S PPERTS T0 RELY ON LONG STICKERS Bruins Count on Great Slab Staff and Ability to Hit in Pinches. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, September 26.— The probabilities are that fast balls, shoulder high and inside, and base hits, high and outside the park, will play a much bigger strategic part in the world series between the Yankees and Cubs, starting Wednesday in the Yankee Sta- dium, than any master-minding from the dugout or on the ball fields. For the first time in years, old fashion- ed, straightaway base ball appears likely | to dominate the championship proceed- ings, minus the" factors of score-card waving or other inside stuff calculated to confuse the combatants as well as the spectators. Joe McCarthy, big, silent leader of the old school, will rely on the big punch of Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Dickey & Co. to pull the Yankees through to their third successive world _series triumph, meanwhile juggling a versatile corps of pitching sharpshooters to get the best results. Marse Joe's strategy was under fire when he managed the Cubs in 1929, but it always looks bad ! without base hits or good pitching. IKEABLE, good-natured Charley Grimm, holding down first base himself, will depend on the hus- tling, pinch-hitting ability of his team, plus’ the resources of a great right- handed pitching staff, to pull the Cubs | through to a world championship. The Chicagoans are outclassed when it comes to long-range firing from | either side of the plate, but their pitch- ing staff appears in better condition, they have a_brisker defense and more PORTS Dean, Cards, Gets Strikeout Honors YORK, September 26 (#).— In his first full year in the majors, Jerome Herman “Diz- gey” Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals captured the season’s strikeout honors from some of the most sea- P bn:lxled performers in big league base By fanning two Pittsburgh batters in the last game of the season yes- terday, Dean brought his strike-dut total to 191 for the year. Charley Ruffing' of the New York Yankees was second in the majors with 190 and Lefty Grove of the Philadelphia Athletics was the third contender for the place, finishing with 188 strikeouts. i Dean won 18 games for the Cardi- | nals and lost 15. | ANOTHER T TTLE OROPPEDBY VNS World Champ Eliminated in Semi-Finals of Pacific Mixed Doubles. BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, September 26.— | Like the prophet, Ellsworth | Vines, jr, world singles tennis | champion, today was without honor in his own country. He came back to Southern California. not so long ago after a great European invasion and successful defense of his national singles championship, but the net stars of the world who trailed the 20-year-old Pasadena youth here put an abrupt end to his relgn as Pacific South- west champion. Vines lost control of the last two of | his three titles yesterday by being elim- inated in the semi-finals of the mixed | #speed, man for man, than their rivals. | With the 1931 record in evidence of how the Cardinals upset the heavier- hitting Athletics, as well as Grove and | Earnshaw. by outhustling their rivals, | the Cubs have every reason to dash into | the fray briskly and, if possible, throttle | the Yankee attack before it has a real | chance to get under way. F any major surprise is sprung in| pitching srategy, the Yankees now | appear likely to pull it by inserting their 230-pound former bullpen pitcher, Walter Brown, into the list of starting pitchers. Brown's sensational work in winning three games within the last two wecks has inspired confidence in his reliability, especially if Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing do not look any better in the series than they did in their last few workouts. It will be recalled that Connie Mack caught the Cubs by surprise in the very first game of the 1929 series by shoot- ing Howard Ehmke's side-arm delivery at them. Before they recovered from this shock, the Bruins were hopelessly beaten back and unable to pull them- selves together except for one masterful game pitched by Guy Bush. It will be well, therefore, for Grimm's men to be prepared for any emergency, rather than to take the Yankees' publicized advance plans for granted. USH will draw the opening box as- signment for the Cubs with Char- ley Root, Lon Warneke and Pat Malone due to work behind him in that order. Burleigh Grimes is not expect- ed to start. but the old spitballer might be the Cubs’ ace in the hole, if he hap- pens to feel the old battle urge once more and be right for the occasion. It may not do to count Grimes out of the picture any more than it is wise to over- Jook the aging southpaw of the Yan- kees, Herb Pennock, as yet undefeated in world series competition over & decade. The strategy of the two clubs behind the bat will be in good hands, with Bill Dickey and Gabby Hartnett doing the bulk of the work. Dickey has a better arm and he will need it to curb such speedsters as Cuyler, Moore, English and Herman. Hartnett's principal worry will be Ben Chapman. who will have a good chance to beat the record of six stolen bases for one world series. This mark was set by Jim Slagle in 1907 and equalled in seven games in 1909 by Hans Wag- Ter, who also holds the record of three thefts in a single game. doubles after he and Keith Gledhill, the national doubles championship team, had bowed in defeat in the men's doubles finals. Previously, Vines had been_beaten in the men’s singles quar- | ter-finals by Jiro Satoh, Japan. MER ALLISON, Austin, Tex, and John Van Ryn, Philadelphia, from whom Vines and Gledhill had won the national title a few weeks | ago, turned the Southern Californians | back in straight sets, 6—3, 6—4, 6—4. | The home boys failed to click as a | team, and committed errors when al- | most sure points were in the offing with such regularity that the match almost Tesolved itself into a farce. Only seven games in the entire match | went past deuce as the Davis Cup com- | bination swept to its easy victory. Gledhill was the moste erratic and Van Ryn and Allison concentrated on | him in the third set when Vines sud- | denly came to life-and started bearing down. Mrs. L. A. Harper, Oakland, Calif., and Satoh put Vines and Miss Helen | Marlowe, Los Angeles, out of the mixed | doubles play in the seml-finals, as | Vines continued his erratic play. The| score was 4—6, 7—5 6—3. As a re- sult of their victory over Mr. and Mrs. John Van Ryn in_the other mixed dou- bles match, 6—3, 6—3. Miss Sarah Palfrey, Boston, and Frederick Perry. Great Britain, will meet Mrs. Harper and Satoh in the finals today. RS. HARPER showed too much ex- perfence for Miss Alice Marble, San Francisco, to successfully de- fend her women’s singles championship, 10—8, 6—3. Perry took the men's singles title Saturday from Satoh in three sets. 6—2, 6—4, He had failed a year ago to turn Vines back in the finals. Miss Carolin Babcock, Los Angeles, and Miss Palfrey won the women’s doubles title by defeating Mrs. Harper and Miss Marble, 6—2, 7—9. 7—5. Mrs. Harper was the only plaver to successfully defend a title in the inter-| national field. GRID OFFICIALS MEET.

