NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—With the exception of Mr. Lou Gehrig, one of our oldest inhabitants, they ought to charge the Yankee infielders admission to the World Series. Cerisinly the lads have done little to earn
their way into the park. They have been both negligent in;
‘I the field and negligible at the bat.
Yes, at the bat. They are, to be sure, members of the famed and fierce Murderers’ Row, but judging from the records you could hardly accuse them of slaughtering pitchers. Somebody else has been doing the dirty work. Take Mr. Red Rolfe, the Yankee third baseman, for example. His batting average is an anemic .270-or-so and is exceeded by six other third basemen in the league. The only fellow tradesman he is outhitting -is poor old rheumatic Tony Piet of the Chicago White Sox. Five third basemen also have driven in more runs than Rolfe. Harland Clift, of St. Louis, for instance, has driven home twice as many. Rolfe’s inferiority out in the fleld has been just as pronounced. At least four rivals are better than he afield—Werber of Philadelphia, Clift of St. Louis, Higgins of Boston and Lewis of Washington. So much for Rolfe.
Crosetti Slumps at Bat
At shortstop, the Yankees have a man who is being outhit by five shortfielders.
Travis of Washington, Cronin of Boston, Appling of Chicago, Lary of Cleveland and Knickerbocker of St. Louis boast better-nourished averages than Frankie Crosetti’s skimpy .240-or-so. In addition, all four have driven home more mates than Frankie. Crosetti, sometimes spectacular afield, most of the time dependable, has heen scattery-armed this season and fumbly-fingered. Probably because of the uncertainty at second. . Tony Lazzeri, his partner around the keystone sack, as the boys call it, is just about done for as a regular player. He has been slow, unsteady and brittle this year. His slowness undoubtedly. affected Crosetti’s work. As a result, the Yankees have made less double plays than any other team in the league. The fact that it must be Lazzeri’s fault was proved when he was taken out of the lineup for a month and the Yanks averaged about one twin-killing a game with Don Heffner pivoting in his place. Tony Can Still Blast Em It was a hand fracture that put Tony out of the lineup and while languishing on the bench Tony allowed as how he thought it was time for him to quit. However, now that the hand has mended he has yeturned to the lineup and Joe Mc‘Carthy plans to use him throughout the World Series. Lazzeri is being outhit by six other American League second basemen, and also by his substitute Heffner, but he still has that knack of blasting out a long ‘un now and then to break up the ball game. For instance, the day he came back he knocked a 407-foot double off the right-center field fence in Yankee Stadium. Tony, wobbling legs, broken hand and all, is still able to chase his pals across the plate. He's driven in 60 this season. Gehrig May Make Good
And McCarthy hasn't forgotten the way Tony, the old man, acted up last fall when he became the second man in history to hit a homer with the bases full in a World Series. That memory, more than anything else, will keep little Don Heff-

ner on the bench and give the second base job to Lazzeri. As for first base, the Yankees seem to be doing all right there. A young fellow named Lou Gehrig, who has been on trial for the past few years, is expected to get a steady job out of it. At least, he ought to last long enough to survive the World Series, which will keep the Yankee inner cordon, as the 1910 gazettes used to say, from complete disgrace.

Birds Clinch Loop Playoff
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 28.—Pitching four-hit ball, Morton Cooper of the Columbus Red Birds defeated the Milwaukee Brewers here yesterday, 10 to 4, and the victory clinched the American Association playoff for the Buckeyes. The Birds annexed the series four games to two. Columbus, winner in the regular A. A. race, will represent the league in the Little World Series against the Newark Bears of the International circuit. The title play is to open in Newark tomorrow night.
ATLANTA, Ga. Sept. 28.—Little Rock and Atlanta play their sixth game in the Southern Asosciation playoff today to determine which team will meet Ft. Worth, of the Texas League, for the Southern championship. Little Rock led, three games to two, and needed one victory to clinch the right to meet the Texas champions. Atlanta won last night's game, 6-5, and needed two games to clinch the series.
Donohue Makes Long Run for Touchdown
Scoring touchdowns in the first and third periods, Crispus Attucks High School eleven defeated the Silent Hoosiers, 12-0, yesterday on the Indiana Deaf School gridiron. Donohue returned a punt 65 yards for the first score and White tallied the second on a series of line plunges. Kaim, right guard, and Martin, quarterback, starred for the losers. Russell and Corley, Attucks players, received injuries which will keep them out of action for a short time.

Stretch Lead.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The New York Giants approached the mathematical certainty of clinching the National League pennant today. The World Series opens a week from tomorrow, and the Giants need only four more victories in their nine remaining games regardless of the Chicago Cubs’ results. With three double-headers in the next three days, the Giants are likely to nail down the pennant by Thursday. They are 412 games in front of the Cubs. Early speculation regarding the World Series centered on the opening day pitchers. Indications are that the Yankees will be 9-5 favorites. Lefty Gomez appears to be certain of getting the call for the Yanks in the first game. The turn of events the past 10 days has shifted Cliff Melton, Black Mountain, N. C., southpaw, into the favored spot over Carl Hubbell. Melton gets a chance to pitch the Giants nearer the pennant today and win his 20th game against the Boston Bees. Al Smith will work the other game. The Bees’ pitchers will be Lou Fette and Danny Macfayden. The Giants ran their winning streak to six in a row yesterday by snatching two from the Bees, 5-4 and 3-1. Fette, coming in as a relief pitcher in the eighth, balked with the bases loaded, forcing in the winning run in the first game. In the second game Jim Turner fumbled Bill Lohrman’s bunt which set the stage for the Giants’ winning rally. The Cubs trimmed the Reds, 7-4, on long distance hitting, doubles by Herman, Galan and Demaree and a triple by Hack. Brooklyn: dropped its 12th straight game as the Phillies pounded out a 11-3 victory over the Dodgers. Chuck Klein hit two homers. The Boston Red Sox split a twin bill with the Athletics. Jimmy Foxx hit homers No. 35 and 36 as the Red Sox copped the opener, 6-2. Detroit nosed out Cleveland, 2-1.

Hershey Golfer One Up After First Nine.
BELMONT, Mass., Sept. 28 (U. P), —Playing in a steady drizzle, Henry Picard of Hershey was one up over his fellow Pennsylvanian and Ryder Cup teammate, Byron Nelsen of Reading, at the end of the first nine holes of their 36-hole International Open Golf Championship final match today. Both players were shooting for the $3000 top prize. The runnerup gets $2000. Picard played the outward nine of the morning round in par 36 while Nelson had 37. | Nelson took the lead on the 345yard par 4 second hole which he birdied. This advantage was short lived. Nelson fell victim to a pair of stymies. On the fourth, Nelson half-stymied himself after recovering from the rough and Picard took advantage of the break by coming through with a birdie to square the match.
with a birdie 4 by laying Nelson a partial stymie. Another birdie on the eighth made Picard two up after Nelson barely missed halving the hole when his 14-foot putt stopped short. Nelson cut the lead on the ninth, however, when he dropped in a 10 footer after Nelson missed a l4footer.
