Like Bronx Bombers
OF Club Heyday as
Big Series Nears
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The New York Yankees, who have
stayed or top the American League
all season chiefly because of their
superb pitching. suddenly have
started to terrorize their foes with
their hitting.
In winning their last three games
they have made IL, Is and IA hits,
respectively, and looked like the
Bronx Bombers Of other years in
their ability to stir up big innings.
They scored six runs in the ninth
inning against the Philadelphia
Athletics while capturing the Sec
ond half of their Labor Day dou-
ble-header, they rolled up five in
the sixth inning against the Red
Sox Thursday and they broke loose
for seven in the eighth frame yes
terday to beat Boston again, go.
The victim of their latest up-
rising was Cecil (TeD Hughson,
who had whipped the Yankees in
three successive starts early in the
season and who was pitching a 80
shutout going into the seventh in
ming yesterday.
Keller Hits 26th Homer.
Then Charley Keller hit his 18th
homer and two doubles added an
other run in the seventh. In the
eighth Bud Metheny hit homer,
Bill johnson doubled and Hughson
gave way to Mace Brown, but the
Yanks kept right on parading till
they had pushed seven runs across
the plate. Metheny, who had opened
the rally, closed it with a two-run
single.
Altogether seven of the Yanks' Il
hits were for extra bases, including
two homers and a triple This re-
turn Of superoctane power to the
Bombers may be something to keep
in mind when the World Series
comes around. Plans for the classic
were to be announced today by Com
missioner Kenesaw M. Lands.
The st. Louis Cardinals also won
yesterday, but had to wiring out a
81 decision over the Chicago Cubs
on the strength of double by Stan
Musial in the seventh. Max Lanier
who gave eight hits, and Claude Pas
seau, who allowed nine, pitched a
scoreless duel for six frames.
Reds Shut Out Pirates.
Cincinnati remained in second
place in the National League by half
game over the idle Brooklyn Dodg-
ers by dividing a twilight-night
double header with Pittsburgh. The
Pirates took the free hitting first
game, 9-6, but were shut out, 10, by
Bucky Walters five-hit hurting in
the afterpiece.
The New York Giants walloped
the Boston Braves, 1912, with a Is.
hit offensive.
The Cleveland Indians reinforced
their hold on second place in the
American League by sweeping a
double-header from the Detroit
Tigers, Al and 10. Mel Harder re-
ceived credit for winning the opener
with six-hit pitching. r
A ninth-inning homer by Hank
Edwards got the only run OF the
second game.
e., The st. Louis Browns stopped the
Chicago White .Sox, 60, as Chef
Laabs hit his 18th homer and Nell
son Potter produced a six-hit hurl-
ing Job.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Elly
Vines, probably the only athlete
versatile enough to be a well-paid
professional both in tennis and
golf, laid the grounds for a good
argument by naming golf as the
game he likes better. Its more
sociable game" Vines explained.
Tennis is personal combat, and
you can do things when you hit
the ball that will throw the
other fellows game way off. In
golf If the other fellow shoots the

Quick Defeat Of Vines
Brightens Future
Of Aging ziyic
BY TED MEIER,
Associated Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Crafty
Fritzie Civic. who repeatedly has
been thinking Of quitting the ring,
needn't retire as long as he meets
fighters of the Winnie Vines type.
The 30-year-old Pittsburgh veteran
bopped Vines to dreamland in 2:04
Of the first round Of their scheduled
10-round windup bout at Madison
Square Garden last night.
There was nothing to it," de-
clared Zivic. IT can keep on fight
ing until I'm so If I meet boys like
him."
Vines Makes Hard Try.
Most Of the 1908 persons who con-
tributed to gross gate of $15,979
agreed with Civic. They hardly
had settled back in their seats fol-
lowing the singing of the "Star
Spangled Banner" when Zivic tipped
over the knockout punch-a hard
right flush on Vines chin.
Vines, a former Schenectady, N.
Y, boy, now living in New York,
went down with thump. He tried
to get up at the count of nine, but
fell back, starry-eyed.
Vines. who gained the reputation
Of good puncher In New York's
smaller fight clubs, tried hard, but
lacked the experience and poise to
cope with the ringwise zivic.
Bartolo whips selt.er.
He rushed Zivic to the ropes at the
start. but the Pittsburgher tied him
up in close and set the stage for the
kayo by ramming rights into Vines
stomach. Vines weighed 1907 to
Ziyic's Isl. ns,,ss
In a.t0-round co-feature Boston's
Sal Bartolo gave New York's Aaron
Settler a boxing lesson In winning
an easy decision. Bartolo, who held
a.. 3-pound weight advantage ,=at
1881, had Seltzer on the floor for q
count of nine In the third round.

play ten games, with doubleheaders
every day from today through Sun

The Angels are coasting in as
pennant winners, while the Seals
need three wins TO cinch second
place. Seattle will ensure at least
third place with one more victory,
and Portland needs four wins to
shut Hollywood out of the playoff.
San Diego and Oakland have math-

fourth place, but tn Beavers need
only three victories to eliminate
