MACK'S SLUCCERS
MARVELSAT HOME
Circuit CIouts Have Upset
Cronin Crew in Several
Shibe Park Games.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

HHlLADELPH september J..
r. Here for three clashes
i with a club that is striving
desperately to get back into
the first division, the Nationals,
although proud possessors of a
league lead of 84 games, have
their work cut out for them this
week end.
While they have laced the Ath-
1etics 10 times in Is engagements
this season, the league leaders
have been no wonders on the
home field of Connie Mack's
minions. More often than not the
AS show no respect for anything
they encounter in Shibe Park.
Mack's men are marvels on their
own greensward.
The stand trimming left field and the
street behind the wall bordering the
short right garden seem to lure more
drives of the bats of the home boys
known reason. The Nationals usually
get their full share of safeties here, but
they bang 'em inside the park whereas
the AS sock EN- to the outside with
startling frequency.
All Of which means that the
Washington pitchers will be per-
forming under pressure through
o. the trio of tussIes here.
Through their first two series in this
neck of the woods the Nationals were
made to suffer severely by this discon-
certing habit of the AS to wallop home
runs Back in April, the powerful Jimmy
Foxx bagged two games of a set of
three with his blasting four-base
bludgeon. In three-game series here
IN June, homers upset the Nationals in
the first two games. Surprisingly, Bob
Grove contributed one of the long
drives. The others flew from the bats
Of Ed Coleman and Mickey Cochrane,
And Dhen it seemed the Na-
tiondls had the third game of the
set in the bag, Forr came up 1pith
t1co on dnd t,po out in the eighth
inning to ram q tour-bdser into
the left field stand to bring about
a tie that could not be broken
before q storm ended hostilities.
So the best the Nationals got out Of
their first six appearances here
amounted to one win against four de-
feats. They couldn't combat those
homers.

scrappy Senators, but the collapse Of
the Yanks and Athletics has caused the
base ball diagnosticians to do a lot Of
probing and measuring.
Much of the investigation. of course,
means nothing. When a team is at
the top it is the better club, no mat
ter how it got there But there must
be a reason for the Yanks' indolent
hitting and fielding and the Macks'
in-and-out playing. Consequently, the
apparent indifference in the playing Of
the two teams Is being nailed as prompt
ed by the shortness of cash.

Different in July Battling.

TT was vastly different In the July
battling between Nationals and Ath-
letics in Shibe Park, however. Then
the Capital clubmen, glorying In new
found power that had carried them to
the heights in the American League,
went into action with all the vim and
vigor to be expected Of circuit pace
settlers. Three games were played and
all three finished in their favor
The Nationals plan of winning
In that series was q simple one.
They simply piled up a lot Of
runs early In each engagement,
then let the AS do what they
could.
But the pitchers of the Cronin curv-
ing corps who saw service in that series
were on edge all the way, at that. For
the AS persisted in their home-run
batting habit through the first two en-
counters of the set Both runs they
put over in the first game came from
four-base blows by Cochrane and Bob
johnson. When they were hit, the
Nationals were so nicely ahead they
were not disturbed by the powerful
punches, however.
1t tDds something else In the
second set-tO, though. Then the
AS put ON nerDe-Dracking rally
tn the ninth Dith Bob Higgins,
coleman and Forr larruping the
ball out of the park.
Not until Jack Russell was hurried
20 the relief of Bill McAfee, then a
member Of the Washington slab staff,
was the uprising quelled.
Mats Now Have Wallopexs.
DERHAPS some homers will spring
from the bats of the Nationals in
this series. While the league lead
ers have been no startling producers of
four-base blows, they have picked up in
this style Of attack recently and both
Joe Kuhel and Goose Goslin have smote
homers at not infrequent intervals. All
told, the Nationals have battered 81
home runs this season. Not so many,
maybe, when compared with the totals
Of clubs that have their Ruth, their
Gehrig and their Foxx. But a total
s1zeable enough to command respect.
And the Nationals at any time
are apt to break out their Of
fensive specialties-the smacking
Of triples and doubles.
With the possible exception of al
Crowder, who does not know whether
the pitching arm that has done so
much for his club this season is quite
right, all members Of the league-lead-
ing outfit arrived here fit for the scrap
ping with Comics corps Even Buddy
Myer, the regular second sacker, and
Sam Rice, extra outfielder, whose tum-
mics have been troubling them, again
are in line for duty. Kuhel has been
bothered by boil, but he'll be on the
fob at first base.
The to7rid tumor ,DiH cause Joe
no annoyance, for he must stand
up to play base ball.

