THE EVENING INDEPENDENT. MASSILL.ON. OHIO TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 12. 1933 WASHINGTON'S HITTING ABILITY MAY BE CHECKED BY PITCHING STRENGTH OF N.

Y. GIANTS By WILLIAM Central Press Sports Editor That grand old figure of speech about the irrestible force colliding with the immovable object may describe the 1833 -world series problem if the New York Giants and Washington Senators meet and it's better than 10 to 1 they in the fall The Giants have the pitchers and it orice was considered smart to But no hitters. That is, they have batters who do very little successful batting. The Senators have the hitters and And the Senator? have. some pretty fair moundsmen too.

But thew do not compare, as a group, on this season's showing, with the brilliant elbowmen of the Terriers. The Giants would seem to have the edge, because of their pitchers. In setting the pace in the National league the New Yorkers licked several clubs who compare favorably in batting strength with the Senators. The American league has so dominated the world series since 1925 that it has become almost second nature with baseball writers and fans to rate the junior circuit's entry as favorite each year. 1933 Washington club is a smart, hustling team, but it lacks the great batting power and brilliant array of pitchers which the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics possessed when they were making the autumnal classics annual massacres.

Heinle Manush, Goose Goslin, Joe Kuhel, Buddy Myer and Joe Gronln arc good. hitters, but they hardly measure up to the old Yank combination of Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri Combs or the A's great group of Simmons Foxx and Miller. And as for Crowder, Monte Weaver, Earl Whitehall, Wally Stewart and Bob Burke, are as good a group as the American league now can show, but would you take 'em in a -trade for that old Yankee quartet of Pennock, Hoyfc Shocker- and Pipgras or Connie Mack's Grove Earnshaw Wnlberg Rommel setup? Neither would we. The Giants, Jf they win, will have successfully concluded, a much harder job than the Senators can have had in winning the American league pennant. Washington had but to step along in second they were a poor second at the sudden collapse of the Yankees 'destroyed New York's pennant hopes.

The Senators stepped- into the lead. Tbf! Giants not only needed to overcome the repeated challenges of Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis and Boston to remain on top but also to develop a fine fighting morale, a morale, always, menaced by thought. that just a season ago thcp 1 were in the second division and that until Sept. 1 many still regarded them as a team playing 'ytav over their heads.

It's been no picnic for Bill Terry'5 boys. They've been through the a world series should find them supremely confident of taking the games in their stride. JOHNNY MARCUM HURLS ATHLETICS INTO THIRD PLACE AS INDIANS ARE DEFEATED CHANGES IN LINEUP FAIL TO END LOSING STREAK OF REDSKINS By ORLO ROBERTSON Associated Press Sports Writer ONNIE MACK'S problem of finding a right Ohio College Football Coaches Busy As Fall Practice Sessions Are Started handed pitcher to fit into the mound staff he is building for 1933 apparently has been solved by Johnny Marcum, from Louisville of the American association. While the New York Giants were strengthening their lead in the National league and the Washington Senators were adding to their advantage in the American circuit yesterday, Marcum, making his second major league start, pitched his second shutout as Philadelphia trimmed the White Sox twice. After Lefty Grove turned in his 21st victory of the season with a 5 to 3 decision over Ted Lyons in the first game, young Marcum ran his big-league record to 18 scoreless innings with an 8 to 0 triumph.

Indians In Fourth Pla-ce The double victory boosted the Athletics into ihird place, one-ha If game in front of the Indians, who were the victims of Monte Weaver's effective pitching at Washington, the Senators winning 5 to I. Walter Johnson, manager of the Tribe, juggled his lineup yesterday in an effort to break the Indians' losing streak, which now has reached six games. He shifted the batting order to make the attack more effective and substituted the rookie Hal Trosky for Harley Boss, at first. Trosky was the second best home run hitter in the American association the past season. All the changes meant nothing to the however, and only Bill Knickerbocker, who recently returned to the lineup following his recovery from a spike wound, was able to hit Weaver.

Knickerbocker secured three hits in four times up, the only Indian able to get more than one hit. Ferrell Has Three Putouts Wesley Ferrell, who is being tried in outfield went hitless yesterday but had foiir putouts. The Indians had but one error, that by By The Associated Press Brawn and brains were drawn into mobilization of the football camps of dozens of Ohio colleges today as hundreds of husky linemen, fleet ends and triple-threat backfield candidates answered the call to the football wars of 1933. Coaches who summoned their men to the first practice sessions yesterday began the weeks of drill it will take to whip their teams into shape for the moment when the gates ol the stadiums open for the "big games" of the season. The eyes of the wary grid mentors were looking for centers, guards, and tackles, for ends, and of course, for bali carriers.

A new college is preparing to fly its colors over Ohio gridirons this fnll. At Lebanon, Coach Wendel Eeattie, formely of Morris Harvey college at Barbourville, W. found i'J candidates ready to play for the newly founded Arthur Holbrook col- icge. He ordered a light workout in preparation for the first game, with Ashland Sept. 22.

