Y, Sept. 21.— The New York Giants continued to push toward the National League pennant and made a complete kill- ing of their Brooklyn jinx byI troun the Dodgers Sunday 4 to 0. The victory gave the Giants a clean sweep of the three-game series with the Dodgers and ap- parently insured their clinching of the pennant in the few remaining days of play.

The bespectacled righthander boasts his best record since 1931, when he won 16 games while losing an even dozen for the Boston Red Sox. His last three or four seasons were SO poor that almost everyone had counted him out as a big leaguer. Few figured him to be of any help to the weak Boston Bees when the current season got under way. Yet today he has 16 victories to his credit. It was largely on the strength of | MacFayden's fine showing in the uniform of the Red Sox in 1931 that the Yankees bought him from the Hub American League entry in June of the following year. Mac- Fayden failed to show any of his Boston form with the Yankees and wound up the season with a record of nine victories against 15 losses. ‘The next season, in 1933, he hung up only three wins and lost a pair of games. The pace was about the same in 1934 when he won only four for the Yankees. After the close of the 1934 sea- son MacFayden was sold to the Cincinnati Reds. He showed noth- ing for Cincinnati and then the Boston Bees picked him up at the waiver price. Back in his native New England, and in the town where he got his big league start, MacFayden took a new lease on his pitching life. Teday he is rated championship of the Pacific | Louis 9; Chicago 6. { N THE Shuts Out Cards Twice MacFayedn has proved himself to {be a smart curve-ball hurler and {has achieved his new-found suc- cess without the help of a high- scoring machine behind him. The Bees seldom give him anything like a substantial total of runs to work on. He has to pitch his head off side. The two victories he scored over the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 1-0 stamp him the fine | pitcher he has been all season for the Bees. MacFayden spoiled the New York he beat Freddie Fritzsimmons with the New Yorkers' lead in the pen- nant race to an uncomfortable close margin. In his last two triumphs over the Giants Danny pitched with a sore right thumb. Mungo Is Strikeout Monarch Danny is the only player in the National League wearing glasses on the field today. His slight build makes it imperative that he depend on control and a wide assortment of curves. He has had plenty of both this season. No one will be- grudge MacFayden his success—he | has had his share of adversity. Van Lingle Mungo just about clinched the major league strike- out title when he fanned 14 Bos- ten Bees in a recent contest to bring his 1936 total number of vic- tims well over the 200 mark. The Brooklyn Dodgers’ fireball pitcher is the first National League hurler to go over 200 in a single season since 1928 when Dazzy Vance whif- fed 221. Mungo takes over the title Dizzy | Dean has held for the past four | years. Dean’s best mark, 199, was made in 1933. The temperamental Brooklyn pitcher is likely to surpass Vance's 1928 total, but is unlikely to threaten the Old Dazzler's rec- At least not this season. — .- FIVE ARRIVE HERE The PAA Electra arrived here from Fairbanks at four o'clock yes- terday afternoon, with the follow- ing passengers: Mrs. Frank Mis- hon, Jack Stewart, Clyde Day, Mrs. ston.

And in addition, there’s a chance that the December 30 and Decem- ber 31 games with Southern Cali- fornia will be night contests, stag- ed in the Rose Bowl, as part of the annual Festival of Roses.