Form and Fundamentals.
IT NEVER could quite under
stand the alleged value of

ri NEVER could quite under
stand the alleged value of
i form or STYLE" writes K. F.
LAS see it, many great
hitters in base ball have differ
ent ways Of swinging a bat. Many
star pitchers throw in different
ways. Many fine golfers have
different styles or methods. The
same applies to tennis and other
sports. This being so, just what
does form count for?"
There are certain fundamentals that
belong to every game, and these funda-
mentals become the basis or foundation
Of what Is known as form.
For example, Babe Ruth used
Joe Jackson for his model. Jack
son stood at the plate with his
right foot advanced, his left foot
we'll back. The back Of his right
shoulder, he being . left-handed
hitter, was turned to the pitcher.
This made it much easier for him to
pivot-to get his body back Of the wal
lop as he stepped forward.
Ruth went to greater extremes In the
matter Of having his left foot well back
and his right shoulder turned away
from the pitcher.
Ruth and Cobb had entirely different
ways Of hitting a BAH, as Ruth is q
swinger and slugger, while Cobb was
largely q place hitter, choking up the
bat for control above power.
Yet both Ruth and Cobb used
the same basic fundamentals in
regard to transterence OF tDeight
through the s,ping-not hitting
too Quickty-keeping an eye on
the ball.
Cobb, during q batting slump. al
ways had one or two oldtimers on the
bench to study his action and report
the fault that was affecting his swing.
He might have been starting his body
too quickly-throwing his weight too
far forward before starting his hands.
He might have been hitting up or hit
ting down where he should have been
swinging in a plane parallel to the
ground.
Cobb once went to bat "a con-
secutive times without getting .
hit. This meant . hitless span
Of nix or seven xames. His bench
experts finally located the fault
and he WAS on his way again.
Pitching Form.
4 FEW days ago happened to see
n q slow-motion picture Of Walter
johnson In action. It.was notice
able that johnson had q decided BODY
turn-thst he carried his right hand
far back and well around.
al fhof
finish Of his backward motion the right
wrist was well cooked, remaining IN
this cooked position until the final Zip
Of the wrist that sent the ball spinning
on its way.
The same motion applies to forward
passing.
"The forward paAe15," says
Benny Friedman, "have enough
body turn-or use their hand and
wrist properly. The forward tip
Of the foot ball should be aimed
upward, mot along . line parallel
to the ground"
"This latter fault is the cause Of so
many passes that fall short. There is
also q tendency to keep the right wrist
too rigid-not cooked sufdciently to get
any real power"
Same In GOA.
TT might be said that any number Of
leading golfers have different types
Of swings. Yet practically all the
stars follow the same main funda-
mentals.
They might be listed in this order:
The head used Is anchor to the
swing.

