Mancuso's Average At Bat Gives Edge Against Sewell Senator Backstop, ever, Is More Experienced Of Two NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (AP) Few championship major league clubs have ever gone into the world series without first class backstoping.

The deeds of Criger, Kling, Carrigan, Gowdy, Cochrane and Dickey ring down through the sagas of baseball battle. The man in the mask can make or break a ball club. Enthusiastic adherents of either participant in the 1933 world series will tell you that Gus Mancusco of the Giants, Luke Sewell of the Senators and the Alabama Sewells made" their teams what they are today. Mancusco and Sewell do not rank among the great catchers of all time. They lack the mechanical precision of a Schalk, and they do not hit with the lus'iness of a Cochrane, but they are both smart, dependable and durable.

The trades that brought them into the pennant-winning picture this year, Mancusco from the Cardinals and Sewell from Cleveland, turned out to be just what the doctor ordered for the benefit of the New York and Washington pitching staffs. Sewell is the snore experienced receiver, with a dozen years of major league experience behind him, whereas Mancusco, in his fifth big league season, is j'ist finishing his first full campaign as a No. 1 backstop for Gus was understudy to the great Jimmy Wilson at St. Louis. He is 27, five years younger than Sewell, but he had the previous advantage of world playing series.

a part in There seems little chose, the whole, but Mancusco's somewhat more robust batting average, plus his exceptional talent for getting the most out of his pitchers, give him an edge over Sewell in the "dope sheet." To Mancuso is given much of the credit for the sensational development this year of Hal Schumacher, the "sinker" ball star, the fast but erratic Roy Parmalee. Manager Bill Terry has repeatedly praised Mancuso's backstopping and judgment. Those close to the Giants say that Gus has more authority in directing the play than any other member of the club, outside of Terry himself, and that the swarthy backstop is actually the "straw boss" of the outfit, by tacit agreement. Moreover, until Mancusco came along to take over the bulk of the catching, Carl Hubbell had no batting mate eo suit his peculiar style of delivery, featuring a baffling "screw ball." The Oklahoma Southpaw has enjoyed by far his greatest season with Mancuso on the receiv. ing card.

It has taken plenty of hard work as well as judgment and agility to handle so contrasting a quartet of pitching deliveries as those of Hubbell, Fitzsimmons, Schumacher and Parmalee, but Augustus Rodney Mancuso has obtained extraordinary results. Gus is no sprinter on the basepaths, but he is a timely hitter, with a five-year average of .290 and has a good arm. Sewell is a .260 sticker, but has driven in a few more runs than Mancuso. The story of BILL TERRY by Daniel EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third of six articles on the life of Bill Terry, by Daniel M. Daniel, baseball writer of the New York World-Telegram.

BY DANIEL M. DANIEL NEW YORK, Sept. 2-William Harold Terry's real start toward the baseball, he holds today, champion pedestal, Giants, was made with his sale by Newnan, of the Georgia-Alabama League, to Shreveport of the League. Bill pitched well enough for Shreveport in 1916 to merit a fine advance in salary, and a closer scrutiny by the agents of the major leagues. In 1917, Southpaw Terry developed into a brilliant prospect by winning 14 games for Shreveport.

The 19-year-old kid from Atlanta was a willing worker and hurled 246 innings in no fewer than 40 games. His fact ball accounted for 81 strikeouts. A Rich Young Man All through his baseball career, Terry has been a shrewd business man, In fact, it is said that with the exception of Babe Ruth, who has about $400,000 salted away, Terry is the wealthiest ball player in the country. He owns considerable real estate in Memphis and his English-Scotch strain of thrift and shrewdness has kept him away from such things as stock markets and oil wells. At the close of the 1917 season, young Terry, who had married a Memphis girl, began to take stock of his financial situation, his chances and his future.

War had been declared. Baseball, especially in the minor leagues, was very much unsettled. Texas Leagues salaries took a dip. Financier Terry decided that baseball was not a good business at that particular time, and in the spring of 1918 he quit the Shreveport club and took a job with an oil company in Memphis. Stays Out of Game Little did Terry dream that 1 instead of moving away from baseball he was going deeper into the game, and a career in it.

