Sin I

By Joe Williams Manager McCarthy Is in Toujfh Spot a m m Joe’s N. Y. Y’ankees Are Cracking Up a m a Ruth’s Gate Value Presents Problem

NKW YORK, Aug. 18. —The big town furnishes the two major upsets of the current baseball season. Picked to finish an apologetic sixth, the Giants, leading today by four and a half games, are on their way to the National League championship. Generally conceded to be the strongest team in baseball—a team that couldn’t possibly lose—the Yankees, trailing today by seven and a half games, are on their way to American League oblivion, also ran ranks. Singularly, there appears to be a keener public curiosity in the collapse of the Yankees than in the rise of the Giants, a more widespread and insistent “how come?” a a a ana f S then* dissension’ Is Manager Joe McCarthy to blame? Was It a mistake to tradp George Pipgras? Are the noble athletes In shape? Are they bearing down? You hear it said that McCarthy has the softest Job tn baseball To the extent that McCarthy is liberally supported by the Ruppert bank roll he i in an enviable position in comparison with other managers. But there is another angle to McCarthy's position. The mere fact that he has Ruppert s support makes it tough on him. Every year must be a championship year, or else McCarthy has failed. a a a a a a lbs ANAGERS really aren't that important. They neither make nor 1 break a team. To be sure some are more helpful than others. But if the man power isn't there even the more helpful ones aren't going to make any progress. I,ast year the Yankees won the pennant by thirteen and a half games. They won under this same McCarthy. He looked pretty good then and the answer was the team was winning for him. Shipped to the Red Sox. Pipgras developed into a steady winner. The Yankees have been held bark bv spotty pitching for the past two months, a weakness that has been emphasized by Pipgras' success in Boston. ana a a a I DON'T know whether it was McCarthy’s personal decision to let Pipgras go or not But as I recall the transaction few people complained at the time the young m-n was sold. On the contrary it seemed to he generally agreed that he was not temperamentally geared for frontline work Nor was his success in Boston a surprise. Personally I don't think the Yankees gave up anything but a headache when they gave up Pipgras. a a a a a a nnHE simple truth is the Yanekes are cracking up. A great ball club has A come to the end of the trail. Ruth is through. Gehrig is in an evil slump Lazzeri is fading Sewell Is about finished. Dickey is suffering with appendicitis. Ruffing is out of condition. Gomez is still the great romanttst. MacFayden is a bust, an out-and-out second-rater. An enormous job of reconstruction lies ahead for McCarthy and I should say the sooner he gets *o it the better. Sooner or later the magnificent. Ruth will have to be benched. I know he hit a homer Thursday, but his batting average is down to .108, and you know what he is in the field these days. a a a a a a r>UT how are you going to bench the greatest box office attraction in the game, even if by benching him you strengthen your team and possibly straighten it out for a belated drive to the pennant? Ruth is still the great Gate God They don't come out to see the Yankees. They mine out to see him. McCarthy thus finds hmiself in an extraordinary situation. Championships are one thing; gate receipts another. I predict that when Ruth is benched permanently he will bench himself No manager is going to bench him as long as he is the main dollar lure Baseball isn't run that way.

By lmint Prmt NEW YORK. Aug 18—Lou Gehrig today was holder of the newmajor league record for continuous play, 1.308 consecutive games, but it was the general belief in baseball circles that his less durable New York Yankee mates had cracked up and were virtually out of the American League pennant race.

It was the final tilt between the teams this season and the Saints won the twenty-two-game club and club series, twelve games to ten. Invade Miller Park The Tribesmen moved over to Minneapolis today for four games in three days and the Hoosiers will have to do some hot stepping to beat the Millers, who are especially difficult to knock off in their own park. The Indians got an even break in St. Paul and will be satisfied to do as well in Minneapolis. Both Hoosiers and Apostles peunded the ball hard in the early innings of the Thursday fracas, but after the fourth the Killeferites were halted and the Saints continued to pile up hits and runs. Fenner hit two homers for the Apostles and Hopkins, Fette and Rosenthal one each. Johnny Cooney led the Tribe ten-hit attack with two singles and a double. Pitcher Shines as Hitter Pressed into service as a third sacker owing to injuries of St. Paul regulars, pitcher Lou Fette conducted himself as a hero. He poled a home run and triple, batted in three runs, scored two and handled five chances afield without a miss. The Indians, in third place, arc two and one-half games back of the second-place Millers and just a couple of jumps ahead of the fourth-place Saints, in eighteen clashes this year with Minneapolis, the Tribe has won eleven.

Perroni's first eastern showing, as he battered and smashed the Spaniard, was so unexpectedly impressive that he clinched a match with Jack Sharkey early in October. Patsy gave Gastanaga the worst beating of his career. Only the Spaniard's ruggedness prevented him from a knockout in the late rounds when his bloody face was the target for savage punching flurries. The Cleveland boxer gave a masterly performance, stepping inside the Basque’s swirhing blows to hammer, hook, chop and hack Gastanaga from belt to brow. Perroni won every round but the eighth. A slashing left hook opened Gastanaga's right eyebrow in the fifth, and it bled freely during the remainder of the bout. Perroni weighed 189: Gastanaga. 190 H.
