INJURIES STRIKE
CLUBS IN STRETCH
May Decide American Loop
Champs; Yanks Lose Hen
rich On Eve Of Series

NEW YORK, Sep. 9.-lR-Injur-
les, which wrecked the National
leagues pennant competition this
year, now are liable to decide the
frenzied fight in the American
league.
The world champion Yankees
learned today that Tommy Hen
rich would be lost for the rest of
the season because of torn liga-
ments in his left knee, hurt Satur-
day.
Besides being one of the best de-
fensive rightfielders in the league,
Heinrich was the only Yank be-
sides Joe DiMaggio hitting above
300 and the effect of his loss vir-
tually on the eve of New York's
series with Cleveland and Detroit
hardly can be estimated.
Yet this break was no worse
than the trouble that has logged
many major league outfits all sea-
son and recently has nipped both
the Tigers and Indians.
Just before the recent Cleveland
Detroit series the Tigers lost their
c%enterfield star, Barny McCosky,
who vas leading the team in hit
ting. He pulled some muscles in
his side trying to make a diving
catch at Chicago a week ago Tues
day and his only action since has
been one appearance as a pinch
hitter.
Third Baseman Pinky Higgins,
suffering from multiple ailments,
has been out for the same period.
and catcher Billy Sullivan h a S
been subbing for him. But the tt
gers have fought more ferociously
and Won five straight without
them.
In the first clash of the Indians
and Tigers Hal Trosky, Cleveland's
big first baseman, hit a home run
and a single, then tripped over
third base and sprained an ankle.
He hasn't played since and the
club has bordered on collapse.
The pressure now is on the
Yanks to see what they can do
with an important cog gone. They
recalled Mike Chartak from Ne
wark today, but Manager Joe Nc
Carthy probably will try to get
along with George (Twinkletoes)
Selkirk, hitting 1854, in Henrich's
spot. /

Strands, Pittman Among Is
Recruits To Squad; Hard
Practice Session Staged

New Hanover high schools foot
ball stock went up another notch
or two yesterday afternoon when
several members of last years
Wildcat squad reported for prac.
tice with the opening of school.
Coach Bob Black issued uni.
forms to Is newcomers to the
squad and at least three teams
went through a hard practice ses.
sion that lasted from 2 to $50
o'clock.
Elverton Curly" Stands, the
Wildcats great climax running sub
back of last season, reported for
duty and a years experience and
a summer of hard work has
polished this lad into around 100
pounds of speed and finesse.
Stands was used by the coaches
last year in the dying minutes of
many games to pull the fat out of
the fire and on most occasions
came through in great style.
Sweeping end runs r his spe-
cialty and he is expected to fill the
shoes of the graduated Johnny
Smidt, triple threat back. of 1889.
Billy Pittman, 1875 pound guard,
was a reserve last year, but saw
service in practically every game.
He has been working hard all sum-
mer working off exces flesh
around the m%id-section 'anc should
make a fast, hard blocking guard.
Wetzel Holt, shifted from tackle
to end last year near the seasons
close, was in uniform yesterday
for the first time and put in an
afternoon of tough grinding. Holt
has been tossing cases of canned
goods and other groceries around
all year and is in top shape for
the long grind.
The end situation is still the
problem child with several young
hopefuls working for the spot. Bob
''Ta Ia" Biddle, long and lanky
squad member of last year, is put
ting in his bid for a berth.
Clifford McIver, under-study to
Adrian Rhodes last year, has add
ed much weight in his legs and
shoulders and has hardened con-
siderably since last season. He will
in all probability get the aod for
the starting post at center with a
number of recruits on hand to fill
in. McIver started several games
last season when Rhodes vas on
the casualty list so he has some
valuable experience behind him.
Tiny Taylor, 230 FOUNDER from
Chapel Hill, has rejoined the squad
and tackles any job given him to
do. Taylor should be able to fill
the tackle position on M side of
the line with the greatest of ease
and this lad is fast for a giant Of
his weight.

land Indians out of first place today,
passing out only four hits as the
Chicago White Sox slammed a 2 to 1
victory down upon the slump.ridden
Tribesmen.
The idle Detroit Tigers thus took
over first place by a half game and
the fast-climbing New York Yam
KEGS. who open a two-game series
here tomorrow, face the Indians only
a half-game behind.
Lee exerted his mastery over the
Indians and their starter, southpaw
Harry Eisenstat, before rs, 900 empty
and 1000 occupied seast in Cleve-
lands lakefront stadium.
1t was the unhappy Indians sew
enth defeat in eight starts.
The game wasn't even as close as
the o indicates. The Sox, who
won only five of their previous 81
starts against the Tribe this year,
made II hits off Eisenstat and his
ninth-inning successor, Joe Dobson.
Three Of the blows came in the
fourth inning, when the Chicagoans
scored their first run.
With one out, Joe Kuhel singled
past Eisenstat to center field. Ju-
Illus Solters, who takes great delight
in beating his old teammates, also
singled sharply to right field, Kuhel
stopping at second.
A slight drizzle started to fall, add
ing to the gloom which. hung over
the stadium all afternoon.
Luke Appling smacked a sharp
drive toward first base and Oscar
Grimes, subbing for the injured Hal
Trosky, bobbled it. The blow went
for a single and clogged the sacks
although Second Baseman Ray
Mack, just behind Grimes, probably
could have handled it for an out.
At that point Eisenstat lost his con.
troll and walked Taft Wright on four
straight pitches to force in the first
run,

COMMON COURTESY
AS 1t Applies To Boys
BY APP FEATURE SERVICE

If you're a boy who would like
to find Z way Of being sure of
yourself on all sorts of occasions,
start now.
Now let's have it understood
you do not classify as sissy just
because you know the ropes in
etiquette
You can do a lot to make liv-
ing more comfortable and pleas
ant for the people you know by
using plain common sense.
That goes for things like turn
ing out lights when you're the
last person in a room.
Singing In The Shower
Dent let doors bang behind
yo@. If you make habit of clos
rig a door quietly, you're being
considerable of others.
Do your bathtub singing when
your sister isn't trying to dress
for her date.
You'll profit from the coopera-
ton. You'll be developing a hab-
it of doing for the other person
what you expect him to do for
you.
Even if you're the only boy in
the family, don't expect everyone
else to be your servant. Make
yours MISUNDERSTANDING
home.
Make Mother A Best Girl
A chore or two helps develop a
sense of responsibility.
Learning to hang your pants SO
they won't wrinkle will keep you
looking more up-to-the-minute
and save some pressing and clean
ing, bills, too.
Some courtesies like seating
Mother when Dad isn't home will
make you feel perfectly natural
when the time comes to seat
your best girl
There's. a lot of comfort in
practicing politeness. It's almost
a sure way of avoiding that silly
OVERRIDING. too.
