Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1933. READY TO CLINCH LEAGUE PENNANTS Giants Eliminate Cub Threat by Defeating Cards Senators Need But Three Victories to Clinch Crown By HL'CII 8. FULXERTON. Jr. ' Associated Press Sports Writer. The New Tor Olants and Washing ton Senators stood at the threshold of basebsll's throne room today, ready to step over at a moment's notice and accept the crowns as 1933 champions of the two major leagues. Each had disposed of all hut one rival and the schedule today made It possible for both to clinch the flags. Olanls Closest. Of the two, the Giants were a trifle closer to a certainty. By defeating the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 to 8 yes terday on a combination of Mel oil's 32nd home run of the season and Adolfo Luque's fine relief pitching, they eliminated the Chicago Cubs, recently considered as ther most dan gerous rivals. Two more decisions were needed to drop the Flttburg Pi rates out of the race and the Buc caneers were scheduled for a double header against the Phillies today, while the Glints played their second game at St. Louis. Pirate, can't Win. Assuming a Olant victory and an even break for the Pirates, Pittsburg could win all the nine games It would have left and the Olant. could drop their last 10 and atlll the cluba would finish with this standing: W. L. PO. Now Tor .... , 88 63 .688 Pittsburg 88 84 .884 The Senators, 0 games ahead of the New York Yankees and with 10 games to go against 13 for their ri vals, needed three decisions to clinch the American league pennant. And all three were on the program today with Washington playing the St. Louis Browns and the Yanks enter taining the Chicago White Box In a doubleheader. Olven a double defeat today and a Washington triumph, the closest the Yanks could come would be this: W. L. PO. Washington 88 68 .633 New York 84 68 .831 The Senators helped their cause along yesterdsy by coming from be hind In the ninth Inning to score two runs on Buddy Myer's single with the bases full and two out and defeat the Detroit Tigers, I to I. The Yankees cut the Washington margin trifle by taking two games from the Cleveland Indians, 8 to 3, and to I. -f- Egan Beats Champ J If H 1 V -A c y . Jjjr a ' ' II.

ADVISES WRITER Many Too Previous With Prediction of End Con tribution of Color, Hold On Fans Never Be Equaled By Alan Gould By Associated Press. Despite his own public statement of confidence In the future of Babe Ruth, Inc., I do not think even the celebrated Bambino thinks he hss a great deal of actlve-day-ln-and-out baseball left In his system. It would be fantastic to figure the great slugger's future anywhere but behind now, neartng his 40th mile stone, and closing out his 30tb eessop in tne pig snow, wherein he has been one of the great stara of all time, Yet a number of the boys have ahown deplorable tendency to count "ten" over the Babe's portly rorm nerore even the 1933 curtain drops. Having been wrong so many times in the past, when they tried to stamp "flnla" on Ruth'a career for various and aundry reasons, the ex pert seem to feel that they can't go wrong this time and that they can jusury tnemseives by rubbing It In, Why Isn't It Just as fair and sen sible to give the old fellow the bene fit of any lingering doubt, after all these glamorous years? While point Ing out the decline of his prowess, which hss undoubdtely been rapid during the letter hslf of this season, why not sympathize with Ruth's am bition to stick as long as he can? Who knows, another spring-time ana a fresh start might send the Babe off on a characteristic come back in 1934, whether or not It lasted for the duration of the next major league campaign. Won't Bee Ills Like There has never been another Cobb, another Mathewaon and there may never be another Ruth. These Individualists, had something that the record books will never show rare color, extraordinary bolds on popular imagination and the ability to rise to their greatest helghta un der pressure. In each of thete respects Ruth must be ranked at the top. i nere la no comparison between the Babe and any other ball player In history, ss a "gate" attraction. He revived popular Interest a dozen years ago and fanned It to a flame during the boom days with one mag- nmcem gesture alter another with his big war club. To the club owners he mnf. n.Af. Its auch as they seldom even dreamed of before. To the youth of the land he atood for the ultimate In sporting achievement. In short, he waa and atlll la ldollced as no other figure in American athletics has even been. For this and other reasons, among them his own love for baseball at any coat, kuu) can and should be count' ed In the baseball picture somewhere for 1934. Managerial Germ Whether or not It developa next spring that Ruth no longer can hold a place In the regular lineup. It Is certain he will never play minor league baseball. It'a one of the few things the big fellow has made up his mind about. In the first place, be doesn't have to worry about hla financial future. He has enough put away now to acquire a sizable Interest In some major league club, If he wanted It, and there Is also the prospect of bis be coming a manager. I feel reasonably aura the mana gerial germ has gained a hold on the Babe's thoughts, but he won't admit it now. 4- WILL BAM TONIGHT CHICAGO. Sept. 18. (p) Jack Shakye, out to win the heavyweight championship of the world again, and King ' Levin Icy, who discovered It more profitable to puah leather than fish, will toss punches at each other tonight at Comlskey park, after a three-day delay. Originally acheduled for last Fri day, the match was postponed until this evening because of Inclement weather, much to the glee of Pro moter Sammy Wolff, who had an eye on the box office receipts. TIGER GRIDMEN The first regular roocarl practice of the year was called for this after noon at high school, by Coach Dar win K.

Tommy White, defensive atar and prospective quar terback,. Max Qlltnsky and Ohelardl, halfbacks, experienced players around whom the team will be built, re ported today.
