FORMER CLEVELAND players haven't tossed posies in the path of the pennant-conscious Vittmen, points out Harry Grayson, NEA Service sports editor, in a rundown of the athletes on other American League clubs who used to wear the Cleveland livery

and who break out now and then to pester their old club. Joe Heving went the route in dealing Cleveland its only reverse on its last visit in Boston. Steve Sundra let the Vittmen down with six hits in New York . won his own game with a two-run single in the seventh. Bill Knickerbocker drove in the winning run in the ninth to give the Yankees a clean sweep. Buddy Myer, who was Cleveland property as far back as 1925, tripled with the bases full to turn back the Vittmen in Washington. Bruce Campbell's two singles and home run inside the park helped to repulse Bob Feller and give the crippled Tigers a running start in Detroit. Campbell settled the issue the following afternoon after Dick Bartell was purposely passed to give Southpaw Al Smith a crack at a left-hand hitter. The Scotsman parked one in the upper right field stands and scored behind Birdie Tebbetts and Bartell. Billy Sullivan Proves Versatility THIS ENGAGEMENT became a rout when, in the ensuing round, Billy Sullivan tripled off Joe Dobson tec chase Hank Greenberg and Rudy York across the plate. . . . Sullivan hoofed it home on Tebbetts' fly. Sullivan. who wasn't rated too highly as a catcher in Cleveland but who found himself as Bo-Bo Newsom's battery mate, once more proved his versatility by filling in for the ailing Pinky Higgins at third base. With Barney McCosky out Earl Averill, long a hero in Cleveland, plays center field for Detroit when a righthander toils for the opposition

WHILE CLEVELAND is indebted to Chicago for many victories this year, one-time Cleveland players now with the White Sox have caused considerable annovance all the way along the route— little Skeeter Webb, Moose Solters, Thornton Lee and Clint Brown, the relief worker. Tommy Henrich, whom Cyril Slapnicka, Cleveland vice president, kept in the minors until he was declared a free agent by Judge Landis, played an important role in the Yankees’ late surge before he was injured Saturday If the Cleveland mutineers fail to make the grade, after having been practically conceded the flag, they can't put all the blame on their harassed manager, Oscar Vitt, for they haven't exactly been helped along by old team-mates.

At Any Rate, Cleveland Got the Apples

THE TIGERS won the ball games but the Cleveland boys got the apples. Last Friday the Michigan State Department of Agriculture intended to present 10 bushels of its very best apples 1e Tigers who had bumped off Cleveland twice and were preparing to make 1t three in a row. But somebody got his sighals crossed. . . . The apples were sent to a Mr. C. H. Chapman of the Agriculture Department, at the Bookadillac Hotel However. instead of Mr. C. H Chapman getting the apples, they were given by mistake to Ben Chapman, Cleveland outfielder The messenger told Ben that the apples were “for the ball plavers,” so big-hearted Ben, thinking some Cleveland fan was seeing that the Vittmen had their apple a day, passed out all the apples.

THE YANKEE pennant drive features more and more the pitch= ing of recruit Ernie Benham. . . . This strong voung hurler dubbed Tiny, the standard baseball nickname for a lad of 215 pounds, came up from Kansas City only five weeks ago, vet has displayed all the poise and stuff, and much of the cunning. of a veteran big league pitcher, His record is impressive enough . The 2-1 victory over the Washington Senators last Thursday in the opener was his fourth in a I'ow In those four he defeated Detroit, Chicago and Washington e, allowing only 24 hits and four runs And to top off that summary with an added bit of class, Bonham walked only one of the 132 hitters he faced in four games.

” un ®

ALL OF Bonham's value to the club isn't revealed in those figures. . . . Who can estimate what it has meant to Manager joe McCarthy to have another reliable nine-inning pitcher in the regular rotation during the last month? Bonham has pitched five complete games since the Yankee flag drive opened Aug. 9. Tiny's combination of youthful endurance and professional skill may have been that extra something the club needed to mow the enemy down once more. . . . Certainly he is in the right department, I ditching staff, because the fate of the Yankees rests largely 1 the hurlers. . . . The club displays little of the overwhelming power other vears.

BULLETIN WINGED FOOT GOLF CLUB, MAMARONECK, N. Y,, Sept. 9 (U.

Among those who ran into serious trouble was Bing Croshy, the Hollywood crooner, who took a 40-43—83. Best score among the early finishers was made by John F. Cree, Hamburg, N.

Rich men and poor men, crooners from Hollywood, auto salesmen and insurance agents are in the field that will play 18 holes today and 18 tomorrow in a fight for the 64 places

White Sox, 5-4, in 10 innings. Jeff Heath's double and Ray Mack's single drove in the deciding run. Bob Feller came in as a relief pitcher for Al Milnar in the ninth, and allowed only one hit and fanned three in the two innings he worked. Feller was credited with the victory, his 24th. Rudy York's homer in the eighth enabled the Tigers to trim the Browns, 5-4, and continue to blow their hot breaths right on the Indians’ necks. After the Browns got away to a 4-0 lead, the Tigers rallied to tie the score on vicious

Tony said. “We have a No. 1 headache on four hands finding a backfield. Grade [uation wrecked last year's power house. Only Hank Abts, Ralph Swager, Jim Garwood and Dick Fruechtenicht of last year's lettermen are back,” he moaned. “The reserve strength and a lot of our scoring punch will have to come from last season's reserves and the sophomore crop.”
