Simmons clouted a homer to score Cochrane. and later singles by McNair and Dykes added another marker, and the Athletics were in the lead, 5 to 3, to stay.

CHICAGO, September 24.—I firm- ly believe the Cubs will beat the Yankees in the world series, chiefly through teamwork and spirit. These qualities played a major part in win- ning the National League title for us. They should gain us the world championship. No one not closely connected with the Cubs can appreciate the team- work characterizing the flag-winning play of our club this year. Through it we became suddenly a definite, driying force that could not be stopped short of a pennant. A college foot ball team never played with more dash and vigor, and with such evident enjoyment, as the Cubs in the last two months. A light-hitting team, dependent almost entirely on strong pitching to keep us in the pennant race at Records of Griffs BATTING. . R.

Timidity Topples Nationals More Polished Than Aggressive, Club Dotted With Stars Is Unable to Make Deserved Headway in Race. BY TOM ITH only a perfunctory piece of base ball busi- ness to be transacted to- morrow afternoon at | Griffith Stadium with Connie Mack’s now jubiliant second-place club, your Uncle Clark's grand Nationals will tuck away the glory and the shinplasters which come with third place, and roll home- | ward to think of things that might have been. For instance, those Grifflets should have had second place, and those 400 extra iron men which would have come with it. Don't ask me why they are not in sec- | | ond place, I want a reason for why | they are not in first place, instead of the Yanks. But if you were to insist, I might get Uncle Clark on my neck by tell- ing you that the whote outfit lacked aggressiveness. Any ball club that cannot climb up to the top perch with five sterling stars and a great defensive game, in an off year for £ood playing, is a timid outfit, or one that lacks a punch. The Griffs, from where I -sit, lack both a punch and fight. They lack color, yet have a flock of colorful indi- viduals on the team. Weaver, the sea son's prize rpokie; Gen. Crowder, one of the leading victory pitchers of the league: Cronin, base ball's best shortstop; Man- WALTER. JOKNSON ush, one 5f the five | leading batters in his league; Dave Harris, the game's ace pinch hitter, and Sam West, the peer of any out- fielder on the de- fense. And with all that sparkling timber the club teeters and wobbles.. goes up and then down all season long to get nosed out of second place by an outfit that has been suffering with internal difficulties from the start. Uncle Clark went into detail in de- scribing to me down there in old Biloxi one rainy afterncon why his ball club was as colorful as any in the league. He named his stars, and I agreed. But when it came to saying that the team as a_whole was colorful. Uncle Clark and I just could not get together on the matter. We agreed to disagree. Joe d | Judge stepped in to say that color was a lot of hooey manufactured by news- paper men and meant nothing to a ball club in the standings. But I'll stand pat on my original argument that a dab or two of flash ould have carried the Nationals to the top this year—where they belong. Color, to me. is fight, sp:rit, battle and aggressiveness. Lack of it is timidity, machine pre- cision on the defense and dull playing. That's only my view. Joe may be right in his estimation. Color may be hooey. But I'll go to see Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, Allen and Foxx any time in preference to seeing a lg;?lup of more polished ball player play Betwen you and me, Uncle's not satisfied with a third-place club. Neither is Walter Johnson. Uncle knows he must have a man next year who can pole a few over the fence to keep in the parade, and in the good graces | of the babies’ who spin the turnstiles. Uncle knows that. And Johnson is aware that his boys must_be aggressive. Though I have a hunch that Walter is not sold on the = l?;hfitp;‘lgnbuckwm :ndfllgmnlm ‘em & s more or less to team work rather than 6 | to individual effort. view, which I believe will be the one from which mine is patterned. Supressing individuality would have produced no Ruths, Gehrigs, Groves, E>rnstaws, Foxxs, Sipmonses and Pep- per Martins. It might have molded these gentlemen into important spots on & machine-like club. But it would i DOERER Your Uncle needs not only hitting at the top, but some at the bottom of his batting order next year. And he needs less timidity end pacifism in his generai attack. What Uncle needs to do. 0o, is to pat a few of his stars between the shoulder blades next Spring: and tell | them that they are the best in the busi- | ness. They need inspiration. For instance, among the pleasant | things Uncle can ponder over next | Winter are these: A first-place club that lacked the in- spiration to get out of third place. | Gen,_ Al Crowder's triumphant march through the early season, and his pull- | ing up today with 25 victories against 18 of last year. Monte Weaver's accumulation of 22 victories to make him the most prized rookie hurler in base ball for the year. | Joe Cronin’s superb defensive work— the greatest shoristop of the season; Heine Manush’s late hitting splurge | which carried him into the list of the | five leading hitters of his league; Dave | Harris' great pinch hitting, Sam West's 2nd Ossie Bluege's defensive work, and a decided improvement in hitting on | Joe Kuhel"s part. I like Uncle | Clark. his ball club | and both the atti-[* ‘t\xde of the man-|5 | agement and play- | ers toward clean playing. But I like the truth, too. And | Tm afraid the truth behind the | Griff’s inability to snare at least sec- | ond place in the | American League | is due to their tim- idity. They ought to have a kayo in both gloves. They haven't one in, either hand. | If there is something else which is causing the team, or individuals on the club, to lack consistency in piaying, Uncle ought to look up the reason. But I'm surprised_at the gossip which nominates Walter Johnson as the reason. Johnson, to my way of figuring, is @ loyal, honest base ball workman, who is trying to get the best out of the players for mot only the club’s benefit, but for the players themselves. He has his faults. But who hasn't? And there's no use throwing a cloak over this feeling that Johnson is to blame. Out-of-town newspapers have been printing pro and con stories upon the matter for a long while, it is gos- siped in the speaks, the cigar stores and down at the corner grocery. Il suggest that Uncle bring the matter out in the open and give it a good airing. I think Walter deserves it He may answer all of that within a few days by announcing that the signature of Walter Johnson has been written across a 1933 contract. GIRL IS GOLF CHAMPION.

