WITH MACK'S SLEEP
Connie Will Not Be Able to

~ PHILADELPHIA, September 28-
- It's pretty well understood out
around Shibe Park that this
l. world series fracaS between the
Athletics and Cubs is going to
break in on Connie MackS regular
mapping hour.
Mack's tower Offices at the ball park
have known the veteran managers
daily routine for years, hence they can
foresee how the series will interfere
with his sleep.
Every day during the home games
Mack leaves for the ball park ac-
companied usually by Mrs. Mack. at
1920 am. Formerly he would enter
through the press gate. but not now.
This is world series ticket time so he
lodges through a side entrance slips
along the catwalk over a boiler room
and reaches the iron stairway leading
to the tower unobServed.
There he takes care of his cores
pondence and receives the reports Of his
scouts
Then, every afternoon at PAS pm.
the 66-year-old manager takes a nap
on red leather couch in his office suite.
For 80 minutes he relaXes completely.

house and prepares his lineup.
From there he takes his place on the
bench, gets his famous wig-wagging
scorecare in working order and directs
the play of his team by series of
signals evolved years ago. A small
black notebook in a vest pocket is part
of the equipment carried to the bench.
In it Mack jots down every players
weakness, and he can tell you why
Brown can't hit high ball inside or
why Jones goes better to his right side
for ground balls than to his left.

was first to admit that Connie Mack

Following that memorable five-game
series when the Athletics met the
Yankees at the stadium last June, l
found the little manager in receptive
mood. He spoke of an article in which
had highly praised the performance
and caliber of the Mackmen.

NEW YORK, September 28.-Phil
Scott is being considered as the OPP
ponent for Jack Sharkey in the second
battle of the Everglades, to take place
at Miami next February. SCOTS sur
prising victory over Vittorio Campolo
gives him the call unless the local box
ing commission decides to forgive Max
Schmeling.
Scott, a boxer. surprised the fans and
Campolo. especially, by standing up
under some hefty digs to the body and
powerful blows to the jaw. Instead of
the British champion being in danger
of a knockout, it was the giant from the
Argentine who was in danger of listen
ing to the chirping of the brides.
Not little credit for SCOTS changed
tactics belongs to the resourceful Jimmy
Johnston. Little Jimmy certainly earns
the title of being the rejuvenator of
passe fighters. Johnston took Scott
away from the bright lights and laid
the law down to the dour- visaged Eng
liShman. Jimmy was the boss and made
this known to Scott before the fighter
was in training "a hours.
Talking to Scott was not the full ex-
tent of Johnston'S strategy. He had to
dope out some way to nerve the Eng
liShman and make him stand up under
fire. What did Johnston do? He SIM
ply went out and dug up the toughest,
toughest fellow he could find for SPAR
ring partner and promised him $50

it must be said that he stood up man.

Alternately, they have brought him
fame and broken his heart. In 1925
this steel-muscled star batted and field
ed his way to world series glory with
the Pittsburgh Pirates. Two years later,
because of differences with Manager
DOME Bush, he was forced to warm
the Pirate bench during the entire dis
astrous series with the New York
Yankees.
But the impending Autumnal classic
between the Cubs and Athletics affords
XXI" an opportunity to more than
square accounts. AS one of the out
standing stars of the starring Cubs he
is expected to play leading role against
Connie Macks men. And Cuyler is
ready.
What didn't get chance to do in

mitted. All season 1 have felt right,
and / feel right now. 1 am going to
play to win, and this time when the
fans yell for me I'll be swinging"
In the 1927 classic the refusal Of
Bush to permit the speedy, accurate
throwing outfielder to play even as

for the BUGS created almost as much
talk as the onesidedness of the series.
All the cheers of the fans fell on deaf
ears in so far as Bush was concerned,
and when trading season opened again
Cuyler was traded for cash and players
to the Cubs.
Base ball, in general, has been that
way to Cuyler, now one Of the most
dangerous members of the Wanted

four years - 1920 TO 1924 - before he
finally became regular on the Pirate
team. Then in 1928 an injury and
some unkindly criticism from Cub fans.

him into a mental and batting slump.
This season, however, has found
XXI in the same form he was in
1925. He has pilfered more bases than
any player in either major league-40
in all. and his batting has ranged from
.315 to $40. In addition, his throwing
arm has been stronger. On only rare
occasions has a player gone from first
to third on single to his right field
garden.
If the Cubs fail to get to Athletic
pitchers during the coming series Cuyler
will prove more invaluable to Nc

BUGS LOSE GROUND
IN RUNNER-UP RACE

BY the Associated Press.
tn HE base ball stage was left vacant
yesterday except for the per-
formanceS at Philadelphia and
st. Louis. The Phillies defeated
the Braves by IL to 5 in the first
game of a three-game series, cementing
their position in fifth place, and the
Cardinals made it two straight over the
broken Pirates by 4 to 2. The Pitts
burgh defeat left the Buccaneers only
two games ahead of the Giants, with
a week of the season to go.
The clan McGraw has eight games
to play; the Pirates have six. If the
Giants can win six out of eight, the
prevent a tie. The task of the Giants.
however, is by no means negligible. A
deficit of two games is no mean handi-
cap at this season.
Ray Koupal held the Braves fairly
we'll in check at Baker Bowl as his
mates pounded Messrs. Leverett, Perry
and Delaney. Chuck Klein got his
forty-second homer in the first inning
with one on, and moved into tie with
Melvin OFT of New York for the league
lead. Klein's drive also tied the Ma
tional League record set in 1922 by
Rogers HornSby and equaled this week
by OFT.
Frank ODoul, the reformed pitcher.
had a perfect day at bat, with three
safeties and a pass. He lifted his av-
erage from .391 to 1874 and virtually
clinched the National League champion
ship. Babe Herman has only 1874 and
has just six games in which to make
up the deficit.
FredFrankhouse and Sylvester john
son outpitched Erwin Brame to give
the Cardinals their second straight over
the Pirates. Bunched hits in the first
inning settled the issue.
The other National League clubs were
not scheduled, and all of the American
League entries remained idle because
of the funeral services Of Miller Hug
gins in New York.
