Detroit Outlook
Dark With FIaq
Crisis at Hand
Next 10 Doys Likely
To Settle Pennunt:
Reds Win Again
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The Detroit Tigers backed into
the last ditch today in their battle
for another American League PEN
nant.
They came to grips with the
front-running Cleveland Indians in
the first of nine games the two
clubs have left with each other, and
the prospect for Detroit was dis
heartening.
The Tigers lost their fourth
straight game yesterday as well as
the services of their star center
fielder, Barney McCosky, in a l0-2
debacle against the Chicago White
Sox. McCosky hurt his side diving
for fly ball and may be out a week.
They already had lost second place
to the New York Yankees. and there
wasn't much more for them to give
up, except hope.
With Bob Teller in the box for the
Indians today, there was at least a
good chance that this also would go
glimmering.
q
lot more than some of the experts,
so called, expected. But the chips
are really down in the junior cir
cult for the next 10 days.
Flag Crisis at Hand.
While the Tigers and Indians are
standing OF each other, or trying to,
the enrushang Yankees expect to
fatten themselves at the expense of
their favori.e stooges, the Washing
ton Senators. Then next week the
world champions will open their last
western tour at Cleveland and
swing right on into Detroit. Out of
these games the 1910 champion will
come
The National League standard
bearer no longer is in doubt. Gin
clnnati's hitless wonders have been
renominated practically without
opposition. The Reds squeezed past
the st. Louis Cardinals. 4-3, yester-
day to take an eight-game lead over
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Another Close One to Reds.
1t was the 32d time this year the
Reds had won by one run. They
were outhit again, 1873, but as usual
made the most of what they got.
Jimmy Ripple hit two-run homer,
and in the eighth inning 40-year-old
Jimmy Wilson, who had to forsake
coaching for sentative service after
the suicide of Willard Hershberger,
knocked home the winning run with
a double.
Detroit never had chance against
the White Sox, giving up seven runs
in the first inning. Fred Hutchinson
loaded the bases right at the start
with three walks and all of the
runners scored on two singles and
an error. That sort of thing kept
going on until IS Of the White Sox
had paraded to bat.
Jack Knott pitched shutout ball
until the ninth. but with the game
safely slowed away he relaxed and
let in two Detroit runs. Even so. he
gave up only six hits over the route
for his 10th victory.
This was Chicago's 18th triumph
in 20 games over the Tigers, the last
eight coming in row. In contrast
Chicago has been able to win only
4 out of 10 from the Indians.
No other games were scheduled
yesterday.

Nv BILL DISMER, Jr.

What does the loss of Andy Farkas
mean to the Redskins? Well, above
all else, 1t means that two veterans
one in his sophomore" year and
the other the third Oldest member
of the squad-are going to receive
hitherto unrealized opportunities as
ball-carriers. And upon them. dim
pied Jimmy Johnston of the Uni
versity of Washington and dapper
Max Krause of Spokanes Gonzaga,
depend the chances of whether Far
kas' absence is to prove fatal or just
unfortunate.
Before Farkas was incapacitated,
It was Coach Ray Flaherty's plan to
pair him with Sammy Baugh in one
backfield, with Frank Filchock and
Dick Todd teaming in another.
These were to be the Indians al
ternate offensive threats with a
third, Johnston and the new No. 8
quarterback, Roy Zimmerman, be-
ing used as a spare" attack two
some to break in gradually when
ever the opportunity presented IL
sell.
Climax Runners Scarce.
Now, with Farkas out, it's going
to fall upon either Krause or john
ston to supply the Skins second
running threat along with Todd, for
no other Indian ball-carriers seem
to possess the potentlantleS OF
ebreakaway" runners. Krause has
spent almost his entire professional
career looking for chance to carry
the ball. Up to now, he has been
used chiefly as a blocker, but lnfre-
ouently, as two years ago when
Baugh broke his collarbone in the
opening league game, has shown re-
markable aptitude in advancing the
ball. But his value as blocker has
exceeded that as a ball-carrier and
he has been returned to his old
duties. not always because the Red
skins didn't need ground gaining
backs, but because they needed path
paving men more.
Needless to say, KrauSe is tlckleo
with his new chance. As a fellow
who always has given his best. no
matter what he has been asked to
do, merry Make played second
fiddle without a murmur. But now
that he will be given a chance tc

Sturts at Flank
BY HUGH S. FULLETON, Jr.,


NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Eastern
All-Star football team plays the New
York pro Giants at the Polo Grounds
tonight.
OF course, it's Just a preseason
exhibition and it doesn't mean any,
thing-except to a few thousand
poor kids who will get to spend a
couple of weeks in the country next
summer on the money it will bring

bilious young men who hope to make
good at pro football this fall and
who get this chance to show their
ability in public perhaps to some
fading Giant veterans who want to
hold their jobs. and to about As 900
fans who will yell themselves dizzy

All these things contribute to
making 1t one of the seasons great

ball may not be of the finest mid
season quality.
Giants Yet to Lose.
This is the fifth All-Star game
here and the stars, selected from
the previous seasons graduating
crop of players in Eastern COLLEGES,
never have beaten the Giants This
year they appear to have a better
chance than ever before. for the
All-Stars aren't stars in the usual
sense of the word.
In picking the squad lot OF
boys with big regulations were
passed up in favor of small-college
players who had shown the kind of
ability needed to play against the
veteran pros. Only about half of
them won any sort of national
regulations in college, but % men,
bers of the squad and 10 of the
probable starters are due to report
to National League clubs right after
the game
Then. too. the Giants aren't ex-
actly the same club that plugged
away to win four previous games
by fairly close scores AS a result of
the beating they took from Green
Bay in the playoff last fall, they've
decided to go in for the more open
style4of game. and they're trying out
lot of new players.
Pros Start Crack Line.

Neither Jack Sanford nor Jimmy

by President Clark Grifflth, who is
expressing a desire for "a really
hard-hitting fellow" to handle that
job for the Mats next season.

ing in the first division next year if
We get a first baseman who can hit, "
said Griffith. Gosh knows how
many games we've lost this year
just on account of not having a
reliable hitting first baseman.
Jack Sanford is two years away
from major league baseball" con-
tinued Griff in appraising the
youngster who has been playing the
position for the Mats for less than
two weeks. Hes a good prospect,
but he needs q year or two in an
AA league to develop.
I'VE need a first baseman who can
hit more than we need anything
