26 Griffs May Clin ch Pennant Today : Yankees Now Have Only Forlorn Hope of Tie LOSS FOR YANKS OR WIN FOR BUCKS MEANS TITLE Nervous Strain Handicapping Nationals Is Dissipated —Due to Grab Banner by One of Four Lowest Percentages Ever Recorded in League. BY JOHN B. KELLER. BOSTON’, September 29.—Big league base ball history may be made today. Nationals and Red Sox arc scheduled to clash in Fenway Park here, while down in Philadelphia Yankees and Athletics are to meet in Shihe Park. A victory for the Nationals or a defeat for the Yankees would give Washington the highest honor in the American League for the season of 1924 and its first major diamond circuit cham pionship. The Nationals, as champions, would have earned the pennant by one of the four lowest winning percentages ever recorded on the hooks of the expanded American League and by one of the six lowest in the an nals of both big circuits. Th best percentage the Nationals can get by heating the Red Sox today and tomorrow is .603. But three American League champions have ended their campaigns below that percentage, while in the National League one got a title with that percentage and another with smaller figures. In the past 24 years in the Ameri can League. Detroit and Boston I teams have been champions with winning- percentages below .600. De troit grabbed the laurels with .588 in 1908. atter a terrific struggle, to finish a game ahead of Cleveland. In 1916, Boston, with .591. nosed out j Chicago by two games, and again in 1918. with .595. boat out Cleveland by a game and a half. Tile National League was 25 years old before Pittsburgh won a pennant, in 1900. with a winning average of .603. the mark the Nationals may reach. A Philadelphia club has been the only one not to break .600 and get a |s>nnant in the older organiza tion. The Phillies of 1915 did that when they rode to a championship with a winning average of .592. Nervous Strain Disnppenr*. Revived by Saturday's triumph over the Red Sox. white the Yanks were bowing to the Macks, it is quite like ly the Nationals will step out and clinch the American U-apue pennant . today. Just before the second clash with the Red Sox. the Bucks were noticeable depressed, and another jolt Saturday afternoon may have proved a knockout so far as their championship aspirations were con cerned. But the week end happen ings in this stirring American League title race proved a wonderful ionic for Manager Bucky Harris’ aggrega tion. That nervous strain, due to the in tensive drive through the West, and the mental depression following Fri day's loss here, have disappeared and the morale of the club has improved wonderfully. This reaction to the re moval of the pressure, under which they have been battling, really, more than half the season, ought to make a marked difference in the play of the Bucks this afternoon. In Friday’s engagement, the club showed only too plain the effects of their efforts to stand off the deter mined rush of the Yankees, and though they seemed to have a better chance of victory Saturday, their w ork was far below the standard they had been playing to. Moral courage, though, and the inspiring leadership of Harris, pulled them through. Now. stimulated by success, and their fighting qualities intensified, truly brilliant playing by the Bucks today would occasion no surprise. All are eager to end the race as quickly as possible and once again the men realize they can win if they have the will to win. for their mechanical abil ity is great enough at least to match that of the opposition here. tirHT* liny Face Ex-Griff. Today the Bucks may have to bat against a pitcher who was their team mate the early part of this season. Fred Wingfield, who gave promise of becoming a fair hurler while at the Tampa training camp last Spring, but failed to show much ability after the campaign got going, is likely to be sent to the slab by Manager Lee Fohl LOWER POSITIONS IN RACE DUE TO BE SETTLED TODAY By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. September 29. Base ball fans, deprived of their sport of ’‘doping - ’ win ners in the major leagues by the victory of the Giants and the ap parent success of the Nationals, have transferred their speculation to these two teams in the coming world scries struggle, which begins Saturday at Washington unless a play-off in the American League be comes necessary. Both Griffmen and Yankees were Idle yesterday, and the latter will pursue their slim hope of a tie to day. It will be necessary - for the champions of the world to defeat Philadelphia twice while Washington loses its two remaining contests with Boston. A tie and a play-off of three games would then result. Otherwise the king will be dead. The problem of picking his suc cessor will be a difficult and worthy climax to a sensational year. Wash ington, by its aggressive rise to the top of the American League in mid season and its tenacious grip on the position throughout the desperate struggle with New York and Detroit, has achieved a reputation as a fight ing team. The Giants, however, displayed tra ditional spirit in rising to the occa sion with a crippled team to defeat Dittsburgh and now are relaxing with a recruit lineup in the field to prepare for the coming test against Washington. It is expected that both Groh and Frisch will be ready for the classic. Brooklyn finished its season yes terday by clinching the second-place money in the National Deague share of the series as Dazzy Vance won his 28th game in a 5-to-l victory over Boston. Vance added nine strikeouts to his record and held the Braves to