Tribe Faces Colonels on Closing Trip After a two-day rest, the Indians of Emmett McCann left for Louisville this morning to resume action with the Colonels during a fourday stand in Derbytown.

Milwaukee is close on the heels of the third-place Hoosiers and Columbus is pressing the Brewers.

Webb Is Near Doubles Mark By Times Special BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 17. —Earl Webb is one of those southerners who can’t forget. The brawny slugger from Tennessee has harbored a great hate for afll Chicagoans since the Cubs let him out in 1928. So he got tremendous satisfaction Wednesday in pounding out two doubles in the game against Chicago’s White Sox, in which Vic Frasier lest a 2-to-l four-hit game to Bull Durham, Red Sox ace, who allowed but three bingles. Vengeance, however, wasn’t his only satisfaction. Webb practically assured himself of anew major league record for two-base hits with his pair Wednesday.

some prank, Ruth had the same sort of season in 1925 that Hack enjoyed (?) this year. It was in 1925, you will recall, that the Babe had the “stomachache that was heard ’round the world.” He also had his worst season in baseball. He played in but 98 of his club’s games. His batting average dropped below the .300 mark and he connected for but 25 home runs. To make matters worse, he was handed an indefinite suspension that cost him more than $5,000. It was freely predicted at the end of the season

Macks Are Top Choice Athletics 5-to-8 Favorite to Win Third Series in Row. By United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 16.—Although no club in baseball history ever has won three successive world championships. $5 will bring you $8 if you are certain the Philadelphia Athletics will not accomplish the feat in the 1931 world series. Gabby Street and his St. Louis Cardinals, the National League champions, profess to believe they will stop the Athletics, but their confidence is not shared by the men who lay odds on sporting events. A survey of betting odds at St. Louis, Philadelphia and New York today revealed the Athletics as an odds-on choice to take the series, and according! to the commissioners there is little St. Louis money in sight. Odds offered by the bookies against the teams are: Athletics to win series. 5 to 8 Cardinals to win series, even money. Athletics to win first came. 7 to 10 Cards to win first tame, even money. Athletics to win four straight. 6 to 1. Cards' to win four straight, 15 to 1. Ahtletics to win two straight. 3 to 2. Athletics to win three straight. 3 to 1. Cards to win two straight, 3 to 1.

in baseball, Ruth hit at a .372 clip, cracked out forty-seven home runs, played in 152 games and did more than his share in lifting the Yankees, a seventh-place club in ’25, to the championship. Wilson is about the same age as Ruth in 1925. If he goes about a comeback in the same spirit as did Ruth, he probably will be up among the game’s leaders next year. But if he sulks, continues to try and drown his sorrows, and spends his time thinking about the raw deal he received, he’ll hit the minors and stay there.
