Cooley Is Lovelorn

"Goofey" Vernon Gomez, left
handed Yankee pitcher, has
made one record before the
series starts. He is the only
lovelorn known so far in this
series. He has fallen for Miss
June O'Day, c Broadway musi-
cal comedy star, and the ex-
perts don't know exactly how to
figure her in this series. And
she figures. Just what part
June can play in a September.

seen.
George Pipgras, Cy Moore

Yank pitchers having world
series experience. Bush, Root

FOUR STRAIGHT
FOR YANKEES,
SAYS GOMEZ
BY VERNON (LEFTY) GOMEZ

BY VERNON (LEFTY) GOMEZ
SOuthpaw of the New York Yankees
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Today's
the day we go and get our bear
meat.
The Yankees in four straight is
my guess, but courtesy demands
that we give the visiting firemen
a fighting chance, and so we'll
let them win one game in the
series.
Marse Joe Mccarthy Il call
him Mr.. Mccarthy to his face, is
going to start Ruffing. Charley
Grimm, and what call him under
my breath would never interest
you, will start Guy Bush.
Ruffing Can Hit, Too
If that doesn't give us the edge,
what does? Not only have we
one of the great right-handers
pitching for us, but we have a
300 hitter and a run producer hit
ting in the ninth notch. Ruffing
is about the best right-handed
pinch-hitter on the club. He
powers a ball through the infield,
and there isn't a fence in the
league that is safe from his swing.
This is campaign year. a year
Of slogans, and our slogan today
is Win with Ruffing."
No matter how Mccarthy wants
me to work, I'm ready for action.
This is the chance that lot of
bali players wait a long time to
see.
The Cubs pitching as I see it
will be Bush today, Warneke to-
morrow, and then Root with
Grimes strong possibility. Don't
count out Grimes. He is a very
vital factor in world series dope.
He is a whale of a pitcher.
Yanks Have Power
How are the Yankees going to
win? Power, gentlemen. The
same power that blasted them
through to the championship of
the American League. The edge
of the Cubs may be around Sec
ond base, but what good is de-
fense going to do when the
Yankees start blasting down the
fences.
The Yankees have won IS
games out of IT on Yankee Sta
dium this year. That comes close
to being world record. They
played a complete season of 156
games without being shut out.
That in itself is a record, and
added to that are SIS games from
the 1881 season, bringing the
total to 211 games without being
shut out. That represents power.

CENTRAL BEATS
ST. JOHN s, 7-6

Having been outplayed by a
scrappy st. Johns prep eleven
during the greater part of the
first quarter, Coach Burt CogginS
was forced to send in his first
string Central High array yester-
day in order to defeat st. Johns,
7 to 6 in an interesting football
game at Central Stadium.
The Johnnies had a touchdown
before five minutes of the game
was underway when a 20-yard
pass from Mccarthy to Cullinane
resulted in a score. All this play
ing was against the Central Sec
ond StringerS.
At this stage, Coach Coggins
sent in his regulars, and it took
them two whole quarters before
they could turn the tide of vic
tory CentraIs way. They did and
proceeded to outplay st. Johns,

to the 1-yard line from where

Gotham Takes
Series With
Big yawn
By FRANKE &. MENKE

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Rair
or shine the Yankee management
continues to advertise that choice
world series pasteboards still car
be had in the stadium that could
seat about $4,000, but the wild
wish to see the home-townerS
tangle with the Cubs is nowhere
manifest.
Gotham is taking the classic
with a yawn. But Guy Bush
isn't taking it that way, especi
ally with weather conditions as
they are.
Mr.. Bush, it may be explained
is a pitcher for the Cubs and
has been slated to perform in
the inaugural.
Marse Joe Mccarthy, pilot of
the Yankees, is not yet decided
on who'll sling for his side
weather permitting.
Maybe it'll be Ruffing" he
quOths. eff it is not Ruffing it
will be somebody else. 1 have
plenty of somebody eISe'S on
this ball club. And my boys
who tote around bats tell me
they don't care whether Bush
and his whole family, or
Grimes and his whole family,
or any other Cub mOundsman
and his whole family toss
hOrSehides at them. They have
their minds made up to knock
fences into Splinters and rip
huge holes in the grandstands
and bleacherS and they can't
recall the name of anybody
from Chicago who can change
their mental attitude, amen"
Cholly Grimm, who manages
the Cubs, spent busy morning.
He was cranking up his famous

