 New York, Oct 2--(U.P.) The rise of new champions-clubs and players-featured the 10Sc major league championship season which ended yesterday.
 National League race, the New York Giants emerged unexpected ly with the flag. bringing glory to as manager. Chuck Klein of the Phillies and Bud Timing of the Chicago Cubs carried off batting and pitching honors.
 Nice Work
 Tn the American League, Wash ington's new "boy" manager, Joe Crontn, led the Senators to the pennant. Jimmy Foxx of the Phil- sell Van Alta of the Yankees took the batting and pitching crowns.
 Klein supplemented his top .36S batting average by leading in home runs, 2S; runs batted in. 120: hits. 22s; and doubles, A. Foxx, who batted .356, likewise led American home run hitters with AS, and drove in the most runs, 15s. Timing succeeds his Chicago mound mate, Lon warneke. as leading National pitcher with IS victories and 6 defeats. Van Alta, in his first season in the majors, replaces Lefty" Grove of the Ath- letics as top American finger with 12 wins and 4 losses.
 Dizzy Dean of the St Louis Card- inals set a new modern record of 17 strikeouts in one game. His Catcher Jimmy Wilson registered a new modern mark of IS putouts. Carl Hubbell of the Giants es- tablished a new National League record of pitching 46 consecutive scoreless innings. Lefty Grove gave the Tanks their first shutout in 30S league games, an all-time record. Some Stickwork! Jimmy Toxx chalked up . new American circuit mark of nine runs driven in in one game. Lou Gehrig of the Yankees broke Dea- con Scott's all-time record of play ing 1907 consecutive games on August 1T. Yesterday Gehrig's mark was brought to 1.84S games, and he hopes to better 1t next sea- son.
 Other new managers were less fortunate than Cronin and Terry. Charlie Grimm, in his first full season as pilot of the Cubs saw his | team drop from first to third place. Donie Bush, new Cincinnati pilot. was unable to boots the Reds out of last place. Frankie Frisch, who replaced Gabby Street as the Card inal's manager on July 24. saw his club nosed out of first division yes- | terday.
 In the American League. Walter Johnson succeeded Roger Peckin- paugh as Cleveland pilot on June the same fourth-place berth oc- cupied for the past four seasons. | Rogers Hornsby succeeded Bill Klllefer as St Louis pilot on July 26. and the Browns finished last.

All Done Pitching
 Says Babe Ruth

New York, Oct 2--CU.P.)-Babe Ruth answered the question which all baseball fans are asking when he said, mo sir! I've no intention of becoming regular pitcher"
 "Why, it'd take me about two years to get my arm in shape for regular pitching. You don't just jump into regular pitching, you know"
 The great man made this state ment last night. following yester- days mound triumph for the New York Yankees over the Boston Red Sox. At 39, the all-time home run king, who started his professional baseball career 20 years ago as a pitcher, returned to the mound and pitched his club to a 6 to tri- umph, allowing the Bostonians 12 hits but keeping them scattered.
 He also drove out the home run that won the game-his 34th of the season.

MORNING DRILLS
 GROWN TO
 CRASH BIG SHOW
0arne's Youngest Manager Topped From High
 School to Majors
By GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Stan Correspondent)

fUnitcd Press Stan Correspondent)
 Chicago, Oct 2-(UP)-When baseball laurels for 1888 are passed out, Joe Cronin, the boy manager, will be somewhere near the front of the line.
 If the Senators capture the worlds title from the Giants in the series opening tomorrow, Cron- in's right to baseball no. spot for. 1898 cannot be denied. If the senators finish second to the Giants Cronin may have to share honors with Bill Terry, the first-year lead CT of the New Yorks.
 Besides being manager of the Senators--the youngest in major league history-Cronin is basebalrs greatest shortstop, one of the ttmeliest hitters in the game, and an interesting and entertaining character.
 Rapid Rise.
 Cronin, who won't reach 27 until atfer the World Series is over the dates Oct. 12-jumped from high school to the big leagues. He was a star on the Sacred Heart High school team when Pittsburgh signed him in 1925. at the age of IS. Sacred Heart also was attended by the late James J. Corbett and Harry Heiimann.
 Pittsburgh kept string attach ed to Cronin until 1928, when the Pirates sold him outright to Kan sas City. Scout Joe Engle found him there and bought his contract for Washington.
 Practice Made Perfect.
 Cronin attributes his rise to the major leagues to the hours of morning practice he put in at washington in 1928.
 I went to the park every morn ing and practice for hours" said Cronln. "The next season l was a decidedly improved player and got into 145 games. Stanley Harris, then manager of the Senators, helped give me confidence by tell ing me that ] was his shortstop even if I didn't bat more than .ooO per cent.
 CronIn is ball players mana ger, and well liked by players. when he's on the field he tends more to his job of shortstopping than attempting to manage the team. He personally selects his pitchers and pinch-hitters. some say on lunches, but he frequently consults pitcher before sending him to the mound.