At Kent State a new coach took charge of the two-hour drill of the Golden Flashes. He is Joe W. Begala, whose appointment was announced today. Seventeen letter men were among the 50 hopefuls at the University of Cincinnati for the initial workout Also at Cincinnati, Xavier university's coach, Joe Meyer, found 14 letter men among his 35 candidates. Marietta College launched a practice schedule of two workouts a day RELEASE BY BOSTON AIDS LOCAL PLAYER Hale in the first inning and it accounted, for a Washington run.

With all their weak hitting- the Indians only secured one less hit off Weaver than the Nats were able to gather off Harder and Hudlin. Three of the Senators' however traveled for extra bases whereas ail of the Indians' blows were singles. Coupled with the Tigers' 5 to 1 decision over the New York Yankees, over the world champions to nine and one-half games. They need- only eight victories in their remaining 16 games to clinch the pennant even if the Yanks win all of their remaining 18 contests. Giants Win Fifth Straight In the National league the Giants, with their nearest rivals, the Cubs and Pirates, rained out, increased their lead over Chicago to eight games and over Pittsburgh to eight and one-half by beating the lowly Cincinnati Reds, 3 to 1.

It was the Giants' fifth straight victory. Again Manager Bill Terry called his ace of aces, Carl Hub- hell, to save, the game. It was the second time in as many days Hubbell had been shoved into the breach. It also was the 41st game in which he had taken part. He now has pitched 285 1-3 innings, more than 31 full games' and fanned 146 batsmen.

The Boston Braves retained their mathematical chance of winning the National league pennant by beating the Cardinals, 3 to 0. The Cleveland box score: "WASHINGTON AB. E. H. O.

Fothergill went to Boston at the start of this season in a player trade with Chicago but saw service with the Sox only as a pinch hitter Finally when the Boston club began rebuilding and replacing veterans with younger blood, Bobby was given his unconditional release. A few days later he signed with Minneapolis of the American Association at a reported salary of 5600 a month for the balance of the campaign and a good sized bonus. Now he stands to make some more money as Minneapolis and Columbus today begin their big playoff series for the championship of the American Association. Since joining the Millers, Fothergill has swung a potent bat and hif swatting average Sunday was .346 Early reports today indicated that Bobby would be in right field for the Millers this afternoon when they face the Red Birds at Columbus in the opening game of the series. The first three games of the series will be played here, one today ant two others at night, Wednesday and Thursday.

The teams will carry on Saturday at Minneapolis, playing until one wins four games. The two clubs will be fighting for the right to meet the cnampion of the International League in the little world series, as well as for thu title in their own association. For individual pla-yers, a title would mean $800 each to the members of the winning an additional $200 each should pennant-winners go ahead and win the little world series. When the Red Birds finished the season in first place by winning their 101st game of the season from Toledo, it was the first time Columbus has had a first place ball club since 1907. It won the title in 1905, 1906 and 1907.

The birds will go into today's series opener topheavy favorites by virtue of their record of having led Wt.tcri_ 1 the league since May -17, and the fact that in 22 games against Minneapolis they won 13 and lost nine. In 11 games between the contending clubs at Columbus this year, the Red Birds won eight. The Millers rely on a strong batting punch, featured by the home run proclivities of Joe Hudlin. rind Moriarty.

Ross Canzoneri Clash Tonight in Title Battle Lightweights Booked For 15 Round Argument At New York Polo Grounds with 20 men out of a squad of 48. Harry Barber of an Buckeye tackle of two years ago was among the nearly 50 men who will try to make the squad at Ohio Wesleyan.

At Cleveland the Western Reserve Red Cats learned that Barren Keady, son of Coach Tom Keady could not enroll this semester. He was an important part of the Reserve attack last year. Four full teams worked under the guidance of Coach Ray Ride at Case, and Coach Ralph Vincc of John Carroll put 30 men through a drill which included punting and passing. Coach Stobbs at Springfield started a hunt for a new center and two guards for his Wittenberg team. He has 18 letter men available.

Ashland college also had drills opening today. Mount Union started off with 26 candidates, 10 still being expected to report. Only 15 candidates reported to Coach Bill Bernlohr at Capital university in Columbus but a dozen more are expected. Denison university, in the, Ohio conference this year after withdrawing from the Buckeye, started practice with 30 men. Two drills were held at Wooster with 40- candidates including 15 lettermen.

At Oberlin Coach Lysle Butler looked forward to a start next Friday, delayed because of an agreemejjjjd" with 'Rochester university, Oberlin'sT first opponent. SCORES IN AMATEUR LOW TERRIS, ROSS SINGER LEONARD CROSS Four famed lightweight stars of the past drop in on Barney world's lightweight champion, as he trained in New York, to give him some expert advice on how to prevent Tony Canzoneri from winning back the title in their coming battle. The four ex-stars of the lightweights are Sid Terr is, Al Singer, Benny Leonard, the greatest lightweight of recent years, and Dr. Leach Cross. By HERBERT W.

BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 12, Barney Ross' 49th professional fight won him. the lightweight championship. His 50th takes him into the ring at the polo grounds tonight for a 15-round defense of the crown against the veteran he dethroned, Tony Canzoneri of New York. Ross thus disregards all 'the traditions of the game not only by putting his title in jeopardy so soon but by giving Canzoneri the first whack at it.

Ross will be travelling the 15 round route for the first time and will be meeting Canzoneri in the town where Tony has been a fis-" tic idol for a half dozen years, but he has shown no lack of confidence in the outcome. He thinks he will whip Canzoneri more decisively tonight than he did in Chicago a couple of months ago at 10 rounds. Promoter Tim Mara reports advance sales of $70,000 and, with fair weather, predicts a crowd of 40,000 and gross receipts of close to $150,000. A crowd of at least 30,000 contributing receipts total- ling fully $100,000 seems assured even through the most conservative The betting odds remained just where they have been for several to 10 against, and take jour choice. The critics concede Ross a slight edge on the score of his youth and stamina.

The main bout is scheduled for about 9 P. (E. S. There will be no broadcast. Thirty-Six Hole Total Of 150 May Be Needed To Qualify TWO BREAK PAR By JAMES L.

RENICK Associated Press Sports Writer CINCINNATI, Sept. On the heels of the wildest scoring spree in the history of amateur golf, the 37th national championship boomed into its second day with the prospect that a score of 150 would be needed to qualify. Should two 75s be required to reach the charmed of 32 players who start match competition Wednesday, it would 'be the lowest qualifying score on record. Last year at Five Farms players who shot 152 fought it out for the last position in a playoff. 152 Take Part Yesterday 152 players teed off in the opening 18 hole test and by nightfall 101 had reported scores of less than 80, and 45 had compiled 75 or less.

This would indicate, if the performance is repeated today, that no less than a dozen should go into a playoff for the last position in the select group. Opening day honors were divided between C. Ross (Sandy) Somerville, the Canadian defending titleholder, and young Jack Monger of Dallas, who carved out sub-par rounds of 70 over the Kenwood course in the face of a stiff southwest breeze that hampered other players. While only these two gave old man par a lacing, a gronp of capable shotmakers wag close behind ready to step to the front today the instant one of the leaders showed signs of faltering. One stroke behind the leaders and even with par came George T.

Dun- i lap of Mt. Vernon, New York, member of the 1932 Walker cup team and former intercollegiate champion. Still one stroke removed from Dunlap and tied for fourth place were no less than seven players, including such favorites as Johnny Goodman, Johnny Fischer, Gus Moreland, Pat Sawyer, Willie Turnesa, William R. Long, and Don Edwards. GOLF FACTS NOT ALEX.J.

C. Boles here Monday as he held two sessions of opening practice at Wooster college. Coach Boles is starting his eighteenth season as the Scots 'mentor.

Light work was on the program Mon- dsy, with much running included In the morning r.nd afternoon practices. Preliminary hunting for suitable passers and kickers began. Coach Boles also is experimenting in play calling tactics, which would eliminate the huddle. Two practices will be held today and Wednesday, with workouts being reduced to one a day Thursday, when classes start. Independent Want Ads are great silent salesmen.

The Sweaney Bakers, leading local Softball team, will battle for the championship of a tournament being conducted at Lakeside stadium and $150 in prize money when they meet the Trail's Ends, of Alliance, at the stadium tonight at 9 o'clock. The game was scheduled for Monday night but was postponed because of rain. To win the tourney title the Bakers will have to beat the Alliance squad twice. If they win the first game, the second will start 15 minutes later. The double win will be necessary as the tourney is a two-defeat affair and the Trail's Ends have not been beaten.

Once before the Sweaneys met the Trail's Ends in the -tourney, on last Thursday evening, and were handed their only defeat "in the event, a 8-3 setback. The loss was the resuit of one wild inning by two Baker hurlers who allowed the Alliance squad five runs without a Jilt. Joe Donchess, Cleveland hurler imported for the tourney, is expected to start the game for the Trail's Ends in the Thursday game and was hit rather hard by the Bakers, especially in the last few innings. A victory over him would be quite pleasing to the Sweaneys. Despite the fact that it was largely his wildness which caused them to lose the Thursday game, Bob Hamel is expected to start for the Sweaneys.

Prior to the Thursday battle, Hamel was one of the outstanding pitchers in the tourney and if he can control his delivery he has more than an even chance to beat Donchess. Who will start the second game if the Bakers win the first is uncertain although it is possible that it will be Lee Kutz who pitched the Sweaneys to a 5-1 victory over the Judge Maddens, of Cleveland, in their semifinal battle, Sunday, allowing only four hits and fanning 11 batters. A preliminary between two Canton teams will precede the first Baker-Trail's End game.
