Air Mail Records
Shattered in May,
Report Discloses
Total of 587,47l Pounds
Betters Previous Mark
of $4,000 Pounds.

All records were broken in the trans
portation Of air mail last month accord
ing to report made public yesterday by
Postmaster General Brown.
A total of 5S7,471 pounds were car
ried during May, as compared with $685.
672 for April. The highest previous
record in the history of the air mail
was last December, when the extra
Christmas mail brought the total air
mail poundage up to $4,000 pounds.
Last month the daily average car
ried by the mail planes was 1880
pounds and the daily mileage flown
increased from 30,863 miles to 36,334
miles.
The air mail line through Washing
ton kept pace with the rest of the
country, with a total of 30,069 pounds,
as compared with 22,149 pounds in
April.
Only three lines showed any decrease
in the amount of mail carried. They
were the routes from Cleveland to
Pittsburgh, Atlanta to Miami, and
Chicago to Atlanta, the decrease being
largely due to the movement of Winter
visitors North from Florida, on the last
two lines

ROCHESTER, KANSAS
CITY IN TITLE SET

NEW YORK, September FITTINGS
are just about as cut and dried for the
little world series as they are for the
major league battle in October. Roches-
ter already has won the championship
OF the International League, and for
the second year in succession will play
against the winners Of the American
Association pennant. Kansas City has
the A. A. flag well nailed down. It
will be the first time since 1928 that
Kansas City has been able to indulge
itself in this post-season pleasure.
Last year In the little world series
Rochester made a lamentably poor
showing after playing q very good sea-
son. The Rochester club won but one
game against five for Indianapolis.
Birmingham has won the champion
ship of the Southern Association and
that cinches one-half Of the Dixie
series. Wichita Falls and Dallas will
play this week TO see which is to be
won the first half and Wichita Falls
the second half Of combination season.
Birmingham was in the Dixie series
Of 1928, but lost to Houston after the
Texans had warmed up to their task.
Like Rochester's case, BirminghamS
only victory was the second game of
the series, when the Southern Associa-
ton won by to 8.
There will. Of course, be no Chicago
city series this year. That has been
one of the post-Season series Of much
interest in the West whenever it has
been played. The Sox and Cubs can
engage in a duel in Chicago which
seems to encourage as much interest in
that city as any series that Is arranged.

OUer 100000 Applicants
For Seats in Windy City

CHICAGO, September II P.-
Certified checks and postal money
orders for approximately 100000
good American dollars, covering ap-
plications for world series seats in
Wrigley Field, have been received
at the Cub Offices.
OF course, part Of the negotiable
paper must be returned to disap-
pointed applicants. for there are not
that many dollars worth Of seats
available. but neither the two world
series between the Yankees and
Giants. nor the two Cardinal Yankee
struggles inspired as many fans to
send in bids for tickets.
William L. Veeck, president Of the
Cubs, said no less than 200 900 ap-
plications have been received. with
more pouring in with every mail de-
livery.
While the sale goes on the team,
still one game away from the Ma
tional League title, Is no longer
bothered about the goings and COM
ings Of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The
athletes figure the pennant Is theirs
and are concentrating on informa-
ton concerning Connie Mack's Ath-
letics. Even the double victory Of

P|RATESA ARE GIVING
THE CUBS NO HELP
Twice Defeat PhiIIies to
Retain Mathematical
Pennant Chance.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Editor.

JEWEL EMS Pittsburgh Pirates
rather late to be sure-Seem TO
have determined to give the Chi
~ cago Cubs absolutely no help IN
their chase for the National
League pennant.
With the Cubs needing either one VIC
tory on their own behalf or Pittsburgh
defeat to clinch the bunting, yesterday,
the Pirates were unfeeling enough to
take two from the Phillies and thus re-
tain their mathematical chance Of nos
ing out the Cubs, who were held idle by
rain.
Beating the Pills twice in one day
may not be any great feat for other
team in the league, but to the Pirates 1t
seemed like miracle. Before the
double bill began the Phils had trounced
Pittsburgh IL times in 10 games, only
the Giants having . better record
against the Corsairs.
Petty and Brame Strong.
Jess Petty and Erwin Brame held the
slugging PhilS to five hits in each game.
Petty outpitched Lester Sweetland to
win the first game, 80, in 10 innings.
Brame had wide margin over Smyth,
Collins. Bailey and McGraw in the
nightcap, which went to the Pirates,
So. Smyth was touched for seven hits
fray.
The Pirates double victory put them
four and one-half games in front of
the third-place Giants, who lost to st.
Louis, 5-4, in IL innings. Fitzsimmons
lost control In the eleventh, forced In
the tying run when he walked Wilson
with the bases filled and then permitted
Colbert to single. driving home the win
ming tally. Nell OFT hit his thirty-ninth
homer Of the season, placing him In a
tie with Chuck Klein and Hack Wilson
for the league leadership.
BoSton's Braves pounded Lucas hard
and defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 8 to
4. The seasons series, however, went
to the Reds, II games to 8.
Tribe Gaining on Yanks.
In the American League Cleveland
advanced to within five games of the
second-place Yankees by taking Ruth
and company over the jumps, to 2.
Miljus outpitched Wells, but was re-
lieved in the ninth by Yves Terrell after
Gehrig had tripled and Koenig dou-
bled. Ferrel stopped the Yanks dead
thereafter.
Alvin Crowder held the Athletics to
two hits and the st. Louis Browns beat
the new league champions, to 2. The
AS runs were scored in the fourth
when Simmons beat out an infield hit
and Foxx raped out his thirty third
homer. In no other inning could the
Mackmen get q safe hit.
Charley Rufnng had q slight edge on
Alphonse Thomas and the Boston Red
Sox nosed out Chicago, 4 to 3. The
victory put the Red Sox only four games
out Of seventh place.

