IN ETRoTT, Mich, September
10.-The general note Of
tragedy attached TO the 1885
- American League pennant
chase was, Of course, the lack Of COM
petition received by the Yankees. The
individual tragedy, If you can believe
what you read, was that connected
with our William Ben Chapman, one
time stormy petrol of the New Yorks.
How does it feel to be traded right
out of the world series?-to lose Sc, 900
you already had spent" on paper.
Only today Ben was reading in a
New York paper how he talked him.
self off the Yanks. There were tear
jerking words in every paragraph.
Ben grinned and his eyes were dry.
It's the best break 1 ever
had, honestly" he was saying.
"Six thousand bucks Is quite
sock, but when say I'm glad,
mean 1t. This is not trying
to talk myself out Of the
dumps
"The averages prove it, and maybe
they prove, too, that my failure to
stay in New York wasn't all my fault.
I'm on my way to the best season I
ever had-batting 1921, stealing my
share of bases and batting across rs
runs as a lead-off man. Look at the
other lead-of hitters and their runs
batted-in totals Larry, Al; Cros-
setti, SO, Finney, 80.
Harris Tops As Manager.
I'VE got a chance to hit SO or more
doubles this year and If I keep
hitting this will be my best average
year. The best ever hit with the
Yanks was .313."
There is at once a note of sincerity
and bitterness in Chapman's sum-
nation. All New York blamed him for
his outbursts of temperament, but
Ben believes more understanding
manager could have helped. "One
like Bucky Harris" he says There's
the big reason why like to play for
Washington, although the fans have
been great to me.
Bucky understands guys.
Some of them, like myself, are
hard to handle, but II anybody
doesn't want to play ball for
Harris, he certainly doesn't
want to play very much.
"Up at New York, Mccarthy took
me aside and ordered me to change
my batting stance. Stand up there
facing the pitcher like Cronin and
McNair,' he said. That's the only way
you can hit"
II tried to do it. My average, when
was traded, was .260., Now and

Red Kress Is Big Hero.

STARI1NG an almost lUU per cent
right handed hitting line up
against Rookie Jake Wade, who held
Washington to only three hits week
before, Harris sat back and watched
the re-arranged gang come through
with great Garrison finish.
It was the old story Of the tortoise
and the hare. For three innings Wade
faced only nine batters. Not until the
fourth did the Griffs get hit and the
successful gent, Hill, died on base
without advancing. In the meantime
our Joe Cascarella was nicked for a
20 lead in the third.
Then in the fifth frame the Griffs
began to ffnd the range. They scored
two runs to tie it up, %. In the sixth
Sington doubled and Red Kress
whammed a terrific home run that
would have landed high up in even the
distant bleachers at Griffith Stadium
That made it AZ.
The Tigers had another rally in
their systems and came back in their
half of the sixth to again tie the score,
this time at A.
Cascarella Wins Eighth Game.
MOT for naught did Harris put
Kress on short instead o. Travis,
however, and again it was the mel
lowing redhead who started the Griffs
on scoring spree. In the eighth in
ming Red led off and laid into another
of Wade's fast balls to drive it out of
the park. Mihalic followed with sin
gle and, after Cascarella had walked.
Ben Chapman drove another homer
over the fence to boost the score
10 8-4.
In the ninth the home-run craze
still was strong. With one down Sing
ton lined one into the right field
bleachers and the Tigers went to
pieces, finally yielding three more runs.
Cascarella needed no more help
after Kress' second sock. Mixing up
his slow curves with an occasional
fast ball, he turned in another steady
job for his eighth pitching victory
since joining the Mats. And to think
that Grif took $4,000 in cash, as well
Is Cronin' Joe, for Jack Russell.

FLAG OUTFIT BIDS
FOR LOOP RECORD
Has Good Chance to Excel
'27 Win Margin-Giants'
Lead Suffers Cut.
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n VOW that the Yankees have the
American League pennant
" sewed up tight in their coll
\ lective hip pocket, all that re-
mains is for the Giants and Cardinals
to fight it out for the National League
flag and the chance to take on the
homicide squad in the world series.
But, whether it's Bill Terry's league
leading Terriers or frankie Frisct's
Gas House Gang, which is AZ games
behind today, they can expect little
consideration from the Yankees, who
clinched the flag yesterday at one
of the earliest dates in major league
history and with one Of the biggest
leads.
No sooner had they knocked of
the Indians in both ends of a twin
bill, 11-3 and 1873, than Manager
Joe Mccarthy told his "murderers'
row" to get ready to take the world
series in four straight games"
Chance at New Record.
I'VE been on pennant-winning ball
clubs before" he shouted over
the jubilation in the club house, but
this is one of the biggest thrills of
my life. I want you all to know I
appreciate how you all hustled this
year. And now let's go out and
make it four straight in the series"
Outsiders in the preseason beeting,
which favored the Tigers, Red Sox
and Indians, the Yanks piled up the
tremendous lead Of 10 games over the
second-place White Sox when they
finally put the title on ice. The only
thing in the books to beat that in the
American League is the 19-gams pace
Babe Ruth and his Yankee company
set in 1927 in taking the flag. This
years crew still has 16 games to go to
catch that mark.
The Yankees last won a pennant
in 1932-also in Cleveland and also
under McCarthy's direction.
Three On, Gehrig Homers.
THE clinching process of '36 was
ably accomplished by Monte
Pearson's eight-hit pitching in the
first game, and then, just to put the
screws on, Lou Gchrig set the pace
in the nightcap by betting out homer
No A with bases loaded and drove
in seven runs.
The Cardinals shaved a half game
of the oiSsts' National League Lead
by outlasting the Boston Bees, 81,
in Is innings, while the Giants could
get no better than an even break in
their double bill with the troublesome
Cincinnati Reds. winning the opener,
AZ, and dropping the nightcap, 30.
Lippy Leo Durocher's five hits and
Jim Winford's effective pitching gave
the Cards the decision in Boston.
Freddy Fizsimmons stopped the Reds
cold with eight hits in the first game
in New York, but in the nightcap
Harvey Walker drove in all the Reds
runs for the victory.

