Everett Purdy, a ific Coast League product just acquired by the Reds, clicked off a home run in the first inning of the second game with one man on. Long George Kelly start- ed both of Cincinnati's winning rallies. Lioyd Waner sat on the bench in the second game, having injured a finger in the opener while catching a fly ball. He was replaced by Kiki Cuyler. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Chi- cago Cubs played a long shot against St. Louis and sent Lefty Weinert, just acquired from the San neisco Mis- sions, to the mound for the opening game. Weinert responded by holding the world champions to five hits and turned in a 6—1 victory. Chicago pre- viously had lost seven straight games. St. Louis took the next game by 2—0 | score, Jess Harris limiting the Bruins to four hits. Guy Bush of the Cubs was touched for only six safeties, but Chick Hafey's two doubles sent in runs.

Cleveland and St. Louis broke even. The Indians squeezed out a 7—6 win in the first game, largely through Fon. seca’s timely hitting.

INJURED AUTO DRIVER RESTING COMFORTABLY ALTOONA, Pa., September 6 (®). —Cliff Woodbury, Chicago race pilot in the Labor day speed event here, was sald to be resting comfortably at a hospital.

Giants Climb From Fourth Place to Within a Game of League-Leading Pirates MISCELLANEOUS HOLIDAY SPORTS GIVEN IN BRIEL FIREMEN TURN HOSE ON POLICEMEN NINE District Firemen yesterday turned in their first win over the Police nine, in their annual diamond clash at Ameri- can League Park. Heavy hitting and errors, both of omission and com- mission, resulted in an 11-to-9 score. Both teams called two pitchers into action. Mazurski tried to fill the shoes of Finney Kelly, many times con- queror of the Firemen, but a sideline rooter yesterday due to an injured knee, but he failed to get very far. Cal Humphries, who relieved him, also ran into trouble. Hull was the Firemen's hurling choice. He wilted, however, but re- turned again in the closing innings to halt a last-minute Copper assault. Firemen led, 8 to 1, at the start of the sixth, but the Bluecoats gathered 6 tallies and made things serious. The Hosemen added 3 more in the seventh and eighth, which enabled them to breeze home a winner despite a two- run rally by the Cops in the nintk. Weatherhead, slugging Policeman, was the batting hero, although Walter, refighting outfielder, gathered three hits. W. Snow fielded well at short for the winners.

The filly, beaten only once in her racing career, exhibited fine workouts, inducing her owner to ship her East yesterday for the Futurity, accompanfed by Wild Notes and Joan d'Albert, two other Leona Farm horses. DIVIDE DOUBLE BILL. ‘Washington Giants and Black Sox, colored teams, divided a double-header yesterday at Union League Park. Sox won the first, 8 to 4, but dropped the second, 7 to 10. | | ! ' BY GEORGE CHADWICK. ILLER HUGGINS will play his New York Yankees in the 1927 world serfes with two big trump cards on his pitching staff—and an ace in the hole that may take all the stakes. The big cards are Herb Pen- nock, southpaw, and Waite Hoyt, right-hander. The hidden ace is the “aged rookie” from Oklahoma who has astounded the base ball world in his first vear in the big leagues— Wiley Moore. Base ball fandom has conceded that the Yanks are practically “in,” as the American League champlons are lacking only a few victories to make the pennant a mathematical cer- tainty. Hence, the rating of pitchers may ‘as well start right now. Besides Pennock, Hoyt and Moore the Yanks will have these pitchers to face the enemy; Dutch Ruether, Urban Shocker, George Pipgras, Bob Shaw- key, Myles Thomas and Joe Giard. On the results of previous world series the Yankees will go into the 1927 argument with Pennock and Hoyt as their best bets—if both of them are in good condition. It will be a hard blow to the Yankees if Pen- nock is not fit. His experience and his knowledge of pitching craft are super acquisitions. Age Mellows Hoyt. Hoyt is better than he was because he is becoming less headstrong as he grows older. Youth led him a sorry race for a time. He was stubbornly insistent that inexperience could lead a balky calf with a rope. When suf- ficiently licked, he got over some of it. The man who will be called upon to save games for New York in the com- ing world series will be Wilcy Moore. Not even that bulging pair of fence busters, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. will shine with greater brilliance. The fans may bawl and bellow when Ruth and Gehrig go to bat. Babe and Lou may be the popular heroes, but the chap who will carry the confidence of Manager Huggins and who will wield strategy for Huggins with his right arm is most likely to be Wilcy Moore. Maybe Moore will not start a game in the series, but if the aging troupe of Pennock, Shocker, Ruether, Hoyt, Shawkey and company feel any bones cracking. and there is noise coming from the pitcher's box like a door swinging on a rusty hinge, this placid Oklahoman probably will stalk from the bull pen to the field of battle, even |as old Grover Cleveland Alexander | stalked in 1926 for St. Louis. It may be the majestic figure of | Moore that will carry fear into the | hearts of the National League cham: plons this year, as it was the slouch of Alexander that is sald to have struck the Yankees dumb at bat last season. 1If Pennock, Hoyt and Moore cannot deliver for the Yanks, Mr. Huggins will be in desperate straits. Ruether was not impressive when he pitched for the Yanks against St. Louis last year. He was halting and hesitant and the St. Louis team knew that his he cigarette you can sinoke D. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1927. MOORE IS ACE, PENNOCK AND HOYT YANK TRUMPS nerves were galloping with the acute pangs sometimes set up by stage fright. Ruether had too little cunning and he was outflanked and outwitted. Shawkey, now 37 years old. has been too long in service to be of much use in a world series. His wide. sweeping, overarm motion which produces a big curve is not so effective in a world series, because he must pitch on the plate about all of the time to be of great use, and he isn’t likely to do so. When his curves hreak over the plate they can be batted like any other curves that are the product of an overarm motion. Overarm pitchers. as a rule, do not “get much” on the ball. It is the pitcher who snaps his wrist who “get something” on the ball. Shocker did not look a bit good as a world series’ pitcher in 1926. He can't make his style win for him without something more than motion and placement. There is too little oppor- tunity to work a batter in a world series game. If a pitcher dares waste two balls it is only because he has got the first strike against the batter on the first pitched ball. When the worlds series combatants charge into the fray, make your men- tal notes on the performances of Pen- nock, Hoyt and Moore. If they slip, falter or fall headlong, Miller Hug- gins will no doubt have to watch an- other world series pennant flap its way | into the camp of the National League. NO DOUBLE-HEADER WITH CHISOX HERE THURSDAY ‘Washington will play a double- header on turday with the Chicago White Sox Instead of Thursday, as previously announced. The first game will start at 1:30 o’clock. Shriners will honor Cleark Griffith, president of the Washington Club, and it was felt that the program incident to this would make it some- what difficult to stage a double- header. Permission of President Ban Johnson has been obtained to play the two games Saturday.
