By Orioles Howell,
CIouting 1853
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Dusty
Cooke, the Rochester Red Wings
hitting star, lost the trail again in
his race for the International
League batting championship and
Murray Howell of the Baltimore
Orioles crept from behind to take
the lead.
Howell, who was tied for third
a week ago. boosted his percentage
eight points to 1858 while Cookies
mark wilted six degrees to 1856.
Cooke, however, obtained the lead
in doubles during the week with IS.
Based on participation in 80 or
more games. The other leaders
were: Maurice Van Robays, Mont
real, $50; Jim Oglesby,. Buffalo,
.339; John Dickshot, Jersey City,
1856; Lou Boudreau, Buffalo, .334;
Mickey Witek, Newark, 1888; Jack
Sturdy, Rochester, $3.50; Dick West,
Baltimore, 1924, and Joe Martin,
Buffalo, 1923.
BOudreau scored Cne mOSC runs,
88, and collected the most base hits,
1856.
The Bisons rounded out their po-
sition among the leaders with the
veteran Ollie Carnegie having the
most home runs, 81, and the most
runs batted in, IS, and AL Smith
leading the pitchers with 8 victories
and 2 defeats.

Pitchers
Seen as Poison
To Yankees
Champs Figured Just
Another Club When
Facing Slab Aces
BY WHITNEY MAkTIN,


NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A private
impression is growing that when, or
maybe it still should be if, the Yam
KEGS meet the Cincinnati Reds in the
World Series this fall the Mccarthy
men will be anything but the sure
things they have been rated in re-
cent years.
The idea is based on the suspicion
that the New York club has an
Achilles heel, and that faced by
good pitching it is just another ball
club trying to get along. And the
Reds pitching staff isn't exactly
tossing quoits this season.
The recent series with Detroit, in
which the Tigers took two out of
three, added to the impression that,
while the Yanks might tee of a lit
tie better than any other team when
the opposing hurlers are tossing in
home-run balls, a clever pitcher can
make them resemble Mother Hub
bard.
We saw the second game, and the
manner in which Schoolboy Rowe
made Joe Di Maggie and his team
mates beat a path back and forth
from the bench to the plate was a
caution. Bill Dickey got hold of one
for home run, and Di Maggie got
a loud foul which missed being good
for the circuit by a few feet, but
otherwise the Schoolboy was the
teacher, and the Yanks didn't know
the answers.
Rowe hasn't been setting the
league af1re this year, but that day
he was master. His change of pace
baffied, leaving the batsmen often
looking very silly indeed as they
poked too soon or too late at ball,
Ike man reaching for a straw hat
just as 1t sails under a truck.
In one inning three New Yorkers
went down on strikes as the tall.

wagging almost continually in futile
protest against the plate umpire's S
decisions. nipped the corners with
that suffering delivery.

example Of how a good pitcher can
silence the Yankee bats. The New
Workers looked at some pretty fair
chucking when they met the Red Sox
not so long ago, and the Red Sox
took five straight.
Naturally, the argument is that the
Yankees have managed to win quite
a few games. But the answer to
that is that goodly portion of their
victories can be traced to a defense
second to none. and some fair coun-
try pitching on the part of their
own men.
All of which doesn't mean that
McCarthy's batting order isn't dan
gerous from Frank Crosetti on down,
but it does mean that they have as
much trouble against good pitching
as the Elm Street Tigers. They are
just little more potent against poor
pitching than their American League
rivals, that's all.
And when, or again, if, they 60
against the Walters and the Der
ringers and the Thompsons Bill Nc
Kechnie can toss in against them,
they are going to need all their de-
fensive skill and the best perform
ances of their Rulings and Donalds.
