SHOWERS ARE To
BE EXPECTED IN
GOTHAM TODAY
Big Clash Between Yankees and
Indians May Have to
Be Postponed.
By HENRY L. FARRELL.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Low dark
clouds hung over the scene Of the third
battle OF the Yanks and the Indians
today.
The weather man said SHOWERS"
and the enthusiastic fans that be-
seiged the Polo Grounds this morning
feared there might be a postponement
Of the third game of the ali-important
series this afternoon.
The Yanks have won one game and
the Indians one SO far in the "croociaJ
series"
A hundred or more Yankee fans
were at the entrance gate early this
morning waiting for the opening OF
the Polo Grounds, which are taking on
a world series atmosphere.
Police lines were drawn along the
street leading to the entrances early.
Mounted police directed traffic and
scores were stationed about the
stands.
Forty thousand fans were expected.
Carl Mays, the star undetermined
singer of the Yank hurting staff. will
work for the Yanks, It was believed.
Babe Ruth. who yesterday suffered
from a slight charley horse, will be
back in the game.
Buster Mails. the temperarnental
Indian. will work for Manager Speak
er. r.
With each team having won one
game the pennant race was tighter
today than at any time during the
season. The Yanks' lead Of two
points means little. II the Indians
win the two remaining games of the
series 1t is very likely they can main.
tain a winning pace through their
series with the White Sox In Chicago
and come out on top.
II the Yanks succeed in downing the
Speaker clan for the two remaining
games. 1t is most likely they win
win.
II they divide the next two games
then the race will be hotter than ever.

Ty Cobb Hopes Bert Cole viii
Succeed in Defeating
JezebeI Zachary.

Today Ty Cobb, with fire in both
eyes. will lead his ferocious Jungle
Cats against the Mcbride gang for
the last time this season. The Tigers
have dropped both games already
played in this series and are filled
with rage. Indeed. so wrathy did
the Tiger leader become yesterday
that he got into a mixup with
Umpire Evans, entertaining the fans
beneath the ramp with one.round
bout. According to Evans. Ty had
the better Of the going and today he
hopes his team will succeed in
trouncing the Griffs.
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary, Nc.
Brides bulky southpaw, is expected
to be sent to the hill for the Gritfs.
Zach pitched beautiful ball the other
day against the White Sox and Nc.
Bride believes he can repeat. Bert
Cole, another southpaw but lankier,
will probably do the twirling for the
Tigers.
The Griffs won yesterdays game
largely by punching bingles on Red
Oldham for three runs in the sixth
inning and because Walter johnson
was invincible in the pinches. When.
ever Walter had to turn on the
juice, that's exactly what he did and
the Tigers had to fall back.

Lovett Grew Fat.
His Boston team collectively was 50
far superior to anything of the year
1921 that 1T isn't more than necessary
to make the statement to declare 1t
convincing at the same time. He had
an infield which was super.superior.
1t was made up of Tennsy, Lowe,
Long and Jimmy Collins. 1t could do
everything that any baseball infield
had done and almost everything that
any infield had not done. ia
Another, who came from Oshkosh,
was Tom Lovett.s Brooklyn fans
should remember him.. because II was
in Brooklyn that he pitched his best.
He took on flesh too quickly. That
dropped him out as an active athlete.
When going right he had extraordi.
nary speed, good command. of the ball
and the ability to win.
Jimmy Cooney. the Chicago short
stop, got his start at Oshkosh. Cooney
could field like a grasshopper, but
couldn't bat much harder than grand
mother with a pudding stick. Tommy
Mccarthy started at Oshkosh. Yes,
the same Tommy Mccarthy who Is in
Boston unless all signs tell wrong
tales. Another great outfielder began
there, Dummy" Hoy. the mute center
fielder. ="

Chauncey Fisher, who started out to
be q high class pitcher but tried to
throw too hard and hurt his arm, was
IN Oshkosh as a beginner. and so was
Howard Earl, who was q player

though he never set the Chicago
prairie afire. ."- -. .
Little willie McGin, the boy wonder
Of the Brotherhood League, was an
Oshkosh product, and 50 was Addie
joss, one Of the greatest pitchers who
was ever developed In. the West. II
The Washington times., 1921-09-25

