THE AMERICAN LEAGUE with Its personal and well attended wrlea at the Yankee Stadium Is doing pretty well at the business ot supplying September thrills.

Maybe the turn of the National League will come later. John J. McGraw's pennantward rush appear to be suffering Horn malnutrition. The league-leading Cardinals are accomplishing no great miracle of victory, getting themselves trimmed ever and anon by such ai the champion Pittsburg Pirates. Those same Ptrate incidentally are playing the best ball in the league, but are unlikely to make up the seven full games separating theni from the league lead.

And while all three club are under observation and around In a manner calculated to astlgmatlze the vision of our best observers, Joe By ED HUGHES. JACK DELANEY Is back again after cither semi-official or a self-imposed retirementt following his one-round knockout at the hand of Jack Sharkey a couple of months ago. The one-time "Rapier, of the North," so-called, will appear at Ebbets Field on the 19th In a 15-round battle with Nando Tassl, rising Italian light-heavyweight. Delaney's return comes as something ot a surprise. The tip had it that Jack was In strong disfavor with tha local Boxing Commission because of the scandalous rumors Sharkey, attached to his quick flop against The bout itself certainly looked the check-up on Delaney' alleged bout revealed some startling stories.

French-Canuck had shirked anything that looked Nice Work! like hard work and In general had self in the manner of a gent anxious portant bout. not Plenty of folks were not convinced the bout was none too good, and "training" for the It developed the deported him to win an Im boxing moguls rate, the pro Ed Hughes. sharpshooter, powerful source. Several good deemed Inadvisable to star this doubt, but whether he has the ex perience to Joust with a fighter of Delaney's experience and talents remains to be seen. His best performances have been knOClrniltll nver Wvnmlnor an4 Leo Williams.

Previous to that Tassl Si uisiw wiui games j. sraa- dock. Obviously Is not sufficient to rate him a match with Delaney, yet Tassl may demonstrate he Is even better than he looks. Tassl Is big enough and strong enough for Delaney and must be given a chance on his punching power. Tassi hits 1 URBAN SHOCKER McCarthy's maligned Chicago team may sneak right on through a pen tiant.

Chicago New Club Ot the Hour. WATCH the Cubsl Thais the new cry ot alarm In St. Louis. Chicago doesnl seem to have a championship club. The pitching la uncertain.

Hack Wilson, Rlggs Stephen-son, Oabby Hartnett and Hazen Cuy-ler are expert potato mashers, but the rest of the regulars aren't much on tha offensive. The Cubs can field for any man's dough, even the cold cash of Mr. Bill Wrigley, the nation's greatest Jaw exerciser. And even if you don't think the Cubs are going any place, Just to look at them, you've got to admit that McCarthy has his men up there. The Cubs have won exactly as many game as the Cardinals and have lost only four more, putting them two full games behind as games are reckoned.

They are in second place unobserved, so to speak, with an Ideal opportunity to sneak through on the Inside of the rail. There is one flaw In this attempt to write Chicago Into a pennant chance. That is the extreme transformation of the Cubs at home and on the road. The Chicago club has Dersonaltty. as any one in the league must see.

Back in their own North Side backyard the Cubs are the toughest hombres lor any one to lick. Away irom mm they're Just baUplayers. Cuba Flay Last Home Game Tomorrow. IT SO happen that the Cubs have 1 nracticailv closed their home oper ations. After tomorrows game th the Pirates they start East WrigU Field will see no more of them wis season until the World Series or, that falling, the annual city series with the White Box.

On the other hand, 6t. Louis has a fine road club with nothing of the dual nature of McCarthy band. Bottomloy, Frlsch and Hafey are difficult to strike out anywhere and the St. Louts pitchers are tough from any mound in the league. Nevertheless, the Cubs must have the Cardinals ried.

When Chi. cago starts East there will be considerable girding of loin among it athletes8 The Cub have he psychological advantage of coming from behind and not very far behind. They have all to gln. nothing to lose. They're dangerous don trunk they're not.

