MAJOR LEAGUERS
SMACK "A IN DAY
Red Sox Win After Losing
ID Straight-SeiboId Is
Stopped by Giants.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

V VARIOUS winning and losing
streaks ended in yesterdays 10
major league base ball games,
but the boys continued to drive
balls outside the confines of the parks
at an amazing rate.
Twenty-four home runs were hit in
the 10 games, two less than the mark
set in the same number of games May
%. Babe Ruth contributed his six
tenth homer and Hack Wilson hit two
to equal the Babes total.
The Boston Red Sox ended the sea-
sons longest losing streak, turning on
the New York Yankees after Ia success
sive losses to win, Z to 4. Ruth did
not hit his homer until two were out
In the ninth inning, and by that time
the game belonged to Boston. The Red
Sox completed the first triple play of
the American League season. Cincin-
natl already had given the National
League its first three-way killing.
Seibold Is Stopped.
The Giants put an end to Harry Sci
bold's great pitching performance of
having completed nine straight games
as they took a double-header from the
Boston Braves, 9 to 4 and Is to g.
Seibold started the second game and
left in the third inning as the Giants
scored IL runs in one frame. Walter
Berger got homer in each game.
Walter Stewart of the st, Louis
Browns, possessor of another of the
American Leagues best hurting records.
could not check the smuggling propensi-
ties of the Chicago White Sox to earn
his eighth victory. and lost, to 5.
The Chicago victory helped produce a
three-way. tie in games for fifth place
between these two teams and the De-
troit Tigers, defeated, to 2, by Cleve-
land. The Indians, punching hits of
George Uhle to score all their runs in
| the third inning, moved into third place
ahead of the Yankees.
Luque Wins Again.
Adolfo Luque of Brooklyn continued
to win for the Robins, scoring his fifth
straight victory at the expense of the
Phillies, 10 to 2. The Robins hit IS
times for 81 bases, five of their blows
being homers, and placed themselves
three full games ahead of their nearest
National League rivals. Chicago moved
| into second place. running its winning
streak to i've straight by trouncing the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 16 to 4. Guy Bush
pitched well and the Cubs hit better,
having Wilson'S two homers and one
by Hartnett in their IA blows.
GOou plIcnlng was the important
factor as the Cincinnati Reds sent the
St Louis Cardinals down to third place
with a double victory. The Cards got
only Is hits in the two games, losing
by scores of 5 to and 7 to /. Jake
May and Larry Benton hurled the
first game for the Reds and Benny Frey
the second Harry .Heilmann did the
heavy hitting, with SIX hits 1.-TWO
homers), for perfect day.

big guy named william Tell (the
T-Ruth) Bambino, who lived in
little village called Bronnix with his
young frau and his young son, Lou
Gehrig of Lucerne. Tell was the
best apple knocker in all the land,
and believe me it was some Swiss
movement when the big fellow
knocked one over the nearest glacier
for home run.
But Gessler had a row with the
Bambino over the latterS refusing
to bend the knee to a cuckoo clock
he had set up in the market place
as sign of his rule over the people.
Bend the elbow, yes, but the knee,
never!" roared Bambino. So Cess
Ter decided to punish him and de-
creed that he should hit an apple
of his sons head, a very dangerous
feat, especially If his son stood on
his head. But Lou Gehrig of
Lucerne was equal to the occasion
and swallowed watch just before
he was tied up to the tree. He
twitched and fidgeted so that Cess
Ter asked what was the matter.
I've got ticks" replied Lou, at
which the watch took three strikes
and popped out of LOUIS mouth.
Time up" yelled Bambino, and hit
Gessler on the head with a four
base Wallop.

Sport That Is Sport.

