NATIONAL LEAGUE
BATTING RACE ON

NEW YORK, Sept. Is H.
The national league batting
race is showing signs of becom-
ing walk-over.
Not only did Harry (The Hat)
Walker of the Phillies come
nearer to clinching the hitting
championship when he staged
one of the seasons better bat
ting sprees during the past
week, but brother Fred (Dixie)
of Brooklyn matched him al
most blow for blow to move in
to third place among the
leagues leaders after Sundays
games.
Harry's IA hits in 81 times at
bat hoisted his average six
points to 1862 average despite a
four-point loss with only three
hits in Is times up, but Dixie
Walker moved in only one point
behind him. Dixie smacked IL
base hits in "a times up.
Pittsburgh's home-run clout-
ing Ralph Kiner, who had been
tied with Dixie at 1903 a week
ago, trailed right behind the
Brooklyn star, hitting IL times
in 80 attempts for a six-point
jump to .314
Eight of Kiner's II blows
were home runs, giving him the
league lead in that department
and establishing the Pittsburgh
rather than New York's Johnny
Mize as no. l threat to Babe
Ruth's season record Of 80. Kin
er now has 49 homers and Mize,
who hit only one last week, has
AZ.
Trailing Kiner among the
leading hitters are Augic Galan,
Cincinnati, .313; Bob Elliott,
Boston, Walker Cooper. New
York, and Pete Reiser Brook
lyn, tied at .3O9; Stan Musial,
St. Louis, .307 and Tommy
Holmes, Boston, and Whitley
Kurowski, St. Louis, tied et 1907.
Harry Walker maintained his
lead in two other departments
with total of 1876 hits. nine
more than Holmes, and 16
triples. Dixie Walker lost the
lead in two-base hits as Gin
cinnati's Eddie smacked four
for a total Of SO, one more than
Elliott.

OPTICS EDGE OUT
A. {. LINERS, 5-4

The City Opticals increased
their lead a full game over the
the second place Atlantic Coast
Liners in the Class A city soft
ball league here Monday night,
emerging on the long end of a
5 to count.
Herman Bailey of the Liners,
with two for two, and Slugger
Royal of the Optics with 3 for 3
had perfect nights at bat. On the
mound for the Liners, Leon
Thomas gave up eight hits, walk
ed one, and struck out nine. A.
L. King allowed the Liners eight
hits, walked four, and struck out
10.
Leading S to 2 in the last in
ming, the Optics were in trouble
when Bailey doubled after two
were out and scored on a single
by Barberousse. Barberousse
scored on a single by Surles, cut
ting the Optics lead to one run
But the rally ended when Surles
was thrown out at second.

oaseman George McQuinn.

baseman George McQuinn.
The veteran first sacker was
released last winter by the Phil
adelphia Athletics, regarded by
Connie Mack as all through. He
had hit only .225 in 1856 games
for the AS and had been
bothered by a chronic back all
ment.
Harris signed the 36-year-old
Virginian as a gamble and what
a bargain he has turned out to
be. McQuinn, a spark plug all
season, has been hitting con-
sistently over 800 and smack
ed 13 home runs.
The Yankees came up with a
fine crop Of first year men who
had a great deal to do with
winning the championship.
Pitchers Frank Shea (12-5) and
Vic Raschi (7-2) have been
standouts on the mound while
Berra has been a great help
both at bat and behind the
plate.
The same can be. said Of Bobo
Newsom, the much travelled
pitcher. The 38-year-old New
som, obtained via waivers from
the Washington Senators STEP
ped in and won seven games
for the Yankees since July II.
The work of Third Baseman
Billy johnson and the keystone
pair of Shortstop Phil Rizzuto
and Second Baseman George
Stirnweiss, has been effective.
The player who perhaps had
as much to do with the success
of the Yankees as any other is
Lefthander Joe Page, who came
from practical oblivion to be the
shining light in the Yankees
pennant drive.
Although he has made but
two starts and failed to last in
both, Page is the second big
gest winner on the club with
IA triumphs. He has appeared
in b. games, only two short OF
the club record for mounds
man. By an actual count, Page
has saved Is Yankees wins, in
addition to his IA triumphs. He
has an unusually fine strikeout
record for a relief pitcher, hav-
ing famed ia batsmen in 131
innings, an average of eight per
pipe.innin0 game

