SAME FATE
AS CARDS
BY Bob Thayer

EN- ROUTE TO PHILADEL-
PHIA, Pa, Oct. 10.-Over-
whelming American League
superiority in worlds series
games of recent years is base
ball s latest menace. At least
that's the opinion of baseball
men assembled for the current
series between the Phlladel-
phia Athletics and Chicago
Cubs.
The handy manner in which the
AS disposed Of Joe Mccarthy
Bruins in their own back yard has
aroused much speculation on TINS
subject. Also it has created an I'M
preston that Connie Mack's gang
NAV sweep the 1929 event in four
straight games.
The Athletics themselves are cock
sure Of their ability to tumble the
Cubs in Shibe Park, their own home
lot. and admitted as much before
departing from Chicago last night.
'We're a cinch to put the finishing
touches on this series in Phtladel-
phia." veteran player remarked
while grabbing himself cup OF
coffee" we've licked everything
that Mccarthy has sent against us
and we can do it again. Wen win
out in five games as sure as shoot.
Ing and 1t wouldn't surprise me IL
everything here isn't nailed down
by Saturday night"
Should this prediction come to
pass the present day National
League entries will look bad
indeed. When the AS belted
the Cubs for their second i'm
row yesterday 1t marked the
tenth straight game that the
senior league representative has
dropped In series competition.
The New York Yankees knocked
off the Pittsburgh Pirates in straight
games two years ago and followed
suit against the st. Louis Cardinals
in 1928. Another clean sweep by the
Elephants would go far toward kill
Ing off the National League interest
in basebalIs annual hlue-ribbon pres
entation.
While both the Pirates and Cardi-
the Bruins have shown even worse
while battling the AS. Not only
have their own pitchers failed to
hold up but the Athletic moundsmen,
considered a problem in the pre-
season analysis, have made the sup
posedly powerful Chicago batting
order look ridiculous.
When such totted hitsmiths as
Rogers Hornsby, Lewis Wilson,
Hazen Cuyler, Riggs Stephenson and
other National League kingpins aid
materially in contributing rs strike
outs to the Athletic total in two
games, their leagues caliber may
well be questioned.
Howard Ehmke, George Earnshaw
and Bob Grove, entirely different
types OF moundsmen, have all
baffled the big Bruin guns with
ease and have apparently demoral.
lied what was thought to be one OF
the best rounded National League
combinations turned out in years.
On the other hand no less than
six Cub pitchers have been trotted
out by Joe Mccarthy and none
save Art Nehf, fading veteran
and Charlie Root, prize right
handler, have shown anything worth
while.

or course there were moments
Of pitching greatness. But 1t
wasn't pitching that won. 1t
was good old.fashioned smuggling
and the AS showed more of
the power to win than the Cubs.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-10-10

A thing that has interested me
lot was the interest the fans have
taken in strikeouts in this series.
They started with Ehmke's great
record in that first game and all
day yesterday l noticed that the
folks around me were lot more m
terested in the mounting strikeouts
than they were in any other angie
If the game.
Two things are responsible for the
great number of StrikeoutS thus far.
one of course is the fine work of the
pitchers-but even more than that
is the fact that both teams are
swinging from the end and taking
fun cut at the ball. When club
uses that hitting style there are
bound to be a lot of strikeouts.
TO my mind the outstanding Tea
tme of that game yesterday, in so
far as it affected the result of the
series, was the showing of Lefty
Grove. The Cubs you know, have
had a reputation for killing left-hand
pitching. When Connie Mack sent
Grove to the mound yesterday to re-
lieve Earnshaw it was the big test.
And Lefty came through with flying
COlors.
He proved then and there that a
southpaw, if he pitches right, can
stop the Cubs the same as he can
stop any other club. And ne
proved to his own and Comics sat
isfaction that he was right. Now
Connie can go ahead and use Wal
berg, too, and l imagine he will.
AS result of losing yesterday
Joe Mccarthy naturally is up
against it. He has gone in with
his two aces and lost. He has used
Bush and Nehf and Carlson and
Blake for relief work without get
ting anywhere. Today fortunately
he had an off day to let his men
rest up bit. But Friday in
Philly he must either come in there
with winner or lose his last
chance for victory.
It's a tough spot. The AS are
sitting pretty. the Cubs have
their backs to the wall. That
game yesterday. had the Cubs
won, would have evened every
thing. Now that they've lost
they're in the toughest spot
| any club can be and still re-
main in the series.
That game yesterday think
proved beyond all question the SUI
periority of Mack pitching and

