DEW major league clubs have ever
won pennant without one con-
sistent left-handed pitcher. That
trick will be turned in the American
League this year by either Cleveland
or New York. If New York wins the
American League bunting. the Ma
tional League team that opposes the
Yankees may face only right-handed
pitching. Harper, the only soutnpaw
on the staff, was injured in April
and has not been of any particular
use since. Recently he worked an
inning against the Cleveland club
and all he did was plunk three bat
ters in the ribs. walk couple and
allow few hits, for a total of four
runs. A few days later he beat his
old teammates, Washington, to /,
his first victory of the year.
Cleveland started the season with
high hopes as to a 1eft-hander. Late
in August Of 1920 the Cleveland club
secured Pitcher "Duster" Mails from
the Coast League. He had received
previous trials in the National
League with Brooklyn and Pitts
burgh, but was turned back When
Cleveland secured him the club need
ed pitching strength badly and it was
hoped that he would be of some as
sistance. Mails proved to be the man
of the hour as far as Cleveland 8
pennant chances were concerned. All
he did was to win seven consecutive
victories. In the big series with
Brooklyn he worked sixteen and two
third innings without allowing a run.
His l-to-0 victory over Sherrod Smith
was the real pitchers battle of the
series.

gained from the fact that he was So

HUCMEN, HOPE TO EARN
TITLE THIS AFTERNOON

PHILADELPHIA, September 3d.
Manager Huggins of the New York
Americans was expected to send his
pitching ace, Carl Mays, against
Philadelphia today in an effort to
clinch the American League pennant.
Moore or Rommel probably will be
his opponent in the box. Rommel
checked the Yankees on their last
trip here.
A victory today would give the
New Workers the pennant. In addi-
ton to today's contest they have two
more scheduled games, both on their
home grounds. They are booked to
meet the Athletics on Saturday and
Boston on Sunday.

One of Pittsburgh's own sons, Bill
Doak. pitched St. Louis to victory in
the first battle. to 4, in ten innings,
over Wilbur Cooper. The second, an
abbreviated affair of six innings, due
TO darkness. was credited to Pitcher
Sherdel's winning column. The clubs
made the same number of hits in
each game. ten a piece in the first
and five each in the second.

was successful against the Athletics

Babe Ruth, who was suffering from
grippe. 1t was said that Ruth prob

turn to the game today. Pitcher
Shawkey of New York allowed only
four scattered hits.
On the other hand. Cleveland, the
Yanks' chief contender for the
American League honors. was set
down to a 5-to-0 defeat by Pitcher
Dick Kerr and his fellow players on
