CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-George
Strickler, the National Football
League statistician, doesn't have
enough headaches-now he wants to
be a coach.
Just put him in charge of all the
former play-for-pay men on Mid
western football teams, he contends,
and he would have a squad worthy
of challenging any club in the
country.
He could use six players from 1t.

The major leagues will swing into
their last intersectional round robin
of the season tomorrow and instead
of everybody ogling the st. Louis
Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers, as
appeared likely when the schedule
was drawn up, attention will be CEN
tered on the New York Yankees
games with the Detroit Tigers.
In the last couple of years a Sep
tember series between the Cards and
Dodgers always has meant thunder
and lightning and a pennant wav-
ing in the balance.
But this is all changed now. The
three games with the Dodgers this
week only mean to the Cardinals
chance to rub salt on old wounds
They could do this effectively by
humping Brooklyn out of second
place, if they haven't let down as
the result of clinching the National
League pennant last Saturday, and
If the Cincinnati Reds cut loose
against the New York Giants.
However, the controversy over
second place in the senior circuit
will be in eclipse until the New York
Yankees complete the business of
winning the American League flag.

siorf to fret.

more valuable hitter than Vernon,

Gerald Priddy at second base,

Stars WabbIy, Rivals
Must Gamble With
Hurting Talent :
BY SID FEDER..
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2I.-For a
number of years now, the most
famous last word in the American
League has been to start shouting
about what you're going to do to
the Yankees on any given occasion.
The roof has funny habit Of
falling in when you try to make 1t
stick.
So, since everything's been going
so smoothly up to now, it might be
q good idea to tip OF the National
Leaguers that they're looking for
. leak in the gas meter with q lit
match when they holler that "a
the Yankees can't do q thing against
left-handers and (2) that the three
top st. Louis Cardinal southpaws
figure to do fearful things to the
Bombers In the forthcoming World
Series.
The chief thing wrong with that
picture Is that no one seems to be
thinking about what the Yanks
might do to the Redbird portsiders.
Yanks Have Hit Lefties.
So far this season, the uptown
thumpers have gone to the mat with
an assortment of 16 American
League elbowers who throw from
the button-hole side of their vests.
And they've won 20 games apd lost
II in those which went to a de-
cision. What's more, the Yanks
haven't done too bad with a num-
ber of lefties in their six World
Series since '36-guys like Carl
Hubbell.
And while the Cards, top three
Max Lanier, Alpha (Bet) Brazle and
Oklahoma Harry Breeheen, the big
man from Broken Bow-all are nice
young fellows, you have to admit
there isn't a Hubbell in the lot.
Naturally, the 43 Yanks aren't the
1895 blockbusters, either.
The way things shape up, however,
Billy Southworth practically has to
depend on his southpaws to turn
the trick. AS a matter Of fact, the
tossing on both sides is strictly out
of the grab bag, because Marse Joe
McCarthy's Yankee staff, aside from
Georgia Spud Chandler, is mostly
hot-and-cold, like boarding house
coffee.
Cards Must Use Southpaws.
Highlander Mort Cooper, a 20
game winner again, is the ace of the
Cards deck, but he was dubbed out
of there twice in last years fall fuss
and has been whacked with abandon
AS well as ball bats-in two all
star appearances. In spite of that
he'll probably get the call to lead
off the first game.
But after Mort, Billy the Kid must
come in with st. Louis lefties, be-
cause the only other worthwhile
righty-Harry Gumbert-is laid up
with the miseries. Lanier, with a
record of 1877 this season and boast
ing win in the AZ classic-in a
relief role-is the likely second-game
choice, largely because Brazle and
Brecheen are rockies. But South
worth tossed the big dice with a
rookie-Johnny Beazley-twice last
year and came up seven, so since he
/ hasn't any one else, Brazle, with a
IL for his first year and Brecheen,
/ with S-5, are practically sure of a
job.
Like Cooper, Chandler, the bell
COW of the Yanks' soupbone society,
has been largely series f1op-ola.
He's had two cracks at series rivals
and each time wound up with cold
shower and the morning newspa-
pers.
Mccarthy Has His Problems.
With 10 wins already this year
Spud is cinch to hit 40 and be-
come the Yanks' starter in the first
game.

Cards Likely Fuvorites

Those 20-13 odds favoring the
Yankees over the Cardinals are out
of line. The St. Louis bookie who
quoted those Odds was the same
character who quoted the Mats last
April as 100 to to win the pennant.
Some of the gambling gentry who
attempted to invest in the Mats at
that price discovered the longest
odds we're 35 to l.
When the Yankees and Cardinals
square off next month the Cards are
likely to be favored. st. Louis will
be meeting the American League
pennant winners, but not the team
that currently is the best in the
American League. That distinction
belongs to Washington.

Bob johnson, who normally would
be occupying left field for the Mats,
isn't as dangerous with bat in his
hands as the Yankees Charley
Keller, but Stan Spence and George
Case are better outflelders than
such as New York's Bud Metheny,
Roy Weatherly, Tuck Stainback or
Johnny Lindell. Behind the plate
there is a choice of Jake Early, with
the best throwing arm in the indus

Bill Dickey. who is a better hitter.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC,
Aug. 23.-Allied ground troops
driving ahead in Northeastern
New Guinea stood today on a
ridge overlooking the Salamaua
airdrome, and the fall of that
important objective seemed al
most within sight.
Capture of the airfield probably
will not come without bitter and
perhaps costly battle. In the 'Six
months since it has been apparent
that Allied strategy demands its pos
session, the japanese have had time
to fortify it with the same thorough
system of defenses that made the
American advance on Munda air
drome in the Solomon Islands a
bloody, yard-by-yard business.
Beyond that the japanese, aware
by now that the Allies devasta ting
air blows in this sector have cut
them off from virtually all hope of
reinforcement Or relief, may be ex-
pected to fight to the finish. Past
experience has been that the enemy
is most dangerous when in desperate
straits.
Artillery Turned on Japs.
But with Americans and Austral-
ians in possession of the ridge domi-
mating the Salamaua airfield, only
the forest-covered downward slopes
and the tidewaters of the Fran
cisco River still stand as barriers
to the Allied frontal advance.
The ridge, stretching seaward per-
haps 2 miles south of the airdrome
from Allied-held Komiatum, was oc-
cupied yesterday morning, todays
Allied communique announced. I'M

was turned on japanese positions at