What Terry did not know when he retired 1: 1918 was that Kid Elberfeld, the old Yankee shortstop and manager, had bought him for his Little Rock team of the Southern League. Eiberfeld tried every conceivable way to get Terry to report, but it was no go. The oil company supported a ball club and Terry took charge of that. For four years Terry remained out of legue competition. Time er time Elberfeld tried to get him 0 000 0000 0 0 0000 0 New Orleans Takes Series Off Missions WINS TILT, 4 TO 2 Gilbert's Men Grab Series After Three Unsuccessful Tries NEW ORLEANS, Sept.

27 (AP) -The New Orleans Pelicans today hoisted the all-South baseball pennant over Heinemann park, to keep company with the Southern association flag for 1933, while the San Antonio Missions, Texas league title-holders, went back home to the Alamo, game losers' of the annual Dixie series. Following three unsuccessful shots at the all-South championship over a ten-year period, Larry Gilbert's men grabbed their first Dixie series on a game-count of 4 to 2, chalking up the final decision yesterday afternoon when Dennis Galehouse climaxed a series of sensational pitching performances, to hurl the Pels to a 2-0 shutout over the Missions. That made it three straight for the games at Heniemann park, and kept the title in Southern association territory for the third straight year. Chattanooga won it last year and Birmingham the year before. A.

sporting success, the 1933 series was nevertheless a financial flop. Total attendance for the six games played was only around 000, and total gate receipts not in excess of $30,000. Only 2,114 paid $2,365 to see yesterday's stirring finale. With players participating only in the first four days' receipts and with various league, and club splits figured, the winning Pels will only get about $218 each out of their victory, and the losing Missions slightly less. These are the smallest purses in the history of the inter-league rivalry.

It was San Antonio's first bid for the Dixie title but New Orleans had had a try at it three times before. Gilbert's men lost to Fort Worth in 1923, to Dallas in 1926, and to Wichita Falls in 1927. The Missions had plenty of steam to start with, twice. forging into a first one-game and third lead night with wins contests in the in Texas, and the Pels came home Sunday trailing two games to one. Daylight made a difference with the Pelicans, and it was three straight on the home lot.

Dennis Galehouse, who won two of the playoff games with Memphis, including the deciding one, and who pitched New Orleans' only win in Texas and then saved Sunday's game after relieving Fred Johnson, faced the Missions for the third time in six days yesterday and made it a shutout, allowing only five hits, It was his 21st win for New Orleans this year. Abe "Payday" Miller pitched steady ball for San Antonio, but the Pels reached him for nine bingles and brought in a run in the second and fifth innings, plenty enough to win on. It was a fast game, with six double plays, played in one hour and 17 minutes.

A senior at Kembrell, a dash man on track and fiel dteam, has taken over Firpo Phipp's duties at left halfback, and he is sure of a place in the regular lineup Friday night it he continues to perform as he did in the first scrimmage since the Planismen won a 20-7 victory over Birmingham-Southern. Potentially, Kimbrell is one of the greatest backs in America, and it is hoped that some of his stored up ability will explode against Howard.

Against Erskine and Duke last year, he was one of the greatest all-around backs ever to wear the Orange and Blue. He scored five touchdowns against Erskine and three against the Duke Blue Devils, and. for a while he led the nation in scoring. The best punter on the squad, Kimbrell might be the Tiger to fill All-American Jimmy Hitchcock's shoes. His kicks are of the longdistance variety and soar to lofty heights, and if he becomes a consistent punter, he is fully of becoming a better -around player than the mighy Hitchcock.

Completing the backfield in Birmingham that lists Kimbrell will be Captain Ripper Williams, the Tuscumbia wizard, who did extraordinary work in running the team against Birmingham-Southern; AlJen Rogers, the Greenville dynamo, right halfback, and either Sterling Dupree Sylvester, or Truck Talley, fullback. Rogers was also a mainstay against the Panthers.

27 The Red Elephants are no more. An examination of the weight chart reveals that Alabama's grid squad is fast becoming the Thin Red Line again, despite the tenacity of the behemoth legend that clings about Denny Field. An actual check of the weights from training-room statistics shows that there are only seven men on a squad of 55 who weight over 200 pounds. Of these, only six have a chance to see service in a varsity game during 1933. Hamp Lyons, 221-pound reserve, is not likely to compete in a varsity tilt.