CTEVE ONEILL, only few days

Griffs tonight will entrain for Cleve-

. hamlet the Griffs liked to invade,
but in view of recent happenings
there is new confidence on this ball
club-that is, believing it is destined
to collect the second biggest hunk of
dough in Will Harridges' league.
For one thing, Bucky Harris is
finding he has man-power galore
these days. Leading his biggest squad
of the season, Bucky is finding all
manner of opportunists waiting to
step into the breech and do their
bits. Red Kress has been the latest
and before him was Jess Hill, Carl
Reynolds. Fred Sington, Ray Phebus
and Johnny Mihalic, to name few.
Kress, who perennially becomes "the
forgotten man." remembered himself
to everybody yesterday as the Ma
tionals came from behind and buried
the Tigers in the opener Of a two
game series under an avalanche of
home runs, winning II to 4.

today with new emphasis on the pur-

as bright as they do now. Starting
their final Western swing of the year,
Washington has met Detroit, con-
quered and refused to be impressed.
Over in Cleveland yesterday, the
Yankees not only clinched the pen
nant, but won double-header from
the Indians to send the clan of Steve
ONeill toppling into fifth place. This
double setback, on top of Cleveland's
many reverses of late, has caused the
Griffs to believe that. of all rivals
Tor second place, Chicago stands out.
The White Sox, while all this was
happening, proved the Griff's fear
of them somewhat justified by beating
the Red Sox and holding the runner
up spot, a game ahead of Washington,
which climbed into undisputed third
place.

.$4O,OOO ACTION
 GETS UNDER WAY
Seymour Residents Claim Serious Injuries in Auto
 Crash

Trial of the $4O,0O0 civil actions of Joseph Madigosky and William Smey of Seymour against Arthur and Elizabeth Bender began before Judge Frank P. McEvoy and Q jury in superior court early this after noon. Polling of the jury was com- pleted only few minutes before noon.
 Madigesky asks $s5,O00 and smey seeks S500O for injuries sustained while riding in the Bendler car Oct. 21, 1894. The car, owned by Eliza beth Bendler and operated by Arth- ur Bender, was involved in a ser- ious accident on Amity road, Beth- any.
 Madigosky sustained compound lecture of the skull and other i1- juries, he claims, while Emey also charges he was seriously injured.
 The plaintiffs are represented by Attorneys Joseph N. Perelmutter of Seymour and David M. Reilly of New Haven. Defense attorneys are Attorneys Walter Monagan, ST. and Walter Monagan, Jr. of this city and M. M. Lund of Seymour.

 and then police and workers with- drew.
 Police made two additional at- tempts to wedge workers through the "chain line" pickets. Only six men got through the lines.
 No One Injured
 The clashes were confined mostly to pushing and pulling. No one was reported injured. The officers oper- ated under strict orders not to use violence unlses absolutely necessary. They had only regular equipment, which did not include tear gas.
 The two plants employ approx iTnately i3,000 men in production lines. Plant 2, the smaller, was closed by a "sit-down" strike last Friday. The four-day week in effect did not call for resumption of work until this morning.
 Tn plant l, tires builders started Q "sit.down" strike in sympathy with strikers at Plant 2. While workers in other divisions were on the job, their work was limited because the tire division was down.
 Crisis TS Serious
 The crisis was the most serious developed in the rubber industry since last April, when union workers threatened to fight for recognition. A strike was averted then at the last minute.
 Immediate cause of the present strike was the laying of of TO workers in the No. 2 plant last week. An employees plan for their rein- statement was rejected by the com pany with the explanation that 1t did not "see how 1t was possible to make further concessions"
 Tickets marched on the plant late last night after a meeting in the hall off Goodyear local, United Rub- Der Workers. In blizzardy weather, they established the so-called "cllain- -line," by linking their arms together at the entrance.
