n YEw YORK. September 1s.-With
M only q short two weeks to
" 60, the National League pen
nant race still is in the toss
uu'' stage with fours teams that ap-
pear to nave almost equally good
chances Of winning. The New York
Giants may md four-game deficit too
much to make up in their remaining
IA contests, but st. Louis, Brooklyn
and Chicago, which stand in that order
today, leave little to choose among
them.
The Cardinals. who have come from
fourth place with the seasons, most
brillian: winning streak, took the lead
today by beating Boston, while the
Cubs were losing to the Ph1ll1eS. But
Brooklyn kept pace and trails by only
two points.
Any one of the four teams may be
able to win the required number OF
games, and 1t seems probable the series
next week between st. Louis and
Brooklyn and that between New York
and Chicago may be the deciding fac
tors. On the basis of past perform
ances, the Robins have distinct adj
vantage over st. Louis, but by winning
90 games of their last % the Cards
have reduced all such considerations to
the realm of useless statistics.
Robins Hop Along.
Brooklyn also is going at top speed,
having won nine straight games without
a sign of a break. The Robins, how
ever, have suffered two setbacks in
injuries to players. A few days ago
RUDE Bressler went out for the season
with a broken finger and today Johnny
Frederick Joined him on the side
lines with q severely strained back
muscle. To make up for this, the
Robins have a pitching staff in fine
order, as their recent series with the
Cubs testified, Babe Herman clouting

Braves 1914 RUSH
RECALLED BY FEAT
Sensational Showing Gives
st. Louis Fans Hope of
Seeing Big Series.
By tn. Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ r. LOUIS. September 49,
Thanks to a laundering
drive down the stretch that
has netted SO victories in As
games since August /, the, St.,
Louis Cardinals tonight were in,
first place in the National League
pennant race, although only by a
margin of one point.
The similar terrific drive of the Bos-
ton Braves that resulted in their win
ming pennant in the closing months
of the 1914 season was recalled by fans
here.
1t was only month and half ago
that the Cardinals we're down in fourth
place with a percentage mark of .495.
Brooklyn was leading the pack with an
average of SOC. while Chicago was
second and New York third. Since then
the Redbirds have improved their
average by "a percentage points
through sensational squirt, their
second this season. In May the team
rose from last to first by winning eight
cen out Of nineteen games.
Victims of two disastrous road trips
earlier in the season. the st. Louis team
apparently. has thrown OF the jinx,
winning three out of four from New
York on the present Eastern tour and
taking the first game of the series from
Boston.
Faced Every Club.
The Cardinals have faced every club
In the league since August and the only
team that has had an advantage is
Chicago, which has won four while los
ing three. Cincinnati has been the
heaviest loser to Streets team, dropping
ten straight games. Philadelphia has
Birds, Pittsburgh has bsen defeated in
the last two and Brooklyn has dropped
four of the last five games. st. Louis
has beaten New York in I'VE Of the
last eight games and Boston has lost
four and won two.
Good pitching, heavy hitting and
] smart playing by the Redbird infield
have all been instrumental in the
Cardinal drive, although steadiness Of
the hurlers probably has played the
biggest part in the teams success.
Rhem Leads Hurlers.
Flint Rhem led the pitchers with
seven victories since August I. Bur-
leight Grimes and Bill Hallahan are
next with six each, Syl johnson has
four wins, jess Haines and Jim Lindsey
II1Eec edCAl anu al M eOOWcAA OAAu &ACA :
man Bell one each.
In the last 43 games Cardinal slug
gers have scored 285 runs, while their
| opponents have registered 1911. Chic
! Hafey's bat has been factor In the
teams run making.
Streets men, harried by injuries
since the start of the year, are at their
| full strength on q road trip for the
| FIRST time this season, except that
Catcher Jim Wilson Is out of the game
temporarily because of an injured ankle.
Despite the rise Of the Cardinals, St.
Louis fans are not banking strongly on
world series here. Only dozen or
so requests for world series tickets are
received at Cardinal headquarters
daily, and in these cases the checks are
returned. Presumably the fans are
waiting until after the Brooklyn series
| to make their reservations.