CUnU are Through, Or Nearly So. AS FOR THB GIANTS, who have Just departed from Hatbush for Boston and four successive double-headers, McOraw' mob bear all the characteristic of a club going down for the third and last time. There is a strong tendency to believe that the Brooklyn iconoclasts spiked New York's last lingering hope by winning two out of three at Ebbet Field. Some 50.000 customers witnessed weekend proceedings at Ebbets Field and saw baseball the breed of which could not be improved. Each ball game was decided by one run.

Each wasn't assured until the final putout. And the pitchers' duel between Paszy Vance and Larry Benton turned out to be a classic climax. It was the first time this season that two of the three outstanding pitchers of the league met face to face. John McOraw has consistently ducked such a battle for good and logical reasons. McOraw I not the only manager In the league with such a high ward for Vance ability that he considers it a bad bargain to waste liis best pitcher against Dazzy.

Benton Beaten, But Not Disgraced. )cGRAW gambled yesterday be- 1V1 cause he had to eamble. He needed that game. He had only one pitcher wno coma conceivamy win And so he "shot" with Benton. OLD YANK STAR DIES I DENVER as last and almost as accurately as Delaney himself, and there's killing wt 1 suns caauj jairca By Chin Punch, There's one thing, though, that looks bad for his chances.

Tassl is game and determined fighter, but appears to be easily Jarred by a punch on the chin. He was cn the floor with both Warner and Wil- hams and each time was badly shaken up. Delaney Is a much harder hitter than either of these two opponents -and considerably more skilled in shooting In punches. However, Delaney has a tendency to "dog It" It he does not nail his man early. He folded up against both Maloney and Heeney when hi punch failed to ap-crate, and Tassl may aleo be able to discourage.

Italian Eager For Fling At Overnight Fame. Tassi takes a philosophical view ot the bout. Through an interpreter he declared: think I can Win, though haven't as much experience as Delaney. Still, I've had enough to take try at big game. I boxed several years In Italy before coming here and I'm not as green as people think.

Anyhow, you have to take a chance with the good onee sooner or later, and I'm ready. 1 can make a big name by beating Delaney, and unless I'm knocked out, I can't lose much. That's the spirit that often conquers, and it may win tor Taul. Delaney, one ot the most overrated fighter in th game, has probably seen his best days. At any rate, he doesn't figure to get any better Tassl has a good, even If not an even chance to triumph.

AMERICAN LEAGUE history for 1928 repeated itself at the Yankee Stadium yesterday and Connie Mack was given the lesson not to put his trust In pet theories. The Athletic can't beat the Yank and that home run with the bass f'tll of Lanky Bob Meusel's the melancholy manager has taken to heart. 'JHJJ "If there are men on second and uurd and nobody out give the next batter an intentional base on balls even if It's the pitcher." That was Connie's theory and it had no glaring weakness. It gave him a play at every base with the chance ot making a double killing Just that much increased. He didn't hesitate to put it to the test either.

He unhesitatingly took the gamble in the eighth inning ot the second Yankee-Athletio game yesterday and thereby lost first place. He shouldn't depend on theories while playing the Yankees. His young men have a hard enough time beating the New York Americans when playing straightaway, practical baseball.

Time Benton wasn't licked until the last half ot the ninth and then was beaten by a bad hop. But had not Vance been a victim ot bad luck earlier, there would have been no last half of the ninth. Daisy' 30th victory of the season was clean cut and decisive and an elegant piece of pitching. Vance fanned 10 of the Giant and allowed seven hit. Benton was less spectacular, striking out only three.

But Brooklyn obtained only six hits. Giants' Runs Both Unearned. THERE was something strange and distinctive about each Im portant period of the game. For five innings me ining was as evtniy waged a pitchers' duel as any on ever saw. In the sixth, the orsak swerved sharply toward the Giants.

