Johnny August, former Spring field Eastern league moundsman, held the St Francis Xavier nine to four hits at Hamilton Park yester- day afternoon as the St Raphael nine of Bridgeport, Holy Name league champions, defeated the local Parish league champs, to 1, in the second game of their inter- city series.

 Locals Outllit
 Saturday afternoon at Seaside Park, Bridgeport, the Italian boys bowed before the slants of Johnny Mulhern, losing to 2. Although outhit, seven to five. the locals made the most of five base on balls which Lefty" TeruzZi allow ed. three of them figuring in the scoring.
 Errors Costly
 Mulhern should have had a shutout but for two errors. In the fifth Goat" Reilly mussed up Dolega's grouhder. 1zzo dropped a Texas 1eaguer in front of Pat Slat- tery but "Sheik" Dorio. former Central high star, famed. Teruzzi grounded to Wall who threw to second, contemplating double, but the ball struck Izzo, allowing Dolega to score before Reilly re- covered the ball. In the ninth with one out, Dolega popped Texas leaguer over Walls head, just in- side the foul line, the ball rolling foul beyond the ropes. Marty Moriarty, figuring the ground rules would hold him at second, was slow fielding the leather and Dolego continued to third where Morarity begged to Tommy Moran who was unable to see the ball with the binding sun.
 What An Arm!
 Patty Slattery turned in the best play of the day. In the opening inning. Pettiti tripled to deep left. Burlant drove long fly to Stat tery who begged the pellet ala Bob Meusel to Jackie Mahaney who nailed the bespectacled cente~field- CT on very close play.

KACEYS BREEZE
 IN FOR PUBLIC PARKS B. B. TITLE

By a margin of ten runs, Harry Lynch's Thomaston Kacey base ball team proved it was the best in the Public Parks League this season. Yesterday afternoon, the Kaceys knocked over the challeng- ing Waterville Cfescents to the tune of 16 to 6. winding up the sea son with the title and only three losses out of 16 games, while Bob Kiersted's Recreations finished in runner-up position with 12 wins and four losses.
 Nothing To It
 1 Steady scoring from the first in- ming on gave the kaceys an easy win over the Crescents yesterday. Punches of three and four runs in the third, sixth, seventh and eighth innings put the game on ice early, Waterville's best effort being a three run splurge in the eighth. The ,Clocktown boys nicked Ryan and Kraft for 12 hits, from which they counted 16 runs. helped by plenty of juggling and poor pitch- ing in the, tight spots. .Brammer with 4 hits out of four tries, in- cluding a three-bagger and home run was the super stick man of the game.

TWO MORE WINS
 AND CUBS ARE
 TN" WITH TANKS

New York. Sept 19-(U. P) - The Pittsburg Pirates are still in the National League pennant race, but the first-place Chicago Cubs need only more victories to squeeze them out.
 Two triumphs over the New York Giants yesterday let the Pir- ates advance half a game on the Cubs. However, they are six games behind Chicago.
 The Cubs nosed out the tail-end Cincinnati Reds, to ,. when Hemsley doubled in the fifteenth inning to send Moore home with the winning run.
 The Pirates tallied seven runs in the first two innings to beat the Giants, to 4, in the opener. and they took the nightcap 6 to 3, when Leon Chagnon limited New York to seven hits.
 Going Down
 Brooklyn's second place chances were virtually wiped out when they dropped to l decision to the Phillies. Boston's Braves and the St Louis Cardinals split a twin bill. A two-run rally in the ninth gave the Braves the opener, to 2, but Dizzy Dean pitched the Cards to a 5 to ? win in the nightcap.
 In the American League. the Philadelphia Athletics strengthen cd their hold on second place by taking both ends of doubie-he CT from the Chicago White Sox. 4 to 2 and [ to 4. Jimmy Foxx drove out his 53rd home run in the open CT.

 black eyes during Art Shires' play ing days with the White Sox a few years ago, turned Dickey's steps toward the big leagues. Blackburns spotted Bill playing semi-pro ball in Little Rock, where Lena was managing the Southern League team. This was in 1925, and year later bill launched his career at Muskogee ,, in the Western Association.
 His steps took him to Minneap- olis. back to Little Rock and then to Jackson in the Cotton States loop. The Tanks bought him in 1927, optioned him to Little Rock in 1928 and recalled him later the same year. He rode the bench dur ing the 1928 world series between the Yankees and the Cardinals. Dickey's first ambition was to catch more than 100 games in his first year. He made that easily in 1929, with 13O games. He worked 109 in 1880 and 130 again last season. Over the three years, he maintained batting average around the .330 mark. Neither Mickey Cochrane nor Virgil Davis has matched his stickwork.
 The affair with Reynolds places Dickey in the light of bad-tem- pered fellow. He isn't that at all. He's quiet, reserved, conscientious and bashfu1. Of course, the at- tack on the Washington outfielder was inexcusable. There's just no way to explain it. 6
 But did you know that during his long suspension, Dickey had to have medical care for three ribs pulled loose from his chest bone? This injury was the result of either his collision with Rey- holds, or a, similar one with Roy Johnson in which Dickey was knocked unconscious the day be- fore

 school where he conducted his classes in the three R's. Almost by accident, the Winchester, Ky. semi-pro team hired him to play shortstop on a promise of $10 a game for the season. That created Earls first misgiving about school teaching as a career.
 When a coal company at High Splint offered him $40 a month for playing baseball and carpenter ing little on the side, he knew the life of pedagogue was not for him. From that time forward it was a series of quick steps into the majors.
 Combs and Win BalIou, who once pitched for the Senators and the Browns and now Is perform ing in the Coast League, were members of the same Harlan, Ky, independent team. Cap Neal, busi- ness manager of the Louisville Colonels on personal scouting trip, offered each contract. Bal lou asked for a $1,000 bonus to sign. Combs asked for pen and ink.
 His .344 batting average with the Colonels in 1882 and .380 in 1923 was enough to convince Yankee owners here was star. They laid s5O,00O on the line and Combs packed up for New York.
 He broke his leg sliding into the plate in 1924. but that only post poned his starring activities one year. From 1925 to the present time he has clicked. He has q major league batting average of .331, a world series average of .341 and has averaged 12 stolen bases year since 1925.
 There isn't more pleasant smile in the big leagues than Combs. 1,
