We Had Better Find Our Stars Soon

The National Al-Orental Basketball Tolrna-
ment is just around the comer-a month and half
away--and it will find the classicst Chinese and
Japanese American squads in this world battling
for the coveted championship which last year was
won by st. Mary's Saints of California.
And thrown into this group of select cage quin-
tets, will be the Seattle All Stars playing under the
banner of the Nsei Veterans Committee
The Seattle All-Sta1s, at this writing, will be
competing in the casaba classics just to be partici-
patlng and, Of course, to put up some kind of a
fight against the other outfits.
The Seattletes' chances, however of winning
much recognition in the meet are slim in view of
the fact that the team hasn't been formed.
Unless they are selected pronto, put into uni
form. given an Al coach who has the respect of
the men, assigned plays in practice sessions and
groomed for team fnesse, there isn't much hope
that they will be anything but another band of in
divdual cagers.
To retrace the all-Oriental tournament history
of 4S: the Hawaii All-Stars, who reached the fl
ais; the Chicago Huskies. who captured the conso-
lation prize; and st. Marv's Saints, who zOomed
into the championship, will be three of the eight
teams which will be vieng for titular awards.
Added to these three formidable squads will be
the California entry which is to come out of the
Drake tournament in San Francisco and which,
without doubt. will give the favorites a strong
battle throughout the tournament

Special Dispatch 10 The Stor

CLEVELAND, Sept. 16.-While
waiting action against the contend
ing Cleveland Indians in Municipal
Stadium tonight, the skidding
Washington Nationals reflected bit
terly upon the first fruits OF their
final Western tour.
Three defeats in Detroit, stretch
ing their losing streak to Is straight,
had dropped the Mats perilously
close to the American League cellar.
Only a game and a half separated
them from the Chicago White Sox.
who had seemed sure to finish last
until Washington began its Septem-
ber plunge toward the depths.
Now the White Sox see a chance
for an exit. The cellar door stands
ajar, inviting the Mats to come in
and make themselves more uncom-
Portable than they already are.
Only one team under Clark
Griffth,s stewardship, beginning In
1912, has ever been bedded in the
basement at the end Of a season
and Joe Kuhel is doing what ne
can to see that it doesn't happen in
his first year as manager.
The last time the Mats finished in
the cellar was in 1914 under Ossie
Bluege.
Kuhel's Efforts Futile.
Kuhel has shuff1ed and reshufled
his batting order without avail, he
has turned desperately to rookie
pitchers coming up from the farm
clubs only to be disappointed by
their lack of talent. When Kuhel
finally rested his eyes on a recruit
capable of winning, it was OF no
help to the Mats.
The newcomer wore a Detroit
uniform. His name is Louis A.
Kretlow. He reported to the Tigers,
after season with Williamsport,
Pa, of the Eastern League, and
yesterday he pitched them to a T.
to-2 victory over Washington.
Kretlow worked with recruit
catcher, Myron (Joe) Ginsberg, who
had been his battery partner at
Williamsport. They collected three
of the 10 hits Detroit made OF Milo
Candini and Tom Ferrick.

Candini pitched well enough TO
win but the Mats aren't winning in
these troubled times. The best they
could get In their final game with
Detroit was 4 six-inning draw, 2
to 2. In the seventh the Tigers
broke the tie at Candini's expense

Mats Held to 9 Hits.
Kretlow held the Mats to nine hits,
two of which were doubles by
Sherry Robertson, who was drawn
into the lineup in another of Kuhers
efforts to break the Washington
slump.
Robertson's first double scored
Mickey Vernon from first base. His
second two-bagger opened the eighth
inning, suggesting rally that did
not develop. The hope Of the Mats
ended when Early Wynn, batting
for Candini, was retired on an in

