$12,000 POT SPURS CONTENDERS

HOW A. A. DIVIDES PRIZE MONEY

Indianapolis Times Sports

POT of gold containing $12,000 is dangling before the eyes of the American Association first-division players as they race down the stretch that leads to the end of the league’s 36th campaign, two weeks from Sunday and the start of the annual play-off series two days later. . . . Half of the $12,000 will be decided when the regular season closes, the other half when the play-offs are terminated. "hn The club winning the league pennant will receive $4000 to split among its players, while the runners-up will divide $2000 from the league's treasury. The play-offs start Sept. 14, with the third-place club the guests of the pennant winners and the fourth-placers invading the home grounds of the runners-up... . . The series will run for seven games or until one of the contenders, in each case, has scored four victories.

" Ed n ” ” "

OSERS in the first series will receive their salary up to . the close of the series, while the victors, in addition to their pay checks, go on to play for the other $6000 from the pot of gold. . . . The team losing the final play-off will split $2000 while the victors will divide $4000 and also will earn the right to participate in the Junior World Series as the American Association’s representatives against the triumphant club in the International League play-offs. In the Junior classic, 60 per cent of the receipts of the first four games go into a players pool, this to be divided 60 per cent to the winners and 40 per cent to the losers of the series. . . . This, like the play-offs will be a best four-out-of-seven affair. . . . Milwaukee, St. Paul, Kansas City and Indianapolis were first-division finishers last year. . « « In the play-offs, the Brewers eliminated the Blues, the Indians knocked out the Saints, and in the finals Mil.waukee downed Indianapolis and went on to trounce Buf.falo in the Junior World Series. ; u £3 n ® ” n

HE history of the National League pennant race the last three years has been that the winning club staged a late-season spurt and knocked off its chief rival. . . . The Cards did it in 193¢ by bowling over the Giants, the Cubs accomplished the same thing in 1935 with their 22-game winning streak, with the Cards as the final victims. . . . And last season the Giants staged a drive in late August that poiished off both Cubs and Cards.

The Cubs ran the bases like wild men in the first game, and had five men nipped-—Galan at the plate, Demaree at third, Hartnett at second and off first, and Hack off second. They pounded Carl Hubbell severely, getting 10 hits and six runs off him but they finally beat | themselves. Harry Gumbert handcuffed them in the second game, yielding seven scattered hits.

The score at the Tribe park last night was 10 to 1 and the home pastimers didn't have a chance, They were outclassed. Minneapolis collected 14 blows off two pitchers, McLaughlin and Johnson, and the visitors’ safeties included a home run by Kress, triples by Spence, Peacock and Harry

Pfleger. Belve Bean pitched for the winners and kept nine hits scattered. The home run was Kress’ 27th of the season. The torrid battle for the pennant between three clubs remained unchanged. Columbus, defeated Kansas City, and Toledo, tied with Minneapalis for second, knocked off Milwaukee. The Red Birds are just a half a game ahead of Mud Hens and Millers. Max Macon of the Birds chalked up his 20th victory. He is the first pitcher in the league to reach that | figure.