EW YORK, September 24.—With the major league season due to end tomorrow, two league records have fallen, two marks for both major circuits are in danger and one of the batting races for an in- dividual crown remains in grave doubt. The Philadelphia Athletics, led by Jimmie Foxx, have clouted 170 home Tuns so far, passing the American League mark of 158 set by the New York Yankees a few years ago and just cne short of the Chicago Cubs’ major league mark. Foxx raised his total to 56 homers, just four short of Ruth's major league mark. Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates smashed a National League mark by clouting 61 doubles, two over the record set by Chuck Klein of the Phillies two years ago.

A world series rule states the case briefly and certainly: “A player released by a club to an- other club of the same league shall not participate in the proceeds of the series as a present or reward from his former teammates, the re- leasing club or any of its officials.” After the list was named today in New York, Joe McCarthy, manager of the American League champions, learned of the rule, and immediately wired Commissioner Kenesaw M.

BROWN SLAB STAR - AS YANKEES SCORE | Second-Stringer Shuts Out Red Sox—Cardinals Take Measure of Bucs, BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. OUR straight pennants proved too big an assignment for the Phila- delphia Athletics, but Connie Mack's great team has done the next best thing by nalling Jown second place in the American League. Needing only one victory over Wash- ington to clinch the “almost” honors, the A’s went out and got it yesterday by pounding three of the National's pitchers. The champion Yankees, meantime, uncovered a world series pitching pros- pect in Walter Brown, the big right- hander, who scored his third straight victory, shutting cut the Boston Red Sox, 3 to 0, with seven hits. With Gomez and Ruffing looking far from “right” at this crucial stage, Man- ager Joe McCarthy probably gained no little comfort from Brown’s latest per- formance. On the other hand, Babe Ruth, the famous convalescent, failed to get anything resembling a hit in three attempts, and that is bad. The Detroit Tigers worked St. Louis over twice, 6 to 2 and 12 to 0, Earl | Whitehill letting the Browns down with 'HO should be wishing the New York Yankees well in the com- ing world series, but their old rivals, the Athletics.

Cleveland won a weird contest from the Chicago White Sox, 13 to 6. Five pitchers worked for the Sox, including Manager Lou Fonseca. He did better than his regular hurlers at that, allowing not a hit in the one inning he was on the hill. Paul Waner, slugging Pittsburgh out- fielder, set a new National League record by punching his sixtieth and sixty-first doubles as the Pirates lost to St. Louis, 8 to 4, in the only National League engagement. The former record of 59 two-baggers belonged to Chuck Klein of the Phillies. 3Rigby7'7’s Wonder | Of Club Ti BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. F you qualified far down in_the seventh flight in a club golf tourna ment with a score somcwhere | around 96 or 97, you would expect to be able to win matches with scores around 90 or so. And if you shot your regular game in that seventh flight and | took & 9 and 7 licking you would feel that somewhere along the line there was | something wrong, wouldn't you? It all happened at Indian Spring, | | where the club championship tourna- | ment now is in progress, with Tom | Belshe, club title helder, defending the crown he won last Fall, Up there in the first flight scores of | 75 and better are common. They are expected of the gents who make the first flight, but down in the seventh flight, while the competition is usually just as keen, the scoring isn’t so good. That's why Dr. L. T. Souder is going | around singing the blues today as he looks back on his match against S. G. | | Rigby far down in the high-scoring brackets, where Rigby shot a first-flight game to whip Souder by 9 and 7. Rigby qualified in that flight with a card of 98, which was just about the normal qualifying score for the men in the seventh flight. He was paired against Dr. Souder and when they went out to play Souder found he was up against a first-flight game instead of {the game characteristic of those who | play down in the lower brackets in club tournaments. For Rigby, playing far better than he ever had shown before, went over the first nine holes of that tough Indian Spring course in two above par for a 37, something which in his wildest dreams he never had hoped for before. Then, so far ahead that only a miracle could stop him, he scored successive par 4s on the tenth and eleventh holes, two tough holes on ary man’s golf course, That wiped out Souder by 9 and 7. His only consolation was that the match ended close to the club house. EORGE T.
