THE inability of “Lefty” Grove of the Philadelphia Athletics to beat the New York Yankees may cost Connie Mack's club the pennant. Since the opening ot the 1928 season Babe Ruth and Company have been a terrible jinx to the great Grove. Only last Saturday Grove registered his twenty-first victory of the season. That, in itself, is quite

an achievement in these days of the lively ball. In winning twen-ty-one games for the Philadelphia Athletics. Grove has received no help from the Yanks. The slugging aggregation, chaperoned by Miller Huggins, has been poison for the tall southpaw. As a matter of fact, only Grove’s fail-

ure to enjoy just ordinary success against the world champs, has kept him from having one of the most remarkable years ever recorded in the big show. 000 While scoring his twenty-one games, Grove has lost just six. And, to definitely prove what a horrible hoodoo the Yanks are to Grove, it need only be stated that five of the six defeats suffered by Grove have been at the hands of the Yanks. He has beaten that : club only once.. a 0 a However, the big test is just ahead for Grove. In a few days, he will have a chance to wipe out a season of failure against the Yankees. If he delivers, it may mean a pennant for the Athletics. Four games still to be played between New York and Philadelphia loom as the series that will more or less decide the American League pennant struggle. It is really necessary that the Mackmen take three of the four games if the club is to remain the running. An even split in the series would be all in favor of New York. The series starts Sunday. a a a Grove has been beating all clubs other than New York with such ridiculous ease that Manager Mack may tempt fate by starting him in the first and fourth games of the series, a a a Despite his failure against the Yankees, Grove still feels that he should win over New York as easily as he does the rest of the league. It is said he has requested of Manager Mack that he be started twice against the champions of the universe. One needs only to glance at Grove's strikeout record to realize how much more stuff he has on the ball than a majority of the pitchers. His total strikeouts, 145, is far ahead of his closest rival for the whiff honors.

Eddie Sicking

The veteran Eddie Sicking, Louis-, ville second baseman, continues to keep his batting average around. .370 as the 1928 campaign draws to a close. The former Indian captain started massaging the sphere in April in timely fashion and he’s still going big with the bludgeon. And Eddie is the same classy fielder of his younger years. He’s well on the way to finish among the five leading sluggers of the A. A.

Local Bowling Gossip

In the Bowlers Journal of September A. L. Langtry, secretary of the American Bowling Congress, makes a final appeal to all bowlers to participate in organized leagues only. This writer believes that any bowler would do well to follow this advice, as Langtry has the good of the game at heart, and his long experience teaches that organization is. the greatest asset to the bowling game, which he has seen grow from one or two drives in the basement, to the present elaborate buildings that supply pleasant recreation to over five million men and women throughout the country. Last year the American Bowling Congress tourney was rolled in Kansas City. The reason K. C. received this award is very plain when one learns that Kawtown was 100 per cent organized. Indianapolis is very anxious to obtain this event. You, Mr. Bowler, can help our city achieve this by insisting on your league taking advantage of the benefits of the A. B. C. at a cost to you of about 25 cents a year. C. C. Powers of the American Central Life team just missed the hall of fame Sunday when he rolled 299 in a practice game at the Pritchett Recreation alleys. Joe Pulton was another bowler with a chance when he started with ten In a row. A single pin stuck on him on his next attempt and he had to be content with a score of 259. Harry Hurt, a former local crack, now residing in Philadelphia, paid the boys a visit while on a trvs here a few weeks ago. Harry showed his old-time cunning with the Mineralite. He says they bowl throughout the summer in the eastern city. One of the oddest awards in any league has been put up by the Elks League. This is one prize that does not require a big or small score on the alleys, as it goes to the proud father of the child born after the league starts. The prize is one dozen nursing bottles. Many other novel prizes have been put up bv this loop Eddie Hornberger, as well as many other pin spillers, have forgotten their resolution never to roll another ball and are eager to go. The fast Indianapolis League will get under wav tonight at the Pritchett Recreation drives. Twelve teams will face the bell. “Doc” Longsworth is to attempt 9 comeback. Doc went through a long siege of sickness during the summer and feels that the exercise of the game is the tonic he needs. Looks as if Jesse Pritchett will have a real club again. His team is composed of Eddie Meyer. “Flash” English. Eddie Hoffstatter, “Red” Mounts and Jess himself. Young bowlers who will be heard from again this year are Earl McCarty and

Lehman, who won golf laurels while at Purdue University, has been prominent in State amateur circles for several years, but he always seems to flivver but in the big championship. He didn’t flivver in his play here and shot a 68 over Broadmoor Country Club course which ties the record set by George Soutar of Bradmoor. Lehman, Soutar, Jack Tuitte, Nell Mclntyre and Bernie Lehman formed the interesting five-some., Totaling the best ball of the five players, they turned the course which is par 72 in 59 strokes.

The team is sponsored by the Montgomery-Ward Company and represents the American Legion Post No. 5 of Oakland. The players were the guests of the Indians at Washington Park, Tuesday, where the Tribesmen downed the Colonels, 5 to 3, and this morning took a brisk workout at the Tribe grounds. The Worcester team won the eastern championship at Louis-

this season. They have met twen-ty-three times during the campaign and the Tribe has annexed fifteen of the tilts. Swetonic stepped out Tuesday and downed the Louisville athletes, 5 to 3, allowing only four hits. Two errors by Warstler in the ninth probably prevented Steve from getting away with a three-hit 5-to-l game. Old Nick Cullop opposed Swetonic and the Indians got to the veteran southpaw for three earned runs and two unearned markers. Nick started in great fashion and did not allow a hit until the fourth. He was touched for a run in that round and in the fifth Reb Russell poled a homer over the low fence in right after Warstler had singled. It was a hefty swat for it was more of a liner than a fly. In the eighth Nachand’s muff of Holke’s easy fly after two out allowed a runner to score and paved the way for a second marker before the Tribe side was retired. Gain on Millers The western A. A. clubs were Idle Tuesday and the Indians gained one-half game on the Millers and were only two games back of the leaders this morning. The Tuesday victory also enable the Tribesmen to pull away a little from the Brewers, who are a close third.

Outfielder Koenecke and Pitcher Wolfe, Mississippi Valley rookies from Moline, were to join the Tribe squad today. They failed to show up Tuesday. The Valley circuit closed Monday. Oat-like fielding by Swetonic on' Nachand’s bunt In the fifth inning Tuesday enabled Steve to throw out the runner by a step. t Haney made a clean steal ot second in the fourth inning after two out and Cullop elected to walk Spencer to pitch to Holke. Walter promptly singled on the first pitch and Haney galloped home. Haney put down a fine bunt in the eighth to sacrifice Connolly to second. Fred nearly got a hit out of it. Russell’s double in the seventh was a near-homer. The ball struck near the top of the high scoreboard. Russell worked Cullop for a walk in the eighth with the bases filled and Holke scored. Sicking lined out three times before he got one safe In the ninth. He shot a low liner to Blenkiron in the first and sent sizzling drives into Connolly’s glove in the fourth and sixth. There was much activity in the Tribe bull pen In the ninth after sicking singled and moved to second and third on wild pitches. Funk made the circuit in the first round when he walked, stole second and scored on Rutherford’s hit after Loftus had been erased on a pop fly. Thompson sent Russell to the fence for his fly in the eighth. Sicking, Connolly and Funk turned in some dazzling plays on hard hit balls. Connolly had ten chances.
