GIANTS FEW POINTS
BEHIND CARDINALS
Half Game Ahead by One Way
of Figuring-AthIetics
Are Stopped.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON. JR.


~ 0STON has been a tough Gus
x toner for most of the National
Leagues clubs this season, but
the Giants have : gone right
along handing the Braves one setback
after another.
The count now stands I to for New
York, as the Giants. a bit behind in
their race with the st. Louis Cardinals,
scored two shutout victories yesterday
to regain their odd position Of being
half game ahead of the Cards by one
method of counting, but a few points
behind in the percentages. The Braves
have been held scoreless only three
times all season and the Giants have
done it each time.
Manager John McGraw teamed up
his pair Of star southpaws for the
afternoon, sending out Carl Hubbell to
take 3-to-0 victory in the first game
and Bill Walker 10 win the second, 6
to 0. Hubbell gave the Braves only two
hits, while Walker allowed eight in
banking Boston for the second time
this season.
st. Louis held its place at the top OF
the standing with some difficulty, win
ming a wi6e-open smuggling match from
Pittsburgh, IL to 8. The Pirates broke
loose in the eighth inning and threat
ened to take the game as they scored
five runs to go ahead, but the Cards
came back with six in the same frame.
The defeat dropped Pittsburgh into
sixth place, as the Phillies beat Brook
lyn, 8 TO 4, with an effective combina-
ton of the southpaw pitching OF big
Jim Elliott and the hard and timely
hitting of Buzz Arlett and Pinky Whit
ney.
Chicago's Cubs had little, trouble TAX
ing two games from Cincinnati, i'm
proving their position in fourth place
until they are only a half game behind
Boston. Bob Smith hurled the first
game, winning to 2 on an eight-hit
job, and Ed Baecht and Charley Root
divided the work in the second, grant
ing seven hits for 9-6 triumph.
The New York Yankees supplied
something Of sensation for American
League fans when they downed the
Philadelphia Athletics. 6 to 2, stopping
the winning streak Of the world cham
pions after IT straight games. Lefty
Gomez halted the AS with seven hits
while the Yanks drove Ed Rommel out
with a three-run burst in the second
inning. Babe Ruth topped of the job
with his seventh homer OF the year
while AL Simmons clouted No. just
before the finish.
Boston also ended a streak. one OF
seven straight defeats, by beating out
Washington, 10 4.
Cleveland cut loose q real attack to
down st. Louis, IL to and 4 to 2, and
got some good pitching to support it
Walter Miller held the Browns to seven
hits in the opener while Mel Harder
allowed six in the second clash AS the
Indians went into fifth place, Detroit
Tigers stayed Just ahead by beating
the Chicago White Sox, 4 to 2. George
Uhle pitched effectively and won his
own game when he finished a three
run rally with home run.

OPENS TOMORROW
Shields, Wood for U. S.,

A ROUND Of international
~ amenities greeted the
"A youthful United States and
Argentine Davis Cup teams
today as a preface to their finish
battle for the right to seek the
long absent cup abroad.
Mrs. Hoover invited the North
and South American champions
to play informally on the White
House court. Tomorrow, Friday
and Saturday they will drive at
each other in earnest to deter
mine the tennis supremacy of the
Americas.
Workmen put finishing touches on
the 1ittle-used executive court this
morning. Guests from the diplomatic
corps were to watch the play and to
see President Hoover greet the con-
testants personally.
Although the draw to determine in
dividual opponents had not been made,
it appeared probable that Frank x.
Shields Of New York, No. 2 in the
United States ranking, and Sidney B.
Wood, jr., Of New York would carry
the brunt Of the meet against Ronaldo
Boyd, Argentine No. /, and Guillermo
Robson.
Shields has been playing sparkling
tennis, overwhelming both Mexican and
Canadian opponents in the Davis Cup
matches after his jump to the runner
up place in the United States list. Wood
lost five-set decision to little Marcel
Rainville OF Montreal but came back
to defeat DR.. Jack Wright of Montreal
in straight sets. Together they de.
feated Rainville and Wright in the
doubles.
Boyd and Robson have exhibited i'm
pressive tennis since their arrival at the
Chevy Chase Club where the final
American tie Is to be played. A 40
FOUNDER, with unexpected agility, Boyd
has shown sizzling speed on both his
fore and backhand drives. Edwin
French, non-playing Argentine captain,
contends that much of the strength of
Boyd's game lies In his even harder
service.
Robson has displayed steady brand
Of play in both the fore and back courts.
His smashing has appeared deadly,
while French frequently has praised the
deceptiveness of his heavily overcut
oackhand and uhdercut forehand drives
Boyd did not join his teammates until
Saturday, having been kept from the
courts since March by the recurrence
Of q liver attack. After watching his
play since arriving here, however,
French has held him to be In excellent
shape. Even without Boyd's services
the Argentine team swept aside all
South American competition with the
average loss of little more than one
game in each Of the As sets played.
Other members of the two teams are
