And the young Bronx Bomber has not been hisself for the past three weeks at the plate.

But there's a reason. Hank has been up agin a mental hazard as plain as the on Goose Goslin's face. Hank won't admit it, is probably not conscious of it, but Old Professor Iffy has psycho-analyzed vim has peered into his subconscious self, and Iffy knows.

He will deny this, and he will be sincere in the denial, because objectively he is not aware of it. But Jimmy Foxx, be that as it may, it the cause of our Hank's batting trouble. Jimmy hat been pushing up to the lead for home runs. For tome weeks Homer Hank has been holding his league lead as the ace homer by just two circuit knocks. Any game Jimmy Foxx might have slapped out a couple to beat him.

So our demon slugger, our power house, our fourth-place cleanup giant, has been pressing. He's been the only one of the gang not thoroughly relaxed. He's been trying to slap out homers. And when you are trying terribly hard to do something no matter what it is you can't do it. Sunday ended the American League season and Hank was forced to share the home run title because Foxx came through with two to tie him.

Ward CHICAGO.

Sept. 20-The Tigers closed the American League season today just as they opened it by taking a beating at the hands of the Chicago White Sox. Today's txating, however, was a double-barreled affair, the Tigers losing both ends of a twin bill. They dropped the first game, 3 to 2, when the Sox scored run in the last of the ninth inning after the Tigers had tied the score in their half. The second Kame was a rout, the Tigers losing, 14 to 2, in a game which was mercifully halted by darkness after the Tigers batted in the sixth inning.

Alvln (General) Crowder and Vern Kennedy waged a tight hurling duel in the opening contest. Crowder was lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning, however, and when the Sox rallied for a run after the Tigers tied the score, Chief Hogsett, who relieved him, was charged with the defeat. The White Sox victory was a gift, Pete Fox and Gerald Walker letting an easy fly by Luke Appling drop between tnem to give the Sox an opportunity to stage their rally. Appling took two bases on the error, moved up to third when Mike Kreevich beat out a slow roller to Gehringer and scored when Jack Hayea flied out to Walker in deep center. Sox Equal Singles Record Elden Auker started on the mound for the Tigers in the second game and was charged with the defeat when the Sox pounded him for 10 hits and eight runs in the second! Inning.

The onslaught equalled the American league record for singles In one Inning. Joe Sullivan followed Auker and was touched for four more hits and six more runs In th third. With the game lost Mickey Coch rane sent all of his reserve men Into the battle, using 15 players all told. Hank Greenberg failed to get a hit again today and extended to 15 the number of times in which he went to bat In the series and failed to get a base hit The double victory enabled the Sox to even the season's series with the Tigers, each team winning 11 of the 22 games played. The Sox opened the scoring In the nightcap with their big eight-run scoring outburst In ths second inning, that made the Tigers look bad, and almost equalled the American League record for hits made In a single inning.

The record la 12 hits, but the Sox made only 10. Bonura opened the onslaught with a single off Greenberg's glove Appling walked, and the bases were filled when Kreevich bunted and Bonura beat Auker's throw to third. Bonura and Appling scored when Hayes singled past Greenberg, and Kreevich followed when Shea singled between Gehringer and Greenberg. sent Hayes home with a single to right, but was erased In a double play when Rad-cliff grounded to Gehringer. Shra moved up to third on the erasure and scored when Conlan singled to center.

Itnnura Bags Two Hits Haas singled off Auker glove, putting Conlan on second, whence he scored when Bonura, up a sec ond time, singled to left. Appling scored Haas with a single to the same territory and Kreevich scored Bonura with a single to right before Hayes ended the Inning by forcing Kreevich at second. The Tigers scored twice In the third to reduce the lead to six runs on doubles by Walker, batting for Auker, and VVhite, and a single by Cochrane, but the Sox added to the din by scoring six more runs in tha third. Sullivan went in to pitch for the Tigers in this inning and before he got the side out he was touched for four hits and made two bad throws to account for the Chicago runs. Clifton, who batted for Owen In the third, went, to third base for the Tigers and Walker took Goslin's place in left Sullivan opened the inning bv walking Shea nnd then made a bad throw to second base when Tie) attempted to sacrifice.

