Any Significance?

Now the question presents it
self-what does Ruels move to
Detroit imply? Is he going
there to succeed Bucky Harris,
his friend and former boss?
There have been plenty of ru-
morS Harris is on his way out

President Frank Navin is to
keep him another season at the

Anyway, Ruels presence in
Detroit may be construed in
more than one way and the
oversigned doesn't oonstrue it
as the Importation of a catcher
who has much left to give to
the playing end of the game.
Were Ruel to wind up in the
shoes of a big league pilot, there
would be tens of thousands of

IL, all came V1VlQly pack Wnen
big Fred Marberry stalked to the
mound as a relief pitcher for
Bump Hadley in the eighth inning
with two on base, one out, and
the top of the Yank batting
order due at bat.
Big Fred put on an act just
like he used to put on in the
pennant winning days of '24 and
'25 when he stepped to Hadley's
rescue yesterday.
With his team ahead only by
the slim margin of to S, Mar
berry preceded to turn back the
Yankees in grand style while
breaths were held.
Byrd, first to face Fred, lined
hot one deep to left which
Manush grabbed after getting
set. Sewell, next batter, worked
hard for {. pass and got it, filling
the bases. \
This brought Babe Ruth up
and with a dangerous situation
any way you look at it. But
Marberry stood in the box like
the Marberry of old-studying
the situation for a moment, then
heaving toward the plate.
He threw two strikes and
three balls to the Babe after
which Babe fOuled off couple.
Finally, came the big moment.
Marberry threw and Babe con-
nected.
The ball went soaring out to-
wards right field. It was merely
looper, however, and Dave Har-
ris, rushing in like a scared rab-
bit, snatched it to end the inning
and the Yankee threat.
Getting out Of this hole made
it easy for Marberry to pitch
the ninth inning. He took Geh-
rig, Chapman and Larry in order
to finish strongly.
The Griffs, in the meanwhile,
made an uphill fight to win the
game. The Yanks got themselves

Managerial Talent

Intelligent beyond a degree
generally attributed to ball play.
ers, a practicing attorney in
the winter, gentlemanly and
firm, it is the opinion of all
who know Ruel off or on the
field that he is managerial
talent.
That he could get the best
out Of ball players is beyond a
doubt While he has never in
any way held aloof from his
fellow players, he is not what
might be called the ball player
type in his department and
conduct off the field. He's
almost a Gene Tunney in his
devotion to books and the better
things OF life, yet in his eye
can be detected the CLINT of
perseavercne and determination
and knowledge of his profession.
A ball player would have to
be told but once by Muddy
Ruel to do a thing or to cease
some practice, because Ruel is
that way. Nobody to quibble or
equivocate or to pamper or
pet either, he could get results.
All the years he served Wash
ington SO smartly, he was not
just a man who caught balls
pitched to him. Bucky Harris
sought his counsel more than
once during Washington's cham
pionship years and he was at
one time a valued member of
WaShington'S board of strategy.

MUST
BEAT AS
TODAY
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. This
being test week" the Griffmen
set themselves down to a pair of
real tasks today and tomorrow as
they battle the league leading AS
at Shibe Park.
In the meantime the Yankees,
the Griffs' most important rivals
at this time, entertain the Boston
Red SoX at Yankee Stadium the
next two days in games which
should be "eaSy meat" for them.
1t might be said the battle for
the second place berth which the
Griffs and YankS have their eyes
and ears trained upon these days
might be decided one way or the
other in view of the opposition
the two "contending" teams have
before them today and tomorrow.
YankS Have Chance
To make it a little clearer, the
Yanks have the greatest oppor-
tunity before them to snatch sec
ond place away from the Griff-
men at this time because they
are playing the Red Sox.
This conclusion is taken in
view of the trouble the GriffS
have had in defeating the AS
at Shibe Park this year. The
AS certainly know how to
hang it on Manager JOhnSon'S
men it seems, when it comes to
entertaining them in Philadel-
phia.
In fact. they apparently "have
it" on the other teams in the
league as well, as very few have
visited Quakertown this season
and left with the edge in vic
tories.
The Yanks had their troubles
last week when they were here,
as the two games they dropped
brings out. The Griffs are in
precarious position today and to-
as they match with Con-
ME Mack'S men.
A great deal of credit will be
due Manager JohnSon's men if
they win both games because of
the still uncertain condition of
the teams pitching staff.
Two Wins Would Help
Winning two will make the
Yanks work just that much
harder to overcome the lead the
Griffs now have, slim as it might
be, and with this in mind the
Griffs are actually popped up
over setting a real pace for the
remainder of the seaeSon.
Sad Sam Jones and Fred Mar
berry are to be the Griff pitch
erS for this Philadelphia series.
Jones has been nominated to
take the mound today.
Sad Sam, incidentally, is last in
line of the Griff pitchers in the
matter of wins and losses. In
other words. the veteran is ex-
periencing his worst season in
years.
Still, Manager johnson is of
the opinion that one or two more
good games are left in the old
soup bone of the 38-year-old
hurler, and hopes that today will
be one Of those days.
Jones' record for the year reads
eight wins against the same mum.
Der of losses. He has not looked
for over a month, but

formance sometime soon, Man.

He has nine regulars coming

The team figures to be rather

Orrel is particularly pleased
over his line, despite the fact
that George GingraS, his crack
