Yankees Nearing Fourth Straight American Flag
New York—(U)(P)—Those "money smelling" Yankees are "in" for their fourth straight pennant unless they lose three straight games at Philadelphia, beginning tonight, the Indians win two straight at Detroit, and then defeat the Yankees in a playoff at Cleveland Monday.
That's "all" Cleveland has to do now, and it is doubtful if even their Hank Greenberg can bring them in, smooth-talking general manager despite the fact that on sunny occasions this year he has figured out how they can't miss. Right now, their chances for the flag are about as good as Pansy Yokum's for winning the Miss America beauty pageant.
The Yankees saw to that, or rather big Allie Reynolds did, yesterday when he personally escorted them to a tie-clinching 3 to 2 triumph at Boston and a series sweep of the vital three game set. They now have won six games in a row at Fenway park, a feat never accomplished by any of manager Casey Stengel's three previous pennant winners.
Reynolds was performing at his specialty, since he also won the tie-clinching game for the Yankees last year with a no-hitter against Boston. He did it with less of a flourish yesterday and utilized his bat as much as his long, strong right arm.
With the score tied at 2-all in the ninth, Irv Noren led on a walk and Gil McDougall sacrificed, Norem moving on to third on a fly. Disdainning a pinch-hitter for the money-minded Reynolds, Stengel let him bat for himself and he slashed a single to left to win the game. It gave him 20 victories in a single season for the first time in his luscious career against only eight defeats, but for a time it looked as if he wouldn't make it.
Cleveland, idle for two days, resumes action tomorrow against Detroit but it will do the Indians no good if the Yankees top the Athletics tonight with lefty Ed Lopat going against rugged right hander Harry Byrd, who pitched a one-hitter then Iost a 1 to 0 decision in his last two starts against the Yankees.
Brooklyn has won the National league pennant.
Lefty Hal Newhouser passed a great milestone when he won his 200th major league game for the Tigers, topping the Browns, 3 to 2, on six hits but only 569 fans, smallest crowd in Briggs stadium history was on hand to see him do it. He joined Bobby Feller of Cleveland and Bobo Newsom of Philadelphia as the other active major leaguers at the "200" level.

By BOB LONGSTAFF Kansan Sports Editor
Kansas is facing one of the strongest teams on its schedule toorrow when it meets Santa Clara in Memorial stadium tomorrow. And it is going to be a hard-fought contest throughout.
The Jayhawker coaching staff has high regard for the Broncos from California. Freshman Coach Hub Ulrich scouted the Stanford-Santa Clara game last Saturday and brought back the results.
There can be no let-down throughout the 60 minutes of playing time. The Jayhawkers must drive every minute—never dropping their guard once.
And Coach J. V. Sikes has told his team that. "We think Santa Clara is good enough to beat anybody. We'll have to play the best we can if we are to win." Coach Sikes said.
The injury situation is not going to help. It is very doubtful if Don Bracelin and Bob Hantla will start with the defensive platoon. Hantla got out of the hospital Thursday after having the flu and is still weak. Bracelin's knee injury may keep him from seeing much action.
Beat Santa Clara
The loss of Hantla and Bracelin will weaken the right side of the defensive platoon. Hantla plays right guard and Bracolin right end. —Beat Santa Clara—
Galen Fiss also is another doubtful starter. If Fiss starts the game it probably will, be with the defensive platoon at linebacker.
it probably will be with the defensive platoon at linebacker. With Fiss out of the offensive lineup, Frank Sabatini may take over as attacking fullback. Regular right halfback Bob Brandeberry also may spend some time lugging the leather from the fullback slot.
—Beat Santa Clara—

The cast was taken off end Jerry Bogue's right knee Thursday. Although he definitely is out for tomorrow's game, doctors hope he will be ready for the conference game against Colorado Oct. 14.

SADDLE THE BRONCOS
The Oklahoma-Colorado match Saturday should be an interesting one to watch. It should give a good indication of what to expect from both teams in Big Seven play. No doubt the Sooners will roll over the Buffaloes, but Colorado may be strong enough to stall off the Oklahomaans for a half at least.
Marciano Delights Fight Fans; May Give Lively Fistic Show
New York—(U.P.)—Boxing men and fight fans are delighted that Rocky Marciano has become heavyweight champion of the world because the new "million-dollar killer" should stimulate the sport and provide the lively entertainment for several years.
His regime ultimately may be compared with those of Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey and John L. Sullian. Right now there appears no one capable of threatening his crown.
No matter how long Marciano keeps the title, one thing is certain: he will draw big gates and he will command nearly unprecedented attention every time he steps into the ring. The public now realizes that the modest and amiable slugger, with 38 kayoes in 43 consecutive professional victories, is perhaps the most deadly one-punch knocker-out that ever ruled the heavy division.
Not only is this 184-pound assassin a terrific puncher; he is a persistent aggressor—none too keen on defense—who invites every opponent to exchange blows with him, so that he may ultimately land the "blockbuster." That's the type of fighter the fans love. He's an explosive gambler.
Because he has captivated the nation, Rocky will become an extremely wealthy man if he can hold the title two or three years. He will squander none of that money, for the 28-year-old son of a Brockton shoe-factory worker is a thrifty fellow. He will put much of it into a trust fund for himself, his wife, Barbara, and their expected baby. And he'll continue to be generous with
Odds-makers doubt that 38-year-old Waltcott can again attain the remarkable condition he displayed against Rocky.
It's true that the genial grenadier from Brockton, Mass., will defend in a return bout with ex-champion Jersey Joe Walcott in the winter, probably at Miami, Fla. However, sock speculators say that Rocky will be favored at 13-5 in the early betting and probably finish 3-1, despite the bruising battle Walcott provided at Philadelphia Tuesday night before he was knocked out in the 13th round and dethroned.
To Pasqualina and Pietro was born a son on Sept. 1, 1924, in the heart of Brockton's ward 2. He was baptized Rocco Francis Marchegiiano. He was their treasure for he was their first child. But the baby in that white frame house that boasted no hot water nearly died at the age of two from pneumonia.
his mother, Pasqualina, his father. Pietro, and his two brothers and three sisters.
Little Sport
The drawings for division positions in volleyball, and for the actual competition in the other sports will be made next week by Miss Ruth Hoover, director of women's intramurals. She said that immediately following the drawing, the names would be posted on the intramural board.
The other sports are also wide open for new champions. Ruth Heilbrunn, winner of the tennis singles, graduated in June, and Ernestine Dehlinger, badminton champion, also graduated. Betty van der Smissen, who received her law degree in the spring, was runner-up to Dehlinger. There was no competition in golf last year. The entries for these sports must also be turned in by Monday.

Women's Intramurals To Open Fall Season
The division winners in volleyball besides the Thetas and Cohops were Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma.
The women's intramural program will open the fall sports season on Oct. 6, with volleyball, tennis singles, badminton singles, and golf scheduled to be played.
The deadline for all entries in these sports is Monday, and entries should be turned in to the women's intramural office, 102 Robinson gym.
New teams this year will be a combination of Foster and Hodder.
A large number of teams will be entered in the competition in volleyball this season. Last year twenty-nine teams played for the Hill championship which was won by a very talented Kappa Alpha Theta squad. The runners up to the Thetas were the Cohops. This season should offer a wide open field for the crown. The Thetas lost Sue Neff, Sydney Ashton, and Barbara Quinn through graduation, and it would take some very talented women to rebuild the Theta squad to meet their caliber of play.
