i ote aN cant APR OSTA TAA RUAN BOTH a HUGMEN NEED ONLY FOUR MORE VICTORIES TO CLINCH PENNANT Sensational Triumph in Last Detroit Game Puts Team in Good Spirits for the Cleveland Series. By Bozeman Bulger. CLEVELAND, 0O., Sept. 22. HD Yanks arrived here this morning right smartly frayed in nerve and muscle from their catch-as-catch-can battle royal in De trott. What they lacked in rest, though, they made up ten-fold :n epirit. On @he boat in which we crossed Lake Erie these old campaigners raced around like college boys on a hazing party. Even Devormer and Mays, who quarreiled on the bench yesterday, were old boy-ing each other all the way across. Babe Ruth and Wallie Pipp, the outstanding heroes of the closing combat, chewed cut plug out of the same package. ‘The Yank club house at the end of this last game—the most thrilling iffair of the whole season—was like a mad house, Huggins had to caution the players about throwing things at each other in their rough skylarking for fear some fellow would be accidentally hurt. He is so close to the goal right now that his own nerves are on the jump Players Are on Edge. “But I'm not kicking about the scrapping,"’ Huggins said to us last night, n he called on the scribes just to get away from baseball for a minute. ‘That shows the gang ts on a keen edge, and that js just where I want to keep them antii the big blow-off, which ought to come to-morrow." The players feel that they have won the pennant. They pay little attention to the figures, but look the situation right in the face, They got much consolation yesterday out of uewspaper accounts from St. Louis showing that only 2,000 fans saw the Browns play Washington. On top of that the St. Louis fans rooted against the home club. In ballplayer lingo that town has sunk. That alone, they wine the pennant. , three with Boston and If they can win four of those seven games the Browns will be out of the race, even if they should win all six of their remaining games. For immediate use all the New Yorkers need is two out of three here th Cleveland. Bush and Shawkey Saved for Indians. For these two days Huggins has saved Joe Bush and Shawkey. He had intended using Jones, but on that he may shift, The question of pitchers suddenly has become of little consequence, The way Murderer’s Row is whanging {nto the pill they could lick any club no matter who pitched. ‘The best {llustration of this was that last game in Tigerland, when to their delight the players not only won out by coming from behind but did "i Geo, how our boys do like that Georgia Peach.

Before McMillan could even get his bat up Huggins called him out | and sent Frank Baker in for the pinth wallop. The old warhorse made good with a long fly . Schang scored and the Yanks, for the first time all day, were in the it had been a tough climb. i came the heartbreaker, the inning that had old man Pipp leaning Inspector Cahalane for comfort and support. Jones, the sad one, went tn to pitch and Ty Cobb promptly popped long single to centre. Bobby Veach, attempting a sacrifice, bynted straight to the pitcher's box. Jones, seeing a double play, his throw and made a wild heavy to second and Cobb went: to third, f@ach took second. Nobody was out and the Tigers haa runners on 4 second.

In the collision at the plate Cobb was jolted in the ribs and Schang was spiked, hath wong down ina heap. Even so, Schang hold on to the ball and kept Veach frosen at second. Then—— Woodall, batting for Cutshaw, ripped a liner into left that sounded good tor three bases; But With a leap Babe Ruth speared the ball, and with a thenty heave shot the ball to Scott in time to double up Veach, who had rted for home. This play was so close that Scott had to slide to the bag ith the bail in time to beat out Bobby. That ended the fireworks, It was a jjemdinger. “ | Fistic News %:2%" and Gossip | Jack Hantoti; matchmaker of A.

VALUE TOHS CLUB Browns’ First Bbaseman Award: ed Trophy Offered by Amer- ican League Club Owners. CHICAGO, Sept. 22 (Associated Press).—George H. Sisler of the 8t. Louls Browns, generally rated the greatest firat basoman in the major leagues, was awarded last night the trophy offered by the club owners of the American League as @ reward to the player who proved of greatest service to his team during the cham- plonship season of 1923. Sisler has played wonderful baseball from the start of the season and probably will finish the year as the best batter in the major leagues, He has been in 136 games so far and only for a brief period last month was out of the lead for the batting honors of the American League. In 136 games he made 234 hits, scored 126 runs and made 234 hits for an average of .416. He is also leading the American League in base stealing with a total of 47 thefts to his credit. Sisler is one of the greatest players that the game has ever developed and one of the best liked. He has no enemies, they say, in St. Louis, and is the idol of the fans. He is out of the game just now because of an Injury to his shoulder which he re- ceived just before the big series with Jthe Yankees. LENGLEN DECIDES NOT TO RETIRF.
