September 3.—Vic Ald- ridge. hero of the world series of 1935. will do the rest of his right-handed pitching this vear for Walter Johnson's Newark club of the International League. The Hoosier schoolmaster. traded on an even-up basis for Burleigh Grimes during the Spring, was released to New- ark on option yesterday by John Mec- Graw. manager of the New York Giants. A hold-out after the trade, Aldridge failed to report ‘to MecGraw until late in Mav and has failed to pitch winning ball since. His record shows four victories ano seven defeats and only three complete games. Grimes, on the other hand, has won 22 games for Pittsburgh and has worked in more innings than any other major league pitcher. Aldridge’s passing to Newark puts the two outstanding pitching heroes of the 1925 world series on the same club. Johnson, now manager of Newark, won two games and lost one in that gruel- ing struggle. Aldridge won two, keeping Pittsburgh in the fight when the Pirates seemed destined to quick and decisive defeat In the final game when the Pirates beat Johnson and wen the world title. Ald- ridge was the starting pitcher, but was so badly off form that he lasted less than an inning. He allowed two hits. walked three men and made two wild pitches before he was removed from the box after one was out in the first inning. Morrison, Kremer and Oldham fol- lowed him to the box.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, September 3.-As the major league teams pass in review in the Labor day double-headers, most, fans are looking ahead to next week, when the Athletics meet the Yankees in their final series of the season With only a hairline separating the two teams today in the fight for the Americhin League pennant, the Ath- letics are staking all their hopes—or almost. all—on the final series of four games with New York. This includes ! a double-header on September 9. An even break with New York will not do the Athletics one ounce of good If that is all they can do against the Yankees. the Philadelphians will have to win the pennant by making sausage out of some other club or clubs. The only possible way that the Athletics might win by means of an even break would be to have the Yankees lose heavily to at least three other teams. 0dds Still With Yanks. Of course, so long as the race is as close as it is now there will be eager curfosity to see what may happen, but from the standpoint of the percentage figures, the odds are still with the Yankees. When the Yanks are defeat- ed more times than the Athletics by at least three games, it will be time to ioll the bell for New York. It is probable that Hoyt and Pipgras will be the mainstays of the New York pitching staff until the close of the season, although Pennock will pitch |again. He is positive that his arm is | not. permanently injured and so is the doctor who has had charge of it. It was a peculiar sore arm.” Pen- nock said. “The pain wasn't located in any one spot. It was all over my arm from the wrist up. I never had any- thing like it before.” Some believe that the 15-inning game which Pennock pitched on the last Western trip was too much for him If he were not a thoughtful, scientific pitcher, it might have been, but Pen- | nock pitches with rare judgment. If Wiley Moore should come to life and pitch some winning games for the Yankees at the last moment for the second time. he would be the grand old life-saver of the team Some Wrong Guesses. Now that the 1928 world serfes is in the ofing and base ball approaches its annual eclipse, the story of two pitchers is interesting. In the world series of 1927 Pipgras of the Yankees distinguished himself by | winning a game while the managers of | the National League—some of them at least—sat in the stands and observed that they “couldn't see him." It is apparent now that they didn't see him because without Pipgras the Yankees would not have made the fight that they have for the pennant. His full score of victories has kept the Yankees in the race against the rising flood of Philadelphia scrapple The other pitcher is John Miljus. He went to the relief of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1927 world series and did so well that the National League man- agers looked upon him as nne pitcher whom they would have to fear all dur- ing the 1928 season. True. he pitched Pittsburgh out of the world series by a wild pitch, but that was not consid- ered as necessarily a protracted illness Milijus seemed to be good in Spring practice this year, but his record for | Pittsburgh was three games lost to St | Louts, one won from Cincinnati, one won and one lost against Chicago, tvo won from Boston, one won from New Y‘nrh :lr:d one lost to Brooklyn. On the strength of that showing. Pittsburs decided that Miljus would not m\‘nfi: released him by waiver contract. sales price and all. to Cleveland The moral to the story it no differ- ent from any other base ball mor: The interest to it is that the National League managers guessed bath of those pitchers exactly wrong.

