Di Maggie Is Players Choice.

HARRY HOOPER's work in 1912
and 1916 won two inches in the
series hall Of fame. Hooper was a
right fielder, and so were Kiki Cuyler,
Babe Ruth and Bing Miller, who also
were named. Left fielders to make
the Helm Olympic list were Duffy
Lewis, George Whiteman, Goose Cos
lin and Powell. Third basemen were
four-Rohe, Steinfeldt, Home Run Ba-
ker and Heinie Groh.
The only shortstop to make the
grade was Mark Koenig in 1927, when
he played for the Yanks against Pitts
burgh, and was instrumental in VIC
tory. The only catcher was Hank
Gowdy, when he played for the Braves
in 1914 against the Athletics and then
decided to pick up gun and go to
war. And the only center fielder on
the list is Pepper Martin, whose feats
in the 1881 series against the AS and
Mickey Cochrane, are recalled as easi-
ly as the deeds Of Powell and Hubbeil
a year ago.
The tip is out among Ameri-
can ball players that q center
fielder may steal the show this
year.
They mean Joe Di Maggie. Up to
now Di Mag has played in hard luck
in All-Star and series clashes. They
figure that the law Of averages and
Jolting Joe's ability will remedy mat
tiers In the future.
And isn't that logical enough?

Horace Eller, who won both of the
games he pitched for Cincinnati
against the White Sox, was the next
Helms- Olympic hero. He came in
1919, nine years apart from Combs,
but the following year the pedestal
held another hurler in Stanley Cov-

~HEY were to ring down the
curtain on the Washington
base ball firm today at the
L stadium, and as far as the
local trade directly is concerned, a
year of weighty disappointments, was
to wind up and blend into an or
season Of prospective rebuilding plans
and moves.
With the Red Sox as the opposition,
Bucky Harris Mats were to make their
last stand at Mr.. G.'s ballyard in a
double-header When it was over the
1897 Griffs were due to head for a
final series in Philadelphia and thence
home. And, the chances are that you
won't be seeing several Of them next
year.
joey Kuhel, for instance, probably
is wearing a National uniform for the
last time. So may be Al Simmons.
Buddy Myer definitely is not an g.
to-5 bet to return. Whether such as
Fred Sington, Ed Linke, sgd Cohen,
Pete Appleton and few others will
be working for Mr.. Grif1ith Is a spec
ulative topic.
Anyway, today is the end Of major
league base ball in Washington for
another year. The Mats, picked by
many to run in the first division and
by few even to win the pennant, are
destined for sixth place, two notches
under their 1886 standing. The team
that was to have been better was
weaker. That probably is the simplest
way TO say 1t.

Bucky One Of Second Sackers,


A FTER Alex the next pitching hero
was George Earnshaw Of the AS,
in 1880. For his brilliant work in the
1888 series against Washington, Long
Pants Hubbell was given the halo.
And in 1884 Paul Dean tyeah, Paul.
was the Helms Olympic hero. That
was the Fall that Detroit lost to the
Cards.
Frank Chance and Lou Gehrig are
the only first basemen to rank on the
list. Chance was the big gun in the
1908 series between the Cubs and Ti-
gers and Gehrig was the man of the
hour in 1921 matter Of "a years
apart.
Five second basemen have stood out
in the series. Eddie Collins did it
twice-in 1918 and again in l917-for
the AS and for the White Sox. John
Rawlings OF the Giants emerged from
the 1921 battle with the Yankees as
the hero and there was Aaron Ward
Va eAAS oiiho LII 1870, dilQ d ltllOW
by the name Of Bucky Harris in 1924.
Bucky's heroics in that Wash
ingt0n Giants series have been
overlooked from time to time.
After all, Muddy Ruel's first hit, a
double, did lead to the run that won
the championship. And old Walter
johnson finally won series game.
But Harris it was who made IL hits
in 33 times at bat for a 1893 average.
who scored the winning run in the
fourth game, whose hitting and field
ing were the deciding factors in the
sixth game, and whose three hits,
including home run, had something
to do with the Mats 4-to-3 win in the
final skirmish.

A Man-fOr Man Analysis.

NEITHER gentleman is telling the
clean, sweet. unspeckled truth.
Both are lying and hoping for the best,
and If We want to get an accurate no.
ton of how the ball clubs compare,
we had better do the work ourselves,
beginning at the beginning and lining
up the players side by side.
At first base-There is no contest
here. 1t would be days work for
Slap-Jack Mccarthy of the Giants
to carry Gehrigs bat to the plate
Mccarthy is fancier afield, but Geh-
rigs coolness and experience give him
the fielding edge for the series. In
hitting, it's not an edge that Gehrig
has got. it's the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado.
At second base-Tony Lazzeri will
outhit Burgess Whitehead, the Giant
operative. Tony is rested and strong
for this series. 1t figures to be his
last big stand. But defensively, the
vote is Whiteheads. He and Bartell
are tighter than a drumhead around
the bag. They'll shut off runs. All
in all, it's standof between Mr..
Lazzeri and the kid from Phi Beta
Kappa, which is somewhere south of
Poland.
At shortstop-Bartell by a short
head, at bat and in the field. The
other fellows name is Frank Cros-
setti. He's pretty good.
At third base-Here you have a
quandary, and a healthy quandary
too, all muscle and no fat. Melvin
OFT is promising third baseman. He
can slug. Red Rolfe is no slugger,
but he hits well in the crises and he'll
handle chances at third that might
handcuff Ottie. Call it even.
In left f1eld-Joe Moore of the
Giants has slight margin over the
combination of Jake Powell and Myril
Hoag. It amt much of q margin,
but such as it is, it's Joseph's, to do
with as he pleases.
Evening star., 1937-09-30

