Baseball World Pins Attention on Yankees-Athletics Series

14 Paddiers Share Prize Cash Equally Bitter Criticism Made Over Decision of Wrigley Swim Committee. Bu United Prest '•BBB TORONTO, Ont., Sept. B.—Bitter criticism cropped out Friday at the decision of the Wrigley fifteen-mile endurance swim committee to award $2,500 each to the final survivors in the Wednesday water derby. No one completed the fifteen-mile swim, Georges Michel, the last survivor, giving up at the end of 12% miles. The bitterly cold water forced the 199 starters to withdraw. The fourteen who will share in the awards are: Georges Michel, France; Ernest Vierkotter, Germany; Louis Mathias, Long Island; William Erickson, New York; Mendell Burdett, Toronto; Myron Cox, Los Angeles; Howard Holley, San Francisco; Roland Tegtmeier, Seattle, Wash.; George Young, Toronto; Orville Hammell, Mauzo, 111.; Harry Van Papenfus, South Africa; Garnett Cochrane, Coburg, Ont.; Norman Ross; Harold S. Preston, Smithville, Ont. Officials decided that since no one had won the swim, It was better to divide the money equally. Michel’s handlers were practically indignant, pointing out the Frenchman was the last man out of the water, and that he had covered more distance than any one else.

Philadelphia, Tied With New York, Plays Champs on Sunday. “HUGMEN ARE DOOMED” Says Joe Williams of Penant Chances. BY JOE WILLIAMS, Sports Editor. New York Telegram NEW YORK, Sept. B.—The Yanks and the A’s begin a set of important games in the stadium Sunday. These games are being called the little world series. More than that, they threaten to be the only thing approximating a world series the customers will see this year in the stadium. The experts say the Yankees have shot their bolt. Their present predicament (tied with the A's after once being in front by thirteen games), might have been less acute if they had shot something else. Preferably one or two pitchers, a couple of infielders and a catcher. Bucky Harris predicts that if the A’s ever get out in front nobody will catch them. Maybe nobody will want to. You seldom see a wild rush of volunteers combing thickets for an escaped lion. Broken Long Ago The experts do say this series will make or break the Yaunks and that it will do* the same to the A’s. What could be funnier or fairer? Still, I chink the Yanks were broken when Pennock developed a marceled sinew in his soup bone and Lazzeri’s arm sprung a leak in the region of the shoulder. It is true, of course, that t' Yank replacements haven’t stood up. Mr. Huggins had a great ball club as long as he was able to keep it intact. For all I know he may have had, as Mr. Wilbert Robinson and other veteran judges of baseball flesh claimed, the greatest ball club of all time, though the evidence based on recent development would seem to indicate an overplus of optimism on the part of the critics. Up until the big slump came the A’s were the one team the Yanks could beat without changing their street clothes. The records yodel an impressive note of superiority, with thirteen wins and five defeats. Mr. G. Herman Ruth was asked how the A’s managed to win those five. “I couldn't tell you. I .wasn't looking,” answered the great man. Use Some Science! If the Yanks with their battered lineup, are able to continue this dominance over Mr. McGillicuddy’s men you can get in touch immediately with your cousin Elmer and tell him the A’s are either afraid of the Yanks or they're bogged down by inferiorities and repressions. I should say that the outcome of this series' means less to the A’s than the Yanks. They each have sixteen games to play after finishing here, and the way the A’s are going they figure to make up wh&t lost ground they might suffer, with greater speed and sureness than Mr. Huggins’ disorganized club. In short, the Yanks, if they are to repeat, must have the services of a strong, able bodied, first-class miracle that isn’t afraid of work. Whether they win or lose this series they seem doomed.

France Nabs Wide Margin Over Yanks Foreigners Need but Two Matches to Clinch Net Victory. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. B. Needing only two matches to clinch the international team series, France today was expected to add another tennis victory over the United States to the Davis Cup triumph of last July. e The Frenchmen won three of the four match played Friday on the slippery courts o the Germantown Cricket Club, losing only three sets in the four matches. Five matches—three singles and two doubles—were scheduled today, and from the form the Americans exhibited Friday the invaders were in no danger of losing any of their tennis prestige. America today banked on its two doubles teams of George Lott and John Hennessey and John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison to prevent the French from making a complete rout of the team matches. Lott and Hennessey, national doubles champions, were to play Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon, former French Davis Cup pair, and Van Ryn and Allison were to meet Henri Cochet and Rene De Buzelet. Rene De Buzelet, the young Frenchman, was to play Francis T. Hunter, veteran American, and Pierre Landry, also appearing here for the first time, was to meet John Doeg. Christian Boussus, the lefthanded French youngster, was to play Wilbur F. Coen Jr. Three of America's stars collapseir before the French assault Friday, and the gallant efforts of the two others could not save the day. John Van Ryn, former Princeton star, prevented France from making a clean sweep of the first day’s matches. He defeated Jacques Brugnon in the opening match, 3-3, 6-2. Doeg, the Santa Monica, Cal., southpaw, played brilliantly in the doubles match, but all his efforts could not atone for Junior Coen’s errors and the French combination of Pierre Landry and Christians Boussus won, 6-2, 7-5. Those two young stalwarts from the West—George Lott and John Hennessey—Lott lost to Henri Cochet, 6-1, 6-3. Hennessey almost had Borotra subdued at one stage of their match, but the Indianapolis boy allowed the rounding Basque to stage a brilliant rally in the third set to win 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Hennessey led three games to one in the third set. but Borotra smashed and volleyed his way through the next four straight games to take a 5-3 lead. Hennessey won the ninth game, but Borotra completed his victory in the next game.
