Leagues weekly pitching averages is proof that Pipgras is having one of his best seasons on the mound since he became a regular starting pitcher for the Yankees in 1927. He had a poor year in 1881, bat it was due almost entirely to an ap- pendicitis operation that kept him out of the game early in the cam paign.
 From 1921 to mid-season of 1927 Pipgras was a batsman's most dan- gerous enemy, a speed ball pitcher without a sem blance of control. In those years he was chased, or drawn out of the Dakota League to the American League, to the South Atlantic, to the American again. to the Southern to the America As sociation. While at St Paul in 1926 he learned to control for the first time.
 A succession of doube-headers which left the Yankee mound staff limp and exhausted in August of 1927 gave Pipgras his first starting assignment. He surprised every body, including the late Miller Huggins, Yankee manager with control of his assortment Of fast balls, knuckle balls, curves and "sailers". He went on to win 10 games after the middle of August.
 Pipgras belongs to that select circle of pitchers never defeated in a world series contest. His record is IS innings pitched, two kames won. He defeated the Pirates in the 1927 world series and the Car dinals in 1928. both victories and the Cardinals in 1928, both victor ies coming as the second of four straight tekan by the Yankees.

JOE MOBILE WINS
 FEATURE BOUT ON
 NEW HAVEN CARD
Local Southpaw Gains Thrilling Decision Over Joe Waynis-Fans Boo Verdict and Timer Nar- rowly Escapes Injury

New Haven, Sept Tone of the largest amateur boxing shows ever staged in this city was witnessed last evening at the White City stadium when Matchmaker Dick Gray put on his weekly program of simon-pures, when 15 matches were witnessed by crowd of close to seven thousand enthusiastic spectators. The show was a good one all the way, and was climaxed by two thrilling battles which had been advertised as the main events of the program.
 The highlight of the evening came in the fourteenth bout, when Referee McAuliffe gave the decision to Joe Mobile of Waterbury, after three hectic rounds with Joe Way his, of Windsor Locks. Both boys are southpaws and the manner in which they tore after each other from the start of the out spelled trouble for someone. Mobile fought like a tiger in the first two rounds and won both stanZas by hond- some margin. In the fhird, however, he found that he had fought him. self out and the best he could do as Waynis started a sensational offensive in a desperate rally was to hold on most of the time.
 When the final bell was sounded Mobile was given the decision, and he earned it, but the rabtd fans couldn't see it that way and booed, yelled and threw everything they could lay their hands on into the ring. Timekeeper Sam Abeshouse narrowly escaped serious injury when a stone broke his glasses and slightly injured his left eye. He might easily have lost an optic, through the foolishness of one fan. However, these incidents go to show how high the excitement ran in this match. Matchmaker Dick Gray would do well to put that mathc in

CUBS AND PIRATES
 PLAY IMPORTANT TWIN BILLS TO-DAY

New York. Sept 7-UP)-A pair of double headers to-day may have an important bearing on the outcome of the National league pennant race.
 first place lead of six games, op- posed the Braves in twin bill at Boston, and the second place Pitts burg Pirates were meeting the Dodgers in double session at Brooklyn.
 Gain Means Something
 Chicago has 22 more games to play, and Pittsburg has only 20. Consequently gain or two full games at this late stage of the race would be highly important for either team.
 Although the Cubs lead by six games and have two more contests to play than Pittsburg, if the lat ter should cut Chicago's lead down to four games, it would tighten the race considerably and probably would cut the Cubs confidence. Meanwhile the Pirates would be stimulated.
 If Chicago gains two games to- day they would need to win only II of their remaining 20 games to tie Pittsburg if the Pirates won all of their remaining IS.
 Indians Take Two
 As yesterday was travelling day the only competition in the major leagues was double header be- tween Cleveland and the St Louis Browns. The Indians took both ends, 4 to 3, and to o, to make a clean sweep of their four game series.
 Earl Averill, Cleveland's center fielder, drove out his 31st home run of the season in the nightcap. A three run rally in the sixth inning gave Cleveland the opening con- test after Jack Russell had kept the Browns 10 hits well scattered In the nightcap, George Connally limited the Browns to eight hits for aShutOut
