SIMMONS, TERRY BATTLE TO RETAIN MAJOR BAT LAURELS

A,s Slugger Sets Pace in Junior Loop; Giants’ Ace Second in N. L.

Klein and Gehrig Keep Lead in Other Departments. BY DIXON STEWART United Pre*s Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—A1 Simmons, Philadelphia athletics outfielder, and Bill Terry, New York Giants first baseman, are aiming for a goal which no other major league player has been able to accomplish in recent years. Simmons and Terry, who won honors last season as respetcive batting champions tof the American and National League, are making strong bids for the 1931 batting laurels. If Simmons retains his honors, he will be the first player to win two successive batting championships in the junior circuit since Ty Cobb last led the league in 1919. Terry, if successful this season, will be the flrsttwo-time champion in the National League since Rogers Hornsby’s string of six successive championships was broken in 1926. Ruth Is Runner-Up Major league averages released today and including games of Thursday, Aug. 27, show Simmons topping ihs league with an average of .385, while Terry is second in the National standing, trailing the ,350 average established by Virgil ; Davis of the Phillies, by six points. | Babe Ruth continues in the role of American League runner-up with .381, while the third place hitter, Morgan of Cleveland, is twentythree points back. Terry’s competition for the National League runner-up post is furnished by Chuck Klein of the Phillies, who holds third place with a mark of .341.

Klein, Gehrig Same Klein, along with Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, continues to monopolize individual offensive honors, with the leaders in the various departments being as follows: AMERICAN LEAGUE Runs —Gehrig. Yankees, 130; runs batted In, Gehrig, Yankees, 138; home runs, Ruth, Yankees, 37; hits, Simmons. Athletics, and Gehrig. Yankees, 174; doubles, Webb. Red Box. 53; triples, Johnson.

Indians Lose Ground in Brewer Opener

By Times Special MILWAUKEE, Aug. 29.—Prank O’Rourke’s Brewers evidently are pointed to oust the Indians from third place and the issue will be decided over the week-end, with a single tilt today and a double header Sunday, in the series opener at Borchert field Friday, Arch Campbell of the Hoosiers and Earl Caldwell of the local nine hooked up in a mound battle and the latter won by a whisker, 3 to 2, the winning marker crossing the rubber in the ninth. J Caldwell held the Tribesmen to five hits, one a circuit drive by Koenecke, and Campbell was solved for six blows, one going over the fence and propelled by Bruno Haas. Campbell held the Brewers hitless for five innings and until two outs in the sixth when Haas walloped the sphere out of the park.

The Tribe scored in the first round on a walk to Goldman, McCann’s out and Walker’s single, and in the fourth Koenecke sent one riding over the right field fence. It was a tremendous clout, but it closed the Tribe scoring for the day, Caldwell tightening after that to blank the visitors the remainder of the way. Kubek Poles Triple Haas’ homer broke the scoring ice for Milwaukee in the sixth and in the seventh Kubek led off with a triple and scored on Turgeon’s infield roller that went for a hit. With the contest tied up at two and two, there was plenty of excitement. In the ninth after one down, Shires beat out a hit in deep short and was forced at second by Kubek, making two down. Turgeon delivered a single and Kubek reached third, whence he scored the winning run on Manion’s single. It was “ladies’ day’’ Friday and several thousand feminine fans swelled the crowd to about 12,000. The teams supplied some snappy fielding, no errors being charged. Slump With Bat Pilot McCann’s boys are bothered by a batting slump. In \St. Paul Thursday the Indians collected only six hits and only five here Friday, making a total of eleven for two games. The Hoosiers usually top that figure in one game.

Gomez, Grove Set for Slab Struggle Today

BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Snorts Editor tdv,Oo NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Lefty Grove, mighty southpaw of the Philadelphia Athletics*, was expected to go after his twenty-sixth victory of the season today in the second and final game of the series with t le jNcw York Yankees. Lefy, however, is likely to find No. 26 pretty tough to obtain, for he ho doubt will be opposed by Vernon Gomez, the. slender Castillian with plenty of stuff. What is more, Gomez, if past performances mean anything, likes to work against the world champions. It was Gomez who put a stop to the Athletics’ long winning streak earlier in the season. And it was Gomez who thoroughly tamed the A’s on their second visi to the Yankee Stadium this season.

