FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, IN RACE WITH “Fireman, Save My Game’, oa —— as Joe Beggs, No. WITHDRAWS FROM SOFTBALL TWIN’ VICTORY World’s Champions Con- tinue To Hold On To Slim Mathematical Chance (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, Sept. 27—Two close victories over the Philadel- phia Athletics after- noon kept the New York Yan- the American League yesterday kees in race. The pennant fight at a glance shapes up. like this: Yanks must win all of their remaining games in the hopes of just tying the leader; a loss or cancelled contest will leave them “out in the cold”. Detroit must annex a lone victory for a certain tie or two triumphs to capture the flag. Cleveland must sweep the series with Detroit to remain in the picture. Tigers and In- dians began their three-game crucial series this afternoon. eran and a rookie brought y to the New Yorkers y Red Ruffing, although allowed 10 hits, kept the A’s under control in the opener, de- spite three errors by his’ team- mates. Gordon and Dickey help- ed with homers. Bonham hand- cuffed the opposition with four measely safe blows in the after- piece, blanking the Athletics, 2-0. The triumphs were the 7th and 8th in a row for the Yan- kees Washington Senators came from behind to down the Boston Red Sox, 6-5, in the only other junior circuit contest. In the National League, Cin- cinnati Reds and St. Louis Car- dinals divided a twin bill. Van- der Meer won the opener for the champs, and rookie Kimball held the Redlegs to seven hits and one run in the nightcap as his team registered five markers Pittsburgh Pirates edged out the Chicago Cubs, 7-6, in a 12+ hit assault on five moundsmen. . Boston Bees swept the double- header with the Brooklyn Dodg-' er, 5-2 and-5-4, ..New York Giants defeated cella -oceupant Philadel- phia Phillies twice, 3-1 and 2-1. Gumbert turned in a four-hitter in the initial fracas and ,rookie Carpenter limited the Phils to six safe blows in the afterpiece.

Cincy Moundsmen Yell Around Seventh By JOHN FRYE AP Feature Service Writer CINCINNATI, Sept. 27.—“Fire- man, save my child!” cried the heroine in the old thud-and-blun- der plays—and the house came down as the handsome smoke- eater snatched the sawdust in- fant out of the red crepe flames andiwon a kiss from the beautiful young widow. “Fireman, save my game!” cries the tired Cincinnati pitcher along about the seventh inning and a handsome young Lithua- nian named Joe Beggs climbs on the firewagon, turns on the hose, and: pulls another ball game out of the maw of disaster. And Hero Beggs gets a big hand from Cin- cinnati fans. Joe belonged to the New York Yankees last year. He won 12 and lost 10 for the Newark farm in the International. It seemed that the Yankees, though, with all the right-hand pitching in the American League and the richest farm system in the world, never would need Joe. Joe thought of returning to a school-teaching career. About that time the American League decided that the loop champion must not get any stronger by intra-league trading The Yankees figured that they couldn't use Beggs but that Southpaw Lee Grissom, with the Reds, might help some. So they made a deal and Beggs came to Cincinnati. Lee finished this year in an un- important role back in the Na- tional League with Brookly: after an excursion to Montreal Joe, on the other hand, is still ;due to THAT FIRE WHEN REDS ARE ON SPOT THE KEY WEST CITIZEN BEGGS IS; FHE MAN WHO PUTS OUT JUNOR CLUB: ran, N N | 4 ia DISBANDED © lief pitcher for the Reds, and he’s about as handy to have around es old Fred “Firpo” Mar- berry used to be to the Washing- ton Senators in their better days. All that Joe, one of the few Lithuanians in the game, has up his sleeve is control and a “down- er” that gets a batter nowhere. The very fact that he’s warming up has chilled many a promising rally by the opposition. Up to mid-September he had pitched in about 30 games and won 12 and lost two. Starting pitchers have received credit for plenty of others that Fireman Joe pulled out of the fire. BARBERS BATTLE NAVSTA. TONIGHT FINAL EXHIBITION GAME; NEW SCHEDULES BEGIN NEXT WEEK Softball exhibition game sched- uled for last night at Bayview Park between Saw: s Barbers and U.S. Marines was called off several minutes after play began rain. Hair-Cutters had scored three runs on three hits and an error with nobody out. Final exhibition affair of the week will be staged tonight at the Park field, beginning at 8:00 o'clock. Barbers will battle Nav- Sta. Monday night opening games of the new leagues will get under way. All first contests will be between teams of the Service cir- cuit and will begin 7:00 o'clock , instead of 8:00 o'clock as in the past. Civilian clubs will engage in second games. HAS NEW MISERY FOR BATTERS NOW By JOHN FRYE, AP Feature Service Writer CINCINNATI, Sept. 27.—Paul Derringer, the big Kentuckian and real estate magnate of Sara- is a living contradic- tion of the old saw about old dogs and new tricks. Not that Oom Paul is an old dog, but he’s been around base- ball and the Cincinnati Reds long enough to have a right to be a little sot in his ways if he likes. Paul built up his pitching rep- utation on two things, control and a handsome assortment of curves. Then, after his greatest season 25 victories and seven losses, he set about to learn the new trick a knuckle ball. That delivery is hard to master. Many a sage pitcher has refused to monkey with it because he knew he'd never know where it was going. Auspicious Debut Paul worked quietly. None of the fans and few of his team- mates knew he was experiment- ; walks ing. Then, about mid-season this}{ year, he gave it a formal coming r out party and came within the! length of Stan Hack’s bat handle. ¢ of the pitchers’ hall of fame. It was July 6 up in Chicago. The Cubs had an idea that they F weren't getting anywhere but not until Stan got a little blooper off the handle in about the eighth inning did they realize they were otherwise hitless. The final score was Cincinnati 4, Chicago 0. The knuckler has Paul's control a bit. He now as many as three men a game, where last year he once went almost 50 innings without giving a free trip. Still something of an experi- ment, the knuckler may have cost him some of the dozen games he lost up to mid-September. On the other hand, it helped him to 20 victories in that time and who's complaining? ~ Key West Juniors DERRINGER. NOT 100 OLD: TO LEARN, affected “”. AND BASEBALL LEAGUE American Legion - sponsored basebail-softball team has been disbanded, according to manager Aurelio Lastres, Sr. The team has withdrawn from the new civilian softball circuit and has dropped out of the Island City Baseball League. Several of the original SAL Juniors deserted the team _ re- cently, leaving only a skeleton outfit. This action disheartened the club’s loyal manager. Rather than continue with practically a sand-lot team, he thought it best to withdraw from the league for the time being. In softball, the players were known as Key West Conchs and in the hard ball loop they went under the name SAL Juniors. One-Legged Athlete (Ry Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS.
