The Gable Influence

You've probably seen those Clark Gable jerseys on some of the boys around town. Of course, the fact that they were copied from the dress of French, Spanish or Portuguese sailors of years ago, probably has nothing to do with their status of present day luxury, being glorified in the name of a movie actor, whose name will probably recall part of a house a few years hence. Here's the point, though: there's new foot ball jersey out, built along the lines of Gablewear, which is said by Billy Schofield, who has seen 1t. to be something to write about. when 1t comes to giving protection to a football player. It's a com bination of jersey and leather pad ded at vital spots, with particu- lar attention being paid to the neck which can be covered so well by the new jersey that a broken ver- tebrae is almost impossible. It's a one-piece affair with zipper front and will do more than its bit in protecting players from injuries on the gridiron, Schofield thinks.

In four years he won recpgni- ton as Mickey Cochrane's suc- cessor as the Major leagues great est receiver. Not only is Dickey a great marksman, but he is hard and timely batter. He became the Yankees regular catcher in 1929 and his averaged ..320 in nearly 500 games since then. In 105 games this year his batting ave age is .310.
 Not So Bad.
 The Cubs catcher is Leo (Gab- by) Hartnett, a big, strapping fell low who is completing his eleventh season in the majors. He has batted .269 in 119 games this year.
 The National league biographer writes of Hartnett: He is one of the vital factors of the Cubs suc- cess, 8 fine catcher, damagerous hitter, and full of vim and energy. spurring his team on to the limit all through every game"
 If Hartnett can measure up to those fine words in the World Series, Bill Dickey may have to do SOIII0 huSLilu6s IIdA tllCtt Woo uC- prived of playing in the 1929 World series against the Athletics because of a lame arm. He ap- peared in the series in the role of pinch-hitter, only failed to get a hit in three times bat.
 Goes For Grimm.
 Harntnett has played consider ably better during the last seven weeks under Charlie Grimm than he did under Rogers Hornsby earlier in the season. During the last road trip he was one of the big guns in the Cubs attack.
 Bill Dickey had an unpleasant experience in trying to block a runner at the plate this season when he will not soon forget. In a July 4th game against Washing ton, Carl Reynolds, senator's out fielder, charged into Dickey in trying to score. Dickey struck Reynolds in the jaw, breaking 1t in two places. For this attack the Tanks, catcher drew a $1,000 fine and a 30-day suspension.

A Missing Note

It is too bad that the late Bill Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, who was never pOckey. shy if he thought another pen- nant might fly above Wrigley field, is not on hand to see his dream of later years come true under the most peculiar circum- stances. Of course, his objective the winning of a pennant by the Cubs and their participation in a worlds series would be some balm to him, but it would prob- ably make him think a bit, to look across Yankee stadium and sec Joe Mccarthy in the other dugout. That, after he let Joe go, because he couldn't get a pennant at any price. Then again, Bill might have been sur- prised at seeing the man he had so much misplaced faith in back on a farm, while a fiery and able leader, Charley Grimm, brought the Cubs up to the goal Wrigley so much desired. You could bet it never dawned on him that Grimm could do 1t, but Charley was always lone of the boys" and has proven himself real player-manager. It would be great to have Bill on hand for such an occasion, though it would be bitter medicine for him to see his Cubs beaten by team managed by a man he had let go at the wrong time, because he had listened to gossip rather than facts.

CUBS, TANKS HAVE
 EACH WON SEVEN
 FLAGS SINCE 1901

New York, Sep t 21- UP)- When the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs open their world Series at Yankee Stadium before some S0,000 fans next we'd nesday, it will be the first time In history that the two clubs have clashed in the classic.
 Only once before have. repre- sentatives of America's two larg- est cities met in World series com netition, in 1917, when the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Giants. -
 When the Cubs beat Pittsburgh yesterday in the first game of their double header they won their sev- enth pennant since the organiza- ton of the American league and the beginning of what is called "modern baseball" in 1901. The Cubs won two world champion ehips, against Detroit in 1907 and again in 1908. ...-
 The Yankees also have won seven pennants since 1901, and they have won three world cham pionships.

CUTLER, BUSH WIN TITLE GAME FOR
 WRICLEY, GRIMM
'Kiki's' Triple With Sacks Loaded Did the Trick Guy Will Start Against YankS

New York, Sept 21-UP)- Now that the world series between the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees has been assured, the big question confronting baseball fans Is this: What will Guy Bush do against the Tanks a week from to- day?
 Bush, the Mississippi-bor11right- handler, pitched the Cubs into the lead over Pittsburg on August H.: he did the hurling yesterday when the Cubs clinched the National league !pennant by trouncing the Pirates, and he has been named starting pitcher in the series next Wednesday.
 A Bush victory over the Yankee sluggers on the ,28th would auger well for the Windy City outfit dur ing the rest of the series.
 Bush won his 18th game of the season, the opener of y esterday's double-header with the Pirates, 5 to 2. He yielded only eight hits. but Kiki Cuyler's triple with the bases filled in the seventh inning actually won the game. Cuyler's blow came when the score was tied 2-2.
 Out of It
 Although the Pirates blanked the Cubs, to 0, in the nightcap aided by Heinie Meine's three-hit pitching, the opening victory blot ted out every mathematical chance of Pittsburg taking the pennant.
 Brook1yn's Dodgers strengthened their hold on third place by down. ing their closest rivals, the Phillies, to 1, after home runs by Joe Stripp and Glenn Wright account ed for all of Brooklyn's tallies.
 Bill Terry's New York Giants got IT hits, defeating the Boston Braves, 13 to 8, aided by home runs from Mel Ott and Terry. The St Louis Cardinals trounced the last place Cincinnati Reds, 8 to l..
 Walter Johnson's Washington Senatorse advanced to within three and one-half games of the second place Philadelphia Athletics in the American league by beating the Boston Red Sox, 4 to l.
 Cleveland strengthened its grip on fourth place by taking both ends of twin bill from the St Louis Browns, 6 to 2, and II to 2.
 Chicago's double header at De- troit was washed out. They were the only games scheduled.
