YANKS FIGHT | FOR 2ND PLACE New York, Aug. 28 (U.K Ba k from their final western invasions, the Washington St nt tors ::nd the New York Yankees today be .ci drives which each hope will earn second pl ice in the final American league standings. The Senators, one-half game ahead of the third-place Yankees, stand a good chance of increa ing 1 that advantage during the next two days, for while they are playing the lowly Boston lied Sox the Y.mke s : will be meeting tli formidable | Philadelphia Athletics. This alignment will be reversed on Sunday, : however. I Frcjn that point on the schedule 1 gives little or no advantage to 1 either team, both having approxi- ; mately the same number of games 1 to play with the other clubs in the i league. The St. lyiuis Cardinals, already ten full games out in front of the National parade, probably will be one-half notch farther in the leal', by nightfall. The Cards meet the!’ Pittsburgh Pirates in the only scheduled National league game. ' . Chicago’s Cubs missed a chance; ' to pick up a game on the idle sec-1 end place New York Giants yesterday by dividing a double-header ’ with the Pirates. Four hit pitching! 1 by Glen Spencer and Thevenow s triple with two men on was largely! responsible for the Pirates 3 to 2 victory in the opener. The Cubs won the second game! 11 to 4 by an eight-run rally in the i eighth. Pinkey Whitney's eighth inning ' home run gave the Phillies a C to! 5 victory over Cincinnati in th? only other National league game of ! the day. Wes Ferrell, whose work has been spotty ever since he pitched ; a no-hit game early in the season, returned to form to pitch the Cleve-! land Indians to an 11 to 1 triumph j over the St. Louis Browns. Fer- 1 rell allowed but four hits. The Detroit Tigers pounded five, Chicago pitchers for 13 hits and a j 8 to 4 victory, in the only other i American league game. Yesterday's hero: Pinkey Whitney of the Phillies, whose home run broke a 5-5 deadlock and gave his 1 team a 6 to 5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

* TODAY'S SPORTS PARADE | By HENRY McELMORE. UP Staff Correspondent ♦ ♦ New York, Aug. 28.— (U.R)—Wei 1 for one were saddened by the news, I that Art (what-a-man, wired fori isound) Shires bad become a shy,..shrinking violet, and that Jerome I "Dizzy” Dean planned to quit tell-' ’ J ing the world just what a great lit-; . I tie bail player, for as hard on the | . ! ears as was the braggadocio of I 1 1 .Messrs. Shires and Dean, their vain ' glorious utterances never saw the ld:y when they were as boring as 'the modest, self-deprecating state- . ments by many of our brighter , s,ars - .. . i What we mean, is we <1 a whole I I lot rather read of Dean's insistence' J that his fast ball, even on off days.; makes lefty Grove's smoker look, like something thrown by a fat soprano, than where Mickey Coch-j rane says Charlie Berry of the Red i (Sox. is the greatest catcher in the 1 I American league. There is at least ! an outside chance that Dizzy means I > what he says. But when Cochrane j rates Berry as the best backstop | in the league, you are positive that Mickey said it knowing full well jthat he could put an anvil under .each arm ami still show young mister llerrv a few things. — In a few weeks Babe ’Ruth will name his annual all-star team and | the sports page readers will be treated to another sterling example I of this absurd modesty on the part ;of our better heroes. Ruth, unless lie springs the greatest upset of all time, will name his club of the year without even so much as menitioning George Herman Ruth. And ! von know and Ruth knows that the 1 Babe belongs out there in right (field on any man's all-anything team. 1I Modesty such as exhibited by ; Cochrane and soon to be exhibited by Ruth becomes downright absurd when you remember how the boys behave when talking contracts and ’ salaries with the business office. They all become Dizzy Deans, and Art Shires when the subject of pay ' 1 comes up. You may rest assured that Ruth will shed all pretense of modesty 1 when he walks in there to talk with I Colonel Jake Ruppert about a renewal of that $89,000 contract. And | that he would consider it a prettylow form of humor if the Colonel should remind him that Joe Glutz. (the peerless Glutz, who-Ruth pickled as the greatest right fielder in j baseball, was making a paltry $17.j 000 a year salary. " Ty Cobb says he won't manage the Brooklyn Robins in 1932.