TIME survivors of field of nearly
1000 horseshoe pitchers in the

Seats will be available for spectators.

picture many horseshoe fans are anx-
ious to see the twirler responsible for
the fall of the 1929 shoe king. Baylor
is a master horseshoe pitcher and 1t
is a question what West or any other
tosser can do with him in a series.
Many who saw Baylor in action last
year doubt Vests supremacy over the

so to 4s, in the second round of the
Willow Tree divisional play. Not only
did West defeat Baylor. but he downed

~HICAGO, September 13.-Only
one of the few players pur-
~ chased by the Nationals this
season and still serving in the
minors is likely to come up late this
month for possible use in the big show.
according to Manager Walter Johnson.
He is Treadway, the UNDERGRADUATES
bought not so long ago from the Chat
tanooga club, Washington's farm.
johnson thought well of Treadway
when he saw the player in action
aainst the Nationals in Spring exhibit
tions and wants another look at him
before the season ends. So far as the
others are concerned, even those out
upder option, johnson is not bothered.
He says next Spring when the Nationals
assemble at Biloxi for training will be
early enough to scan the new talent.
A ARRANGEMENTS for the Havana
"A exhibition series In which many OF
the Nationals will participate have
about been completed. The players are
to assemble at Washington for depart

Havana four days later. Tussling with
q team Of Cuban stars including Luque
and Lopez, the island battery Of the
Dodgers, will begin October IL. The
series will continue three weeks with
four games being played each week.
The players making the trip are
guaranteed expenses travelling to and
from the island and during their stay
in Havana They also are to be paid
from the dozen games in which they
will participate.
Baidemero Acosta, former Washing
ton player, says he will have a clever
ball club to send against the big
leaguers. Several Cubans in addition
to Luque and Lopez now in professional
base ball in this country will be OH
Acosta's club and these will be aided
by the best playing talent of the is

~ EMINDFUL of the days gone by,
- when his dad, the greatest
pitcher ever to hurl base ball,
lost so many heartbreaking
games, Walter johnson, jr., pitching
for the Bethesda Warriors against the
Acme Printers in the Grifith Stadium,
was defeated to /, despite the fact
that he allowed the Capital City League
champs only four hits.
Young Walters efforts were even
more noteworthy considering that he
has done little If any pitching this year
since becoming the victim of an unfor-
tunate automobile accident this Spring,
in which both legs we're fractured.
His teammates. like those of the old
washington Nationals, when they were
chronic tail-enders, were unable TO do
anything in the way of hitting, getting
only two hits.
The Bethesda Warriors, Walter, jr.'s,
own team, hoped of to an early lead
in the third frame, but the Acnaes came
back In their half to knot the count.
In the sixth inning, with two runners
on base through passes, the Printers
worked a. double steal and both runners
counted on q double, which won the
game.

DETROIT, September 13.-Winning
both ends of today's double header, the
Tigers made 1t three straight over the
New York Yankees. Detroit took the
first game, IL to 10, scoring 5 runs in
the ninth inning to win a nip-and-tuck
Suggest. The second game went six
innings to a 9-to-4 decision, being
called in the last half of the sixth
because of darkness.
The opening game was q smuggling
affair, in which 80 hits by the two
teams went for Sc bases. The Tigers
held q 6-run lead for i've innings, then
the Yanks went ahead with 4 runs in
the sixth and as many more in the
eighth, only TO lose their margin to
Detroit's. ninth-inning rally. A wild
pitch by Sherid sent Hughes home with
the winning score.
The Tigers got to Pipgras for hits
and 3 runs in the first inning of the
second contest and touched him for
IL hits. The Yanks took a brief lead
in the third, but lost it as McManus
hit home run, and never again
threatened.
