Bucky Fears Clubs Pressing"

CECOND place may mean little to

to the Nationals it means quite bit,
now that they are so near to the posi-
ton and wondering how it will feel to
have 500 extra potatoes to spend this

The postponement of yesterdays
double header, meaning the loss Of
one crack at the Sox, hasn't helped,
as Bucky views it. Even if the Ma
tionals win both games today they
must hustle to finish on top unless the
Browns suddenly cast off their cloaks
of fall guys" and start whipping
the White Sox.
The rain did nothing to disturb
Harris pitching plans, although 1t
meant that Buck Newsom would be
ready to start If needed. Harris, how
ever. still clung to the belief that Joe
Cascarella and Pete Appleton, his
prize curve ballers, would be his best
bets against Chicago's hard-hitting
right-handed lineup. The Griffs were
to be opposed by Ted Lyons and ver-

To have this suspension lifted
Owens must apply to the Foreign

Yanks Enter Series With Streak.

WHEN the Yankees take the field
against the Giants, If the Giants
it is to be, they will enter the series
with the greatest winning streak Of
all time, as far as titular set is con-
cerned. In almost unbelievable fash
ion Ruppert's teams have won IL con-
secutive world series games, dating
back to 1927, when the Pirates were
routed in four straight games.
In 1928 the Yankees again
won the pennant and grabbed
the series from the Cardinals in p
four straight games. Lastly,
they won in 1882 and nobody
recalls more vividIy than Joe
Mccarthy, who then piloted the
Cubs, how the Yankees swept
the set to make 1t IL in q row.
AS things now stand, Carl Hubbell
is apt to pitch the opening game OF
the series for the Giants and enter
the series with a personal winning
streak of something like IS victories,
in a row. Right of the bat it will be
a question of which winning streak
will 60 blooey. Then again, for all OF
the prosperity which has marked the
Yanks' campaigning during the last
dozen years, New Yorks American
League representative still trails the
Giants in world series competition.
Frisch, Hoyt Only Survivors.
ONLY two players-Frankie Frisch
of the Cards and Waite Hoyt of
the Pirates-are veterans Of the first
Yankee Giant series who still are
active. Back in 1921. Frisch played
for the Giants and Hoyt pitched for
the Yanks.
In the opening game the Yanks
won behind the five-hit pitching OF
Carl Mays, 3 to 0, and Frisch got four
of those hits. In the second game
Hoyt pitched another shutout by CIV
ing up only two hits, of which Frisch
got one.
That was the last year Of the
nine game series and eventually
the Giants got going and won
five Of the last six games to win
the championship. The only
other game the Yankees won
was pitched by Hoyt, who tri.
umphed by q 3-to-1 count.

~HICAGO, September IA
Promise of clearing skies gave
rise to new National hopes
for the White Sox's second
place position today, but shine as the
sun might, the Griffmen already are
suspecting that maybe they took a
trimming on this final invasion Of
the Windy City.
Despite the fact that Jimmy Dykes
happiness boys have won IA of 1s
games from Washington this season,
the Mats have figured on the law OF
averages and their own improvement
turning the tables during this series.
They even had hopes of sweeping
q three-game set, feat that might
we'll have insured the Griffs Of $1,000
apiece as second-place dough, now
that Henry Ford has kicked in $780,
900 for radio rights on the world

Now, however, only 81 games will
be played with the White Sox, who
wind up their campaigning with
Washington with today's double
header, if played. Rain. beating
down steadily yesterday, caused can
collation. of a double-hea and
forced the two games to be moved
back to today, thereby losing single
game which might, in the final analy-
sis, prove important.
Schedule Favors White Sox.
As A result of the rain' the re-
mainder of the American League
schedule is all in favor of the White
Sox, who are considered by the Ma
tionals as the team to beat for second
place. Compared with the Nationals,
they have snap ahead of them. al
though the Dykesmen have one more
game to play than Washington.
Holding a lead of a game and a
half this morning, Chicago has l3
games to play yet, and more than half
of these to be exact-are with the
Browns. And next to the Nationals
themselves, Chicago has played most
successful against the Hornsby men,
winning II of Is games so far.
Following todays double-header
with the Griffs, Dykes crew will face
the Yankees twice, the Indians twice
and the Browns seven times. Five Of
the St. Louis games will be played on
the banks of the Missouri. The Ma
tional, on the other hand, have far
tougher slate ahead of them. After
today they will invade st. Louis for
a two-game series and then move to
New York for a three-game set with
the Yanks. After that, at home they
will face the Red Sox three times and
the Yankees twice. They. too. have
preyed on the Browns this year, but
they will get only two more chances,

CARDS AND LA SALE
TO BANK ON PASSES

Catholic UniverSity'S football
stadium is going to be thick
with forward passes Saturday, if
the type of offenSe the Cardinal
eleven is now using in polishing
up for the invading La Sale Col
lege team can be used as a
gauge. Throughout the week
when the varsity team was on
the offensive against the froSh
crew, passes were the menu for
the day.
And from the reports turned
in by Scout Tom Whelan. who
looked over the Explorers last
week in Buffalo against Canisius,
La Sale is going to rent the
ozone with similar barrage OF
aerial heaves. In other words,
the game will resemble an aerial
circus.
The reason for this is the fact
that both teams have extraordl-
narily powerful and heavy forward
walls, which will be able to stand
the smasheS of the backs. Natu-
rally. when a running attack is
stopped. team Immediately takes
to the airways. La Sale and Cath
olic U. each possess a line that
scales in the neighborhood Of 1875
pounds. and if both fail to pen
citrate Saturday an air battle is
a certainty.
In Harry (Josh) Williams, the
Explorer team boasts of one o. the
best forward passers in the history
of the grid sport at La Sale. This
lad is a big fellow, scaling in the
neighborhood of 1875 pounds, and
is as quick as an eyelash at get
ting off his heaves. In the two
games played so far this season
by La Sale, and which the Phila-
delphia team won handily, Will
liams' passes have resulted directly
in four scores. A fifth pass, good
for 27 yards, brought the ball on
the CanisiuS 1-foot line last week.
whence Williams, himself, pushed
