Of the Senators and the Alabama
Sewells made" their teams what they
are today.
Mancuso and Sewell do not rank
among the great catchers of all time.
They lack the mechanical precision Of
a Schalk and they do not hit with the
lustiness of Cochrane, but they are
both smart, dependable and durable.
The trades that brought them
into the pennant- winning pic

and Sewell from Cleveland,

IF Ben Cantwell had remained with
the New York Giants, the club
which first brought him up to the
National League, he might now be
figuring prominently in the world
series dope"
Instead he was traded to the Bos-
ton Braves in his second year Of big
league service and toiled there with
out much success until he suddenly
burst forth this season as one Of the
leagues outstanding hurlers.
The tall, lean Highlander
who had passed the 500 mark
only once before in his career in
the ma jors and then with four
victories and three defeats, was
right at the top of the list today
with 20 games won and nine lost.
Cantweu chalked up victory No. 20
yesterday at the expense of the cham
pion Giants, beating them for the
fourth time this year. to 3. He was
the third hurler in the league to
reach that marx. The others were the
Giants southpaw star, Carl Hubbell,
snd young Dizzy" Dean of st. Louis
The feat was all the more impressive
because it was performed with a Sec
ond-division club which has only q
mathematical chance Of capturing
fourth place, and because Of the con-
trast with his six-year record OF 80
victories and So defeats.
Whitney's Homer Decides 1t.
The fates were with the Boston
hurler yesterday. He was nicked for 10
hits while his rival, Roy Parmelee,
granted only six, but he gave only two
punches of blows and Boston eQualed
one of them to make the score % at
the end of the first and won out when
Pinkey Whitney socked home run
with two on base in the third. The
Boston infleld completed four double
plays to cut off other Giant chances.
The Uictory preserved Boston's
chances of finishing in the first
diuision. By thinning their t,Do re-
naming games, they cdn pass the
