better soldiers for active physi-
cal combat in war. Most people
like to encourage the Sweetwater
and Nolan youngsters, and the
game; but the dread hand of
war may affect attendance,
through its curb on the use of
rubber and side distribution of
news dispatches and broadcasts
from the front.
Tonight's attendance will be
a gauge on the support the Mus-
tangs, and football, can expect,
ft will be a good game,
with Mineral Weils out to
avenge last year's defeat,
and a brand new backfield
racing over the greensward
for Sweetwater. Xo pains
have been spared in plans
for the day to make this
opening game an auspicious
event.
Between halves Carl Ander-

Mustangs of the past and coach-

Lee Savold Wins
Over Tony Musto
DETROIT. Sept. 18 — (UP)—
Heavyweight Lee Savold from
Des Moines. Ia., pounded: out an
unpopular 10-round decision ov-
er Tony Musto of Chicago last
night before 4,500 fans at Oly-
mpia stadium.
Savold's • triumph avenged a
split decision which Musto won
over the Des Moines fighter in
Washington, D. C. a month ago.
That decision snapped Savold's
string of professional victories
at 15 straight.
Savold jalbbed constantly at
Musto's face during the opening
I rounds of a spiritless fight, to
i open a cut over his opponent's
j right eye. Musto became grog-
| gy in the sixth but 'held his

down of the fight. Musto took

Rv Jack Cuddy
(Keg. U. S. Pat. Off.)
I'l' Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Sept. 18—(UP)
—The success or failure of to-
morrow's match race between
Alsab and Whirlaway at Nar-
ragansett Park, R. I., may de-
pend upon the decisions of Jock-
ey Georgia Woolf as he guides
Whirly around the course.
The decisions of Woolf appar-
ently are all-important in this
test because it is perhaps the
most unusual meeting in match-
race history. The race brings
together two great horses who
like to run off the pace—who
like to come from behind and
eat up the good earth in t.he
stretch. They are the most re-
nowned stretch runners of their
day, and some experts consider
Whirlaway the greatest stretch
runner of all time.
Woolf "The Iceman" may elect
to send Whirlaway off in front
and set the pace, as he did in
the turf's last great match race,
when he shot Seabiscuit from
the barrier like a bullet and
maintained such a killing pace
in the early stages that he vir-
tually killed War Admiral in the
stretch. That contest, easily the
most thrilling of the century,
was staged at Pimlico, Md., on
Nov. 1, 1938.
Woolf amazed the racing
fraternity that day as Sea-
biscuit siet the pace and out-
ran the Admiral for three-
quarters of the distance. The
Admiral drew on even terms
around the final turn, but
shrewd Woolf—despite the
paqe — liad been holding
something in reserve, and
let the Biscuit out—let him
"moider" the opposition in
the stretch and finish a
four-length winner over the
very tilled admiral.
Seabiscuit set a track record
at Pimlico of 1:56 3-5 for the
mile and 3-16 that day—a rec-
ord that stil stands. But it isn't
likely that either Whirlaway or
Alsab will set any records to-
morrow at Narragansett, be-
cause both are expected to run
off the pace in the eai'ly going.
Most experts believe that the
winner will be clocked in three
or more seconds off the course
record, which might make for
a very drab race—except for the
stretch competition. However,
should Woolf decide to break
Whirly fast and set a hot pace,
it may be a different story.
Alsab will be ridden by Car-
roll Bierman, an improving
young jockey who was the lead-
ing rider at the recent Suffolk
Downs meeting. Bierman is ex-
pected to let Woolf make his
moves and then counter with
Alsab's speed in the stretch.
This match race—like most
competitions of its kind — re-
sulted from cancellations of
other meetings. On Labor Day
at Washington Park the two
were slated to meet, but Whirl-
away suffered an eye injury in
the east and Trainer Ben Jones
decided not to ship him west.
Then they were slated to meet
in the $25,000 Narragansett Spe-
cial Sept. 12, but Alsab was de-
layed in arriving from the Mid-
west. and Trainer Sarge Swenke
decided to withdraw him from
the special, which Whirlaway
won with comparative ease.
Whereupon President James
E. Dooley of the Narrangansett
racing association cooked up to-
morrow's match race and offer-
ed a purse of $25,000, winner
take all. He also pledged that
the track's proceeds of the mu-
tuels would go to army and navy
relief.
So now, it's up to Jockey
Woolf.

