SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Sept. s. U.P)-That
shame faced gentleman you saw
hurrying toward the river this
morning was the critic who earlier
this season predicted Lefty Grove
would suffer bad slump before the
season ended.
This critic, if we are not mistaken,
said that Grove undoubtedly would
sweep all before him during May,
June and July, but that the fur
mace heat of July and August would
slow the great southpaw of the
Athletics down TO a normal pace.
Here It's September No. and
! Grove still is travelling after the
manner of a house afire. The
left-handed one won his 9th VIC
tory of the season yesterday, and in
doing so allowed the Boston Red
SoX but three hits.
Groves triumph of yesterday all
but assured him of 80 victories this
year. The Athletics have IS more
games to play and Lefty is certain
to work four times and probably
will take the mound six times.
When Grove reaches the 80 mark
he will be the first pitcher to turn
the trick since Sergeant Jim Bagby
| buzzed EN- down the line for the
Cleveland Indians in 1920
This talk about Grove being over
worked sounds good. but it's not
quite true. We haven't taken the
time to make a thorough study of
the records, but We'll bet you 10 to
one that Lefty has averaged four
! days of rest between each of his APP
pearances. Just how many games
| the man would have won by now
! had he been allowed to work all he
wanted to, never will be known.
Grove, like Burleigh Grimes of
the st. Louis Cardinals, believes in
work. 1t is Grimes belief that
more pitchers have rusted out than
have been worn out by overWork.
Dazzy Vance, of course, will tell you
Burleigh is crazy. Vance advocates
a European trip between each
workout.