The Athletics trimmed the Yankees, 5 to 4, Friday, thereby extending their American League leadership to fifteen full games. Mahaffey pitched for the A’s, and although removed in favor of a pinch hitter in the seventh inning, received credit for his fifteenth win of the season, against two defeats. Lou Gehrig hit his thirty-fifth home run. a u u Mickey Cochrane, whose third hit of the day drove in Bishop with the winning run, was another A’s hero. St. Louis, National League pace-setter.

rs § JEROME H. (DIZZY) DEAN

CHAPTER NINE IN an exhibition game during the spring training period I beat Cincinnati 5-4 when I relieved another pitcher in the fifth inning. The big leaguers looked easy. Then I beat the Phillies just as easy. After these wins I was sure of sticking. We worked our way up north and played the Browns in the city series. I pitch one of these games and get beat. The change from the balmy Florida climate to the severe St. Louis weather affected my control. Then came the opening of the season. I figured I should get the opening day shot but Street called on Flint Rhem. Rhem won hands down. After that, every day I had hopes of getting in there, but I didn’t. One day Gabby, who seldom spoke to me at that time, said for me to report to the office. I figured it was just another fine or a lecture or sermon or something which I was used to by that time. I got there and Mr. Rickey was there. He hands me a telegram. It reads: “Fred Ankenman, Houston Baseball Club. (Paid) Dizzy Dean will join your club immediately.” It took me a couple of minutes to get this. I was stunned. Another setback, and I knew it was unfair because I knew I was a great pitcher. “That means I go back to Houston?” I asked. “Yep,” said Rickey. That was all there was said. U St tt

I WALK out of the office. I’m mad, but when I get mad it’s different from other guys. I know I’m good. I know, too, that all the setbacks they give me will not keep me out of the big league. It’s just a question of time and I’m ending up my nineteenth year. There were just two things to do. Either I go down there and pitch ball or quit baseball and leave the Cards flat. If I quit I’m beating myself out of a lot of dough, which doesn’t amount to much. I am also cheating myself out of the chance to do what I know I can do—become a great big league pitcher. “Fred Ankenman, President of the Houston Buffs. I’m leaving here today, will arrive Sunday morning. Pitch me Sunday afternoon and it’s a cinch I’ll win. Dizzy Dean.’’ That went over big with the Houston scribes. They plaster it all over the papers and when I step off the train I see headlines about Dizzy Dean promising a victory and all that. This made me forget St. Louis. Anyway, the Texas League is just as fast as the big league.

The new diamond is pictured in the lower photo and the entire playing field will be ready for the athletes. There will be some unfinished work in connection with minor attractive details planned by Owner Perry, but everything will be “jake” for a ball game on Sept. 5 and all seats will be installed. The dedication of the modern structure has been deferred until spring.

increased its lead to 10V4 games by coming from behind to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to 4. Larry French held the Cards scoreless for six Innings only to blow up in the seventh and eighth The Cards scored two runs in the seventh and added four in the eighth. Cleveland’s Indians strengthened their hold on fourth place in the American League by trouncing the St. Louis Browns. 13 to 1. Mel Harder held the Browns to four hits while his mates blasted Gray and Kimsey for an even sixteen. The only other game scheduled, an American League affair between Boston and Washington, was halted by rain after but three innings of play and will be played as part of a double-header today.

Sunday I went into the 1 box. Wichita Falls, a hardhitting bunch, were our opponents. They tried to razz me about getting sent back to the minors. I walked over to the bench and declared myself to ’em. “Lissen, you birds! Just for that you get only three hits. I’m gonna shut you out and fan twelve of you.” When the game was over, we had won 2 to 0 and I gave ’em three hits and I fanned eleven. It was just a breeze from then on. My next two games were shutouts. Then I win one more hands down. We breeze into Dallas and I’m set to pitch the Sunday game. It’s just a breeze until the ninth. You’ve probably read about me and Alf Todd having a fight—rather he had the scrap, since I never had a chance to do any fighting. That row has been explained in a lot of ways, but here is my version of it and I guess I ought to know. I’m the one who got socked on the jaw. The score is 7-1, favor Houston, in the ninth. No one was one base and two were out. Todd, Dallas catcher, was at bat. He got one hit previously, and had been razzing me all during the game. Here was my chance to make him like it, since we were away out in front, no one on and two out. I didn’t try to bean him as some scribes said. I did try to dust him off, .however. I pitched two close ones at him. After the second ball he came dashing out of the batter’s box chattering at me. I figured he was coming’ out to argue and laughed at him. I thinly I told him to go on in there and not be' afraid, or something. Suddenly he let fly a punch that caught me on the side of the face. I went down. The blow didn’t hurt, it just caught me off my balance. When I got up he hit me again. And then the cops came. Next—A new liability, Mrs. Dean.