'Promised Land'
Only 7 Games
From Cardinals
NEW YORK, Sept. 18 —(UP)
—The promised land was only
seven games away for the St.
Louis Cardinals today but the
magic numeral also signalled
the end of the National lea-
gue pennant trail for the flock
from Flatbush.
Three full games separated
the leading Cardinals from the
runner-up Brooklyn Dodgers
and any combination of luck "7"
—St. Louis triumphs or Brook-
lyn defeats — would put the
senior league (bunting atop
Sportsman's park for the first
time since 1934 when the Red
Birds won the world champion-
ship from the Detroit Tigers.
Even if the Cardinals, who
now have won five in a row,
and 34 out of their last 40, were
only to break even LP. their
remaining eight games, the
Dodgers would have to win
eight of their last 10 contests
to gain a tie.
The Cardinals, with some
valuable help from the Pitts-
burgh (Pirates, poetically
buried the Dodgers' remain-
ing hopes yesterday by scor-
ing a ninth-inning, 6-4, tri-
umph over the Braves at
Boston while Brooklyn bow-
ed, ;t-2, to the Pittsburgh*
ers at Ebbets Field.
A1 Javery's effective pitching
checked the Cards for eight in-
nings but they rallied like true
champions for five runs in the
ninth to pull the game out of
the fire.
Rip Sewell held Brooklyn to
eight hits. He was in trouble
only once, in the fourth when
the Dodgers scored both their
runs. Pee Wee Reese knocked
in one run with a single and
Dixie Walker sent the other ov-
er with a double.
The Bucs scored all their
runs in the first two innings
off Ed Head tout Max Macon
stopped them with two hits the
rest of the way.
Babe Young and Johnny
Mize drove in all the runs as
the New York Giants tripped
the Cincinnati Reds. 11-1. Har-
ry Feldman pitched a five-hit-
ter to record his seventh win.
Rookie Henry Wyse, up from
Tulsa, pitched his second
straight win as the Chicago
Cubs topped the Philadelphia
Phils, 8-0. Wyse allowed eight
hits and was never in danger.
Atley Donald won his 10th
game as the New York Yankees
registered their 100th victory in
downing the Detroit Tigers, 7-
4. Donald allowed 10 hits, one

Beaumont Wins
First Play-Off
Game 7 To 6
B,v United Prews
The first game of the Texas
league playoff for 1942 is over
—and what a game.
Beaumont defeated Shreve-
port 7 to 6, and the cash cus-
tomers got their money's worth
in entertainment during the 2
hours and 40 minutes of play-
ing time.
Beaumont used four pitchers,
the Sports five. The Exporters
made I mlscue: Shreveport 7 —
that's right, seven.
At the opening of the ninth,
the Exporters led 7-4. The Sports
put across two runs— almost
giving their backers heart fail-
ure—but they failed to get that! its kind in the Houston
Rice Professor
Faces Loss Of
Citizenship
HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 18 —
(UP)—The government today-
sought to revoke the American
citizenship of Carl Ernst Mar-
tin Meyer, 38, German-born pro-
fessor at Rice Institute, because
he had retained "allegiance and
fidelity to the reich."
The government charged that
he had accepted his citizenship
with mental reservations.
Meyer, thin, pale man, with
light-colored hair, refused to
answer reporters' questions
when they asked him about the
suit. Smiling broadly, he said
he did not wish to say anything
about the petition until it came
into federal court.
The petition, filed yesterday
with U. S. District Clerk Hal V.
Watts, charged that Meyer ob-
tained a certificate of naturali-
sation Nov. 6, 1935, "fraudul-
ently and illegally, and for the j
' purpose of obtaining the rights
jand privileges and protection of
American citizenship without
intending to assume the duties I
thereof."
Meyer, an accomplished ling-1
uist, came to the United States
from Bremen, Germany, in 1930.
He was made a member of the
Rice Institute faculty as pro-
fessor of German the same year.
He was born in Nurnberg, Ger-
many. His last recorded place of
residence before coming to the
nited States was on the Isle of
Juist.
He was popular with his
students and seldom had been
heard to express political con-
victions. Campus associates
said.