P.arlcliff Presnell's Kick Rescues Mates from a Defeat Dutch Clark's Muffs Aid Hard Charging Chicagoans By Tod Rockwell The Cardinals from Chicago and the Dot oit Lions fought to a 10 to 10 tie Sunday afternoon at the University of Detroit Stadium before a crowd of approximately 10,000 spectators. The Cardinals, playing like a bunch of "Joe College" boys, carried the fight to the doughty Lions most of the way and when the game was over the Cards were rated the better eleven in the opinion of many. The Cards took the load in the second period when Bill Smith, Card end, booted a 31-yard field goal. The Lions came back and went ahead in the third period when Dutch Clark tossed a 15-yard pass to John Schneller, end, behind the Chicago goal for a touchdown, But the Cards didn't trail long. Early in the final quarter they took advantage of a Dutch Clark fumble on the Lion 16-yard line and turned the opportunity into a touchdown to lead.

10 to 7. Glenn Presnell's 14-yard placckick tied the count in the latter moments of the final period. As against the Eagles, the Lions trotted on the field apparently quite confident that the ball game simply was a question of how many points they were going to score. The game wasn't very old until it was apparent that the Lions would have to play as they did last fall if they were going to cope with the scrappy Cards. But the Linn spirit didn't rise to its proper height until late in the final period then it was too late.

I)uth Has Bad Day Dutch Clark, rated one of the best quarterbacks in the pro ranks, had a bad day. He helped the cause of the Cards more than any halfback the Chicago team could boast. At the very outset of the game Dutch fumbled on his 30-yard line, giving the Cards a shot at the goal from placement which went wide. The Card line was outrushing the Lions. Bree Cuppolettl, an offensive guard who played defensive fullback, was having a field day at the Lion expense.

He stopped everything that the Lions hurled at the right side of the Card line. And when a team can't run to its right the going is mighty tough. Throughout the first half the Chicago team was playing virtually eight men on the line against a rushing attack. For some reason the Lions couldn't keep Cuppolettl and Mike Mikulak, who played in the defensive center position back of the line, back where they belonged. This pair pinched in the Detroit running plays, smearing many of them before they reached the tine of scrimmage.

Krnle Caddel Fumbles Midway In the second stanza Ernie Caddel fumbled the hall after taking a pass from Clark on the 42-yard line. Then the Card offense went into high gear. Phil Sorhoe, Card quarter and a mighty good one, took a pass from center, lateraled it hack to Al Mrhelinl, a good halfback. Al ran back of his lme of scrimmage and tossed it for 13 yards to Sorboe, who'd run down the sideline. Nichelinl plowed through the Lion line for a first down.

The ball rested on the 31-yard line as Smith coolly kicked the goal. The boot was against a strong wind. Now It was time for the Lions to come to life and show the old steam. There was a flash of it. Presnell passed to Ernie Caddel.

The pass was a 25-yarder and Er-Plcase Turn to Page 15 Column 6 Myer Beats Out Vosmik for Lead Today's 4 Hits Bring Unofficial Title NF.W YORK. Sept. 23' A.P.)

Charlie, of in what they call a slump. I told you not to worry then and if you have seen the box scores lately, I guess you ain't now.

Charlie Gehringer, the Silent Automatic, is back in his old smooth stride. Hank will be in his. Goose Goslin never fails in a World Series as the old money-ball specialist. The G-Men have arrived and will have the situation well in hand. As OLD IFFY told you on July 2 (or was it April 29?) Schoolboy Rowe will pitch the opener.

Mickey had that figured out last Christmas Eve before midnight. The reasons are twain. First, and purely technical, he is the logical starter because he has speed, curves, a change of pace, and, above all things, control. He is a slugger to be feared at the plate as much as in the box. He is an ox in strength and can be thrown back into the fourth fray.

The second reason is purely ptychological. The players have more faith in him than they have in any other pitcher. This is no reflection on Tommy Bridges. It is all a matter of personality. The Schoolboy has that tomething which for want of a better name we call color.

Without any intent on his part he is always in the heart of tome drama. Me has baseballic "It." Last year in the pennant fight he was always stepping up to the plate and slapping out a home run to win a game in the ninth or stepping into the box and retiring the side with the bases full. He played the role of the hero-to-the-fsscu so often that the players became imbued again subconsciouslywith the idea that he was their symbol of good luck. They believe in him. This spring he got off to a had start.

There is a remarket metamorphosis from being a schoolboy to becoming a He was a worried prospective pops. After Lynwood 7. Junior had made his home run, Father Rowe became the pitcher that the gaunt Schoolboy once was. Not alone for his great pitching but for his hitting and the innate faith of the teammates in him as one who bears charmed life, Schoolboy is the natural selection. One OF ROWE'S greatest assets it inspiring confidence in his support is that he so rarely QVARTERBAf Yank Golfers Regain Trophy British Ryder Cup Team Bows RIDGEWOOD, N.