Joss had lived to the average years of
mankind he very likely would have
retired from baseball with one of the
great pitching records Of the game.
Fred Bebee started at Oshkosh. He
has pitched all over the major league
circuits in his time, and at times he
has pitched some fine games. Cozy
Dolan got his prep school season at
Oshkosh, the same Cory who stands in
the coacher's box for the Giants in
these days.
Heinie Groh was an Oshkosh pro.
duct. and so was Jimmy Johnston of
Brooklyn. There are pair Of third
basemen Of which any Oshkosh man
might well feel proud. .s
or players of less fame there are
Gus Krock. a catcher, who was tried
in Chicago, but didn't shine so we'll
in major league company as he did
in the minors. Dan Shannon was
another. He was just good enough
quite good enough. He was far too
good for the Class B fellows, plenty
good enough for the Class A, but
when he attempted to carry up with
his aeroplane he usually took a nose
dive '"' ''''.' ~
Big Men In Minors.
Jim Burns and Joe Wright were
another pair who were only a shade
away from the rainbow of the ma.
jors. George Hogriever played every
thing for some team or another all
OF his life. He, too, made a venture
into the big leagues, but did not
remain with them. George Brecksn-
ridge, who played to appreciative
fans in the South, and Ace" Stewart

course from Oshkosh out into the

I'm with this heartily" said
President Griffith, on hearing Of
Harveli's scheme to honor Milan.
Anything l can do, I stand ready
TO do. Zeb is worthy of the biggest
reward possible"
which to collect donations" says
Harvell. but I feel that Washington
fans should not let Milan go to his
home without some substantial REQ
ognttion of his great playing thil
season. In all the years that he has
been with the Washington club he
has gained friends by his manly
conduct at all times, by his uniform
'gentlemanliness and by his baseball
ability. Let's all get together and
let him know we appreciate these
qualities"
Has Great Year.
Milan is finishing a great year.
When he reported last spring 1t was
thought that he might no. find q
regular berth with the team. But he
was in there for the opening game
and, barring times here and there, held
lis own all season, no matter what the
opposition.
Zeb has been hitting above the 300
mark for most Of the campaign rapidly
drawing to a close. Only m recent
weeks has he dropped be ow that
magic line and he Is sure to finish
close to 1t.
Few fans realized the difficulties
facing the veteran captain this year.
He reported overweight and, almost
before he knew it, his legs began
troubling him. Trainer Martin work.
cd for hours over the veteran, fitting
him for his daily tasks. And through
1t all Zeb never murmured, never CON-
Ilained. He merely obeyed orders,
went out into the field and did his
best.
He Is Nearly Killed.
At Philadelphia this spring Milan
was nearly killed. Standing within ten
feet of Turkey Brewer during batting
practice, Milan was struck by Brow.
er's flying bat and felled to the ground.
The bat landed just above his eye. His
nose was broken and Only by a miracle
did he escape instant death.
Milan stood for a severe razzing by
thoughtless fans at the bal, park on
Sunday. July q. Not one Of those
Milan was In the lineup. But Zeb got
into the game, played such fine ball
that on his return to Washington, had
those same rooters pulling for him.
Leads to Victory.
When Manager BcBride was struck
by a thrown ball and injured seriously,
Milan stepped in and took charge OF
the ,Griffmen. II was while he was
leading the attack and guarding the
defense that the Griffs raced away
to their eleven straight victories.
During that winning streak Milan
played his head off. Not a day went
by but saw him making marvellous
catches or stops in the outfield. throw.
ing out some daring base runner or
making some timely hit He seemed
the Milan Of ten years before. And
Washington took him to Its heart then
and there.
Next Sunday will be MILAN Day" at
the ball park. All this week Colonel
Kutz, Of the District building, will
graciously accept donations to be ten
dercd the Washington field captain and

aboard and show Milan that he Is
