A Lift Instead of a Shove

REFUSING to join in the anvil chorus against Ted Williams, Cunnincham of the Boston Post goes to his defense, claiming case of the Red Sox outfielder is small potatoes and that the 1oster should be given a lift instead of a shove “The celebrated Williams case is very small potatoes for all concerned,” asserts Cunningham “Ganging a defenseless kid, who’ v a kid, despite the majesty of 22 whole years, who's away rom home little over his depth and unused to ways and people in this part of the country. is nothing to be proud of. “Another Hershberger case would be a love ely tribute sport wouldn't Regardless of this or that, or what form it takes, this particuiar boy is very unhappy How about giving him a hand over the tough places?

How they tell that is beyond me. Sam doesn’t get the quakes or quivers. He has a deadpan face that never lights up at a good shot or goes cloudy over a bad one. He stays in there and slugs and anybody who does that can't have Kkiyoodle. No, it's something else.

Entire Staff To Remain,

Says Miller

Reds Consulted in Drive. For New Talent

By EDDIE ASH Setting at rest rumors of executive changes in the Indianapolis baseball club setup, President Leo T. Miller announced today that Jewel Ens has accepted terms to continue as Tribe field pilot in

1941.

Dale Miller will remain as secretary and Karl Scheick as treasurer,

the Indian chieftain added. “As a matter fact the Perry Stadium staff of 1940 will continue in office from top to bottom,” President Miller stated. “The ‘downtown managers.’ have been doing a lot of whispering and guessing and this announcement is made to set the fans right on our next year’s plans. Rebuilding Under Way

“The Indians in August renewed the player working agreement with the Cincinnati Reds to extend through 1941 and the two clubs have already discussed wavs and means of routing new talent to Indianapolis for next season. “The rebuilding started with the conditional purchase of outfielder Castle and catcher Lakeman from Columbia of the South Atlantic League. They come to us recom(mended by experienced baseball observers and will report next spring. “Birmingham, the Southern Association club owned by the Reds, has a few players ripe for promotion to | Class AA and the Indians hope to | bolster certain positions with Baron graduates.

Yanks and 1st

Tigers and Mutineers Drop Twin Bills

By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The gleeful Yankees today were shouting: “Next stop, first place!” With 14 out of their last 16 and 21 out of 25, the Yanks have moved into second place and now all that stands between them and the top is Cleveland. And the Yanks don’t consider the Mutineers a team to worry about. Yankee hopes received a big shot in the arm yesterday They split a double-header with the Athletics before 69,940 persons— the season's third largest crowd— and yet gained a full game on both Cleveland and Detroit. When the Yanks can lose a game and still

gain, things are coming right down their alley.

Thanks to Browns, Chisox

The Browns and the White Sox did the Yanks a tremendous favor. The Browns, who've been mean and ugly to the Vittmen all season, wal= loped the “Team of Mutiny” before 52491 Cleveland fans, 2-1 and 3-0. Fred Haney's club is now all even on the season's series with Cleve= land at 10 games each, The White Sox polished off the Tigers twice, 12-1 and 4-0, dumping Detroit into third place. After running their winning streak to eight straight by beating the Athletics, 6-3, in the opener, the Yanks struck a snag in the nightcap and lost, 3-0. Johnny Ba= {bich did the honors with a cute