TEAMS BATTLING
TO GET IN MONEY
Giants, Pirates Vie for Sec
ond and Indians and Browns
for Third Place.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

"a YEW YORK, September IL
While the Cubs and Athletics
are gleefully mailing down the
4 remnants, there are still two hot
races in the big leagucS re-
naming to be decided. In the National
League the New York Giants and the
Pittsburgh Pirates are battling for Sec
ond place and in the American League
the Cleveland and st. Louis teams are
putting on merry scrap for third po-
sition In the standings.
It means little larger cut OF the
world series money for the boys If they
finish second or third instead OF fourth,
and while the opportunity remains they
are going to work hard for those extra
shekels.
The st. Louis Nationals want to cling
to fourth place and will. That brings
in little gas money for the boys. The
second division. To do that Brooklyn
must be beaten, and the Phils are work.
ing the film OF their teeth to be sue
cessful.
Indians Well Behind.
There isn't q good chance for Cleve-
land to win second money in the Ameri-
can League, because the Indians are
too far back Of New York. There
might be some prospect Of 1t, II the
Yankees stopped along as they have
since they began their last Western trip.
They haven't been the same team since.
Lou Gehrig's awful foozle has had some
thing to do with 1t and Miller Higgins
has been experimenting with his team
to see what will be needed for the
shakeup Of $780, and the shakeup is
coming. Make no mistake about that.
Managers who wish to trade better get
their deals set up and see what they
can get for them.
At this time the real race in the
American League Is between Cleveland
and st. Louis to ascertain which team
will get third-place money. It is bat
tie worth while. There Is good pitching
on both sides Of the fence. Cleveland
has held its own under all kinds Of
conditions since August ! and If
change or two is introduced into that
team in 1890 to stabilize the infield the
Cleveland team will be regarded as
sturdy pennant contender next Spring.
League VIII Tighten.
The race Of 1890 in the American
League will not be any such race as
that Of 1929. The signs point to a
return Of some Western strength, and
the league needs it badly. No Western
team in the American League has won
a pennant since 1920. Cleveland grab
bed that one and Chicago won the year
before. When the East began to exer-
else q monopoly, with New York and
Washington dividing everything between
them until thts-and now the Athletics
are coming into port.
There IS to be q shake-up In the
Boston Braves, in the Giants and the
Yankees. and In the Detroit, Washing
ton and Brooklyn clubs. The signs
are hanging out announcing changeable
weather. Each Of these teams seeks
to improve. How far the Yankees will
go in changing is q question that is
absorbing the minds Of three managers
who would like to get some players from
the Yankees II Higgins makes over his
outfield. The infield Is bound to be
made over. The question is how it will
be done.

BAGBY GETS RELEASE
FROM NEWARK TEAM

NEWARK, September II F.-The
veteran right-hander, Jim Bagby, has
obtained his release from his old pal,
Iris Speaker, and left for his home in
Atlanta.
Purchased from Jersey City In mid
season Of 1928 by Newark, Bagby never
again was able to approach even close
to the form which made him a hero
Of Cleveland's pennant victory In 1920,
and he decided to turn to a managerial
career In a smaller league. He has
several offers under consideration.
Bagby reached the high point of his
career with the Indians in their pen
nant season, when he won 81 games
and divided in the world series as
Cleveland clinched the Interleague title.
Speaker, now manager of the Newark
1nternationalS, piloted the Indians.

PHILADELPHIA, September II
R.-It required only one short
working day for the Philadelphia
Athletics to dispose Of all their
tickets for the world series games
here with the Chicago Cubs.
I'VE are sold out for the series; 1t
will be impossible to consider any
further applications for seats" was
the word given out today by club
of1cialS.
The club had announced that be-
ginning yesterday at 1901 am. mail
requests for reservations would be
received. Immediately after that
hour thousands of fans dropped let
tiers into the mails. The orders were
in such volume that the club en-
gagged clerical force Of IS men and
women and rented q nearby vacant
factory to handle the business.
After more than $4,000 letters had
been received, most of them re-
questing two tickets, the maximum
to one person, the club lost inter-
est as the capacity of Shibe Park
was already far ver-subscribed. The
reserved seat capacity of the park
Is less than $1,000. During the day
1t was estimated that requests were
received for approximately $4,000
tickets.

But this Is only part Of the story. A
few hours after Goodman had defeated
Jones he found himself beaten by q still
younger player, only 10 years old, San
Francisco entry by the name Of Law
renee Little. On the first day Of the
championship an 1s-year.old unknown
had beaten the 20-year-old golfer who
had beaten Bobby Jones. There are
now thousands Of these young players
coming on with championship possible
ties. They won't all be champions. Only
a few viii. But hundreds Of them will
be good enough to beat any champion
who isn't ct his best. There are many
such now. There are possibly 80 or 40
almost unknown golfers, unknown at
least outside their own localities, who
are good enough at certain spots to beat
any champion who happens to be in the
throes of an off day.
There have been several incidents
to help this growing interest along.
The first came when Francis Oui-
met, youth Of 20. beat Vardon and
Ray In the play-off at Brookline Is
years ago. That story caught the
attention Of kids all over the land.
The next boom came when Gene
open champion OF the United States.
That victory gave thousands Of
caddies the same idea, and any
number Of youngsters who were
caddies when Sarazen won are now
crack professionals.
The victory Of Goodman over Jones
further opens up the gate to the imagi-
nation Of youthful army. They have
found there Is chance ahead, that the
road isn't blocked. Golf has wider
range than tennis or base ball or foot
bail. Here certain qualities Of weight,
speed. strength and reach are con-
cerned. The youth who beat Bobby
Jones was slender to slightness, with
out any outstanding physical qualities.