and today and that is why 1
am now getting the banjo
ready for little banging
around tOnight-that is, if it
doesn't rain. If so, then it
will be Okay for tomorrow night

it stays tuned for several days

Brush Builds Well

The modern world series was
the idea of the late John T.
Brush, chairman of the ma
tional commission. The first
world series in 1903 was not
played under the Brush rules,
but starting in 1905 his origin
al plan was adopted and has
been adhered to ever since.
Baseball men say Brush build
ed better than he knew. as his
world series idea has been
deviated from but little since
he. gave the thought to base
ball. There was no world series
in 1904.
The Philadelphia Athletics
with Connie Mack always their
manager have been in more
world series than any Ameri-
can League club. They have
won five world championships
and been on the short end Of
the series three times.
The New York Giants, of the
National League, have COM
peted in more world series than
any team in either league, hav-
ing won six and lost three an
nual ball classics.
The now deSpised Boston
Red Sox are runners-up to the
Mackmen in world series COM
petition, having been in the
series five times and won the
world title every time.
The Washington times., 1932-09-28
Yankees Break Even

The Yankee record in world
series participation up to now
is three wins and three losses.
They are expecting to make
their victories in the series
four, starting today. We shall
see about that by about next
week at this time.
These Chicago Cubs, who are
facing the Yankees in the tap
off today are starting their
seventh world series, having won
two and lost four previously
It is the consensus of experts
they are on the verge of losing
their fifth. We shall also see
about that by about next week
at this time.
Those Chicago White Sox
have won two series and lost
one. Cleveland Indians have
won one and lost none. Wash
ington has won one and lost
one.
The Detroit Tigers have been
in three series and lost all
three, and the st. Louis Browns
have never taken part in a
world series.
Pittsburgh has broken even
in four world series starts, and
that goes for the st. Louis
Cardinals. The Boston Braves
and Cincinnati have won one
series each and lost none.
Brooklyn dropped its only two
series starts and the Phillies
dropped their one.
But we've got a new series
starting here today!
The Washington times., 1932-09-28

Why do l figure the Yankees
will win the world series?
Mainly on their superior hitting
and run scoring power, as shown
through the season which ended
few days ago. The American
League champions batted .290
during the season, as compared
with .278 for the Cubs, they
scored 989 runs against the Cubs
tbs, and they lead the National
Leaguers in triples and home
runs by a wide margin while
trailing the Chicagoans in doubles.
DefenSively see no advantage
for either team. Each has its
speed boys and its slowing vet
Grams. In one position one team
has the more capable performer,
and in another the conditions are
reversed. Take the infield, the
outfield and the catching as one
department of defense and in
each instance it shapes up as OF
championship standard.
Pitching Question
This brings us to the pitching
and the question is:
Can the Chicago pitching bring
down the stronger hitting and
scoring power of the Yankees to
such an extent that the Cubs
stickwork against the New York
pitching will prevail?
I don't think so. The Yankees
in their own league have seen
plenty of high class pitching this
season, as served by Lefty Grove,
Wesley Ferrell. Ted Lyons, Alvin
CroWder, Monte Weaver, George
EarnShaw, Rube Walberg and
others who have been quite sue
ceSSful in our league. We have
done very we'll against these top
notcherS. Over a stretch of seven
games I do not figure that our
hitting can be kept in such check
as to make us lose four.
Here's another thing. The
Yankees have had the winning
habit all season. Not once did
they lose four games in row.
4IlCy 4OoG OIlly GWO ScIlSS az
home all year, Washington and
Cleveland gaining the honors
with two victories in three-game
series.
Lost One Series in West
The Yankees lost one series in
the West all year, Cleveland taking
three games of four. Twice at
Washington they lost three-game
series, which means that only
five times from April IL to Sep
tember 25 were they outplayed
in a series lasting three games
or more. That's quite a record
for consistent winning.
I think the Cub pitching is as
good as the Yankees against any

