By Joe Beichlee ' ma! YORK. Bent. 1b - (AP)- Ngw York Yankees clinched their 15m American league pennant tn-

“iithough six Yank flu winners o; the past won by 13 or more "mes, it is doubtful if any other New York winner, including the ms powerhouse which won by a yeeord of 10 1-2 lames. had an “gier time of it.

1n fact, the Yankees actually hacked into the flag, having play. ad little better than .500 ‘ball dur- 111g the last four weeks. Since Aug. 16. the Yankees have won 1d and lost i4 for a .583 percentage yet actually gained three games on Boston Red 59x and 1 l-2 on De- trait Tigers, their closest rivals.

1n winning their first champion- |hip since 1943. the Yankees kept their record alive of waiting no longer than four Yﬁats, between championships since they captured their first in 1921. They had a fOUT-YBHT‘ gap from 1M8 to '32 and from '32 to '30.

1t was the first flag won by a Yankee team not owned by the late col. Jacob Ruppcrt or his heirs, Larry MacPhail, the current president; Dan ‘roping and Del Webb purchased the club from the nuppert estate in the winter oi i944. It also marked the first. time since 1032 that a Yankee pen- nan‘. winner was not under the

irection of Joe McCarthy.‘ Mc-

arihy resigned as manager of the Yanks last year after copping nine pennants in 15 years.

In winning the flag in his first year at the helm Bucky Harris en- joys the unique distinction of be- ing the only manager ever to lead 1W0 pennant winners in his first year as manager. He directed Washington Senators to a flag as the “boy manager" of i924.

On June i5_ the Yanks wrested first place from the '!‘igers and swept for one aiay. June i9, we: never out of the lead. A brilllan winning streak of 10 straight from Jiine i9 to July l’! practically eld- ed the race then and there. By the time the Tigers finally halted the skein. he Yanks had zoomed to an ii-game lead and increased it as the season wore on.

St. Peters Square Series

(By The Canadian Press)

MARYSVTLLE, N. 3.. Sept. 14- saintJohn St. Peter's gave Marys- ville Royals a long look at the New Brunswick senior baseball championship Saturday afternoon and then in an eighth-inning up- nsing wiped out a 4-1 Marysville lead, took a 5-4 protested victory and returned home for a possible filth and deciding game at Saint John Wednesday.

with three Saint John base- runners moving on Walter Kyle's one-base punch into left field. a hesitation throw by Marysville‘s left ﬁelder Chubby white and a plate error by catcher Don John- son lost the game for Marysville and tied up the best-in-five series at two wins apiece.

The winning run was scored by Gerry Lynch. Marysville based its protest on a claim that St. Peter's players interfered with an attempt by Royals to put oui Lynch. »

Royals came up with a gilt edged performance. and with bli curt Moore crashing a three-rm home run in the fourth inniig went into a 4-1 lead which looled good enough for the title. Friyik (Lefty) Neill. 3-0 winning pitcler in the opening garne,~ was in are form, holding the Saint Jthn club to two hits in the first swen innings. .

The St. Peter's case looked pe- iess in the top of the eighth hen Doug Ross and Patter Harle the first two men up for saint ohn. flied out to the Marysville ittleld. Johnny Harvey then walks! to the plate and poled a singl into left field to start the big liy.

Sport Echoes A from . e Prince County

The strong right arm of “Joe" Bernard lifted the Summerside All- Stars into the driver's seat in the best three-out-of-five series for the Intermediate baseball championship of the Island last Sunday. The game which our boys won, a to 1', was one of the bitterest pitching duels seen in the Garden province in many moons. For the losers, Mc- Alm We» luberb. iiia pitching would have won nine out of ten ball games, but he had the mis. fortune to he up against the best pitcher to come out of the west in a decade, (I'd stretch that to a cen- tury. but there's always some old- timer who can trump your ace when he starts telling you about the baseball of the good old days.)

Bernard's wizardy was a bit too potent for the willow wielders in the Charlottetown line-up Sunday. Such renowned sluggers as Whit- lock and Trainer took terrific clouts at the ozone with their shil- alahs only to hear the resounding smack of the apple landing in Deighans glove. Well_ we didn't come here to talk for Joe, his pitch. ing prowess talks loud enough for itself. but we couldn't help adding our little wreaths of words to the monument 0i this boy's baseball glory.

It wasn't exactly a one-nan vic- gory at that. Bemard’: mates

But Bflwlﬁyb P68 Was dead centre and Deighan after tagging» Ward snap- ped a. quick throv to first which caught Ryan off the bag. 1t was smart baseball all the way and no

doubt helped to hearten Bernard for the task facing him.

Now the series stands 2 to 1 anzli down here is Summerside we're betting dollars to doughnuts the All-Stars will win the Island cham- pionship. d course they've got to be the kind our mothers used io make. Anyway. we're all one big happy baseball family here. and it has been rumored the sport de- partmeni of the Journal is running out of exclamation marks.

The story in the junior division ii a bit sadder though we still hope for a happy ending. The St. John. G. Y. 0., champions of New Bruns-I vick, set our boys down 9 to 4 in {he first game of the best two-out4 of-three series. 'I‘hey did it right lown here where in the glacie lays Prince dsdward Island almos; got pinched in two. so Charlie Ho» gants warriors are in a fairly tight pinch themselves just now. They've got to win two games in St. John to take the two-province crown, and‘ though there isn't any loyal fans her that will say right out. they can't do it. still it will take quite a bit of doing. _

Gay was slow in starting against the 8t. John team and the boys were down 6 to 1 at the end of two innings. For five consecutive frames after that Gay let the C. Y. O. aggrqation down without a hit. and they got only two more hits off him during the rest of the game. But the fat was already in the fire. Gay has a deceptive slow ball which looks as if you could bat it a country mile, but very often it manages to sneak by and land in the catchers mitt. Oppos- ing batters have plenty of trouble with this delivery and frankly it'l got us puzzled too. We can under- stand batters fanning the breeze when Bernard flings his right arm in the direction of the plate and all a batter sees is a blur, and all he hears is the echo. but Gay's slow one goes so leisurely by that you have almost time to swing

Louiis-Wolcott Bout

To Be

NEW YORK, Sept. ii! - (AP)- Joe Louis. who couldn't find a suit- able opponent for a title bout. a few weeks ago, changed his mind today_ and agreed to defend his world heavyweight championship for the 24th time against Jersey Joe Walcott of Camden, NJ, at Madison Square Garden Dec. S.

Originally scheduled to face Wal- cott in a iO-round non-title tilt in the same arena Nov. l4, Louis agreed to the suggestion made by the New York Athletic Commission chairman, Eddie Eagan, that the bout be lengthened to the 15- Mundrouto with th_e championship at stake. Louis asked more time to train, with the result that the scrap was set back three weeks.

B01 Strauss, acting director of the 20th Century Sporting Club, said that Dec. 5 was the first avail- able date at Madison Squareufvar- den which would allow Louis suf- ficient time to train.’

In requesting the change from a non-title bout, commissioner Eagan said a defeat for the champion would cause some controversy and that Waicott certainly would be recognized as champion if he should win by a knockout. _

Louis took the same attitude ‘iis co-manager. Marshal1 Miles, added.

New York State rules require that championship bouts must be sched- iiled for 15 rounds and while short- er non-title affairs are permitted, there is no provision for the possi- bllity that a heavyweight champ- ion might be beaten over the short- er route.