pitchers come through but the

Not only that, but the National

played anything but smart base

Western Golfers
Number Half OF
National Entries

NEW YORK, Aug. s. UP)--
Nearly onehalf the actual contens
ders for the national amateur golf
championship, which is to start at
Del Monte, Calf, Sept. ?, will be
from the Pacific coast, an entry
list issued today by the United
States Golf Association reveals.
With only handful of foreign
entries and about two score from
the east, the far west seems to be
in a strategic position to gather in
the most sought after of all amateur
golf titles, George Won Elm, who
won the championship at Baltusrol
in 1926, and Jack Westland, recent
winner of the French amateur title,
no lnoger were registered from far
western golf clubs, but they are
products of the game as played on
the Pacific coast and are two of the
strongest of the field of 162 golfers
who are left in the entry list
Bobby Jones, present national
open champion, after indicating
that he would devote most of his
attention to the law, has decided to
seek the amateur title once more
and to carry on campaign in 1880
in quest of honors abroad. In this
frame of mind, the Albanian will
be hard to stop, but there is good
reason to anticipate his downfall
in View of the strong representa-
tion from the Pacific coast in the
Del Monte tourney.

Attention Drawn
BY Tame Coyote

interest in a young coyote parked in

Main streets late in the afternoon.
The coyote belonged to A. G. Wall

an extensive hunting trip in Lower
California. He stated he brought
the coyote from the extreme end Of
the Lower California peninsula
where he obtained il from Mexi-

The coyote is five months old and
remarkably docilq, permitting his
owner and strangers to handle him
at will.
He rides in side seat on the
automobile, and is firmly held to
his perch by stout chains attached
TO collar and TO a chest harness.
When a pssserby happened along
with large sized dog, spectators
got ready to see the fur fly but
were disappointed when the dog
and coyote put on "pal" act that
was as tame a. a prayer meeting.

'Noah's Ark To
Be Presented At
Airdome Theatre

Biblical and modern history are
cleverly combined to make " Noah S

most spectacular pictures ever at

In presenting the film Warner
Bros. Nitapbone offer the work of
three years of actual picture max
ing, preceded by other years of
careful research, and a cast of ia
nous film work pictures, headed by
Dolores Costello and George O'Brien
Others who are seen in important
parts include Noah Beery, Louise
Fazenda, Quinn Williams. Paul Nc
Alister, Myrna 10y and Nigel de
Brulier.
The story OF sNoah's Ark is pre-
sented in three episodes. The first
is aboard a continental train Just
prior to the opening Of the World
War, and follows the fortunes of
two young Americans and an Alsat-
ian dancer through that great con
fliet to the time when the girl is
before firing squad of which her
lover is a member. Saved from the
firing squad when the adjoining
building is bombarded they escape
to cellar.
While waiting in the cellar the
Biblical part of the story unfolds.
The characters in the modern tale
are seen in the famous Biblical tale
of the flood. Noah is seen building
his Ark TO the accompaniment of
gibes and insults from the pagans.
He persefYercs and when all is ready
the animals are placed aboard the
Ark, the floods descend and the Ark
alone remains to shelter all living
things.
Again the scene shifts back to the
present with the announcement Of
the Armistice and a world gone
made with joy. The romance that
began on the continental train, and
which had its counterpart in the
Bible story, comes to a happy con
clusion. s&URADM
