ST. Louis Club No Bargain for Major League 1929
Ruth Has Great Chance
For NeO Homer Record

NEW YORK, July / (C.P.A).-If
Babe Ruth continues to knock out
home runs at the present rate, he
will create a new world record. In
1927 Ruth rolled up a total of go
four-baggers, high-water mark for
the major leagues. The big fellow
made No. 80 In yesterdays game with
the Chicago White Sox in the Sta
dunn. 1t was the Yankees sixty
seventh American League game and,
including today's event, they still
are scheduled for 81. So Ruth, be-
fore the season has reached the half
way date, is leading the pack with
exactly half as many four masters
as he poled three years ago.
Ruth's long-diStance smuggling is
not surprising in view of the big
league records to date. Early today
the National League was credited
with 378 home runs and the Amer
lean League with 800, total of 687.
Before the end of this week TOO
homers will have been batted over
fences and into stands, with every
reason to believe that another rec
ord will be written into the history
Of the game next Fall.
Last year the major league play
ers pounded the apple for 1850 home
runs. Unless there is a sudden let
down, the totals will exceed 1,5O0
when the pennant races end on Sep

CUBS PROVE POISON
TO DODGERS'-HOPES
BY WALTER rRUMBuIL.

II Brooklyn doesn't win the National
League pennant his year the Robins
can blame 1t all on the Chicago Cubs.
That Chicago team agreesIAWith Uncle
WIbert Robinson's men Just like green
apples agree with a weak digestion.
The Cubs are not so hot against
New York, but one little growi out
OF them and the Brooklyn Hunters
climb a tree, Chicago is, so far. the
only club which has the edge on the
Robins in the winning and losing of
games played.
Many persons seem to believe that
Brooklyn has a terrific batting punch
and nothing else. The Robins have
plenty. Wright Is the best shortstop
In the game, for all-around value. and
Lopez is the best young catcher who
has shown up in a number of years.
Herman has developed into a good
general ball player. Brooklyn has. a
lot of talent.
M.You must hand 1t to those Chicago
Cubs. Hornsby is no light loss to any
club and their pitching staff was
pretty we'll shot early in the season,
but Chicago has just kept on playing
ball. New York has been getting bet
ter pitching and is travelling fast. in
spite Of dropping game noH and then.

A. A. VOTING TODAY
ON SPLIT SEASON
Louisville, Leader, Appears
as Only Foe-Night Play
to Be Discussed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
OH1CAGO, July Interest In
American Association base ball
~ fortunes today shifted from the
playing fields to a room in a
Chicago hotel where club owners of
the circuit went into a huddle with
President Thomas J. Hickey to consider
split season.
An unoficial canvass of the owners
showed that seven out of eight were
in favor of splitting the championship
season, the sole opposing owner being
ing Louisville Colonies. His opposition
was natural as the Colonies have such
wide margin in the current race that
he does not like to risk loss of the
second half and chance TO represent
the American Association in the an
nual little world series"
If the split season is voted, the sec
ond half will open July Z. President
Hickey said he believed no new sched-
ule would be framed for the second
season, if voted; July marks the half
way mark of the full seasons schedule
and the teams would play it out,
won and lost column All double
headers of the first half would auto
matically be dropped so as to give all
teams an equal schedule.
The player limit would not be af-
fected, Hickey said. At present no
team is permitted to carry more than
20 players until September l when
the limit is increased to IS.
II voted, it will mark the first time
in the American Associations history
that a split season has been held.
Clubs sponsoring the division believe It
will increase not only the interest, but
give some of the late starters like st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas
City and Toledo a chance to better
themselves financially. 1t is no secret
that the league was hard hit last year
financially and any proposal promising
to stretch the rubber band about the
league bankroll is welcomed
Night base ball probably will come
in for discussion today. President
Hickey is a Keen enthusiast for noe
turnal games since he viewed those
at Indianapolis.

YANkS AND ROBINS
EACH ADD A PLAYER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July both Wilbert
Robinson of the Brooklyn Robins and
Bob Shawkey Of the New York Yankees
have dug into the bankroll to strengthen
their clubs for the dash down the major
league home stretch.
Robinson announced yesterday that
the Robins had purchased Ike Boone,
smuggling outfielder from the Mission
Club of the Pacific Coast League, for
immediate delivery.
Boone, who was up with the Boston
Red Sox few seasons ago, is expected
to NIL in a bad hole in left field for
the Robins. With Babe Herman in
right field and Johnny Frederick in CEN
ter, Robinson hopes to round out his
ny-chasing staff with the addition of
Boone, who led the coast league in bat
ting last year with an average of .4O7.
He has hit around .440 In more than
10 games this year.
The Yankees, seeking additional
pitching strength, secured Ken Hollo-
way. veteran right handler of the Cleve-
land Indians, on waivers With the
Detroit Tigers for years, Holloway and
Jackie Tavener went to the Indians in
the trade that put George Uhle in a
Detroit uniform.

MACKS, CUBS AGAIN
ARE SETTING PACE
Only Difference Is That Griffs
and Robins Are Doing
Chasing Now.

By the Associated Press.
TINE Fourth of July is the unofi-
cial date for naming the win
ners of the major league pen
nants, but already the 1880 race
resembles the 1929 chase, with the Ath-
leticS out in front In the junior circuit
and the Cubs setting a hot pace in the
Heydler division.
If history repeats itself the young
men managed by Cornelius McGillicud-
dy and the McCarthy-inspired team

League and the Cubs showing the way

In contrast, however, to last years
campaign, the Mackmen are striving
to pull away from the Yankees and

Browns were runners-up at this stage
of the race, with New York In third
place.

feated the Giants 10 TO 3. The victory
was the Cubs twelfth triumph in IA

downfall of the Giants. Thereafter the
Cubs coasted along back of Blake's con-
sistent pitching. Gabby Hartnett con-

Walter Raines played the role of lead
ing man. He made six errors at short
stop, while Charley Doff1emeyer, the
usually dependable backstop, helped
matters along (for Pullman) with four
atrocities and passed ball.
For Pullman, Booker took the BOBBY

All in all it was one hectic game and
