NEW YORK, Oct. 4.--Headed for
the minor leagues a few weeks ago,
Jonathan Thompson Zachary on the
eve of the world series finds him
self in the role of prospective savior
of the world championship for the
New York Yankees.
This big raW-boned North Caro-
lima Southpaw who came to the
Yankees via the waiver route from
Washington during the waning days
of the season played a major part in
the final drive of the New York
club, winning three vital games on
the last western trip.
American League supporters today
pointed to Zachary as the big ques-
ton of the series. Miller Higgins
needs a third pitcher to go with
Waite Hoyt and George Pipgrass
and he is looking to Zachary to fill
the breach.
OF in a dark corner under the
towering stands at Yankee stadium
today, Zachary confided that Hug
gins couldn't start him soon enough
to satisfy his wish.
I'm a greater pitcher now than
I ever was" Zachary drawled. Il
amt figuring the Cardinals any diff
ferent from any other ball club
They can be stopped just like any
other team. There's some pretty
good hitters in the American League
and I've stopped them"
How do you know you are going
to pitch in this Series?"
IT don't know it, but if I don't,
everybody connected with this ball
club is crazy"
Zachary never has lost a world
series game. He beat the Giants
twice in the 1924 world series, win
ming the second game against Jack
Bentley, to 3, and the sixth against
Art Nehf and Bill Ryan, 2 to /. In
the 1925 series against the Pirates
"Bucky" Harris figured Zachary, as
a lefthander, wouldn't fare so well
and he worked only two innings.
Higgins present plan Is to pitch
Hoyt, Pipgras, Zachary, and Hoyt in
the order named in the first four
games, but that plan may be altered
by subsequent happenings in any
Of the games.
Zachary, however, figures he may
be started the second game.
Herb Pennock and Earl Combs worked
out with the Yankees in their final
get in the series. PennOck warmed up,
but was unable to do more than toss
the ball.
MY arm still hurts me-" he said.
Combs chased flies in the 0utfield, but
he had TO throw with his left hand. He
cannot, grip a bat because of the swol-
len right wrist.
When Ben Paschal, Yankees center
fielder, faces Sherdel today ii will be
the first time they have faced each
other since Paschal, pinch hitting in
the 1926 world SERIES singled and drove
Gehrig home with the tying run. The
Yankees won the game In the tenth,
II got sherdel's number" Paschai said
today.
Miller Higgins is the 50-year old son
of an English cricket player and the
only Euglishman who rose to fame in
baseball. He holds a law degree. He
seldoms talks, ana even more seldom
smiles. Smoking a pipe is his favorite
recreation.
Babe Ruth has six new bats for the
series but may not use them. The yam
KEGS have more than eighty bats in all.

Gorham Leverett, one OF the In
dams mainstay righthanders, has
been awarded to the Boston Ma
tionals in the draft, it was an
nounced Wednesday night. He won
nineteen. games and lost twelve this
season and was big help to the
Betzelites in their pennant cam
paign.
The big fellow got away to fast
start in the spring and kept moving
along at a strong pace.
The Tribe obtained Leverett from
the Chicago White SoX in the spring
of 1927.
Only one player can be drafted
from a club in Glass AA, and the
only draft eligibles are players who
have come down from the big league
the past few years. Players "on
their way up" can not be drafted.
Dudley Branorl, Louisville first

are. Pitching, always the most i'm
portant factor in world series,
favorS st. Louis by as much as two
to one, I should say.
There is no use belittling the pos
sibility OF a Yankee batting ram
page, and when it comes it is one
of the hardest things in baseball to
stop. I think, however, the Card
inals have just what is needed to
stop it this year, even if it shows
up.
Alexander, Haines, Sherdel. Rhem
and Mitchell, after what they
showed this season, should be able
to tie the weakened Yankees into
knots.
A st. Louis victory seems newt
able; a victory in five games at
the outside is what I look for.

halfback in great style for

In fifty-five attempts to pill
