BURNS IS Baking
AT SHIFT TO YANKs

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, September 18.-Georg
Burns, veteran Of Is major league has
ball season and In 1925 the American
Leagues most valuable player. has an
nounced his refusal to report to the New
York Yankees, to whom he was sold
at the waiver price by the Cleveland
club.
Burns regarded the deal an injustice.
inasmuch as he had asked for his un-
conditional release in order to negotiate
for a managerial job with q minor
league club. Waivers were asked at his
request, he said, but he wished them
withdrawn when the New York club
refused to waive him out of the league
In addition, Burns said his wife was
seriously iii and he wanted to remain
with her in Cleveland.
The veteran first baseman said he
had "a lot Of good base ball left in
him." and wanted to obtain a playing
managerial position with some fast
minor league club before his playing
days are over. He added because Of the
few remaining games left In the present
campaign he would be Of little use to
the Yankees.
After driving out 81 two-base hits to
establish new world record, and win
ming the American Leagues most-val-
liable player award In 1925, Burns hit
ting steadily fell of until this season
he was used mostly as a pinch-hitter.

Joe Cronin Is Fielding Hero
OF Griffs' 4-3 Win Over Tigers

Tigers considerably. McManus moved
from third to short to take Warmers
place. Harry Rice was lifted from the
outfield to third base, while Wingo went
to center and Hargrave behind the bat
All of Vests three hits were sound
drives. He singled to center the first
time UP. But his second single and his
double were to right field.
Gehringer gave Marberry much trouble.
Fred passed the Tiger twice and once
slammed the ball against Charley's
right thigh. Twice Gehringer grounded
to judge, but each grounder was hit
hard.
Irving Hadley was to pitch for the
Nationals in their last game of the
year with the Tigers. Billings was
apt to be the home clubs choice.

NEW YORK, September l8.-John
Conway Toole. president of the Inter-

favored Tuesday, September Is for the
start Of the Junior world series between
remnant winners of the International

cause of the close stretch fight in both
circuits.
Minneapolis and Indianapolis are
running neck and neck In the Ameri-

struggle in the international. 1t would
be impossible for Minneapolis to reach
any one of the International League
cities comfortably in time for Tues

next Sunday. This is the interna-
tional's turn to open the series at home.

DEMPSEY REAFFIRMS
HIS RING Retirement

NEW YORK, September 49,
The announcement Of considerable
interest" which Jack Dempsey had
to make yesterday was what was
expected by his friends, who are
convinced the former heavyweight
champion Of the world Is through

affirmed that his retirement Is not
thing OF convenience, but Of per-

"I'm through with boxing for all
time" said Dempsey. That's no
secret. I'm sorry you boys were
called around here on wild goose
chase, but I have no statement to
make. I'm In retirement and In

TEAM IS PINNED
TO DEFEND POST
Jones, Braxton, HadIey and
Marberry Chief Depend.
ahIes in Fight Ahead.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.


~ ETRoIT, September IS. - In
fourth place in the American
League standings this mornins
IL after brave battle to regain
it, the Nationals seemed well
prepared in a pitching way for the
fight to maintain their hold on the las
of the money places in the seasonal
race.
With off-days occurring In the sched-
ule of this final Western swing tonlor-
row and week later for his club, Mall
ager Stanley Harris can send to the hill
Sam Jones, his leading pitcher, In each
of the three series following this with
the Tigers, and also can use in the three
series Garland Braxton, the Nationals
southpaw star. This can be accomp-
lished without working either of these
slabmen out of turn, too.
In the four games to be played before
they invade Chicago the Nationals AIM
to at least keep pace with their main
rival for the fourth berth, then clinch
the position in the three-game set with
the White Sox to be staged next Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday. It's in the
Windy City that the Harris horde con-
fidently expects to see the fourth-place
fight definitely decided.
Nationals Strong Now.
This struggle to climb into the last
money place has revealed the Nationals
as one Of the strongest organizations in
the circuit at present. When they
started the ascension from seventh
place In the race about the middle OF
August the Harris horde had record
of only 90 victories against "a defeats.
In this protracted squirt, however, it
has won 10 of 80 engagements. AT the
outset of the squirt the Nationals were
Is games shy Of such a mark. That's
o splendid pickup for any club.
Good pitching, well supported afield,
has been largely responsible Tor this
upward trend of the club. The Ma
tionals have not been hitting at any
great rate during most OF the climb. In
fact, they frequently have hit so lightly
that en- extra burden was put uocn
their pitchers, but the big four-San
jones, Irving Hadiey, Garland Braxtcn
and Fred Marberry-have responded
ncbiy.
These four hurlers appear in tip-tc7
trim at present end there IS nc reason
TO believe th.y will falter to any extent
during the dozen days remaining in the
championship campaign. A game or
two may be dropped here and there.
but 1t certainly seems the Nationals
have all the pitching strength they
need to get the fourth money.
Given good support afield and fair
amount of assistance extensively.
Messrs. Jones, Hadley. Breticn and
Marberry should provide a snappy finish
for a campaign tl1at was opened rather
dismally by the Washington club.

JONES WILL HUNT DEER
AFTER SEASONS CLOSE

After the final game of the season
at st. Louis September 80 most Of
the Griffmen will hike directly to
their homes to dig in for the Winter,
but a notable exception will be S.
Pond Jones, leading pitcher Of the
Nationals this season and an en-
thusiastic hunter at all times.
Under the leadership Of Eddie
Collins of the Athletics, Sad Sam Is
planning to gun for deer the last
two weeks in October, along with
Joe Bush, also of the Athletics;
Benny Bengcugh of the Yankees,
Fred Holman Of the Red Sox and

Z VALUE Of physical exercise prob
ably never has been mere striS-
~ ingly demonstrated than In the
case of Edgar S. Duvall, star
pitcher OF the A. Lofier Pro-
vision Co. team Of this city.
Eadiy crippled when youngster as
the result Of an attack Of infantile par
alysis, Duvall, who now is 26, has fine
physique except that one leg is sorne-
what undeveloped.
Condemned apparently to wear
brace and use a crutch all his life,
young Duvall determined to battle to
regain his health. He entered athletics
and despite his handicap made name
for himself, not only on the diamond,
but as foot ball and basket ball player.
Gradually he grew stronger and was
able to discard his brace and two years
ago he found he could get along pitch
ing without his crltch.

As a result of a survey, it has
"A been ascertained thato4%
of the principal executives of
the Pullman Company smoke
cigars. Their position and
work requires the clear mind
and the steady nerves that are
so important to good health.
A cigar is smoked for en-.
ioyment and taste, slowly and
quietly, not to crafty a mere
nervous habit or craving. So
one cigar is not lighted from
the end of another, nervously
or hurriedly: The days end
does not find the cigar smoker
tired, with nerves aAuner,
throat irritated and mouth
parched.
For to use the words of one of
New York's most celebrated
throat specialists:
Perhaps the basic reason for
the great prevalence of throat
troubles is the irritating action
of hot tobacco smoke on the
very sensitive membranes of
the mouth and throat.
Cigar smoke is cool, because
the tobacco burns slowly and
the smoke is filtered and cool.
