Playing the Field

-With Billy Evanr

EOOKS v-’ry much like New York in the American and Chicago in the National for pennant honors at this stage of the race. Neither of these two clubs has buffered a serious slump so far this vear. Rival teams have kept plug-

ging away, hoping some serious handcap would overtake the Yanks and the Cubs, but so far they have been disappointed. With the Yanks enjoying a 15 game lead it would take mor? than an ordinary slump to jeopardize the club’s chances. It would almost require a

Erans

train wreck to wipe out such a commanding advantage. While the lead of the Cubs is but Tive games, that margin should prove sufficient to put McCarthy’s team over. However, there is at least an outside chance for one of the other three clubs in the running to go over.

The Cubs are a young team under a very severe strain and there is always a possibility of a youthful club cracking as it comes down the stretch hard pressed. GLORY FOR MANAGERS EF THE Cubs go over, it will be more or less of a personal triumph for Manager Joe McCarthy. As I often have said, a manager cannot get anywhere unless he has worth-while material. He cannot held the bats of the opposition in check or make base hits for his team. However, if the material is there, It is surprising how much more work certain managers can get out of players than others. That is where the handling of men asserts Itself. A Victory for the Chicago Cubs would be a genuine surprise, but without a doubt a great stimulant for the game. Regardless of whether the Cubs win the pennant or not, I do not believe it is the best club in the league. Asa matter of fact, it is my opinion that pitching excepted, the three teams now trailing Chicago are stronger combinations. The superior hurling the Cub stafi has been hard to offset. In the spring it was my belief the National League race would be between Pittsburgh and New York with Chicago simply as a .dark horse. It has proved a very fleet as well as courageous one. MAY BREAK RECORD 7=71 HE American League race lost much interest about the first of June. At that time the Chicago White Sox challenged the New York Yankees for the lead. A one game margin separated them. New York proceeded to assert its class, won three of the four games and sent the Sox into a slump from which Schalk’s club has never emerged. since that time the American League race has simply been a procession, with the Yanks so far out in front they appear to be in another league. The Yankees should have no trouble in winning 100 games if Manager Huggins keeps his line-up intact and does no experimenting. If he cares to press his players, he has an excellent chance of breaking the American League record for games wno. 106 by the Boston Red Box in 1912. Since the* Yanks have been traveling at better than a 700. gait since the season opened, they are icing no difficult task to break the games won record in the American League.

Albert Hakes Is New Golf Champ Bn l iiitcd Press WINNETKA, 111, Aug. 20.—Albert Hakes, 17, of Dunkirk. N. Y, is the new Western junior amateur golf champion.

Cubs Appear to Have Pennant as Teams Turn Into Stretch

Jones Turns in Brilliant Golf Cards Practically All of Large Field on Hand for National Amateur. BY CLARK B. KELSEY l tiited I‘ress Staff Correspondent MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 20. Practically all of the large field of 170 golfers entered in the national amateur golf championship had arrived today. Jesse P. Guilford was the only outstanding star still absent. So far, however, most of the golfers have not extended themselves, being satisfied with getting “acquainted” with the course. Bobby Jones of Atlanta" and George Von Elm, defending champion, who arrived early this week, have been shooting brilliant golf during their practice rounds. Jones and his fellow townsman, Watts Gunn, meet Harrison “Jimmy” Johnston svd Harry Legg, veteran Minnesota star, in an exhibition this aftqrnoon, which was labeled the “North-South.” Jones, who is minus a United States title this year, has been working hard, here in preparation for the tournament—his last opportunity to grab a title this year. Odds are three to one against him. Guilford and Von Elm are considered his most dangerous opponents, odds against them being placed at 10 to 1. Progress of the tournament, which opens Monday, will be broadcast by Station WCCO, Minneap-olis-St. Paul. Practice rounds Friday, included a 71 for Jones, a 72 for Ruddy Knepper of Sioux City, la., a 71 for Eddie Held of St. Louis, and an 81 for Max Marstcn of Philadelphia.

