A—16 Canceled Game May Hurt Nationals : Worst Is O Hope for Aid From Browns in Second Place Scrap. Spot Is Lucrative. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. HICAGO, September 14.— Promise of clearing skies gave | rise to new National hopes for the White Sox’s second- place position today, but shine as the sun might, the Griffmen already are | suspecting that maybe they took a trimming on this final invasion of the Windy City. Despite the fact that Jimmy Dykes’ happiness boys have won 14 of 19 games from Washington this season, the Nats have figured on the law of averages and their own improvement turning the tables during this series. They even had hopes of sweeping & three-game set, a feat that might well have insured the Griffs of $1,500 apiece as second-place dough, now that Henry Ford has kicked in $100.- 000 for radio rights on the world series. Now, however, only 21 games will be played with the White Sox, who wind up their campaigning with Washington with today's double- header, if played. Rain, beating down steadily yesterday, caused can- cellation of a double-header and forced the two games to be moved back to today, thereby losing a single game which might, in the final analy- sis, prove important. Schedule Favors White Sox. 'AS A result of the rain, the re- mainder of the American League schedule is all in favor of the White | Box, who are considered by the Na- tionals as the team to beat for second place. Compared with the Nationals, they have a snap ahead of them, al- though the Dykesmen have one more | game to play than Washington. Holding a lead of a game and & half this morning, Chicago has 13 games to play yet, and more than half of these—T7 to be exact—are with the Browns. And next to the Nationals themselves, Chicago has played most successful against the Hornsby men, winning 11 of 15 games so far. Following today's double-header with the Griffs, Dykes’ crew will face the Yankees twice, the Indians twice and the Browns seven times. Five of the St. Louis games will be played on the banks of the Missouri. tionals, on the other hand, have a far tougher slate ahead of them. After today they will invade St. Louis for a two-game series and then move to New York for a three-game set with the Yanks. After that, at home they will face the Red Sox three times and the Yankees twice. They, too, have preyed on the Browns this year, but they will get only two more chances, @s against seven. Bucky Fears Club’s “Pressing.” SECOND place may mean little to the base ball world in general, but to the Nationals it means quite a bit, | now that they are so near to the posi- | tion and wondering how it will feel to | have 500 extra potatoes to spend this Winter. So keenly are the Griffs look- | ing forward to this bit of coin that Skipper Bucky Harris now is begin- | ning to fear a “tightening” of the | <club. The postponement of yesterday’s | double-header, meaning the loss of one crack at the Sox, hasn't helped, as Bucky views it. Even if the Na- tionals win both games today they must hustle to finish on top unless the Browns suddenly cast off their cloaks of “fall guys” and start whipping the White Sox. The rain did nothing to disturb Harris’ pitching plans, although it meant that Buck Newsom would be ready to start if needed. Harris, how- ever, still clung to the belief that Joe Cascarella and Pete Appleton, his prize curve ballers, would be his best bets against Chicago’s hard-hitting right-handed line-up. The Griffs were to be opposed by Ted Lyons and Ver- non Kennedy.

HICAGO, September 14.—The bid of the Washington base ball firm to finish second to the Yankees in the American League flag chase hardly is calculated to boost the world series stock of the McCarthy men, indicating, as it does, what low caliber of opposition the Yanks were forced to beat down in winning the flag. This is not intended to be- little the forces of Uncle Clark Griffith, but the fact remains that his Nationals are no per- fect ball club, and if the Wash- ington club is second or even third best in the league, then Col. Ruppert’s outfit hardly was forced to wade through a classy field. Nevertheless, looking ahead to the end of the month and the prospective clash of the Yanks and Giants, the | picture is rich in the promise of color. Except for Di Maggio and Gehrig, the Yanks hardly can be called colorful, and the Giants certainly are no rivals to St. Louis’ gas-house gang in pro- ducing this intangible asset. Still the very background of a Yankee-Giant | series recalls memories and sets & | colorful stage for a renewal of a clas- | sic for which Pop Knickerbocker has | waited 13 years. Yanks Enter Series With Streak. ‘YHEN the Yankees take the field against the Giants, if the Giants it is to be, they will enter the series with the greatest winning streak of all time, as far as a titular set is con- | cerned. In almost unbelievable fash- | fon Ruppert’s teams have won 12 con- | dating | back to 1927, when the Pirates were routed in four straight games. In 1928 the Yankees again won the pennant and grabbed the series from the Cardinals in four straight games. Lastly, they won in 1932 and nobody recalls more vividly than Joe McCarthy, who then piloted the Cubs, how the Yankees swept the set to make it 12 in a row. As things now stand, Carl Hubbell is apt to pitch the opening game of the series for the Giants and enter the series with a personal winning streak of something like 15 vicwrlesJ in a row. Right off the bat it will be a question of which winning streak will go blooey. Then again, for all of the prosperity which has marked the Yanks' campaigning during the last dozen years, New York's American League representative still trails the Giants in world series competition. ' ONLY two players—Frankie Frisch of the Cards and Waite Hoyt of the Pirates—are veterans of the first Yankee-Giant series whd still are tive. Back in 1921, Prisch played Frisch, Hoyt Only Survivers. the Yanks. In the opening game the Yanks won behind the five-hit pitching of Carl Mays, 3 to 0, and Frisch got four of those hits. In the second game Hoyt pitched another shutout by giv- ing up only two hits, of which Frisch got one.

The only other game the Yankees won was pitched by Hoyt, who tri- umphed by a 3-to-1 count. In 1922 the Yanks and Giants again clashed, and it was a snap for the National Leaguers. They won in five games and the odd game was a tle which ended 3-3. In 1923 the teams Yanks. Vs.

They didn't win again until 1926, and in the series that Fall they were beaten | by the Cardinals. But from the final day of that series until now—10 years | —New York's American Leaguers have | yet to lose a series game. To the forthcoming world series, granting the Giants win ana face the Yanks, there is plenty of background. The memories of the old-time fans will revolve and once again the spectre of McGraw and Huggins, both now dead, will rise up. There will be McGraw’s wrath to recall and Huggins' tense- ness. Hughie McQuillan's pitch- ing in 1922. The indignation which spread among Yankee followers when McGraw said that, after pitching to Hornsby, pitching to Ruth was a cinch. Frank Snyder’s tipping of Yan- kee bats while catching for the Giants. ‘There will be the memory of Art Nehf and, therein, will lie a mark for Carl Hubbell to shoot at as ace south- | paw of the Giants. In '23 Nehf pitched a shutout against the Yanks, allowing only six hits. In ’22 he won two games, giving up six hits and five. In '21 he lost two games after giving up only three hits and six, and finally came back to win, 1-0, by handing out four safeties. That was a series in which the Giants’ pitching was pitted against the murderous hitting of the Yanks and even though Ruth and Witt and Pipp are gone there remains the old test.
