Battle Today

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The Giants
today opened the final series OF
their Western tour at st. Louis
and by virtue of three victories in
four games over the Cubs here
were not only odds-on favoriteS to
take the Cards but to move on
into the World Series.
With chance to even the series,
the Cubs made three errors in the
series final, played on a muddy
field after the game was held up
by rain, and the Giants went on
to a 7-to-4 decision, despite & dis"
parity in the hitting that gave the
Cubs an edge by IA bingles to IL:
Manager Bill Terry and Mel
OFT each hit a double in the fifth
when the Giants scored four
runs. Pitchers were manhandled
throughout, the Giants using
three and the Cubs five.
The Giants now hold an edge
of four games over the Cards and
five over the Cubs. The Cards
were idle yesterday.

Owens yesterday signed a con.

any agreements ForkinS may sign
for him.
F'orkinS said one offer received
would guarantee Owens 5000 a

Another might net more than
that sum for a series Of races

star of the 1892 Olympics, at

retained his amateur standing, but
he was dubious that the Western

Regardless Of what develops
Bucky HarUs is to be commended
for playing both his young men.
If they're worth their keep, now is
the time to find out. If they're
not worth their keep, Harris never
will know sooner.
Just so far as these rockies
hunting the first division
chances" of the club is concerned,
we have little if anything to fear.
If the Griffs are going to finish
in the first division-and in this
league it should be easy-theyn
finish there with your Aunt Kate
at second and your maternal
grandmother at third. The Ameri-
can League this year is nothing to
excite acclaim.
Certain it is that both Mihalic
and Sington did about all you
could ask of two young men in
any ball game. Mihalic made
three hits. Sington made a couple
of clean hits and both played er-
rorleSS ball.
Makes Nice Catch
Sington pleased the crowd in
the second inning when he charged
in fast to take Carey'S fly on the
dead run. It was a one-handed
effort and was all right. Mihalic's
fielding chances were run of the
garden sort, calling for no highly
specialized skill.
Sington whacked solidIy to CEN
ter in the second inning and put
Stone in position to score. In the
sixth inning Sington drove Lewis
over the plate and put Stone in
position to follow him. Sington
had one throw to make, and his
effort was all right.
Neither of Mthalic's first two
hits figured in the scoring. He
opened the fifth frame with a
single to left. but was left on base.
He singled in the seventh inning
with two out, setting up a run to
be scored, but Walt Miles forced
Mihalic at second and that was
that.
For that matter, Mihalic'S third
hit didn't figure in the scoring,
but it started out real well.
Travis was the first hitter in the
eighth inning, and he slapped a
single to right. Mihalic followed
with a we'll meant effort to hit to
right field, but somehow or other,
he missed fire. Then switching to
his natural hitting style, Mihalic
belted one into left field and
moved Travis to second.
Mihalic confirmed yesterday
what men familiar with his style
have long contended. He is a
confirmed pull hitter; the type
that will hit into left field most
of the time. His effort to crack
down the right field foul line was
The Washington times., 1936-09-02

interesting, and continued efforts
to confound the defense should be
made. If Mihalic can develop the
art of hitting to right field he
will greatly enhance his value to
the team.
Tigers are In Town
We know that Mihalic starts
well, but all estimates of his speed
must be from memory. He had
no chance to go from first to third
on any of his three blows.
What is important beyond the
call Of five hits by two rockies
is the fact that Harris is willing
to appraise the ability of his new
men this year instead Of fighting
doggedly for whatever position his
veterans may win.
If, conditions warrant in Subse-
quent series, Harris can go back.
That is true of anything. 1t al.
ways easy to go back. But go
ing forward is the thing. Harris
went forward yesterday, march
ing on in step with time.
The Detroit Tigers move into
Griffith Stadium today, making
their last stand here for 1886.
Standard bearers of a lost cause,
the Bang-alls are ever colorful and
interesting. A team that includes
in it's list men of the stripe of
Charley Gehringer, Goose Goslin
and Gerry Walker must always be
interesting.
Mickey Cochrane will be with
the team, but Mickey is counting
the days to the end of the season.
He will fit to the Orient on an er-
tended tour in search of health.
He has done little since his col
lapse at Griffith Stadium in June,
