Letter Expresses Confidence

Confidence in, and congratulations
for the Washington baseball club
now ON its way to it's second Amer.

pressed by. the Cabin John Citizens
Association in a letter to the public
today. 1t follows;
''As a part of Greater Washing.

VIC ALDR|DGE
DESERVES
PRAISE
Former Chicago Cub Pitches
Brilliantly for 1928 Pitts
hurgh Pirates

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 17.-When
the Pirates clinch the National
League pennant, which happy event
should soon come to pass, every
member of the team from Manager
Bill McKechnie down to the bat
boy, no doubt will be lauded by
local fans. Some players may re-
celve more credit than others for
the teams success, but while praise
for their deeds is being distributed
Vic Aldridge should come in for a
full share. The right handed pitch
er who came here last winter along
with George Grantham in the deal
that sent Rabbit Meanwhile, Charley
Grimm and Wilbur Cooper to the
Cubs, has been a prime factor in
the struggle that is expected to
carry the Pirates into the world
series next month.
Time and again Aldridge has been
sent to the mound when air tight
pitching was required to keep his
team in the race for the champion
ship and practically everyi time he
was asked to shoulder the heavy
burden he performed with winning
results.
Aldridge has been responsible for
fourteen Pirate victories and is
charged with six defeats. Three
other Pirate hurlers. Meadows, Yde
and Morrison, have won more games
than Aldridge. but the former Cub
has made a speciality of winning de-
cisions in tough spots. Meadows
has won eighteen games and lost
ten, Yde has won fifteen and lost
nine, while Morrison's record is six
teen victories against thirteen de,
feats. Aldridge leads all other
Pirate hurlers in strikeouts with
eighty-five to his credit.

HORNSBY SEEKS.
SIX RECORDS
IN ROW
FjVe-Time Champion Has Eyes
on Hitting as Well as
Home Run Mark

big BIZ Tilden isn't the only
prominent athlete who is trying 10
make 1t six in a row. Rogers Horns
by is another five-time champion
who would like half a dozen con-
secutive titles, and in leading his
league for the sixth time since 1919,
the Rajah is to all intents and pur.
poses setting new National League
home run record at the same time.
Back in 1922, Hornsby set a new
league record for four-base waiiops
with AZ homers. Last year l:is
home runs fell off, but his batting
average increased to .424, a new
modern major league record. This
year, in 100 games, he had hit 80
home runs or 8 more than he hit
all last season in 143 games. WIN
Hornsby hit so home runs this year?
AS this is written, the chances
are very slim that the ST. Louis
star will reach the half century mark
but he should pass his 1922 record
of AZ, Hornsby, in, his league-lead-
ing years, has made over $50 home
runs. Home run charts go in cycles
of three years. Rogers nit in
1920, 81 in 1921, and then in 1922
he hit AZ, IL more than his total for
the two previous years.
Then he slumped to II in 1929,
got 25 last year, and now should
again surpass his total of the last
two years, which would give him
new record. And remember that
Hornsby is handicapped by being a
right-hand hitter, and having his
managerial duties to worry about.

NJ CARTHY IS A
DUNN RIVAL
As TUTOR
Louisville Manager Sells
!. Many Promising Players
to Major Leagues

Joe Mccarthy, manager OF Louis
willie. winner OF the 1925 pennant
in the American Association. is fast
becoming a rival of Jack Dunn as
q developer of major league talent.
For years the Baltimore man,
ager was in a class by himself but
now McCarthy's ability is being
recognized. -,
OF this years crop Mccarthy
already has sold Outfielder Tyson
and First Baseman Cotter to the
majors. He also can sell Pitcher
Holley and Outfielder Guyon at
pretty fancy figures il he cares
to dispose of them.
In 1928 Mccarthy sold Earl
Combs to the Yanks for $4,000
and Wayland Dean. pitcher, to the
Giants for a like amount. The
Reds also took Elmer Smith, a
major league castoft, for q price
reported at $4,000.
During the past few years Dunn
has disposed of Jack Bentley At
$72,500. Lefty Groves at 100000.
Max Bishop to the Athletics ut Q
figure said to be $4,000. and this
year Tommy Thomas. The latter
went to the Sox at fixed price
for the deal which brought Arch
deacon to the Orioles and the sum
Dunn received was not made public.
At that, however, Mccarthy has
q long way to go. For look at
some OF the others Dunn has sent
to the majors. They include Ruth,
Shawkey, Shore, Egan, Murphy,
Walsh, Fewster, Maisel, McAvoy,
Crane, Barber, and numerous others.

