Who Won
P: The Philadelphia Athletics: 13-to-5, against the Detroit Tigers; the baseball game which broke 22-year-old Pitcher Lynwood ("Schoolboy") Rowe's string of victories, after he tied the American League record with 16 in a row (TIME, Sept. 3); at Philadelphia.
P: Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane's Psychic Bid, stablemate of Cavalcade and High Quest, ridden by Mack Garner: the $29,000 Hopeful Stakes; by five lengths, against a field of 15 crack two-year-olds; at Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
P: Neither the professional Chicago Bears nor a team of last year's All-Star Collegians, selected by a Chicago Tribune poll and coached by Purdue's Kizer. Northwestern's Hanley and Fordham's Crowley: a night football game which ended 0-to-0, after the Bears had been outrushed 136 yd. to 62 before a capacity crowd (80,000) in Chicago's Soldier Field.
P:Barrel-chested Marvin Nelson of Fort Dodge, Iowa, for the third time in the last five years: the $5,000 first prize in Toronto's annual 15-mi. swimming race; in Lake Ontario, where the temperature averaged 58DEG. Of the 89 other contestants, only four finished.
P: Edwin F. Hunt, Assistant Attorney General of Tennessee: the U. S. Checkers championship; at Jamestown, N. Y. The tournament, in which 24 district champions entered, was played in rounds of four games each. Spectators were not permitted to speak. The rattle of notes being passed disturbed Checkerist Hunt. For the playoff, he and Nathaniel Rubin of Los Angeles retired to an upstairs bedroom in the Jamestown Hotel, played a round which lasted three days, contained eleven draws, one victory for Hunt.
