H N.Y. NEEDS ONLY BIGHT VICTORIES T0 GINCH PENNANT Stars Injured, Stars in Batting Slumps, Homicide Squad Still Class of League SOX OUT OF RUNNING Cubs Gain Half Game on Idle Giants and Cards With Win Over Pirates (By the Asseciated Press) At last the Yankees have given ome indication of just how complete- ly they outclass the rest of the American League For weeks the homicide squad has shown that it tops the other seven ciubs like a tent, but it took the re- sults of the last two weeks to prove that the outfit is entirely in a class by itself. For most of the two weeks, mur- erers’ row has resembled a base hos- pital, with at least two, and some- times three members of its first string cast crippled and on the bench. At the same time. the two heaviest hit- ters, Lou Gehrig and Joe Di Maggio, have been in their worst slump of the season FRIDAY'S STARS Tony Lazzeri, Yankees — Hit homer with two on base in 9-6 win over Red Sox. Larry French, Cubs—Shut out || Pirates with seven hits. i Buck Newsom, Senators — | Stopped Athletics with nine hits. |! Yet, even the injuries to Bill Dick- ¢}, Red Rolke and Frankie Crosetti— the latter two wrecked the infield— and the weak stickwork of Gehrig end “Di Mag.” in addition to the hardship of running up against four of the toughest outfits in the lop during that time, have had little if any effect. i Won 10 of 12 | The Yanks have minded so little, in fact, that they have come through | the hard times with a record of ten) victories in their last 12 starts, in- cluding clashes with the Tigers, White €ox, Indians and Red Sox. Winding up with a 9-6 victory over the Boston Gold Sox Friday, on the strength of Tony Lazzeri’s homer with two mates aboard, the Ruppert Rifles climbed 17'2 games out in front of their nearest rivals, the Indians. At the present writing, they need tut eight more triumphs to wrap up the pennant and take it home, and will probably clinch the matter by the tenth of the month. Red Sox Out The defeat for the Red Sox dropped them out of the pennant fight, their last hi to catch up gone, and made a five-horse race of the rest of the campaign, with the situation lined up| this way: Game Games | Be- to Club Won Lost hind Play Yankees .. 88 43 23 Indians ... 70 60 1%g 24 Tigers .1 63 19 Eenators .. 69 63 19%, 22 White Sox. 68 63 20 23 | The Senators took over sole posses- sion of fourth place from the White Gox in yesterday's curtailed program by trouncing the Athletics, 7-3, while the Chicago contenders were idle. In the only other battle in the major league front—for everyone else had a scheduled day off—the Chicago Cubs picked up half a game on the} National League pace-setters, the; Giants and the Cardinals. Larry French returned to his top form and shut out the Pirates with seven hits while his mates clubbed out an 8-0 win.

THEM 13 GAMES BEHIND SAINTS Patty Berg Takes Mason-Dixon Meet Minneapolis Girl's Brilliant Play Gives Her 12 and 10 Victory White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. whose spectacular play is threatening to upset the old established regu- lations for women’s par, took the shiny Mason-Dixon golf champion- ship cup with her Saturday to Wash- ington. The 18-year-old Minneapolis girl won the trophy by overwhelming Vir- ginia Guilfoil of Syracuse, in yester- day’s final, 36-hole match by the count of 12 and 10. Patt; score on the first 18—77 or two under women's pat—was a sam- ple of the game she displayed throughout the week. She took medalist honors with a 78 and at no time was she more than one above theoretical perfect figures in her five matches. Four times yesterday her putts rimmed the cup, preventing an even lower score. Miss Berg will play an exhibition match in the capital Labor Day and then enter the master’s tournament in Vermont prior to another try at the women’s national, where she was runner-up last year. Jury Decides Player’s Death Was Accidental Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 5—(P)—A coroner's jury decided Friday night the death of George Tkach, 21, ond baseman of the Superior club of the Northern League, was accidental. Tkach died from injuries suffered when he was struck by a pitched ball in a game here Aug. 27. He was struck on the upper left jaw. Arthur Morrison, official of the Winnipeg club, ed he had ask- ed Tkach what he thought had hap- pened, and that the ond baseman had told him “I guess I forgot to duck.” Alvin Bennett, catcher of the Mar- oons, said Tkach was the type of player who stood close to the plate. | Just before the accident, Bennett said, there were two strikes on Tkach. Apparently thinking the next ball would be either a slow ball or 8 curve, the batter seemed to “step into it” as it left the pitcher's hand, the catcher testified | Alex Uffelman, pitcher who threw the ball that struck Tkach, was pres- ent but was not asked to testify. sec- | i | Millers, Also Fighting for Asso- | ciation Playoff Berth, Down } Brewers | Chicago, Sept. 5.—(2)— The Mil- iy ‘championship but there still are sparks flying from the American Association {battle—with four clubs fighting for the three remaining positions in the circuit's playoff system, | The Kans City Blues stayed in | Sept. 5.—(#)—Red-haired Patty Berg, |the thick of their battle for second ;Diace with St. Paul by defeating the Saints Friday, 6 to 2.

Arriving Friday from the west, the group of 28 selected players from last year’s college teams quickly settled down to drilling for next Tuesday's battle at the polo grounds against the New Yor Giants.

Five more players are slated to join ; the squad before Tuesday. | Their drill yesterday was conduct- ed by Bo McMillin of Indiana in the absence of Bernie Bierman, head | coach, who went to Minenapoulis from Chicago apd reached here last night just in time for a “skull” session in which he pointed out the mistakes ithe players had made against De- troit. The starting lineup Tuesday will not be quite the same as that which faced the Lions. Although the fans picked the squads .and the starters in both cases, the votes from the eastern sector carried more weight tor the eastern game. As a result Ed Michaels of Villanova is due to start at left guard in place of Paul Tan- gora of ‘Northwestern; Jim Karcher of Ohio State will replace Vernori Oech at right guard, Amerino Sarno of Fordham will play right tackle instead of Spain of Southern Meth- odist and Joe Maniaci of Fordham ; will replace Notre Dame’s Bill Shake- speare at right halfback.
