Smoke Rings Tough To Be Good By SAM RAGAN Some people can be heroes and get by with it. And like wise some teams can be picked as a favorite and live up to it. But as a usual thing a man that’s given a hero s halo and a team that gets the No. 1 rating goes into the game with at least one strike against them. That may not be the case with the Duke Blue Devils this year, but it’s pretty tough to be named the No. 1 team of the nation before the season opens and have all ot the other teams priming their sights for you._ And tnavs just wnai nas uap pened. A lot of gridiron experts have rated Duke close to the top and withheld comment on calling them for the lead-off position. But Professor Paul B. Williamson and his National Rating System has handed the Blue Devils the title of “No. 1 team of the nation’’ and with a neat little bow full from the waist. • Williamson’s system rates the team according to its relative strength in comparison with its scheduled opponents. Duke is just under perfect with 98.6 per cent. The other first ten t ams in that order, he rates as follows: Ohio State, Washington, Tulane, S.M.U., Princeton. Oregon State, Nebraska, Georgia Tech, and Cornell. North Carolina’s Tar Heels are rated 12th in the nation with 95.7 per cent. Other Southern confer ence teams get a rating as fol lows: William & Mary, 56th; Clem son, 57th; Wake Forest, 60th: Fur man, 69th; V.M.I.. 84th: V.P.I., 88th; N. C'. State, 91st; Richmond, 101; S. C.. 104; Davidson, 109; The Citadel, 139. Scat Backs Coach Gene McEver is boasting a quartet of scat-backs at David son and this one thing is keeping tears away from the Wildcats door. The lads who are being counted upon to play the role of “little poison” this fall are, Claude Hack ney, Granville Sharpe, Jay Bolin and Johnny Fredericks. Nady Cates in the Winston-Sa lem Journal has summed up the Cats chances as good over Rol lins. Sewannee, Hampden-Sydney, Centre and The Citadel. No chance with Duke and North Carolina but against N. C. State, V.M.I. and Furman may come their close’ UlitfS. Davidson plays The Citadel’s Light Brigade here November 30. This and That Bert Kite's Pirates wound up their season last night with an oyster roast and fish fry on the sound. . . . Raleigh’s football team will play Greensboro Friday night. . . .Apparently most high school games in the state will be noctur nal affairs this fall. . . . We much prefer the daytime game, however. ... At night one has to watch his cold feet so much he can’t see the game. . . . It's Cincinnati in the I World Series again, as if you hadn't guessed it all along. . . . This year, however, the Reds fell no lower than third place all sea son. ... At least, the New Han over Wildcats will have the army backing ’em up against Warsaw come Friday night. 4 RACE TRACK SOLD NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 18.—IJ&— Horsd racing in New Orleans, where it had been a sport more than a hundred years, died today with the sale of the fair grounds track for $450,000 to a realty group that will convert the property into a residential section. The sale, anticipated for months, was announced by Robert S. Eddy, Jr., general manager of the Louis iana Jockey club which owned the track. He said the fair grounds last year lost $104,000 on its 100 day season. 4 CARDS WIN OVER BROOKLYN, 14-7 Dodgers Mathematically Elim inated From Pennant Race With 17-Hit Attack BROKOLYN, Sept. 18.—UP)—The St. Louis Cardinals crushed the Dodgers 14 to 7 under a 17-hit bombardment today and mathema tically eliminated Brooklyn from the National league pennant when Cincinnati conquered the Phillies. Johnny Mize contributed four singles and batted in six rims as the Redbirds mauled four Dodger pitchers. Lon Warneke started for t he Cardinals, but lasted only three in nings during which he gave up five runs. Babe Phelps jolted him with a homer with the bases load ed in the first inning. Carl Doyle took charge in the fourth and got credit for tne victory, although he too pitched a home-run ball — to Dolph Camilli with one on in the eighth. Joe Orengo hit for the circuit in the fifth off Hugh Casey, who was charged with the loss. 4 ST.

CITADEL SCRIMMAGES CHARLESTON, a C., Sept. 18.— OP)—The Citadel Bulldogs indulged today in a rough, intra-squad scrim mage which was far from pleasing to the coaches. John Bolduc, sopho more back, showed up well, with his passing and running. Benn Suitt, 220-pound Spartanburg lad who had been assigned to an end position, looked good receiving Bolduc’s passes.

IS.—(J5)—Old Johnny Allen and Youthful Bob Feller threw a spell over the Wash ington Senators today. The Cleveland Indians thus swept a doubleheader and drove back into first place ahead of the Detroit Tigers. Allen allowed the Senators six hits in the first game as he bested South paw Kendall Chase for a 3 to 1 tri umph, and Feller, jerked from the dugout with only two days rest, gave up* only five bingles in the nightcap and beat Sid Hudson, 2 to 1, for his 26tli victory of the year. In the last part of the contest Feller looked as tired as a tavern juke box on Sunday morning, but weathered an eighth-inning threat by Washington to put his club a half game ahead of the Tigers, who broke even in their twin bill with the Ath letics. Oscar \ itt s Indians, wno nau dropped their previous two starts, gathered in the wigwam before to day's hostilities for a pep session which did the Tribe cause no harm. Chase, never happier than when he is slamming the whammie on Cleveland, had only himself to blame for dropping the opener. The In dians filled the bases with one out in the second inning on singles by Beau Bell and Frankie Pytlak and a walk to Ray Mack. At that point, Chase virtually donned an Indian uniform and before the frame was over he had walked in Cleveland’s three runs. The passes were drawn by Allen, Ben Chapman and Lou Boudreau be fore Hal Trosky ended the session with a high fly to center. It turned out those tallies were all Allen needed for his ninth win of the year. The only Washington run was scored in the fourth when speedy George Case beat out a bunt, went to third on Buddy Lewis’ single and scored as Gerald Walker ground ed into a twin killing via second and first base. Manager Oscar Vitt had intended to use Feller to open the crucial three-game series Friday, at Detroit, but changed his mind even though the 21-year-old speedballer had gone nine tough innings Sunday, when he hurled a two-hitter against Philadel The young Iowan farm boy re sponded nobly, keeping the Nats subdued until the eighth inning. With Cleveland leading, 2 to 0, Jim my Pofahl then singled to center and Rick Ferrell earned a walk. Hudson flied out but Case walked on four pitches. Feller was tiring, taking a long time between each pitch, but still had enough left. Pofahl scored on Lewis’ fly to Bell in right field, then Walker ground ed out to end the inning and the last Washington threat. The Indians won the game on Roy Weatherly's sixth inning homer into the right field stands, followed in the seventh by another run which was partly a gift. One man was out as Mack sent a deep fly to Walker. The outfielder misjudged it, finally got his glove on the ball, but it fell safely for a two bagger. Mack took third on Hemsley’s grounder and Feller drove in the run that won the game with a single to right.

