MACKS AND YANKS
SOUNDLY BUMPED
Mound City Club Wins Eight
of Nine Games-Robins
Upset Cardinals.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

A FTER playing nearly half
~ season without Showir<
1 \ any sign of getting any
where in the American
League standing, the st. Louis
Browns seem to have nominated
themselves as the giant killers of
the circuit, If nothing else. The
Browns Skidded badly after the
first week Of the campaign, drop
ping into a nine-game losing
streak and never recovered
from it.
Yet in the last week the Browns have
electrified the fans by winning eight
out of nine games. They finished
second nine-game string of defeats
just after they returned from the East,
then turned around and won three from
the New York Yankees and four out of
five from the champion Philadelphia
Athletics.
ST. Louis took a tight game from
Boston in the series opener yesterday.
on to a two-run lead in the first in
ming, they were tied in the seventh
when Jack Rothrock hit a homer, but
came back in the same inning to win
their fifth straight game, to 2.
Two Games Rained Out.
In the only other American League
game yesterday, Chicago beat Wash
ington, 4 to 8. The defeat dropped
Washington to ~ games behind the
Philadelphia Athletics, who were kept
idle by rain at Detroit. The weather
also stopped New York and Cleveland
A pair of upSets provided the feature
Of the National Leagues day. The
Brooklyn Robins handed the league
leading st. Louis Cardinals sound
trouncing, 16 to S, while the Boston
Braves made it two straight over Chi
cago by 7-to-3 count.
The Robins started Of with eight
runs in the first inning against Bur-
leigh Grimes and never stopped hitting
They clouted four home runs, five
doubles and a triple. The Braves also
made quick start, pounding Pat Ma
lone from the mound with four runs in
the flrst. All OF Chicago's runs came
in the sixth, when the Cubs did not
make hit, but Seibold walked three.
Walker Deals Goose Eggs.
The New York Giants regained the
game they lost to st. Louis the day
before by beating the Cincinnati Reds,
2 to 0. Bill Walker held the Reds to
four hits and won his duel with Jack
Ogden who gave six, when Chick Fullis,
playing his first full game at second
base, clouted home run in the third
inning.
The Phillies outdid Brooklyn in hit
ting, collecting 18 blows of Pittsburgh
pitching. but could not equal their run
total. Philadelphia won by a I3-to-2
count. giving the Pirates their thir-
teenth defeat in Is games.

n YEW YORK, June 27.-Robert
N Stevens, shortstop for Newark
in the International League for
two years, has been taken on
by the Philadelphia Nationals. The
Phils got an improving player. Pos
sibly they have taken him on at exactly
the right time in his career and at
very good time for themselves-now
that they ere clouting the ball all
over the landscape and getting better
pitching.
Stevens is an interesting player and
there is also an interesting story con-
nected with him. In 1929 he played
short for Newark and he did some as
tonishing things now and then. Scouts
went to look him over. They said he
couldn't bat, but thought he might be
a good fielder. They didn't say any,
thing about whether he might improve
or not. In fact, most of them passed
him by because of little defects which
often conceal a coming high-claSS
player.
Stevens played with Newark again in
1880 and again the scouts gathered
where he played. Some of them thought
better of him than they had before.
DuI WHICH, O1lC SCOuI 4OuIlQ L1ldI o1lOI4lcI
scout had not taken him because of
some fancied defect. that scout also dis
covered the same failing.
Stevens batted .273 in 1929, but his
fielding average was the lowest in the
league for shortstops-but the scouts
didn't notice that he went after every
thing in sight. In 1880 he moved into
first division in shortstops, and he was
still covering an acre of ground. He
batted better, too, reaching an even
800.
Stevens again started with Newark
this year, and he has played his part
in that teams rise to first place. New
ark wanted catcher, so Philadelphia
has turned over Rensa, who will catch
better as he gets more work, and also
gave Willingham, an infielder.
Perhaps the Phillies intend to put
Stevens at short and Bartell at second,
and it may be that they will expert
ment the other way around. If Phila-
delphia can get a little more certainty
in the infield, the team will climb and
the National League race will become
still tighter.
