Superb Pitching !:
Fails 10 Check
Either Club
Herman Again Saves
Day for Brooklyn;
Foxx Ties Mark
Bv GAYLE TALBOT,


1t will be some tune before baseball
produces two gamer, more stout
hearted teams than the pair now
locked in battle for the National
League championship. with the pres
sure Tightening with every game.
The fact is emphasized anew daily
as the Dodgers and Cards go into
the final furious fortnight.
If either of them intended to
crack, yesterday offered a beautiful
opportunity. Both contenders ran
into superb pitching and both trailed
at one time or another. but when
the dust settled last night both had
won their games and still were
breathing defiance.
The st. Louis gang perhaps dis
played the sterner fighting qualities
in overcoming the Giants twice by
scores of l to 0 and to 5, the
second tussle going 10 innings. Carl
Hubbell, still master craftsman,
held them to three hits in the
opener. but they put one with a
Giant misplay to score and give the
veteran Lon Warneke a richly-de-
served triumph.
Tie Game in Ninth.
They went into the ninth frame
of the second game trailing by two
runs, but they knocked Cliff Melton
from the hill to tie it up and then
won out in the 10th on an error by
Dick Bartell with the sacks filled
The double win enabled the Cards
to reduce Brooklyn's lead to a game
and a half. despite the Dodgers
hard-earned 7-to-5 victory over
Cincinnati. The margin is certain
to be changed one way or the other
today, as the Cards take rest
while the Dodgers have another shot
at the Reds.
Billy Herman, veteran Brooklyn
second sacker, knocked in the win
ming run for the second straight day
when he poled homer off Bucky
Walters in the ninth to break a
SIS deadlock. The previous day he
had beaten the Cards, l to 0. with a
heroic double off Mort Cooper And
it is reported on good authority
thet the Dodgers paid only some
such trifing sum as $4,000 for
Herman when they got him from the
Chicago Cubs early in the season.
Reds Cling to Third.
The defeat nearly cost Cincinnati
third place. Pittsburgh won its first
game with the Phils, 2 to l, and
appeared to have the nightcap sewed
up until the Phils suddenly blasted
loose for five runs in the ninth
inning to win it. to 3. A twin
victory would have placed the
Corsairs third which is a nice spot
to be in with the World Series split
coming up.
The Chicago Cubs divided a pair
with the Boston Braves. The Braves
blasted Is hits to take the first,
6 to 3, but absorbed a 1913 licking
in the second. mostly at the hands
of Chicago's rookie pitcher, Johnny
Schmitz.
The Cleveland Indians hoped on
Marv Breuer for five runs in the
eighth inning to win the second
game from the Yanks, 5 to 2. after
losing the first. to 3. on George
Selkirk's homer with two aboard.
The Boston Red Sox virtually
clinched second place by taking a
pair from Chicago, 90 and So, and
their great First Baseman Jimmy
Foxx carved himself hunk of base
ball record by running his runs
batted-in total to 102. 1t marks the
18th year he has passed 100. tying
the record held by the late Lou
Gehrig.
st. Louis showed the Philadelphia
Athletics into the cellar by sweeping
a double-header, 7-2 and 5-1.

Yanks Can Whip Any
n. |. Flag Winner,
Mack Declares
Vet Pilot of As Feels
World Series Won't Go
More Than 6 Games
BY TED MEIER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l5.-Con-
ME Mack doesn't care whether the
Dodgers or the Cardinals win the
National League pennant-he picks
the Yankees to win the World Series.
What's more. the alert, 78-year-
old manager of the Athletics thinks
the series will last only five or SIX
games.
Baseball's grand old gentleman"
who was a veteran before most OF
the present-day ball players were
born, added to his fame when he
went out on a limb and predicted
the collapse of the Yanks in 1910,
after they had won four straight
pennants and World Series.
Predictions Garry Weight.
The Yanks walloped Cincinnati
four straight in the series Of 1899,
but it was in that very series, Connie
said. that he saw something" that
indicated the Yanks' downfall.
During the off season last winter
Mack asserted the Yanks were the
team to beat for the 194f pennant.
Hence his predictions carry more
than added weight
"Yes. I think it will be the YAM
KEGS" he declared. who can beat
them? They have such power and
pitching. The possible loss of Keller
(Charley Keller, outfielder, who is
expected to be out with a leg injury
will not be a blow as it might to
other clubs. The Yanks have too
much"
Sees No Yankee Slump.
Asked if he thought the Yanks
might tend to ease up after winning
the pennant SO early in September
and then find it hard to get back
into shape, Connie smiled.
Not by the way they're keeping
going" he said They'll win the
series in fTe or six genes, nearer
ave than six"

starter. If Canadian officials keep
on turning down youngsters who
want to come to the United States
to play hockey, maybe Maj. Fred
McLaughlin's idea of an all
American" team in the National
League won't look as sour as it
did last year. His Chicago Black
hawks now have five United
StateS-born players and six
others who have been or are being
naturalized. Seems the hockey
moguls laid themselves open for
a few blasts from expert blasters
on the new list of referees. New
faces may be okay, but if they
keep on signing up ex-players
instead of promoting guys who
have been getting experience as
linesmen, they may find the refs
will have trouble enforcing de-
cisions against managers who
used to boss them around.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Mon-
day matinee: Most surprising
news of the week end was that
licking Whirlaway took up at
Narragansett, and it's really got
the horse players wondering.
Whirly hasn't been out of train
ing since the start of his two
year-old season and that's enough
to wear down any other horse,
but only couple of days ago Ben
Jones said his horse was taking
on weight with all that hard
work. Isn't it about time for the
Dodgers to begin asking if the
Giants still are in the league?
