THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, OCT. 9, 1931. WHAT IN THE WORLD 'S AILNG HIM? MRS-JIGGS- YOUR HLOSBAND FIXED HIS OWN BREAKFAST THIS MORNIN'-HE SAID HE WUZ IN A HURRY: By GEORGE McMANUS WELL: HE TOOK THE BIRDSEED BY M\STAKE INSTEAD OF H\S REGULAR. BREAK: FAST FOOD-MUM- Two years ago, the only Portu- | guese major league ball player we | know of, Lew Fonseca, led the Am- erican league in batting and was voted the circuit’s “most valuable | player” by a committee of experts casting their ballots at the request | of The Associated Press . Iwnhout a set back for the Yan- kees. As we have noted before the ad- vent of the less-lively ball helped make 1931 distinctly a pitcher’s year. The sluggers not only have been forced to move over and share at least half the spotlight, but some Then with Cleveland, now with [Of the ball-busters, notably Hack the White Sox, claim to fame this year is that he struck the blow that kept Lefty Grove from a world’s record streak of consecutive pitching victories. For one of those reasons peculiar to baseball and psychology, Fonse- ca has always been able to hit the great Grove. The members of the I-Can-Sock-Grove club are almost as rare as left-handed third base- men. Consequently, it was a touch of irony for Fonseca to gain and seize the opportunity in the 12th inning of a ball game at the White Sox park on June 5, 1931, to plas- ter one of Robert Moses’s fire-balls for a home run. Lefty was doing a friendly relief trick at the time. This blow broke a winning streak that Grove had nourished through eight previous games. Subsequent- ly the sultan of the southpaws reeled off 16 in a row to tie the American League record before dropping a 1-0 encounter to Dick Coffman of the Browns. Clap Hands for Lefty. Grove's pitching record is the No. 1 individual achievement of the year in baseball by a wide margin. His winning percentage is a new “high” for all time, barring a few freak or short term performances such as the season when Tom' Zachary hung up a dozen victories' Fonseca’s chief | Wilson, have been crowded off the stage entirely. The Hack’s downfall is the big- gest form reversal of the season. The Cubs paid him the better part of his $30,000 contract but he will be lucky to draw a third that| much in 1932, The no-hit-no-run club accum- ulated two additions—Wesley Fer- rell of Cleveland and Lefty Bob Burke of the Senators. Ferrell, passing the 20-victory mark for the third straight season, blanked St. Louis without a hit April 29 and was knocked out of the box on his|f next three appearances. Burke also was roughly handled, in the ac- customed manner, after holding the Red Sox hitless, August 8. George Earnshaw, the Big Moose, claims he got none the best of the scorer’s decision when a lone hif was charged against him in a game at Boston. ‘Guy Bush of the Cubs twirled a brace of one-hit games. Experts Right—News. 2 ‘While we are reviewing the sit- uation, it is worth noting new Na- tional League attendance records were set when 56,000 packed the Polo Grounds to see Grimes tame the Giants, May 17, and when 45715 swarmed into Sportsman's Park, St. Louis, for a double-head- er with the Cubs July 12.
