In 1934 it was Paul Waner. Last year it was Arky Vaughan, and this year it looks very much like Paul Waner again, The classy little Pirate hitter, who is regarded by players and experts alike as one of the best and most scientific batters the game has known in the last decade, buoyed local fans' hopes that he will win out in the race for the slugging crown by smashing out six hits yesterday while aiding the Pirates smash the Cards down twice.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7. L5- The New York Yankees advanced a little closer to mathematically clinching the American League pennant today when they beat the Philadelphia Athletics in both games of a double header, winning the nightcap 8 to 3 after taking the opening contest, 4 to 3. A crowd of 45.144. which ran the Yanks' home attendance for the year to 1,113,647, saw Lee Ross hold the Yanks to four hits in the first game only to have the Athletics lose as four errors helped the league leaders to three of their Funs.

Lefty Gomez shut out the A's for eight innings but had to call on Johnny Murphy in the ninth as the Mackmen scored three runs with Frank Higgins' homer accounting for two of them. Charley Ruffing went the route in the second for his 19th victory of the season. He pitched six-hit ball while the Yanks made the most of their 12 hits, including Lou Gehrig's forty-third homer of the season and another circuit blow by Jack Saltzgaver. The two home runs gave the Yankees 162 for the season and broke their club record of 160 set in 1932. They are still 11 short of the major league mark of 173 made by the Athletics four years ago.

first points ahead of Joe Medwick, Cardinal star, who dropped from the top position to .363. Medwick was checked by Waite Hoyt and Mace Brown, to the extent of one hit in eight times at bat. and lost three points from his average. Paul was hitting .360 prior to yesterday's holiday bill. He smashed out a single and double in the first game and followed it up with two doubles, a triple and a single in the nightcap to boost his mark five points to .365.

Casic met sudden death in the third race when his car got out of control and crashed through the fence on the third lap, overturned arc 1 pinned Casic beneath the car, breaking his neck. He died before reaching the hospital. suis mur rr Campbell, Jurges Continue Feud With Display of Fisticuffs. CINCINNATI, Sept.

7. Cincinnati's Reds defeated Chicago's Cubs twice today, 6 to 2 and 8 to 4, in a double header interrupted by a resumption of fisticuffs that marked two previous meetings of the teams this year. A holiday crowd of 19.047 saw the twin bill. The double victory lifted the Reds above the .500 mark, the highest rating they have held this late in the season for a decade. Gilly Campbell, Red catcher, and Bill Jurges, Cub shortstop, were the participants in the fight that featured the second game.

Campbell, who had held a grudge against Jurges since they tangled in a series at Chicago last month, opened the battle. Approaching the plate with his chest protector and mask on as Jurges came out of the Cub dugout to take his turn at bat at the start of the third inning. Campbell took one wild swing at the Cub. Jurges came back with a blow to the head. Umpires Sears, Klem and Balla-fant halted the brief encounter, in which no physical damage was done, by ejecting both Campbell and Jurges.

7. i.fl Snapping out of their three-game 'losing streak, the New York Giants scored a double victory over the Phillies today, taking the opening contest, 6 to 2, behind the fine hurling of Carl Hubbell and then blasting out a 14 to 11 decision in the second encounter. The sweep of the double bill, witnessed by an overflow crowd of 21,838, coupled with the double setbacks of St. Louis and Chicago lengthened the Giants' lead ever the Cards to five games and over the third place Cub3 to six games. Twelfth in Row for Carl.

Hubbell limited the Phil3 to seven hits to chalk up his twelfth successive victory, a new major league high for the season. It also was his twenty-second triumph of the year as against only six defeats. Not once was the screwball ace in danger as his mates collected 11 hits off Bowman, Jor-gens and Benge. One of the blows was Mel Otfs twenty-ninth homer of the season. Ott made it No.

Mr. Bierman won't admit it, but deep down in his soul he has vision of another unbeaten year for his galloping Gophers provided he can hurdle this Husky barrier in his opening game "Tough said Coach Bierman. "It's tougher than than. When you have to meet a team as strong as Washington in your opening game, as early as this September date, 1 can see nothing to cheer about. I know we have a good team, but so has Washington.

Washington will be one of the star teams of the new season. Washington will be playing on home turf. I have a lot of veterans back, but so has Phelan, with one of the best back-fields in football." "This game may be tough on Minnesota," I suggested, "but it won't be any soft touch for Washington either. Jimmy Phelan probably feels the same way about it." "I'm going to let Jimmy do his own worrying." Bierman said. "I've got enough troubles of my own, with less than two weeks in which to hit one of the season's high spots." SECOND GAME.

game. Totals. ..31 027 ui Totals 10 27 17 might play a leading part in establishing some mythical title by December. Any football team that can take Minnesota this season will need plenty plus. Bierman's bunch has speed, power and experience and there is no better coach on any field.

But beating Washington at Seattle in the first early season game is no part of a picnic, whatever happens. The Long Haul. Football has moved well away from its old anchors. Gridiron dates once ran from October to late November. Already 76.000 spectators have looked at one all-star game and there will be another capacity gathering at the Polo Grounds when the College ATI-Stars move against the Giants.

You will also note continued activity up to New Year's battles when the various bowls are packed again. So the old season has been doubled. And every coach I have seen believes the attendance this fall will set a new mark. There are more than enough good teams there is keener interest and thre is more loose money at hand. This combinaition will fill up many a bowl or stadium before the first flurry of snow drifts in from the North, Hubbell vs.

The Yankees. With the Giants parked at home most of this month, the non-combatants are already beginning to figure how Carl Hubbell will stand up against the Yanks. Suppressing such hitters as Lou Gehrig, Di Maggio, Dickey, has been a bigger job than American League pitchers could handle, but Hubbell is another affair. The tall left-hander from the Ozark wildwoods is one of the best that ever stepped into the relief pit. You can start from Rube Waddell and move along to Eddie Plank, Bob Grove and Herb Pennock without shoving the Giant sidewheeler out of the main picture.

Carl has the stuff needed in arm, heart and head to face any situation, and if the Giants stand up down the stretch after one of the best counter-attacks baseball i i-i 1 1 14 1 M11K- 000 fans. The second game was Feller's all the way. He gave only seven scattered hits and he had the Browns fanning again, as he did when he started for the Indians against them two weeks ago and fanned 15. Umpire Brick Owens was struck orl the head by a foul tip in the fourth inning of the first game, and was knocked unconscious. He was revived in a few minuees, however, and continued his duties.

Catcher Charlie George of the Indians bettered the American League record for putouts by catchers with 17. The previous record of 16 had been made by several catchers. FIRST GAME. i Kl' is CLEVELAND. AB.HP.A.

Lary.ss li' THF HKM sands hspl" w. Maka NO CharjP 1" Wi Make No The Fast Getaway It has been around four years now since one of Bernie Bierman's Minnesota teams has known the ax. In the last two years the Gophers have dominated all oppositionrated as close to number one as any such rating can arrive. They are now meeting a veteran team with a bid, hard-charging line and a double set of fast-moving, elusive backs about as good a backfield as anyone would want. Washington is rated with the pick of the Pacific Coast up with the best of the new autumn.

With the game played in Seattle, it will be a stormy test for the football pride of the Midwest in spite of such ball carriers as Tuffy Thompson, Urara and others who know their way around, with a crack forward wall in front. This is one of the fastest getaways that football has ever known, and you can't blame Bierman and Phelan for exhibiting furrowed brows and haunted look with -so little time left for a game which SECOND CAME.