Va. begin- ning October 9. In the week intcrven- ing the tournament of the Professional Golfer's Association will be held The pro event, by the way. probablv is the most interesting of the many tournaments held in the bunkered land It hasn't yet attained the national prominence that the open and the amateur have reached. but. it won't, be long before the professional match play event becomes one of the most impor- tant fixtures, even if it isn’t so consid- ered now. In the first place, the pros seldom have an opportunity to attempt. to_cut each other’s throats at match play And in the second place the way they go at the delightful business of tossing each other out of the tournament is a vevelation to the “Merry Christmas” idea which dominates many of the amateur events. Nothing in golf is more ruthless and relentless than a winner in the matches in the profes- sional tourney. No quarter is given and none asked. Yes. the forthcoming fournament the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country Club will be one of the moasi engaging spectacles in a golf way ever seen in the midatlantic sector.

Harrison “Jimmy" Johnston. one of the new members of the Ameri- can Walker Cup team, is a master of the low mashie to the green from 50 to 150 yards off. Johnston hits them with unerring accuracy and judges their “bite” so well that he is frequently left with a one-putt hole This shot is the diicult push shot which no kolfer wants to tackle un- less he has a great deal of time to practice. Any mashie shot needs lots of practice. This one even more Jimmie" uses a narrow stance and plays the ball off his right foot In order to insure hitting it down- ward. He closes the face of the mashie, instead of opening it, as is done for the pitch. He uses a full swing for the long one and a half swing for the 50-yarder. The ball 18 hit down into the turf and forced straight ahead. This pound into the turf gives it tremendous bite. You'd think it would go bouncing over the green. Instead it takes hold quickly Johnston is one of the few masters of it in American golf To cure & habit of slicing you must first learn the cause.

The ecleventh, he says. leoks harder and longer than it really is, while the fourteenth he dismisses with the statement that the second shet ix the really trying shot. The ninth, on the other hand. demands twe, not one. reaily fine shots. Because so many members were absent from the city, events at. Argyle, Beaver Dam and Manor Club had ta be delayed until today. A temporary green about 20 fards short of the regular green is in use at the fourth hole at Columbia while the regula; putting surface is being torn up and rebuilt. This green, constructed only last Spring. faded quickly before the brown patch and the hot sun, and the greens' force. despairing of bringing it back, decided to rebuild it. Some discussion is going the rounds at Indian Spring regarding the pro- jected reiocation of the eighteenth green at a spot about half way between the present green and the present first tee. The contention is made that the green is protected from prevailing winds by the bulk of the clubhouse buildings. and consequently is more apt to be open | to the attack of brown patch. If placed | farther from the houses, those in faver of the relocation helieve the brown patch | eould be thwarted. The fact is that the eighteenth is the only green at Indian Spring which has suffered in any appreciable degree from brown patch, and it has net heen severely attacked, due to quick preven- tive measures. Under the plan. the first tee would be moved south and east and the hole converted into a slight dog-lex affair. It isn't every golf course that has a home grown commissary within a chip shot of one of the greens. even in the 200d old Summertime. It's apple fime now in Virginia and golfers of Wash- ington Golf and Country Club leok forward to other things than birdies when they tee off at the sixteenth. For only.20 yards from the edge of the six- teenth green grows a fine apple tree. The fruit is ripe just now and the sea- son for apples is on. It's not an unfamiliar injunction nowdays to hear members of & four- some delegate one of the caddies to go over to get a handful of fruit on which the will munch while the senteenth and eightesnth. And gelf is not such a bad game, even in the heat of such days as those in the mid- dle of last week. when such fine fruit as that afforded by this tree at Wash- ingten is forthcoming.
