TENSION IS TAKEN FROM
 NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE
St. Louis Cardinals Win From Braves While Giants Lose to Cubs-Yankees Are Defeated By Chicago White Sox-Tigers Take Fall Out of Athletics Cincinnati Turns Tables on Philadelphia, While Brooklyn Stops Losing Streak By Downing Pirates

The defeat nevertheless reverted to Genewich. He left the winning run on base, and although that par ticular run subsequently, was eased on a felder's choice, the retiring pitcher still had to stand responsi- ble for one runner.
 The Cardinal victory over the Braves by to 3 was acceptable enough to St. Louisians at it's face value, but more acceptable as a sign that the Red Bird slump had end ed. Beset often by indifferent pitch ing, the Cardinals got an excellent brand from Willie Sherdel, and blacked it up with 12 solid hits. Three of the F were gathered by Sunny Jim Bottomley, who celebrat- cd the end of his own personal bat ting slump with a home run. It was | his 26th, and placed him within one of Hack Wilson, the Chicago out fielder who leads the league.
 Cincinnati turned the tables on Philadelphia, winning by II to 4, while Brooklyn smashed its losing streak, stopping the Pirates in a nip-and game by 6 to 5. The fray was so warm that Donie Bush talked himself out of it. DaZzy Vance won his sixth straight, all though Jess Petty had to come to his rescue in the eighth.

GOLFERS REMAIN
 IN LEAGUE LEAD
Take American Legion Team Into Camp in Junior Circuit
League Standing

Taking the American Legion base ball team into camp last night in a Junior City league game at Walnut Hill park, the Golfers kept their slate of victories clean and retain ed thelr lead in first place. Poor support and idle playing in the early innings cost the Legion crew six runs which later proved to be handicap when rallies were started.
 The biggest obstacle in the path of the Legionnaires was Szymeczko, twirler for the Golfers. With fast ball and a pretty curve. he held the Legion batters to one lone hit and single run. It was an error that gave the Legion team its counters. On the other hand. Herman Schmarr was unable to breeze his fast ball past the Golfers in the early stages of the game and when the oppor- tunities presented themselves to make outs, his mates fell down nat ly and miserably.
 The game was called by Umpire Larry Mangan after the seventh in ming because of darkness. Schmarr got really warmed up after the third i and blanked the Golfers, allowing only one solitary hit. In the fifth and sixth innings he struck out three l batters.
 Jason, first man up in the game, greeted Schmarr with triple to | right field. Toczko sent up long fly to left and Jason scored. ZuJko slammed the ball clear across the first diamond for home run. skon- ieczny hit a high fly to center and Sam Capodice ignominiously dropped it. Florkowski rolled an easy one to Schmarr, but Zaleski forgot tc catch the ball on an easy throw. All this resulted in three runs. Mar cinzyk hit a double tp open the sec ond, Toczko brought him in with hit of the same calibre. A single by Skonieczny, triple by Florkowsk and another double by Marcinzyk gave the Golfers two more. Ihls ended the teams scoring.
 Haber walked for the American Legion in the first frame. He wen
 to second and third when the bal cot away from Marcinzyk and rod' home when Sokoloski dropped
 schmarrs easy ly to right. This be gan and ended the Legion scoring. The game was featured by heav!
 hitting of the Golfers and the excel , lent comeback of Schmarr. His wor' of striking out five men in succes sion was one of the bright spots Il
 the game. The summary:

club klatka stands today as the only member Of the original Falcon baseball team who has consistently played with the team and still be- longs to the club.
 The movement to honor the veter- an of six campaigns is an innovation in this city but it is proving to be q pleasing one to the fans and packers of the Falcon baseball club. klatka is the leading hitter of the team and he is among, the most popular of the players who hold forth each fair Sunday at St. Mary's field.
 A committee is arranging a suit able program at the present time to be carried out at the field and the day should be red-letter one in local baseball circles.
 Taftville, considered by many as the leading baseball team in semi pro ranks in the state, will furnish the opposition. As the Falcons have been heading for the state semi pro championship also, the game will mean more than just another contest to both clubs. A real fight is in pros- pect.
 The contest will start promptly at 3 o'clock.

Local Baseball Team Out for Re vengc for Defeat Administered Them Last Sunday.

A chance to even the count will be given the Sokols baseball team of this city next Sunday when the Col linsville team will come to Willow Brook park for a return game with the local crew. The Collinsville team drew first blood last Sunday by de- feating the Sokols in that town, but because of the inefficiency of the umpires, the locals feel that the game was not real test of strength.
 The Sokols are out to beat the Collinsville team by q wide margin. They will start their strongest line up as follows: Kulas. 1b: Wojack. ob; Venture. ss; Kania, 3b; Jervis, Tronsky and Hayes in the outtield. Haines will catch and Sincko will probably pitch.
 Collinsville will inc up as follows: Moroney. 1b: kubea, 2b; R. Curry. SIS; D. Curry. Sb: Rautter. Farling and Paschal in the outfield. Colby will catch and Horn will pitch. The contest will start promptly at o'clock. Paul will umpire.