EAZARRE SLAMS
PELLET HARD
On COAST
Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel
Will Have Company When
1926 Comes Around

Latest dispatches from the Pacific
coast indicate that Babe Ruth and
Bob Meusel will have first-class
companionship on the Yankees next
season in Tony Lazarre, the Salt
Lake City shortstop, who was pur'
chased by the Yanks a few weeks
ago. Signor Lazarre is out ptnging
Ping Bodie, another coast fence
buster, as he has collected forty-six
homo runs so far, with still six
weeks to go Lazarre has chance
to get a new home run record Tor
the big Far Western minor league.
1t remains to be seen IL Lazarre'B
home runs are due to that rare
Utah ozone. 1t will be recalled that
Joe Gideon came to the Yankg from
Salt Lake with a great reputation
as an all around hitter and home
run specialist. In his first season
with the Yanks ,Gedeon hit .2l3 anu
got only one homer.
The recent experience or PauI
Strand, Connie Mack's fizzle Of 1924,
still Is fresh in the minds OF the
fans. In 1923 Strand broke every
kind of record in the Coast League,
hitting 1874, while his hits included
sixty-six doubles and forty.three
homers. Playing with Connie Mack
in 1924, he was hitting .220 when
he was released and nary homer
had flown from his bat in forty
two games.
However, Higgins says that he
really is convinced that LaZarre
can hit and will hit in any league.
He admits the rarified Salt Lake
air may have helped Tony bag
some OF his home runs, but he says
the newcomer also will get them in
New York.
If Ruth regains mis- former ability
next season and LaZarre slaps them
anywhere near as well as he has
been doing on the Coast, MeuseI,
Ruth, GehFig, LazarFe, and Paschal
should give the Yankees another
Murderers' Row, even more pow
erful one than the lineup which
had Peck, Baker. Ruth, Pipp, Bodie,
and Pratt.

SECRET DRILLS HELD
BY BUCKNELL ELEVEN

LEWISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE
Bucknell coaching staff is working
hard to whip the Bison squad into
shape for the opening clash with
the strong Western Maryland
eleven, which is coming here on
September IS, with the intention
of obtaining revenge for the defeat
suffered by them last season at the
hands of the Bucknell team. Secret
drills have been ordered for all
remaining practices before the game
and the southerners will be greeted
with a new assortment of forma-
lions and plays.
Last seasons regulars on the
Bison eleven are practically sure
Of their places for the Maryland
conflict. The coaches feel keenly
the loss of several of last seasons
stars who graduated last June.
This fact is evident through the
scrimmages this week.

management is beginning to be-

with their turnstyles. Practical

at every game played at the

for the purchase of three minor
league stars, who are expected to
add class to the Fohlmen Of 1928.
According to the powers that be
around Fenway Park the trio OF
players are the classiest Glass A
players in the country and the Sox
were fortunate TO land them in
their net as at least five other
clubs were bidding for their sery-
ices. That's the story anyway.
Two outfieIds and a pitcher com
pose the trio the mention Of which
makes Owner Bob Quinn smile,

fielder who belted the agate to the

be one OF the most promising finds
of the year. Shaner, a right hand
er who is only twenty-five years
old and weighs 195 pounds is
giant. He stands feet 2 inches
