MACKS REST, GAIN;
CUBS LOSE, PICK UP
Yankees Beaten as AS Idle,
While Bruins Divide as
BUGS Drop Game.
BY WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NHE AthletlcS apparently nave de-
veloped the knack of advancing
while standing still, but the
i Cubs have gone them one bet
ter by finding way to gain
ground while losing. The Macklan
margin was stretched to IA games yes
terday, when the Yankees lost to De-
troit as the leaders sat idle in Cleve-
land: the Cubs won and lost in
Brooklyn double-header, but the Pirates
obligingly dropped a 2-to-1 decision at
Braves Field, tossing half game into
the lap of Joseph Mccarthy. The Chi
cago lead now is 812 engagements.
Real pitching duels were on tap yes
terday at Braves Field, Navin Field and
the home of the Browns. The most
noteworthy mound performance was
turned in at Detroit by Earl WhitehIl,
who limited the savage Yankees to two
small hits to win by to 0. The cham
pionS went hitlesS until the seventh,
when Bob Meusel spoiled Whitehills
afternoon by outracing Westlings tnro"
and getting credit for single.
Roy Snerid, Whitehilrs pitching OPP
ponent, got a clean blow in the next
round, and that was all.
Sherid himself turned in a smart
game. which is becoming something OF
a habit with him, but he was not pre-
pared to meet such extraordinary work
as the Detroit southpaw flashed. Harry
Rice placed the game beyond Sherlds
reach in the very first inning with
home run.
HurIs Three-Hit Game.
George Blaeholder allowed the Bos-
ton Red Sox just three hits at st. Louis
YESTERDAY to win over Jack Russell by
3 to 0, while Fred Marberry and Gar
land Braxton collaborated upon four
hit performance, which set the White
Sox down by 9 to 4 at Chicago.
Rain kept the Athletics and the IN
dams indoors in Cleveland. They meet
in single game today, an open date on
both schedules.
Guy Bush trimmed Brooklyn by to
S in the first game of the Flatbusn
double header to gain his seventeenth
victory of the season, but Dazzy Vance
evened things up by downing the CUPS
by S to 4 in the second half OF the
program. The end of the first game,
was enlivened by shower OF F!atpusn
confetti from spectators around tniro
base in the ninth inning, when BressIer
was ruled out for being hit by battea
ball.
ty-sixth homer in the first game, ano
Kiki Cuyler hit for the circuit IN .tne
second.
Ed Brandt turned back the Pirates
with two hits at Braves Field to win
by 2 to l from Remy Kremer, who
yielded eight blows. Lloyd Waner col
iected both of the safeties off the Bos-
ton hurler. Brandt was scored upon
solely because of his wildness, Como
rosky smashing a sacrifice fly IN the
sixth, after three men had been passed.
Frank ODoups twenty third homer,
with two on base, enabling the Phils to
win from the Reds by to 4, and the
Giants lust outlasted the Cardinals,
to z. OFT hit his thirty-first.

the deciding game of the Region No. 10

The Capital lads got a three-run
lead off Pervola of Morgantown in the
first inning, and increased it as the
game went on.
Everett Russell pitched effectively for
the VictorS all the way. The hitting
stars were P. Facchina and George of
Washington, who got the only extra
base hits. Facchina hit a triple that
was good for four bases when Hodges
erred. George got a double.
Uniontown advanced to the final

TIME protest Of Uniontown, Pa,
against the George Washington
Post team of this city in the
l. regional finals of the American
Legion tournament at Philadel-
ptlia was declared baselesS today by
William w. Watt. who directed COM
petition here.
Uniontown has assailed the eligibility
of the Washington entry because Frank
Carter, a pitcher registered with 1t, has
been pronounced a professional.
Washington defeated Morgantown,
w. Va, yesterday, IL to 3, and today
was to meet Uniontown for the Region
No. 10 championship and the right to
play in the Eastern section final here
August 20, 81 and %. Today's game
was to be played under protest.
It Was All Settled.
"The matter was all threshed out be-
fore the George Washington Post team
played a game in the local SERIES" said
Watt, who continued: Garter was de-
clared ineligible because he was under
contract to the Baltimore International
League team.
However, Thomas L. Suter, manager
Of the team, insisted on keeping the
boys registration in the hope that he
would be permitted to pitch in the
regional final, which is out Of our
Jurisdiction.
1.-THE matter was put up to Dan
Sewers, national commissioner of the
Legion tournament, and he upheld our
decision to bar Carter from local play
and Showed his further disposition in
the matter by not including his fare in
the money sent to pay the WASHINGTON
teams expenses on the trip to Phila-
delphia.
II don't believe Uniontown has any
serious ground for protest"