Crowder Registers 26th Win As Nats Down A’s in Finale; BY JOHN B. KELLER. INAL standing: Washington, 1924 —won 92, lost 62—first place. Washington, 1932—won 93, lost 61—third place. Such is base ball Not a series was lost by the Nationals this year and only they were able to get as good as a tie with the Yankees, who ran rough-shod over the remainder | of the American League to the cham- | pionship. Had the Nationals been able to wal- lop the Western clubs as easily as the Yankees and second-place Athletics did it might have been another story. Yankees, Athletics and Nationals completed their series with the West. Each club played 88 games with clubs of the inland sector of the circuit. The Yankees won 65, the Athletics 58 and the Nationals 53. The Yankees finished 14 games ahead of the Nationals, picking up a dozen | games of that advantage at the expense | of the Westerners. The Athletics fin- ished a_game ahead of the Johnson band. The West enabled them to do so. ERIES with the Athletics, Browns, | White Sox and Red Sox were won by the Nationals. Those with the Yankees, Indians and Tigers were played to an even break. The edge over the Athletics, 12 games to 10, was gained yesterday in the clos- ing game of the campaign when the hitherto three-time champions were up- p sel, 2 to 1, And the Nationals did the upsetting in jig-time, too, going through | the game in 1 hour 17 minutes. It was their fastest game of the year. Al Crowder, who hurled to a 1-to-0 win over the Red Sox in the 10-inning season opener, again was the pitcher in the finale and a fine piece of work was done by him. He limited the A's to half a doren safeties to score his teenth successive victory and run to 26 hia total of wins That total of big - leaue pitehl 20 wins Is & record In this year one of Connle Mack Wurlers. was on the Me gave up only seven Wite bt i twe Innings after getting two out he yielded Wue emalve Smien by Ney e i ot Ahiee of b e Hnnuun' hta e 8 teet Woed b b from & -}& ok the M \ Be Br C against the first pitch sent his way by Crowder and rifled the ball into the sun parlor back of left field.

FOSTER. YORK, September 26.—The Yankees had a practice session beginning at 10:30 this morn- ing at the stadium, and go through the same routine tomorrow, when the Cubs follow them on the field for an afternoon workout. ‘Wednesday the world series starts, with Charlie Ruffing and Guy Bush the likely pitchers, and the Ydnks using the same line-up that started in their league finale yesterday in Boston. The Yanks are healthy and fit, even Babe Ruth, who has gained some of his strength, and predicts with the rest of the team prophets that the Yanks will win. The Babe, however, mellowed with the years as he wobbles into his tenth world series, is kind enough to concede that the Cubs may carry the series to six games. His younger, more impulsive mates are all to an eye in seeing it settled in four straight. LS STARTEAST T0 BATILE YANKS Will Practice on New York Field Tomorrow—Players in Good Trim. BASE BALL SERIES Win, 5-1, Will Play Deciding Game With Vienna Fire- men Next Sunday. OUR sandlot ball tossers had all but closed the season today, but at least one rivalry that must g0 into next week is the Vienna Fire Department-Steuart Motor Co. feud, which ended yesterday with each nine holding a victory. Steuart Motor, behind the four-hit pitching of Dick Lanahan, evened the series on the Vienna field by winning, 5 to 1. The deciding game will be played next Sunday on the Army War College field. The crack Howard A. French A. C. nine closed its series with the Front | Royal All-Stars by dropping a 4-to-3 decision, giving the All-Stars an edge for the season, three games to two. Lefty McIntire, who pitched for the winners, brought victory to the All- Stars by singling with Lyle McFall on third base in the last half of the ninth.