CLENNA BEAT 8
MRS. EDD|S
I AND 5
BY GENE LORICK

WEST PEABODY, Mass, Sept
28.-Mrs. Glenna Collett Ware, OF
Philadelphia, trying to repeat ir
1882 her victory of 10 years ago
when she won the national title
and which she duplicated -four
times after that, swept today into
the quarter-final round of match
play for the women's national
championship.
Unable to straighten out her
shots, Mrs. C. S. Eddis, of To.
ronto, runner-up last week in the
Canadian Women'S championship
lost hole after hole until the
match ended on the thirteenth
green with a score of up and 5
to play.
Unmindful of the soggy fair
ways and slow green's, the former
national queen reeled off four sue
cessiVe As, the one on the first
being birdie. A six adorned her
card on the fifth hole, a par 5,
when she failed to drop her second
putt. At the seventh hole Mrs.
Ware was 2 up on Mrs. Eddis, who,
although shooting sound golf, was
unable to match the strokes in
Mrs. Vare's bag.
Battle on Even Terms
Maureen Orcutt, of Harworth,
N. j., co-medalist, fought on even
terms with Mrs. Leo Federman,
OF Great Neck, L. l., being squared
on the seventh hole. After Miss
Orcutt had won the first two,
but lost the third and seventh.
Miss Jane Armstrong, of Win
netka, ILL.,, who caught a cold in
yesterdays rain, was off her
game and as result she dropped
four holes out of seven to Miss
Ada Mackenzie, of Toronto, for
mer Canadian champion.
Two fiveS on the opening holes
gave Miss Peggy Wattles, of
Buffalo, a 2 up advantage over
Mrs. c. F. Eaton, jr., of Welles-
ley, Mass, at the end of four
holes.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Federman
reached the turn in AZ, by shoot
ing a par 4 on the water hole
ninth, while Miss Orcutt got into
difficulty and took a five. Maui
reen and her opponent had good
drives and both carried the pond
with seconds. but Mureen three
putted the green when a four
footer failed to drop.
Miss Mackenzie, reaching the
turn in 80, was still four up on
the Illinois girl.
Glenna at the turn was 40
strokes, two over par, but that
was sufficient to give her a four
hole advantage over Mrs. Eddis,
who was As.
Miss Van VIE missed a three
tott putt on the ninth hole to
half it in fat 6's and reached the
turn in Al strokes, l up on Miss
Quier.
Enid Wilson continued her win
ming surge, winning the next two
out of three holes to become 4 I'D
on Miss English at the seventh
hole.

Cubs andyanks
Test Their
Batteries
BY NICK ALTROCK

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Well
folks, the Yanks and Cubs have
got their world series all primed
and creased and oiled, and today
they will have their batteries
tested. In preparation for the
fall classic I have been hanging
around a Firty-third Street filling
station the last two days and
am pretty we'll primed myself
For two more Thomas Collinses
I would go in and pitch for Joe
Mccarthy Single-handed.
The experts have been picking
their choices out of a derby hat
and the plurality of opinion
seems to be that Guy Bush will
face Lefty Gomez for the opener
That is perfectly all right with
me. I don't care what pitchers
start the game so long as I am
right up front at the clubs free
pie counter for experts at the
finish of the game. In the last
IL years of world series, I have
always been in the first division
of the mess line.
President Hoover won't attend
any series game this year, I un-
derstand. That's what I call con-
fidence. The way those straw
ballots are going, this may be the
last time Mr.. Hoover has a chance
to get into a world series on a
pass and still he sticks back in
Washington and figures he can
show up at the gate in 1888. He
amt even sending up a cabinet
member to point out RooSevelt'S S
weakness in being way out West
when an important series is 60
ing on in the Governors home
State.
Two Heads, One Tongue
But the radio moguls figured
that two heads are better than
one tongue at microphone and
now, no matter what happens,
Graham and Husing can't hope
to be more than so per cent
wrong.
The players are still dazed at
the size the gate receipts can
amount to. The prospects are so
elegant most of the boys are
counting on wearing fur coats for
vests this winter.
The magnates have also been
taking light tapping practice on
their adding machines and they've
computed a seven-game series will
be even a better thing than
Moose charity ball.
