PAGE 25 Griffs Face Scrappy Indians Tomorrow: McArdle Plans Light-Heavy Tournament GRIFFS FIND PECK’S PACK BAD MEDICINE THIS YEAR Tribe Has Trounced Johnson Band Soundly Here And in Cleveland—Weak on Slab and at Bat, Nats Are Defeated by Chisox, 6 to 4. BY JOHN B. KELLER. U NABLE to make any headway against the White Sox the past few days, the Nationals are likely to find the going even rougher in the battling with the Indians, due to open a four- game series in Grifith Stadium, tomorrow afternogn. The Tribe has spanked Johnson’s charges rather easily thus far, having won a dozen of the,18 game: Peck’s pack has trimme here this season. Of the 11 engag took 7. They have appeared h s played with them. dpthye Nationals both in Cleveland and ements on Dunn Field the Indians ere ih 7 tilts and triumphed 5 timfes. In July, when the Tribe was here last, it swept a three-game series. Plenty of trouble ahead for the Nationals, it seems. The Cleveland outfit is likely to be full of fight in the final set of the campaign with the Nationals. It still is struggling to land the | third money in the league race. The Indians are in third place now, but with only a scant lead over the Browns. | Every time the Washington club has & chance to get anywhere in the scrap- ping for the top berth of the second division these days it is unable to take advantage of it. With the Tigers, pres- ent occupants of fifth place, idling in New York yesterday because of rain, Johnson’s band could have tied them with a victory over the White Sox. In- stead the Nationals were defeated. 6 to 4, and now are a full game behind the Harris horde. Jones Hard Hit. ‘The Nationals had neither pitching nor hitting with which to subdue the White Sox in the third encounter of the series. Sam Jones, who started on the rubber for the home side, was socked freely, and took a licking before he gave way to Lloyd Brown in the seventh inning. Jones had been nicked for nine safeties, and one of the two hits the Sox got off the relieving left- hander salted the game for them. Ed Walsh, jr., did the flinging for the visitors, and made a good job of it. allowed but six safeties, and spread them over five innings. That the Nationals were able to get as many as four runs ‘was due to Walsh’s wildness mainly. He issued six passes, and three of these ‘were converted into tallies. Pive Nationals shared in the making of the six hits, Joe Judge accounting for two. The White Sox attack was better distributed, seven of the nine members of the Chicago line-up driving the ball to safety. Walsh played a prominent part in his club's offensive, twice singling after two were out to drive over runs. Willie Kamm, with two triples and a two-bagger, also starred in the' visitors’ attack. while Bill Cissell fired a homer into the sun parlor back | of left field. . | Sox Win in Seventh. For a time the Nationals made & con- | test of the affair. They railiet- fourth innifig after two were out to re- duce the White Sox lead to one run, and in the sixth inning put over a tying tally. But in the seventh the Sox at- tacked sharply and drew well ahead of the home side. The Nationals ex- pended a deal of effort in their half of tm':edwnth to get back one marker, then There was tallying by the White Sox in the first two rounds. One was out in the opening session when Cissell lofted the ball into the left-field stand and trotted around the runway. Kamm began the second session with a three- bagger. He remained on third and watched Cronin heave out Hoffman and | Myer get under Kerr's pop. But after Berg drew a pass Walsh bounced the ball far above the pitcher's head and made first before Myer could get the ball there, This let Kamm's crossing count. There was scoring by both sides in the fourth. For the White Sox Kerr doubled with one gone and took third as Berg ‘was reureg when it seemed Hayes, who had picked up Moe's grounder, might have trapped Johnny on the line. Kerr was caught flat-footed betwesn second and third, but Hayes after a bluff at the runner heaved to first base. Then Walsh whacked a single—a sharp one o center this time—and the White Sox | had their third run. | Griffs Start Late. One was out in the Washington fourth when Myer walked. After West went out Tate also strolled to first base. A single by Cronin put Myer over the counting block, and another by Hayes sent Tate home. The rally ended when Jones forced out Hayes. The way to the tying run that was made in the sixth was paved when Myer opéned the by beating out a grounder to Shires, reaching first just ahead of Walsh, who crossed to get the throw. |’ West, sacrificed gnd a wild pitch moved Buddy to third. "After Tate walked Cro- nin’s long sacrifice hoist scored Myer. ‘Then the Sox put over their big at- tack. Metzler began the visitors’ sev- enth with a single and checked in at second when Cissell was erased. Rey- nolds singled Metzler home and went to third when Shires hit a one-baser that brought Brown to Jones’ relief. Kamm nicked Brown for # two-bagger which chased over two more markers, But Willie was caught when he at- tempted to take third on the throw-in, | Judge made a nifty cut-off of the heave | and hurried the ball to Hayes to get Kamm. Brown started the making of Wash- ington’s last run when he walked at the outset of the home seventh. Kerr speared Judge's wicked liner, but Rice's double sent Brown to third, from where He | | he tallied after Reynolds bagged Goslin’s loft. Nationals and White Sox clash this afternoon for the last time this vear. Bob Burke was expected to hurl for | the Johnson band and Harold McKain | for the visitors. Land, the outfielder bought from Gadsden, reported to the Nationals yes- terday. He's a slender fellow, nearly 6 feet tall, who bats and throws left- handed. He says he batted .342 for Gadsden and led the Georgia-Alabama League with 32 stolen bases this year. A sprained ankle let him get into but games. Land is 22 years old, and a native of Geiger, Ala. He had a trial with Mem- phis in 1926, and the same year played with Tupelo of the Dixie Tri-State League. The past two years he was in semi-pro ranks. He played under the name of William Gill Land at Gadsden, but says his real name is Doc B. Land. Andy Moore, outfielder bought not so long ago from Birmingham, is not to wear a Washington uniform after all. Scout Engel, who saw Moore in action recently, told President Griffith he did not think the youngster ready as yet for a big league trial, and the Wash- ington prexy was able to arrange with the Barons to cancel the purchase. | _ Paul McCullough, pitcher farmed to | Birmingham while the Nationals were | touring the West in July, returned to |the Washington club yesterday. Me- Cullough did not fare so well with the Barons. He was handicapped by a sore arm, he says. I BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS l American League YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. Chicago. 8; Washington, 4.