Melvln Ott singled over second with two out in the sixth. Fred Lindstrom hit a bounding splash over second base. Jake Flowers booted the ball with a fairly easy third out right In front of him. Bill Terry's double to left center scored both Ott nd Lindstrom. We can see where fate aided the Robins in the eighth when Harvey Hendrick's pinch home run tied the score, though some may call us cockeyed.

Dave Bancroft had begun the inning with a clean hit. Hendrlck came up to hit for Hank DeBerry. When Harvey Hendrlck "Fulled" Perfect Pitch. EVERY STRATEGIST In the i-i league will say that Benton pitched exactly right to Hendrlck. a left-handed hitter who hits to left field.

The theory of treating a hitter ot that sort is a mixture of out ride curve balls and Inside fast ones. You can play him In left field. Any left-handed hitter who doesn't pull is almost certain to favor outside pitching. Hendrlck was "supposed" to pop up trut nign insiae last oaa Benton de livered with two strikes. Instead Harvey pulled It and how he pulled it! Into Bedford close to the foul line, It sped and hundreds of straw hat soared from the standi.

Then the final break. Benton tried to handle Babe Herman with kid gloves when the busting blond led off in the ninth. Larry drew the mart too tine and walked Herman, Rube Bressler sacrificed. Del Bls- tonette was purposely and Judiciously passed. Winning Hit Bounded From Crag to Crag.

Delaney, in fact, had Anally man aged to try his luck on the Coast, where the odor ot the Sharkey thinz naturally wasn't so pungent.

Tne French Canuck was tentatively matched to reappear against Ace Hudklns, who had conceived the notion ot taking a fling at the light-heavyweights. This match fell through after the Ace had reconsidered the dangers of the proposition. See Delaney-Loughran Boat in Offing. Evidently the Commission figures the Sharkey episode to have "blown over" by this time, else Fugazy would not have attempted to match Delaney. The Bridgeport boxer accepted the fromoter's offer last Saturday, the talian scrapper's name having been scrawled on the dotted line several days before that.

Probably the bout Fugazy 1 attempting to aeveiop is tltuar battle between Delaney and Tommy Loughran for the llghtheavy crown. It la understood thai in tn event Delaney Is returned the victor over Tassl tie will get the chance against Loughran. This bout will not be difficult to arrange.

SINGLES START Business Keeps French TvO'Time Holder of Title Off Courts. Forest Hills, N. Sept. 10 America' greatest tennis 'prise the national singles championship oec on the bargain counter this week, waiting for a new owner from among the 64 knights ot the court who will do battle for it. Rene Lacoste, the French ace who won the title In 1926 and 1027, could not reconcile business Interest with a defense ot his championship, and so elected to let it go by default.

But Lacoste's failure to defend leave the United States with little more chance of recovering the title than it would have had had the French automaton decided to drop his business to see If he could make it three In a row. Rene voluntarily let the title slip from his fingers, but there' another Frenchman, Henri Cochet, ready to grab it. At ton form. Cochet can beat anybody in the world, and In recent weeks ne has given evidence that he is at his competitive best. Pre-tdurnament discussion seems to boil itself down to who will be runner-up to the little Frenchman.

Foreign Flavor. In the field of 64 are America's best youngsters as well as the pick ot tennis talent from England, Australia and France. Entries from Canada, Japan, Cuba and Mexico help to give the 1928 championship a heavier foreign tinge than It ever has had. With the two Bills Tilden and Johnston out of the picture, America's hopes are settled on John Hennessey and George Lott, although somewhere out ot the pack may come some new Yankee tennis lero to tak up the burden wh are TUden and Johnston left off. Bait.ng such an unexpected occurrence Lott and Hennessey are the men of the hour.

If they cannot stop tin French invasion, Uncle Sam will be about ready to give it up tor another year Cochet Plays at 5 p.m. Cochet makes his first appearand on the Stadium court at 6 o'clock this afternoon, when he opposes Thomas Wilber of New Haven In ths first round. Lott will precede him on the same court by two hours when he meets Pierre Landry, another of the seven French entries. At 4 o'clock, Jean Borolra, feared only less than Cochet, meets Manuel Alonso ot Philadelphia, who was ranked No. 4 Ir, the 1927 listings.

