Fearless Peter 2.00, the three-year old that was considered unbeatable, and won at least l4 races iii a row, had to take second place to tlie bay 0°19 W1'1111111 C8511 at Delaware, 0., Bflllt- 20. but he won the second heat and [forced the son of d Cash 1.581s t0 i1 new ivorlds record icr 1111139 11981-5. paced by three-year- olds over a half mile track.

It is interestlnlrto recall that Cold Cash, the sire of William-e Cash, paced to a world's record over a half-mile track as i1 two-year-old in 1920, time 2.051., and that re. cord still stands. He was driven on that occasion by W. T. Britenfield, who afterwards drove Cod cash {Q a world's record for a three-heat race, mile track. in 2.00, 1.581;, 1.581s. Mr. Britenfle d was the driver cf wim- am Cash when he did the same trick for tlirec-yrlir-olds over a half- mlle track—time 2.0313, 2.051;», 2.03.

The twelfth annual Indianapolis lpeed sale will be ii-d at Indian- opoiis, Indiana, November 11 to l5. It is expected that over 200 horses will be consigned to it, among them some very desirable colts and aged race horses. Prior to this war a great many CBDBGlBflS attended the Indianapolis sale and a lot of good horses found new llomes, partlcuar- ly in Quebec. There will be no Canadian buyers at any of the Am- erican sales this year on accountof the exchange situation.

‘Pruro ended up a very successful lesson with well attended and ex- citing races last Wednesday. The old reliable Tracey Hanover 2.03, owned by Richard Jablee, North Sydney, and driven by 0.lie Rud- derham. was the class of the free- for-allers, although Dudey Patch 2.001s, showed his heels to the bunch the first liclit, biit his mar-

Dusty Hanover 1.59, owned by Sullivan and Mawhuiney, Machais, Maine, and driven bv Vic Reming, holds the honor for the fastest heat paced in 1940. He also has the hon- or of pacing the fastest first heat in a race ever paced over a half- mile track. This was accomplished at Delaware, Ohio. Sept. 19. The previous world's record for a first heat in a race over a half tulle track was held by Billy Direct. worlds champion over a mile track—1.55- and a halt mile track—1.illi-.1i, both records made against time. Billy Direct had established the previous race record for a half-mic track-- 2.00% at Rutland, Vermont, inst year. He, too, was driven to this record and to his subsequent world's records by Vic Fleming.

(Ely JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer)

CLEVELAND, Sept. 2'l--(AP)—Rudy York, the pale-faced Indian, nullified the three-hit hurling of Bobby Feller today with one lofly homo run that clinched the American League pennant for Detroit Tigers.

The homer came with one on base in the fourili inning and beat Cleveland Indians 2-0 while l riotous crowd of 45.553, zl third of them women, demonstrated its hostility to the Tigers with frequent showers

of fruit, vegetables and eggs.

One fan dropped a basket of green tomatoes out of the upper dock of the grandstand and hit catcher Birdie Tebbetts on the head, knocking him out but not llllllflng him seriously. This in- cident came after Chief Umpire Bill Summers stopped the game to wrrn the crowd that every Cleveland player who hit a fl ball would be out if Detroit. flelders were interfered with hy the fruit throwing.

The game was late starting because of the crowd demon. strations and frequent Inter- ruptions caused it to drag on for two hours and 39 mlnulcs while a cold, gloomy dusk cu- vcloped Cleveland's huge cun- crete stadium.

It needn't have taken so long, for nothing counted after York's 33rd round-trip ticket of tho

season after Charley Gehringet had walked.

A short time later the big score- board in centrefield r-an up the 6-2 final score of New York Yank- ees’ batting at Philadelphia and everybody knew the Tigers were in as soon as they went through the rest of the motions.

23-year-old Rookie Does It

..'I'hey did it-wlth 23-year-old rookie Floyd Glebell, who isn't even eligible for the World Series, checking Cleveland every time the Indians threatened.

It was a surprise bit of strategy by which Manager Del Baker en- trusted i-he vital task of clinching the pennant to the right hander who spent all simimer with Buffalo

in the International League. win-‘

ning l5 games and losing 1'1.

He kept, six hits scatlercd, struck

out SiX——lflCiLlCiiTlg Ben Chapman three times-and gave only two walks. Four times the Indians got two runners on base in an inning and left them stranded as Uicbcll nnd his cohorts battened down the hatches.

A's End Yankee Dominance

The four-year dominance of New York Yankees over the league ended at Philadlpliia.

The World Champions lost the last, slim chance they had of guin- ing their fifth straight triumph when a one-time Yankee farm-hand Johnny Babich, limited them to five hits while his mates banged out a 6-2 triumph, in the last meeting of the two teams this your.

Fifth Win Over Yankees

‘Babich, who had conquered the Yankees four times previously this year, was superb today in snapping the Yankees‘ lalzst b.d for holiors and an eight-game winning streak.

The righthaiid slider ball special- ist is the only pitcher in the league h; beat the Yankees five times this year.

At Chicago, s. single by Luke Appling scored Joe Kuhel in the

10th inning to give White Sox a 4-3 victory over St. Louis Browns.

At Boston, Red Sox pounded three pitchers for 22 hits as they

Shetland Islands Geared For Fight

LERWICK, Shetland Islands, Sept 2'1.—iCP)— Britaliis pians to rep.1 any invader have been carried out even in the most remote arts of the country and the hetland Islands, like the mainland, are in a state of defence.

Most of the work was done by the Islanders themselves. These tree- less, low-lying islands. which are of such strategic importance, have marshalled their own resources most effectively.

The Shetlanders _have found that whale-oil drums. filled with sand, make first-class road blocks, and there is no lack of sand on the beaches to flll both the drums nnd the large number of sandbags which also play an important part in the local defences. '

Whole villages, including the chil- dren, turn out to dig sand and many people have sacrificed hours when they normally would be earli- ing their living to prepare defcnccs for their isiarid homes.
