K Big League Leaders Face Hot Race By Contenders New York, Sept. 7 (U.fl The major league pennant races were at the "if" stage today and the burden of proof rested squarely upon the contending teams, with the leading Tigers and Cubs now able to take advantage of time, which rapidly is running out. The tougher job belongs to the Tigers Their lead in the Ameri can league has been reduced to a game and a half because they split a double header at New York yesterday while the second place Senators took two from the Browns at Washington. Cub Task Simpler The task of the Cubs is much . simpler. Now five full games in f front they could drop below the .500 mark, winning 12 and los ing 13 of their remaining games and the Cardinals would have to take 16 and lose 6even of their remaining games to tie, a pace which they haven't managed to hit this season. Washington provided evidence it isn't to be counted out and at the same time delt a mid-riff blow to Brownie hopes by beat ing last year's champions, 2 to 0 and 3 to 2. Detroit salvaged a 5 to 2 vic tory on the three-hit pitching of Les Mueller after wildness and Yankee homers, two by Aaron Robinson, and one each by Bud Metheny and Charley Keller gave New York a 14 to 9 opening win. Detroit pitchers gave 15 walks and hit two batters in the first game to nullify some power hitting by Tiger batters. Cleveland Fades Cleveland all but faded out of the picture at Boston, losing 9 to X 3 as the Red Sox made 15 hits off three Indian pitchers to give Georee Woods an easy win. The White Sox and Athletics split, Philadelphia winning 6 to 5 then losing 2 to 1. George Kell's ninth inning single gave Joe Berry the first game victory, scoring Bobby Estalella with two out. Orval Grove then won his 13th game. Bill Nicholson, apparently emerging from a long slump, hit a two run homer to spark Hank Borowy to his seventh Cub vic tory 6 to 1 over the Giants at Chicago. The Cubs made V2 hits off Bill Voiselle and Ace Adams. Boston Whips Barrett Boston teed off on ex-team mate Charley Barrett for a six run inning and a 9 to 1 victory over the Cards at St. Louis, after Do your drinks get as flAT as this? use this "Pin-Point Carbonation" keeps drinks parkling with life, totho last ip.

Sept. 7 (U.P Yearly elections to assure a steady entry of qualified stars into baseball's hall of fame were provided in a rules revision an nounced by the permanent com mittee for the diamond shrine at Cooperstown. N. Y. Prompted by failure of the Baseball Writers' Association of America to elect any players to the hall of fame last January, the committee also narrowed down the number of players on whom members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America will ballot. Previously, elections were held every three years and the field was unlimited provided the players met the qualifica tions for elections. The first step under the new procedure will be the circulation of nominating ballots on which the writers may name 10 candi dates. When the nominating bal lots are tabulated, the 20 can didates receiving the most votes will be placed on the final ballot. The writers then will vote for their choice of five names out of the 20 and one or more receiving a 75 p?r cent vote will be elected to the Cooperstown shrine. The 75 per cent vote also was a stipu lation of the old rules. As previously, the candidates will be chosen from the ranks of those players active since 1900 and shall have completed their active careers at least one year prior to election.

Trout can be caught just about any place along the stream with the upper river providing excelling steel head fishing. Most of the fish have been taken on spinners but sizeable catches on single eggs have been reported. A big salmon run Is expected most any day in Klamath river and several locrl anglers are preparing for such a trip. Fine salmon fishing can now be had at Crescent City by making a trip in a pleasure boat. Last Sunday seven angl ers who made the trip return ed with 43 large Chinook sal mon. There is no limit on ire or number of fish taken from the ocean. All smaller trout streams In the vicinity are just about done with fish being small and hard to get. Lake fishing is also at an end. For the angler who wants sport and also to catch some fish should take a light taper leader, size six or eight hook, and single eggs and fish just below where salmon are spawning. On just about every cast the fish will either get your egg or you will get the fish. Upper Rogue river is the spot for this method of ex citing fishing.

More than $50,000 maturity value in war bonds is being dangled as the lure for what five cities predict will be the biggest and best field on the links circuit. The $15,000 Portland open last November woke up the northwest to what could be done In the golfing world. Robert Hudson, a wealthy shipper and packer, alone promoted the first annual Portland show, which drew cheers from a record field and disheartening deluges of rain. National Open Eyed Now Hudson is not only put ting on another Portland tour ney, but is being assisted by Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver, B. C. The result is a northwest swing calculated to lure the top pros and amateurs to the west coast and it is no secret a determined bid is beiiv made to get the national open for Portland next year. Hudson's checkbook Isn't the only feature of the Portland open. Veterans of the game popped their eyes when the no vice promoter did such unpre cedented things as donate meals to the players, pay the caddy fees, haul them free to the course each day, built grand stands at vantage points so spec tators and wounded veterans could see the play comfortably. And the prizes were the richest in the west, second- only to the AU-American in Chicago. New Innovations This vear's tournament on Sept. 27-30 will repeat those in novations and a few more cook ed no bv Hudson and his smart coterie of helpers. They've drop ped the women s play, but nave commitments from almost eery big name in active play In the men's division, from Byron r.ei son and Sammy Snead to n group of 50 select amateurs. H was Sneed who copped the $2,666 first prize money last year in a great finish. Spokane opens the circuit Sept. 20-23, followed y rori land: then Tacoma, Oct. 4-7, Seattle Oct. 11-14 and Vancuu vcr Oct. 18-21. The performers then hop to Virginia in a some what obvious haughty maneuver toward California, where some incidents last winter Irritated some of the players.
