GrQImen In b WOr1u SeT16S.
Because of their great pitching,
the New York Giants rate at least
an even chance against the Sena-
tors in a short series.
HubbeII Hurls Opener
For the same reason, the Giants
would be better than an even
money choice to trim the Yanks,
Carl Hubbell will pitch the
opening game of the series for the
Giants. He also will pitch the
fourth game, regardless of results
in the first three.
Bill Clark may supplant Fitz-
simmons, Schumacher and Parm-
elee as starter in one Of the
games.
Bill Terry Speaks
For all of which, you make take
the word of Bill Terry, manager
of the Giants. Moreover, (Terry
talking):
Ninety games will win the
National League pennant this
year. That means we need only
22 Of our remaining 43 games,
or virtually a $3.50 pace.
"FriSch, Gibson, McKechnie
and Grimm are merely whiStl-
ing through q graveyard when
they say they'll win if we crack.
What else can they say? They
can't tell their teams they're all
washed up, while they still have
a slim mathematical chance.
FEARS INJURIES MOST
"At the moment We fear ac-
cidentS more than Cubs, Pirates,
Braves and Cardinals combined.
I'D prefer to meet the Yanks
in the series, not only because
there probably would be more
money in it for us, but because
their pitching is not as good as
the Senators. And the Yanks
are not as fast or as smart as
the Senators and playing them,
we would have only Ruth, Geh-
rig and Dickey to fear. Chap
mans a great ball player, but
he wouldn't figure to hurt us
much.
"The Senators have every
thing a great ball club needs
but / can show them five won
derful pitchers, each with a diff
ferent style and all of them
dOubly tough when you hit
against them for the first time.
MIGHT SHOW NERVOUSNESS
Schumacher and ParmeIee
might possibly be a little nerv-
GUS but if they get by the first
inning they will be almost un-
beatable. I'm not worried about
Fitz, Hubbell or Clark on that
score. Nothing less than an
earthquake could shake their
pOiSe.
81 think the Giants stand a
better chance against the Sem
atOrS than any other National
League team, merely because of
our pitching.
81 look for a tight series with
the team getting the breaks
winning. If Lady Luck is still
with us-well, you can write
your own ticket"

ALGONAC, Mich, Aug. 23.-His

Grimes To Pilot
Dodgers In '34
Is Rumor

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Bur-
leigh Grimes, for nine years a
leading pitcher with the Brooklyn
Dodgers, is coming back to man
age the Flatbush outfit in the
National League. according to re-
ports today. Grimes, now with
the st. Louis Cardinals, will sue
ceed Maxey Carey as manager Of
the Dodgers in 1884 at a salary
of $4,000 a year, it was under
stood.
It was reported that decision to
name Grimes as manager followed
a demand of Zach Wheat, former
Brooklyn favorite now in Polo,
Mo-, for $15,500 salary. Gabby
Street, recently ouSted as man
ager of the Cardinals, was also
considered, but dropped when be
asked $4,000 salary.
Anxious to Pilot
Grimes was said to be anxious
to try his hand at pilot and is
ready to accept the Brooklyn
berth, although the salary he will
receive is lower than he got as a
pitcher until recently. He is now
getting around $4,000 with the
Cardinals.
Burleigh formerly played with
New York, Pittsburgh, Boston and
Chicago in the National League.
NouS tn Erisch
BOSTON, Aug. 23.-Frankie
Frisch, manager of the Cardinals,
today denied knowledge of a re.
port that Burleigh Grimes will
manage the Brooklyn Dodgers
next season, in the absence of the
Cards pitcher, who has been sent
back to st. Louis because of a
strained muscle.
Jess HaineS, roommate of
Grimes, also said he knew moth
ing of the Brooklyn offer.
Grimes was ordered home to
rest up for the important series
with the Pittsburgh Pirates,
Frisch said.

HOMER SHOVES
BRAVES INTO
End PLACE

Baseball's tickle spotlight, row.
ing around like a crosS-eyed man
at necktie counter, today
poured its warming, hero-making
glow on Wally Berger, big club
and clout gent Of the Boston
Braves.
Mr.. Berger wasn't feeling very
we'll and only got one hit yes
terday against the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates, but it happened to be a
home run and came in the four
teenth inning.
It proved so important the
Braves won, to 4, and moved
into undisputed possession Of Sec
ond place in the National League,
while the Pirates dropped to a
tie with the Chicago Cubs for
fourth place, only three points
behind the hard-pressed st. Louis
Cardinals in the third notch. The
Braves are seven games behind
the league leading New York
Giants.
The circuit blow, Berger's
twenty Of the season,
ended a brilliant hurting duel be-
tween Fred Farmhouse, who
went the distance for Boston,
and Waite Hoyt, who got into the
picture after Hall Smith went
out for a pinch hitter in the
fourth inning.
Drives In 3 Runs
Dick Gyselman, the young man
substituting for the injured
Pinkey Whitney at third base for
the Braves. drove in three of
BoSton'S runs.
Like Berger, joey Sewell became
hero for a day, when he went
in as pinch hitter for the New
York Yankees in the ninth and
with a Smacking single drove in
the run that humbled the Cleve-
land Indians, 4 to 2. Vernon
Gomez, slim Californian, won his
thirteenth hurting prize, despite
thc fact he got generous in the
pinches and handed out six walks.
Joe Mccarthy. the Yank's ailing
manager. returned to his team, but
Babe Ruth remained on the side
lines, still nursing his injured
ankle.
SOx Sock SOx
Chicago's White Sox took a twin
bill from the Boston Red Sox. Ted
Lyons steady hurting, backed up
a 15-hit attack on Dusty Rhodes,
won the first game, 8 to 1, while
Joe Heving was right in the
nightcap, scoring a 4 to o shut
out with Six-hit pitching.
Homers by Finney, McNair and
Higgins gave Philadelphia a Z to
6 triumph over Rogers Hornsby's
last place St. Louis Browns. The
Browns rallied in the fifth to
score five runs and started an
other uprising in the ninth, which
netted one run.
The Washington times., 1933-08-23

