WRITING in the New York World-Telegram, Dan Daniels says that every time the Yankees are about to enter a world series Manager Joe McCarthy naively announces, “We are not going to scout our National league

opponents.

We don’t want to be bothered with too much

information about their batting habits. Then Daniel dashes off a piece on the shrewd Yankees, in part,

like this:

“But don’t let Marse Joe fool you. He is too thorough a

manager to pass up any possible sources of assistance. Just who

does his spying he never will even hint.

But he

goes into every classic with a complete book on every hitter of the National league club, from a

competent source. .

“This year the Yankees will go into the world series with a lot of information about their rivals | which they had gleaned from/direct contacts. They know all about the Dodgers from the 1941 classic and from several exhibition meetings with them

~ last spring.

“And they have a fine line on the Cardinals : from the nine exhibition meetings with them In st.

"Petersburg last spring.

“The Cards took the Yankees by six games to Joe

McCarthy

three. But if the St. Louis club wins the right to represent the old

circuit, let this not frighten adherents of the Yankees.

March

exhibitions, in which veterans are unready and rookies’ have to yet all the opportunities possible, can have no serious bearing on world series competition between the same teams.

~~ Yanks Were Loaded Up Last Fall

“The Yankees last October operated against the Dodgers with the -most comprehensive and accurate dope Manager McCarthy yet had

obtained for a world series.

They were tipped even to Hugh Casey’s

occasional spitters, one of which got away from Mickey Owen in the phantom third out in the ninth inning of the fourth game. “From now on McCarthy will work his pitchers with an eye to

the series.

He is in a position to draw up a schedule and adhere

to it religiously. For he has his pennant, and with victory No. 100. already chalked up he is going to achieve a minor ambition and again

pass the century mark. “The Cardinals and the Dodgers

are in no position to give any

thought to the classic, and must work their hurlers as seems best + fram day to day. Mark this down as an advantage to the Yankees.

Rufling to Lead of for McCarthy “NAMING THE pitchers for the world series opener in the Na-

tional league park on

nesday, Sept. 30, appears to entail no

solution of mysteries. For Ythe Yankees it is quite certain to be Charlie Ruffing. In fact, Big Red knows that already, and is pacing

himself accordingly.

“He deserves the distinction, and, besides, if he has to go a second time he needs all the rest he possibly can get after the opener.

s ” -

# # #

“IF THE Cardinals win the right to tackle the Yankees, they

: certainly will open with' Mort Cooper.

Manager Billy Southworth

“doubtless would be tempted to send Max Lanier against. the Yankees, , even though their season’s score against southpaws is 23 to 11. But Cooper is the ace. For the Dodgers it emphatically would be Whit-

low Wyatt.”

Louis and Conn

Get Chance To Pay Bills

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Latest an-

nouncement from the sportswriters’ committee regarding the Louis-

Conn fight accentuates the. part Promoter Mike Jacobs plays in modern pugilism as the “bank-roll

guy.” The announcement that both Bomber Joe and Billy-the-Kid would participate in the gate brought the following listings of indebtedness to the fore: (1) Louis owes the 20th Century: club, or Mike Jacobs, $59,805.50. The fact that Louis also owes his co-man-ager John Roxborough, $41,148.03 is more or less unimportant. Contender Billy Conn owes Jacobs’ 20th: Century club $34,500. . In other words Louis and Conn owe Promoter Jacobs a total of $94,305—money that Jacobs already has invested as loans to champion and challenger so they could keep up with “the Joneses.” Under the latest announcement from the committee of writers, both Louis and Conn will be permitted to settle their immediate personal debts out of the grosse receipts— which include gate, ‘radio and movies. A Lot of Money

Those debts doubtless will be -settled, but meanwhile, Promoter Jacobs holds the bag for $59,805.50 owed by Louis, and $34,500 owed by Conn. That combination of $94,305, is a lot of money, and guaranteed by the writers’ committee. The big difference ‘between the late Rickard and the current Jacobs is this: Jacobs gambles with his o-w-n money, whereas Rickard gambled with the Madison Square Garden corporation’s dough. In the final analyses, the answers are much different. : In view of yesterday’s announcement, in the immediate question is this: How, could Louis—as a serg-

nearly $50,000 to Mike Jacobs and more than $41,000 to Co-manager Roxborough?

