The A's may claim an advantage first basemen, with Jimmy Foxx outhitting Jim Bottomley by about 30 points, but the Cardinal left-hander can at least hold his own on the de- fense. Neither measures up to the superlative standard set this year among first-sackers by Bill Terry of the Giants, slumps in the latter part of the season. Jimmy Dykes, if he reproduced his 1929 form in the coming battle, would be considered superior to Earl (Sparky) Adams, his Cardinal rival, but talkative Jimmy has not had an especially good year.

OSTON, September 26.— While the Nationals now have won as many games this season as they needed for their first American League pennant in 1924—a total of 92 games—without getting better than second place in the race, their 1930 standing makes their record as good as that of any other club in the circuit for first division finishes in the last 19 seasons. 8ince Clark Griffith assumed charge ,| of the Washington Club in 1912, it has completed the campaign in the first division 13 times. Only the New York Club has done as well. Back of the Nationals and Yankees the Indians show the best record for first division finishes in the last 19 sea- sons. They have made the select group 11 times. Then come the Tigers, a second division lot this year, who have l:un among the first four clubs 10 times g champions, L aave over this 19 season stretch achieved the first division but nine times. Tied for sixth place for first division finishes over the same stretch are the Browns and the Red Sox. Each club has been among the elite of the American League seven times. The White Sox have not moved so well, having been in the 19 :'er:‘aom first division finishers but six es. All the Washington Club’s first divi- sion finishes in its 30 years in the American League have come since the man now its 'nt was made man- ager before the start of the 1012 race. Looks as_ though Griffith must have done much to get the Nationals up in the base ball world.

As Bump looks at_it, however, he missed picking $500 in each of those five games he ;s not win, and each successive v’m found him gnnln: all the more. Which was of no help to Bump or his club. 'ONCENTRATING their attack upon Danny MacFayden in the sixth and seventh innings yesterday, the Nationals managed to turn in a 3-to-2 victory over the Red Sox and even the four-game series at the halfway point. They clustered five of their nine safe- ties and their lone pass in these two rounds for all their scoring. Ad Liska went the route against the Hub crew and was found for eight hits and three walks. Triples paved the way to the Red Sox tallies. One by Todt in the fifth frame was followed by Warstler's sacrifice fl{ to give the home side a temporary lead, and an- other Rothrock in the geventh was followed by Todt's sacrificé fly to put the club dangerously near the Nationals. Liska weakened in the ninth when he yielded two passes and a hit and the Red Sox had the sacks full with two out. Cronin, though, went back of sec- ond base for a nifty one-hand scoop of Pinch-batter Small's hot one and chucked to Myer for a force ?lly that ended the battle. Had Small's drive gone through, two Red Sox runners robably would have crossed to lick the ationals. It was hit that hard. ICE'S single and Manush’s triple in the sixth frame netted the Na- tionals their first run. Manush tried to score after Rothrock bagged shlres; holst ll?ed nl:hf’x;‘ de:pmrl.;:,ubuz a great peg nal einie at the . With one out in the seventh Hayes singled and Spencer walked.

The banner play of the game, however, was made by Art Shires. In the first inning Oliver, first up for the Red Sox, smote a wicked one toward right field. Shires, diving, barely managed to block the ball and without recovering his feet hurled to Liska for the retirement at the initial sack. The play stamped Art as the fighting fielder he is.

Radio and Classified PAGE D-1 Griffs Tie League Mark : Cards Nearer to Pennant CHICUBS STALL OFF END ANOTHER DAY One More St. Louis Victory or a Chicago Defeat Will Decide Race. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer, NLY one game now stands between the St. Louis Cardinals and their third National League pennant in five seasons. They got back into action at home yesterday and beat Pittsburgh, 9 to 0. Chicago, managed by Rogers Hornsby, defeated Cincinnati, 4 to 3. One more St. Louis victory or one defeat for the Cubs will settle the struggle. If Chicago wins its remaining games against the Reds and the Cards lose three to Pittsburgh, the season will end in a tie with a three-game play- off to decide the pennant winner. As the veteran spitballer Burleigh Grimes held the Pirates'to seven hits, the St. Louis batters collected a dozen effctive blows. Taylor Douthit, one of the few sur- vivers of the champion Cardinals of 1926, opened the action with a_double and scord the first run on Frisch's single. Then, with Adams and Frish still on base, Jim Bottomley hammered a home run over the right fild pavilion to give the Cards a 4-to-0 lead. The Cubs rt against Cinein- nati, but the Reds proved troublesome. Hornsby, who became active manager just before the game, sent young Bud Teachout to the mound, and the youth- ful southpaw did well for eight frames. Home runs by English and Hartnett in the first two innings started the Cubs off ahead and a few more timely blows gave Chicago a 4-1 lead going into the ninth. But then Tony Cuccinello drove his second home run of the day over the left field wall. Harry Heilmann duplicated the wallop and Ford singled before Pat Malone was hurried in to save the game. The American League champions, the Philadelphia Athletics, played six in- nings against the New York Yankees before rain halted the game. They piled up 17 hits off Ruffing and Johnson and a 13-to-3 score. Lou Gehrig's forty-first home run, made in the first inning, accounted for all the Yankee runs. ;| The Chicago-Detroit game was rained out, bringing a double-header for to- MOrTow.
