BALANCE LEADERS
Out of Race, but Knock off
Contenders--Macks Given
Coat of WhiteWaSh.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, Jr.,

ASSoCihbeu HTeSS Sports writer.
~ UE to the efforts of a pair
of clubs which are not
even making a pretense of
getting into the super
heated National League pennant
struggle, the three contenders for
the flag have found themselves
in more uncertain position with
the prospect that the coming
series between the Chicago Cubs
and New York Giants will be the
really crucial one of the season.
The Giants have taken second place
in the standing and have placed them
selves within striking distance of the
league leading Cubs, only three games
behind.
While the Giants were taking a close
struggle from the st. Louis Cardinals,
4 to 2, Pittsburgh showed BrooklynS
Robins into third place with an 8-to-O
triumph, while the humble Phillies kept
the league leaders from making any
sort of gain in a double header.
The Phillies took the first game by a
9-to-8 count, despite the efforts of Hack
Wilson, who clouted his AID home run
to tie the National League record set
last year by Chuck Klein, and of Hart
nett and Blair, who also hit homers,
Then, as the teams attempted to play
OF Saturdays thinning tie, the tail
enders battled the Cubs to a standstill
in Is innings of play which wound up
In a 6-6 tie. F1dgety Phil Collins hurled
the entire game and was deprived of
victory when Lester Bell hit a homer
with two on in the eighth inning.
The Giants gained their triumph by
some timely hitting in the second in
ming which produced three runs, Pitcher
Carl Hubbell driving in two of them.
Brooklyn failed to make any progress
at bat, as Steve Swetonic pitched his
first full game this year for the Pirates
and made it Shit shutout. With
nothing much at stake, Fred Farmhouse
turned in another nice job of hurting to
give the Boston Braves 4-to-0 victory
over Cincinnati.
Terrell Wins Another.
The American Leagues hurlers had
thoroughly enjoyable day, with the
Boston. The red stockinged mounds

tiers, while the Indians got the bene-

Earl Whitehill continued his chase
after Ferrel's league-leading total OF
victories by running his string to IL
straight to give Detroit 2-to-l victory
over Washington. Charley Ruffing Of
New York made another kind of mark
by pitching his third two-hit game since
he Joined the New York Yankees. His
victims this time were the Chicago
White Sox, who succumbed by 3-to-0

THE Blue and Gold Indians
of the Illini, long noted for
their skill on the gridiron
and on the track, are also
quite proficient at other games,
among them wrestling, q sport
wherein Middle Westerners seem to
achieve great skill. Somebody once
said, out in the West, where Men

Mum and the brother Monte. who
starred at Nebraska in foot ball and
then went into professional ring
work, Wayne as a wrestler and
Monte as a prize fighter. At Illinois,
too, they develop fine wrestlers, and,
while no student from Urbana has
vet won the world heavyweight mat
crown, as Mum of Nebraska did,
nevertheless an Illinois lad won the
only Olympic wrestling title to be
credited to the United States at
Amsterdam in 1928.
Allie Morrison, captin of the 1880
Illinois mat team, proved himself

KLEIN SALUTES WILSON

CHICAGO, August 20 (R.-Hack
Wilson is becoming more and more per
sonal as he proceeds with his attempt
to destroy Chuck Klein's National
League home run record.
Monday Wilson knocked No. AZ over
the Philly outfielder's head into the

Klein's mark of 43 and parked the ball

are shaking the moth balls out Of
the life of q sailor for few salty
The races this year will be simplified
for the landlubber ana for the corre-
spondent who has not taken course In
navigation. This IL to be O boat-for-
boat race--that Is to say, that the boat
crossing the finish line FIRST will win
the race.
If your boat racing has been confined
to the Swan Lake at Central Park, you
may be amazed to know that this has
not always been so. Frequently in past
Americas Cup races the last was de-
clared first according to the laws OF
international yacht racing after the ex-
perts had finished adding and substract-
ing measurements.
1t Is complicated business, this
yacht racing, unless they sail boat-for-
boat. In fact. it is 30 complicated, as
through with the figuring following a
race there is some doubt left In the
minds Of the experts as to just which
boat really did win according to the
rules and customs OF international yacht
racing.
The thing was explained to me once,
but I always was too dumb at math to
get it. 1t has something to do with
the length over all and the spread OF
canvas and the cube root of something
else connected with the yachts. SWhen
the naval architects get through, they
produce something that looks like an
expose of the Einstein theory, and the
yacht whose skipper can guess the an
swer wins the race.
In the last races for the Americas
Cup, Charles Francis Adams, who
sailed the defender, Resolute, guessed
the answer correctly and promptly after
each race and the cup remained with
the New York Yacht Club. Skipper
Adams lost only one race and that was
when the throat halyards of the Amer

lean yacht parted and, unfortunately,
there was no sailor on board who knew
how to splice rope. BY the time they
looked this up in a naval encyclopedia
the challenger was too far ahead.
Because of his ability in solving the,
problems handed to him by the commits
races, they made Charles Francis
Adams Secretary of the Navy Nobody
can say that this appointment was not
made on merit alone. You should see
one of those problems when the yachts
are not sailing boat-forboat. If you
think that the first lord of the ad-
miralty in the British Navy could get
one of them offhand. without the aid
of the fourth assistant secretary, who Is
up on ''math," then ten will get q
hundred of my money.
Fortunately, this year the race is to
be decided boat-for-boat, so that It
will not be absolutely necessary to
requisition the services of the Secretary
of the Navy as skipper of the defender,
whichever yacht may be selected as
the defender. All that the skipper OF
the American boat will have to do will
be to cross that finish line first. That's
all There will be no headaches in the
laboratory after the days sail 1t seems
as though child could sail the de-
fender.
There will be no alibis after this par
ticular set of races for the Americas
Cup. When 1t Is over, If the cup stays
in America. the British cannot say, I'VE
beat you on the water, but you beat us
in the laboratory, We were outflgured,

BASE BALL
"Tagging Runner
BY AL DEMAREE.

(Former Pitcher. New York Giants.)
When a base runner is trapped
between bases there is usually a lot
of throwing back and forth by the
players closing in on him as he
dashes back and forth trying to keep
from being tagged. This is all
wrong. In the first place every time
a throw is made there is the chance
that it will be dropped or hit the
runner and he will be safe. In the
second place, If he is caught between
second and third or third and the
plate it gives the other runner or

The Offensive Change.

THERE has been a big drift toward
l. a heavier offense tp many sports.
In the same way it is now the
heavy hitting that dominates base ball
where most of the pitchers spend a
weary Summer. And IL the ball parks
were larger the outfielders would soon
run out of legs. They would have TO
be marathon runners TO qualify.
The same has been true OF tennis
to a large extent, although young sgd
ney Wood has shown that a softer
attack can also upset the smashers.
THERE has been general belief
i that Knute Rockne builds up his
Notre Dame teams along offensive
lines. But it so happens that while
Notre Dame always has fast, hard
running attack, 1t also has one of the
strongest defensive combinations in foot
ball. The South Bend line last Fall was
one of the best of all time, with Moyni-
han, Cannon, Law and Twomey around.
