!PHAN70MS DEFEAT
 AMERICAN LEGION
Winners Press Closer to Golfers
 in Junior City League
Standing


 By beating the American Legion 10 to in a Junior City baseball league game at Walnut Hill park last evening the Phantoms pressed closer to the pace-setting Golfers and spoiled the losers chances of figuring in the race for the cham pionship.
 The Phantoms found the offerings of Schmarr to their liking and hit consistently when they had men on bases. Although the Legion pound ed Camp hard they were unable 10 get a rally started except ill the sixth inning because of the sensa- tional fielding of the Phantoms. It winners which allowed the Legion to get four runs in it's big inning.
 All of the blame cannot be placed on Schmarr for the Legion's defeat as he did some very fine pitching at times but his mates let it go for naught by ragged fielding.
 With two outs and one man on in the first frame Schmarr was nicked for three straight hits and an error by Capodice gave the Phan- toms a start of four runs.
 An error, a stolen base, an out and a passed ball gave the Legion one counter in this frame.
 The next scoring came n ,he fourth when the winners sewed the game up with five runs. These re- suited from three hits, a base on balls and four errors. Two hits, q walk, hit batsman ana some slow fielding, put four men around ,le bases for the Legion in tue sixth.
 The game was exceptionally fast but had to be called 1t the end of the eighth because of darkness. John O'Brien featured py accepting ten chances at third base for the winners without an error. ] pr 6 n led the stickers with three safe blows

 The Stanley Works crew must win tonight's game in order to stay in sole possession of first place. A loss will put the Buttmaker in a tie for the lead with Fatnirs while victory will put the crew a game and a half ahead. With tonight's game, the Buttmakers face a tough schedule because of the fact that the team meets Fafnirs next Thursday night in it's last battle in the Industrial League.

HORNSBY WORKS
 WELL WITH CUBS
No Longer Can Be Called the Trouble Maker" Of Baseball

Chicago, Aug. Is (UP)-Rogers Hornsby, who has been fooling pitchers with his busy bludgeon since he broke into baseball, now has con- vincingly fooled those critics who predicted he would ruin the Cubs pennant chances this season by his fiery temperament.
 Maybe the "Rajah' has reformed, but owner William Wrigley, Jr., and Manager Joe Mccarthy of the Bruia machine, which is bounding toward Pennantville in high gear today, are satisfied he never has been under stood and that he always has been libelled.
 Several incidents have aided Hornsby in his fight to prove the fallacy of his cognomen of trouble maker.' ' To start with he volun- tarily promised his new employers tc stop playing the races and as far as is known he hasn't frequented a race track all season. Again, his apparent willing spirit to help the Cubs win was demonstrated when Mccarthy decided to juggle his bat ting order.
 While the "Rajah" was hitting in the cleanup position, the Cubs faltered considerably and Mccarthy yearned for change. He ap- preached Hornsby and the latter readily accepted his suggestion that he be pushed into third position with Hack Wilson in fourth. The result was the Cubs started the great squirt that now finds them eight games in front of their nearest rivals, the skidding Pirates.
 In the matter of pop flies, Horns by again has displayed his willing ness to accept McCarthy's judgment For years, he has been notoriously This season he has been stepping aside to permit First Baseman Charlie Grimm Or Shortstop Elwood English nab them. With all. he has demonstrated he is a great fielder Up today, he has a fielding average Of .97O and has been the pivotal point in S3 of the 123 double killings i the Cubs have made.
 But his war club has been a big factor in making him a great favor ite with Cub fans. He has not hammered the ball with as much success as last year when he won the National League batting champion 1 ship but he has won many hard bat ties for the Bruins. With his .36F average, he has batted in 92 runs and scored 107 himself, accounting for almost one-third of the team; total runs. Twenty-Five times has
 he hoisted the sphere over the fence for a circuit ride,
 Furthermore. he is the only mem Der of the team who has been ir every game this season.
 Don't worry about Hornsby, Mccarthy said recently when he was
 asged when the "Rajah" would start making trouble. "The only embar.
 rassment he has caused so far Is tc
 invite the players out for a dish ot ice cream" "

Uneasy is the head upon which rests the crown" is a saying that has lasted through centuries and its meaning was brought home with terrific force to the Burritt baseball team last night at Walnut Hill park in the postponed game between the league leaders and the Holy Cross crew of tossers. Heavy favorites going into the game last night, the Burritts emerged a humbled and saddened crew after suffering a s to 3 lacing at the hands of the youngsters from Pennington avenue who are piloted by Johnny Cabay. The Burritts had chance to take possession of the pennant' for this season an all but sure thing by victory last night. but the team was outplayed from start to finish by one of the fightingest crews of baseball CTS this city has seen in some sea- sons
 The big bat of "Starhead" Bud nick swung with mean pair of arms and propelled by an eagle eye, kept the Holy Cross team in the run the Burritts got a jump in the SCOT ing list. In the four times he faced the opposing hurler. "Starhead" whaled out two home runs and a triple giving his team the impetus and the spirit to fight.
 Ln the pitching department, it was youth against age and youth won out. Bruno Kania, veteran of about 10. seasons, was opposed by Eddie Krystopa, one of this seasons finds, and though Bruno's work of paper, appears a little better than that of the Holy Cross twirler, in the game, Bruno was hit hard and timely while Eddie got himself out of some bad looking holes through crafty headwork and a sturdy arm. It was apparent in the first in- ming that Krystopa was a mite nerv- ous as he started and he walked Ga domski. The fleet-footed outfielder of the Burritts stole second and, with two out, he rode home on John ny Klatka's slice to right field. The Holy Cross team had gone out in order in the first but "Starhead' Budnick led off in the second. He hit terrific drive p. Stanley Bud nick in right field and circled the bases with plenty to spare. This evened up matters.
 The Burrtts, despite a walk and hit in their half of the second, were unable to score but the Holy Cross team also went without get ting a run in the third. In the last half of this frame, with one out, Stub Budnick connected for a two | bagger. The ball went between 1 Tronoski in center and Charlie Kre- dar in left. Kredar made a great bid to stab it one hand but could only knock it downs~ Again Johnny Klatka strode to the plate and this time he singled into left scoring the Burritt short stop.
 The fourth inning came and Star head" Budnick led off again. This time he belted one to far center field for a triple. With one out, he at tempted to score on a fly behind short stop but his brother Stub" Budnick threw him out at home plate. "Starhead" and Kopec col lided with a bang at the plate but neither was injured.
 The Burritts went out in order in