Hennessey clashes with Dr. Oeorge King at 2 o'clock. The first Stadium court attraction will bring together Frank Hunter, of New Rochelle, N. and Richard N. Williams 2d, the only former national chamDion entered this yeur, Williams won the title way back In 1914 and repeated in 1916.

Another ot the spltball pitcher hac gone. Urban Shocker quit baseball recently. He left a bigger game yesterday. Word comes from the West that he died tn a Denver hospital yesterday ot a complication ot pneu monia and heart disease. The end came fast tor this hurler.

He wa only 38. It seems Just the other day he was fighting the Yankees for more salary. One ot the spring's most persistent holdouts, he finally came to tentative term with Colonel Ruppert. He was to get a contract if he could get into condition to play ball. But Shocker couldn't do it.

The heart attacks had weakened him. So ne vanished from baseball. Now he'll never appear on the mound aealn. He's under the mound where all good warriors iaxe meir last long rest. or years Hiiocner wa th Nemesis of the team with which he almost simultaneously ended his baseball and earthly career.

He began with the xankees as a big leaguer and ended wun tnem, but in between was a St. Louis interlude of seven years. The Yanks traded Shocker to the browns and it rankled. He took delight in heating the Yankees, wiping out the slight with many a victory over hit iormer piayienows. Three for One.

But when Shocker returned to th Yankees the second trade brought balm to hi injured spirit. It took three players Joe Bush, Oiard and Gaston to get him back. The past was all forgotten. Ve was a iter in bt. Louis, and hi luster wa only tiigiiLiy lanusuea ui YorK.

Frori me aay ne Droxe into professions, baseball as a catcher with the Ymi. in the old Trolley League, he was a stuaent or nis job. He took to piicnmg at Windsor, went to Ottawa and the Yankees bouKht him from that Border League club for $750.

But Shocker, by application, made himself more valuable tnan that. ne watcnoa tne wont of enemy hitters, through the papers, davs In advance of his turn to pitch against them. He knew Just what Joey Scwcll of Cleveland was doing and now many nits bid anc ot the White box got a woek ago against the Ath letics. Babe Ruth has called Shocker one of the smartest slabsters In the game. He was smart at the plate too.

No brother of the hill oould fool Urban, He knew all his trick and some of his own to boot. He never went fish lug. The pitch had to be good for him to go after it. Ho received many merited bases on nails, and an proached perfection on the sacrifice hit and the hitting end of the squeeze play. No Bark to Minors for Him.

Shocker had finished his work when the call cam. He didn't know the heartbreak tt drifting down tht Robins Reach for .500 Again; Brooklyn Buys Memphis Fielder It 15 out of 20 games for the World's Champions. Taking Advantage Ot an Old Man. 'THE Yankees kept the tradition bright and gleaming by taking the first game of this epochal series by hitting old Jack Quinn and his spltball hard in the sixth inning. The score of the second game was all even at the start of the eighth inning.

Torn score cards were fluttering down like autumn leaves at dusk, and It looked as if the nightcap affair might end in a deadlock at dark But Mark Koenig singled to right and Gehrig shot a hard double between Miller and Haas.

Foxx Did Somebody Some Good, Anyway. THE Athletios had an opening to 1 do something In the eighth inning after two were out.

A single and a couple of walk filled the bases and put It squarely up to Jimmy Foxx, but the youngster struck out with splendid form. He swung so hard at nothing two parboiled citizens out in the center-field bleachers stood up and thanked him lor the breeze. It was the last Philadelphia swing that carried any threat. Because French lwd batted for Rommel it was Ossi Orwoll who pitched the Yanks half of the inning. Ossie hides the ball behind him Just before he let go.