The A’s, who shoved Cleveland down to second place yesterday exploded a nine-run rally in the final inning of the second game today to gain a 13 to 6 victory and a split with the Detroit Ti gers in a double header played before 12,757 fans. Coupled with Cleveland's double win over Washington, the night cap loss dropped Detroit a half game behind the Indians in the wild late September pennant scramble.

The Reds with 13 games left to play, now hold a 12-game lead over the second place Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost to the St. Lou is Cardinals. Cincinnati has won 93 games and lost 47. Brooklyn, with 10 games to play, has won 83 and lost 61. Southpaw Johnny Vander Meer, recently recalled from the Ameri can association, pitched and bat ted the Reds to victory although he did not hurl the final inning. First up in the 13th, Vander Meer slammed one of Hugh Mul cahy’s offerings to left for a two bagger. He went to third on Ed die Joost’s sacrifice, held third while Mike McCormick beat out a hit to short, then scored on Ival Goodman’s fly to deep left. Joe Beggs replaced Vander Meer for the Phils’ 13th and retired the tailenders in one, two, three or der. “I’m glad it’s all over, declared manager Bill McKechnie in the clubhouse after the game as his men slapped each other on the back and shouted in delight. “We now can go ahead and pre pare for the world series, some thing we were unable to do last year. We’ll take it easy for a day or two and then start getting ready.” It took until September 28. 3 days before the end of the season, for the Reds to clinch their 1939 flag by 3 1-2 games over the Car dinals. This year they went into the lead on July 7 and were never ousted.

SPOFFORD DEFEATS WERTHEIMER, 3-0 Fowler Bears Down To Hurl Spinners To Win With Three Run Rally In Ninth With “Blow-Gum” Fowler pitching a masterful game, the Spofford Spin ners stage a great comeback to blank the Wertheimer Bagmakers 3 to 0 for nine tense innings in a city soft ball championship affair at Robert Strange playgrounds. The fourth of this series will start tonight under the arcs at Robert Strange at S o’clock. The Bagmen have won two_ lost one Chunky "Blow-Gum,” mixing a fast one with a teasing slow toss, held the super-charged Bagmen to five hits. His mates pasted Phillips for nine blows, the money hit com ing after eight scoreless innings with a man on second because of an Pete Managuff To Tan?]e With Joe Marsh In Opening Bout At Legion Stadium ’ Jake Patterson, the burly Svr. acuse, N. Y., grappler, will" meet Sammy Manacher, the boy from the Bronx, in the feature bout 0f the American Legion's weekly mat card at Legion stadium toni’b In the semi-finals match pi Managuff. the bare-footed Coss-r wiU tangle with Joe Marsh a nl comer. ' The main bout will be a qn minute time limit, b<m two out of three falls affair, while the onere will be a 60-minute time linn* out of three falls match. Patterson lost a decision in h*, Bibber McCoy here last week bn* only after he had been dimuali fled by the referee for overmuch" ness. He specializes in the rough house tactics of the ring. On the other, hand, Manacher is the di rect opposite. He is fast and clever but is recognized as one of n,e cleanest fighting wrestlers in the profession today. Managuff, who has appeared on the local card once before, ahvavs provides the comedy interest in his matches. He always discards his shoes and sometimes dons a long robe while in the ring. Harry Kales, former boxer and wrestler himself, will referee the matches. Doors to the exhibit building at the stadium will open at 7 o'clock and the first match will get un- I der way at 8 o'clock. 2 MOORE STILL PITCHING BORGER. Tex.. — Wiley Moore, one-time Yankee ace, is pitching for Borger of the West Texas-New Mexico League. 4 error. Burney Covington, getting his first knock of the series, doubled the runner in. Daniel Hardie singled and both men scored standing on firs baseman Tom Bishop's costly mis. cue. Wertheimer filled the sacks in the third and sixth, but the Spinners tightened, notably "Lanky ' Horne with his sensational fielding in left, and the men died on bases. The Bagmen had wine runners left on and the Spinners eight. Facing a complete whitewashing for the three-out-of-five series for the city crown. Forest Cook's Spin ners, champs of both halves of the Commercial league, have come l ack from their slump and are very much in the running. Aside from the big league fielding of Horne, Billy Peiper turned in a neat catch behind third on Fowler's fly. "Snooks" Stephens and "Red' Bearden, both Spinners, were be game's hitters getting two for Mir each. The score by innings: Wertheimer __ 000 000 OOfi—n .- i Spofford _- 000 noo 003-3 ?