Even Terrys implication that he might call upon the lean Okla homa screw-ball star as many as three times failed to shake the faith of the odds-makers. The Giants, were 10 to z favorites to capture the opening game at the Polo Grounds tomorrow. indicat- ing the awe in which basebalrs current greatest pitcher is held.
 Break For Fans
 To-day's one major development in the world series situation was the start of single-game tickets. When the Giants first began &C., cepting currency and we'll authen- ticated checks for series admis- sions they clung to the ancient system of selling tickets in blocks of three. That is. one had to buy tickets for the first two games and the possible sixth game, If any was bought. But now anybody with $5.50 wanting a reserved grand stand seat may get a coupon for the first or second game.
 This is important to the club which needs world series cash if season financial figures are to be written in black ink, and just as important to the players who "cut in" on the receipts of the first four games.
 Giant Fans "Hot"
 While the players were going through their final huddles and brief workouts. baseball fandom began in earnest to discuss series possibilities. And for all the fact the Senators were favorites, there were plenty of Giant enthusiasts One of the least of these is the writer who is not only willing but anxious to climb way out on limt and predict a New York victory in a seven game series.'
 "It's perfectly true that, Wash ington is supposed to have a better infield, three votes to one, and a better outfield, to 1. It's true that Washington's batting averages clearly shade those of the New Yorks. Offsetting these advantages Is the fact that New York pitching, solely because of Hubbell's super iority over Crowder, Whitehill or any of the other Washington fling CTS. But for a well-rounded club, Washington seems to be 1t. So why pick New York? Simply because of that something which is summed up in one word: Spirit"
 Washington has a fighting team, but the power and drive that brought the Giants, a club almost universally tagged for the second division, into the National League championship, seem to this writer to be enough to push them safely through the series.
 Besides, while the Washington batting averages are higher, the Giants, notably their fiery leader, First BaAeman Terry, have that de- lightful knack of making hits when they count.
 The Giants look like happy choice because Lady Luck has been travelling with them all sea- son. This doesn't seem the time for her to desert.

MARRIAGE OF / FILM STARS
 QUI1E UNDUE
Two Young Persons Come Up from Extra Ranks
 Into Spotlight
By ROBBIN COONs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. B. The marriage Of Frances Dee and Joel McCrea IS unique, aside from it's romantic aspects. In that It unites two young players both or whom rose from the extra ranks.
 In these days, when the movies draw most of their talent or pros poets from the stage, such a TO- nance is rare because so few players are coming from the shadowy army of extras into prom thence.
 About the time that Joel, just out of school and trying for a place in the movie sun, was re- ceiving his first big role in The Silver Horde," Frances Dee was making her way to the front after being selected by Maurice Cheva- Her for his feminine lead in In nocents of Paris" Their romance started when Joel and Franc s both were cast in The Silver Cord" They played young lovers in the Lionel Barrymore film One Mans Journey'-and then came the journey to the altar.

But there are only few young players who like Francis and Joel, began as extras and now have contracts. Ann Dvorak and Toby Wing were chorus girls, Adalyn Doyle and Lorena Layson were 'stand-ins," and Bruce Cabot and Kent Taylor, both extras, got their opportunities after appearing in screen tests with women players
 There are a few who represent the screens once favored method of unearthing talent. Now it goes usually to the stage, or has a contest, and it's news when an extra makes the grade-even more so than it was news when Fran ces Dee and Joel McCrea won mo- tice.
