‘Eddie Ash YANKEES GOING FOR RECORDS

WINNING FLAGS IN CLUSTERS

PAGE 18

HEN the New York Yankees clinch their third straight pennant, this month, it will be the first time ‘in either the American or National League that a club will have won three clusters of three pennants in 17 years. ; The Yankees first wrapped three together under Miller Huggins in 1921, 1922 and 1923, and gave the Miller his second batch of three in 1926, 1927 and 1928. 2 This year’s flag will make it three in a row for Joe McCarthy. . . . McCarthy also will have a chance to be the first manager to win three successive World’s Championships. Donte Mack is the only manager who had a crack at this distinction and lost it when the Cardinals defeated his last great Athletics club in seven games in 1931.

” 8 ” » t 4 2 AUL TROUT, the young chucker developed by Indianapolis in 1936 and who brought a fancy price from the Detroit Tigers, was voted the most valuable player in the Texas League by sports writers throughout the circuit. . The Hoosier Dizzy of the mound profession received 27 points, more than twice the number of his nearest rival. + « « Thirteen players figured in the voting. Trout is with Beaumont, a Detroit farm, and was sent there by Toledo early this season. ... Hell probably go South with the Tigers next spring. . . . The big fellow trained with the Bengals in 1937, but spent that season with the Mud Hens.

: SCAR ECKHARDT, former Indianapolis fly chaser, is leading O Texas League hitters with the healthy average of 374. . . . He patrols left field for San Antonio. In a recent double-header with Pt. Worth, the Ox had the harrowing experience of getting to second base eight times without ever reaching third. . . . Here's how: Afternoon game, first inning—Thrown out trying to stretch hit into triple. : Third—Walked, went to second on balk, picked off base by Catcher Mackie. Sixth—Doubled. Hit by ball batted by Newman, and so was out. Eighth—Singled, took second on passed ball, left on base. Night game, first inning—Reached second on two-base error by Flippen and then caught off second. : . Third—Doubled. Called out for not having touched first base. Fifth—Walked, went to second on single, forced at third. Eighth—Doubled. Game called on account of rain. ® ” 2 ” » »

J= GALLAGHER, hefty outfielder, won first prize in a recent fungo hitting contest in Kansas City. . . . His first drive did the business. . .. Vernon Washington, St. Paul's injured outfielder, has been sent to his Texas home to rest up until 1939. . . . The hard hitter was knocked out of action on June 4 and never returned to the lineup. Cincinnati has recalled pitcher Charles (Red) Barrett from Syracuse in an effort to bolster the Reds’ staff down the stretch. . .. Red won 16 games and lost three in the International League, mostly in relief roles. Ernie Lombardi, the Reds’ slugging catcher, may wind up the season as a stockholder in the club. ... A Cincy sportsman has” promised Ernie a share if he finishes the season hitting .350 or better. ... The catcher’s average today was .344. : . ” » 2 ” ” o

LAY SMITH, right-handed hurler who started the season with \4 Indianapolis, has been purchased by Cleveland from Wilkes-Barre of the Eastern League. . . . Griffith Stadium, Washington, already is equipped with a night lighting plant, which indicates night ball for the Senators in 1939.

Warren Giles, general manager, has announced that the Cincinnati

club will not renew its working agreement with Syracuse team of the -

TIGERS

Along in Homer Drive; Reds Advance.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

. NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—Come up on the platform Del Baker, and you, Hank Greenberg, you, Charley Gehringer, and all the rest of your Detroit Tigers. Now tell the folks how to beat the New York Yankees—a job which is becoming the toughest task in baseball. Del Baker—“You've gotta outslug ‘em. That's the only way.” Hank Greenberg—“You've gotta outslug ’em. That’s the only way.” Charley Gehringer—“You've gotta outslug ’em. That's the only way.” That testimony is the unanimous opinion of the Detroit ball club. All the Tigers say the same thing and yesterday they proved it was the right way by plastering a’'12-6 defeat on the Yanks, overpowering them with sheer brawn.

- EXCUSED FROM LOAFING CHICAGO, Sept. 1 (U. P.)— Dizzy. Dean, $185,000 problem pitcher of the Chicago Cubs, “has been excused from hanging around for games” because of a slight cold, the club’s physician said toda

¥. “It’s not serious,” said the: doctor, “just a matter of a chilly day sitting on the bench.”

Pittsburgh’s Pirates, fully recovered from their “pennant shakes” and on the high road to the National League championship, might well take a tip from a Tiger in their preparations for the October World Series. The Tigers laid down a 14hit barrage, including six doubles and two homers {to smother the

Yanks. Hank Gets No. 46 Hank Greenberg blasted homer No. 46—putting him six games and six days ahead of~sBabe Ruth's 1927 record-breaking pace—and two doubles. It was one of his greatest days in Yankee Stadium, his jinx park. } It was the first time since Aug. 2

pennant race. They had a full game shaved off their lead and now have to struggle along on a l4-game margin, temporarily at least. The defeat snapped a five-game Yankee winning streak. : Bill Harris snapped the Boston Red Sox’s three-game losing streak by pitching a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Ken Keltner's 23d and 24th homers featured Cleveland’s 8-6 victory over the Athletics. Johnny Whitehead allowed only four hits in pitching the Chicago White, Sox to a 7-0 triumph over Washington. + Pittsburgh held its 612-game lead in the National League by splitting a twin bill with the New York Giants, 6-5. Because of a tangle of runners at third base in the sixth inning and a misconstrued ruling, the Pirates lodged a protest. The Pirates slugged out 16 hits to win the nightcap, 12-3. Cubs Fourth Now Scoring three runs in the ninth the Boston Bees continued their blazing pace in the West with a 6-4

place. Garm’s single tied the score and then Bill Lee forced in the winning run with a walk with the bases loaded. The Cardinals nosed out the Phillies twice, 2-1 in 10 innings and The Cincinnati Reds moved into third place with a 9-3 victory over Brooklyn in a night game. Charley Barrett, recalled this week from Syracuse, held the Dodgers to seven hits. Lombardi and McCormick hit homers for the Reds in the sixth, The victory left the Reds 6% games . behind Pittshurgh and virtually tied with the Giants.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1 (U.P) — The mighty Bambino won't be back. As a coach, yes; as a managerial prospect, perhaps; but as the great home run hitter of old, Babe Ruth is through. That was the verdict today of “Judge” Burleigh Grimes, who, as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is Babe’s boss. Ruth, the coach, asked Burleigh to reinstate him as an active player so that he could get back in there occasionally for a swing as pinch-hitter. Burleigh said “no” and issued: this statement: “Babe’s & great coach, but he ean’t help either himself or our club in the lineup. He quit in 1935 because of that fading. right eye. He complains about pain-wracked knees daily. “He asks to play. His enthusiasm has forgotten the frailities of the flesh.” ;

Seven-hit pitching by John Niggeling, a 10-hit attack against Al Fisher and Columbus miiscues contributed to the Tribe's 8-to-3 victory last night. Steve Mesner, with three singles, and Buddy Lewis, with a pair of doubles, paced the home team in the hit column. The Tribesters’ big inning was the third when they tallied five runs on three hits, a walk and three errors. Three runners scored after two down when Lyn King dropped Jimmy Pofahl’s fly in left-center field, and Fausett and Mesner batted in two. Eddie Morgan was best hitter for the Birds with three safeties, two being well placed bunts.
