 New York, Sept. 28.-tUp)-Base- ball is a simple game, played by for the most part by simple folk, and Joe Mccarthy Is the games best manager because he respects these truths and handles his New York Yankees accordingly.
 This is the opinion of Sammy Byrd, the Alabama cracker who saw six years of service with the Tanks before swapping his spikes for cleats and his bat for a brassie. Sammy's a golf pro now, but even in the midst of his fight for a chunk of the $l3,500 prize money in the l0s-hole Westchester open 1t wasn't any trouble to get him talking base ball.
 Must Produce
 "You know, in all the time was with the Yankees 1 didn't hear five cents worth of master-minding talk. On the Yankees all they want to know is-can you hit that ball? Can you throw itP And can you run2 Those three things are all there Is to baseball, and if you can do them the so-called inside stuff doesn't make any difference. The National league managers try to be 50 smart they all still are trying to be John McGraw's in one way or an. other-that they ruin lot of good ball players.
 q know what I'm talking about. because after left the Tanks l had two years under Charley Dres- sen at Cincinnati. That Dressen was SO smart he figured himself right back into the minor leagues. Your average baseball player isn't a men, tai giant, you know. You can't give him too many things to think about If a player has natural ability the best thing to do is to reduce his worries as much aS possible, and just let him play the game the way he knows how"
 Sammy took time out to stuff his golf clothes in 6 duftle bag, and then continued.
 "strategy and tactics and deep stuff play minor parts with the Yam kees. No one worries much trying 10 make e left field hitter hit some- where else, or stuff like that. The usual order is get up there. Butch, and take a cut at that ball.
 "As e result the Tanks get more extra base hits and knock in more runs than any other team. Take the team this year. It isn't Q pow erhouse club, but 1t breezed to a pennant and will knock the Ma tional off in the series In about five games" =.
 sammy figures 1t will be two more years before he gets to the top as a professional golfer.
 q m hitting the ball pretty well right now, but there are @ thous. and little refinements in this golf that q fellow can't get over night" he said. T know e lot of people think I'm Q flop as Q golfer, but I'll show 'em. decided to quit base- ball when I found myself going down hill. figured might just as well get out of Q sport that I was losing ground in, and get in one where I could move forward. I'm not breaking even now, but I salted away c little of that money l inadt in baseball, and before it's used ur I'll be winning my share of those

Dizzy Dean Beats Pirates With Bad Arm; Sched-

BY GEORGE KTRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent)


 New York, Sept, 2S--(UP)-Al- most all the baseball world today gave whoop and hoiler and lined up solidly behind heroic Hank Greenberg and the gallant Chicago Cubs in their quest of laurels every one believed beyond their reach.
 With 68 homers Greenberg needs only three in five games to smash Babe Ruth's record of 60 made in 1927. Even the Bambino himself is pulling for Greenberg. T wish him luck" was the Babes comment when told of Greenberg's two hom- CTS yesterday.
 With eight straight victories, the Cubs were within half game of overhauling the league leading Pittsburgh Pirates in the sizzling National League race. Almost everywhere except in Pittsburgh baseball fans are roofing for 0ab- by Hartnett, the popular Irish pi- lot, to get his Cubs home in front and climax one of the greatest Sep-I tember drives in history. On Sept. 1 the Cubs were in fourth place, seven games from the top.
 Tanks For Cubs
 Even the New York Yankees, American League champions, are pulling for the Cubs. This possibly may be because of the larger gate which would result with the Cubs in the series. Among baseball fans, however, there is sentiment for the underdog and for team that can fight It's way up 6 tough trail with only two pitchers, Big Bill Lee and Clay Bryant, who have shouldered the mound burden between them the past month.
 Dizzy Deans grand performance which turned back the Pirates yes. terday, 2-l, also contributed in rousing fandom to cheer for the Cubs. Dean held the Pirates to seven hits in 8 2-3 innings. Hart nett took him out with two out fin the ninth because he was tired, Lee, who pitched and beat the Car dinals Monday, uncorked @ wild pitch to let in the only run. Then he famed Al Todd to end the game. The victory had its price as the Cubs lost Outfielder Augie Galan, who twisted his knee in sliding.
 With five games left to play. the Cubs still must win one more than the Pirates in their remaining six, to grab the pennant. If both clubs Win the same number of games Pittsburgh will finish in front. For instance if each team wins three games the standing would be:

Uniform Biddinq
Figures Gathered
In Trust Probe

WASHINGTON, June l6 up
The justice departments anti
trust division is compiling statis-
tics showing the extent of uniform
bidding on government contracts
and probably will introduce them
as part of President RooSevelt's
monopoly investigation.
For a year the department has
been gathering data of this nature
on scores of items, including steel
and iron products, paper, rubber,
meat, brass and bronze products
land cement. The survey is con-
tinuation of work begun last year
when Robert H. Jackson, now So
licitor general, was head of the di-
vision.
This revelation came shortly af-
ter Thurman Arnold, present anti
trust chief. outlined before a group
of advertising men at Detroit the
course he believes the investiga-
tions should take. Arnold probably
will be the justice departments
representative on the committee.
There has been no examination
of the antitrust law in connection
with labor legislation, tax legisla-
toin, securities and exchange legi-
station, credit control, all of which
deal with different phases of the
same industrial activities" Arnold
said.
