in one of the most sensational struggles ever staged for the American League championship, returns from the Polo Grounds sector tomorrow will be received with little less interest locally. Then it is the Browns SPORTS. 'WILL REACH THEIR GOAL IF YANKS BEAT BROWNS Zachary Hurls Nationals to Seventfi Straight Victory, Beating Tygers, 3 to 2, in Battle Crammed With Thrills. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HILE the attention of the clash in the final of a seri will commingle with the Hugmen their last series, and should the Gothamites triumph, the Washington club will attain third place in the standing of the clubs. It will be by but a narrow margin: 356 thousandths of a point, to be ex- act—as the teams then would have these figures: W W. L.

This edge, although slight, is suffi- cient to assure the Griffmen of a worth-while cut in the world series receipts if it can be maintained, but that promises to be a formidable task.

This provided the New York manage- nt decides. following the outcome its games today and tomorrow, that its aspirations “for the flag will not_be best served by playlng off a postponed game with the local club here Wednesday. In the event, then, St. Louls should with the Tygers, for Washington to cop four out of its remaining five to finish in third place, half a game # the Fohlmen. Should the break even in Detroit, the . by winning three of five, d finish in a tie with them, while air of defeats for St. Louis in De- troit would require only two Grif- fithian victories out of five games to land the local contingent in the money. If the Browns win all three of the games they have vet to play and the Nationals take the five left for them, the latter will cop. Win Spectacular Game. ‘Washington’s approach to within half a game of the Browns was accomplished yesterday, while the Browns were idle, in one of the most spectacular contests seen this season on the local lot, when Jozebel Tecumseh Zachary triumphed over Bert Cole in a battle of lefthand- ers, the score being, Griffs, 3 : Tigers, 2. The struggle was replete with dazsling work afleld and long-distance_hitting, the visitors complling three doubles and a triple, while the home guard registered a quartet of the three-ply blows, two of them by Ed Gharrity, who had a per- fect day at bat, connecting for a single and walking on his other two appear- ances. Zach had only one bad inning, when a triple, two doubles, a_single and a sac- rifice’ fly gave the Bengals the two tallies, and then, except for an error by Shanks, the ememy wouid have got only one runner around the circuit. Woodall led with a wallop to left cen- ter for two bases. Harris' perfect relay from Rice had the Tiger flagged at the far corner, but Shanks dropped the ball. One run ‘was in when Cole poled a three-bagger to the scoreboard, and an- other accrued from' Young's sacrifice fly to Rice. O'Rourke turned in a gem of a play to retire Sargent. Cobb then singled to center and died at the plate when Milan got off a perfect peg after retrieving Veach’s Texas league double. Gharrity in Star Role. ‘This was one of the three occasions in which Gharrity shined similarly. Another was in the opening round when Cobb whacked to center und attempted to tally on a double to right by Veach, only to bounce off the sturdy and unyielding form of Gharrity with an accurate throw from Goslin nestling in his mitt. The third of these last-station deaths was witnessed in round 6. Then Sargent singled and took an extra base on ce’s fumble and Tioved to third on Cobb's perfect sac- rifice. Veach walked and when a double steal was attempted Harris ipped the ball back to Gharrity, zainst whom Sargent crashed with h force that the slightly bullt ngal had the wind knocked out of ‘he Tygers threatened on only one « her occasion, in the eighth, when znion, batting for Cole, beat out a ow roller to O'Rourke. 'Barnes, put . to run_for him, reached the mid- on Young's sacrifice, but was ed at third when O'Rourke ped up Sargent’s rap and shot it to Shanks. Washington's first run, in the open- ing sescion, was unearned. second with Cole holding the ball, Judge scored when Eiue t,ok Coics tess and pegged wild to Sargent Shanks' single and a walk to Ghar- rity in the second nctted nothing, O'Rourke porping in an attempt to bunt, and Zachary lining into a dou- ble play. In the third Judge walked and reached the far corner on a sin- zle by Rice, who stole second with two down, the pair of thcm being left when Goslin grounded to Tavener. ‘Two Triples Fle Score. * Terrific triples by Grarrity and Zackary produced the tieing run for ‘Washington in the fourth inning, and the battle front in New York, where the Yankees and Indians starting Thursday, and one with! base ball world today is centered on es that may prove the decisive factor in a contest washed out by rain in Nearing Their Goal. l AB:R.

