SIMMONS CLOSING
 ON GOOSE GOSLlN
Lou Gehrig Has Also Been Stead.
 fly Climbing in Batting List

Chicago. July 2S. R-"Goose" Goslin, the Washington Outfield. who can hit but not throw, is find ing his hitting leadership in the American League in precarious position at least that is what the figures released today and including games of Wednesday showed.
 The reason that Goslin's leader ship is in danger, is because Sim mons. member of Connie Mack's famous aggregation of old timers and youngsters. has started to hit. During the week Simmons played in eight games and collected II hits to boost his average from 1869 to .37S. only If points less than the average of the mighty Goslin. who slipped few points.
 But Simmons is not alone in his drive on Goslin's honors. Lou Geh- zig of the Yankees has been steadily climbing and is now only two points behind the Athletics outfielder. Following Goslin, Simmons and Gehrig among the regulars were ! Manush. St. Louis. .354: Lazzeri New York. .34S: E. Miller. Phila' delphia, .S47; Myer, Boston. .ss6;

Washington Dr,,bs Y. M. C. \.

The powerful Washington club handed the |. NJ. C. A. team severe trouncing at Walnut Hill park yesterday and when the slaughter was over the winners had amassed a total of 39 counters while the "Y" team was unable to chalk up soli- tary run.
 The losers used lo men in . des- perate attempt to turn the tide with players on the team changing positions frequently but this proved to be in vain as the Washington crew were run hungry and took ad vantage of everything offered it.
 After the first inning when eight men of the winning team faced the offerings of Murray who was toil ing for the Main street tosserS, 1t was only a question Of how many runs the Washington team would pile mp. The fifth inning was . nightmare for the scorer. After eight men had faced Murray in this session and five of them scored the "Y" hurler gave way to Lynch. He proved to be little improver ent. . however. as ten more batters went 10 the plate before the side was re- tired. When the inning was over the winners had chased IS runs across the plate on 10 safe hits.
 Tho Washington team hit safely o7 times during the game. every man on the winning outfit getting at least one safe hit. Sam Capodice led his mates with the willow. crashing out five safe blows. He hit two for the circuit and one that was good for two bases. He scored eight Of the winners tallies. Higgins. the win , ming pitcher. hit safely in four out of seven trips to the plate.
 , Higgins held the losers at bay throughout the game. The closest the "Y" team came to scoring q run was in the fourth inning when
 Coyle tried to score on a hit into
 left field but perfect throw by
 Fisk caught him at the plate.

Cobb. Philadelphia. .3s1; F. Rice. Washington, 1925 and Fonseca, Cleveland, 1925.
 In accord with Simmons rise to the individual hitting column the Athletics have moved within strik- ing distance of the New York Yam kees in team batting. Only five points separate the league leaders. the runner-ups. the Yankees having an average of 1902. three points less than last week.
 Unable to lay claim to much of anything else in the league the Bos- ton Red Sox are tied for top honors with St. Louis in team fielding. Both the Browns and Red Sox are playing icfensiv" ball with an av- evarge of .975. In contrast the Yankees again dropped to a tie for sixth place, six points below the leaders.
 Alvin Crowder of St. Louis, who week ago held the leadership among the moundsmen, now ranks second, lIoyt of the Yankees has won one more game. Hoyt's record is l2 and while Crowder has dropped a like number and won II.
 In stolen bases, Johnny Mostil of the Chicago White Sex has an ad- vantage of one over Myer of Boston and Rice of Detroit with his l6.

In game that developed into an absolute farce. the Paradise Park team smothered the Vance team under 23 to 1 score. There was one bright spot in the walkaway of the former champions over their op- ponents yesterday and that was the pitching of Miller. Paradise Park slabman. He allowed the Vance players. "ringers'' and all. only two hits, one single and the other a double. He should have had a shut out but hts mates. weary from the ceaseless drooling Of the opposing players. let down the bars in the eighth and Vance scored one.
 The story of the game can be told in few short words. Paradise Park started in the first inning. and scored two runs. 1n each Of the succeeding frames. the winners SCOT ed almost at will riling up total c, g runs. This could have been doubled had the Paradisers wanted 10 make the game tragedy.
 The winners played great has"- ball. Woiack behind the plate. emn- lated Wally schanE at his best. dem-

By the Associated Press.