with Mr.. McGillicuddy's Athletics. The
Cubs of the days of Tinker to Evers
to Chance" were a famous team. But
the famous teams come and go. The
Cubs have been out of it longer than
the Athletics.
Mr.. William Wrigley, owner of the
Cubs, has been quite as liberal with
the checkbook and fountain pen as
Col. Jacob Rupert of the Yankees.
This is not meant to take any OF
the managerial credit from Mr..
Joseph Mccarthy, who is master
minding the Cubs. But it is a great
aid and comfort to base ball man
ager. no matter how great his genius
for the game, to have an unlimited
bank roll and miles of chewing gum
behind him.
The Cubs now have Rogers Hornsby
for whom the Cardinals once refused
$275,o0o, and they seem to have ac-
quired all the players that Mr.. Nc
Just how Hornsby eventually landed
with the Cubs is one of those mysteries
of base ball trading, but he most en-
phatically is with them and quite
happy, he announces.
Only a short time ago it was an
nounced that Mr.. Wrigley was in
the market for other stars and
would make, any sort of offer for
them, which started more grumbling
to the effect that pennants could be
bought Sometimes they can in
roundabout way, but here is Col.
Jacob Rupert with the most ex-
pensive collection Of ivory in the
history of the game, with the prob
ability of having no pennant what
ever this year.
It was good business on the part OF
Mr.. Wrigley. When he bought the club
he bought a deficit. Now the club is
very much "out of the red," as bust
ness men say, and 1t is very DESTROYS
to keep ball club that way because
running base ball club is business.

KANSAS CITY SEEMS
SURE OF A. A. FLAG
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, August lots a long
way until September 30, but it appears
as If the American Association pennant
race already is decided in favor of the
rushing Kansas City Blues, who haven't
tasted championship pudding since
1928.
Today, with only So games left to be
played, Dutch Zwilling's men have a
fancy 10-game lead over their closest
but faltering rival, st. Paul, and get
ting stronger daily.
Except in 1923, when the Blues won
with 112 to Ill by st. Paul, 100 or
more games always have been enough
to win the flag in the Hickey loop. If
this tradition stands, it means the
Blues must win only 10 of their re-
naming So contests.

Comorosky came to the Pirates after

him play against the Giants one

He remained the. same grave and
somber looking gentleman sitting in his
box behind the Athletic dugout and
watching the proceedings with the eX-
preston of one afflicted by an in-grow-
ing sorrow. But Mr.. Fullerton knew the
technique Of the national pastime to the
extent of even guessing at the scores OF
world series games, so his warning
sunk in.
Finally Mr. Fullerton ceased max
ing predictions, and those Of us who
felt it our duty to watch Mr.. McGll-
licuddy stopped doing it. There were
so many other persons in the ma
tional pastime that seemed to be
more interesting subjects for watch
ing. It was after the watching of
Connie Mack ceased that the Ath-
letics started to climb, until at the
current writing it looks very much
as though Mr.. McGillicuddy would
be participating in another world
series.
Something like IA years ago the New
York Yankees visited Shibe Park at
Philadelphia to play series with the
Athletics. Col. Tillinghast L'Homme-
dieu Huston, who was then part owner
of the Yankees, confided in me that
the Yankee share for one game was
$375. They hardly could give away
passes 4OI LLldt oCI1Cos dAlA VIC SoAAO
became all the more lugubrious since
the lone customer in the bleachers,
overcome by gloom at the solitude OF
his surroundings, walked out during
crucial period in the fourth inning.
Circumstances have been altered con-
siderably since. The Yankee share of
game with the Athletics at the current
writing would not be a sum to be
Sneezed at even by those who are ac-
customed to sneezing at any sum in or
out of the hay fever season.
In building the present Athletic
machine Mr.. McGillicuddy started
from scratch. AS far as can recall
he spent few spectacular sums Of
money in the purchase of ivory. He
gathered it here and there, bit
at time, and organized a board of
strategy that knows all that there is
to be known about the national
paStime-not that Mr.. McGillicuddy
needs to be told much about the
game himself.
More heed should have been paid to
the admonition of Mr.. Fullerton to
Watch Connie Mack" not that there
is much in a prediction that takes IA
years to materialize, but because the
process by which Mr. McGillicuddy
reconstructed the Athletics after wreck
ing them is an interesting yarn.
The boys will be watching Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy intently in October from all
indications. for Mr.. McGillicuddy is
about to master mind in another world
series.

Poison and Big Poison" (the Waner
brothers) in center field and right
and Adam Comorosky in left! When
the Pirates won the pennant in
1925, they had Barnhart, Carey and
Cuyler in the outfleld.
Surely their present trio of outer
gardeners compares favorably with
the three who helped win the worlds
championship from the Senators
four years ago. Comorosky, mind
you, is more than a mere balance
wheel for the Waner boys. He's an
equally important cog.
Many other Polish ball players
have made good in the big leagues.
Stanley Coveleski is one; Jack
Quinn another.
