Goose Goslin, 2 and Allen Russell were to g0 to the Yankees in trade for Pitcher Waite Hoyt and Outfielder Robert Meusel, it was intimated. “There i3 positively nothing to such rumors,” Griffith declared. ‘“No such trades are contemplated, and the Washington club has not been asked by either Boston or New York to constder any propositions. We have no men on the market.” “That's news to me,” sald Harris, when told of the reports. “I certainly would know of any trade to be made or any deal sought by another club. And I know of none. It's pure bunk.” Nationals and Browns not only are playing to gain the advantage in their annual series, but also for the 1925 double-play record of the American League, in the present set of engage- ments at Clark Griffith Stadium. The Browns so far have made 162 of the two-ply killings against 161 for the tionals. None was recorded in yes- terday’s conflict, but each team will be looking for opportunities to make such plays today and tomorrow. Ban Johnson, American League president, who refused to attend the world series here last year, has not said he would be present at the dia- mond classic this Fall. President Griffith and Manager Harris have re- ceived effusive congratulatory tele- clinched the pennant. His wire to Griffith read: “Hearty congratulations over the victory of the Washington club in its long, strenuous struggle for the Amer- ican League pennant. It was one of the best contests ever staged in the history of the organization. Here's hoping you may bring home the ‘bacon’ in the world serles.” Harris received the following tele- gram: “Hearty congratulations to you and the members of the Washington club in winning the American League champfonship. Much credit is due you for the sportsmanlike manner in which the victory was accomplished. May your work in the world series be crowned with success! American League patrons have unbounded faith in the skill, strength and courage of the Washington team.” Spence Adams could qualify for a circus tumbler should he care to get out of base ball.

NEW YORK, September 26.—The possibility of Detroit and St. Louis settling their long and bitterly con- tested American League struggle for third place in the closing serles of the schedule between the two teams loomed strongly today. The margin of two and one-half games which separated the third- place Browns from the Tygers at the close of play last week remained un- changed as each club yesterday record- ed its fourth victory in six starts this week. With both teams hitting hard and getting fair pitching, interest of fans in the two cities has begun to center on a three-game battle next week in St. Louls, where Ty Cobb will lead his cohorts against the men of Sisler, October 1, 2 and 3, in a final drive to_dislodge the Browns. The Browns vesterday defeated Washington, 5 to 4. Detrolt's easy victory over the Boston Red Sox was a_triumph of heavy hitting, 10 to 5, Manush and Heilmann leading the assault with three hits apiece. A six-run spurt in the eighth frame gave the Cleveland Indlans a 9-to5 verdict over the Athletics, while in the only National League game the retreating_Brooklyn Robins dropped their twelfth straight to Cincinnati as the Reds touched off a withering salvo of 19 safe blows for and 18-7 triumph.

The Typos' other run had been scored in the second. Norman Hutchinson, hero of many Printer battles, was ineffective agalinst the Marine bats and was removed in favor of Roudabush at the opening of the sixth. Klucken, Marine second baseman, hammered out a homer with one on in the second. RESEEDiXIE SERIES.

Clinching of the pennants almost simultaneously, and a fortnight be- fore the close of the major league closeness of both races last year, wk the final few days of the campaign. The contending rivals this season have ample time in which to give overworked veterans a needed rest, patch up injurfes and map out their battle strategy. There may be a little less “master- minding” than usual in this year's series, with John McGraw of the Gianté missing from the picture for the first time in five years, but Mc- Graw's processes may be given a counterpart by Fred Clarke, veteran adviser to the Pittsburgh forces. Clarke, who was winning pennants with the old Pirates when McGraw first took control of the Giants, is credited with having done much_of the deep thinking for the new Na- tional League champions. Clarke and Bill McKechnie, mana- ger of the Pirates, will have a nimble- minded opponent in Stanley (Bucky) Harris, who has established himself | s a strategist of the first rank in spite of his youth and comparative in- experience. Harris was just learning to swing a bat on the sandlots of his home town, | Pittston, Pa., when Clarke was lead ing the Pirates to their last pennant in 1909. Harris holds high respect for the ability of the Buccaneers, but is seasons is a sharp contrast to the hich left the outcome in doubt untii nevertheless confident perfence and steadiness of his outfit will carry the Senators to their sec- ond straight world championship Harris figures that if his club beats the Pirates it will be done with right- handed pitching, a view which also is shared by McGraw. Walter Johnson and Stanley Cove leskie are the pitching aces upon whom Harris will place his main re- liance, with not a few hopes also resting on Alex Ferguson, veteran acquired from Boston, and Fred Mar- berry, rescuer-in-chief of the Wash- ington staff. The consistency of the world cham- pions figures not a little, too, in Har- ris’ calculations. “My club has alw best in the pinch, when were highest,” he say: can count upon my comes to u showdown.” sility of the Nationa n experience, will have youth, batting punch and speed to combat in opposing the Pirates. The clash of these qualities promises to be the out standing interest and importance in the battle for base ball's premier honors. that the ex- been the ‘I Know 'n when at its stakes 1 m it horn HAGEN MEETS MEHLHORN IN DEFENDING PRO TITLE By the Associated Press.

To Receive Ball When Kicking. NOT THIS r— When the kicker lines up approxi- mately 10 yards back of his center on @ kick formation he always extends his arms in front of him, whether he is going to kick or not, or whether he i8 going to receive the ball or mnot. Otherwise, the opponents would soon be able to tell the kind of play that Was going to be run off. The man in this position opens his hands at the point where he wishes the center to pass him the ball. They are the tar- get for the center to pass to. The common practice of players in this position is to hold the hands high, directly in front of the face. That s wrong. The correct position s is in front of the kicker's waist The reason is apparent. Few centers are so accu- rate on this long 10-yard pass in the excitement of a game as to place the ball in the kicker's hands. So allow- ance must be made for error.
