Yankee Set Apt to Decide Place Battle : Grove Makes Record for Southpaws GRIFFS' BIG CHANCE IN NEW YORK TILTS Series Likely to Bristle With Action—Tigers Are Beaten in Twelfth. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ATTLING bitterly as they B are, Nationals and Yankees are not likely to settle their argument over possession of second place at the finish of the American League race until they clash in their four-game series in New York next week. Although sluggish at bat right now the Johnson band seems capable of carrying on well at the expense of the West while the Clan Mc- Carthy apparently has nothing to worry about for several days. But there should be fight and furore in that quartet of tilts in Yankee Stadium. The brushes in New York are to be next Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, with two the last day. Thursday Col. Jake Ruppert's big base ball plant will be given over to charity, with the Glants meeting the Yankees and the Dodgers in a twin bill that should attract plenty of customers. Yankee Stadium has been no hos- mm this season so far as the af are conocerned. seven games there they have trium) but twice. They won the first e they ste] into it this r, then waited until their last visit lick the again. But with so much apt to b stake Johnson's chAr(;l are not lkely 1o be the marks they have besn in New York. «It will be their big chance .to second ©op. A of the club in v.g.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, September 19.—By | way of keeping interest alive in | ‘what remains of the American Assoclation season, Pat Craw- ford, Columbus first baseman, and George Davis, St. Paul outfielder, are waging s nip-and-tuck struggle for the home run title of the organization. They have been close all season, with | Crawford usually having a slight edge, but they were tied today with 26 cirouit | drives apiece.

There seems to be no middle course for pep. Last year the Athletics won their pennant by 102 games to 92 for the St. Louis team. So far this year the Athletics have 101 victories and the Cardinals 97.

BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. T'S been a poor day this week when the major leagues have not provided some sort of ex- citement. In the short space of four days, both pennants have been clinched beyond further ar- gument and two American League stars have set new all-time in- | dividual player records. Robert Moses Grove, great southpaw of the champion Phila- delphia Athletics, became the sec- ond record-breaker in two days yesterday, when he pitched his thirtieth victory of the year at the expense of the Chicago White Sox, 3 to 1. Earl Webb of Boston had broken the all-time mark for two-baggers the previous day. Grove is the first southpaw in the history of the American League to achieve 30 triumphs in a single season and the first in either league to accom- lish that feat in the current century, e last major league pitcher to reach Grove's present mark was Jim Bagby, & right-hander, who scored 31 victories for Cleveland in 1920, F he does not pitch another game, Grove’s present record of 30 wins and only 3 defeats for s winning for the year.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER: T would make hard work for sub- marines, airships and whatnot to try to find just where the many different species of fish in Chesa- peake Bay and its tributaries went after the recent northeast storm. Perhaps they went into some deep holes not yet Coast and Geodetic Survey. For the past two weeks they had been conspicu- | ous by their absence. They just eould not be located. However, this week re- ports indicate that the fish are return- ing to their normal habits—that of tak- ing the different lyres offered them. In salt water heavy winds and rain stop the fish from biting, and in fresh water it is mostly the muddy water. The Potomac and Shenapdoah Rivers at Harpers Ferry are both reported very cloudy today. The Potomac at Great Falls also is cloudy. This condition at Great Palls was caused by the heavy rains of Wednesday night. Last Sunday anglers fishing around the Falls landed a good number of bass, the two largest reported weighing 3 and 3% pounds. ‘The Shenandoah at Riverton, Va. near Front Royal, is reported clear and bass biting freely. & REPORT from Martinsburg, W. Va., states that fishing conditions in the streams of the Eastern Pan- handle of the South Branch are the best they have been this season. The Shenandoah has cleared up nicely, ae- cording to the report. and some excels lent catches reported. It is the first time the river has been clear this sea- son. The fish are unusually good size, anglers attributing it to the fact that the streams have not been fished. The South Branch at Romney is at normal stage and in fine fishing condition. At Moorefleld the South Fork is clear and in good fishing condition, The Bouth Branch Is slightly muddy.
