-Four A. A. Clubs Open
P|ayoff Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tiit ASSOCldNQ FTeSS.
The American Association dropped
the curtain on its regular season
yesterday with Milwaukee the cham
pion by a five -and-one- half game
margin and Indianapolis the run
nerup by one-half game edge over
Columbus. Attention now centers
on the annual playoffs starting to-
morrow.
The first two games in each three
out-of of-f1ve" series will be. played in
Milwaukee and Indianapolis with
the clubs shifting to Columbus and
Toledo for the windup. Survivors of
the two sets will meet to decide
the associations representative in
the little world series against the
International League playoff cham
pion.
Milwaukee closed it's most sue
cessful season in history yesterday
with 8-4 and 60 wins over the de-
Tending A. A. champion, Kansas
City. This double defeat, coupled
with st. Paul's 1873 and 9-3 victories
over sixth-place Minneapolis, placed
the Blues in a deadlock with the
Saints for last place.
Indianapolis lost twice to fifth
place Louisville, 80 and 6-2 while
Columbus beat Toledo, SO and 4-3.

Bombers Must Down
Tough Westerners
To Nab Penndnt
By TED MEIER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

1t sounds fantastic, but can it be
that the New York Yankees will
blow the American League pen
nant to Washington, or perhaps
even Cleveland, in the last two weeks
of the season?
On top by nine-game margin
over the second-place Mats and by
IL games over the third-place In
dians, the Yanks need to win only
5 of their remaining IA games
to clinch their seventh champion
ship in eight years.
Under the circumstances this
would seem no hardship for the
Bronx Bombers, but there is every
indication that gaining those five
victories will be one of the toughest
tasks the Yankees have faced this
year.
The fact that they missed clinch-
Ing at least a tie for the title by
dropping a double header to the
Mats yesterday may prove the turn
ing point. The double loss, 3 to 2 in
10 innings, and to l, gave the Mats
a sweep of the three-game series
against three of the best Yankee
pitchers, Charley Wensloff, Spud
Chandler and Ernie Bonham.
Flag for Mats Could Happen.
If the Mats win all of their re-
naming II games they will finish
the season with 81 straight victories
remember the Chicago Cubs in
1852. In that case the Yankees
would have to win four games from
the always difficult Detroit Tigers,
Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns
and Chicago White Sox to tie.
It is bit more difficult to see how
Cleveland a notoriously poor team
in the road, can win the pennant,
but it is possible.
The Indians have 13 games left to
play, all on the road. Four are
against the Yanks and three against
Washington. If the Indians, who
beat Detroit twice yesterday, 1 to 0
and 6 to 2, win all 13 while the
Mats win of IL and the Yanks only
l of IA, the Tribe would finish on
top by half game.
Jim Bagby turned in a two-hitter
in blanking Detroit for the Indians.
Southpaw AL Smith, aided by Allie
Reynolds in relief role, stopped the
Tigers in the nightcap.
Giants Adams in Seth Game.
The National League champions,
the st. Louis Cardinals, were beaten
twice by the Chicago Cubs, 6 to 0
and 10 to 9.
Ace Adams, in helping the New
York Giants take a double-head
from Brooklyn, and l and to 4,
appeared in his 66th game Of the
season, equaling the major league
record set by Ed Walsh of the CHI
cago White Sox IS years ago.
Pittsburgh got back into the thick
Of the fight for second place by beat
ing the Cincinnati Reds twice, 10 to
3 and 2 to /.
The Boston Braves made it five in
a row over the Phillies, 3 to and
6 to 5 in IA innings behind excellent
pitching by Jim Tobin and Al Jaw
cry.
The White Sox and the st. Louis
Browns split, the Browns taking the
opener, to 4, and the Sox the
nightcap, to l. The Boston Red
Sox and the Philadelphia Athletics
also split. Joe Dobson shut out the
AS in the opener, IA to 0, with five
hits. The AS took the nightcap,
to 1, behind Jess Flores eight-hit
twirling.

Leafs Reach, Chiefs
Near Final in |. |,
BY the Associated Press

=
That no = hitter, young Walt
Monk Dubiel of Newark, hurled at
the expense of Syracuse late in the
International League season, is
proving extremely expensive.
For the second time during the
semifinal playoffs, Dubiel was bested
yesterday by Syracuse, which now
leads by three games to two and has
a chance of joining Toronto in the
final round by taking tonight's con-
test on their home grounds.
This time it was Tomas de la Cruz,
slender Cuban curve specialist, who
gained the edge over Dubiel, 4 to O.
At the same time the Leafs were
eliminating Montreal, to /, with
their fourth straight playoff win.
Although De la Cruz pitched a
sturdy three-hit contest, he could
have coasted because of the hitting
of Dutch Mele. Mele poked out a
homer off Dubiel in the second and
another off Relief Pitcher Ed Mar
leau in the ninth.
Young Jim Hopper was almost as
effective for Toronto. He stopped
Montreal with four blows, singles bv
Max Macon and AL Camapnis and
an inf1eld out producing the losers
only tally in the seventh.

