The Yankees failed to improve their
opportunity to gain on Washington
while the Nationals were prevented
from meeting Detroit by rain.
An even break was the best the
double header with the invading
White Sox. Chicago breezed through
to an easy 1o-to-2 victory behind
Thurston's skillful pitching in the
first. 1t was the Chicago boxmans
thirteenth win of the season. In
the closing engagement New York
got to Lyons and Barnes for sixteen
hits. registering an S-to-5 triumph.
In spite of a 7-to-0 lead at the end
of the second inning, Ehmke, Red
sion to st. Louis. Feach made his
second home run in two days.
In a game halted by rain at the
end of the seventh inning, Philadel
phia shut out Cleveland, to 0. Joe
Hauser's homer with two on in the
sixth clinched the battle for the
Athletics.
Three ST Louis pitchers failed to
stop New York's vicious attack and
the Giants drew first blood in the
opener by score of II to s. Hack
Wilson lived up to his reputation as
an extra base slugger with drive
for the circuit.
Brooklyn cut down the four-game
lead Dy which chicago held second
place to three with a 13-to-11 see
saw triumph. A grand total of thir-
ty-five hits was made by the two
teams, the Robins accounting for
twenty-two.. Each club used three
pitchers. Stock. Wheat and Grantham
Hit homers.
Pittsburgh nursed it's embryo win
ming streak to four games by down.
ing Boston, 8 to 3. The Pirates
dubbed the Braves twirlers at will
for sixteen hits. After twenty six
innings of fast base ball Cincinnati
and Philadelphia were no better off
than when they started. The Phillies
took the first by 3-to-1 margin in
ten cantos, and the Reds reciprocated
in the second with 2-to-1 decision
in sixteen rounds All four initial
boxmeH went the full route.

TUNNEY COVETS GO
WITH TOM GIBBONS
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, July 9.-If Gene Tun-
ney gets by Carpentier-which he ex-
poets to do-his next opponent will
in all probability be Tommy Gibbons
There has been no public demand for
such a match to date, because of the
belief that Tunney is not up to the
ST. Paul walloper.
But if he should make a better
showing against the Frenchman than
did Tommy the fact that the St. Paul
mittman fought under conditions
that prevented him from doing his
best will be lost sight OF generally
and TunneyGibbons meeting will
have a money value
Was Tunney looking ahead to this
battle when he engaged Tommy's
brother Mike to coach him for Carp?
At last reports Tommy and Mike, de-
spite the dying wishes of the father
of the two fighters. were still far
from fraternal in their attitude to-
ward each other.
On the other hand it would be car
rying a feud rather beyond all re-
spectacle lengths were Mike to at
tempt to slip anything on brother
Tom through Tunney. And all the
chances are he would attempt moth
ing of the kind. Blood is thicker than
water when it comes right down to
a fight.
Psrul Berlenbach. in the opinion of
ring experts, will never be anything
but what he is, a slow, unscientific
man with a wallop-good against
dubs, but a loss against champions
and near CHAMPIONS

AS for the National League. il is a
forcgone conclusion that Boston.
Philadelphia and st. Louis are out of
the championship race but like busy
mosquitoes they can buzz around and,
do a lot of singing of other clubs
between now and September.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati must
brace on this fortnight trip of the
east into the west if there is any
brace in their systems. and the Cubs
have got to win to hold their own
and TO renew the reservoir of con-
f1dence that their owners find empty
ing since the Cubs got back home
Pirates Up Trend.
The chances are that Pittsburgh is
on the up trend. Cincinnati has gott
to start up to hold its own in the
first division. and St Louis is now
where the team can bang and smash
away all that it pleases. because it
has everything to gain and nothing
to lose-it can't get lower than last
place.
If Pittsburgh ever gets settled to a
state of mind where it has fixed
batting order and fixed f1elders. the
Pirates may Yet give the Cubs a
merry race for place in the fight But
no one club has a chance to put the
Giants out of the lead. 1t will take a
concentrated attack by the rest of the
league to do it.
When the Giants went through the
west on their first trip, they appeared
musty and mildewed, but after they
returned home they placed them
selves in a commanding position,
which is exactly what they have been
doing for 50 long that the fans rub
their weary heads and wonder why
it is that the seven other managers
in the league never seem to be able
to get McGraw on his back.
There must be a net difference of at
least twelve games from the present
standings to make the Giants look
bad. As the race has been going for
three weeks. not d team has shown
enough power to move forward.
Meanwhile, the Giants keep forging
ahead.

When two men are out and there
is a man on third base the inhelders
always play back and play for the
batsman. A base hit or an error is
the only thing which will score the
runner, so there is no necessity OF
playing in, as there would be when
less than two men are out. because
a squeeze- sacrifice play is impos-
sible with two men out The ball if
hit by the batter in such a situation
will be played SO a to get the easiest
and surest out Usually this means
that the ball will be thrown to first
for the put-out.

families in habits of honesty, health
and ambition to make the most of
their opportunities for education and
character growth. and their rescue
from chronic dependence in the next
generation. A second test Is the de-
crease in the relative number of
those needing assistance even in the
face of a growing population

jects are invited to send their con-
tributions to Ord Preston. treasurer,