n JEW YORK, SepCemDer L.
nj Friends Of the late Maj. Frank
Cavanaugh, who think in terms
other than sport, have often
referred to him as man qualified
for distinction in his State or the
Nation, but deprived Of his logical
destiny by too great devotion to foot
ball.
We wonder If this is true We wonder,
as we have wondered about 50 many
men of whom it has been said they
might have found higher or, In any
case, different inches than those they
chose to occupy, whether or not Cav
was precisely placed.
For one thing. he entered the career
he loved, performed the work he thor
oughly enjoyed. And so few men seem
to be thus favored as to erect brief
for Frank Cavanaugh right at the out
set.
He was strong man, strong Of
mind. He knew what he wanted
to do and he did it. Essentially
. man Of action, he craved &C
ton, incessant action.
The rough give and take, the dynamic
manliness of the gridiron, the hurry
burly of foot ball politics, contacts with
men who loved fortnight talk and STIR
ring action, the application Of power
against power, the matching of wits
against wits-al these things were his
breath of life.
Chose His Own Path.
TIE might have died a judge Of the
Supreme Court Of the common
wealth of Massachusetts, yes
had he cared thus to shape his career
But he did not care to. And that is the
answer to Frank Cavanaugh's career.
He had a bigger interest and he fol-
lowed 1t.
His bent and why he followed it never
were more speakingly demonstrated
than when war came Here was his
dish, just as foot ball had been.
Enlisting as a private of
Artillery, he rose steadily to his
majority and he Uould haze gone
higher had the ,Dar lasted longer,
because fundamentally he tpds a
leader of men, fighter.
And the true. fine, big Irish heart
of him and all the sturdy sentiment of
his race were exemplified in the letter
from France he wrote to his six chill
dren. proclaiming soldiers patriotism,
his love of home and dear ones which
went through the country as a keynote
Of sacrifice and idealism.

~ coach, he had one characteristic
defect which hurt him greatly
he was absolutely frank. II he felt q
thing or believed a thing, he said 1t
and as we all know the blunt truth
very often means nothing more than
lack Of tact. Then. of course, some
times when he thought he was telling
the truth he was mistaken.
As for instance when he told
Fat Spears, then q candidate for
'Cav's" Dartmouth eleven, that
the big lad was yellow. Spears
was not yellow.
He had q broken arch in his right
foot and had been concealing the injury.
So he tried to prove he was not yellow

Boston, Jan 2O-(UP)-George Crawford, ss, negro. will return to Virginia, probably tomorrow, to bc tried on charges of numbering Mrs Spencer Illsley, 70, sportswom- an, and her maid, Anna Buckner. 60. Crawford, who allegedly has confessed to complicity in the crimes was identified through fin- gerprints after being arrested here last Friday the 18th on a burglary charge. John Galleher, attorney for the commonwealth of Virginia, said here to-day that Crawford was willing to return, and that he would leave soon after requisition papers, now enroute to Boston, ar- rived. Crawford aliegedly admit ted to Galleher that he and another negro, Ezra Johnson, were burglar izing the Illsley estate when the killings occurred.
 Galleher quoted Crawford as say ing he and Johnson had "knocked out' Mrs Iils1ey with Q bootjack, and then the maid when she went to her mistress' assistance. They went through the bedroom and got $5 from Mrs Illslcy's pocketbook Gailcher said the negro had re- counted. "After the murder, they took Mrs Illsleys automobile and drove 1t almost, to Washington. When they reached the capital, Crawford said he quarreled with Johnson and they separated" Crawford told police he came to Boston on q freight train and had not seen Johnson "for months"

 ANTIQUE GLASS

White water, Wls.--(UP) -- San- dars II. Hoyum, grade school prin- cIpnl, believes he has one of the largest private collections of rare glass in tho world. IIe has been collecting glassware for 20 years and every house along n road he believes may hold treasure for him.
 A large part of his collection he found preserved as hcirlooms. "lt is surprising how much glass has stood the effects of time," HOyum says. Most of 1t is unbelievably | fragile, of uneven thickness nne shot through with bubbles. In spite of that. am continually finding perfect specimens in homes where they have been used for genera. tons,
 "BubbIes in old glass do not les. sen lts value. Rather. they indicate It's authcnticity.I Another test ii pontil marks which indicate the use of tho pontil rod and mold em' ployed by early American glass makers These marks often add | to the value of glass"
 HOyum'B collection includes moro than 100 lamps of many de' signs and shapes. Patterns known ns Westward Ho and Bell Flower nre found oftencst, he says. He also has collected examples of patterns known as Rose in Snow, Blue Hob. nail, Irish HOneycomb, Milk Glass Ovcrlay and Thumb Print. Besides early American glass, ho owns ex- amplcs of 17th and 18th Century Bohemian and Irish glass of varied colors and shades.
 Antique glass prices have held up well during tho depression and I'm not worried about my invest mcnt," Hoyum says.