Noteworthy pitching, OF course,
has been the biggest item in the
teams victorious march towards
first division berth. Even so,
there's been one other feature.
And that has been the playing
Of Bill Rogell at short.
Rogell, according to Detroit
baseball men, has played an ex-
cellent game for the Tigers dur
ing this home stand. His hit
ting has been hard and timely
while his fielding has measured
up to the best the Tigers have
seen or heard of in several years.
Most Improved ShOrtstOp
"The kid is the most improved
shortstop in the American
League" H. G. Salsinger, sports
editor Of the Detroit News, said
today. TN fact, he's put a GER
tain spark into the Tigers that
they've needed for moons. I'd
say he was one of the biggest
reasons for the Tigers success
during this home stand, next to
the fine efforts of the pitchers"
Weaver handed the Tigers a
run in the second yesterday wnen
he walked Greenberg, then
baked him to second. Stones
slow roller to Myer moved Green
berg to third while Owens
grasser to Cronin enabled the
Tiger first sacker to score easily.
Weaver got into trouble again
in the fourth, when three hits
enabled the Tigers to push over
another run. Here, however, a
double play averted further
trouble as it ended the inning.
The three hits were made by
Greenberg, Stone and Owen in
succession, the first named Scor-
ing. Then Hayworth drove into
the twin killing, Weaver to Myer
to Kuhel.
The Griffs got one of these
markers back in the fifth when
Kuhel walked, Bluege Singled Joe
to third and Sewell drove into
a doubleplay, Gehringer to Rogell
to Greenberg. Weaver got "life"
on RogellS tumble. a little later
on, while Myer doubled Monte
to third. But the frame ended
when Goslin rolled to Green
berg.

CROWDER JUST.
AS GOOD ON
RELIEF JOB
BY Times Staff Correspondent
DETROIT, Aug. 23.-"The best

by Ilnes starr Correspondent
DETROIT, Aug. 23.-"The best
relief pitcher in baSeball!"
That's what Joe Cronin, youth
full manager of the Griffmen; has
thought of General Alvin Crow
der throughout his short career
as big league pilot.
yep, also a great starting
pitcher, but just as good as q
rescue man at those moments
when needed most" said Cronin.
Yesterday, Manager Joe called
on his "Old Faithful" in the ninth
inning of that see-saw ball game
with the Detroit Tigers. The
GriffS went into this ninth inning
leading, 8 to Z, after having staged
one Of the most lively rallies in
moons.
Trailing, to 5, Schultz and
Kuhel doubled in succession for
one run, then Pinch.Hitter Dave
Harris walked and stole second
as Buddy Meyer looked over q
couple at the plate. A Stinging
double to the left field corner by
Buddy drove Kuhel and Harris
across the counting block to give
the Griffs an 8-to-7 lead.
Crowder Gets First Man
Here the stage was all set for
Crowder's nth" success in the
relief role. The veteran should
come through easily, it was
thought, and this idea was
strengthened even more when
Rogell, first up for the Tigers,
flied to Schultz.
But no, something happened.
Fox, with two strikes on him,
smashed a double down the left
field foul line. Gehringer fol-
lowed with a double to center, Fox
counting with the tying run.
Crowder was relieved and
Tommy Thomas rushed to the
box. No use making the veteran
"bear down" here, Cronin fig
ured, and he's to be counted upon
for one of the double-header
games the following day.
Well, it was put up to Thomas.
He began excellently by striking
out Walker, dangerous right
handed hitting batter. Only one
more to get to end the frame
with a tie score. That zone more"
was Greenberg.
Over Left Field Wall
Tommy pitched two wide ones"
to Greenberg, then the Tiger first
sacker drove the ball over the left
field wall for a clean-cut homer.
Gehringer, of course, scored ahead
of the clout, and it enabled the
Tigers to win, 10 to 8.
The loss reduced the Griffs'
lead over the Yankees in the bat
tie for first place honors to seven
and one-half games, as the YankS
defeated the Cleveland Indians,
to 3.
But the Griffs are not worried
as their idea is that the following
day is always another day and
that hardly ever will game like
yesterdays be played again.
Monte Weaver started on the
mound for the Griffs yesterday,
by the way. Jack Russell hurled
the the seventh and eighth after
Monte had been withdrawn for
pinch hitter Sam Rice in the up
per portion OF the seventh. AL
though Greenberg's homer was
gathered off Thomas, CroWder was
charged with the loss and it
marked his ninth of the campaign.
Vic Sorrell hurled for the Tigers
until the ninth. Carl Fischer was
the rescue man and became the
winning pitcher after the Tigers
rallied in their end Of the ninth.
Some ball game? Well, now,
you tell one.
