DOZEN BASEBALL
 RECORDS EVENED IN MAJOR LEAGUES

New York, Oct 3-CUP)-An even dozen records were bettered or tied during the major league season just finished, according to statistics released today. Nine of these occurred in the American league, against three in the Nation al. The number of new records is considerably below that of recent years. a fact accounted for by the less lively ball. Batting averages were further hampered by the new ruling on sacrifice flies.
 GrOvc's Record Leads
 The outstanding achievement in the American league was the pitch ing record hung up by one Robert Moses Grove, of Philadelphia whose 31 victories against four losses, for a percentage of .SS6, was the biggest mark ever reached by a pitcher. Grove turned in a win- ming streak of 16 straight games tying the circuit record made in 1912 by Joe Wood and Walter Johnson.
 Lou 0ehrig. of the Yankees drove in 1 S2 runs during the sea- son. beating his own league rec ord of 175. made four years ago Gehrig also hit owed 400 for the second successive year. tying tho record of Chuck Klein of the Phillies in 1929 and 1880, and equalled a record set by Ken Will Hams. St Louis Browns, in 192: by hitting six home runs in sue. cessive games.
 Webb Hit 67 Doubles
 Earl Webb, of Boston, hit 67 two baggers. bettering by three the record held by George Burns oi Cleveland. Babe Ruth's 46 home runs, a number tied by Gehrig made him league leader for the 12th time in that department. and and brought his lifetime total oi circuit clouts up to 61l.
 The Yankees established a new league mark for runs scored. witf 1067, beating their 1880 total b. five runs. and went to bat 550s times, also record for the cir cult.
 In the National league Cincin- nati set a new record for double plays. completing 195. bettering by one their 1928 total. Lloyd Waner Pittsburg. went to bat GS1 times during the season. to beat the 1922 mark of Rabbit Maranvillo. In game played on July 12, the Car dinals and the Cubs hit 23 two baggers, surpassing by six the pre-. vious record, which had stood since July 3. 1883.

 New York, Oct 3-(UPl--lts useless to talk about football now that the world series has turned into a fourth punic war, and the boys who laid their boubloons on the Athletics ability to take four straight Cor even two straight) are busy taking aspirin. Busier, in fact than One-Eyed Connolly in penny arcade.
 For the information of paving customers, am going to Phila- delphia Monday in spite of several very disconcerting rumors that have been brought in to me by one of my most trustworthy scouts (troop C, chipmunk patrol, II merit badges).
 This operative informs me that the Brothers Shibe have bought only one new record for their tan talizing phonograph this year. It Is whispered about in round circles and across the bridge tables of the Cavendish club, mind you. that the honored party this year Is none other than Russ Columbo.
 Russ, if memory serves, is the young crooner who recently in spired a young lady of the great unseen radio audience to ascend to the following heights in fan letter:
 "Sing me song now, Russ Columbo,
 bo, jumbo"
 n fnvNina such as baseball, will be discussed presently.
 The grooming Russ, I am told, Is going to Philly Monday to thrill to his own voice as distributed over the loudspeakers of the Messers Shibe.
 You will please notice that we said "Messers" Shibe.
 My only thought in this un- sportsmanlike connection, Is that Russ better steer clear of Signor Burleigh Grimes. Else Russ will go, personally, jumbo, jumbo. It's . Question
 But to get back to hard tack and pommican. Folks are perkin I'up.

Plenty of Chatter Definite information has been obtained, however. on the follow ing: Hotels will be crowded to ca- pacity; people in hotel lobbies will talk about nothing but the next days pitchers; betting odds will either be to 1, to l, to l, ..5 to 1 or to 5; Connie Mack will be a lean. silent, taciturn man ager; Gabby Street will be the old sergeant, prodding his men into the thick of the fray; Babe Ruth will sit in the press stand and pay no attention; the weather will be either hot or cold. wet or dry, balmy or un-balmy.

SIMS AND CARTER TO MEET THURS
 ON ARENA CARD

Realizing the attraction pro- vided by a strong undercard, Pro- moter George Mulligan has sur rounded the boxing slate featur- ing George Nichols and Willie Bush next Thursday night with three wel-matched preliminaries that are certain to provide the excitement that the customers will pay to see.
 Nip and Tuck
 Due to the exceptional showing by Sal Carter of Middletown and Ernie Sims of Naugatuck against different opponents last week, the two have been paired up for a six round go next week that will un- doubtedly prove one of the stand outs of the program. Both are fast, clever and can punch hard enough to be continually interesting. It will be a case of Sims hitting ability against Carter's experi- ence.
 First Pro Bout.
 Eddie Jessup, the Torrington boy who has cut wide path of success as an amateur boxer is ready to turn professional and will make his first fight for money against Andy Strong on the Bush Nichols card. The bout will open the show for four rounds and is sure to- be productive of plenty of heavy punching. Another sizzling six rounder that looks great on paper will pit Joe Arnold. the Brooklyn boy who beat K. o. Sweeney last week against Tony Laverio, the young. hard -hitting Bristol lad who has never failed to look good. because he a is will ing mixer. An eight round semi final will be announced later.