Giants the call here. They may give
it right back to me.
AS for relief pitching, each club has
an able hand-Johnny Murphy for
the Yanks and Dick Coffman for the
Giants. That's a draw.
These man-for- statistics show
the Yankees superior In four posi-
tions, the Giants in three (including
pitching, and the two teams even in
the other two spots. 1t doesn't mean
a great deal. It's simply the first step
in the doping Of the series
There will be lots of further doping
before next Wednesday. But just to
relieve the suspense, which must be
getting pretty painful, I will hint
here and now that the better club
is the one owned by certain promi-
nent beer manufacturer, who must re-
main nameless, but whose friends call
him Jake.

A School For the Giants.

TN CENTER field-There are three
Giant center fielders, named Leiber,
Berger and Chiozza, and one Yankee
center fielder, named Joe Di Maggie.
This series will be very valuable to
Leiber, Berger and Chiozza, educa-
tionally. All they have to do is watch
and learn.
In right field-Again the Yankees
have a combination, Henrich-Selkirk,
against one Giant, Jimmy Ripple
Each Yankee is Ripple's equal, hitting
and fielding. and the fact that they
can reinforce each other gives the
Yankees the advantage here.
Catching-Bill Dickey is the best
catcher in the series, but the Giant
pair, Gus Mancuso and Harry Dan
ming. is not to be sneezed at This is
fair warning to sneezers. They won't
stand for it.
Pitching-In way, the pitching
department is as important as all the
other departments combined. The
Giants have two-man staff for series
purposes, Melton and Hubbell. Schu-
macher might win, but I wouldn't bet
on it. The Yanks have three good
workmen, Gomez, Ruf1ng and Pear
son. Gomez probably is the best
pitcher in either camp, just now. In
spite of all of which, give the

Alex Won't Be FORGOTTEN.


-FOUR more pitchers were destined
a to join this group. In 1925 there
was old Grover Alexander and behind
his ascension to the throne for a year
lies probably the best of the series
stories.
Alex, you know, already had won two
games In the series between the Car
dinals and Yankees that year. On the
afternoon of the last game Alex ambled
unsteadily to the bull-pen. He had
won the sixth game of the series,
tying it, and old Alex was supposed
to have done . little celebrating.
So 1t came that Jess Haines, the
Card starter In the final game, got
into serious trouble in the eighth
inning. The Yankees loaded the
bases. Two were out and Tony Laz-
zeri was at bat. Rogers Hornsby, who
was managing the Cards, called time
and waved to the bull-pen.

edif1ce from which the horse was
stolen some time last week by Will
liam H. Terry and his New York

That's what the Cubs are doing.
The Giants are printing world series

over his head instead, and pay his
agents $4,000 apiece for their work.
The Giants will meet the Yankees
In the world series. starting Wednes-
day, October 6. Cliff Melton, a south
paw with the ear-spread of class j

the Giants, and Lefty Gomez, the

Yanks are favored at to S for the
first game, 2 to l for the series.
Both managers, Mr.. Terry and Mr..

Never Hit 4 500 Pace.

TT is whispered that next year Jimmy
Wasdell or Zeke Bonura, now with
the White Sox, will play first base
for Washington. 1t is said that SIM
mons will go or gracefully accept an
astounding salary and serve ss a utility
outfielder. They gossip, even, that
Myer may play for Chicago in 1887.
AS they bow out, the Griffs are no
more proud Of themselves than their
severest critics. Here and there pleas
antries were recorded. By now, for
instance, it is established that Buddy
Lewis is q confirmed major league
star and Cecil Travis is something
more than an average hitter. Johnny
Stone still is going strong, after a
decade In the American League, and
rockies like Joe Krakauskas, Ken
Chase and Ray Phebus promise much
for 1887.
But. as whole, the Mats Just did not
have 1t this year. Not once during
the campaign did they play at the
pace expected over any decent stretch.
Their longest winning streak easily
was voided by l0-game losing streak
during the middle of the season.
Washington never reached 500 per-
centage from start to finish.

Some Mats on Way Home.

THE less said Of the nightcap the
better. The Mats committed three
Of their five errors in the first inning
and these boots, together with four
Red Sox hits of Pete Appleton, gave
Boston 4 4-to-0 lead that was never
lost.
Appleton was yanked after the Sox
went ahead, SO, in the second In
ming. Thereafter Rookie Arnold An
derson did the Washington throwing.
The big boy scattered five hits over
the last seven innings and gave up
two runs.
The Griffs succeeded In driving
Rookie Jim Henry, who started for
Boston, from the box. That was in
the fifth inning, when they pulled up
to 5-4. But Johnny Marcum came to
the rescue and Buddy Myers single
in the ninth inning was the only hit
they got of Marcum in the last four
and one-third innings.
Some Of the Mats already are home
ward bound. Melo Almada, who has
q bad leg, has been granted permis-
sion to 60 home. and so has Krakaus-
kas. After he pitches today Wes Fer
rell probably will leave, too.
