The rookie, Tex Carleton, a
hurler with plenty of stuff but
little control, pitched a master
piece against the Giants, allow
ing only two measly singles and
winning, to O. What was more
remarkable, the wild Texan did
not issue a single pass. 1t was
his first victory of the year and
an unexpected help to the st.
Louis pitching staff.
The veteran, Sunny Jim Bot
tomley, was sent back to his old
place at first base, replacing
Ripper Collins, who has been in
the throes Of a batting slump.
All Sunny Jim did was to hit two
runs and a single, driving in
four runs for the champions.
Almost as brilliant as Carle-
tons performance was that of
Johnny Allen, young right-hander
of the Yankees, in holding the
White Sox to three hits and win
ming a 1-to-0 duel from old Sam
Jones, who seems to do his best
hurting against the New Workers.
Two passes and a hit by Chap
man produced the lone score in
the first inning.
Yanks increase Lead
The Yanks increased their lead
in the American League race to
7R games, as the Athletics got
no better than an even break in
a double bill with the Browns.
Roy Mahaffey lost the first game
3 to 2, when he dropped Foxx's
throw to first base in the tenth
inning. The AS won the night
cap, 6 to 3, with Earnshow pitch
and Jimmy Foxx hitting his
twenty-sixth homer of the sea-
son with two on base the Browns
pulled a triple play in the
seventh inning when Haas lined
to Melillo with runners on first
and second.
Changing managers failed to
help the Boston Red Sox, who
lost both ends of a double bill
to Cleveland, to and 6 to 3.
Clint Brown, Cleveland hurler.

cap by hitting a homer with two
on base in the eighth.

rally that gave Pittsburgh a 2-to-1
win over Brooklyn. Heinie Meme
was the winning hurler.
Silas Johnson pitched the Reds
to a 5-to-O triumph over Boston,
yielding only five hits. Bob Asby,
Cincinnati catcher, was presented
with a check for one grand by
friends in New England and be-
came so flustered that he forgot
to touch second base after max
ing a hit in the eighth inning
and was called out. Earlier in
the game he got a homer.

TURNER States
GALA PROGRAM

Promoter Joe Turner can get
along without the aid of Jack
Curley and Toots Mondt, thank
you.
Local fans were dubious about
Turner offering stellar attrac-
tions when he broke the chains
that had shackled him to the
New York bosses and announced
that he would promote indie
pendently.
However, these fans are now
convinced that Turner can ar
range shows that would prove
highly entertaining to his patrons.
His offering for Thursday is one
of extraordinary caliber and one
that is expected to be we'll sup
ported by the fans.
One change that should strike
a popular fancy with the fans
is the free admission to women
for this Thursday night, despite
the fact that the crowd pleasing
Jimmy Londos appears in the
feature match with Fred Grob-
mier. Previously, women we're
asked to pay the regular admiS-
sion price whenever the out
standing heavyweight champion
ship claimant appeared here.
