INDIANS STAND
POORCHANCE Of
TAKING ENCORE
Outlook Is Gloomy As Final
Swing Of Season
Starts.

Cleveland's chances Of winning on
other American League pennant were
gloomy today as the Indians started
their final swing around the circuit
at st. Louis.
iris Speakers champions have the
toughest kind of an assignment
ahead Of them. They must tour the
East after finishing with the Browns,
who are going great guns at the
present time, and with their pitchers
in shaky condition It will be a mira
Gle II they. succeed In beating out
the Yankees.
Miller Huggins' team. with pitchers
in tip-top form and the schedule all
In, its favor, looked like q certainty
for the pennant today, and betting
along the local baseball rialto was all
in favor Of the Yanks.
The National League race is still
In doubt. With only q half game
separating the Giants and Pirates
there was no certainty as to when
the race will be over. New York
must finish the season on the road
and the Pirates have all the best Of
the schedule, with most of their
games to be played at Forbes Field.
The Pirates have one tough hurdle
to take, however. They must go to
st, Louis for five games with the
fast-stepping Cardinals, and unless
they can hold the Cards off they
may find themselves UP against 1t.
Branch Rickey's team, with pitch
ers in fine shape and going like a
house afire at the present time, is
probably the strongest club In the
National League at the present time.

II has been years since the ma
tional singles event bristied with the
class that marks the entry list today.
The tourney looks more like an in
ternational than q national event, for
the best players Of the United States,
England. Australia and japan will
battle for the title.
William T. Tilden. second. national
champion. will defend his crown
against the strongest field that I'm
American titleholder has faced in
many years.
Stiff Competition Ahead.
Arrayed against him will be
"Billy' Johnston, California's great
est player; r. Norris Williams. the
volcanic Vincent Richards, Watson
,Washburn. Wallace johnson, r.
Indy Murray. s. Kashio AMI Zenzo
Shimidzu Of Japan; Jim Anderson,
Norman Peach and Johnny Hawks, OF
Australia, and Gordon Lowe, of Eng
land. in addition to scores of Other
capable players. There are .oS en-
trants in all and because OF the
size of the field this years tourney
will probably run over a week.
The erratic showing of Tilden in
the Davis cup matches and his slump
prior to the big international event
at Forest Hills has led many tennis
critics to believe that he will have
his hands full to defend his title
successfully.
Billy" Johnston. Norris Williams
and Vince Richards stand out as
the most likely candidates for the
championship IL Tilden Is to lose il.
but none OF these players will have
m easy row to hoe by any nea'Is.
Williams Foes Formidable.
williams, II he recaptures the
crown, must defeat Hawks or An.
derson, Voshell or Kumagae, who
probably will not play. Frances Hun.
ter, who starred at Wimbledon, and
either Tilden or Johnston, both of
whom are in the lower half Of the
draw.
Johnston also has a rather stormy
road ahead Of him. for. in order to
come through to the title, he must
batter down Richards. Shimidzu or
Tilden. Niles or Murray, Willis Davis
or Bob Kinsey. and whoever comes
through to the final round in the
upper half of the draw.
Western players. headed by John

strong showing. The Kinsey brothers.
Willis Davis; James M. Davies, of

Don't forget" he writes "that the
fans expect to see you knock home
runs just the same as they expect
to see Nick Altrock play the clown.
That's what they pay their money
for. II Is very foolish Of you to put
your desire for a cut in the world
series above the wishes of thousands
Of fans who support you through the
box office" .'..
First Of all let me say that above
anything else, 1t is the wish OF those
very New York fans that has set
my heart on helping to bring a pen.
nant to the Yankees.
For twenty-one years the New
York fans have supported the Amer
lean League club without reward.
Great players have come and gone;
the management has spent freely.
and the club has generally been a
fighting outfit. But through the
breaks and for tunes of baseball,
something has repeatedly stopped the
Yanks just short OF the goal.
Fans Have Been Loyal.
All these years the fans have re-
mained loyal This season we have
been nosed in and out OF first place
six times, but the fans have never
deserted. II has been nerve racking
and disappointing. but no more 80 to
the fans than to the boys on the clue.

Right here, I want to say that al

a new home-run record: II by turn.
Ing my personal efforts from slug.
gtng to any other department Of the
game I can increase the certainty of
q pennant I am ready to abandon
home runs and await instructions.
What I have in mind especially is
working my turn I'm the box, and but
for the encouraging demonstrations
last week by Harry Harper that Is
the very thing would have requested
of Manager Higgins. We have been
sorely handicapped with a lefthander

injured hand goes back on him and

pitching about one game every four
days will automatically reduce my
number Of chances to knock home
runs.
Home Runs Mean Much.
And. despite J. L. B. and his criti-
cism. home runs mean a lot more to
me personally and financially. than
getting into the world series. Home
runs mean advertising and increased
desire among the baseball fans to see
me perform In exhibition games. Par

II we don't get in the big series I

and make bigger money. Why, nine
games would mean about $4,000 to
me or "twice the "cut In the world

the team wins or loses In the exhibition
