GABBY 81 A N 8
HOME RUNS

Charley Grimm, manager Of
the Cubs, who claims to be some
thing of an amateur magician,
has pulled a genuine home run
hitter out of the hat as a rival
attraction to Ruth, Gehrig and
Co. in the world series.
The slugger is none other than
Gabby Hartnett, the teams mega
phone man. The comical catcher
used to bag a lot of homerS a
few years ago, and on Chicago'S
current Eastern trip he has
broken out into a veritable rash
Of circuit clouts, collecting five
of them in the last eight days.
Hartnett's homer started the
Cubs on the road to a to 2
win over the Phillies yesterday.
Cuyler's single in the eighth drove
in the winning marker.
But Thinning, the young relief
boXman who has been pitching
good ball for the Cubs, turned in
a nice performance yesterday.
The Bruins increased their lead
over the idle Pirates to six games
and now need only five more vic
tories to clinch the National
League flag.
Lefty Grove tied two Yankee
pitchers for the lead in both de-
partments in hurting the Ath-
letics to a 3-to-2 decision over
Bump Hadley of the st. Louis
Browns. The machine-like noun
tsineer hung up his twenty
fourth victory, tying Vernon Co
mez. and aIro tied Charley Ruff
fling in the race for strikeout
honors.
Jimmy Foxx went hitless. Dale
Alexander, his rival for the
league batting title, also failed
to get a safe blow although the
Red SoX drubbed Cleveland, 6 to
2, behind the pitching of POISON
Ivy" Andrews, former Yankee.
The veteran Wiley Moore and
Danny MacFayden held the
White Sox to a total of five
hits, the Yankees winning, 4 to /.

ANGLERS CATCH
57-LB. DRUM

"Pop" Davis and Claude Haz-
zard staged an epic battle with
a 57-pound drum fish six miles
out of Chesapeake Beach last
week. The giant finster put up
a tremendous fight for an hour
and a half before succumbing.
Captain Noah Hazard is
pleasantly surprised by the large
number of people, men, women
and children, who have taken to
fishing this season. Scores are
availing themselves of the Sea-
side pier every day, and his
boats are always crowded.
The captain again warns ang-
lers to get the best fishing equip
ment to catch blues. He has
heard repeated complaints of
blues biting through lines and
breaking hooks.
Charley Edwards, Julius Rosen-
field, Pat and Buck Murphy got
every imaginable kind of fish ex-
cept rockfiSh at Point Lookout,
Sunday. They nabbed 40 trout,
7 blues and a collection of
founders, Norfolk spots, hard
heads, a baby shark and several
black bass.

AL Schacht was heard to tell
the boys that third place had bet
ter be decidedly gained before too
much talk was voiced about Sec
ond place and it's possibilities
And after all is said and done,
AIS views were not so far off at
that. as the GriffS face the neceS-
sity of grabbing third place all
for themselves before thinking too
much about that coveted runners
up position.
Many Possibilities
In this series the Griffs can
do two things if only a little
fortune will smile their way,
First, they can put third place
far beyond the reach of the
Indians by taking a couple of
games. Second they can either
keep pace with the AS for second
place or gain one or two notches
on Connie Mack's incorporating
the White Sox crash through
with at least one triumph IN the
series of three games scheduled
at Chicago.
Lastly, the Griffs can win an
other seasons series by scoring
in at least two games against
the Indians. They enter this set
ahead of the Tribe ten to nine
in 10 games played. A single
fray is on tap today while a
doubleheader is scheduled for to-
morrow.
The Griffs gained a full game
on the Indians by trimming the
Detroit Tigers yesterday at De
troit while the Boston Red Sox
were handing Manager Peckln-
paugh's men a thorough Jrounc-
ing.
It was General Alvin CroWder
who got the Griffs into the win
ming column once again after
they had lost three straight
Crowder, although hit pretty hard
by the Tigers in the late innings
had enough in reserve to keep
them at bay and as result won
his twenty-third victory of the
season.
Hold Early Lead
The Griffs, for the first time
in the series, we're able to hold
an early lead until the final out
in the ninth. They scored four
run in the first inning off
pitcher Bob Marrow while they
increased their margin during
the later frames off Elon
Hogsett, Cherokee Indian, who
had little to mystify Manager
Johnson'S boys.

Their rivalry began back in

SO there have been some lapses in
their schedule. An odd feature is
that the Eastern Shoremen have

University of Maryland, but never
met them during the four years

CATFISH

John Wheatley landed an 81
pound catfish in the White River,
three miles north of Petersburg,
Ind, using a three-pound German
carp for bait. For fish line Wheat
ley use a clothes line. He put a
pound sinker on the line, and
after batting it with the carp,

