BECOME SURPRISE
Card Southpaw Beats
Braves in First Complete
Job Since May 13.
By Carl Lundqulil
(United Press Correspondent)
New York, Sept 28. U.R
When Connie Mack started the
supposedly decrepit Howard
Ehmke for Philadelphia In the
1929 world series opener against
the Chicago Cubs, he also start
ed an annual guessing game.
Each year as the fall sociable
approaches, there Is an aura of
speculation whether the rival
managers are supposed to be
grooming pitchers who are
either getting social security
benefits or have limp arms.
Ehmke, an old man as pitch
ers go, had been of little use
that year and hadn't pitched in
weeks so the baseball world was
surprised when Mack put him
In. He wasn't supposed to have
sood same left in him, but he
set an all-time series record by
striking out 13 Cubs ana win-
nlnff A to 1.
Because of the Yankee's dis
taste for southpaw pitching, this
veer's soeculatton centers
round Ernie White, Cardinal
lefty, who shut out the New
Yorkers last fall, but who since
was supposed to have suffered
a recurring Injury to his arm.
White was more or less of a
surprise starter last fall, because
he had won only seven games
and didn't compare with some
of the other Redbird pitching
satellites.
Curve Right
' Whether Manager Billy South'
worth was living White series
airing yesterday is something
the Yankees probably would
Ilka to know, but he pitched his
first complete game since May
13 and defeated the Boston
Braves 6 to 3. He worked easily
and though the Braves touched
him for 10 hits, his curve wis
breaking right and at the finish
ha said bis arm leu line.
The Yanks, meanwhile, rolled
on behind Hank Borowy, their
sophomore star, who won his
seventh straight, his 11th in 12
and his 14th for the year in de
feating Cleveland S to 2.
Detroit put homers by Dick
Wakefield and Paul Richards to
good use In Its 8 to 3 victory
over Boston.
The Athletics and Browns di
vided night doubleheader, the
A's winning the first 9 to 4.
The Browns rallied late to win
7 to 8 in the second game.
The White Sox defeated
Washington 2 to 1 twice.
Ace Adams of the Giant set
. modern major league pitching
record by appearing in his 87th
game. The durable relief hurler
started gainst the Cuba who
betted him out in the fifth and
went on to win 18 to 9 in the
ISth on BUI Nicholson's homer.
Ed Walsh, old White Sox work
horse, had held the record of
6S games since 1903.
The Cincinnati Reds Increased
their second place lead over the
Brooklyn Dodgers to 3V4 games
by beating Philadelphia s to a
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh were
not scheduled.
