YANKS, TIGERS | PLAY 2 GAMES j Doubleheader Toda y Opens “Crucial” Series Between Leaders New York, Aug. 14. (U.R) Mick ! ey Cochrane's high-powered pick- i ime-ups from Detroit will lie wel-l ( coined at Yankee stadium this as -1 [ tornoon for a check up on the Am ’ urban league pennant situation. : I Col. Juke Ruppert's ball boys, trail- : 1 ing by four and a half games, want j ' to know whether this Detroit club ' ' is u team of destiny or a fall rumor.' | There was some tendency to dis- , credit the team-of-destiny angle ■ I until a short while back. One set ; I of figures came through, however. | I that carried conviction. The figures ( I were: Twelve won tn a row. If any more figures are wanted. | i here are a few: Detroit is outbid-1 ling the Yankees by 25 points; the | I club average is 31U against a .285: I for the New Yorkers. Detroit has ten men hitting at .300 or better; | the Yankees have four. Detroit I has won five games more than the Yanks and lost four less, which I stacks up to a 40-point advantage in the percentage column. With five games coming up this • week between the two clubs, it may be calculated that the New Yorkers will have to win a preponderance of the games—in fact, will have to sweep the series or come close to it if they hope to view this pennant situation with a clear eye when the Detroiters de- 1 | part next Friday evening. Today's double header promises ‘ to be about the most important 1j moments the Yankees have faced ' this season. If New York sweeps ', the first day's play, they may be.] I inspired to renewed vigor and ' clamber nimbly back to the top. I If they miss, it will be too bad. A split will not be of much help. ' The burden of proof is all upon the I : Yanks. They must beat a club that j i had been outhitting. outplaying and ( I outgaming them for the last month, j, And this is pretty nearly their last.' I chance to make good. Foreman Joe McCarthy will give : I the Yankees quite a shakeup beI fore they go to bat. George Sei- i ( i kirk, who hit .350 with the Newark . Bears this season, will be at Earl I Combs' post in the outfield. Red I Rolfe probably will be at third in * place of Jack Saltzgaver. Me-' Carthy is hoping — and praying— ' that it works. Yesterday Washington's Senators ■ were bumped off by Philadelphia: 9-0 in the only game played. 111, was to have been a double header. I but rain halted the second game. I' and also washed out Pittsburgh ;' and Cincinnati in the National league. ' Johnny Marcum was credited with the shutout. The Macks pil-1 ed up ten hits on Alphonse Thomas. I Jack Russell and Alex McColl in the first heat, scoring alt their runs. McColl and Marcum pitched shutout ball after that.

Md.— (U.PJ — Renew- i ing efforts to beautify Maryland highways the State Roads Commission is going to play the role of trash collector. In an effort to educate the pub-1 lie to dispose of trash in an order-1 ly manner and thus improve the appearance of the highways, scores of large rubbish cans have been! placed along the roads and arrange-1 ments have been made to have their contents collected and burned. The cans are being placed where motorists frequently stop and eat picnic lunches. If the public will utilize this new convenience instead of carelessly throwing trash from their automobile windows, it was pointed out, in addition to beautifying the road- j sides, fire hazards in some instances may be eliminated. Maryland first started a concerted Irive to clean up ite highways in 1931 when the state billboard law , was passed. With its enactment small “snipe” signs were eliminated and an extensive program of highway beautification was started. 0 Get the Habit — Trade at Home