Just three of these 200 pounders are with the first team, conceding regular berths to Jim Dildy and Bill Lee at tackles, and B'Ho Kirkland at right guard. Charlie Marr and Jim Whatley are with the second team, while Ben Baswell is a third string guard. Considering the ponderous forwards in other grid camps in the South, the myth of Alabama's giants seems destined to fade in the face of statistics. Kentucky's squad is one of the largest in the South, including a 245-pound tackle. Jack Torrance bolsters L.

S. line with his 265 pounds. Reports from the Pacific Coast indicated that St. Mary's, the team that dropped decision to Alabama last December, will have a line that averages pounds to the man. Alabama's varsity line will average slightly over 190 pounds this season.

While this is no bunch of midgets, it does not loom exceptionally large. Ends will weigh 180, with Leach at 180 and Gandy at 181. Dildy weighs 205 pounds at left tackle, with Lee weighing 212 at the other. Kirkland weighs 204 pounds. Tom Hupke weighs 185 at left.

guard, while Francis is listed at 186. Light backs must carry the offensive burden. The fullbacks will be heaviest, with Riley Smith at 194, Demyanovich at 177, Hughes at 183, and Rohrdanz at 171. Millard Howell and Diz Walker at halfbacks weigh 165 pounds, while Moseley weighs 175 at quarter. The backfield will average from 170 to 174, according to the fullback who plays.

Sharkey, Loughran Will Meet Tonight PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27 (AP) -Two comeback trails cross tonight when Jack Sharkey, former king of the heavyweights, meets skillful Tommy Loughran-and route signs point to fistic oblivion for the loser. For 15. rounds or less the Boston sailor and the Philadelphia ring general will wage warfare in the Phillies ball park, each bent on victory as a long step on the way back to the top. Sharkey goes into the ring with about a 10-pound weight edge, scaling in the neighborhood of 200 pounds to Loughran's 190.

The last time these two ring warriors squared off--four years ago in New York-Sharkey Was very close to the top, and Loughran had just given up his lightheavyweight crown to begin what appeared a rose future among the heavies.

Sept, (AP) -If Ben Cantwell had remained with the York Giants, the club which first brought him up to the National league, he might now be figuring prominently in the world series "dope." Instead, he was traded to the Boston Braves in his second year of big league service and toiled there without much success until he suddenly burst forth this season as one of the league's outstanding hurlers. The tall, lean right-hander, who had passed the .500 mark only once before in his career in the majors, and then with four victories and three defeats, was right at the top of the list today with 20 games won and nine lost. Cantwell chalked up victory No 20 yesterday at the expense of the champion Giants, beating them for the fourth time this year, 5 to 3. He was the third hurler in the league to reach that mark. The others were the Giants' southpaw star, Carl.

Hubbell, and young "Dizzy" Dean of St. Louis. The feat was all the more impressive, because it was performed with a second division club, which has only a mathematical chance of capturing fourth place, and because of the contrast with his six-year record of 38 victories and 52 defeats. The victory preserved Boston's chances of finishing in the first division. By winning their two remaining game, they can pass the St.

Louis Cardinals, if the Cards lose their last two. The Phillies and the Brooklyn Dodgers, seventh and sixth, respectively, in the National league, and with no chance of going higher, played the only other big league game. The Phils, closing their home season with an exciting ninth-inning rally, won 3 to 2 and made it a little more certain that they will finish ahead of the cellar-dwelling Cincinnati Reds. "Big Train" Asserts ures Predict Outcome Of Series By WALTER JOHNSON (As Told to Bill Service NEW YORK, world series only basball men are pare seriously Johnson Braucher, NEA Sports Editor.) Sept. 27-With the a few days away, beginning to composition for position on the contending Giants and Nationals.

Tables are prepared which are meant to sum up strength by reason of statistics and to arrive at the winner that way. But that is a system which frequently has failed. The reason, as I have found it in my own years of pitching, is that figures do not tell enough about men- and certainly do not always furnish a dependable forecast for a short series. Who could have predicted what a star Pepper Martin was to be for the Cardinals two years ago, when he almost single-handedly upset the Athletics, a team of steady, hard-playing men? Who could have known in advance that Babe Ruth, greatest hitter of them all, would be such for pitchers in one of the Yankees series more than 10 years ago? Who expected, back in the world series of 1924, that John McGraw would be outwitted in the last game of that series by young Bucky Harris? Yet it was Harris' maneuvering of pitchers that caused McGraw to switch Long George Kelly for Bill Terry at first base, a move that finally brought disaster to the Giants. After Kelly was safely in the lineup, Harris sent me to the box because Bucky thought I was 8 pitcher that George could not hit.

