SPORTS, THE EVE STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, S DAY, Sk SPORTS. Nationals Are Battling Yankees in New York Today in Vital Double-Header RUNNER-UP MARGIN CUT T0 HALF GAME Homers Beat Johnson’s Men. Play Red Sox Tomorrow as Rivals Face A’s. By & Special Correspondent of The Star. EW YORK, September “'_i The battle for second place | in the American League ‘will be decided today, when the Washington Senators and the New York Yankees engage in 2| double-header at the Yankee Stadium. Still leading by half a | game, the Nats are securely en- trenched in a fine position, since | the Yanks meet the pennant-win- | ning A’s on Sunday in their final | game, while the Nats play the sec- | ond-division Boston Red Sox. | After yesterday's deluge of home runs at the Yankee Stadium you may | take it from the Senators that there | ought to be a filibuster of heroic pro- | portions against homers. After the Nats | were apparently safe behind a 3-2 lead | in the eighth ifining the flood of four- | base clouts from the bats of Babe Ruth | and Earl Combs, coupled with a dis- | astrous error by Sam Rice, gave the | New Yorkers six runs, more than| enough to win the ball game, 8-3. | l N fact, there were entirely too many homers all around. Two of the Senators three runs came directly as the result of a circuit hit by Joe | Kuhel in the second, when Harris was | on first. In addition, the first two | Yankee runs were homers, Herb Pen- | nock, New York pitcher, hittinj { in the third and Ruth slamming out his | first of the game in the sixth. Luckily, | there was no one on base on both | these occasions, but the McCarthymen | made up for this plenty when the eighth came. | That error of Sam Rice's, like Vernon Gomez's error in the first game of the series on Wednesday, was the turn- ing point of the contest. True, the scqre was tied at 3-3, but two men were out and the Ni had at least| one more chance at bat. But the bungle spoiled all chances. | It was undoubtedly overanxiousn: on the part of Rice that accounted ;; the error, and he probably wouldn't do it again in the ne)&g hundred chances. But it came at psycho- ;onul moment and the damage was one. . It happened this way: rmrrenuu: had homer to the right field bleachers to tie up the score, Gehrig ground- ed out, Chapman walked and Dickey singled to center field. Marberry suc- ceeded Crowder In the box and ap- arently had the situation well in hand, it Late oot & oG n sent a long, to left fleld and Rice dfln‘m fllz move more a foot to get under it. He dropped it, however, and both Chap- man and Dickey scored. After that Pennock singled and Lazzeri and Combs hit a homer to deep left center and Pennock tallied the sixth run. General Crowder pitched good ball up to the disastrous eighth, and though he allowed eight hits, he kept them well scattered. Also, the Nats found Pennock often and early, accounting for 13 safeties, but these, too, did not come with any degree of collectiveness. Still, the cause is not yet lost. Today, Irving Hadley will make the first attempt to turn back the Yanks and he may be followed by either Carl Fischer or Sam Jones, Lioyd Bown and Marberry are also ready to serve in case Telief is needed. NEW MACK PITCHER IS FLASHY STARTER Krausse, Just Out of High School, Holds Red Sox to Four Hits and Wins Debut, 7-1. By the Associated Press. Only one game other than that be- tween Washington and New York was played in the major leagues yesterday, &nd that revealed that Philadelphia’s Athletics have another good pitcher who had not been counted on. Lew Krausse, an 18-year-old youngster, who was graduated from the Media, Pa., High School in 1930, made his debut as & major league starting pitcher by hold- ing the Boston Red Sox to four hits and winning, 7 to 1. A two-base error by Dykes and a passed ball gave the Sox their only run, while the champions gmmded Durham and Lisenbee for 11 ":u, bunching them in two three-run Chicago-St. Louls American League game was rained out, giving the teams two successive double-headers to wind up the season. No cther major league clubs had games scheduled. Alexandria Notes ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 26— Bill Hammond has booked a game for his Pirate A.

