RIVALS RESPECT.
M'FAYDEN

Iron Man Mahaffey. of the
Athletics; Yves Terrell. of the In
dial1s: Ad Liska. of the Griffmen.
and Stewart. OF the Browns, are
well up among tie aces Of the
new class of major league mound
operators. Of the old timers MIL
ton CASTOR, of the Red Sox. has
been called by Connie Mack the
most improved major league
pitcher this season.
There is hard working young
pitcher for the Red Sox who Is
just beginning to be rated among
the dependableS. He is Dan Mac
Fayden, whose goggles are his
home town high sign. Dan is five
years in the American League
and hitters have much respect
for this young fellow because Of
his work in the box.
Mae jumped from o high
school team to face big
league hitters and seldom has
he had the advantage Of .
hard d-hitting outfit to boost
his winning percentage. Mac
Fayden is one Of those hurl-
ers who deliver low hit games
with some regularity, having
turned in ON Monday his sec
Ond three.hit game i'm . week.
Mac is getting better as the
season advances. What pitcher
he would make for a club. with .
group of batters to hammer out q
victory for him once in a while
Heinie Wagner, manager Of the
Red Sox, has let MacFayden 60
to the hill every four days, taking
his beating from the sluggers or
holding them down.. He has
rounded into good form and with
any kind of support ought to win
q dozen games this year.
MacFayden is q thorough base
ball student. He knows every
player that he faces and tries to
get a line on all second string
men that break in. MacFayden
can't see the plate without
glasses. He has gone in for the
specs with the same care he has
for the rival hitterS, getting nom
shatterable glasses for work on
the mound. He has three pairs,
all within reaching distance in

RECORD HOMER

They are saying Of Jimmy Foxx
that the apple-cheeked farmer boy
who holds down first base for the
Athletics recently hit the longest
home run ever hit to left field at
Comiskey Park. The ball sailed
over the roof of the second deck in
left center, where no baseball has
ever sailed before. All Chicago is
still talking in aweiof that historic
belt. t
It is said to be 420 feet to that
distant roof. The ball was fully
$50 feet in the air and travelling
fast when it disappeared outside
the park. Perhaps the most re-
markable thing about the sock is
that it was bueking Q head wind
all the distance. n
The Washington times., 1930-07-28

The start Of the second series
and Harry Hall and his team
mates kept right on and have,
up D date not lost a game.
A record of nineteen straight
victories is this. The PulImanS
began their streak by taking the
last ten games Of the first Ter
minal League series. The first
six of the second series were
added, then came wins over the
New York and Philadelphia Pull
man teams, with last weeks VIC
tory over Southern Railway total
ing it up to nineteen.
"And some say we have not
the best team i'm the city," says
. Harry Hall, peppery second
baseman Of the club.
The Pullmans, for a fact, have
one of the strongest machines in
the city. Champions Of the city
series last year, they look good
to repeat this season and with
more of a vengeance than before.
II can't see how any team
is going to beat them" is the
way Bill Flester put it in q
gabfest the other day. And
Bill knows his baseball If any
one does.
The race in the Terminal
League has been a one-team af-
fair all year. The cry has been,
stop the Pullmans." But they
haven't. been stopped.
The reason for this remark
able record of the Pullmans is
the great team work displayed by
the players at all times. and the
complete cooperation with Harry
Smithson manager Of the team.
When you get everybody
working together you can't
help but win. Thus, the sue
cess of harmony walking arm
in arm.
A team must have the material,
as well as harmony, to be a COM
plete success. The Pullmans have
the material. Here's their lineup:
Radtke, first base: Hall, second
base; Colliflower, shortstop;
Booker, third base: Smithson,
left field; Trip, center field:
and Chaconas, right field: with
Fee Colliere behind the bat and
Babe Clapper, pitcher.
The Pullmans plan to go to
Chicago sometime in the near
future to engage the Chicago
Pullman representatives. A vic
tory over that team and their
winning streak will read some
thing like 80 ames-providing,
of course. they keep up their gait
in their league games in the next
two weeks.

