DrEwa the Giants, 4 to 0, with five hits gave him a bigger thrill than pitching two successive no-hit games, Johnny Vander Meer: states in an article appearing in the Saturday Evening Post. “I like to believe May 20 was the greatest day in my baseball career because I made good that day in my own heart,” Vander Meer writes. ‘I pitched a five-hit, 4-to-0 shutout against the league-leading New York Giants,” the young pitcher for the Reds continues. “It was my first complete big league victory of the 1938 season, and when the last Giant was out I felt IT had arrived as a major leaguer. Until that game, I still was a question mark.” Young, Vande

Hank Gowdy, veteran catcher, who serves as battery coach of the Cincinnati club, for developing him into a top flight pitcher....He also is grateful to Judge K. M. Landis, baseball's commissioner, for some advice. “Judge Landis grabbed me by the shoulders a few days after I pitched my second straight no-hit game and said: “ ‘Young man, remember two games don’t make you!

It’s over the years that count.’ ” y

300 Entered In Handicap Competition

All Given Even Break ,at|

Title as No Winner Has Repeated.

BULLETIN , VANDALIA, O., Aug. 26 (U. P)). —Parr Rhines, Marseilles, Ill. to-: day took an early lead in the Grand American Handicap when

he broke 99 out of 100 targets. :

from 19 yards. ° Rhines broke 98 “birds” in a row and then missed a target. He steadied himself and cracked the last target of the event.

VANDALIA, O., Aug. 26 (U. P.).— Every man, woman and boy who toted ‘a shotgun up to the firing line had an equal chance today as more than 800 sharpshooters began firing in the Grand American Trapshooting Handicap. There was no such thing as a favorite—there never is—in. this blue ribbon event of the 39th Grand American Tournament which ends today. Never, since the event was inaugurated in 1900, has a winner repeated. And there was no reason to expect that tradition would be shattered today.

Distances Hange The reason is that each year, as returning shooters improve, they are placed farther and farther back from the targets. Distances range from 16 yards for the novices to 26 for the top-flight experts. Only once has the event been taken by a man firing from the 25yard line—in 1933 by Walter Beaver of Berwyn, Pa., who broke 98 out of 100 targets. It has never been won by a woman but there was one on the line today who might take the grand prize. She was Mrs. Lela Hall, a Twentieth Century “Annie Oakley” from Strasburg, Mo. Joe Hiestand, the Hilsboro, O, farmer -who set a world record of 966 - consecutive breaks this week, will have to shoot from the 25-yard

tline along with Phil Miller, French

Lick, Ind. winner of this year’s Class AA title, Youth will be represented by Rudy Etchen, 15, the Kansas champion, who will shoot from 23 yards. More than $10,000 in prizes will be distributed, with the winner getting $1000, if he or she is a professional.

MAROONS DROP OUT OF HOCKEY LEAGUE

Coasting to Fifth Crown

Joe McCarthy, master handler of ball Slayers. « + « They do it

his way or Jes shipped. ®

# 8

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Joe McCarthy is in the not altogether unpleasant process of winning his fifth major league championship, or his current New York Yankees are doing it for him. Just where the exact and proper credit in these things lies is often open to debate. It's a debate dating back generations—does the manager make the team or the team the manager? It has always seemed to me the best

way to dismiss this controversy is¢

to accept the obvious fact that there are good managers and bad managers. McCarthy is unquestionably a gocd manager. Indeed, it is highly probable he is as good a manager as there is in baseball. Some critics are reluctant to give him full credit because he is backed by the Ruppert millions, which in turn, provide him with the best scouting system and the most intelligently operated farm system in the business. This being so, the dissenting critics ask, “How can he miss?” There is no doubt that McCarthy has a far more simple problem than. is faced,

say, by Jimmy Wilson of the Phil- |} lies, or Gabby Street of the Browns. | But it has been demonstrated more

than once that millions don’t necessarily buy championships, and that even the most perfect farm system can prove inadequate. MeCarthy is an excellent manager because he knows how to handle men, how to make them play together for the good of the club rather than for individual credits, how to get the most out of these men, Briefly, that’s about all there is te managing a team. It’s an open air executive's job. McCarthy won't™ have anybody around him who isn’t a team player. Ben Chapman was a fine outfielder and Seong ‘Allen was a

Owner Bradley said that Manager Oscar Vitt would remain “to wield the broom.” He said that the 1939 team would be built around Osear Grimes and Tommy Irwin, infielders now with Milwaukee. Their contracts are owned oy Cleveland. Bradley attributed the team’s slide of the past several weeks to the players “quitting® when pitching went bad.” He said that the shakeup would not touch Ken Keltner, young third baseman; Hal Trosky, hardhitting first sacker, nor Jefl Heath, reguldr left fielder.

“| Pirate Lead Cut

To 41, Games.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (U. P)— Don’t hand the National League pennant to the Pittsburgh Pirates— at least not yet. . Yesterday morning, the Pirates were rolling along six games out in front and striving to add to that lead and win their first pennant since 1927. Behind them were the

: champions of the last two years, the

New York Giants. In third place, 6% games behind the pace, were the

1 Cincinnati. Reds, while the Chicago

Cubs languished in fourth, 8% games out of the lead. Today, the Pirates were only 4% games in front of the Giants and 614 ahead of the Cubs and Reds who are tied for third. The lowly Philadelphia ‘Phillies, cellar occupants, were responsible. They bumped the Pirates twice yesterday by the same scores, 2-1. The Cubs licked Brooklyn, 3-2 and 5-4, while the Boston Bees trounced Cin- | 3 cinnati, 6-4 and 3-2. New York defeated St. Louis, 8-7. From now on, the Pirates and other first division teams will find the lower division clubs tougher and

‘tougher to beat, the same as it has

been in past stretch races. The New York Yankees maintained their 12-game League lead with a twin victory over Cleveland, 5-2 and 15-3. The Vittmen dropped to third place, 14 games behind the Yanks as Boston moved up with 1-0 and 9-5. victories

HIA, Aug. 26 (U. PJ. —Bud Hamilton was recovering today from painful burns and acute embarrassment. Hamilton was watching the St. Louis Browns-Philadelphia Athletics ball game at Shibe Park yesterday— ladies’ day—when a box of matches ignited in his pocket. Torn between propriety and pain —sinee nearly all of his neighbers were women — Hamilton decided propriety meant less to him, so he tore off his trousers and dashed up the stairs. = But the flames found new fuel in his shirt tail. A quick witted concessionaire soaked Hamilton with orange juice and he fled pantless
