W yITH only a perfunctory
\N/ piece of base ball busi-
Y Y ness to be transacted to-
morrow afternoon at
Griffith Stadium with Connie
Mack's now jubiliant second-place
club, your Uncle Clark's grand
Nationals will tuck away the glory
and the shinplasters which come
with third place, and roll home
ward to think of things that might
have been.
For instance, those Griflets
should have had second place, and
those 400 extra iron men which
would have come with it. Don't
ask me why they are not in Sec
ond place, want a reason for why
they are not in first place, instead
OF the Yanks.
But II you were to insist, 1 might
get Uncle Clark on my neck by tell
ing you that the whole outfit lacked
aggressiveness. Any ball club that
cannot climb up to the top perch
with five sterling stars and q great
defensive game, in an of year for
good playing, is timid outfit, or one
that lacks a punch.

Captain and Third Baseman. Chicago Cub
CHICAGO, September 24.-I firm
ly believe the Cubs will beat the
Yankees in the world series, chiefly
through teamwork and spirit. These
qualities played a major part in win
ming the National League title for
us. They should gain us the world
championship.
No one not closely connected with
the Cubs can appreciate the team
work characterizing the f1ag-winning
play of our club this year Through
it We became suddenly definite,
drying force that could not be
stopped short of a pennant.
A college foot ball team never
played with more dash and vigor,
and with such evident enjoyment, as
the Cubs in the last two months.
A light-hitting team, dependent
almost entirely on strong pitching
to keep us in the pennant race at

Timidity Topples Nationals
More Polished Than Aggressive Club Dotted With Stars Is
Unable to Make Deserved Headway in Race.
BY TOM DOERER-

Your Uncle needs not only hitting at
the top, but some at the bottom of his
batting order next year. And he needs
less timidity and pacifism in his general
attack. What Uncle needs to do. too,
is to pat a few of his stars between the
shoulder blades next Spring: and tell
them that they are the best in the busi-
ness. They need inspiration.
For instance, among the pleasant
things Uncle can ponder over next
Winter are these:
A first-place club that lacked the in
spiration to get out of third place.
Gen. Al Crowder's triumphant march
through the early season, and his pull
ing up today with 25 victories against
l8 of last year
Monte Weavers accumulation Of %
victories to make him the most priced
rookie hurler in base ball for the year.
Joe Cronin's superb defensive work
the greatest shortstop of the season;
Heine Manush's late hitting splurge
which carried him into the list Of the
five leading hitters of his league; Dave
Harris great pinch hitting, Sam Vests
and Ossie Bluege's defensive work, and
a decided improvement in hitting on

If there Is something else which is
causing the team, or individuals on the
club, to lack consistency in playing,
Uncle ought to look up the reason.
But I'm surprised at the gossip
ighich nonlindtes Walter Johnson
as the reason. Johnson, to my 1Day
of figuring, is a loyal, honest base
ball 1rorkmdn, ,Ulio is trying to get
the best out of the players for not
only the clubs benefit, but for the
players themselves.
He has his faults. But who hasn't?
And there's no use throwing a cloak
over this feeling that johnson is to
blame Out-of-town newspapers have
been printing pro and con stories upon
the matter for a long while, it is gos-
siped in the speaks, the cigar stores and
down at the corner grocery.
Ill suggest that Uncle bring the
matter out in the open and give it a
good airing. I think Walter deserves
it.
He may answer all Of that within
a few days by announcing that the
signature of Walter johnson has been
written across 1888 contract.

Red Sox-CardinaIs Take

BY GAYLE TALBOT,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
TOUR straight pennants proved too
~ big an assignment for the Phila-
delphia Athletics, but Connie
Mack's great team has done
the next best thing by mailing down
second place in the American League.
Needing only one victory over Wash
ington to clinch the almost" honors,
the AS went out and got it yesterday
by pounding three Of the Nationals
pitchers.
The champion Yankees, meantime,
uncovered world series pitching pros
pect in Walter Brown, the big right
handler, who scored his third straight
victory, shutting cut the Boston Red
SoX, to 0, with seven hits.
With Gomez and Rufhng looking far
from right" at this crucial stage, Man
ager Joe Mccarthy probably gained no
little comfort from Browns latest per-
formance. On the other hand, Babe
Ruth, the famous convalescent, failed
to get anything resembling hit in
three attempts, and that is bad.
The Detroit Tigers worked st. Louis
over twice, to 2 and II to 0, Earl
Whitehill letting the Browns down with
three hits in the nightcap. Cleveland
won a weird contest from the Chicago
White SoX. 13 to 6. Five pitchers
worked for the Sox, including Manager
Lou Fonseca. He did better than his
regular hurlers at that, allowing not a
hit in the one inning he was on the hill.
Paul Waner, slugging Pittsburgh out
fielder, set new National League
record by punching his sixteth and
sixty-firSt doubles as the Pirates lost
to st. Louis, 8 to 4. in the only National
League engagement The former record
of SO two-baggers belonged to Chuck
Klein of the Phillies.

records have fallen, two marks
for both major circuits are in danger
and one of the batting races for an in
dividual crown remains in grave doubt.
The Philadelphia Athletics, led by
Jimmie Foxx, have clouted ITO home
runs SO far, passing the American
League mark Of l58 set by the New
York Yankees a few years ago and just
one short of the Chicago Cubs ma jor
league mark. Foxx raised his total to
Sc homers, just four short Of Babe
Ruths major league mark.
Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates
smashed National League mark by
clouting 81 doubles, two over the record
set by Chuck Klein Of the Phillies two
years ago.
THE steady hitting Of Dale Alexander
i of the Boston Red Sox gave him
one-point advantage over Foxx

League championship. His average up