Sept. 29 (A.P.) Emphasizing the tradition tnat the "home team always wins the world's professional golf team supremacy was restored to the United States today when a band of Kritlsn 9 3 gnd American shotmakers defeated a the $15,000 gold international Ryder Cup. This was the fifth biennial meeting between the played of the two Nations since the competition was Instituted In 1927. In the four previous matches the Britons won twice at home, in 1929 and 1933, and the Americans won in this Country in 1927 and 1931. Thus, by virtue of their victory today, the Americans not only duplicated their winning margin of four years ago but also gained a 3-2 upper hand In the series.

With a 3 1 lead to work on as th result, of yesterday's Scotch foursomes, the Americans todsj won five out of eight 3f-V)le sin tortsy gle contests, lost one and broke even In two others.

This contest ended In a draw.

Charlie Root, Lon Warneke and Bill Lee were asked that question today after they had watched their World Series opponents In two games. "1 didn't see anything that Impressed me," Bald the veteran Root, "except that they are not hustling. After clinching the pennant a week before the season ended they just decided that there was no use working too hard, and so they are loafing.

"At least that Is the way It seems to me. And I hope they continue to play that way. We did the same thing In '29 and when the time came to snap back into our stride and play the Athletics In the World Series, we were not able to snap back. So we lost the Series in four straight games." Warneke was less certain about the Tigers. Oh, they must have a goort nan he said, "becnusp it takes a good team to win the pennant two years in a row.

isut incy seem iu be taking it easy now because the games do not mean anything" Many of the Tigers are well known to Warneke and he was more interested in them as individuals than as members of the team that will oppose his team in the Series. "What is the matter with Heinle Schuble?" the Cubs' ace wanted to Cubs Will Arrive in Detroit Tonight i Guard Set Up Against Hero Worshipers A BAD DAY FOR THE LIONS' know. "Thpy tell me his fielding has gone bad. Heinle was a team mate of mine at. Houston and was a wonaenui neiaer.

i can i unaer-; stand now a renow wno possessea so much skill as he had ever could become a noor fielder. Lee seemed more Interested in the layout at Navin Field and the possibilities of a vegetable barrage than in anything else. After inquiring about the depth of left field and right field he said he had heard that a screen had been erected in front of the temporary bleachers in left. "Will that prevent the fans from hitting us with grapefruit if they get sore at us?" wanted to know. Lee was Informed that the left field screen did not make the vegetable barrage an Impossibility, but rather made it a more sporting event.

He listened with interest when told that the screen made it impossible for a mPre dumb thrower to rear up In his seat: and hit the shortstop In the back of the ear with a tomato; tnat tne firing, any Is done this year, will be indirect. He seemed relieved by that news. What do the Tigers think of the Cubs? Not many Tigers have seen the Cubs in action but those who have believe that the Tigers will beat them if they play the brand of ball which they are capable. Pete Fox believes that the Tigers will take the Series In five games, but the others believe that the Series will go six or seven, no matter which team wins. In this group is Manager Mickey Cochrane.

LOUIS, Sept. The St. Louis Cardinals' farm system sent forth a bright star to bolster the 1936 Red Birds In Bill McGee, Houston right-hander, who today made his major league debut with a 2 to 1 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

The recruit, allowing but three hits, handcuffed the new National champions so effectively that he was In danger in only one inning, the seventh, when the Cubs scored their lone run. Billy Herman opened the Inning with a double and seemed destined to stuy there as Freddie Lindstrom and llank O'Dea failed to find safe territory. Frank Demaree, however, came through with a resounding triple to drive Billy across. He died on third when Phil Cavarretta flied out. There were only two other Cub base-runners, Herman who singled in the fourth and Hank O'Dea who walked in the second.

Neither advanced past first. Two farm hands, Lynn King from Houston and Lyle Judy from Springfield, were in the Cardinal lineup today, while on the bench was Mike Ryba, Columbus all-around star who Is regarded as a sure-shot for next year' pitching staff. Although Bill Delancey scored the Cardinils' first run with a home run in the second inning, Judy virtually Btole the second and winning tallv from the Cubs. The fleet-footed youngster, who set a base-stealing record in the Western' Association this year, walked in the third Inning, stole second and continued to third on O'Dea's wild throw.
