davS. the Nationals may face a
former teammate when they step
- 10 the plate The Yankees are
scheduled to play here tomorrow
SATURDAY. and Sunday and in one Of the
games old Tom Zachary. who Just a
week ago Snorted Washington uni
form. is apt to be sent TO the firing
line by the midget manager, Miller
Higgins.
Old Tom already has helped to keep
the Yankees heads above water. but
:>itching against his former club may
not be so easy for him, There is a
tradition in base ball that a pitcher
transferred never is particularly sue
ceSsful against the club he left. 1t Is
argued tbs former teammates know 100
much of what the hurler has, having
looked il over SO often in batting prac-
tice. This may be a lot Of bunk, for one
immediately recalls that Garland BraX-
ton makes the YankS dizzy and Sam
GRAY always has the Athletics worried
whenever he steps on the slab. And
again. these boys may be rated as en-
ceptionS.
But YOU can't make the average ball
plaver believe that former mate Is
difficult TO solve They are back OF
him when he is on the club, but dead
agin him when he is with rival. Re-
member. Zach was not SO successful
against the Nationals when he wore
ST. Louis uniform He very likely will
not be thought dangerous when he faces
the Nationals in the Yankee livery.
However. thereli be many fans AZ
the ball yard pulling for the old boy
when he takes his post TO sling EN-
against the gang here Always popular
while he wore a local unie. Zach still
has the sympathy of the Washington
followers Of the game. They'll be root
ing for hiIn--but only II the Nationals
are ahead.
That Higgins will send Zach to the
mound here is all but certain. The
Yanks are in a sorry fix for pitchers
these DAYS. And the midget manage
is not one to pass up an experienced
hurler because of base ball tradition.
II has been rumored that Manager
Stanley Harris will return to the game
for the Yankee series and that Bob
Reeves. who has been understanding the
pilot at second base. viii take over Joe
Cronins job at shortstop. This may
happen. but the only reason il may is
that Reeves appears to have bit more
punch at bat than the recruit pro-
cured from the Kansas City club.
Cronin is a superb fielder. one who
does not charge drives directly at him
and who possesses an accurate throw
ing arm. II is questionable whether
the Nationals would be better off with
Reeves instead of Cronin occupying the
shortfield. and this doesn't mean that
Reeves is poor player. 1t simply APP
pears that Cronin is the better afield.
All the Nationals went through a
strenuous drill this morning at Griffith
Stadium Now tied with the Tigers for
four place after the double licking the
White S0X took from the Athletics yes
terday. the boys are eager 70 clinch
q first division berth If possible. and
they believe il is quite possible TO do
so while the YankS are here. AS the
Nationals look at them, the Yanks are
not so hot these days.

PITTSBURGH PACE

Club Has Won 80 of Last 81
Games-NOW Has Shot at
Old League Flag.

BY the Associated Press.
n yEW YORK, August 29.-DOnie
Bushs Pittsburgh Pirates may
NJ not win the National League
pennant this year--the odds,
in fact. or very much against
it--but they've earned the respect of
the base ball world by the gallant fight
they have made in the last two months
The Corsairs were counted out OF
the present campaign as early as June.
Handicapped by miserable weather dur
ing the training season, by the COM
plete collapse of the pitching staff with
the exception of Burleigh Grimes, and
by injury after injury to their regu-
lars. the 1927 champions spent most of
the season in sixth place.
Their luck definitely turned for the
better on July 7. On the morning OF
that day. the Pirates were in sixth
place with Brooklyn. Chicago. Cincin-
natl. New York and st. Louis ahead of
them in that order, They were 13I2
games back of the league leading
Cardinals while the Robins, in fifth
position led them by 6l2 games.
July 7 the Corsairs took both ends OF
a double header and began nine
game winning streak Since that date
they have won 80 games and lost Ia
for percentage of .731, by far the
best mark In the league. They've left
the Dodgers far behind and now are
tied for fourth place with the Reds
and only a nalf game behind the
Giants, who still hold second place.
The Cardinals, setting the pace, lead
them by six games.
The seven games the Pirates have
with the Cardinals in the next two
weeks probably will decide one way or
the other whether DOME Bush really
has chance for his second pennant in
Two years
Basing calculations on the form thew
have shown since they began their
streak. the Pirates figure to be rather
better than long shots TO repeat.
Here's how the five contenders have

since the Yankees began to make good
and make money. too--that some Ameri-
can League club owners are calling for
a new deal. But they don't know how
to get it. The Yankees have put to-
