 After five days in hiding for most ot the big league clubs, the entire enrolment Of both circuits will re turn 10 action today 10 begin the final week program which brings the 1929 campaigns to their respective conclusions, logical or otherwise. The CuDs yastcriay snatched another from the Reds, this enc by 6 to 3 in ten innings, and the White SoX cuttcd the Tigers hv 4 10 in the only two contests decided.
 Three other games were scheduled yesterday. The Giant-P PhilIy fray at Baker Bowl was washed peTmauent- ly from the schedule as tho teams already were down for two games this afternoon. and the BroWn-In- dian tilt in St. Louis was put over because of rain. It will be part Of a double header tomorrow. The Car dinal-Pirate argument at Forbes field was delayed until this after noon to make a bargain counter at- traction for clients of the DIayfues Dragons.
 John McGraw retained his chance to finish second, even though his game with the Phillies wont into the discard. As matter of fact this slender possibility was strcngth- ened a bit by the cancellation. Re fore the game was called off. the Giants were confronted with the task of winning four while the Pir- ates were losing three. The Clan Nc Graw now has only three contests to win. but of course, the Pirates must lose all their three to help the Polo Grounders
 sweep for the Giants and three reverses for the Pirates would leave the clubs in one Of those virtual ties' with the Bucs in games but McGraw would gain an edge in per centage through having won one fewer and lost one fewer than his Pittsburgh rivals. The Giants will play only 15l games, but the Pirates will go through 153.
 The Cub victory yesterday went to the credit of Charlie Root who re- lieNed Bob Osborne when the Reds tide the score in the eighth. l. was Roots nineteenth victory. Eppa Rixey went the route for the Red legs. but became wind in the tenth just before Stephenson and Poison reached him for singles. Rogers Hornsby got two hits in two official times at bat, lifting his average two pol&ts 10 .3o2. He still could nose out Babe Herman for second place, but neither he nor Herman could seriously threaten Frank O'DouI and his mark of .396

O'DOUL CLINCHES BATTING HONORS
Leads Babe Herman .396 to 1884
 in National League Race

New York. Oct. , lP-With the season all but finished. Frank O'Doul has the batting championship of the National league virtually clinched. Averages issued today and including aamcs Of last "Wednesday showed Oboul with an average of .3gG against .324 for Babe Herman Of Brooklyn and .&N1 for Rogers lornsby, tho Chicago Siege gun, That meant that. unless O'Doul should show a marked decline in his last three games, Herman and Horneby could hardly catch him even by hitting safely upon each Of their remaining visits 10 the plate.
 The changes for Uornsby 10 over haul Herman in the race for second honors were much brighter. Other leading regulars in the "Wednesday averages were: Terry New York. .374; Stephenson Chicago, .3G2: Klein. Philadelphia, and Traynor, Pittsburgh, .359: Cuylor, Chicago. .%56; Hendrick, Brooklyn, .&52 and L. Waner, Pittsburgh. ,$5o.
 O'noul not only led in batting. but also topped the field in total hits with -4S and apparently was destined 10 surpass Hornshy's Ma tional lcacur record of 25o, set in 1a22. George Sisters mark of 257, made in ig2o. seemed safe. however. against the drive Of the Philadelphia slug&cr.
 Hornshy led in runs scored with l5& and Hack Wilson, also of Chi cugo, sof tho pace in runs batted in with t52, frederick of Brooklyn was out front with 5& doubles and Lloyd Wancr. with 19 triples. Hagen Cuylor had stolen 70 bases to lead in this speciality.
 Chuck Klein and Melvinc Oft were tied with 42 home runs apiece, and Hornsby and Wilson were tied for third honors, each with g circuit blows.
 Charlie Root led the pitchers with is victories and six defeats for percentage of .75O. Guy Bush, an other ChicaEoan. was next in line with IS and seven for .?2o, followed by BurIeiEh Grimes of Pittsburgh with Y and seven for .70S. Perce Malone Of Chicago, the highest win ncr in the league, was fourth be- cause his , victories were balanced somewhat by 10 defeats, which brought his average down to .GSS.
 Philadelphia led in team batting with .309. Pittsburgh and Chica- go were tied for second place with .$o$, and New York was fourth with .g95. The Cubs led in team fielding with .975, and the Giants and the Reds shared second place with identical marks Of .g74.

 Hornsby, second hasoman for the Chicago Cubs, wont from Dcnison Texas. in the old Western associa- ton, to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1916. In 1926 he managed the Car dinals when they won the pcuuant and downed tho Yankees in the world series.
 Before inc next season opened, sam Breadou. the Card owner blew mp a hurricane when hr traded Horusby 10 the Now York Giants. .IIo lasted there one season. and was shipped 10 Boston. The Cubs bought him from h" Beantown.

 New York. Oct. 3 lF-Two solemn visagcd, soft-spohen young players who leave it to their bats to do their railing" stand ont as pros ncctive stars in the 1929 worlds series.
 They are Riggs Stephenson of the Cubs and Jimmy FoXX of the Ath- letics.
 As takers they bat about 900 but when it comes to swinging the will low they check in with ratings of around .36O.
 Since both teams have their prima donnas and their jockeys" '" it's results with the stick the series conbatants desire from Riggs and Jimmy
 And judging from their usual slugging pace they will be able to take care of their own hit produc- ton as we'll as that of one or two teammates, perhaps,
 This pair of tight-lipped cIoutors have been the very backbone of the batting attacks of the two pennant winners. FoXH has been lowering around the top of the league in batting since the 1929 campaign opened.
 He was out in front most of the season and was doing his heaviest hitting when it was needed, when such clubs as the Yankees needed i some good. sound slugginG to keep them suppressed. Jimmy eased up during the clos | ing days of the season and his aver age dropepd from around 39O to In the vicinity of the .36O mark. They call Stephenson old Hoss" Stephenson. That old plugging style that has been getting the batting and rnn-producing results for the Cubs for the last four years has { made J. Riggs one of the most feared of biz league batters of the 1 age.

 Pastry Market Records

Chicago. Oct. 5 tP>-If all the hot dogs" 10 be eaten during the world series at Wrigley Field were linked together they would make q chain of sausage from Pinconnins, Mich., to Gauley Friday, West Nir- ginia. via Michigan Central to To- Iedo and thence onward by divers other reads.
 The estimate is approximate Ac- curacy in such cases is impossible. The weather will have much to do with it. If the games should go extra innings the chain might even reach as far as Atlanta, Ga. Demand for puppy pastry will be greater if the weather be oNcrcoat Ithan if if be shirtslocyo. Tho dog ] in-bun addict is q big problem for dieticians at any season. In the autumn. however, he goes entirely out Of bounds.
 Advance statistics on pop are still more vague. If all the pop that will be drunk were dumped into Lake Michigan at game time 1t might or might not make the perch turn delicate salmon color Be- yond that. thre is little reliable pre- i liminary information.
 painstaking canvas among pop 1 purvoyors at the park, failed 70 discover anyone who cared to ven turc even a wild guess as to the possible pop consumption. Indeed, one of the popmen declared indig- nantly that pop did not cause con- sumption.
 It is somewhat easier to predict i how many sacks of peanuts will be F'letchcrized. If the appetite fol this roasted delicacy holds up to previous series, nine out of every ten customers will be sitting in a mess Of shucks before the game Is half over.
