The vote was surprisingly deci- ¥ sive in favor of the big Polish out- | fielder who does much of the clean up slugging for Connie Mack's world champions. Simmons was the first choice of five managers, including Mr. Mack. The others who nominated Al for the dis- tinction were Joe McCarthy, S8hano Collins, Donie Bush and Bucky Harris. Mickey Cochrane ran second and Joe Cronin, the great Washington shortstop, third in the Ledger’s poll, but there will be quite a bit more evidence to examine before the debate is settled for the sea- son. Simmons unquestionably carries the big punch of the A's, but Coch- A‘SES‘%_IATEU ESS S EDIT ‘asset than Simmons with Cronin | as his third choice. This was the cnly nomination accorded the fa- mous sopthpaw pitcher, however. Southpaw ‘Iron Man’ Grove's “fireballs” have been treated a bit roughly at times by the opposing marksmen this sea- son but by mid-July, the ace of the Athletes was well on his way to | collecting 30 or more victories, something no major league pitcher |has accomplished since Sergeant Jim Bagby turned in 31 for Cleve- |land in 1920. | No southpaw has turned this trick since the American league | was launched in 1900. In both cir- cuits, the iron men always have | been right-handers, such as Joe McGinnity, Christy Mathewson, Ed Walsh, Grover Alexander, Walter | Johnson, Jack Chesbro, Joe Wood, Jack Coombs and George Earn- | shaw. | Famous left-handers like Mar- rane’s all-around ability carries a|quard, Waddell, Plank, Gregg, Ruth logical argument in his favor.

He won eight in a row before drop- ping the “duke” to the White Sox, {then romped off on another streak that reached nine straight against | the Senators July 13. !

The Badgers have been sending crews to Poughkeepsie for about 30 years, with varying results, but they are more anxious than ever to develop some midwestern com- petition, with a regatta or two on home waters annually to stir up riore interest.

LEADERSHIP AT - STAKE AS ELKS TAKE ON MOOSE Lodge Entries in City League to Settle Tie in Game This Evening | | | \ ‘ ‘The leadership of the City league |is at stake in tonight's game at Recreation Park when the Elks | and Moose clubs tangle for the sec- ond time this week. In their last game—last Sunday—the Moose came from behind to tie the count in the final minutes of play. Junge or Manning will heave for the Bills while Osborne or Erskine will do the chucking for the Paps. Both of the Moose pitchers worked last Sunday, Osborne going nine frames and Erskine but seven, so | the latter may be the Moose choice. | Junge is the logical candidate for duty for the Elks since Manning heaved Sunday’'s game. But Jim- my is a bear for work and usually does more effective work on three games a week than just one. ‘The game will start at 6:30 p.m. | S e e— President Dale Gear of the West- iern league favors “cheaper base- ball to compete with the times.” | PANTORIUM | CLEANERS | “We Call For and Deliver” | TEL. 355 ; .
