CUBS’ PENNANT HOPES AT STAKE ON LONG TRIP ON ROAD

Bruins Open 21-Game Swing Through East New York and Brooklyn in Favored Positions, Playing on Home Lots, If Bruins Slump: Rejuvenated Cards Also Press Leaders. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Sept. 1 —The turbulent 1930 National League pennant race entered its final stage today as the Chicago Cubs, 1929 champions and leaders in the current campaign, opened the twenty-one game road trip, which will decide the senior loop's representative in the forthcoming world series. Three clubs. New York, Brooklyn and St. Louis, still have hopes of dethroning the Cubs and will watch the Chicagoans’ progress during the eastern invasion with more than perfunctory interest. If the Cubs slump, and inability to win consistently on the road has been characteristic of Chicago teams during recent years, any of the other three first division clubs will have an opportunity to win the pennant.

The Cubs now are leading the pennant parade by five full games, with only twenty-six games remaining on their schedule. Ordinarily such a lead would be considered almost insurmountable, but all three of the contending clubs arc convinced they still have better than an even chance to pass the leaders. Cards Also on Road New York, in second place, five games behind (.he Cubs, and Brooklyn, in third place, six games in the rear, have the advantage of spending their final month of the campaign on home soil and appear to have, the best, chance in event the Cubs crumple on the home stretch. The St. Louis Cardinals, six and one-half games back of the Cubs, have played the best ball in the league during the last month, but like the Cubs, are handicapped by a schedule which calls for them to play sixteen of their remaining twenty-four games on foreign diamonds. The confidence of the contenders for the Cubs’ lead is based largely in the fact, that many of Manager McCarthy's stars are out of the lineup with injuries and the crippled condition of the pitching staff. Face Mound Crisis With Charley Root and Fred Blake, two of the “big four'’ out of commission for at least another week and with the balance of the staff arm weary from the exhausting competition of the past ten days, McCarthy is faced with a temporary mound crisis. Today’s double-header against Cincinnati put an added burden on the Cubs’ staff and even the most optimist - Chicago fans admitted their was a strong possibility of the Cubs * sing a part of their five game Aid before McCarthy is able to get his pitching routine working again.

Wood Favored Over Carstairs in Boat Event B\J Prenß DETROIT, Mich., Sept. I.—The determined bid which Miss Marion Barbara Carstairs is making to take the Harmsworth trophy back to England appeared doomed for failure today as four of the world’s fastest boats prepared for the second heat of the trophy race. With one of Gar Wood’s three entrants in the event winner of the first heat Saturday, the silverhaired veteran was a heavy favorite to pilot one of his speedsters across the finish line today to retain the trophy which he won from England in 1922, and has retained since then. The misfortune which has followed the English girl’s attempts continued Saturday when the fastest of her two entries, Estelle V, was forced out w'hen the fuel tank collapsed. Today she will depend upon Stelle VI to put her even up with Wood.

George Fisher

WHEN the St. Louis Cardinals visit Indianapolis Tuesday night for an exhibition with the Indians under the Washington park lights, there will be a familiar figure among the group of big leaguers, outfielder George Fisher, who played right field and swatted the sphere for distance for the Tribesmen several years ago. Though not classed as a regular with Gabby Street’s pastimers, Fisher has been an important factor in numerous games and has piled up a batting average of .380. He was the early season sensation of the National League.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1. Early this month I hit a home run at the Yankee stadium and I think that one homer has caused more talk and brought me more mail than any I have hit in years. This one carried to deep center field and into the narrow part of the bleachers just in front of the scoreboard. A number

Babe Ruth Says

of writers said the next day it was the longest hit I ever made at the stadium. I can’t say whether it was or wasn't. Their guess is better than mine, anyway because they

keep their eyes on the ball and I don’t always do that after I know for sure it’s a homer. I get a thrill every time I hit one, and I got a particular kick out of this one I hit during that double-header with Washington. Hadley was pitching at the time. I knew I got a great “hold” on that ball, as the players say. This particular homer started a lot of arguments and letter writing because the baseball writers got a real line on its length. The bleacher fence is painted in several places, telling the distance from home plate. This ball went over the screen right near a sign reading 429 feet. The writers figured it traveled at least 450 feet before it bounded.

Afternoon and Night Games at Tribe Park! Indians Battle Colonels in Split Holiday Bill: Teams Break Even Over Week-End; Cardinals Perform Here Tuesday Evening.

BY EDDIE ASH Breaking even with the league leading Colonels over the week-end. Johnny Corriden’s Indians will battle the flag favorites in two more games to end the series, one tilt this afternoon at 3. and the finale tonight at 8. In other words it’s a split double header arrangement to give state fair visitors an opportunity to get a slant at night baseball. On Tuesday night Gabby Street's St. Louis Cardinals, victors over the famous Chicago Cubs Sunday, will stop off in Indianapolis for an exhibition with the Indians under the lights at Washington park, Tuesday being an off day for both clubs in their respective leagues. Manager Street has promise to start most of his first stringers in the contest. The Mound City Nationals got back into the pennant scrap after a long pull and won two and lost two with the Cubs in the series ending in Chicago Sunday. The exhibition with the big leaguers was booked by Indian club officials about six weeks ago. Brilliant relief pitching by Frank Mulroney and timely swatting by Hoffman, Connolly and Dorman combined to give the Tribesmen a close shave win over Louisville Saturday night, Bto 7. Hoffman collected a homer, double and two sin-

Benny Bengough Insists that I hit one up nearer the scoreboard during our big season in 1927. Bob Shawkey says he recalls one that hit in the same section, but he is not sure about where it struck. This is a tipoff that I haven’t hit many out that. way. I'll say a hundred people have asked me if that was the longest homer I have hit, and I received a number of letters referring to it. Most of them put this question up to me in one way or another: “If that wasn’t the longest home run you ever hit, what was the longest? How many feet did it travel?” I’ll answer here that I don’t know. Measuring a home run is impossible, since most of them go beyond the walls or fences, and finally land where a tape could never reach. I believe, now that home runs play so big a part in baseball, that a lot of fans would like to see numbers at various places in the ball parks, telling the distance from the plate. If the fan knows how far a ball travels before it reaches a fence he can judge how far beyond the wall it went. I don’t argue this for myself, but for all the men who hit home runs.
