Rained Out P|ayoff Games Set for Toda]
Schupp Didn't Last Long; But Left
Record for Pitchers to Shoot at
BY HARRY GRAYSON
(NEA Feature)

Ferdinand Maurice Schupp had only two big
years but left mark for pitchers to shoot at.
Records are made 10 be broken, but the Louis
Vile Lollapalooza's earned-run average of 0.sO.
registered for the New York Giants OF 1915,
seems destined TO stand forever.
Helping the Polo Grounders TO the pennant
the following campaign, Schupp turned In anoth-
er phenomenal ERA, 1877, in accounting for Il
victories as against defeats to lead the National
League in winning percentage. He was credited
with one of the two victories the men of John
McGraw scored against the White Sox in losing
World Series.
Southpaw Schupp was a carefree kid who
never grew up. Life to him was one grand sweet
song. He never felt that club rules should be APP
piled to him He was dark compexioned chap
with high cheekbones gray eyes, brown hair in
cned to be curly and smile that revealed fine
set of teeth.
When there was spare time on his hands,
Schupp could be found in the music ROOM With
package of cigarets handy, he played the piano
we'll and would pound one forever - blue music
and the jumping 1--WE stuff so popular today. He
sang very high tenor, held regular additions
for membership in his quartet, seXtet or octet,
depending on the supply of talent.
At his best Schupp who stood 5 feet ii and
weighed 165 pounds, could pitch as good as any
body. He extremely fast had curve to
match.
UNBEATABLE IN WINNING STREAK
When he had control, Schupp like many an
other left-hander was very, very good, and when
he lacked it he could be horrid. One year the
Giants also had pitcher named RUDE Schauers
who frequently relieved Schupp, which is rain in
German Haywood Broun, then baseball writer
wrote: 1t never Schupps but it Schauers.
Schupp had only one season of professional
experience when he reported to the Giants as
2O-year- kid in the fall of 1912. Sinister DICK
Kinsella found him with Decatur of the Three
Eye, where he appeared in no fewer than 81
games pitched 232 innings, struck out 265, walk
ed l48 won D. lost 20. Manager McGraw used
him little in 1914 and he had an ERA of 5.O7 IN
is.
Schupp appeared in 80 games, lao innings
when he set his amazing ERA Of less than run
per nine innings.
That season, '16 one of the queerest the
Giants or any other club, ever experienced. Fol-
lowing a poor start the Giants, without employ
ing Schupp, won II games in a row between
May and 90 Then they were mediocre until
Just before they swung into their final western
trip Then with Schupp southpawing like no
pitcher pitched before since, they won 70
games in succession between Sept. and 30.
Strings of II and 26, pitcher with an ERA OF
0 90 and yet the Giants finished fourth!
Schupp, who previously had won three
straight started and finished six games in the
run of IS - four shutouts and only three runs
scored.

In the fourth, AlWardt's had

AS Near
Record for
LOStGaIlleS

The Philadelphia Athletics
seem 10 know enough about
baseball TO understand that re-
cord books can be opened eth
er from the front or the back.
Whether this is book larnin"
or baseball skill isn't worth ar
guing. because you would have
hard time imputing any other
kind of baseball talent to the
awkward AS and, left TO their
own devices, they have a
chance TO set modern Major
League record.
This record, of course. is for
losing games. Connie Macks
meandering troupe lost two
more to the Chicago White Sox
last night TO and 10 to make
10 consecutive defeats.
This is just one short OF the
longest losing streak in the big
leagues since the turn of the
century and the AS not only
have a chance to tie this time
worn standard tonight, but to
wipe il out They are scheduled
for another twilight-night dou-
bleheader at Chicago.
If they hurdle this obstacle in
record breaking style, the 1943
Athletics will have carved a
niche in diamond history and
they might even pass the losing
est team OF all-time, the 1899
Cleveland club in the National
League which tossed off "a con-
secutive defeats.

EVANSTON, H., Aug. "a
R)-Mr. Samuel Baugh of
Texas is present and says he's
ready for duty, but the Washing
ton Redskins aren't counting too
much on his effectiveness
against the college Aii-stars to-
morrow night.
Coach Dutch Bergman adj
mitted today that he couldn't
depend too much on his ace
passer, although he tried TO sof-
ten his own feelings by boast
ing about Baughs two stand
ms, Leroy Zimmerman and
rookie Frank Atkins, who will
get the call in that order when
Baugh's lame back forces him to
retire TO the bench in Dyche
stadium.
Baugh presumably felt that
rare misery after catching cold
in his back muscles at the Red
skins San Diego training base
Git apparently can happen even
in California; There has been
much ado about the Baugh back,
particularly since the Redskins
arrived at their Loyola Univer-
sity base in Chicago. The ALI
stars, incidentally, have been
skeptical about the extent Of
Baugh's lameness-theyll find
out for sure tomorrow.
Bergman's strategy plan now
is 10 have Baugh in there as soon
as the Redskins are on the Of
fensive-at the opening kickoff
if the Washingtons get TO re-
ceive. They'll gun hard for the
points potentially stored in
Baugh's arm or for the touch
downs that may come by run
ming should the All-stars' de-
Tense - primed for Sammy's
slings-go aWry.
We've been working this
team faster than we would nor
mally," the coach of the national
football league champions de-
clared. We've got 10 games to
go, too. This is the All-stars'
only one-they can give it ev-
erything they've got, and UNI
derstand they have plenty.
"Our reserves are not up TO
the standard of the first team in
ability, although our offense is
fairly well balanced. It looks TO
me like the outcome of the

raphers were whitewashed by
the ShOrians, 20. Steve Bien-
kowski, No. l hurler of the st.
Clair Shores aggregation, al
lowed only four hits in his mas
terpiece. The loss dropped Hill
crest from the playoffs.
The Shores Merchants made
their first run in the initial in
ming when Ed Kothe walked,
was sacrificed to sec ond by
Clyde Perkins, and scored on
Bud Lingemann's single.
The only other marker for the
Merchants was scored by Don
Gilbert IN the fourth frame. The
Shores first baseman lined hit
over second base which took a
bad hop as it was about 10 be
fielded, and Gilbert received
credit for a home run.
Hillcrest had only two chances
TO score. In the sixth, Herb
School led off with a single. He
was sacrificed TO seco d by
Charles VerVaecke, and moved
over to third on Buck Petit
pren's grounder. He was left
stranded, however, as Bienkow-
ski retired the next batter on
strikes 10 end the inning.
The Photographers had their
best scoring opportunity in the
last inning. With one out, Al Lo-
gle singled and went TO second
on an error. When the Shores
third baseman left the hot cor
ner unguarded. Logic made a
break for third and had the
base stolen, but overslid the bag
and was tagged out. Don Klein
followed with a single and Pat
Parker was safe on an error.
Both men took another base on
n wild pitch. Jack TomtiShen
then sent a fly 10 center field
which was miSiudged for mo-
mcnt but finally gathered in for
the final out of the game.
Two st. Clair Shores men had
perfect batting averages for the
night. Bob Obenauer and Jack
Crellin each had two for two,
one of Crellin's safeties being
double.