Louis Isn't Broke

Well—in the first place—a heavyweight champion lives more freely than any athlete in any other division or branch of. sports. Jolting Joe’s standard of living would make Joe DiMaggio or Ted Williams of the baseball field look like pikers. Also, Louis bought about $22,000 worth of boxing gloves and other equipment for his Negro com rades at Camp Upton and at Ft. Riley, Kas. ) Heavyweight Champion Louis is not broke. He has important investments in Chicago and Detroit properties—but investments that yield him no income. But it must be remembered that in the two preceding years of 1940 and ’41, Bomber Joe hammered out an income of at least one million per year—one-third of which he gave to his co-man-agers. f But neither Louis nor Conn have earned anything for themselves in 1942. Hence Jacobs still: is the bankroll man—just as he has been down through the years—since he entered the promotional field by backing the Barney Ross-Billy Petrolle fight at the Bronx coliseum in 1933—nine years ago.

Alsab Awarded Pull in Weight

PAWTUCKET, R. I, Sept. 19 (U. P.) —Whirlaway, born to the purple, and Alsab, from the wrong side of the railroad tracks, meet today in the greatest match race of the American turf since Seabiscuit beat War Admiral at Pimlico in 1938. \At stake is $25,000, which would boost Whirly’s all-time money winning record over a half million dollars or put the $700 Sabbath bargain basement colt close to the $300,000 mark. Whirly has won $491336 in three years of campaigning, Alsab $275,465 in two. Narragansett park arranged the special match race—for the benefit of the army and navy relief funds —after Alsab was scratched from the Narragansett special last Saturday. Whirly went on to win it in a breeze. Whirly on the Rail But things can be different today. ‘The three-sixteenths of a mile home stretch will tell the story of the first meeting between the two top performers on the turf today. So far there has been no horse to challenge the stretch running of the ‘notoriously slow starting longtailed chestnut. If anyone can, it will have to be Alsab. Alsab will have a - seven-pound pull in weight. As a 3-year-old, he will carry 119 while Whirly, as a 4, has been assigned 126. George Woolf, “the iceman,” who was up on Seabiscuit at Pimlico, will ride the handicap champion. Astride Alsab will be Carroll Bierman, ‘the whisp of a lad who stole the 1940 Kentucky Derby with Gallzhadion.

Cardinals Look Strong For The ‘Last Mile’

Cooper I N amed To Oppose Bruins Today

By PAUL SCHALTELS Gateod Press Staff CorPespondent NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The. St. Louis Cardinals today bid for their 100th victory of the year, leading with their ace pitcher—Mort Cooper —as the National league pennant struggle enters the stretch on two fronts. Cooper goes to the pitching mound with a record of seven straight victories and 20 victories for the year. He will be opposed at Chicago by the veteran Lon Warneke, an old r teammate. Cooper not only will be facing a tough competitor in the wily Warneke, who has won 11 against nine defeats, but will be trying for his second win of the year against the Cubs. The Bruins have set Cooper back twice and he has yet to win at Wrigley field in 1942, Max Lanier, who bas won 13 and hasn't pitched since he beat ‘the Dodgers, 2-1, on Sept. 12. will hurl for the Cardinals’ in Bunday’s game. He will be up against the Cubs’ hottest pitcher, Claude Passeau. who

{| has won 18 while losing 13. Passeau

lost ‘to the Phils, 3-1, in his last start on Sept. 16.

The “Last Mile”

Despite the gruelling strain of a drive that has whisked them into a first-place margin of three games over Brooklyn, the Cards are in good condition for the “last mile.” They have registered five straight victories, 34 out of 40 and 12 out of 14 on the current road trip. Shortstop Martin Marion has’ recovered from a bruised heel and Outfielder Terry Moore is ready to return to center field after being out with a pulled calf muscle. Today at Ebbet’s field the desperate Dodgers play the first of seven games against the Phils with the veteran Curt. Davis on the mound. Whit Wyatt, Kirby Higbe and Buck Newsom are picked by Manager Leo Durocher to take care of the next three games with the! Phils. + Max Macon will take against the Giants o After that, Durocher isn

Reds Beat Pirates

As the “if” figure filbert stands— The Cards need any combination of “7” to clinch the pennant. That means any combination of St. Louis victories or Dodger defeats. Should the Red Birds reel off victories in six of their remaining eight games, the ers would have to win all 10 of their just to get a tie. If the Cards win only five more, the Dodgers could still snare the flag with 10 straight. . Only one major league game was played yesterday. The Reds defeated the Pirates, 5-1, in a night game at Pittsburgh as Johnny Vander Meer * registered his 17th victory. - The Dodger-Phil® contest was postponed. A four-run rally in the ninth inning broke a 1-1 tie to give the Reds the decision. Doubles - by Pinch-hitter Lonnie Frey and Max Marshall, each with the bases filled, turned the trick,
