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-

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.

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.

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.

LEAD T0 10 TILTS
By United Pros
The Los Angeles Angels held
first place in the Pacific .Coast
league today by 10 games after
defeating the Hollywood Stars
10-7 last night, as San Francisco
virtually gave away an 8-X de
cision to Oakland.

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

George Cornelias, who went to
the showers in the eighth.
The lead in the wild and wool