In sucha contingency Miller Huggins may figure he needs an extra game to attain the pennant and bring his troupe here for a bat- tle Wednesday. Then Walter John- gon will be ready to throw a monkey wrench into the Gotham machine. The Grifts will loaf today, but a stiff drill_is planned for them tomorrow, and Wednesday evening they will e i train for Boston, where single con- tests Thursday and Friday and a Gouble-header Saturday are scheduled befgre their return joust of the cam- paign against the Athletics Sunday. ‘Washington’s win yesterday was the | seventh in a row and constitutes its best record next to the eleven-game streak it attained early in August. It gave the Nationals the season’s series over the Tygers, by 12 games to 10. O’Rourke put up & scintillating game at short, with several flashy plays, but Harris was the busiest lad, handling seven chances and connect- ing for three safeties in four times up. In addition Bucky attained a tie with Sisler for base stealing honors by registering his twenty-ninth theft. He tried to make it thirty in round 7, but Cole’s throw nipped him at the plate. hington’s exhibition with New Haven of the Eastern League, listed for Wednesday, has been canceled for fear it might interfere with the third- place aspirations of McBride's men. Bob La Motte is the first of the Na- tionals to call it a year. The sub shortstopper, who has been troubled with a bad leg, departed today for his home, at Savannah, Ga. IRISH MEUSEL'S HITS . ADD TO GIANTS' LEA Eight hits in two days by Leftfielder Emil (Irish) Meusel of the Giants was one reason why his team had an eighteen-point ~margin over the Pirates in the National League toda; He drove home four runs with twe doubles against the Cards yesterday and clinched the 6-to-2 game for the easterners. Meusel madé two other hits, welloping safely four times in five trips to the plate. Pittsburgh did not play yesterday. Thomas, a recruit outflelder of the Cubs, showed his older teammates a few tricks in~winning ball games. In the first game of a double-header with Boston he drove home the win- ning runs with a single, and in _the second contest his double in the final inning .started a batting rally that won the battle. Each game went twelve innings. The Cubs won, 4 to 8 and 8 to 7. Miljus was a_target for Red bats- men during the three Innings he pitched, and the Dodgers were van- quished, 6 to 2.

Giants and Yanks Advance v i Fights for Pennants By winning yesterday, while the Pirates were idle, the Giants increased their lead in the pe: mant race to three games, and, with oaly five more to play, the homors seem safe for the Me- Graw men. The Giants have one game to play with St. Lous, one with Beston, two with Philadelphia and one with Brooklyn. The Pirates have two 1 to play with the Phillies and five i| with the Cardinals.

L0SS BY TRIBE TODAY WOULD DIM FLAG HOPE With an advantage of a nine-point lead and assured of at least an even break in the present series, the Yan- kees today met the Indians in New York in the fourth and concluding contest. The leaders won the first and third games, while Cleveland took the second. The Tribe cannot wrest the Ameri- can League leadership from the Yan- kees by a win today. On the other hand, if the Yankees win, their rivals will find it difficult to dislodge them from the top position in the few re- maining games of the season. In piling up a score that resembled a gridiron game rather than a base ball match, 21 to 7, the Yankees yes- terday established a season’s record for ryns scored. The biggest Na- tional League score since 1900 was made by Cincinnatl against Boston on June 4, 1911, when the winner tallied 26 fimes against 3 for Boston. In the American League the biggest score was Boston 23, Philadelphia, made on July 2, 1901. Every Yankee made one or more hits except Catcher Devormer, who was not officlally credited with a time at bat. Meusel, Pipp and Peckin- paugh were the batting leaders with three hits a plece. Of six errors by Cleveland, Sewell made three and O'Neill two. Mays, who pitched vesterday, and Hoyt were the winning twirlers for New York in their two victories, while Uhle was Cleveland's winning pitcher on Saturday.

ANZAC BENTS THDEN YALE-ARMY GRID GAME WILL BE A BIG EVENT BY LAWRENCE PERRY. N pouring of Yale and Army alumni. Interest so great has already been manifested that the Yale authorities have decided to install at once extra seating accommodations. On the day of the game we shall probably see a host of more than eighty thousand spectators seated about the arena. The Yale squad is a big one and con- tains a well balanced ‘assortment of linemen of the proper type and backs of far better quality than the Blue has boasted in years. Indeed, Yale has two or three backfleld groups of the sort qualified to run loose against lesser opponents, running up scores through individual excellence and thus hiding inherent faults with the forward play which would be only too clearly revealed when opposition is of high character. So Yale should watch out for this. The time will come when the backs, no matter how fine, will expect of the linemen not alone a quick charge, but a general cleaning up just beyond holes that have been opened while on defense. The forwards will be asked not to charge out of their positions, leaving the secondary defense to do work that should have been done on the scrimmage line. Saturday the right side of the Yale line especially was Inclined to sprawl out too much on defensive, leaving much of the tac- kling to be done by a gifted defensive back named Mallory. Into, at left tackle, was the flaming spirit of Yale line play and is a man who would be dear to the heart of any line coach in the country. Blair, who played at the end in the later stages of the game, gave speaking .| evidence of great ability, and Diller, another end, is good. It looks, by the way, as though Yale were going to continue her scheme of sending the ends in on a play and then having them check up to look things over. That will be all right if the tackles have the power and ability to do the smashing. Avolds Direet Passing. EW HAVEN, Conn., September 26.—In promulgating her plans for the foot ball season Yale finds every evidence that the visit of the West Point cadets to the bowl the middle of next month promises to materialize not only a fine game, but a spectacle exceeding anything New Haven ever saw. The entire cadet battalion will come to the field and hold dress parade, and added to the pomp of military dis- play and the thrill of spirited competition there will be a thundering out- for Penn.

An injury just before the opening of the season put Wamby out for some time. Speaker called on Stephen- son, the southern collegian, who came direct to the world champs from the University of Alabama. Cleveland intended to use him only until Wamby was able to get back. The big fellow | hit so well and fielded so acceptably | that Speaker was forced to keep him in the game long after Wamby was ready to start. Only when Stephen- son began to wabble in the field did Wamby get back. He has made most of his opportunity and played such €ood ball that Stephenson remains on the bench, despite the fact that he better than .300.
