BROOKLYN IN A CRUCIAL SERIES Whether Dodgers Have :i Chanee at Pennant May be Decided in Nest Two Games With Pirates. By JOHN a. KOSTKR (CoprrUkt. 1934 by Th? Adranre) New York, Kept. 20. ? lironklyn today faces one of the greatest obataclcs tlut stamtw beta em 11 ?nd tho championship of the 'Na tional League ? a three game set to, with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the first of which the Dodgers lost TMtarrtay LL they can take the remaining two of that sorles. they have a fair chance of overtaking th< Plants, who bob along with a tantalising lead' of Just a game. If they let the Pirates grab them, there will be justifiable woe in Flatbush. As a matter of fact, tho Brook lyn1*. titht no* ought -to b? Ihraa : faat a deadlock with the (jlants as the WashinKton American a*" with the Yankees, if Burl'-tgli Grimes nad hot stood on mint baae like a wooden Indian when the Hrooklyns were pluylng in Clnclnati the other afternoon and the Cincinnati catcher left the plate uncovered, tho National ram would be tied this day and all the future would look brighter for Iht Robins Uncle Robbie essayed to pitch Ruether Thursday, and that came within an ace of costing him an other game. He pitched Ruether when that moundsman was hit five tinges In succession for singles and called on Vance, who saved the game. Had it gotten away from him, the Brooklyn* chances would look much glummer than they do. The moral to bo drawn is that if Brooklyn wants- Lo -wiu ^ this year's championship, they bad better begin grooming Rueth er for an exhibition pitcher In 1925 Pittsburgh yesterdny was farth er away from tho promised land than It had been for seven days. Not only did the Pirates fall to win a bouble-header. but they have lost one game In the sched ule because of rain. They cannot play the contest that was hooked for September 17. The Pirates yesterday were where the DPtrolt Tigers were at the end of last week, and seemed to be npproach the place where the Tigers are to day ? so far from tho top that there is no use for a representative of that club tn attend Commis sioner Land is' World Series meet ing here Sunday. If yesterday's victory, however, marks lh<i be ginning of a winning BlrosH. Plj.t? hurgh may replace Brooklyn as runner up. The Yankees and Washlngtons are deadlocked. If they would Just continue in that state down the rest of the stretch they would set a precedent. They're going to set a precedent anyhow, for If the Yanks win It will bo their fourth straight pennant end If Washington wins, it will be the Senators' first. The majors, by the way. are not the only leagues that have hair-raising finishes this season Out In the Pacific coast circuit the leader Is under the .550 mark. The move tnat is being contem plated out there by which three clubs would be located In Los Angeles and Its environs shows what men can^do_ilV baseball that they would not do In ~T?usiness. That must be what Is called the sporting end. Three clubs around Los Angeles not only would unsettle the sched ule but would so deaden base ball In the course of time that ? the game would blow nn.

Were the coach at Cornell any other than Gllmour, Doble, one might be par Honed for skepticism as to Cor nell's rhunco of having a back field that could compare with last year's eleven. which has lost that star trio.

And it worked. At the Naval Academy, Dobic found his hackfield material too slow. Before he got through he brought up to New York a Navy team which won over the Army-, and it wu# the fastest striking back field seen In the Hast. Since he has been at Cornell. I Do hie has developed some power tul. heavy, striking bnrks. whose characteristic was that same speed in Killing to the opening and abll- [ it y to take advantage of that op-| citing and keep going. 1-ast year's brilliant trio has gono tlm way of] "aTT football players, but who shall say that Doble will not bring forth another good crop? To start with, he has Patterson' of last year's hackfield, and some Inst year's substitute material in Tilton. Wade and Webster. Then' there is Molllnet. last year's fresh mnn full back; Munns, a scion of the Oher Munns who have tnade , gridiron names at Cornell, and llnekelman. who can be 'used at quarter.