Sible to cure a slice, and cure
it for keeps, and to do it in a
way which, at the same time.
should aid you greatly through
out your golf. My cure for a
slice, one which seldom fails in
individual instruction, is this:
In your back swing withdraw
your left hand directly toward
your right trousers pocket. In
your forward swing, move your
arms downward with the
thought of showing your right
hand directly into your right
trousers pocket. At the same
time, keep your head still and
have your attention on the
ball. This action causes the
clubhead to swing in a true
circle, or ellipse. You need add
to your swing only the action
of pulling your left arm clear
through the ball. Swing that
way and you should be able 10
forget your slice-in a hurry.
BY Long odds the most salts
flying shot in golf is the drive.
and many hold it to be the
most useful shot. Chester Hor-
toms new monograph almost
guarantees you a good drive, lt
is so simple and easy to grasp.
This fine instruction will be
sent free. Address Chester
Horton, care. this newspaper.
and enclose a stamped self-ad-
dressed envelope. Ask for the

GEORGIA BOY
IS 8-TO-5
CHOICE
BY HYPE IGOE

This noight, in deah ol Lunnon
Town, our own Billy Stribling
fights the leaning tower Of that
great city, Mister Philip Scott.
The world will not be shocked
at what Mister Philip Scott may
do for the simple reason that
Mister Philip Scott is quite apt
to do most anything.
1t is 8 to S that Philip will go
to the floor and claim piteously
that the Georgia Peach is a belt
ing of him below the Mason and
Dixon line.
That foul claiming habit
has sQuirmed its way right
into SCOTS bones and he Just
can't help complaining about
body blows.
That was proven when Jack
Sharkey's final blow at Miami
hit him full in the chest, yet
Phil made motions that indicated
that again he had been struck
low.
Tonights fight, if it turns out
to be one, affords Stribling q
chance to get back into the heavy
weight running. It is cinch that
William Lawrence Stribling is
not the worst fighter in the
world.
Jack Sharkey might decide to
retire, If he can't get Schmeling
into the ring. Jacks "a fussy,
funny fellow at times and he may
decide that luck is not his and
bow out. That being the case
who is there to carry on in the
name of the old u. S. A.
BY the same token, Philip
Suffling Scott might hit our
Willie on the button and loom
up, all over again. He will have
in his corner tonight that hustl-
ing little man, James JOY John
ston, a cunning cuss who often
picks a fight, a lost one, right
out Of the Goals to make q hero
of the gink who has been jolly
well receiving his bumps.
I doubt IL there is q man
living in this fight racket
who could have got Phil Scott
the money Little Jeems has
garnered for him.
Why, Phillip wanted to go
home and open a barber shop
just before the fight with Otto
Won Porat. It took all of Jimmy's
soothing line of CAB to convince
Phil that he ought to defer sail
ing until after the bout. Jimmy
got him a $17,500 tid-bit for that
fight.
It would have taken Phil II
years to have taken in that
much money, shave for shave, yet
he bitterly protested waiting long
enough to claim foul and gather
the money.
No telling how it will come
out. Well not have to wait until
nightfal to get the sad news one
way or the other, as there is six
hours difference in time. How
Jimmy's Phil came out win be
known here around 6 o'clock.

VINES SCORES.
OVER HUNTER !.

NEW YORK, July 28.-If the
Davis Cup committee has any no
ton of seeking new blood for
the 1881 campaign, the one
player who today invites its con-
sideration more than any other
on the American scene is Ellis
worth Vines, 18-year-old junior
from Pasadena, Calf.
The arrival of this. towering
fairhaired young player from the
Pacific coast among the tennis
elect of the country was definitely
established yesterday when he
went out on the turf of the Cres-
cent A. c. in Bay Ridge, Brook
lyn, and added Francis T. Hunter,
second in the national ranking,
to his list of victims in the met
ropolitan grass court champion
ship.
To have beaten Hunter un-
der any circumstances wOuld
have been o feather i'm the
cap of the Californian. To
have beaten Hunter at the
peak OF his game, as he was
yesterday, with his full
bIOOded fOrehand primed for
deadly execution, made the
victory all the more signifi-
cant.
But, more than that, to- have
faced deficit of two sets against
a fighter of the grim determine
ton of the Davis Cup veteran
and then gone on to exact three
successive, bitterly fought sets
from him was an accomplish
ment that only a Cochet or a
Tilden has been equal to in re-
cent years.
This was the first defeat that
Vines performed yesterday in the
final round of the tournament,
amid the plauditS Of a highly en-
thusiaStic gallery, and his victory,
which followed upon his defeat
of Frank Shields in the semi
finals, brought him to the cham
pionship as one Of the youngest
players ever to win the metro
politan crown. The score was
1-6, 4-6, 6-4, Ga, 6-1.