Br the Associated Press.
 The St. Louis Cardinals second lnyasion of the east thus far has proven neither pleasurable nor profitable,
 The Cards dropped another game 10 the Brooklyn Robins yesterday. 5 to ?, and saw their National league lead cut to four games as the re- vivitied Cincinnati Reds took an- other fall out of the Phils, , to l.
 Dazzy Vance held the Cardinals to six hits. one of them Jim Bottom ley's 2and home run of the season. At that Vance was pitching losing ball until the sixth when the Dodg CTS uncorked three run rally at the expense Of the aged left handed spitballer, Clarence Mitchell, Clar- cnce wasn't around when the in- ming closed and his successors Har- old Haid and Sylvester Johnson were not exactly ht-proof

BY BOB MATHERNE

Early in the summer of 1921. a young man who had left his Iowa home with intentions of becoming a big league pitcher found himself in a small Minnesota town whose offi- cials dealt harshly with vagrants- and he was broke and out of q job.
 On one hand the cornfield beck oned-on the other hand those law officials. But this young man had seen Paris with the American EX- peditionary Forces and he still be- lieved he had the stuff to pitch in the majors.
 He had only dime and nickel in his pockets. but he had hunch that a friend of his who lived in nearby town might be able 10 get him a job. He decided to play the hunch
 Only Cost Boss Sixty Gents
 Sure. I know where you can get a iob," said this friend. Get to Madison, $. D.. and tell the manager I sent you there"
 But I can't--haven't got that much money" replied the ambitious young man.
 Haven't got sixty cents? Well. I'll wire the manager Of that club to send you enough to get there"
 The young man who didn't have sixty cents to report for his first job in professional baseball is now one of the leading hurlers in the Ameri- can league. member of the New York Yankees, and seems destined to be the first major league hurler to win 20 games this year. He prob- ably will win more.
 His name is George Pipgras.
 Pipgras' arrival as a major league star is a story of keen determina- ton on his part and the faith of a manager that he had . real pitch CT" in this tall young man.
 It took only one exhibition ot Pipgras' pitching to convince Man. ager Huggins that he had the stuff i to baffle major league batters. Per haps not that year--it was at New Orleans in 1922 when Pipgras joined the Yankees-but certainly after [ year or two in the minors. Sure to Win Twenty Games
 The rookie who had taken the eye l Of Huggins had a nice fast ball and ', q natural "sailer." but he lacked l control and experience.
 For four seasons after Huggin. /, made that first estimate of thu youngsters ability. Pipgras jour neyed back and forth between Nev
 York and the minors. Each yea
 he looked better. Each year Hug
 gins became moro convinced that h. i would become star. It looke'
 like long struggle. and some sai'
 he never would. but
 l Last year Pipgras arrived:
 He arrived because he was am T bilious and Higgins had faith, an'
 the result is stardom today.
 As you know. the winning of ::
 games in the major leagues thes
 days is no easy task. Only seve
 pitchers turned the feat last veal
 and they were Waite Hoyt, Left Grove and Ted Lyons in the Ameri
 can league and Carmen Hill. Char
 ley Root. old Alex and Jess Haine in the National league. Some cam ] close. but close doesn't count.
 Pipgras should reach the 20 mar before August passes. He won h seventeenth game the third week i July against the White Sox, an there certainly is no doubt but whs he will win three more in the ne' few weeks
 At the rate he Is going. and tf ; gait the Yankees are travelling. ! , should be the first to reach the , mark this year. and that is the ne, few weeks. And there is goo , chance for him to go far above tn; mark before the season ends.