Harris' judgment was vindicated. Twice Kelly struck out with men on bases. Terry, by the way, whose presence in the Giants' lineup might have changed the outcome of that game and the series, is the only man on the Giants' team who has been hitting above .300. I was surprised, looking over the averages the other day, to see that the nearest man to Terry in hitting was Moore, with .292, and that O'Doul and Ott, fine hitters, had slumped to figures well below that. The hitting as a whole, however, has been timely, and it is that sort of batting that counts in a series where the pitching is apt to be airtight, Several of the Giants, notably Travis Jackson, who is taking the place of the appendicitis victim, Vergez, at third base, are great money ball players.

They are at their best when Ze stakes are high. These are the men to be feared in a world series, attempt to gauge their performances on the basis of averages is not likely to succeed. Bluege, third baseman of the Nationals, is that kind of player, too -he hits when there's a run to be driven in. Taking the batting and fielding of the two clubs this year whole, it would seem that averages as a Washington could not miss trimming the Giants. The Nationals lead the Americans, league in both hitting while the GIants are batting about fifth and fielding in about the same position as a club.

When a team without a great offense and with only a fair defense wins a pennant, the answer usually is reflected in the pitching staff. That is what has done the trick for Terry's club. Carl Hubbell and Fred Fitzsimmons consistently have given splendid. performances the box. Two of the young pitchers came through with some fine workParmelee and Schumacher.

ManTerry consistently has stuck ager to his starting pitchers in their turns, and Luque done some great relief jobs. The two teams, on the occasions I have seen them during the season, looked like fine fighting outfits. The Giants made up in ag9 gressiveness much of what they lacked in technical offensive power. The Nationals, when they playled us at Cleveland in midsummer, did everything right, and seemed, HOOKS SLIDES by BILL BRALICHER While boxing followers the country over watch this bum and that bum in dull jousts, the finest piece of potential fighting machinery that has come along since Dempsey lies rusting in Hollywood. The battling gadget to which this fers is Max Adlebert Baer.

Here is the saber-toothed savior of boxing, and he is being allowed to stand around at a time when he should be at the peak of his fighting form, or to go through silly gestures with that bumptious behemoth, Primo Carnera, while bevies of pretty femmes (who mean Max no good whatever) applaud and flatter the young King Kong of Kauliflowerdom. What He Needs Here is Max Baer, the hardest hitter in the game, and a fighter with real ring instinct, frittering away time that should be spent improving himself for the battle that is sure co come with Carnera. Max proved he had a punch and that he could take it, but was hard to hit when he fought Schmeling. But he showed also in that fight that he lacked certain ring finesse that he will need when he steps into the ring against the big clubber from Italy. to change his mind.

The war had ended. Baseball had come back stronger than ever. Crowds were larger. Players' salaries had risen. But Terry had made a place for himself with the oil company in Memphis, A son had been born to the Terry family.

Bill had joined the Episcopal church in Memphis and was singing a rich baritone in the choir every Sunday. He had bought a home. No More Minors! "Kid, it's no use, I will not play minor league baseball again," Terry told Elberfeld. "If you get me a chance in the majors, and they will give me what I want. I'll go back to baseball.

But not with Littie Rock, not with any other club either, if it's in the minors." Terry had begun to play first base when he wasn't pitching for the Polarines, and now a new Terry began to blossom. It was Terry who had grace and skill in the field and a terrific punch at the bat. A left-handed hitter with a natural, straightaway cut at the ball which produced powerful line drives. McGraw Gambles Again Elberfeld realized that he had a future great of the major leagues. He went about the business of selling Terry's release had cost.

Little Rock $500. Several major league teams declined the invitation pay $1000 for the chance to satisfy the demands of the oil man from Memphis. But John J. McGraw, always the gambler, was willing to take the chance. The Giants took over Little Rock's claim to Terry, and then it was up to McGraw to get Bill to sign.
