West HAS NO
APPEAL FOR
JOHN MCRAW
Giants Drop Three at
Pittsburgh and At
St. Louis Lose One;
Reds Now Second
By HERBERT W. BARKER
Press Sports Writer


The west, with its many pitfalls
for the unwarY, has no booster
in John McGraw, the master-mind
ing pilot Of the New York Giants.
After taking three straight on the
chin al Pittsburgh, the Giants moved
into the even more dangerous terri
tory Of st. Louis Tuesday and en-
countered a storm Of home runs that
gave the league-leading Cardinals
an easy 5 TO ] victory in the first
game OF the series.
Their defeat dropped the Giants
into third place, Cincinnati moving
up into runner-up position BY its IL
to I defeat Of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
The Reds, making a gallant come
back after a slump that sank them
into the second division for q time,
now are four and a half games back
Of the Cardinals, with the Giants an
other full game TO the rear.
Reds Hit Hard
Joe Genewith pitched pretty good
ball for McGraw until the sixth in
ming. Andy Highs home run IN the
fourth being the only Cardinal
score. The Giants tied II up in their
half Of the sixth and then the storm
broke. High started off things with
his second homer Of the game. A
walk to Jim Bottomley and circuit
drives by Chick Hafey and George
Harper ended the four-run rally.
Clarence Mitchell, aged southpsw,
eXerted his usual spell over the
Giants, giving up only five hits
The Reds pounded three Dodger
hurlers for Is hits in their seventh
successive triumph at Cincinnati.
Pete Donohue held a tight rein on
the Dodger sluggers until the late
innings when the Reds had piled up
a long lead. George Kelly. the long
first baseman, was the hitting star
with four out of five.
Hartnet's single with the bases
loaded in the ninth gave the Chica-
70 Cubs a Z 70 6 decision over the
Boston Braves in a wild battle at
Wrigley field. Rogers Hornsby's
sixteenth homer Of the season had
given the Braves a tie in the first
half III the last frame. Kent Green
field had put the Cubs far out in
front in the fifth inning when he
walked five men. This generosity
with a triple, double and single ac-
counted for six runs.
Waner Boys On Job
The Waner boys drove in the ty-
ing and winning runs in the Pitts
burgh Pirates 6 to ) victory over
the Phillies. The Pills took a one
run lead in their half OF the ninth
but singles BY Little and Big Poi
son" enabled the Corsairs to regis
ter their fourth straight win-the
second time this year they've put
together q streak OF that length.
The Washington Senator'S moved
up To a tie for fourth place in the
American league BY beating the
Cleveland Indians in both ends 81
p double. ? 70 T and 2 to o. The
niFhtcap was something or a freak
for the Indians got no fewer than IA
hits off Milt Con, yet could not
score a run.
Lou Blue and Frank O'Rourke led
the st. Louis Browns To a I 70 ? tri-
umph over the Boston Red Sox in
the opening game Of the series.

BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The ma
jor league pennant races are prac-
tically oyer, and barring miracle
the New York Yankees and the ST.
Louis Cardinals will meet in the
world series, scheduled to start next
Thursday.
The Yankees clinched the Ameri-
can League pennant by their VIC
tory over the Detroit Tigers Friday
IL to 6. The Cardinals had only
to win one more game to capture
the National League championship
Or if the New York Giants lost
today the effect would be the same.
BY defeating the Tigers, the
YankS won their sixth pennanJ of
the past eight years. They will en-
ter the world series crippled by the
absence of Earl Combs, one of the
greatest center f1elders in the game
today. and with Herb Pennock, Babe
Ruth and Tony Lazzeri suffering
from injuries which may seriously
impair their value In the world
series.
Combs fractured his wrist In
Thursdays game, Pennock may be
unable to pitch at all, Ruth is limp
ing and LaZzeri has water on the
shoulder which makes it extremely
dangerous for him to use his arm.
If the Cardinals won today, or If
the Giants lost. or both, the Sun
day game, which brings the lead
ing pennant contenders together at
the Polo Grounds will be as unnec-
eSSary as an Al Smith button on the
East Side of New York
Having clinched the American
League pennant, the Yankees now
have five days of badly needed rest
before the .post-season series for the
worlds championship.
When President John Heydler of
the National League overruled the
protest of the Giants concerning the
first game of Thursdays double
header he practically wrote out the
ticket for the Cardinals to enter the
world series.

Andre Routis
Wins Worlds
Mitt Crown
FrenChman Beats Canzoneri
in BattIs for Feather
weight Title.
Bv United Press

BIZ United Press ..
NEW YORK, Sept. % The
teatherweight championship of the
world which Eugene Criqui won SO
gallently and lost with equal gall
lantry few weeks later some years
ago, once more is held by French
man, little Andre Routis.
Out1ghting Tony CanZoneri of
Brooklyn through fifteen torrid
rounds before a crowd of about
10000 at Madison Square Garden
Friday night, Routis won the judges
verdict and carried off the title.
The first championship battle of
the indoor season proved fatal to
Canzoneri, who is rapidly growing
out of the featherweight division
and made the weight for Friday
nights fight only with the greatest
difficulty.
Routis, strong and full of fight,
carried the battle to his opponent
from the first bell. Canzoneri, able
to outlook his man at long range,
took a lot of punishment when the
Frenchman moved in close and beat
away for the body with both hands.
Although the Italian from Brook
Ign went into the ring at 2-to-1
favorite there was not a dissenting
voice raised when Joe Humphreys
announced, "the winner and a new
champion" ....
Routis won nine of the fifteen
rounds.
