    Cubs Win Pennant: Two Grid Upsets Winding up with a 17-hit bar rage in the second game Of a double-header with the st. Louis Cardinals, the amazing Chicago Cubs temporarily showed football into the background yesterday as they clinched the National League pennant by splitting even as the Pittsburgh Pirates dropped a 9-to-6 decision to the Cincinnati Reds and eliminated themselves from one Of the hottest flag chases in years. Only two gridiron upsets were recorded as the football campaign swung into its warmest week end. Oklahoma of the Big Six Confer ence surprised the highly touted Rice eleven, 7 to 6. and a light but experienced Brown eleven smashed Harvard, 20 to 13. Minnesota’s burly Gophers and Pittsburgh’s vaunted Panthers strengthened their claims to ma tional recognition by handy VIC tories, Minnesota beating Nebraska, 16 to 7. and Pitt whipping Temple, % to 6. Georgetown was the only local college team to win, routing Hampden-Sydney, 81 to 0. Maryland was soundly beaten by Penn State, 33 to 0. (Full details in sports section.)
