 New York, Sept. 28-(UP)-When Connie Mack started the supposedly decrepit Howard Ehmke for Phila- delphia in the 1929 World Series opener against the Chicago Cubs, he also started an annual guessing game.
 Each year as the fall sociable ap- brooches, there is an aura of spec ulation whether the rival managers are supposed to be grooming pitch CTS who are either getting social se- curity benefits or have limp arms. Ehmke, an old man as pitchers 90, had been of little use that year and hadn't pitched in weeks so the base ball world was surprised when Mack put him in. He wasn't supposed to have good game left in him, but he set an all-tine series record by striking out IS Cubs and winning 3 to 1.
 Because of the Yankees distaste for southpaw pitching, this years speculation centers around Ernie White, Cardinal Lefty, who shut out the New Workers last fall, but who since has supposed to have suffered 6 recurring injury to his arm. White wac more or less of a surprise starter last fall, because he had won only seven games and didn't compare witA some of the other Redbigd pitching satellites. Y
 Whether manager Billy Southp worth was giving White a series air. ing yesterday is something the Xan- kees probably would like to know but he pitched his first complete game since May i3 and defeated tne Boston Braves 6 to 3. He worked easily and though the Braves touched him for 10 hits, his curve was breaking right and at the finish he said his arm felt fine.
 The Tanks, meanwhile, rolled on behind Hank Borowy, their sorh0s more star, who won his seventh straight, his i1th in 12 and his lzth for the year in defeating Cleveland to 2. Nick Etten with single, double end homer knocked in four runs to increase his RBI total to i05.
 Detroit put homers by Dick Wake field and Paul Richards to good use in its 6 to 3 victory over Boston. Each came with Q man abaSe to provide Virgil Trucks with his 1zth victory.
 The Athletics and Browns divided night double header, the As win- ming the first to { to snap Q seven game losing streak. Frank Sknfk hit a homer with the bases full in the second inning of the second game when the As scored six runs but the Browns rallied late to win ' to 6. Recruit Charles Bowles from Lancaster of the Interstate League won his first start in the opener, while veteran George Caster won as relief pitcher in the second.
 The White Sox defeated Washr ington 2 to twice. Buck Ross and Gordon Maltzberg g CT outpatcheo Dutch Leonard in the opener and Orval Grove had shade the bet ter of 1t over Bobo Newsom in the second although Newsom gave up only three hits to Groves six. !