Barons on Way Here
For Big Tif|e Series

The Birmingham Black Barons,
winners of the Negro American
League pennant, are headed for
Washington to open the Negro World
Series tomorrow night at Griffith
Stadium against the Homestead
Grays.
The Grays some time ago earned
the Negro National League crown,
while the Barons came through in
their loop yesterday by taking 10
victory at Birmingham over the
Chicago Giants in the deciding game
Of the playoffs. The series will be
a best-four-of- of-seven affair, with ad-
ditional games after Tuesday slated
in Baltimore, Washington and
Chicago.
Johnny Hubar, ace Black Baron
pitcher stopped the Chicago club
yesterday with a one-hitter while
tanning four. The Barons them
selves were able to get only four
bingles off Gentry Jessup of Chicago,
scoring their lone run when Piper
Davis was hit by pitched ball and
completed the circuit on Lynn Lind
says single and an outfield fly.

Gumbert, White, Card
Hur|ers, May Be Out
BY NED NORDNESS,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-The great
experiment of Manager Billy South
worth of the National League cham
pion Cardinals worked to perfection.
1t told him all he wanted to know
and the news wasn't good.
His two sore-armed veteran pitch
ers, Harry Gumbert and Ernie
White, evidently are lost for World
Series play.
Southworth's lame arm brigade
took the mound in yesterdays
double-header against Chicago and
the vicious manner in which the
Cubs greeted their deliveries was
sad to behold.
White has been bothered all sea-
son with bursitis in the shoulder of
his southpaw, fipper, while Gum
bert's dead arm was the result of
a circulatory condition.
Performances Are Pathetic.
Each has undergone extensive
treatment at the hands of DR.. Rob-
ert F.. Hyland, club physician, who
frankly admitted his efforts were
aimed at preparing them for World
Series competition. But their per-
formances yesterday were pathetic
Gumbert, who hadn't seen action
since August % when he beat Bos-
ton ST. although lasting only 1-3
innings, faced the Cubs in the
opener. He didn't last an inning.
The lanky right-hander, whose
record now is nine won and five
lost, retired the first man, then was
burned under three doubles, single
and a walk. Three runs crossed the
plate and Gumbert trudged to the
showers
White, shoutout conqueror of the
New York Yankees in the 1912 World
series, lasted longer, but it was just
agony prolonged. Making his first
start since August l, his southpaw
slants were bludgeoned for seven hits
and two runs in both the first and
second innings. After two Cubs hit
safely In the fourth, he took the
lonely one-way walk, rubbing his
sore shoulder.
Must Rely on Trio.
The Cards lost both games, 60
and 1919, with the losses charged to
Gilbert and White. SouthWorth in
dicated both men might see more
action before the regular season is
over, but added glumly:
They weren't World Series pitch
ers today"
The willy manager wanted desper-
ately to have at least one of these
veterans come through Now. left
with only two proved veteran start
ers--Mort Cooper and Max Lanier-
it appears he'll have to rely mostly
on men who started the season as
relief pitchers, and the brilliant
rookie, Alpha Brazle.

ington Brewers of the American
Basket Ball League, George WASH
ington, Georgetown, Catholic and
American Universities, the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta and midget auto
racing. For sports war is hell.
DoraZio-Hart Bout Tonight Rated
Even-"This will be real war;" said
Promoter Goldie Ahearn, who rates
all his battles as lacking only little
less activity than was displayed in
the Salerno engagement.
Goldie was watching Gus Dorazio
punch the frame of Ted Wint in
Saturday sparring session in large
room atop a billiard hall on Ninth
street. He was expressing great glee
every time Dorazio whipped punch
into Wint's tummy and displaying
the inevitable telegram saying that
the manager of an outstanding
fighter had agreed to risk all by
matching his prominent pug against
the winner of whatever fight Goldie
happens to be promoting at that
particular time. This time it was
Jimmy BivinS' manager admitting
via Western Union that the winner
of the Dorazio-Al Hart fuss might
be privileged to face Bivins, who is
labeled the duration heavyweight
champion"
Jimmy Wilson, who trains Dorazio,
came over to talk shop and was
asked against what fighter Dorazio
had enjoyed the best night of his
career. Against Joe Louis" an
sWered Wilson, which seemed mildly
astonishing, inasmuch as the record
book relates Louis disposed of Do
razio in two rounds.
yeah, Louis got rid of him in two
rounds" said Wilson, "but Gus gave
Joe a good going over in that first
round. He gave him such a body
beating, in fact, that he became
careless, which isn't very healthy
when fighting somebody like Louis.
Gus came back to his corner at
the end of the first round and said,
I thought you told me. this guy was
a good fighter. I'll drive him outa
the ring
He lunged at Louis chin and
missed. Joe was surprised that Do
razio was attempting to force the
fight, but the next time Gus leaped
at Joe's jaw-he had to leap to
reach his chin-Louis wasn't sur
prised. He fattened Gus very
promptly, but it was a whale of
fight while it lasted"