When Wheatley investigated
his catch he found the big cat

CHECKED AS
SLUGGERS
eyAn%;@

NEW YORK, Sept. III read
an article the other day about
world series pitchers and their
prospects, and the writer put
stress on his opinion that Lefty
Gomez probably would not give
the Cubs much trouble in the
coming series. He pointed out
that Gomez is left handler and
that most all of the Cub regulars
are right hand hitters except
Charley Grimm, the new man
ager.
don't agree with this theory.
/ will string along with the writer
to the extent of agreeing that a
left hand pitcher is usually more
effective against left hand hitters
than he is likely to be against
those who hit from the third base
side of the plate. But that does
not necessarily means that a team
of right hand hitterS will murder
any Southpaw. A good left hand
pitcher can fool right hand hit
ters, just as a good right handler
can fool a team made up to a
heavy extent of left hand hitterS.
SOuthpaws Lead Off
Take the case of Gomez and
the AS this year. The top Of
the Philadelphia batting order
runs strongly to left hand hitters
with Bishop. Haas or Cramer
and Cochrane coming up in that
order. But from there down it
runs very strongly to right hand
ers. A pitcher gets Simmons,
Foxx, McNair. Miller and Dykes
in row and all of them are
right hand swingers. Naturally
q southpaw would fare poorly
against such a team if it we're
true that left hand pitching
cannot prevail against batters OF
the opposite type.
All right. What has happened
this year in regard to Gomez?
He has started seven ball games
against Mack's team and he fin
ished six Of them, being taken
out Of the other one in the ninth
inning at a time when he had q
six-run lead. He won all seven
of these games, and the only de-
feat the AS have been able to
tag on Lefty this year came in
a game in which he pitched to
only two batters.
He was called upon in the
ninth inning with a runner o.
base and the Yankees leading, by
q run. He got his first man all
right but the next batter hit
over the fence and the run which
he carried around the bases won
the ball game. So Lefty was
charged with the defeat.
Lefty Scores Homer
That is the story of left-hand
pitchers effectiveness against a
team which runs so heavily to
right-hand hitter And the odd
part of the story is that the
home run which gave the AS
their only victory over Gomez
all year was made by left
hand hitter, George Haas. So it
can be seen that Gomez was
quite effective against such not
able right-hand clubbers as jim
my Fox and Al Simmons, or he
could not point to seven vic
tories in as many starts, against
one defeat while doing relief
work.
That is why I do not sub
scribe to the idea that Gomez
will be easy for the Cubs. AS
thes- lines are written Chicago
is far enough in front to make
me regard the Cubs as pennant
winners. I agree that left
hand pitcher would ordinarily be
more effective against the Pi-
rates, the other National League
team with a pennant chance
though a slight one-but it is
not logical to say that a left
handler can't beat the Cubs.

Capitol Commissioners
BQttled Over Architect

many thousands Of dollars were vast
ed in following incongruous and UNI
slightly plans for enlarging the build
ing.
Bids were called for the corstruc-
ton of the capitol and on Aug. II,
1883, the contract was let to Charles
w. Thompson & Co. Of Bismarck.
Brick Presented Problem
Serious question arose as to the
brick which should be used in the
building, and especially for its facing.
There were one or two small brick
yards near Bismarck. but their capac-
ity was limited and they did not man
ufacture pressed brick.
A resident Of Bismarck, named
Thompson. had just started brick
yard at Sims. It was only few yards
south of the railroad tracks and q
remarkable condition existed. He had
within the space of q few hundred
feet, brick. clay, coal for burning the
brick, sand to mix with the clay. and
water for all purposes. He had put
in machinery for making pressed and
other brick and sought to sell the
commission the brick which should
be used in the erection Of the build
ing. Some Of the commission were
very enthusiastic on the subject and
thought that wonderful things would
result.
Accordingly, We were furnished
special train and visited Sims and in
spected the site and plant. We found
everything there that had been men,
toned and reports were made by ex-
perts to the effect that the clay would
make superior quality Of brick. Ac-
cordingly, most of the brick, irclud-
ing the facing Of the part of the
building then constructed. was fur
nished by the Sims brick yard. But,
alas, for human aspirations and
hopes! 1t developed that the clay
contained minute particles of lime and
the brick made from it had not long
been exposed to the weather before
small spots crumbled, leaving the
surface of the building quite insight
ly. and seriously affecting the struc-
ture.

MAHATMA STUDIES
COMPROMISE PLAN
DRAWNBY FRIENDS
Belief Is Expressed That Cand-
his Hunger Strike Will
End Soon

Poona, Sept. 2l-(F)-A group of In
dian political leaders from Bombay
visited Mahatma Gandhi in his cell
at Yeroda Jail Wednesday and sub
mitted to him plan for comprom-
Use on the communal elections Ques-
ton they hoped would end the hung
er strike he began Tuesday.
They spent two hours closeted with
the Mahatma and when they left, al
though no formal statement was
made. the belief was expressed Gand-
his fast would be ended before many
days.
The committee included his son.
Devidas, Sir Tel Bahadur Sapru and
M. Jayakar. The Mahatma was up
early and showed little effect from
his abstinence, which began at noon
Tuesday.
The plan presented to him embraced
a suggestion for joint elections, with
proper safeguards for the Untouch-
ables, in whose interest he began the
death fast.
His fast is in protest against the

Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald.
Gandhi contends this plan would con-
tinue the great gulf which separates
the Untouchables from the other conf
munitieS in Indian life.
AS he began the fast which he ex-
poets to end in death from starvation
unless q solution is reached. the Ma
hatma smilingly announced he had
been appointed superintendent of the
bakery in the prison.
But he became i'll from the press Of
friends who called to see him at the
prison as soon as the government
lifted the ban which has barred visit
tors from the Jail since he was i'm
prisoned last January. On the adj
vice of his physicians he turned away
many callers.
After a few days. he said, he ex-
pected the desire for food to vanish
and he then expected to prolong his
life as much as possible by drinking
water.
