American League Must Mend
Its Fences i'm Western Half

the season when the Yankees were so
far out in front of the race that any
one declaring they could be overhauled
was worthy of being considered a ut
subject for the BOBBY hatch.
Enthusiasm Non existent.
With no Western club in the running
for the laurels of the American League,
he people of this sector of the circuit
are apathetic in their attitude toward
the race. In SO far as the games the
club of their particular town out this
way may have with either the Yankees
or the Athletics, there's no enthusiasm
and the Nationals and the Red Sox
are just so much excess baggage to
these WesternerS who are gazing upon
q fight of the front-running Fasteners
for the American League laurels. They
are not tripping along with dead ones.
Rather, the folk out this way. are
vitality interested in the progress OF the
Cardinals in the National League.
what thew want is an assurance that
the West will have representative in
the world championship. They know
there's nothing doing in the East for
them in the American League and they
are pulling keenly for the st. Louis out
fit.
It's about time the American League
began to mend its fences in the West.
It was this section of the country that
put the Junior major circuit on its feet
in the beginning, but it has lost much
prestige out here. Unless 1t gets an
other foothold in this part of its or
ganization within year or two, thereH
be deal of squealing by the magnates
apart from the Atlantic Seaboard.

There may be some folks out
this way worrying about the
race between the Yankees and
the Athletics for the American

crowds for the city championship

CH|SOX AND TIGERS

Play Yanks and Mackmen,
Respectively, in Series
Starting Today.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YOT a wheel moved in the major
M circuits yesterday. American
League teams were enjoying
4 a scheduled off day as hurri-
cane fresh from Florida, swept
the National League schedule clean.
Double headers Immediately were ar
ranged by Boston and Philadelphia.
The Braves now must entertain the
Reds six times in three days, while the
Phillies will double with the Pirates on
Saturday.
The postponed game between New
York and Chicago probably will be dis
posed of in a bargain attraction at the
Polo Grounds next Thursday when the
Cubs return to the Metropolis to COM
plete their schedule. Brooklyns had no
game scheduled.
AS the Yankees prepared to resume
their yicarious warfare against the de-
Ieaouered Athletics today, the New York
entry seemed all but "in" for its third
straight pennant and its sixth in eight
wears, but it is hard for observers to
forget the spectacle furnished in ST.
Louis just two days ago OF the entire
first string pitching corps of world
champion ball club on parade through
the box In game where the champions
themselves gathered IA runs.
The Yankees, two games ahead, now
figure by great odds-as the Cardinals
also would figure were the stubborn
Giants not planted in their path, but
Cornelius McGillicuddy is going to give
up the fight for this pennant only when
his chances are automatically dead
and buried. One naturally dies hard
after IA years of waiting.
The champions were to open three
game series against the admittedly hos
tile White Sox in Chicago today, while
the Mackmen were drawn up in q battle
array for the same number of onslaughts
upon Detroit. Much more may be
known about the pennant after the cur
rent series are played.

Nothing but clean sweep can save
Toronto. Not even a miracle would
help Montreal, which is mathmatically
out because of the schedule, but which
will fight Rochester to the end to save
fourth place from Reading, now only a
game away.
If Toronto should take two from Buff
falo, Rochester could finish ahead OF
both her rivals by dividing six games
in the series which starts at Montreal
today and which calls for double-head-
ers on Saturday and Sunday.
The season closes Sunday.

Pennant May Hinge on Out

N YEW YORK, September 20.-The
Giants prepared to defend their
NJ home citadel against a double
4 onslaught from the Cardinals
today, though the weather-wise
thought rain would halt all action
Moisture might blur the glory Of the
greatest National League pageant IN
this city since the Giants and the
Pirates had it out for the 1925 pennant
late in August Of that year., but rain
today could not be altogether unwel-
come to John Joseph McGraw.
A postponement today would mean
merely that the two games would be
plaved tomorrow, an otherwise open
date, and this would enable the little
Napoleon to pit Carl Hubbell, Larry
Benton and Fred Fitzsimmons against
Wee Willie Sherdel, Alex the Great and
Clarence Mitchell. McGraw seems to
have weakened bit on Joseph Edward
Genewich late of Boston, although the
manager intimated Joe would start
with Benton today.
It is known, however, that the Giant
chieftain was considering the plan OF
working Hubbell out of turn with the
sorrel top. The lead of the Cardinals
remained at two games this morning,
and nothing but clean sweep OF three
would land the New York team on top
in the current engagement.
Two out of three for the home forces,
victors IL times in Is games against the
Cardinals this season, would leave the
Giants in fighting position. one game
from the top, and might defer final de-
cision of the National race until the
last day of the season when the

AS WELL EQUIPPED
FOR A T|TULAR SET
Moriarty 0pines They Could
Defeat Any Opponent in
Fall Classic.
BY GEORGE MORIARTY.

TINE Philadelphia Athletics, who
cavort under Connie Mack's
guidance, have everything need
ed for keen competition in a
world series. A just analysis
grants them speed, power, intelll-
gence and courage. The last requisite
is theirs for the relentless battle they
have staged in the last two months OF
the American League race.
While an inferiority complex seemed
to grip them in two-thirds of their
nothing in a series wherein they will
meet an entirely strange team. The
Philadelphia club has a smashing.
straight-away attack, but it can be di-
versified suddenly and Smartly.
The punch is there in abundance,
particularly since Mack inserted the
youthful Haas and Orwell in the line
up few months ago. These two play
ers gave an excellent balance to the
team in its relation to age and ability.
Connie Mack is a great manager, and
gaze at the array of coaches on the
club. While Macks fine youngsters
furnish the perspiration, Gleason, Col
Inns, Cobb and Speaker supply the in
spiration.
Weigh the pitching talent. walberg
is one of the great left-handers OF the
last 20 years. Rommel is the knuckle-
ball king. Jack Quinn is the premier
spit-ball pitcher today. Earnshaw. a
big, clever and deceptive right-hander.
Then there Is Orwell. who. when not
first basing, can step into the pitching
role and do 1t real justice.
Grove Toughest of All.
Now few words about Robert Moses
Grove, greatest left-handed fire-ball
artist of all time, excepting Rube Wad-
hell. Grove in his element furnishes
something new and difficult in the way
Of speed.
The National League victors may con-
tend that Grove is no tougher than
Dazzy Vance, whom they have show
cred on occasions. But I think they
may find a vast difference. Vance Is
gigantic and takes a vigorous wind-up.
Grove Is slim and wiry and winds up
with a deceptive ease that whangs the
ball across the plate like-rifle fire.
The result is that batters are a frac-
ton Of a second late in timing and try
ing to make contact. Other pitchers go
to the rubber; Grove, in the true sense
of the word, goes to the firing line;
Last, but not least, Cochrane catches
battery. In the last 10 years there may
have been a better catcher than Coch-
rane, but have not seen him. He is
truly so much of standout that he
forces Perkins, a great catcher, into
second-string duty.
The Mack fly chasers list as follows:
Simmons, Haas, Miller, Speaker, Cobb
and French. There is an outfield and
something left over. Foxx or Dykes at
either first or third, and Bishop and
Boley around the pivotal section. Then
there are Hale, Hassler and Hauser for
emergency.
A team more brimful of talent In
world series toys cannot be assembled,
unless one resorts to the all-star process
of selection. Frankly, am prompted to
give the Athletics big chance to bowl
over the opposition in any mans world
