and down the dueout, pointed q
finger at Twink, and said. Sonny,
you're it." So here's that man
again-rieht on the spot. First he
had to Ali the Babes brogans. All
he has to do now is prove hes as
good as the walloper who was robbed
of the American League champion
ship for knocking in runs only by
an injury. Keller may see some
series service, but it's a cinch Sell
kirk will have to be in there for
him part of the time.
When he made his trip over from
Newark to New York back in '35,
Game Guy George passed another
outfielder on the way back to the
Bears. Fred Dixie Walker had
been with the Yanks for three sea-
sons before that, and while he did
pretty fair job while he was working,
he didn't work hard enough. He'd
been hurt each season, and the word
went out that here was a brittle
ball player.
So the Yanks sent him back.
brought him up again in '36 and
sold him to Chicago. That season.
the Bombers won the pennant and
the World Series, but Dixie didn't
cut in. That was the first time he
missed bingo. He landed with De-
troit in '38 and labored with the
Tigers through half of 1899. Then
he was sold to Brooklyn and the
Tigers went on to win the American
League championship in 1910. Once
more, Dixie missed the gravy train
by year.
Prexy Larry MacPhail, the great
mouthpiece of the Dodgers, refuses
to admit Dixie has been one Of the
leaders in the dash of Dem Buns"
to the National League flag this sea-
son. But PREF MacPhail has been
known to be wrong before. Every
one else in baseball tosses bouquets
at Dixie for ishitting and his tight.
So here they are. the forgotten
men-Selkirk and Walker. Neither
of 'em will be around much longer,
but while they're there, they play 1t
up to the hilt.

As matter of fact, the Mats

Young Wynn lost his first major
league start to the YANKEES yes
terday, after compiling three
straight victories. He threw a six
hitter at the Bronx Bombers, who
are tuning up for the World Series
with the Brooklyn Buns. but
first inning home run by Little Phil
Rizzuto stood up as the final score.
1t was 10 as Marius Russo, a
southpaw who licked Washington
in the opening major league game,
held the Mats to only three hits.
To the Mats. this Russo is an Al
nuisance. Before President Roose-
welt and 10000 other war-worried
Washingtonians, he beat the Mats in
the season opener by giving only
three hits and no runs. Yesterday
he duplicated this April IA per-
formance. From a national view
point, it was significant victory. II
Russo is right. he is hard to beat.
He is. a left-hander and most Of
the Dodgers long-range power is
left-handed.
But getting away from the
Yankees and Dodgers for the mo-
ment, there is a problem staring
Harris in the face. His Mats had
won 10 out of IL games and had
moved into position where they
could contend for sixth place. This
would have made things look pretty
good for Harris, only big-league
manager who is unsigned for 1912,
but two straight beattngs in Boston
and two more yesterday. by scores
of Al and 10, did not help his
record much.
Harris. however, can't hit for his
hirelings. nor can he pitch. Ken
Chase, like Wynn, allowed only six
hits, but Chase couldn't get the ball
over the plate. He permitted the
Yanks to score in three innings of
the opener and each time Chase
himself started the rally by walking

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.--Bsck in
1885, right field and the right field
bleachers in Yankee Stadium were
hallowed ground.
This was Ruthville. The Babe
was through for keeps. He'd hung
I'D that No. which had been plas-
tered all over the place for Is years.
But to the fans, his territory still
was as marked as If he'd pitched a
tent and was getting his mail there.
That spring broad-backed rookie
with a square chin came over from
Newark to the Yanks. They fitted
him out with a monkey suit, slap
ped that same No. 3 on his back
and told him to 60 out and play
right field
It's an old story. the job Twinkle
toes George Selkirk had on his
hands. No one cared much that
he'd batted 357 for Newark in 1884,
and had turned to baseball after
taking whack at wrestling and
being strong man. The fans
greeted him like little Johnny goes
for his Saturday night bath. So
you're the guy who thinks he can
be the Babe. they asked. Every
thing was nice and pleasant-like
q hospital.
But Twink lived through it, stuck
1t out, and at long last the cheers
came. He may not wear the same
size satchels as the Babe, but no one
could say he didn't do a fair coun-
try job of operating in that tricky
right field corner and at the plate.
He batted .3l2 that year and fol-
lowed with 1903 and 1923 the next
two seasons.
A lot of splinters have been
picked of the bench since then.
The last couple of years youngsters
have come along to outshine Twink
and he's been sitting the waltzes
out most of the afternoons. But

ankle bone sliding into second base.

people themselves remain to be de-

Even the Dodgers aren't entirely
satisfied. Although they already
have won more games than any
other Brooklyn club in history, 90,
they would like to hit 100.
Dolph Camilli would like to get his
35th homer and tie the Brooklyn

Boxing Writer'S Lean
To Louis but Grant

~ the Associated Press.

BS the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept 2T.-The bet
ting odds on the big fight Monday
are to II in Joe Louis favor over
Lou Nova, and that's just about how
the boxing writer's here for the show
feel about it.
OF a total of 80 voting in the As
ISOLATED Press poll on the bout today,
% went for Louis and nine rode on
the long shot. But several who went
with the champ hedged a trifie by
adding they wouldn't be much sur
prised if California Lou took the
crown.
Very few. however, thought this
would go the 15-round route.
