AMERICAN PENNANT RACE STILL UNCERTAIN All Depends On What Hap pens Today To New York Yanks And St. Louis Browns. - NEW YORK, Sept. 30. The mathe matical uncertainty in the American League pennant race remained today with but two games left on the sched- . . , f the contenders. New York aud St. Louis. , -Inability of tlie Yanks for the second straight day to hit the offerings of a farmer team mate this time Jack Quiun, cost them another reverse yester day at tho bauds of the Red Sox, 1 to 0, and a chance to clinch the championship. The Browns meanwhile clung to the pos sibility that they may tie the leaders and thus necessitate a play-off series by defeating the Chicago White' Box, ,3 to 2. '' One victory for the Yankees ona de feat for the" Browns, will settle the race. In order to obtain a tic, the Browns must win today aud tomorrow from tho White Cox, while- the Ynnkees lose to Boston today aud to Washington tomor row. Although favored by all odds to emergo the victor, the Yankees have caused something bordering on appre- ( hension among their followers by a sud-1 den slump in hitting, with the pennant goal in sight. In the last three games one with Cleveland and two with Boston the team ha's. scored but one run and collected 14 hits off ,, George Ulde, Rip Collins and Quinn. All three defeats were chalked up against the club's twirl ing aces, tSlmwkcy and Bush. The for mer held Cleveland to three runs and Boston to one tally yesterday, but was blanked both times while Bush lost a 3-1 verdict Thursday. Giant followers, meanwhile. Were con cerned over reports that Frank Frisch and. Pave Bancroft, infield bulwarks, sustained sprained ankles in nn exhibi tion game in Baltimore.

HARRY POULIN IS NOT GUILTY IS COURT VERDICT Charged By Mrs.' Augusta Tiernan With Being Father , Of Her Third Child Judge" Ducorhh Expresses Re gret At Publicity Given The Case Not Guilty" In Strict Sense Of The Word. SOUTH BEND, IND., Sept. 30. Harry Poulin, local haber dasher, charged by Mrs. Augusta Tiernan with being the father of her third child, was v found not guilty in city court here today. Judge C. L. Ducomb made it plain in his comment that he found the defendant "not guilty" ! in the strict sense of the word. He said he believed there had been intimate relations between Mrs. . . Tiernan and Poulin. The fact, however, that Professor Tiernan had lived with his wife through out the entire affair " created the reasonable doubt that made it . legally compulsory to find' for the ' defendant. Prosecutor Floyd Jellison and Professor Tiernan announced after Judge Ducomo had rendered his opinion that the case would be ap pealed and .carried to the Supreme Court of the United States it nec essary. "The decision was a great surprise to me," declared Professor Tiernan. "It swept me completely off my feet " 1 Judge Ducomb at the begin ning of his ruling .said the case was very unusual and had been given a great deal of notoriety. "The testimony," he said, "has been of the most sensational char acter and has shoeked the morale of the court as well as the entire country and regret this incident of my life that it became my pain- ful duty and that I was compelled to give the time in the trial of such a degrading .nature. "There are two views by which to consider the case. One is of 'immorality, and the other is ''Harry Poulin the father of the unfortunate child?' The public is looking upon this case purely from an immoral standpoint and is en deavoring to place the blame either upon the mother or the defendant for the notoriety and shame that has befallen the families of these parties and our community. This court has but one duty to perform and that is to determine from the evidence and the law applied in the case whether Harry Poulin is the father of the child, irrespective of the immorality, or who is to blame for the conduct of the parties. It might be well to say at this . time that the court is of the opinion that the only real inno cent party to the case is the mysterious baby and who has been foremost in the mind of the court during the entire trial, but in the clamor and cries of the public the child has almost been forgotten." Judge Ducomb then at some length reviews the facts in the case and continued: "There are two undisputed facts in this case. First that there was a baby boy born on the 28th day of November, 1921. Second, that the relatrix, Augusta Tiernan, is the mother thereof. The remainder of the material facts are in direct conflict. The testimony is of such a nature that the court will not set out only that part that is neces sary to enable the court to explain how the final conclusion was reach ed under the conflicting testimony The cause of the relatrix or the state of Indiana, must either stand or ' fall on the testimony of the relatrix and it might be well for me to say at this time that court, in substance or in general, believes the the testimony of the relatrix relat ing all the facts and circumstances and the relations of the families incident thereto and surrounding this case her story in reference to the conduct between Harry Poulin and herself, is the most reasonable to believe, and no woman or witness could take the stand and nnfolw and portray to this court a story as told by Mrs. Tiernan, and be wholly ufibchevsbic."
