oe MICKEY’S BENGALS | TOO FAR AHEAD FOR | YANKEES 10 CATCH; | Abilities of Contenders to Win and Lose Games at Home and Abroad Studied FIGURE ST. LOUIS TO WIN 16; Giants Should Take 19 of Re- maining 30 Encounters Unless They Fold Up By PAUL MICKELSON Chicago, Sept. 4.—()—Cold figures, aased strictly on comparative records of club against club so far this season, Wednesday pointed to a post season playoff series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Giants | for the National League pennant. Over in the American League, they indicated that Mickey Cochrane's De- troit Bengals would win the pennant by a full nine game margin over the New York Yankees, who were exactly that far behind them Wednesday. | ‘The abilities of the various con-} tenders to win and lose games at) home and abroad were not taken into consideration. Percentages of results to date only were used. For instance, the Cardinals and Pittsburgh have two games left against each other. To} date, they have split even, each win- ning 10 for a .500 average. Thus, the figures say it’s a victory apiece in the final two games. Against the Giants, the Cards have a winning per- | centage of only .389, which would in-| dicate nothing better than an even break at most for the Cards in their) final four games against Terry's men. On the percentage basis, the Cardi- | nals are doped to win 16 and lose 12 of their remaining games against the other seven clubs for a final record of 95 victories and 59 defeats. The Giants, unless they fold up on the road, are expected to win 19 out of their remaining 30 for the same record, necessitating the first playoff series since the era of Fred Merkle’s “boner.” On the same basis, the Cubs will win 13 and lose 10 to land in third place with 90 victories and 62 defeats} as against 14 victories and eight set- backs for the Pirates, who then would finish fourth at 88 - 66. JUPITER PLUVIUS THUMBS NOSE AT TERRY Dolorous Bill Terry looked up at) the black skies, felt the rain falling and bemoaned the turn of events that seemed to him to be dictated by a malicious fate.

Z G 7 N OUR BOARDING HOUSE MNROV'S CHEF WILL DEVOTE ATTENTION 10 BUILDING LINE Strength of Player, Not Deter- mined by Size, Mentor Says, Banning Giants Los Angeles, Sept. giants are out at the Univeristy of Southern California this year. This was the emphatic announce-! ment of Coach Howard Jones Wed- nesday as he pondered over the task of salvaging from the 1934 season’s| wreckage material for the coming season, “We had too many men on the team last year,” said Troy’s head man sadly, “who couldn’t handle their weight. If I wasn’t convinced before, I am now, that size doesn’t determine strength of @ football player. ) “Of course a big man who can handle himself is all right but they are scarce, while we saw plenty of players weighing 175 to 180 pounds last year who could put a 200 pounder out of the play.” Troy's mentor plans no drastic changes in his football setup to bring his team back into its winning stride. He is going to give the line, which was so weak a year ago, concentrated personal attention, convinced that if the forwards function properly the offense and defense will pretty well! take care of themselves. “Open up the offense and throw laterals? Sure,” he said, “if we. can find players capable of handling them.” The schedule: { Sept. 28, Montana; Oct. 5, College of the Pacific; Oct. 12, Illinois.

C., Sept. 4—(#)—The jgrestest stroke in the brilliant golf career of Bobby Jones was a putt! At least Bobby thinks so. Reminiscing on his 22-year com- petitive career, Bobby readily singled out @ 12-foot putt for.a tie with Al Espinosa on the last green of the! \fourth round in the 1929 United! ‘States open at Winged Foot as the| prize stroke of them all. “It was that or nothing,” said Bobby. “I had lost six strokes to | Espinosa on the preceding six holes.” Bobby's pitch to the home green {rolled into a deep bunker. A second! pitch stopped 12 feet short. There was a surving “rainbow” line along| @ slope to the cup. ‘Most Perfect’ Putt’ “Well, I just managed to sink it,” Jones explained in a slow drawl. But Al Watrous, who was playing with putt he ever saw. “If that hole had been a four-and- a-quarter-inch circle on the green,” said Watrous, “the ball would have! stopped in the center of it.” Jones won the 36-hole play-off next day by 23 strokes, defeating Espinosa, whom he had tied at 294 | Strokes. Jones, who retired in 1930 after taking the four major championships of the world in one season, is recu- perating leisurely at his summer cot- tage here from an appendix opera- tion last June.

