caught one Of George Murray's fast

Again. in the fifth, he slapped one

sufficient to win the ball game. The
best he could do in two other at
tempts was a single and double.

WORMS TURN
FREQUENTLY
Wright Aids in Defeating
Former Pirate
Mates
By HUGH S. FULLERTON. JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer

"A student OF psychology might
well find material for research IN
the mysterious something which
makes baseball players who have
been traded from 4 club TO an
other do their best against their
former mates. This phenomenon has
been remarkably evident IN this
seasons games and all the more
noticeable because Of numerous re-
cent trades.
The New York Giants, now COM
posed TO a considerable extent OF
former Cincinnati players, dispersed
one great feat after another as they
swept a three-game series with the
Reds. Lacking the perfect combin-
alton Of having an ey-New York
pitcher opposed TO them, the Giants
didn't do their best in this line as
they won the final game yesterday,
2 TO 4. But Hughey CritZ, known as
a light hitter before he came TO
New York, upheld the tradition by
hitting a single and a home run
and driving in two runs.
Revenge
Glenn Wright. whom the Pitts
burgh Pirates sent 10 Brooklyn IN
exchange for Jess Petty two seasons
ago, returned TO action against his
old team yesterday and was instru-
mental in giving the Robins a s 10
) victory. Wright helped to drive
Petty from the mound with a heavy
batting attack that gave Brooklyn
a good lead, then played the key
position in a fast and close double
play that ended the game when the
Pirates seemed sure TO tie the score.
Rolly Hemsley. second victim OF
the twin killing. and Jewel Ems and
Max Carey, Pittsburgh manager and
coach, put up such a violent pro-
test on Umpire Ted McGrew's deci-
sion, which deprived Hemsley of the
tying run. that the Ebbets Field
police took a hand and escorted the
arbiter off the field.
The Chicago Cubs got along very
we'll without two former Boston
ians, Hornsby and Bell, as they
wound up their series against the
Braves with a ! to z victory. 1t was
the succession for the National
League champions. Hack Wilson's
nth home run was the best OF
Chicago's eleven hits. Philadelphia
had Homer No. IL from the bat Of
Chuck Klein 10 aid in a ! to 4
triumph over the slumping St.
Louis Cardinals.
Rally Wins
The 81 IcriS DreSertat NJ
the American League, the Browns
had better luck with a ninth inning
rally. Going into the ninth four
runs behind the Philadelphia
Athletics. they put on an uprising
that called Jack Quinn into action
as relief pitcher for the third sue
cessive day, scored five runs ano
won the game. 6 to 5.
Detroit's Tigers started their sccr-
ing early TO keep the Washington
Senator'S a game behind the Athlst-
les. They put over four runs off San,
Jones In the second inning and wor
by a 6 to 2 count. Cleveland, start

The cne-sided triumph left the
Indians only three games behind
Washington and improved their
lead BY half a game over the New
York Yankees. who were stopped in
Chicago By a heavy rain after only
two innings had been played and
the score was tied at one-all.

SPEAKING CT bowling, II. de
Eustaquio. noted Liberian author

teed to improve your game:
1-STRIKE EVERY THROW.
WHILE YOU MAY NOT THINK
so. THIS IS IMPORTANT. NEG
LECT OF THIS SIMPLE LITTLE
RULE WILL COST YOU 20 CENTS
II YOU ARE PLAYING WITH
MILLER, FRED BALL, SIMON CE-
LAVA OR SOME OTHER OF THE
BOYS.
Keep out Of the alleys.
Otherwise you will soon find your
cef cashing a check. A couple Of
alleys in 4 tight game has been
known 70 bring on a stroke of
apo-lexy.
3.-About curves: When you side
arm one into the alley. you should
have thrown the opposite curve.
Bear this in mind and you will
never 60 in the alley.
NEVER SHOOT A FELLOW
WHO IS BROKE-IT'S A KNOWN
FACT, PROVEN BY STATISTICS,
THAT he CAN'T BE BEATEN.
5.-Use plenty OF body-English
after you have thrown the ball. This
helps a lot when the ball is head
ed for the alley.
tHint TO prospective grooms-Take
your ito be" TO the bowling alley
and find out how good her aim is.

HARLINGEN, June 6-Another

middleweight wrestling title away
from Gus Kallio in the ring here
Monday night, according TO Pro-
moter Ernie Stephens.
Walter Stratton. a middleweight
and considered one Of the best. +
matched for an eight-round feature
bout with the Flying Finn, according
to Stephens.
This man Stratton is considered
every inch a contender for the title.
being an aggressive. strong person
and one who THINKS he has u chance
with the speed and science Of the
champion.
Stephens IS making an effort to
bring all middleweights to the arena
this week. He has brought heavy
weights the last month or SO and
now Is switching 70 the lighter but
faster divisions.
The fans will see less rough stuff
and more wrestling when the mid
dleweights begin their ear pulling
on the canvas square under the
flood-lights. Most of these middle
weights know more about the science
OF wrestling than the bigger beefs
who rely on weight and rough tao
tics. The little fellows have to know
how or they get their bones twisted
out OF shape.
Rallio IS expected 10 find a real
match IN Stratton. Stratton told
Stephens he was anxious TO try for
the title and would put forth his
very best efforts to uncrown the
Finn. He will have to put forth his
best efforts to unthrone Kallio. ac-
cording TO the fans who watched the
Finn toss George Saur last week.

But he's through parachute jumping. Why?
Well, principally because even parachute jump

TT was in Miami, Fla, in 1923, that Bert
White made his first jump, and that was,
you might say, unprecedented.
There was an air circus giving show and
scheduled parachute jump. Walking over to
the men selling rides and apparently in charge
White said:
I'D like to make parachute jump" just
like that. He didn't know a parachute from
battleship, but it looked exciting. Il might
have been jumping with a bale of gunny Sacks
for all knew he remarks.
Presto! The air circus manager grabbed the
opportunity. Probably, White explains, the
scheduled jumper knew something about the
chute. Anyway, Bert was hustled into Jenny
rear cockpit and sent aloft
The chute was of the type known as "at-
tached." That is the jumper wore only the
harness. The pack itself was attached to the
rear of wing strut. At the pilots signal, the
jumper heaved himself overheard and his

Was he afraid? I asked him the question
quite bluntly
IF had been afraid, wouldn't have done
It," laconically commented White. 1T was all
over so fast I didn't exactly know what hap

the chute worked"