WITH THE BIG LEAGUERS

Bn United Press Splitting of a flock of doubleheaders left the National League pennant race Just one day nearer its close, while J’Buster” Lou Gehmg was busting one over the fence m the American League to unknot 'his home run tie with Babe Ruth. The Cubs missed an opportunity to increase their five-game lead when they dropped the second game to Brooklyn, 6 to 1, after winning the first, 3 to 0. Sheriff Blake made the victory possible when he allowed the dodgers but five scattered fyits. Doug McWeeney evidently was Impressed by Blake’s performance, for he turned in an equally fWell-pitched game to give the “Dodgers the nightcap.

Two seventh-inning rallies decided the New York-Pittsburgh twin bill. In the first game, the Pirates took to Larry Benton for ten singles a,nd eight runs in the seventh inning for a 9-to-3 victory. The Giants, likewise, picked the seventh to score three runs off Ray Kremer to win the second game, 5 to 3. Freddie Lindstrom crashed into the stands during the matinee and was 1 carried from the field unconscious. Bix-to-one was the scores of the two St. Louis-Boston games, the Braves winning the first and the Cardinals the second. Kent Greenfield turned in a near perfect pitching performance wnen he held the champions hitless until the eighth inning of the first game. He then allowed one hit in that inning and another in the ninth. Cincinnati proved the exception by winning both ends of their dou-ble-header from the Phillies, 5 to 3 and 1 to 0. The initial affair went ten innings before Kelly and Ford scored to give Jakie May a victory. “Red” Lucas held the Phillies to five hits to win from Scott in the second game. Gehrig’s thirty-ninth home run, while breaking the tie with Babe Ruth, failed to help the Yankees materially and they dropped a game to the Chicago White Sox, 3 to 2. Fine pitching by Ted Blankenship was responsible for the Sox victory Ernie Wingard turned in a fine pitching performance when he let the Washington Senators down with six hits to give the'St. Louis Browns a 6-to-l victory.

As Friday was the wind-up day of the convention, the Mound City club decided it had won the tourney and desired to leave for home. Chicago and the remainder of the .delegation insisted the Windy City team still had one more chance to annex the title and that today’s game was necessary. The officials of the tourney decided likewise.

National League Opposition Faltering as Chicago Plays Steady Ball. ARE 8 TO 5 FAVORITES McCarthy, Root, Carlson Receive Much Credit. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Preu Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Ranking next to that No. 1 question—“ Was it fair or foul?” Comes No. 2 "What happened to those Chicago Cubs?” It was a great surprise to some lans when the Cubs started to play winning ball, when they squirmed past the favorites into first place in the National League and when they persisted in remaining there. Just as it was predicted of the New York Yankees, that a slump was bound to come and cut down their American League lead It was said of the Cubs—“ They don’t belong up there. Wait till the halfway mark and watch them fade.” But here It is, past the middle of August. The Cubs still are leading the field turning into the stretch and their chances are rated so good that Wall St. is betting eight to five they win the pennant and Wall St. doesn’t lay a roll on a long guess. Why are the Cubs on top? , A good guess is several guesses and they are Joe McCarthy, Charlie Root, Hal Carlson. Also Mr. Wilson and Mr. Webb. The Cubs were not considered a bum baseball club when the experts were making their pre-season selections. In fact, several expressed the opinion that if there was to be a dark horse that dark horse would be the Cubs because of faith in the ability of Joe McCarthy to handle men and get them to play for him. Developed Sensation -Although McCarthy said before the season opened that Charlie Root would be the answer to the Cubs’ prayer, very few dreamed he would be the sensation he has turned out to be and that Carlson would depart from the Phillies and would pitch the kind of ball he has pitched for the Cubs. The wail raised in Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cincinnati and the pressure of protest that resulted in an appeal to Commissioner Landis to cancel the Carlson deal seems fully justified if you don’t happen to be an admirer of the Cubs. Pittsburgh and St. Louis writers, indignant at the Philadelphia owners, said the transfer of Carlson was an act that tossed the pennant to Chicago. And so it seems. Granting the wisdom of the theory anything can happen in baseball it appears very likely the world’s series will be played in Chicago and the likelihood is so strong bets at short odds are heard that the Yankees beat the Cubs.
