Talking It Over BY DANIEL M. DANIEL

Joe Williams la on hit vacation. While the Colonel Is restin*, Daniel M. Daniel, New York World-Telegram baseball eipert, will write his daily column. NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—This inquisitive reporter pre-empted Joe McCarthy's easy chair in the stadium clubhouse. It was the same old seat into which Miller Huggins had slumped so often after hard games and after easy ones. It was the very desk at which Bob Shawkey, now managing at Scranton, had wrestled with the Yankee problems in 1930. A couple of pieces of historic basebail furniture which some day might accompany a collection of Babe Ruth’s bats and a pair of Leffy Gomez's amazing capacious No. 12 shoes into the museum of the city of New York. Your narrator reached Into a pigeon hole and drew out an El Punko which somebody must have handed Huggins during the 1028 world series In a generous mood. I handed the cigar to the boss of the Yankees. "Well. Joe. looks like quite a series between the Yankees and the Cubs," I opened breezily. "It will feel funny battling your old club, under your pal. Charley Grimm.” "If you are trying to Interview me about a world series. I will have to refer you to Jimmy Burke.” said Joe "Now, Joe. since you are eleven and a naif games in front and It looks like a breeze for the Cubs, you must be giving some thought to a world series." "I still am giving plenty of attention to the current race In the American League." McCarthy frowned, smelling the cigar. "Look how those Athletics are going!" 'Jn so far as I can see, they're going right into second place,” your narratdr replied a a a ‘"II7'ELL, it’s nothing to laugh VV at,” the boss of the Yankees resumed. “Suppose we had not won four straight from Cleveland? I figured we'd drop two. Suppose we had not won four out of five from the Tigers, and all those games from the Browns? Where would we be now?” Discerning nothing but a blank on the reporter’s face, Joe went on. "The crisis the Yankee season was reached In those two games we played in Washington on our return from the second western trip We won both. Had we lost those contests we would have been In for a tough time. As things stand, we still have a lob on our hands.” "You will have an important advantage over Grimm in the world series,” I continued. "You know' all his pitchers—maybe with the exception of Warneke. You know their styles and stuff, and how they are likely to pitch in a certain situanation.” "I don't know what you’re talking ahout, ' the Yankee boss sparred. Bv this time that cigar had developed a serious situation. "The club which gets into the world series for the American League should offer up a prayer of thankfulness that Ted Lyons is not with the Cubs. Did you mark that smart game Ted pitched against us Sunday? Never a bad move. “Now, the closest to Lyons on the Cub staff is Guy Bush. Curve ball pitcher with a great fast one. He'd worry any opposition.” "Does that mean Bush is the one Chicago hurler w'hom you fear in the world scries?" This inquisitive reporter asked. "Why should I fear Bush or any other Cub pitcher on August 30 when Guy is in the National League and the Yanks are in the American League?” the duke of Buffalo quizzed. "Now, you take the case of Vance. Too bad he turned up with a sore arm. That reminds me of the season when Ihe Cubs won twelve straight from the Dodgers and Vance never once came out of the bullpen.” "Bullpen duty is a great cure for a sore arm." your narrator interposed. Through the barrage which Joe by this time had laid down with the El Punko I thought I saw him wink. a a a “TXO you notice that there isn't a U single southpaw on the Cub pitching staff? Yes, one. Jakie May. But he hasn't worked for so long he probably has forgotten he is with the club. Lafthanded sluggers like Ruth, Gehrig and Combs will not like that one bit, will they? You found it tough enough in 1930, with only Art Nehf to bother Mack’s lefthanded batters,” resumed your correspondent. "That may be very interesting three weeks hence,” McCarthy protested. "But right now I am more worried about Dickey's sore hand than I am about the Chicago pitchers." "Say, Joe, maybe that wind in the Cub park won't help Babe and Lou get Into that right-field bleacher, eh?" I volunteered. still in a sociable mood. "Gehrig once broke up a game with a home run in the ninth in that park. It was for the High School of Commerce against the Chicago champion, for the inter-citv title. "Say. I still think you're trying to interview me about the world series,” McCarthy again suggested. "And mat was not a cigar you gave me. Just a lot of curled up, old batting averages. Here, look—Pipp, Ward, McNallv, Baker, Peckinpaugh, Meusel, Schan’g Miller and Fewster. The 1921 Yankees. Durn it, the Yanks bought me from Buffalo. and then cancelled the deal. And here I am—and get out of that chair!” Hayworth Ends ‘Perfect’ Streak By Times Special DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 30.—Ray Hayworth’s string of errorless games was stopped at 439 chances in 100 games Monday. The Detroit catcher, who had not committed a miscue since Sept. 2, 1931, dropped a third strike in the fifth inning of the second game of a double-header at Philadelphia Monday, allowing Jimmy Foxx to reach first and A1 Simmons to score.