Golf Analyzed BY JOE GLASS. 'OCKING the wrists and uncock- ing them is an operation that greatly mystifies the beginner at golf. Perhaps he would be better off if he did not concern himself much about it, allowing the process to proceed automatically. All great golfers, however, put wrist action into shots requiring dis- tance. Undoubtedly, cocking and un- cocking the wrists supplies a lot of power, and it is desirable to have a mental picture, therefore, of their action. At the top of the backswing, when the arms have gone as far as they can, the weight of the club, plus the impetus given it by the backswing, bends, or “cocks” the PULL DOWN WITH STRAIGHT wrists. But this latter movement is more than merely subjective. It is the means by which we summon the clubhead to come forward and down again, and to do so smoothly. The wrist cock is not ended in the early stages of the downswing. With the left hand and, arm pulling the club down, it continues, though in a lessening degree, until the hands are almost in front of the right.leg. Now the right hand and arm come into the stroke. The wrists uncock. The head of the club is accelerated and more yardage is gained. The sketch of Paul Runyan above shows his hands just at the moint when the right hand and arm are whipping into the drive. This should serve as a measuring stick for the beginner. COACH WANT?BERTH.

FULLERTON, JR,, | Assoclated Press Sports Writer. HE records of the New York | Yankees and the Chicago | Cubs for the 1932 season furnish a study in marked | contrasts as the teams await the | signal that will send them against | each other Wednesday in the world series. The Yankees ran away with the American League flag, finishing with the second-highest percentage ever recorded by a pennant winner in the junior circuit, 692. The Cubs won only after a terrific battle and then were only one game ahead of the lowest mark that ever won a National League flag. The Yankees won 107 games and lost 47 and might have done better if they had been pressed in the latter part of the race. The Cubs recorded 90 victories and 64 defeats for a .584 average. HE leugue records they approached are 714 by the 1927 Yankee team and 578 by the St. Louis Cardinals in e Yankees likewise knocked the daylights out of the major league record for consecutive games without being shut out by scoring in every one of the 156 games they played. This came on top of 55 games at the end of 1931 and gave them a total of 211 in a row and completely eclipsed the mark of 132 established by the Boston and Philadelphia Nationals in 1894. The Cubs were blanked eight times this year. One point of similarity cropped up yesterday when each team lost its final game of the season to a last-place club, the Yanks succumbing to the Boston Red Soa, 8—3, and the Cubs going down before the Cincinnati Reds, 5—3. N keeping with the tightness of the National League race all through the season, two places in the final standing were not decided until the final day. Philadelphia took fourth by winning the second game of a double= header from the New York Giants. 6-3, after losing the first, 5-3. The ringle victory kept Boston out of a tie even though the Braves trounced Brooklyn, 13 to 7. New York and St. Louis tied for sixth as each split a twin bill. The Cardinals lost the first to Pittsburgh, 0 1, and won the second. 7 to + The runaway race in the American League did serious damage to attend- ance figures. but a< a whole 't was & fair season financially for most of the c lub owners.

Paul Waner's 63 ’loubles and a remarkably close batting/race involving Foxx, Dale Alexander of the Boston Red Sox. and Frank O'Doul of Brooklyn furnished the three high spots of major league stickwork for the 1932 season. Unofficial figures credit Alexander with the major league hitting cham- pionship for the year which closed yes- terday with O'Doul taking the National League honors with an average only one point lower. But until the final official checkup is made the outcome will remain in doubt. Alexander’s final unoffcial mark was .367. O'Douls .366 and Foxx. who led through most of the season, finished with .364. The Athletics’ star failed in a great bid for the home run record, as well, but he established a new mark for right handed batters and came closer to Babe Ruth's record of 60 than any other player has done. He hit his 58th yesterday in the last inning of the season’s last game. Waner cet a new National League record of 63 doubles, four above the mark established by Chuck Klein in 1930.
