This clash between the Macks
and Pirates has been called "the

in the October classic.
The Athletics have captured
twenty.three out--R their last
twenty-nine games and that's a
pace few teams can keep step with.
Since returning home the Macks
have played eighteen games and
won fourteen OF them.

Buddy Myer may be all that IS
said of him, but if he is to "outdo
Joe SewelI," he has his work cut
out for him. The Cleveland short
stop is one whiz bang around that
infield. He isn't the greatest
fielder in the game, indeed, Roger
Peckinpaugh generally outclasses
him in this particular, but he
has a wonderful throwing arm,
is fast on his feet and right now
is hitting .34S in 100 games. He
is the only shortstop in the Amer
lean League in the 800 class at
bat, and he is well above that
mark.
When it comes down to cases,
Myer may have hard work push
the veteran Roger Peckinpaugh
to the bench next spring. Peck
signed a two-year contract at
Tampa, last March, and Bucky
Harris is confident of having the
brilliant shortfielder in action
through 1926, if not for longer
than that.
There was considerable specula-
ton about Rogers weak leg, the
leg he hurt in the world series,
but that has bothered him not at
all. When he was forced to the
bench it was an injury to his
right thumb, not his leg.
It is quite to be expected that
Buddy Myer, wonder that he is
with New Orleans, will have to
study Peck's style from a COM
Portable seat on the bench next
spring. And if he is a smart
chap-which he appears to be-
he should benefit greatly, for he
will be looking at a piece of we'll
nigh perfect human machinery.

and countercharges. They are

They Pay Last Call

IN HE New York Yankees are
paying their last visit to
the Capital this week for
the 1925 season. Not till next
April will they face the Griffmen,
which may prove a blessing to
the world champions.
After much laundering around,
the Yankees seem to have settled
down to play good ball. They
are not winning every game, but
they are playing good ball and
may hop out in front at any
time.
For most of the season the
Yankees suffered from poor pitch
ing and the absence of Babe
Ruth's terrific hitting. This COM
bination proved too much for them.
They are still without Ruth's
heavy hitting, but their pitching
has improved wonderfully and to-
day the Yankees are mean Gus
toners to tackle.
1t is well to remember this
when figuring out the chances
for the Mackmen to win the pen
nant. They still have eight
games with the Yankees, three
in New York. The AS have won
nine out of fourteen contests with
the Yanks, but they may find it
much more difficult to win these
last eight than they did the first
eight.
1t surely would be an odd hap
pening if the Griffs, beating the
Yanks for the 1924 pennant,
should win the 1925 flag largely
through the Yanks' victories
against the contending Philadel-

X. Ty Cobb a bench manager
in 1925. If that tale be
true, the Detroit club will surely
miss the Georgian, not so much
for his hitting as for the life
and color he puts into every game
he plays.
When the Griffmsp were last
in Detroit Cobb got into a scrap
with Clarence Rowland over a
strike called upon a pinch hitter.
Cobb, from his place in the De-
troit dugout behind the pinch
hitter, argued foolishly against
an umpire standing over the plate.
He delayed the game for fully
five minutes and, Immediately
after the game ended, met Row.
land at the dugout and continued
his argument. For that he was
suspended for ten days.
Cobb was in poor health when
here last. Indeed, he took himself
out Of the lineup on that ac-
count, but when he was in the
game he played without spirit. He
let other outfielders chase long
drives and on the bases, he showed
little or no ambition. 1t seemed
much as if the whole thing was
an old, old story to him, which it
probably is.

on the coaching lines, but coaches

they happen to be comedians,
which Cobb emphatically is not.

MYER MUST
REST. FLOR
WEEKS
Swollen Tendons Keeps Wash.
fngton Candidate Out OF
Pelicans' Lineup
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Sports Editor, The Times

Buddy Myer, New Orleans SEN
sational shortstop, the property
of the Washington baseball club,
will be out of the game for at
least three more weeks, according
to Larry Gilbert, manager Of the
PeIicans. Myer is suffering from
swollen tendons and his physi-
clan advises plenty of rest, if he
would continue to play ball. Mean
while the Pelicans are in danger
of losing their league leadership
with Myer out of the lineup. He
has been their ace all season.
hEyer broke down under the strain.
Re is q youngster who gives all he
bJs in every game he plays. He
was hitting like a whirlwind when
injured. His latest batting average
was 1897 for ninety-eight games and
big league scouts were overJoyed
to watch him perform.
President Clark Griffith, OF the
world champions, is especially de-
sirous of having Myer recover fully
before resuming play in the New
Orleans infield and has so notified
President Heinemann. Going to
work too soon might cause ire
parable injury to the youngster.
Two games are to be played
with the Indians today, with
JezebeI Tecumseh Zachary tOiling
I'm one and Walter johnson in the
other. Iris Speaker win prObar
bly, call upon George Uhle and
either Sherry Smith or Ben Karr
for the twin attraction.
The Indians have a poor record
against the world champions this
season, but most Of their defeats
came earlier in the season. That
was. before the Cleveland pitchers
settled down. Now the Indians are
a tough bunch to whip. Washing
ton has won eleven out OF fourteen
games from the Tribe, a right
fancy record, by the way.
Tomorrow the New York Yankees
come to town. This series Of three
games, ending Sunday, viii be the
last for the Yankees in Washington
this season. The Champions are
anxious to take at least two Of the
three games IN order to maintain
their chase after the Ily1ng mack
men. The Griffs have won thirteen
out OF nineteen games played with
New York this year, and so may
fairly be expected to win two out
OF this final series.
While the Champions were loaf
ing and watching the rain the
Mackmen were trimming the
Brownies for the third time. The
result is that the AS are, today
leading the Griffs by two and a
half games in the race for the
pennant. 49,.

"SPEED UP"
Or Lose Jobs is Warning
to Post Office Workers

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. ca warning has
been sent out by Postmaster General
New that postal employees must in
crease their efficiency at least 5 per
GENT and that incompetent men will
be dropped from the service.
The postoffice employees received an
increased wage scale from the last
congress, and the postmaster general
thinks their work should be more
"effectual."
Postmasters are told that each clerk
on the average, now represents about
$1,000 in revenue and carriers $4,000,
and they are asked how their partic-
ular stats rate with these averages.
Methods are outlined whereby inn
provements might be made.
The department, the postmaster
general indicates, will later call for
reports to determine what progress
has been made.
This action is in line with that
taken in other departments. wherc
clerks and other employees are harass-
ed to increase the efficiency" Of the
government service. All bureaus
have been placed on a productive"
basis, and quantity, not quality, is
demanded by the chiefs. Many Of the
departments and bureaus maintain
spy systems to detect employees who
are not going at top speed, and dis
covery Of any tagging or slowing up
means trouble at once.