N. G.. State Football Team
Placed Under Quarantine

RALEIGH, Sept. Is @ -
A 14-day quarantine Of the N.
c. State college football team
was imposed today after doctors
had reported that one member
of the squad was suffering from
an acute case of infantile paral-
ysis.
The quarantine was effective
on Sept. II when the player
Don Mccormick, 20-year-old
freshman blocking back from
Greensboro-became ill.
The possibility arose that
should another case of polio de-
velop cancellation of the Duke

might result from an extension
of the quarantine.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. Is. - R)
= Pirate hiters enjoyed a hit
ting spree today which gave
Pittsburgh a 1872 victory over
Philadelphia and enabled the
Bucs to climb out of the National
League cellar.
Only 1888 fans, the smallest
crowd of the season, saw the
Pirates push the Phils into last
place, vacated by the Bucs.
Hank Greenberg collected his
25th homer of the season but
Ralph Kiner was unable to boost
his total past 40. He was limited
to a single.
Pirate Hurler Kirby Higbe
scattered eight hits and was
never in trouble while his mates
were collecting Is hits from
three Philadelphia pitchers.
The big Pirate inning came in
the fifth with four runs on two
hits. The victors scored in every
inning but the second.

Mccormick was excused from
practice last Thursday after
complaining he had difficulty
in bending his neck. He later
complained of pains in his right

CUBS WIN 3 TO z;
NINE-HlT PITCHING

CHICAGO, Sept. Is. - R -
Bob Chapman stopped Johnny
Sain short of his goth victory OF
the season here today with nine
hit pitching to give the Chicago
Cubs a 80 victory over the Bos-
ton Braves.
Chapman carefully doled out
hits, two OF which were extra
base blows which led to Bos-
toms two runs. Tommy Holmes
double and three walks gave the
Braves a run in the first, and
they added another in the fourth
on Dicks Culler's double and
Sain's single.
Eddie Waitkus sparked today's
victory with three hits, including
the triple that was turned into
run in the first on Sain's
wild pitch. He singled to start
the fourth, and scored on Cliff
Aberson's triple to center. The
latter counted the winning run
on Bill Nicholson's fly to right.

rivals.
In winning their first cham

they had a four-year gap from
1928 to '32 and from '32 to '36.
Il was the first flag won by
Yankee team not owned by
the late Col. Jacob Rupert or
his heirs. Larry MacPhail, the
current president; Dan Topping
and Del Webb purchased the
club from the Rupert Estate
In the winter of 1914. It also
marked the first time since 1882
that a Yankee pennant winner
was not under the direction OF
Joe Mccarthy. Mccarthy re-
signed as manager Of the Yanks
last year after coping nine
pennants in is years.
In winning the flag in his first
year at the helm, Bucky Harris
enjoys the unique distinction OF
being the only manager ever to
lead two pennant winners in his
first year as manager. He di-
rected the Washington Senators
to a flag as the 'Boy Manager"
Of 1924.
On June Is, the Yanks finally
wrested first place from tn e
Tigers and except for one day,
June 10, were never out of the
lead. A brilliant winning streak
Of 10 straight from June 10 to
July II pushed the Yankees far
out in front and practically end
cd the race then and there. By
the time the Tigers finally halt
ed the skein, the Yanks had
zoomed to an 11-game lead and
increased it as the season wore
on. Only once did they drop as
low as nine games in front.
In addition to the Tigers, the
only other club to offer mild
resistance was the defending
champion, Boston, but early
season injuries to Pitchers
Mickey Harris and Tex Hugh

Maggie and Bobby Doerr, hurt

Yankees success must be given
to DiMaggio. After failing to hit
better than 300 last year for
the first time since he broke
into the majors in 1896, the star
centerfielder was considered
washed up by many observers.
Off to a slow start because OF
a slowly healing left heel fol
lowing a winter operation, Dl-
Maggie suddenly gathered
steam and did not slow down
until the Yankees had opened
up huge lead. Currently Big
Joe is hitting around .320 and