YANKS SET MARK OF 129 TILTS WITHOUT SHUTOUT

Pass Record of 1927 Club; Sox Bow Twice Gomez Turns in Twenty-Second Victory Against Six Defeats: Ruffing Also Wins, Giving New York Lead of Eleven and One-Half Games in A. L. By in He 'l Press NEW YORK. Aug. 30.—The New York Yankees, rolling merrily along towand the American League pennant, have set anew modern record by playing 129 games without being shut out once. The second game of Monday’s double-header with the Chicago White Sox rounded out 129 encounters this year, including the protested game with Detroit. This record surpassed the efforts of the great 1927 Yankee team under the late Miller Huggins, which was shut out in its 129th game. The 1927 team had held the mark for the greatest number of games without being blanked in modern baseball. The 1927 Yankee team and the 1901 Pittsburgh National League team hold the modern records for the least number of shutouts in a complete season, with one each. The 1894 National League teams of Boston and Philadelphia hold the all-time season records of no shutouts, but only 132 games were on their schedule as compared with the present 154.

Hits were twentyone for the visitors and seventeen for the home club, with seventeen bases on balls tossed in to make the contest wilder. Right up until the final out it was "anybody's" game, the bases being filled when hostilities ceased as George Smith, recently recalled from Knoxville, turned in a fine bit of relief hurling. He went to the Tribe mound in the ninth with two Millers on base and none down and worked out of the hole despite the fact he issued one pass and filled the sacks.

The Indians held a lead of 10 to 1 in the early innings, but were lucky to escape with the afternoon laurels. The Millers * found the range and at the end of the sixth the score was 12 to 8 in the Tribe's favor. Three markers chalked up by the Hoosiers in the eighth saved the day for Chief McCann. The league leaders got four tallies in that round. Hurlers used were Bolen, Van Gilder and Smith by Indianapolis and Phelps, Donohue, Vandenberg and Hill by the Millers. , Kroner Leads Parade Jack KroneV, young third sacker. was the star of the orgy:' He blasted two home runs, a double and two singles, driving in seven runs. His first circuit drive was delivered in the second inning with the bases loaded. It was a perfect day for him. He scored three times himself and it was his double in the eighth, his fifth hit of the day, that helped put over the needed victory runs. Frank Sigafoos, Tribe second sacker, also was prominent with two doubles and two singles. Glenn Chapman, rookie Hoosier flychaser, weighed in with three hits, one for the circuit that was a “honey,” the drive clearing the center field fence. It was one of the longest homers of the season locally. The youth also played a sparkling fielding game. Two Homers by Richards On the Miller side Paul Richards walloped two homers and a single, and Ray Fitzgerald, former Indian, sent one over the fence. Ray also poled a single. The unusual part of the slugfest was the fact that Joe Hauser, Minneapolis first sacker and the league’s leading home run hitter, was held to two hits, both singles. Ernie Smith, flashy Miller shortstop, accepted eleyen out of twelve chances and collected four hits. Four tilts remain in the seriesone today, two Wednesday and one Thursday. The Miller lead was damaged very little by the Monday defeat, but the Indians were benefitted by retaining their two-game grip on third place, the goal of the K. C. Blues. The Hoosiers are two games behind the second-place Columbus Birds. The Miller advantage over Columbus stands at seven full games.

A. A. Notes

HAVING nothing else to emote about, the Saints and Colonels labelled their current series at St. Paul as a battle for seventh place. The Apostles have been in the hole all season and see a chance to vacate in favor of Louisville. The Apostles won Monday and are 3 1 •* games behind Bruno Betzel’s pastimers. Russ Van Atta, St. Paul southpaw, won his eighteenth tilt of the year. It’s a marvelous achievement for a flinger toiling with a last place club. B B B . Dud Parmalee finally lost one. After hanging up eleven consecutive victories for Columbus against no defeats, the big righthander went down before Kansas City under the lights Monday night. Pete Fowler, who was traded by Columbus to Kansas City, worked up an elegant appetite by blanking his old mates, 7 to 0, with only four hits. tt B B Knickerbocker collected four hits for the Toledo Hens Monday and Metzler led the Brewer attack with four blows, Milwaukee winning, 11 to 5. The victory enabled the Brewers to regain fifth place, Toledo dropping to sixth. GUTHRIE.

—from such a galaxy of star performers. First base, second base and the outfield are the positions causing the most trouble. And even after selecting the stars, the contest entrants are finding it difficult to arrange the team in the same batting order in which they believe Babe Ruth will place his selections. There are only a few simple rules. Pick your ten players from the two big leagues basing your selections on 1932 records, and place them in the order you believe Ruth will have them bat with the two pitchers on the bottom. Do- not pick the Babe. A player may be picked for any position providing he has played in that post at least two or more games. Accompany your entry with an essay of about fifty words, explaining your choice. And don’t forget—Wednesday at midnight is the deadline. An attractive list of prizes awaits the winners.
