Connie Mack has had many a bit.
ter disappointment, but none to
compare with what 1928 seems to
have In store for him. To fail at
the very edge Of splendid triumph
will cause him more grief than he
knew when his Philadelphia Ath-
letics were chronic tailenders:
And fail it seems the 1928 Ath-
letics must. Connie built this year
with the utmost diligence, carefully
blending veteran experience will,
fiery youth 80 that the qualities
Of both were used with the best ad-
vantage. That product Of his genius
battered its way to the top Of the
league only to slip back after a
tenure of only one day.
Since that late series with their
dread rivals, the New York Yam
KEGS, when the Athletics lost three
out Of four and their hold on first
place, Comics charges have been
presented with q number of oppor-
tunities to overhaul the leaders only
to fail at the most critical moments.
Take yesterday for example:
Walter Miller, tricky left handler of
the Cleveland Indians set the Yam
KEGS down with five hits and beat
them, A to 3. Presented with a gold
en- chance to snip the Yanks' two
game lead in two, the AS, instead,
were bowled over by the st. Louis
Browns, 6 to 2, leaving the relative
standing Of the two clubs un-
changed. It was the second time in
three days that the As passed up
m opportunity to gain. With only
five games on Philadelphia's sched-
ule and six for the Yankees, Con-
MES chances Of winning his first
pennant since 1914 seem slim in
deed.
Alvin Crowder hung up his TWEEN
tieth victory Of the year at the AS
expense, giving them only four hits,
three Of which>came in the ninth and
scored the AS two runs. Jack
Quinn was the victim Of punched
hits in the sixth and seventh in
nings.
The Washington Senator took un-
disputed possession of fourth place
by, turning back the Chicago White
Sox, 8 to 4. The Boston Red Sox
found Sam Gibson for only five hits
md Detroit coasted to an 8 to 0
Victory.
Meanwhile the st. Louis Cardinals
protected their one-game lead in the
National league by trouncing
Brooklyn, 9 to 2, while the New
York Giants home-runned their way
to a Z to 4 victbry over the Cincin-
natl Reds.
Old Pete Alexander kept Brook
lyn batSmen subdued all day while
the Cards were ripping three Dodg-
er pitchers.
All of the Giants runs were scored
on homers, Lefty O'Doul getting
two with enc each for Mel OFT and
Travis jackson. Jackson's came
with two on in the eighth and broke
a4-4 tie that existed at that mo-
ment. Outside of these home runs,
Ray Kolp pitched well, outpitched
Larry Benton in fact, but those long
Slouts enabled the Giants red-head
to record his 25th victory Of the
year.
The Cubs retained their mathe-
NAUTICAL chance to win the pennant
by trimming the poor old Phillies,
z to 6, although the tail-enders gave
Joe Mccarthy some bad moments by
scoring three runs in the ninth,
within one Of q tie.
The Pittsburgh Pirates took the
first game of a double-header from
the Braves, 3 to l, in ten innings,
hat were beaten in the nightcap,
