BRINGING UP FATHER THE MAN NEXT DOOR, SENT THIS BOOK FOR YOU TO READ ! THAT WILL KEEP YOU FROM 40"\14 ME D Tiey & SAY THE AMEQiCArJ LEAGUE BALL 'S LELy /f s i/ No soft spots have been selected for Robert Moses Grove this sea- son in the drive of the "Athletics toward their third straight pen- nant. The celebrated southpaw has taken on all comers. He has done his best work against the club that has given the A’s the most opposi- tion—Washington. Grove has beaten the Senators five times and dropped one decision by a 2-1 score after allowing only five hits. He went in the other day to apply the brakes to the latest Washington threat before a howling Shibe Park crowd of 32,000. The rest of Grove's 22 victories were compiled as follows: Detroit, four; Chicago, St. Louis and Cleve- land, three each; New York and Boston. two each. Chicago handed Lefty his second defeat of the sea- son in the 12th inning of a game he entered as a relief pitcher. Ji¥ " “Curve” Specialist American League batsmen may expect some scientific stuff from Monte M. Weaver, the pitcher ‘Washington recently obtained from the Baltimore Internationals. Weaver did graduate work in mathematics at the University of Virginia for three years. He was an instructor at the same time and " Bill Wranek, of the University's News Service, writes: “The trick note is that Weaver got a master of science degree in 1929 for a thesis written on curves. Its exact title was ‘The companion to the litnus: the curve whose vec- toral angle is proportional to the square of the arc length. Applica- tion to the railway transitional curve.’ “Weaver went on with work for a Ph. D, but decided to devote more time to professional ball as his arm improved. He did not play for Virginia because he had pitched professionally before he entered. “Eppa Rixey is Virginia's only other alumnu pitching in the big leagues.

Virginia’s new head coach, Fred Dawson, who succeeds Earl Abell of Colgatz, has been long regarded as one .of the ablest mentors in the country. He coached Columbia for several years and then went to Ne- braska, where he turned out Corn- | husker teams that twice conquered ‘prevlously unbeaten Notre Dame aggregations. Woe for Cards “The Athletics get a break in having the Cardinals as their pros- | pective world’s series opponents,” | remarked Bucky Harris in Boston. “It will mean that Grove and Earnshaw can pitch the first four games. And if I may say so Grove and Earnshaw come pretty close to being the Athletics in person. Give either one to the Yankees or Wash- |the American League pennant.” CANZONERI AND BERG TO RENEW RING RELATIONS NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—The New York State Athletic Commission ap- proved a lightweight championship battle between champion Tony Canzoneri and Jack (Kid) Berg, at the Polo Grounds, September 10.