INVITATION TO

BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 6.-An in
vitation to represent the west in
the Pasadena Rose Bowl in the New
Year football classic in 1880 has
been rejected by the University of
Southern California.
In explaining it's action, the Tro.
jan general athletic committee said
it was contrary to the policy of the
University to play post-season
games.
simultaneously, athletic heads of
Southern California, admitted that
they were not in harmony with the
policies pursued by the present ath-
letic association of the Tournament
of Roses Association which extended
the invitation.
Les Henry, chairman of the foot.
ball committee of the Tournament
of Roses, was accused by the Tro-
jan management a year ago of max.
ing certain uncomplimentary re.
marks about the University of
Southern California in addresses be
fore students of other coast institu.
tions.
Although Henry has insisted that
he was misquotcd, the differ
ences never have been adjusted.

'SHARKEY WANTS
ANOTHER BOUT
WITH DE MPSEY
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dee. 6-Jack Dcmp-
sey may never come back, but it s
going to be mighty hard to convince
Jack Sharkey that the old manassa
mauler is through with the ring for
good.
Sharkey would rather whip Demp-
sey than be champion. He almost
finished Dempsey in the first two
rounds of their first fight at Yankee
Stadium, in July, 1927, but he
eventually went down in the seventh
round with the cry, "Foul!' on his
lips. Since that bout Sharkey has
nurscd a grudge against the former
champion.
Sharkey and his manager, Johnny
Buckley, are not the only ones who
believe Dempsey will fight again
this summer, but they believe it
stronger than most anyone else.
Every time Tex Rickard has men
toned bout to Buckley the latter
wants to know what about signing
for match with Dempsey.
With Sharkey rapidly approaching
fighting form again after long
layoff because of knee injury,
Buckley has started laying plans
for the Boston sailor s return to the
ring and has signed for Sharkey to
engage in four bouts under Rickard S
, promotion.
If Sharkey comes through his
first three tests successfully, his
reward will be another match with
Dempsey at Yankee Stadium in
Junc-providcd Dempsey returns to
the ring.
It was Sharkcy who whipped
! Harry Wills in 1926 when the Har-
, lem negro was the black menace of
the heavyweight division.
Now Sharkcy is willing to take on
George Godfrey, the latest black
menace if the public desires the
match. All of the hcavywcights cX-
ccpt Johnny Risko have lodged
! Godfrey. Risko won a close decision
from The Leipcrvillc giant last sum
mcr at Ebbcts Field, but took an
awful body walloping from Godfrey
which undoubtedly had something to
do with his defeat at the hands of
Jim Maloney at Boston last week.

TORONTO, Ont, Dee. 6.-Behind

ball meeting, with its loud conver-
sation in the hotel lobbies and soft
speech in the back rooms and its
Formal meetings where little men
Try, "Mr. Chairman,' and strut
heir brief moment in the limelight,
les movement of more Importance
DO America s national pastimc than
Ill the idle chatter about draft and
leals and the disciplining of recall
,itrant ball clubs.
The expansion of baseball beyond
Its present limits, which, as far as
he two major leagues are concern
ID, has been fixed rigidly for 2S
years, is IA subject of real concern
70 those who understand the situa-
ION. 1t was not altogether the de-
irc for holiday and some four per
'cnt beer that brought major league
presidents, club owners and repre-
'scntativcs in Unprecedented num-
|bcrs to this annual meeting of the
minors.
When the national association re-
|sumed its session this morning, there
WAS discussion of the universal
draft and its application to the class
|AA leagues. There will be no ac-
|ceptancc of the scheme by the In
|ternational, Pacific coast and
american association magnatcs, so
that whatever is voted cannot apply
to those circuits, protected as they
|are by the majorminor agreement.
New Plan Outlined
OF considerably more Importance
| may be the national association =
|action upon a process handed down
|by the advisory council of baseball
whereby the major leagues, upon
payment of IA fee of $4,000, shall
have the right to acquire the fran
chise of any minor league club at
ia valuation either to be agreed upon
by the parties concerned or fixed by
Judge Lands.
The purpose of the proposal is
obvious. The major leagues wish to
protect themselves against On
|croachmcnt from without or undue
Expansion from within the ranks of
organized baseball which might
bring about'a situation where Il
third big league would come into
existence.
1t is not 50 much that another
federal lcaguc war is feared. These
men Of organized baseball believe
lthc danger of such Il war is slight,
PAlrcady they are talking about
dividing up the contests of the
bursting Golfers of their war chest.
But the growth of baseball in com
munitics outside the major league
cities has been such of late that
some communities, like Baltimore,
Montreal, Toronto and Buffalo,
feel they are ready for big league
ball club.
1t might be that if expansion
were to take place within the limits
of organized baseball, these cities
would be bigger than some now
hanging on in the two major cir.
quits, and they could compete for
ball players and hence for attend
ancc in manner disconccrning to
the proponents Of status quo.
