GIANTS SPLIT DOUBLE HEADER Fred Fitzsimmons And Buck Newsom Lose Well Pitched Games New York, Sept. 19 — (U.R) — Speaking of hard luck pitchers, consider the cases of Freddy Fitzsimmons of the faltering New York Giants and Buck Newsom of the St. Louis Browns. Freddy has pitched 31 conee’ utive innings without getting the support of a single run from his mates And unlucky Buck stepped out yesterday, pitched a masterly one-hit game while his opponents allowed 10, yet Buck was the losing pitcher. Fitzsimmons pitched the opener between the Giants and Cincinnati Reds against Benny Frey. He allowed six hits against Frey’s seven. but the Reds won. 2-0. after Chick Hafey broke a scoreless tie. by smashing out a homer in the 10th with Jim Bottomley aboard. However the giants won the nightcap, 4-2. by virtue of Mel Ott’s 35th homer in the fourth and three Giant runs in the sixth. This even break prevented the Giants from gaining ground in the ..National league pennant race while the runner-up Cardinals were idle. The split left the Giants still three and a half games above St. Louis and the New Yorkers must win nine of the 10 games left on their schedule to clinch the pennant if the Cards win their remaining 14 games.

in the Red Sox Browns game, Huck Newsom allowed the Sox only one hit but the Red Sox . emerged from a 10-inning battle with a 2-1 triumph. The Browns I gathered 10 hits off Wes Ferrell and Rube Walberg. Two walks, an error, an Infield out and a field) rs' choice accounted for one Boston run in the second inning. (Strange’s single tied the count for St. Louis in the sixth, and Boston won out in the 10th when bob Johnson’s single, the only Sox hit of the game, followed two walks. In the National league, wet grounds at Boston caused postponement of the Cardinals-Braves contest. The Cubs and Phillies split a twin bill, Chicago winning the opener. 7-3. with Don Hurst leading the Cubs’ 12-hit attack, but the Phils took the nightcap, 8-1, when Phil Collins limited the Cubs to five hits. Brooklyn downed the Pirates 9-4, hammering out 17 hits off three Pittsburgh pitchers. D<>troit stretched its American league lead to seven and a half games over the Yankees by treating New York. 2-0. behind Schoolboy Rowe’s six hit pitching for his 24th victory. Hank Greenberg won the game with a homer in the fourth. Cleveland took two games from Washington. 4-5, in the first when I Earl Averill’s single in the 12th drove in the winning run. and 9-6 in the nightcap, when the Indians | outhit the Senators. 13 to 8. Connie Mack’s Athletics blanked the White Sox. 6-0. behind Bill j Dietrich’s six hit flinging, while the A’s made 12 safeties off Kennedy and Tietje. STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE — W. L. Pct.

HORNSBY PICKS TIGERS TO WIN Brownies’ Manager Picks Detroit To Beat Giants < In Series < I , | Chicago. Sept. 19. dJ.PJ Note* Hjtrom a big league press box: I Rogers Hornsby, St. Louis ! Browns manager, likes the Tiger* /to beat th- Giants In the world /series . . . Hornsby's preference . I should I** given some consideration I in view of the fact that last year I he picked the Giants to beat the J Senators four games out of five ‘ and that’s exactly what happened. , A hot tip is that Jimmy Foxx : will not play first bass tor the . ' Athletics next season ... It Con nle Mack doesn't sell him he'll probably send him behind the bat ’|, . . Foxx came up as a catcher, but , he doesn’t relish the idea of going 1 back to his old post . . . The Red “ Sox and Yankees are going to ’ make big bids for Foxx . . . The 1 I Yanks would like to have him to ■ 1 play third base ... If they can’t “ get Foxx, they are going to bid for Pinky Higgins, rated by many , Aas the outstanding third sacker in 1 | baseball. Al I/rpez. Brooklyn catcher, is the firebrand of baseball ... He t has been chased five times this . season . . . Mickey Cochrane gives ■ plenty of credit to Goose Goslin tor helping the younger members ' of the Tigers . . . Goslin, who has j played on three championship j teams, deserves much of the credit for developing Jo-Jo White . . . j Cochrane was about to give up on ' lirm. but Goslin insisted the youngster would show his worth it kept . i in action. I Many National league hitters ' claim that the’ magnates have; I tossed in a few of the 1933 base-| balls recently, explaining the reason for many tight games hi the I last few weeks . . . The Red Sox I will play to almost 500,000 paid I customers at Fenway park this I I season . . . Harry Hellmann, form ! er Detroit star, may be picked to I broadcast the world series. 1 Former Phillies have trouble. ! hitting as soon as they leave the short right field wall at Baker bowl . . . Chuck Klein. Virgil Davis. Don Hurst and Pinkey U hitney all slimi’ied at bat as soon as they went elsewhere . . ■ Klein last year hit .368 and is batting only .313 this season, a decline of 55 points ... Johnny Moore, former Cub who hit only .263 last year with the Reds, is hitting .368 at Baker bowl, i Babe Ruth as a new white glove . . . They say Joe Cronin has ] bought a $1,700 engagement ring for Miss Mildred Robertson, niece of Clark Griffith. Washington owner • Rumors of a change in managers at Washington, with Cronin shifting to Boston to play shortstop under Bucky Harris seem premature . . . Jimmy Dykes.
