BY JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-This may
be the big day in the National
league pennant race, according to
those experts who appreciate the
Importance of PSYCHOLOGY in base
ball. They figure that the winner
of today's final encounter between
New York and Pittsburgh will re-
ceive sufficient mental impetus to
race on to the pennant.
With both outfits trotting out
their best hurlers for the supreme
test, defeat is expected to crack
the morale of the losing club and
shoot it into a tail spin like that
Of tho Boston Braves.
The Pirates whitfield the Giants
lead to five and a half games yes
terday by crushing them, IA to 2,
for Pittsburgh's 18th victory in IA
starts.
st. Louis replaced Boston at
fourth position by crushing the
Phillies 10 to l.
The Braves dropped into second
division after bowling to Chicago,
. to l, when Gabby Hartnett's Sec
ond inning homer accounted for
the winning tally.
Brooklyn blanked Cincinnati, 2 to
O. behind Walter Beck's five hit
pitching.
Meanwhile the second place New
York Yankees pared Washington's
American league lead to eight and
a half games by downing st. Louis,
II to 8, as Lou Gehrig headed the
Yanks' Is hit attack with his 25th
homer.
Chicago blanked Washington, l
to 0. although Monte Weaver held
the Chisox to three hits.
In his major league debut,
Rookie Johnny Marcum Of Phila-
delphia blanked Cleveland, s to 0,
holding the Indians to five scat
tered hits.
Detroit at Boston was postponed
because Of wet grounds.

CUBS ONLY CHANCE
IS TO ROUT GIANTS
Must Take at Least Five OF
Six-Game Series to Become
Threat to Leaders.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TINE Chicago Cubs marched
into the National League
i pennant picture today to
start a six-game series with
the New York Giants that was
labeled even before it started as
a last ditch" affair.
Starting from a second-place tie, TX
games behind the Giants, the Cubs
were rated as the only team that had
any real chance of beating out the
leaders.
New York's closing game at Cincin-
natl was wiped out by the threatening
weather yesterday and it is unlikely
that it will be played unless it is neces-
sary to decide the championship. With
that and another game gone where they
can't be added to the Giants losing
column, the Cubs were faced with the
necessity of winning all six games or
at the worst five out of six, to get into
a threatening position.
And even in that event they
wouldn't be sure as the Giants
now need to win only half their
remaining Is games to clinch the
flag, regardless of what the other
teams do,

MYTH any kind of a punch the
hW Nationals would have gone on
- to victory over Pearson. He
kkave up three passes in addition to
Nhe four hits and also cut loose wild
bitch And back of him Bill Cissel,
playing at second base, kicked In with
two errors. Four times the Nationals
mad as many as two on the runway at
Dnce Twice with only one out. Yet,
lacking a wallop they had eight strand
ed on the bases.
The Tribe hit Crowder only in three
innings, but concentrated its attack In
the seventh. Then by clustering three
blows it got its win.

The Indians provided the remainder
of the fireworks Earl Averill opened
their seventh turn with one-baser.
Then Hal Trosky. the recruit, slashed
one to deep short good enough for a
base But Joe Cronln, who had MADE
q dazzling stop of the hit, tried for
force play at second.
Joe's chuck whizzed wildly by Buddy
Myer and before the ball was back IN
the infield Averill was at third base and
Trosky at second.
Hale fouled out, but Yves Fer
rell, the pitcher outfielder who
had gone hitless 10 times since
tho Sfarf of the series last Sum
day. rammed single to center
and Averill and Trosky Tailed.
With the Nationals getting but one

however, is not Walter Johnson's.
Walter is willing to gamble on

Yet Yves says he will not. He be-

His II won and IL lost has him soured
He won Is games in 1880, 81 in 1929
his first two years in the majors. So
this semester's brand Of hurting has
led him to believe that his pitching
number is up.
He says and means it-that he is
better than 300 hitter. He contends
that his arm is as good as any out
fielder's in the game, and that he can
get under high one as swiftly as the
next fellow. Yesterday he won ball
game from the Nationals with a drive
that scored two runs.
Hes out there in the garden
because my fielders have not been
hitting" Walter johnson says.
But I don't think it is permanent.

That's rough on the pitchers, but

Heinie Manush is getting greater
applause than ever this season. The
big, deliberate Dutchman Is marching
through left field second to none. And
his willow welding Is perfect. Yester-
day he reached 203 to lead both leagues
in total hits for the season. Kuhel has
been driving in those needed runs and
showing more confidence at the first

EynOn to Talk Series Details
With Judge Lands in Chicago;
Ferrell's Wallop UPsets Mats

Porter had an easy day. Not a ny
ball was knocked his way nor was a
hit driven into the Cleveland right
fielders territory. He walked the first
time at bat only to be caught in a
double-play, then never got to first base
again.
Pytlak, the little Indian catcher,
flashed class as he pounced on
CrO1Dder's bunt and pegged for q
forceout OF SetDell in the nth
frame. 1t ipas q lightning play.
That hit Of Yves Ferrell's In the
seventh that broke up the ball game
was only his second since his switch
from the pitchers box to the outf1eld
last Saturday. He whacked q safety
the first time up in his opening game
as a gardener, then went hitless in Is
trips to the plate before seeking Crow
der's offering.
Three pinch-batters were sent up In
succession by Manager Cronin in the
ninth with only one coming through.
Rice grabbed Bluege's bat and skied to
the left fielder. Bolton took Sewells
place at the plate and singled to center,
but Harris, who dubbed for Crowder,
rolled into a force play.
Manush was the only National
that really troubled Pearson. In
his four times at the plate, Heinie
got . pass and two singles.

There are several other pilots, and
many ball players, in the American
League who believe that most of
Georges trouble is in his mind and not
In his f1ipper.
So there will be spirited bid
ding for the big highlander,
despite all of the yarns about his
misbehavior on and of the ball
field.
Cleveland will not offer Yves Terrell
in trade for George, however. There
are two reasons. One Of them IS
enough. Connie Mack has said to the
insiders that Yves arm is shot.
Connie 1Dill take cash from
Cleveland, maybe. But St. Louis

~ ing the Giants are getting figures
this morning show that the New
Yorks have won 26 games by 1-run
margins, limited foes to l run % times,
2 runs on IA occasions and scored %
shutouts. 1t also attests to the teams
sterling infield play And, Of course. to
its lack of potency at bat, If you want
to take another angle.
On the heels of that are fig
ures to show that the Mats have
won 80 games by 1-run margins.
Which will give you something to
think about in comparing the op-

And, something of which the Giants

that's due to our power. Which the
