NEW YORK. Aug. 81. The big question in rocker. barrel baseball today is: Will Bucky Harris or. Joe McCarthy guide the all-star team in Africa this autumn? Baseballs gossips insist that Harris, former manager
of the Senators, Tigers and Phillies, will be the man chosen
as pilot because he is so well liked by magnates, players Moreover, he is independently wealthy. And the baseball owners do not care to have their pilots traipsing dangerously about the Mediterranean area when they should be polishing their squads for next season’s play. Those favoring McCarthy claim he is the most successful manager in major league history, having won
eight pennant titles since he came up to the majors. This includes his National league flag with the Cubs in. 1929—

Indians One-Half Game Out Of First Place as They Move To Toledo for 4-Game Series
. TOLEDO, Aug. 31—The Indianapolis Indians, riding hard on the heels of the league-leading Milwaukee Brewers, were in Toledo today | to open a three-day, four-game series with the Mud Hens, a club which is running a strong fourth in th American association’s exciting pen-
The Indians moved a half-game closer to the Brewers ‘last night
when Minneapolis upset the leaders, 5 to 3, at Minneapolis in the only Monday game played in the league. The Millers won on five hits, the deciding blow coming in the seventh when Frank Danneker hit a home run with one on. It was the Brewers’ fourth straight defeat as the Indians downed them trhee straight on Saturday and Sunday. * The Tribesters play a doubleheader with the Mud Hens out at Swayne field tonight and the probable pitchers for the Indians are Jim Trexler and George Diehl Indians and Mud Hens have met 15 times this season and the Bushmen have won 10 of the games.
The fact that Milwaukee lost
last night tightened the race like nobody’s business. The Indians are only one-half game behind and. Columbus is just one game off the pace and one-half game behind Indianapolis. Surging Toledo is six games off the pace, five behind Columbus and 5% behind Indianapolis. The Tribesters stopped off at

The leaguers used a borrowed pitcher - for the - first six inings in order to rest their regulars. Dunker of Great Lakes opened on the Tribe mound and the Sailors pounded him for four runs in the first inning. The Sailors also scored a pair of markers’ in the] sixth.

Now he has taken tg wearing an old straw hat and announces that he will wear it until. the Yankees have copped the flag.
