important as what you do . . . then you are the man we'd like to talk to.

The National set a precedent for triple headers by settling third place with a three game set on the final day of the sea son in 1920 between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The Reds clinched third place by winning the first game 13 to 4, but since the triple attrac tion had been billed, the other games were played too, the Reds winning the second 7 to 3 and the Pirates the third, 6 to 0, with darkness holding that one to six innings. From Sept. 19 until the sea son ends, none of the four con tending American league teams has an open date and although few double headers are in volved, a stretch of rainy weath er might necessitate either a triple header or the playing of a game after the season official ly was over unless it was drop ped from the schedule. GOOPERTWALTERS NOTCH 20TH WINS New York, Sept. 60J.R) The National league, forced into the background recently by the ex- citement caused in the tight race for the American league pen-! nant, today had its first 20-game winning pitchers of the season in Mort Cooper of the circuit leading St. Louis Cardinals and Butx Walters of the Cincinnati Reds. Both men entered the charmed circle last night when their teams split a double-header, the Cards winning the first game on a six-hit effort by Cooper 4-0, and the Reds taking the night cap by the same score on Wal ters' six-hitter. In the only other major league game scheduled, the Detroit Ti gers tightened the American league pennant race by beating the Chicago White Sox 6-0 to draw within two games of the pace-setting New York Yankees and a game and a half of the second-place St. Louis Browns. WILLIAMOEADY FOR ANGOTT TIFF Philadelphia, Sept. 6-j(U.R) Former Lightweight Champion Sammy Angott of Washington Pa., and highly regarded con tender Ike Williams of Trenton N. J., were even money in the betting for . their 10-round re turn bout at Shibe Park tonight. Odds, which had favored Wil liams at 8-5, dropped following the fine showing made in clos ing workouts by the former champ. Williams was winner of the last meeting between the two on a split decision. He will be making his last fight for the duration as he expects to enter the armed services on Sept. 19.

Robleto carried the fight In the first five rounds with some hard punching, but tired in the last half. Robles closed in but was unable to overcome the point lead the Pasadena fighter had piled up. Robles carried a Vi-pound ad vantage at 115.

Major Grid Teams Schedule Many Intersectional Tilts By Carl Lindquist United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Sept. 6. (U.R) Football fans, who used to depend on the big intersectionBl games for the spice in their weekly gridiron menu, can bank on almost a full allotment this year de spite wartime travel difficulties, vealcd today. The major cross-country and intra-conference games, were ra tioned in 1943, but the schedule makers decided to restore a number of them this year, de spite the fact that it is going to take a lot of dreary mileage in day coaches to fulfill the com mitments. Most schools have arranged shorter trips and there are no games scheduled between east and west coast teams, but the trend definitely is toward com plete restoration of the games which used to provide most of the upsets and surprises. Moreover, numerous schools still have not completed their schedules and it is likely that there will be a number of late entries to the intersectional lay out if the war in Europe ends and if there is a consequent re laxation upon nationwide trans portation demands. Most of the matches are be tween mid-western and eastern teams with south and east and midwest and southwest being matched up in a number of pro mising contests. Nearly two dozen first class intersectional games are sched uled for eastern territory, with about 15 in the south, 12 in the midwest, two in the Rocky mountain area and only one on the west coast. Notre Dame, as usual, is the outstanding midwest team with the "wanderlust" although Mich igan State, which didn't play formal football last year, is back in with several outstanding cross-country contests. In the east, Army, Navy, Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania are going to have most of the intersectional business, while in the south, Duke, Rice, Tulane, and Tulsa are slated to do some wandering. A trend in the schedules is the billing of many big games in major neutral cities where the fans can go without excessive traveling. New York, Baltimore. Chicago, Philadelphia, and Cleveland will be the scene of several top-flight intersectional combats. Some of the outstanding games bring together old rivals which called off competition in 1942 and 1943 and who re arranged schedules hastily to meet this season. Albuquerque, N.

Portland, idle last night as! were the PCL s three other clubs, moved into a second place tie with the Seals. Southpaw Ray Prim of the Angeles was credited with his 16th win of the season, as Los Angeles collected 11 hits from four Hollywood moundsmen, starting with Cy Blanton, who was blamed for the loss. The stars, however, outhit the An gels, gaining 12 from Prim and George Cornelias, who went to the showers in the eighth. The lead in the wild and wool ly San Francisco-Oakland con test changed half a dozen times as the Seals made five errors to Oakland's three. Bill Werle was charged with the loss. T Laurel, Md., Sept. 6. U.R) Jockey Ben Bowers rode four winners for the second straight time at Laurel Park yesterday, hanging up an early lead in the meeting's riding race.
