By Eddie Ash Old Connie Believes Senators Have ‘lt’ m m m Champ Yankees I,nok Tired, Mack Says
W'HEN the veteran and popular Connie Mack, dean of big league managers, talks he usually says something. The slender and fatherly leader of the Philadelphia Athletics is not given to “popping off” and speaking out of turn, and during a conversation the other day he unloaded a few opinions regarding the tight American League race. If Mack is correct in his estimate, the Yankees are not going to beat out that Senator outfit. Said Connie: “It looks like a Washington year. I am astonished at the poor showing of the New York pitching staff. The Yankees as a whole look very tired. I never saw Lou Gehrig look so bad. One of the game's greatest players, but unnatural now." a a a a a a MANAGER MACK is getting a kirk out of the way Joe Cronin has been successful In keeping the Senators on top Laughing, he commented 'That Washington situation is tunny. Or maybe I have a peculiar sense of humor Once in ten or a dozen years a club like that comes along and makes everything go. It seems Cronin just can not guess wrong No 1 pitchers are taken out for No. 2 hurlers, and the Senators win. I used to remove a second stringer m favor of the firstflight pitrher. but Washington has reversed that method—and is leading the league. Maybe it ;s the proper way to play ball, for it has succeeded.” LAST year Jess*Solt*rs. Baltimore outfielder, was offered to Brooklyn and the New York Giants for $1,500. The price tag on him now is $30,000 Brooklyn paid $25,000 for Joe Hutcheson, Memphis flychaser. And Joe is 20 Ijen Koeneeke, former Indianapolis star, is expected to be called In by the Dodger; any day He is with Buffalo. a a e a a a MOST Cleveland fans now are of the opinion their new manager. Walter Johnson, has established his authority in the minds of the American League Indian.- as a result of the manner in which he handled the young s*ar. Oral Hildebrand, when Hildie chose to criticise the club management Johnson said the other day the controversy is a closed incident. Hoosier Hiloie returned to the team and fell down on a starting assignment, but Johnson thinks the youth soon will regain the form tnat made him a sensation during the early part of the season. a a a a a a "11 7HILE Hildebrand vas explaining his baseball troubles to the CleveW land Press he asserted that Potsy Clark, former Butler university athletic director, had given him a bad recommendation to big league clubs who sought his rhea in college at Indianapolis. Asa matter of fact, it is said Clark signed Hildebrand for the Indianapolis A. A. team and described Hiidie as about the best college baseball prospect ever to come under his observation. Clark said the other day: ''lts too bad that a boy with Hildebrand's ability has to let his temper get the best of him.” a a a a a a EVIDENTLY there was a heat wave in Brooklyn Tuesday. The Giants only got three hits in eleven innings. It was only recently that Manager BUI Terry said: "We are a cold weather ball club.” Managers think up the strangest things.

He moved during the day and then went from his new residence to the ball park. Having his mind on baseball. Bill forgot the street number of his home and there was no phone there. Moreover. the rental office was closed Dale Miller assisted ir. guessing "about” where BUI had moved, and after a search of the neighborhood Thomas finally located his own household. a a a ana Equipoise, the horse many experts rate as the equal of Man o' War, has scored twenty-four victories in thirty-eight trips to the post.

Indians and Brewers Clash in Bargain Bill Prices Reduced at Twilight-Moonlight Double-Header This Evening; Lefty Logan Blanks Saints Tuesday Night to Increase Tribe’s Victory March. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor With their late-season winning streak stretched to six victories in their last seven starts, made at the expense of clubs above them in the race, the Indians next will take on the Milwaukee Brewers, opening with a twilight-moonlight double-header this evening. The first tilt will begin at 4:45 and the second under the lights at 8. It will be a bargain offering, one admission at cut rates being good for both games. LeftyBob Logan treated the St. Paul Saints to nine hard-
boiled goose eggs Tuesday night and the Tribesmen won, 7 to 0. giving the home club three out of four in the series. Young Logan held the enemy to seven scattered hits and clicked off eight strikeouts. It was marvelous pitching, no walks being issued by the youthful southpaw. Miles Thomas ants Lou Fette toiled on the Apostle rubber, the former retiring during a Tribe rally in the fifth.

Tennis Heads Probe Vines By T'nitcd Pro* NEW YORK. Aug. 9 —The United States Lawn Tennis Association has started an investigation into Ellsworth Vines' amateur status. Louis J.

The Nats increased their lead by ! two in the fifth when Buddy Myer ; followed Whitehill's single w’ith a home run over Babe Ruth's head. ! The Senators’ fifth and final run came in the eighth inning when Heinie Manush straightened out one of Allen's curves and dropped ; it in the right field stands. The Yanks threatened to go places in the fifth when Dickey i tripled with but one down. The rally ended, however, when Crosetti struck out and Allen lifted a gentle pop to Cronin. Ruth saved his side two runs in the sixth with a great catch of Schulte's liner. With Cronin on first, Schulte slammed a ball dead between Combs and Ruth. Off with ; the crack of the bat, the Babe pulled it down with one hand alter a sprint of thirty yards. Jimmy Foxx' thirty-second homer of the season, and four-baggers by his mates, Mickey Cochrane and Rog Cramer, boosted Philadelphia to a 7 to 6 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