ITHOUT much doubt, Guy Bush of the Chicago Cubs will be the king of the Na- tional League pitchers this year. He may not hold his pace to the finish, but indications are more in his favor than against it. One of the younger pitchers who have come on satisfactorily is Ray Moss of Brooklyn. games as the veterans, but for a young- ster his record is excellent, and he has a chance to improve it. Burleigh Grimes of Pittsburgh should run next to Bush. The Pirate pitcher has been less successful since he re- turned to the game after his injury. ‘That often follows in pitching. A pitcher will do remarkably well, be hurt, lose his swing for & few days, and find that it will take him another 10 days to get back to the condition in which he had been prior to being injured. Charlie Root of Chicago will be among be kept away from it. It is not alto- gether the strength of his team that is keeping him up,-becpuse his skill has returned to him this year, so that he is about as artistic as ever. All Cubs Near Top. Hal Carlson of Chicago has not been in enough games to be considered a leader -among pitchers, but his record will be good; very good, in fact, if he can hold it at its present ratio until the end of the season. Naturally all.of the Cubs' pitchers will be near the top of league if they have been in the least successful, be- cause they have the strength of their team to help them out. Even Sheriff Blake, who got a bad start, has balanced his account so that he is about a 50-50 pitcher. Many think he is much better fthan that in skill, despite his lack of One of the surprises of the league is ich Johnny Morrison of ‘Brooklyn. He is much more of a welcome surprise than Vance. © Morrison once was a h pitcher, and was let go didn’t observe the rules of PTCHNG CROWN Bush Quite Sure to Finish on| He has not been in as many | the top-notchers.

His Nation-wide popularity was | born recently when a humorous sadio announcer told the whole country that Campion had a big supply of world series passes. - Immediately telephone calls, wires and letters’ from fans begging for the precious ducts began to arrive. One optimis- tic, but uninformed individual offer- ed to take a dozen passes off Cam- plon’s hands. All this despite the fact that plans !urdthe series have not yet been made, phia is almost sure to be young Wesley Ferrell of Cleveland, His triumph is |one of the best of any young pitcher in recent years. There is one who has pitched so consistently with so little major league experience, and he has every indication of becoming one of the king pitchers of all time. The reason for that is his splendid start in his first year of service. His success, of course, will establish the Cleveland club as possible pennant winner in the Ameri can League in 1930. CONNIE MACK’S DAUGHTER WILL ENTER A CONVENT PHILADELPHIA, September 10 (#).— A long time friend of the Philadelphia Athletics, an enthusiastic ' fan who missed but few home games in recent years, will not see the Mackmen in world series play—even 4f they run true to the dope and win the pennant. The 18-year-old fan is Mary O. Mc- Gillicuddy, eldest daughter of Connie Mack, boss of Athletics. She has entered & convent, it was announced to- day, with the intention of a nun. Until recently Miss McGillicuddy and her sisters and brothers always occupled :.he family box back of the dugout when he Athletics were at home.

OE McCARTHY'S Chicago Cubs set forth today ih quest of eight more victories, 2ll they need clinch the 1929 National League . pennant. Thirteen games ahead of the second- place.

