This reversal of fortunes &C.
CURED yesterday at Navin Field
where the Griffmen laid a per
Sonal jinx by licking Left-handeo
Jake Wade, IL to 4, in the first
of a two-game series here.
The outcome was viewed with
the same disfavor by $500 fans
and sourly attributed to the
Griffmen'S newly developed nose
for dough, when as matter Of
fact it was all on account of
Nick Altrock's wrist watch.
Nick was sitting in the visiting
dugout with the rest Of the Sena-
tors expecting to get trounced
for the third time in a row by
freckled Jake Wade, who is
wilder than an Indian with a
jug of rum. But before the
game started, Nick was hauled
out of the dugout to stand
blinking at home plate in the
first Nick Altrock Day ever held
in his 40 years Of baseball.
The Century Post OF the Amer1-
can Legion presented Nick with
a gold wrist watch in honor Of
his sixtieth birthday which
doesn't arrive, incidentally, until
next Monday, September IA. The
presentation was made by Jimmy
Davidson, commander Of Century
Post, and was such a complete
surprise to Nick that he started
to eat the watch instead of wind
ing it.
That was the start Of the game
and it looked like the watch had
the wrong works for almost half
Of the game. Wade pitched to
only II men in the first four in
nings and by that time the Griff-
men were down, 2 to 0. Joe Cas-
carella pitched a base on balls to
Wade, singles to Burns, Goslin
and Simmons in the third inning
and it counted up two runs.
"Hey, yOuse guys" yelped
Nick holding his new watch in
one hand and his bum ticker
in the other. Here it is
o'clock and yOuse got only one
hit. It's the first Nick Altrock
Day in 40 years too. YOuse
can't do that to me-"
So Bluege, Mihalic and Hogan
went out and hit singles. Cas-

carella walked and Hill hit q
single and the score was tied.
That's more like it," grOwled
Nick, But my watch says you've
still l0afing. Let's see some
hitting"
So in the sixth, Freddie Sington
bounced a double off the score
board and Red Kress damaged 9
parked car in the Cherry Street
lot with a home run.
Nov you're clicking like q
Swiss movement" said Nick.
But the Tigers weren't run
down either. Gehringer parked
his fifteenth homer in the right
field balcony. Rogell walked.
Cascarella pegged Owen in the
waiStband and Wyatt singled the
tying run across the plate.
Nick pried open the back of
his watch, blew on the works and
muttered:
"NOw let's see what will hap
pen"
Nothing happened until the
eighth when Kress belted his
second home run over the left
field wall. Mihalic singled. With
two out, CaScarella walked and
Chapman, who had been losing
time like a water-Soaked dollar
watch, suddenly got the tempo
and blasted a homer over the
Scoreboard.
"This certainly is q sweet
watch" purred Uncle Nick.
eff they'd given it to me two
months earlier, Judge Lands
would have to autograph it for
the world series"
In the ninth Sington belted a
homer into the bleachers. Bluege
walked and the peerless Gehringer
booted Mihalic's grounder with two
out. Wade walked Shanty Hogan,
filling the bases and Cascarella
slugged in two more runs with q
single to left.
"ThiS certainly Is a great
watch" beloved Uncle Nick.

Writer


CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 10
Joe Mccarthy. whose Yankees
won the American League pen
nant yesterday by swapping the
Cleveland Indians twice, was EN-
phatic today on a couple OF
points.
First place, he just isn't talking
about the National League, or
whether the Giants are going tc
win the pennant in that outfit
or how the YankS are going to
fare in the World Series.
No Congratulations
And second, he's not passing
around any individual congratula'
tions in the Yankee ranks.
"How can 1 talk about the
SERIES" he said, when it's such
a long time off? / don't know
who's gonna win in the Ma
tiOnal League-a lot can hap
pen between now and then. 1
don't even know how we're
gonna be fixed by that time.
We may have injuries, any
number of things.
Gas for hoping the Giants
win so that the whole series is
played in New York, why 1t
doesn't make any difference to
me. OF course, I've got friends
in New York, but I've got
friends in st. Louis and Chi
cagO, too"
Mccarthy didn't appear partic-
ularly excited about the fact that
his club clinched the pennant at
the earliest date in the season in
the leagues history, and with a
margin of well nigh a score of
games. He did go so far as to
admit, however, that "of course,
it made us feel good, but we knew
we were going to, sooner or later. -
Praises Whole Club
The Yankees manager, who
has led his team to first or Sec
ond ranking position in the league
every year for the past six, waxed
eloquent on only one point.
ut was the whole ball club"
he said, earnestly, "that won the
pennant. The whole team has
the spirit to win"
