LEFTY GROVE TIES RECORD Chicago, Aug. 20. — (U.R/ —Robert Moses Grove, who hails from Lonaconing, Maryland, and who has been pitching for the Philadelphia Athletics since 1925, today seemed on the threshold of annexing more laurels in a single season than any other major league pitcher in baseball annals. Grove won his 16th straight game yesterday when he pitched the Athletics to a 4-2 victory over the Chi I cago White Sox at Comiskey Park. I His season’s record is now won 25 and lost 2 for an average of .926. Among the records within Grove’s reach are: 1. American league record for most consecutive games won which Ihe tied yesterday. The record of 116 was made by Joe Wood. Boston i Red Sox. and Walter Johnson, Washington, in 1912. 2. Major league record for most consecutive games won which is 19, made by Tim Kfefe in 1888 and equalled by Rube Marquard in 1912, both pitching for the New York Giants. 3. Highest percentage of games won and lost made by Joe Wood in 1912 when he won 34 games and lost 5 for an average of .872. 4. Leading the American league in won and lost percentage three years in succession, a feat no pitch er in either league ever accomplished. 5. Become the first major league pitcher working regularly to finish I

the season with a percentage above' .900. The Athletics have 41 games left I to play and if Grove pitches every | fifth game he will have a chance to work in eight more ■ games. If he won them all he, would finish the season with 24 straight victories and a total of 33 won and 2 lost. Both of Grove's defeats have ■ j strings attached to them. Washi ington beat him the first week of the season on an error and the; I White Sox trimmed him in an exit ra inning game June 5 after he was tushrd into the box as a relief pitcher. Connie Mack bought Grove from j Baltimore for a reported price of ■ $105,000 at the close of the 1924 International league season. In his |' rst year with the Athletics Grove • lost 12 gam's and won 10. When he first broke in he tried to rely solely on his dazzling speed, but soon found out that he needed to mix ’em up. Under Connie | Mack's expert tut- lage he soon learned to get the maximum benefit from his fast delivery. Grove has two peculiar habits—•me of inking dirt in front of the box with his spikes before getting on th° mound and the other of blowing breath on his left hand before starting his windup. He has no false motions and pitches mostly from a combination side and overhand delivery. On or off the diamond Grove has little to say. He smokes his cigars very short and saves his mon y. Yesterday’s hero: Lefty Grove of the Philadelphia Athletics who pitched the world champions to a 4 to 2 victory over Chicago. The victory was Grove’s 25th of the year and his 16th in succession, quailing the 19-year-old American league record for successive victories. i GROWERS ASK CROP HOLIDAY COUTINUten PHOM pan-. -sajic, and thus increasing prices. For the most part, today's sectional meetings approved the l ong P'an. whi h calls for uniform Ivans Against raising cotton in the south next season. Governor Ixvng was elated over response to his early appeal. He telegraphed Governors, LiutenantGovernors, U. S. Snators, and Congressmen of the 14 cotton growing states Sunday night, and today had received replies from every state. Ninety-five per cent of the 1.090 Broken Veins and VARICOSE ULCERS What "Are You Doing to Heal Them?

replies were favorable, the Gov- : ernor said. Tlie question so constitutionality I of a cotton prohibition law has ’ been solved, according to Gov i Ixmg. He said Biblical law. the flight on boll we°vil. imposition tax 1 and measures of conservation all gave Governors power to enforce i the ban on cotton. There was still considerable opposition to his plan. Governor Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi, considered it ‘ wild, imractical, impossible and fantastic”: Senator Wai-; ter F. George of Georgia said “It | is impractical.’’ "The matter is one for the Federal Government.” Governor W. P. Huntof of Arizona said his state had “no mon- ; ey to call the Legislature in session and the measure would be unconstitutional, anyhow.” Hundreds o-f other letters commended the Governor ami pledged support of Southern official and usiness men.
