All big winners in American
league history have felt. at least
once in their respective seasons Of
super-greatnesS, the sting OF as
many as three straight defeats. The
Athletics OF 1929 qualified under
this rule of baseball fate yester-
day-presuming the AS not only
will not only win by a margin great
enough TO place them in a class
with the Red Sox Of 1912 and the
Yankees of 1923 and 1927.
Jake Stahl's 1912 Red Sox STAN
peded Washington by IA and one
half games az the finish. but had
one run of three straight defeats
against them. Higgins 1923 cham
pions had two strings Of three re-
verses punched on either side OF
a lone victory in early June TO
make u pa slump Of six defeats in
seven engagements. The 1927 Yam
KEGS lost four straight just after
mid season, but otherwise never
heSitated.
Connie Mack's first run Of three
straight losses for the current sea-
son was accomplished in Chicago
Yesterday when the White Sox
nosed out Nose Grove in the ninth
by 4 to 3.
The White Sox already have
qualified as the jinx team Of the
Athletics. The Chicago victory yes
terday brought Blackburne's boys
up TO within one Of a tie against
the AS in Is games, and left the
coming champions faced by the ne
cessity of taking at least the odd
game in the remaining seven TO win
the seasons series from the lowly
Sox.
The Browns batted hard against
Hoyt. Pipgras and Nekola as Sam
my Gray stopped the Yanks with
seven hits to win by 10 to 0. The

WIN OVER Bluffs ENDS SPUD
LOSING STREAK AND PUSHES
FLAG LEAD TO SAFER EDGE
BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer

For the sake of argument Wichita
Falls pitched George Washington
Payne yesterday, and al a result
the Spudders were two and one-half
games ahead Of Houston today. The
variety was welcome to the Spud-
ders as the victory ended a four
game losing streak for the champ
ions-apparent. 1t was Payne's 23rd
victory Of the season.
Houston's hopes Of gaining the
top Of the league before the end OF
the series with the northerners
went glimmering with the game as
the Bluffs will still be a game and
one half out of first place If they
win today.
The waco-Dallas game at Waco,
which Waco won 10 to four was a
tough n on pitch. Leo DECKER
man was first under the gun and
he pitched himself out Of the ball
game and a job. After he had walk
ed the first three Dallas batters who
faced him in the first inning he was
taken from the game and found an
unconditional release awaiting him
at the bench.
Preacher Thurman, who relieved
him faced a tough situation with
the bases full, but he solved 1t by
forming two men to pop out and
Tanning one, no one scoring. After
that the Dallas pitchers did the
worrying. Fort Worth lost to Beau
mont. Dallas and Fort Worth will
try conclusions again today with
their opponents Of yesterday.
San Antonio broke another OF
those monotonous losing streaks 70
slide Shreveport from third TO
fourth place in the standings with
a 4 TO 3 victory. Three Sport pitch
ers tried their luck on the tribe and
all of them had bad luck. Chaplin
allowed Shreveport only seven hits.
It was San Antonio's fourteenth VIC
tory in Sc games played since the
start OF the second half. and most
Of them have acted as commas for
losing streaks.

Like most other marks IN this
fast-moving era OF sport, the half
mile running record likely will fall
under the flying feet of some new
Mercury but the two men most ca
pable Of knocking it off quickly.
Douglas @. A. Lowe of England and
Lloyd Hahn Of Nebraska, appar-
emily have hung up their spiked
shoes for good.
It took a dozen years for Fed
Meredith's old record of 1852 is to
be lowered 10 Isl 3-5 by the gallop-
ing German. Otto Peltzer. Hahn ran
the 1880" in ISL 2-5 on a banked
indoor track a year and a half ago
but unfortunately indoor perform
ances have no official standing in
the blue-book OF international rec
ords.
Lowe seemed capable Of a worlds
record last summer. He made a
show Of Hahn as well as Peltzer
at Amsterdam IN the Olympic 800
meter finals, setting a e record.
Bridge, on a terrifically hot after
noon and after one hard race, Lowe
reeled off his half-mile leg Of a
relay in close to 1:50. He had the
aid Of a running start but he wasn't
extended. Had he been given the
chance for an official try that day,
1t seemed Lowe might easily have
cut two seconds off the record.
There have been few greater CON-
petitors or more graceful striders
than black haired Douglas Lowe Of
Oxford. He likes to run, "for the
sport Of it." but he prefers now to
concentrate on the more serious
business Of becoming an English
barrister while Hahn turns TO farm
ing.
Relief pitchers seldom make good
starting pitchers. Some time ago l
asked Bucky Harris the reason Tor
this. Bucky handled one OF the best
relief men of them all, Firpo Mar
berry. who helped washington win
remnants in 1924 and 1928.
There must be something psy-
GEOLOGICAL about it or else 1t is Tx

didn't feel at ease unless he went IN
there with the bases TANNED. no
one out and the ball game at stake.
Put him in there at the start OF a
game and he usually would feel so
lonesome he would fill the bases.
The trouble was he didn't solve his
own troubles as we'll as those ON
other pitcher left for him"