three hits until the ninth when they made two in succession for their only run, Pittsburgh definitely fell to third place when the Cubs drove Meadows off the mound and won, 7 to 4. Jacobs pitched in fine form. ' The Giants, with most regulars resting, eased up and lost a 11-6 slugging battle to the Phillies. St. Louis split a double-header with Cin cinnati. winning the first, 9 to 3. as Rhem, a recruit, won his second con test, but losing the next, 8 to 2. when Day, another rookie, was hit freely. The Cardinals made 16 hits off Dono hue in the first, but Benton held them case in the nightcap. In the only American League game played, Detroit and Chicago w r ent 10 innings to a 10 to 10 tie until dark ness forced the calling of the battle. It will be replayed today. The White Sox, never have finished in last place, could by winning, tie Boston for seventh if Washington trims the Red Sox. The St. Louls-Cleveland game was postponed - Jt-was-thp SPORTS. Since coming to the Red Sox from I Chattanooga, whence he was farmed by the Bucks. Wingfield has pitched well. Manager Harris was expected to choose Jez Zachary, who practically pulled Saturday's game out of the fire, for his pitcher in the third game of this important series. Right now. Zachary appears to be in better form than any other hurler on the Bucks' staff, and has a splendid chance to gain the distinction of having pitch ed the Bucks to victory in the de cisive game of the pennant struggle. Much of the Nationals' playing in the two games here was decidedly below par, considering their play in the West as a standard. But two of them performed in fine style. Bucky Harris was steady in his fielding and executed several noteworthy plays in each of the engagements. Ossie Bluege had no chances Friday, but Saturday was kept busy around the hot corner, and in both games batted creditably. While other Bucks could put no snap into their work these two never lost their poise for an instant. The nervous strain occasioned by the grueling flag race is not felt by the players only. Even such veteran base ball men as President Clark Griffith and Coach Nick Altrock be come unstrung when fate seems against the Nationals. Several times recently the battle has become too in tense for Nick's oastiron nerve and he has had to leave the field. Proxy Griffith, who is accompanying his club this trip, likes a box seat near the Bucks’ dugout and always occupies one when affairs are running smoothly for his team on the field. When the Bucks are trailing, though, he moves to the back of the grandstand and does not return to the front row un til the situation is less acute. Bill Smith, road secretary of the club, eats no supper the day the Bucks are defeated. Bill is losing no weight, at that. Another one of the Bucks’ hurlers is complaining of a sore arm. Fred Marberry reported trouble in his pitching wing yesterday, hut Trainer Mike Martin believes it only a slight muscle strain. That Marberry's arm is bothering him is not surprising. All Fred has done this season is work in 49 games, going into 9 of the 18 during the present trip. Fred de clares he is ready to toil today and tomorrow, though, if necessary, and that a few days of rest will prime him for emergency use in a world series. That rest yesterday was the third the Bucks have had on a Sunday dur ing the campaign, and it was the first Sunday this season they were not scheduled to play. Some of the ath letes spent the day sight-seeing in and about Boston; others attended foot ball games, while a small party went to the South Shore on a fishing trip. time in 14 years that a Sunday battle , was called off in Cleveland and no , holiday engagements have been in terferred with during that period.

Leon Goslin Is “Prince of Whalers” Among the Griff men WORK on the farm did not annoy Leon Allen Goslin very much when there was no base ball game in the neighbor hood, but with a diamond tilt on, his father’s south Jersey agricultural in terests suffered considerably. Leon was born in Salem, N. J., October 16, 1900, but was taken to the farm at a tender age, and as soon as he was old enough was turning fur rows. The farm got much from Leon each year until bast ball got under way then Leon was as apt as not to leave plow and horses in the middle of the field and hustle to the game. That Leon's father disciplined the son severely for such acts failed to dis courage the young man. He just had to be around base ball. When about 16, Leon had become such a pitcher and batter he was in vited-to join the Salem nine, then one of the leading organizations of south Jersey. To belong to that club was indeed an honor, according to the youth of the countryside, and when Leon after a short time had estab lished himself as the best player of the club, he was hailed as "The” ball player of the southern section of the State. A couple of years later his fame had so spread that semi-professional teams were bidding for his services and he prospered considerably as a pitcher. Finally Bill McGowan, who had been and still is umpiring in the Southern Association, saw Leon in a couple of games in south Jersey and thought the young pitcher good enough for a minor league trial. Leon, known far and wide as "Goose.” was quite ready to take a chance when Bill told him of a job open at Columbia in the South At lantic League, so there the Salem boy went in 1920. He did some fair pitch ing in the Sally League, but proved much more formidable at bat than on the mound and the next year Columbia used hint in the outfield as much as in the box. That started Leon upon a ‘'fence busting" career in the hill region of ihe Carolinas and ended his pitching job. He hammered the ball so hard that his fame spread to the big leagues and the Nationals lost no time in picking him oft. He came to Wash ington as an outfielder only in the latter part of the 1921 season and has done much to strengthen the club, topping all the Bucks at the business of driving in runs. “Goose" is a free swinger. The fans even enjoy see ing him strike out —he does it so whole-heartedly. HOME-RUN HONORS REGAINED BY RUTH CHICAGO, September 29. Babe Ruth, stellar slugger of the New York Yankees, has regained the home run crown that he shared last .year with Cy Williams of the Philadelphia Na tionals, and which he lost in 1922 to Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Na tionals. With the season virtually ended the Babe has 46, while his nearest competitors, Joe Hauser, Philadelphia Americans, and Jacques Fournier, Brooklyn Nationals, have 27 each. Hornsby and Williams are next with 25 apiece. EAST IS STRONGEST SECTION IN THE A. L. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 29. —The Eastern and Western divisions of the National and American Leagues have retreated to their respective sections to wind up the campaign with the season's honors divided in intersec tional games, so far as divisions are concerned. The Western brigade carried off the honors in the National League by a margin of 25 games, while the fine work of Washington during the last six weeks enabled the Eastern contingent to come out on top in the junior circuit. The New York Yankees also during the latter weeks played above their previous intersectional strength so that the Eastern quartet as a unit finished with an advantage of 26 games. The Brooklyn club, which has been making a game fight for the National League pennant, was the best inter sectional performer in either league, with a mark of .591. Washington and the Yankees were tied for second place, with .580, and two National League clubs—Chicago and Pitts burgh—were even for third, with .575. The Boston Nationals proved the weakest intersectional performer, with a mark of .356, four points below the Phillies. “LITTLE WORLD SERIES” UMPIRES ARE SELECTED NEW YORK, September 29.—011ie Chill of the American Association and Harry C.

X MUST WIN TWO AS GRIFFS DROP PAIR TO GET A DRAW Standing About Settled in Old Circuit With Pirates the Worst Flivver-—lnability to Cop Proves Bitter Disappointment to Ty Cobb. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW YORK, September 29.—Three-fourths of the anxiety of the Washington fans was abated Saturday by the victory that the Nationals pulled out of defeat at Boston. There remains, how ever, a final fourth that may continue right up to the last inning of the last game of the season tomorrow. For the Yankees still have a chance to tie the standings and necessitate a play-off for the title. It’s still the old story of “if” in the American League. If the Yankees win today’s game and if the Nationals lose, the race still is on. hotter han ever However, if the Griffmcn win, the pennant is clinched, despite the worst that the Yankees can do. For \ hC Cdge in J the race is decidedly with Washington, hor even if the Yankees won today and tomorrow and the Nationals lost, he Yanks expended in catching up would count against them The standings are about settled in the National League. The Giants have their fourth straight champion ship clinched. Brooklyn is sure of second place and. considering the Brooklyn club’s season-long record, the Brooklyns did extraordinarily well to finish second. They began the sea son as if they would do well to finish at the top of the second division and they narrowly escaped finishing there. It was due mainly to the fine work of the Brooklyn pitchers that they came along as well as they did. A change or two in the line-up helped, and no change was more helpful than that which sent Brown to center field, a move that propped up a team that was all too shaky in the outfield I Pirates Fllvvrrrd Badly. Pittsburgh is sure of third place and it is no particular credit to the club that it finished that well, for it is a nine which did not meet the ex pectations of base ball men when the opportunity was before it. Detroit will capture third place in the Amer ican League, but while there is honor in being third, it is not a finish that in any way can appease the longing Ty Cobb had to win a pennant this year. Cobb was especially eager to cap ture the pennant this year because, as he said frankly to the writer. "I don't feel as if I would be able to play much longer." That's the first time so far as the writer knows that Cobb has ever admitted feeling the strain under which he has been laboring for years on the field, expending his vitality more freely and in greater volume than almost any man in base ball. The fans had almost come to believe that he could go on forever. Once last year he seemed to falter, but this Spring he came back to the game BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS AMERICAN LEAGUE. £l2 O <£ ►aid B Q < Ml s' si? 7 £ S S S I i E *,£ o 5.,2. g ■ ■ » 2 iii- \r «!a :i; • : £ Sin; I: Hi |: I: I: : 1 • j Washington . —l3 14 9115 11121791 61.599 | New fork 1 9 9 12:18 14 17 16 89 63 .586 i Detroit ..! 8 13~ 911 15 16 14 86 67 .562 i St. Lonia . .13 10 13— 91011 874 78.487 j Philadelphia 7 8 1113.—11 10 11 71 81.467 I Cleveland 11 8 7 11 11— 8 11 67 Beaten I85!6!11 18 14 lO 66 8677434 I Chicago 15 6 7 13 11 11 12 —65 87 .428 Games lost . . <6l 63 67 78 81 86 86 87 YESTERDAY’S RESULTS.