The two leaders each chalked up victories yesterday, the Cubs nosing out Boston, 4 to 3, and Pittsburgh outslug- ging Brooklyn, 9 to 7. Percy Lee Jones appeared to have the Cubs stopped, 2-0, until the seventh when Hack Wilson hit his thirty-sev- enth homer with one on_to tie the score. Then after the Braves had scored one in the ninth, Stephenson's ‘Tolson's single and Taylor's double gave the Cubs two runs and the . Jones gave only 8 hits to 11 or the Braves off Charlie Root.

BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN, Outstanding Contender for the Heavywelght Championship of the World. 8 OME time ago in an interview I named Harry Greb as the best fighter I had ever met. It sur- prised a lot of people that I rated him ahead of Gene Tunney, sec- ond on my list. Gene was a good boxer and a sharp hitter, but was entirely mechanical and lacked interest in the game. Everything he did in the ring had the stamp of the machine. On the other hand, Greb was one of the greatest natural fighting men the game ever saw. No one ever had a more inexhaustible supply of stamina. He could go at top speed through an entire fight and never tire. When you con- sider that he went through the last three or four years of his life blind in his left eye and still was enough to whip almost everyone. he faced, you to get an idea what a marvel he really was. He should have been a tar- get for a righ-hand punch under such circumstances, but he never was. Didn’t Need Cleverness. Greb wasn't clever in the every-day sense. He didn't have to be, for he flailed away with both hands all the time, punching, cuffing, slapping, heel- ing, gouging. You never saw as many gloves in your life as you did when you were in the ring with Harry. He wasn't a knockout puncher, because he never set himself for a wallop. He simply overwhelming his opponents with a flood of blows. Greb didn’t lose more than half a dozen decisions in three or four hundred fights, and was knocked out only once— by Joe Chip when he was just break- ing into the game. No one ever came close to stopping him again. I fought Greb six times. No one developed a greater appreciation of his peculiar ability than I. Though he was only a middleweight, he took on the | biggest fellows without the least fear. | One of the brightest spots in my whole | record is a decision I hold over him. He took one from me, though I thought | I really won that, too, and the others were no-decision affairs, If Harry could come back from the grave in full possession of his remark- able faculties, he would be the man for me to whip before getting the heavy- weight title. Dempsey wanted none of him when Jack was champion of the world, and Greb gave Tunney a terrific beating the first time they met. What a man he was! He Needed Speed. His style, though, is not one for the average boxer to adopt. It could be successfs the Speed is a great asset. I've been tuning mine up for the fuss with Sharkey. I am confident I can outpace him, but with the speed I'm aiming to get more dynamite into my right hand. Boy, I'm just like a restless colt, wait- for September 26. It's going to be the biggest day of my life. I fought the best fight of my career up to then against Jimmy Braddock. I'm going to fight a better one against Jack Sharkey, because there is even | more at stake, and I can key myself to a higher pitch when the stake is big.

Some who have followed them all sea- son believe that, if the Mackmen win, Earnshaw will be the hero among th twirlers.

You cannot tell from what & man has done during the sea- son how he may perform in the post- season classic. That is why it so often happens that some player little consid- ered emerges the most shining star. ‘The fact that a differepec of thou- sands of dollars may hang on each ball pitched, hit or fielded, gives some men financial paralysis and stirs others to play high above any usual form. So- called “money players” do their stuff when the stakes are highest. Among_great money pitchers were such as Dinneen, Matty, Brown, Ben- | notk, Wood, Walsh, Rudolph and Hoyt. Speaker, Hooper, Lewis, Herzog, Col- |lins, Baker, Gowdy, Evers, Chance, | Jones, Combs. Wiltse, Stengel and Car- rigan have all played great world series ball. So has Gehrig. Ruth, perhaps, is the greatest money player of all. Hornsby certainly will be of use to a team in the big series. To prove that, you might look back and see what St. Louis did with him and without him against the Yankees. Cuyler should do well. *So should Simmons and Foxx of the Athletics. As for Dykes, he is a bofn fighter. Micky Cochrane is capable of rising to great heights. A lot will depend upon which team takes the first game. With four games necessary to win, one game means a fourth of the distance. That is a big handicap to spot an opponent. t is largely for,this reason that, if the series starts in the West, Chicago will be the betting favorite. Joe Mc- Carthy's team always has been strong- est at home. The Athletics, a green team from & series standpoint, will undergo that tension which always ac- companies a first game on foreign soil. It will not even be as though they were playing in the somewhat familiar White Sox grounds. The Cub park will be & totally new battle ground to the in- vaders and the old Illinois home to the defenders. Moreover, the crowd naturally will be largely pulling for the home team. This, then, will be a place for courage and fighting spirit to show. 1If, in the face of undoubted handicaps, the Mack- men take that first contest, they not 55 | only will be a considerable distance on their way, but they will have shaken more than a bit the morale of their opponents.
