; Pitcher Eddie Rommel of the Ath-
letics. .
On August 7 Rommel won his
, twentieth ball game of the. year. He
‘gavo a remarkable exhibition of
.pitching in turning the trick. Cleve-
land was shut out. making only two
hits.
Another unususl thing in connec-
tion‘ with the game was the fact
.tthat it was played in 65 minutes.
tRe shortest contest ever staged in
t e American League.
With 20 victories in the first 100
games played by his club, it Was
j freely predicted that Rommel would
. certainly win 25 games and had a
chance to reach the 30 mark.
Then Rommel and his pitching
’fell into evil ways. . Trying to cap-
turé victory No. 21 proved to be a
real Jinx.
In the games he started. some-
thing invariably happenedl to cause
his removal. If it wasn't his pitch-

team mates either at the bet or in
the field.

throwing hand and there is some
doubt whether he will be able to
start at his position at second base
in the world series.
The veteran “Dutch" lluether ac-
counted for the first game. scoring
his eighteenth victory of the season.
The champions had to go ten in-
nings, however. to defeat Sherrod

received great support from the
patched up team behind him. He-
sides Manuger Harris, Itogcr Peck-

game with'a sprained ankle. Adams
and Scott played in their places.
The outcome of the Philadelphia-
St. Louis game was posted at Amer-
ican League Park during the eighth
inning of the second game and it
added stimulus to the champions
who promptly unleashed a four run
attack. ‘
Goslin‘s eighteenth home run of
the season and his double account-

the opener. The latter blow ended
the contest.

ROMMEL'S CASE.
Now pitchers have. their good and
bud days. That is. on at certain day
they may haVc all the stuff in the
world. while four or five days later
may have little or nothing on the
ball.
During Rommel's long run of dc~
feats. 1 saw him driven from the
rubber several tithes when he up-
pearcd to have all his stuff and then
some. .
Rommel, at the top of his game.
is a great pitcher. He has the most
tantalizing knuckle bull in the game.
good speed. a fine curve and a mys-
cently in which Rommel seemed to
be at his best, only to see him driven
to the showers before the comple-
tion of the game.
The day that Rommel beat Chi-
cago and broke his jinx in winning
his twenty-first victory. he remarked
to me as he started1 for the rubber:
"Well. I don't seem to have a
thing while warming up. so I may
be able to get through nine innings."
In the first four innings Chicago
made seven hits but only one run.
It was apparent. that Rommel wasn't
right but he was getting by.
Then there came a reversal of
form and in the last five innings
Chicago made only one hitand no
runs. Yet it could be seen that
Rommel was not at his best.
“I never had less stuffin my life."
he remarked at the close of the
game. l

There you have. one of the perplex-

with nothing wins.
C O O
PLAYER CONTEST.
Philadelphia is to have a most val-
uable player contest of its own.
A prominent Philadelphia auto
agency is going to give a real gaso-
line buggy to the player considered
to be of the most value to the Ath-
letics. '
Last season Jimmy Dykes was
awarded. the honor. This year three
players are regarded as strongly in
the running. Simmons, Rommel and
Cochrane.
Cochrane has been the catching
sensation of the majors. a great
man for his club. Babe Ruth re-
cently selected him for his All-
the two leagues.
Rommel’s bid for the honorand
whiz wagon is based on at least 21
victories. He may make it 25.
Al Simmons has been the bright
star in the outfield and most of the
season has been hitting around the
.375 mark.
0 O 3
These three players have all done
their bit toward the success attained
by tho Athlotlm. It will be interest-
ing to see who is selected by the
committee of Philly scribes.

[S A GREAT
FOOTBALL STAR
Eddie Tryon of Colgate
Backfield ‘Is Called
The Equal of Red
Grange
HAMILTON. N. Y.. Sept. 25.»—
(AP). Eddie Tryon. Colgate‘s ace of
backfield aces. not only belongs in
the exclusive circle of football's
"icemcn" but has n strum: claim to
a position at the top of the list.
"Rod" Grange. of Illinois. drew
the spotlight on his ability to handle
the longs us well us the pigskin. but
the blond ltnder of this year's lila-
roou eleven begun peddling ice at
the age of 14 and has been doing
it during the summer ever since—'—
fl. record which eclipses Orange‘s
mark.
Tryon's mother conducts a gener-
al store and ice business at Conga-
niond. Massachusetts. and during
the vacation season Eddie handles
the ice and of the business. catering
to the folks in the summer colony.
Long Record.
Tryon' not only is the eastern
counter—part of Grange so far as the
ice business is concerned but his
record on the gridiron since his days
at Sullield Prep school has earned
him a place in the game's modern
hall of fame not far from the niche
occupied by .the Illinois thunder-
bolt.
ln 1921 Tryon first planted his
feet in the gridiron spotlight. against
the powerful Yale freshmen team of
that year. Eddicfi‘then a half back
for Sufiield. scored two touchdowns
and almost tingle-handed defeated
the Eli’yearlings. 12 to 11.
At that time incidentally. one of
Tryon‘s teammates and co-stars at
Sutiield was Jim Foley. Both were
at first slated to go to Syarcuse but
an eleventh hour shift resulted in
Tryon going to Colgate in 1922.
Now they are rival captains of the
two up-state institutions.
Fortunately. Tryon entered Col-
gate before the first year rule went
into effect and on Saturday he starts
his fourth year on the Maroon var-
sity. He made his name in his
freshmen year. That was in 1922
when he scored the only touchdown
the Maroon made against Syracuse.
In addition to this feat he wade a
65 yard run from scrimmage for a.
touchdown against Lehigh and ran
a punt back for 70 yards for a touch
down against the same team.
Fins Touchdowns.
In the Colgate-Columbia game
that season. he scored five touch-
downs. making runs of 85. to. 50. 85
and 85 yards for the scores. The
end of the season found him the
second highest scorer in the country
for which he received honorable
mention from Walter Camp.
In 1933. Tryon continued his as-
sault on the scoring :ecords. earning
second position again. George Pfann

In fielding not so much can be

Whitewash McKechnie’s Men - Some One
Hangs Crepe on Giants’ Dugout—Pitts-
burgh rBeaks National League Record for
Double Plays
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 25. ——The
Giants established themselves se-
curely in second place yesterday by
shutting out the Pirates. Equally
well established as the leaders of
the National League, the Pirates had
nothing to lose but the ball game.
They lost that by a score of i to u.
but they broke the National League
record for double plays by making
three of them and achieving a total
of 173 this season. '
The Phillies have held the double-
play record since 1923. when they
assembled 172. Washington holds
this type of record in the American
League with 183, made last year.
The Pirates might have broken
their season record of consecutive
victories if they had won yesterday.
They have been on a winning streak
and have won the last nine games.
The tenth would have broken their
record. By winning it the Giants
took that distinction away from
them. if not the pennant. ,
The Giants‘ first act'on arriving
here was to congratulate Bill Me-
Kechnie and the Pirate crew. They
wished them luck. They extended
their sympathies to Johnnie Raw-
lings, whose injured leg will keep
him out of the series with Washing-
ton.
Tucked to their dugout. where all
could see it. the Giants found a
bunch of pink roses with streaming
crepe ribbon. a gift tram some one.
They suspect Earl Smith. They
merely smiled. however. and let it
rest.
Before the game a flock of photo-
graphers went to work on the Pl-
rates and snapped every man a doz-
en times in a dozen different atti-
tudes. McKechnie had told the
phOtogrdpiIcrs that when the pen-
nant was in they could have their
pictures. not before. Hence the
flood of photographers.
About 10,000 contented Pittsburgh
roolers watched the game “1mm"