And of all things, the reason is that the Minneapolis and 8t. Paul fight clubs are cooperating in staging fistic shows. They had to be pushed into the thing, at that. A while back when a match was in the making between the local pride, Jack Gibbons, and Frankie Battaglia, a big Twin City drawing card, the Minneapolis and St. Paul promoters staged a fairly good sideline scrap over the right to stage the show. Then the’ managers worked out a compromise whereby the competing clubs made it a joint affair. The re- sult was a crowd of about 16,000, one of the largest in the history of Twin City boxing. That caused the moguls to forget their compeiitive ways and they an- nounced Tuesday that the same sys- tem would be used to handle a bout Sept. 19 between Art Lasky and Charley Retzlaff. Until Jimmy Brad- dock used Lasky as a springboard to his spectacular title drive, the Min- neapolis truck driver had a pretty fair record, marred only by a bad beating at the hands of Retzlaff. That happened about 18 months ago. Now Retzlaff is coming out of retirement on his North Dakota farm to try to prove that his big right fist is more than the durable Lasky can handle. Perry Consistent When Title Looms British Ace Wants to Be First Foreigner to Grab U. S. Crown Three Times Forest Hills, N. ¥., Sept. 4—(P)— Fred J. Perry of England has one vir- tue that no other player in the 54th men’s national singles tennis cham- pionships can claim. It is consist- ency. Perry can and at times does turn in an indifferent performance, but not when anything is at stake. He wants to be the first foreigner to win the American title three times, Perry's next opponent is Frank eee No. 3 on the United States it. As the result of Tuesday's rain, which caused the second postpone- ment since the men’s, women’s and veterans’ championships started last Thursday, the men’s final now is scheduled for Sunday at the earliest. Frisco’s Eckhardt in Lead for Bat Honors Durham, N. C., Sept. 4.—(#)—Oscar Eckhardt of the San Francisco mis- sions took full advantage of his clos- est rival’s slump the past week and forced ahead in the sprint for the batting championship of the minor leagues. The big coast league slugger gain- ed an appreciable edge with an aver- age of .407, while Chet Laabs of Fort Wayne in the Three-I circuit, in a rut since his return to action follow- R|ing an injury, dropped to .398. Helixon, Grand Forks, Northern, with .340, was in 17th place, Landis Puts Hafey . On Retired Roster Chicago, Sept. 4—(#)—Charles “Chick” Hafey, bespectacled outfield- er of the Cincinnati Reds, has been placed on the voluntarily retired list by Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis. Hafey left Cincinnati last May be: cause of illness, The club said he serted without giving notice, an ac- cusation Hafey denied. OUT OUR WAY In This Corner . CAPS Tributes Paid Her Minneapolis, Sept. 4—(#)—The darling of Minneapolis, Patty Berg, was wondering Wednesday why losing a golf match quali- fied her for the national exchange club’s “Book of Golden Deeds.” “After all,” said Patty halting- ly at the presentation ceremonies Tuesday night, “I didn’t save anyone's life, or anything.” But the classic bid the 17-year- old high school girl made for the national women’s golf title in the tournament here last week, losing only to Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare in the finals, so endeared herself to the local citizenry that the speakers at the ceremony regret- ted that a mere scroll was the best available present. Little World Series Is Definitely Ended Chicago, Sept. 4.—()—Convinced that the little world series against the International League champion was definitely off, President Thomas Jefferson Hickey of the American Association Tuesday said he would advocate resumption of the circuit’s Post season play-offs next fall. He also said he already had sug- gested that the 1936 all star game be changed so that two all star teams, one recruited from the eastern and the other from the weéitern clubs, meet, instead of the current leading club against the hand picked field as was done the past two years. “I am convinced that the little world series is definitely off,” Presi- dent Hickey told the Associated Press. “We haven't heard anything from the International League, and we are simply forgetting about it.” i | Fights Last Night | ° (By the Associated Press) Chicage—-iaddie Tonielli, 145, [ose Puzzled by eo ° lelphia, Dempsey, 122, Manila (9).

When Lewis hurled Steele against him, Referee Mike Na- zarian plunged through the ropes to the floor. Ten seconds later, when he returned, Nazarian gave Steele the decision as the Cali- fornian, rising from the floor, pinned Lewis with a head lock. Lewis, however, apparently had pinned Steele while the referee was out of commission, but Na- zarian refused to change his ver- dict.