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Billy
Meyer, the realist, would like
nothing better than to pull the
upset of the year by winning the
National League pennant, but the
astute pilot of the second-place
Pittsburgh club doesn't believe
any team will catch the runaway
Boston Braves now.
"The schedule is very much in
their favor, and with Johnny
Sain and Warren SPAIN pitching
every other day like they've been
doing, I don't see how my club
or any other can catch the
Braves" he said.
Boston has only IS games left
to play, most of them at home"
he went on. Except for four
games with Cincinnati at Forbes
Field, we play all our remaining
games on the road.
Then, too, we simply don't
have the pitching depth needed
to make up that five-game def
cit. My staff is tired and over
worked. Those double headers
in recent days haven't helped,
either. I was forced to start such
veterans as Fritz Ostermueller
and Elmer Riddle against Brook
lyn yesterday with less than
their usual rest. Their work
showed it, too."
The grizzled 55-year-old native
OF Knoxville, Tenn, in his first
big league managerial attempt,
confessed he was highly satisfied
with his teams showing this
season.
II never kidded myself. never
had any Illusions" he said. Il
said so before, and I repeat. I'll
consider it a successful season If
we wind up in the first division.

Drop 7 Of II in
10-Run Rally by Home
Club Slices Hubmen's
Edge to w Games
BY the Associated Press

The Boston Red Sox's inability
to hold their own with the cellar
dwelling White Sox in Chicago this
year could cost them the American
League pennant.
Murdered in Boston's Fenway
Park where they dropped 10 of II
games, the White Sox have whipped
the league leaders in of II games
at home.
Ted Lyons crew yesterday added
insult to injury, by handing Joe
McCarthyS outfit it's worst beating
of the season. The White Sox ex-
ploded for 10 runs in the seventh
inning to blitz the Red Sox, ITO.
The defeat melted Boston's margin
over the> runnerup New York YAM
KEGS to a game and half The
third-place Cleveland Indians, who,
like the Yanks, were idle, also picked
up half game and they now trail
by 3la games.
Taft Wright was the big noise in
the White Sox rally. The veteran
outfielder went to bat twice In the
big seventh inning and drove in five
runs, -four on a grand-slam homer
which climaxed the uprising. Thir-
teen White Sox went to bat against
Dave Ferriss and Earl Caldwell.
Kramar Takes Beating.
Despite the savage attack against
Ferriss and Caldwell, Starting
Pitcher Jack Kramer, winner of Is
games, was charged with the loss,
his fifth. Kramer was shelled from
the hill in the third, when the
White Sox tailed four times to take
a Al lead.
The only brigh spot as far as Bos-
ton was concerned was the hitting
of Ted Williams. Williams collected
five singles in six trips to boost his
Ileague-leading batting mark to .377.
While the White Sox upset the
Red Sox, Chicago's other last-place
entry in the majors, the Cubs, con-
tinued to act as cousins" for the
National Leagues pennant-bound
Boston Braves.
The Braves, aided by four errors,
clipped the Cubs, So, in their final
meeting Of the season. The triumph
was their 10th over the Cubs in %
outings this season.
Lefty Warren SPAIN scattered
nine hits in winning his 14th game
Of the year. The Braves nicked Los
ing Pitcher Doyle Lade for four runs
| in the first six innings.
The triumph enabled the Braves
to stay five games ahead of the run
nerup Pittsburgh Pirates, who
whipped the Giants, 8-3, in New
York. Dixie Walker drove in three
OF the Pirates runs with single
and double. Ernie Bonham checked
the Giants on seven hits, two hon.
ers by Whitley Lockman and Johnny
Mize.
Cards Tie for Third.
The st. Louis Cardinals moved
into tie with the Brooklyn Dodgers
for third place, a half game behind
Pittsburgh, by beating Philadelphia,
20, while the Dodgers split a twin
bill with the Cincinnati Reds.
After the Reds edged the Dodgers,
80, in the opener behind the six
hit pitching of Howie Fox, Brooklyn
grabbed the nightcap, 81, as Lefty
Preacher Roe spun q seven-hitter
for his 10th victory.
Big George Munger stopped the
Phils under the lights at Philadel-
phia on three hits as the Cards
blanked the Phils for the second

By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10
Eddie Dyer may be whistling in
the dark, but he insists the
National League pennant race
isn't over yet"

manager sat in the dugout prior
to last nights 20 victory over
the Phillies and weighed his
teams chances of overhauling
the pace-setting Boston Braves.
Il don't like pulling the old
while there's life there's hope
routine but as long as the
Cards have a mathematical
chance to cop, don't sell us
short" Dyer said.