VOU read where Sid Roper, London
L milk wagon driver, got down from
his cart to give Bobby Jones the battle
of his life.
Later you read where Fowls, a st.
Andrews postman, took few days on
| and went to the fourth round. In an
other dispatch a veteran gardener gave
some one a warm battle. These men
were not just hitting golf ball around.
They were playing in a championship
and playing extremely well. And the
I jobs they held down were all-day or all
night and all-week jobs. 1t is along this
line that you find the 100-per-cent true
amateur and sport that is all sport.
Dear Mr.. Rice: A few days ago in
1.-THE Spotlight" I read with interest
your paragraph headed "A Sixteen Let
ter Man"
1 wonder if you have ever lizard Of
Cy Young, the greatest athlete who
ever attended Washington and Lee
University? Cy Young was also To-
letter man, winning his letter four years
in succession in foot ball, basket Iall
base ball and track. That he was a
star in all four sports is attested by
the fact that he was also captain of all
four teams. He held the all-South At
lantic sprint record of 94s in the 100
yard dash. He was all-South Atlantic
halfback for three years in foot ball
In base ball he played center field, and
was so fast that sometimes the right
and left fielders used to come In to the
infield for the third out. Cy could cover
the entire outfeld.
This is not legend, because the story
is not that old. He attended Washing
ton and Lee from 1912 to 1916. At that
time the South Atlantic Association
was composed of Georgetown, Mary
land, Washington and Lee, Virginia
Polytechnic Institute. Virginia, Virginia
Military Institute and North Carolina
State.
Young was from Charleston, w. Va.
and attended the University of Michi-
gan the first three months of his COL
lege career. At home he had been a
star and much sought after in high
school days. At Michigan he was just
another freshman. Feeling that he
was not appreciated, Cy came back to
attend a university nearer his home.
Mich1gan's loss was Washington and
Lees gain, but doubt If Michigan ever
knew anything about 1t.
Gust why" asks L. p. H, Should
Stanford and Southern California travel
$500 miles to find which university has
the best track and field team In the
United States, world or what places
have you?"
About ANY Fighter.
He may fight like a star, or fight like
a tramp,
But you can't tell which from a train
ing camp.
AS we understand the situation today
both Sharkey and Schmeling are con-
fident of winning. These few words
would be expanded into a column or
more If each admitted he was not con-
fident and expected to lose. That would
be worth headline.

Quayle and Vance, as well as Schneider,

The punishment one takes in golf is
almost entirely on the mental side, and
it is possible to suffer much more on
the mental side than it is on the phys
ical. A foot bail player may suffer
mental pain, but this is soon knocked
out of him in physical contact. But
there is nothing harder to face than
mental suffering where raw nerves are
exposed and where tension can't be re-
lieved by action. The faster and rough
err the action, the less likelihood there
Is that tension can live.
It is quite possible for competitor
to feel greater WEAKNESS after hard
golf match than after hard foot ball
game or hard fight. And all because
carry further than physical WEAKNESS.
There is a necessity for constant and
unbroken concentration in hard golf
match and this becomes more and more
burden as the weeks play moves
along.
There are times when the effort be-
comes mental torture. BY Friday or
Saturday morning 1 have seen young
stars in fine physical condition who
orange juice when rebelling nerves were
at war with the human system.
Walter Hagen probably appreciated
this more than any one else when he
made up his mind years ago to take
the game as it broke for him, to know
in advance that he would make GER
tain number of mistakes each round
and to take them for granted as they
happened along the route-all parts of
30 ~ fAA ~ he
taken for granted Hagen could finish
a hard day of golf with his nerves less
affected than any golfer ever saw
unless it was old John Ball. And that
makes a tremendous difference in a
game where pressure on the nervous
system is so heavy and continuous.
The DazZIer Returns.
DAZZY VANCE ran into his best
- base ball year back in 1924 when
he won % games, lost only 6, and struck
out 262Smen.
The Dazzler is back with all his
ancient stuff intact and he believes 1880
will be close to his best year. He doesn't
expect to sit any 262 batters in the
phantom swing, but he expects to win
more than IS ball games and that will
be something to talk about for veteran
in his thirty-eighth year.
Vance has lost but little of his early
speed. Probably the four fastest pitch
ers we're Johnson, Wood, Vance and
Grove. Johnson and Smoky Joe were
streaks of raw lightning, but Vance is
almost as fast and he has always had
fast curve that was hard to time.
He is now on his way to 1900 strike
outs and he is sure to reach that mark
this season, with over 1,400 already
packed away.
Vance is now the last of the old-time
stars In the box, with Alexander only
working occasionally.

historical outline of Babe
Ruth takes place In the early
part of the fourteenth CEN
tury in one of the cantonS OF
Switzerland. Now, as everybody
knows, there are Cantons in China
and Cantons in the Swiss Alps, the
difference being that the natives eat
mice in Canton, China, and cheese
in the cantons of Switzerland. The
cheese eaters, naturally, turned out
to be the best athletes, and to this
day the Swiss Alps are noted for the
Winter sports that go there every
Summer.
Chief among the sports who went
to Switzerland around the year 1908
was a tyrant named Rube Gessler,
who was appointed admiral of the
navies of the free cantons of Swift
zerland. Being as they are free"
said RUDE, they can't amount to
much" So he decided then and
there to ski America first, and in
stigated the national pastime of the
U. S. A. as enc of the chief sports
of Switzerland.
