Jim Tobin Will Get Plenty of That "Sweet Revenge" Buildup Before The World Series Not Much Pirates Can Do About Getting Out of Pennant After Knocking Off Dodgers Twice Yesterday BV SID FEDER Associated Press Sports Writer Between now and the time Pie Traynor sits down to figure out the Pittsburgh pitcher he'll throw at the Yankees to start the world series, you're going to hear a lot of that "sweet revenge" buildup in favor of Jim Tobin. Of course, there's the little mat- A circular inch is the area a circle one inch in diameter.

BROTHERS FAR APART TUSCALOOSE, Sept. 22 Vice Bradford, Alabama's senior quarterback, hails from Memphis, but brother Frank, sophomore fullback, is listed from Detroit. ter of sewing up the National League pennant still in front of Pie and his Pirates, but after knocking off the Brooklyns twice, 6-0 and 11-6, yesterday, there doesn't seem much the Bucs can do any more bout getting out of it.

They're in a spot now where they can drop three of their ten remaining games and still win, even if the second-place Chicago Cubs sweep the 11 left on their schedule. It seems this "revenge is sweet" business pops up about every time the Yankees get into the series which, you may recall, has happened once or twice in past years. Last season they sang the same song about the Giant's Stringbean Cliff Melton who. like Tobin, was a Yankee castoff. But everybody forgot all about it after Gehrig and company pinned the Mickey Mouse man's large aers back.

Wants to Work About Tobin, there are whispers he is looking for a chance to go to work on them thr Yanks. The world champions obtained him from Oakland in '36, then left him there to undergo an appendectomy, and in '37, after bringing him up again, they sold him "down the river" to the Bucs. The story now is that Jim doesn't figure he got a square shake, that the Yanks didn't give him enough of a try-out to show he knew the difference between his fast one and his curve. Grid Picks Contest Week Ending September 24, 19S8 slick stickwork in the nightcap, the Bucs left for the west still boasting a 3 game edge over the Cubs, who also turned in a double-win over the Phils in the first full National League program in four days. Bill Lee equalled a National League record with his fourth straight shutout, by a 4-0 count in the opener, and Clay Bryant came through 2-1 in the afterpiece.

The Giants regained third place by kicking the Cincinnati Reds around twice. 6-1 and 2-1, leaving the race in this condition: Games G's to W. L.

Although his arm is so sore it aches on every pitch, prince Hal tossed a six-hitter, following up his seven-hitter against the Pirates last week. In the nightcap, Harry Gumbert gave up only three hits. The Yankees finally snapped out of their eight-year record six-game losing streak by overpowering the White Sox, 7-4, calling on their handy little habit of homer-hammering to do it. Red Rolfe and Joe Gordon supplied out-of-the-lot power in this lone game on the American League card. Boston's Bees, determined to hang onto fifth place in the senior circuit chase, nipped the Cardinals twice, 6-5 and 4-1.

m. WTJS So, it won't be Jim's fault if the Eucs boot the pennant now. He's been pretty much the "bell-cow" of the Pirates pitching in recent weeks. Yesterday, his four-hit job in the opener took all the starch out of the Dodgers, who have been about as pleasant as the hives to the Pittsburghs this year. Before that he stopped the Giants twice in as many starts, just when it appeared Bill Terry'e terriers were getting tough again.

Prior to that he halted what looked like the start of a losing streak with a five-hitter against the Cubs. To this corner, he looks like th ePirate pitcher who can give the Yanks the most trouble.