Newcomers Given Break by Cards YORK, September 26(C.P.A.) ional League team have agreed to divide their world senles spoils share and share alike. Thavs fine. This custom has not always pre- vailed. On some teams in the past there has been a clique of old-timers who have had the majority vote and have divided the money in a selfish way. ‘They hogged it by voting each of their crew a full share and splitting up another share or two with some of the poor kids, who came in late. It has happened two or three times that had it not been for the newcomers the pennant would not have been won and their teams would not have had a chance to play in the world series. One ball game may decide any pennant race and when a chap does more than his share to win that game he is as much en- titled to get in the general division as anybody else. BARONS TAKE TITLE IN UPHILL STRUGGLE Houston's Three Pitching Aces Beaten in Succession for Dixie Dizmond Honors. By the Associated Press. HOUSTON, Tex, September 26— ‘The Birmingham Barons of the Southern Association held the Dixie base ball series champlonship today by virtue of a 6-to-3 victory over the Houston Buffaloes, Texas League champions, under the lights here last night. ‘With the series standing 3 to 1 against | them early this week, the Barons came out of a batting slump to win three successive games. In doing so they dis- posed of a trio of pitchers regarded as the class of the Texas League hurling corps—Dick McCabe, George Washing- ton Payne and Dizzy Dean. ‘The Barons climaxed their rally last night by beating Dean, who had been notified but two days before that he was to join the St. Louis Cardinals at the close of the series. The Southern Association club found Dean for 10 hits, staging a large ninth inning of three Tuns. Dean's support was erratic. He| | struck out the first three men to face | him in the opening game, but was in | | trouble at many stages of the game. | | His Houston teammates collected | nits from Bob Hasty, Birmingham | | hurler, but were unable to group their | | blows so well. | 'The series marked the third victory | for the Southern Association team in 12 years.

BY TOM E calm, children, Large Mr. Billiam Tilden, who comes here to meet the stoutish Mr. Vinnie Richards tomor- | |row is not as uppish as he used [to be when snubbing his way through the amateurs. It is libelous to say that Big Bill actually tweaked his nose at the gal- leries. But what Mr. Big Bill did do was to go slightly hay-wire at times and become piqued at noisy telegraph instruments, nosey reporters and gab- bing grandmas in the gallery. And who is there to say that the Quakerman from Philadelphia was not doing even as you and I? But times have chan, and Bill's attitude changed with his status. When a cash customer sees a part of his roll going into Bil's hind pocket he thinks it gives him license to chirp a few re- marks. And Bill thinks likewise, that makes things lovely. ) So far as Mr. Richards. is concerned it makes no difference. Vinnie has been & pro so long he walks into the gallery belween rests and starts an argument with the peanut venders. But there was a time, not long ago, when Bill found tennis gal- leries a little tough. And even our Helen had trouble with them. Bill and Helen gathered quite & crop of left-hand cheers. They hande Large William a wreath of T~ ries, festooned with thorns and ice picks. Our Helen won the fish-eye glare often. ‘Those galleries were like friends from Scotland when it came to banding out applause.

But you'll like these pro tennis And youwll like their game, tco. a more spectacular one than the simon- pures give out. Not a better one, un- derstand, because Large Bill gave you a game as an amateur which nobody will excel. But the pros do play for the gallery. There’s nothing slow about their ac- tion.

That Clark Griffith’s days in Cin- cinnatj are drawing to a close is seen in the fact that the Cincy club has omitted his name from its reserve list.

He can become aroused and hot- bad decision has gone against his team. He will back up his own men to the limit, but Gabby has been around long head and calm judgment prevail. When Sam Breadon, the Cardinal president, was asked why he engaged Street as manager, he replied quickly: “‘Because I believe he is just the man to give us a winner. He knows base ball through and through, is smart, a hustler and the game is his main interest in life. The players like him and respect him. He was glad to get the job. So it was unanimous.” Street runs his club on the field with a minimum of waste effort. He has it well organized. In fact, he considers his present job easier than many of the managing assignments he had in the minors. “The difference is I don't have to show these fellows how to play ball,» explained Gabby. “Most of them have had long experience. They do the work and make my job easy for me.” It is characteristic of the old ser- geant not to claim credit for being a master mind. On occasion he can and does assert his authority. He showed no hesitancy last Spring in disciplining the youthful Dizzy Dean, who bears every promise of becoming in time one of ‘the game's greatest right-hand pitchers. Street doesn't believe in running a ball club by rule and regulation. reasons the players want to hold their Jjobs and do the best they can.
