Mats Last Flag Hopes

BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Washing-
tons final shot at the 1943 Ameri-
can League pennant, the equiva-
lent of attempting to hit the moon
with peashooter. was to be
launched today as the Mats tangled
with the leading Yankees in
the opener OF a 4-game series.
The Mats have seven games re-
manning with the Yankees and any
faint idea they may continue to
nurse about the pennant dictates
that Washington sweep all these
games to further their fading am
bition. New York now is 10 games
in front of Washington.
The Yankees have captured i3
series In row and will be seeking
to tie the major league mark by
taking three of four against thu
Mats, who haven't lost a series in
their last seven, although they
were forced to be content with an
even break twice on their recent
Western trip.
Manager Ossie Bluege was ex-
pected to send Early Wynn after
his 18th victory for the Mats today,
with Milo Candini, Johnny Mig
ceiling and Dutch Leonard expected
to follow. The teams will clash in
another single game tomorrow and
double header on Sunday.
Clinging to second place by a
slender margin, the Mats will have
to struggle along without the serv-
ices of Third Baseman Harlond
Cliff, who is expected to remain out
of action for 10 days due to mumps.

Army-NaW Game Bid
Is Made by PhiIIy

Philadelphia is in the field with a
bid to play the Army-Navy football
classic now that the game prac-

pected from other big centers.

derstanding that the game is to be
played, although the site still is un-
decided. 1t now is scheduled for
November 27 at West Point. There
had been hints that the game might
be Cancelled.
Immediately after McCloy's state
ment was known, Philadelphia came
through with its bid. Roger w.

Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium
could be filled to its 105,000 capacity

A few weeks ago when the Brook

1t seems only fair, therefore, to
call attention to the fact that the
Dodgers now are very strong third

that they will finish second.

DETROIT, Sept. 3.-A year ago
Rudy York would have been SO 1000
richer as producer of 100 runs batted
in. That was the bonus dangled in
front of him and he stopped at 90.
Now he has 100 and no money, but
it may help bring him high honors
this season.
York yesterday became the first
American Lacquer to drive in 100
runs. In front office baseball, that's
the payof department, although the
public is much more interested in
long hits. York tops the home run
division, too, with 80 round -trippers,
best in the majors, and he may seize

BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-If Luke
Appling of the Chicago White Sox
succeeds in winning the 1943 Ameri-
can League batting championship
a project on which he seems to be
very intent these days-it will mark
the second time shortstop ever has
done that trick in the junior circuit.
The other fellow was named Luke
Appling.
Inf1elders never have been much
shakes at leading the league in hit
ting, although Luke would debunk
this. Second basemen have done it
five times, first basemen seven, and
third baseman never.
Luke also may have the added
distinction - or lack thereof - of
posting the lowest winning average
in some years. He's hitting only
1886 now and the previous low in
modern times was .349, by Buddy
Lewis OF Washington in 1895 and
Jimmy Foxx of Boston in 1898.

to win the national doubles title two
years in a row then bowed out

pendicitis attack en- route to the
championships.
Kramer Is Big Surprise.
He's been in the Coast Guard all
summer and nobody figured him as
a title contender even though he
was seeded third behind frankie
Parker and Pancho Segura.
But the tall California Coast
Guardsman has surprised every
body. In administering unmerciful
beatings to William E. Clifford and
Bobby Falkenburg he has appeared
to be in top form,
In today's quarter final round,
Kramer meets young Jack Tuero OF

lost only one encounter during the
tournament season, faces his con-
queror, Seymour Greenberg, Chi
cago southpaw, in a return match
today.
Sarah Cooke Coming Back.
Mrs. Cooke, 1941 women's cham
pion, also was out OF tournament
play last summer and most OF the
season. But she has been practicing
with her husband, 1t. Elwood Cooke
of the Navy, at Pensacola, Fla, and
she parked her new daughter down
there while she came north to play
in the nationals.
Of her performances against
Berta Garcia and Peggy Welsh,
little Sarah apparently didn't lose
anything through lack of competi-
tion. She is hitting the ball as well
as ever and playing her usual clever
all-court game. Assuming that she
beats the national girls champion,
