TANKS MUST KEEP WINNING SAYS JOE;
 FOXX 30 HOMERS
Cubs Move Up on Pirates While Braves Also Win Double-header

New York, July 1s.-(UP)- The American league race has developed into u mad pursuit" with any one of four teams likely to pass the leading New York Yankees if they slip, according to Joe Mccarthy, manager of the, Tanks. Z,
 we can't stop winning for a minute if we're goingsto take the pennant," Mccarthy explained.
 "It wouldn't be so bad if we had only one team after us. You could figure that one team might lose a few games too. But when you've got four chasing you, and ailsplay- ing fop-notch ball, it's different .. You can be sure that Cleveland, Philadelphia, Washington or De- troit will shoot past if we sl9cken up."s
 Marse Joe said Cleveland ap- peared the Tanks most formidable opponent at present. although Washington was making 9 great spurt and Philadelphia was hitting well and getting plenty of runs.
 Sure, l believe we'll win the pennant," he concluded, We've the best team in the league But if anything happens to us, it'll be just too bad"
 Nothing happened to the Tanks yesterday and they won two games from the Chicago White Sox, to 3, in 12 innings, and to z. Charley Rulings single, with the bases loaded in the eighth sent m the winning run in the nightcap, and RaLe Rutl1,s single in the opener drove in Earl Combs with the win ,,i1e taIlv in the 18th. Lou Gehrig .smacked out his Fist homer in the opener.
 Cleveland matched the Tanks pace by taking both ends of twin bill from Boston's last place Red Sox. 5 to 4 and to 6. the latter, in il innings. The Indians now have won 12 out of the last IA games on the road.
 The Washintgon Senators made it four straight over the St Louis Browns 9 to 2, thereby registering their ninth consecutive victory.
 Jimmy Foxx drove out home-runs No 37 and 38 to aid the Athletics 4-to-S victory over the Detroit Tig- CTS.
 Tn the National league, the run sner-up Chicago Cubs gained a full game on the leading Pittsburg Pirates by taking two contests from the New York Giants 3 to 1 and 8 to 2, wfi1e the Pirates were idle.
 Boston's Braves kept on the Cubs trail by downing the tail-end Cincinnati Reds twice, to 3 and 3 to 1, while Brooklyn and the St Louis Cardinals split twin bill, the Cards taking the opener to 2, end the Brooklyns the nightcap, to 5. ,,
 They were the only games sched- 1lled

by paying it themselves--was cred. ited here today with being the straw that broke the camels back New Idea
 The collapse, announced after g meeting of the directors in New York Sunday, came 24 hours be. fore Gene Martin, president of the , New Haven club, was to have in: stituted a daring experiment 1T drastically lowered prices in an eff. fort to get out the fans in suffi, cient numbers to put the sport or a paying basis. Martin felt the whole problem of poor attendance was traceabfe directly to the com paratively high admission charges set by league agreement. He plan- ned to break away today with 3 new scale of prices, 55 cents being top price.
 But Martin, who had made the league possible this season by or- ganizing a club here on shoe string, was too late. The Brook lyn Dodgers turned back their Hartford franchise and the New York Giants relinquished their Bridgeport franchise. Fred J. Voos of Bridgeport resigned as chairman of the league executive committee and Dave Driscoll of Hartford resigned as a member of the committee.
 The remaining clubs elected Samuel Aronowitz of Albany as chairman, indicating an effort might be made to revive the league next year. Cities represented in the league were Springfield, Mass, Hartford, New Haven and Bridge port, Conn, Albany, N. Y., Allen town, Pa, and Richmond and Nor- folk, Va.

JUMPS EAR CHEWED, FAN STABBED AT
 KIDS BALL GAME
Free for All in Central Park Puts Two in HOs= pital-COps Charge

New York, July 1S-The cry Of "Kill the umpire!" nearly became more than a figure of speech yes- terday afternoon when free-for- all flight ended the game between the Ascension Parish team of Wash ington Heights and the Panama Cubs of Harlem, in the North Mea- down of Central Park and some one tried to bit the umpire, Walter Carroll to death.
 At least, when the smoke of bat tlc had cleared and the players had emulated tho Arabs by silently slip ping away upon the arrival of po- lice emergency squad and Six police radioa cars, Carroll was found near the home plate, ruefully nursing a badly chewed ear and bemoaning the life of an umpire. His only con- solation was that his assailant had not gotten closer to his throat.
 A second man, who gave his name as Walter Fleming, 20 years old, of 132 West Ninetieth street and said he was merely specta- tor. was found on the field with a stab wound in the side. Both were treated at Reconstruction hospital and sent to their homes.
 How It Started
 < The fight began during the eigh- tn inning, while the Panama Cubs. negro team were at bat. A Cub was expectantly perched on third base and the score stod 10 to l in favor of the Ascension Parishion- CTS.
 AS the zealous Cubs swung at the ball with all his might, the man on third started for home. Spectators later averred that the Anscenion catcher attempted to block the plate. In any event, the immediate result was a passage of fisticuffs between the catcher and the run per.
 Carroll, who took his umpiring seriously, stepped in and the free for-all was on. Cubs tunbled onto the field and outfielders came dash ing in with their arL. s swinging. Bats. shin-guards and catchers' masks flew through the air.
 Some one in the crowd turned in a police alarm and soon the forces of the law were converging upon the field. The shrieking sirens were sufficient warming however. and when the first radio car drew up in a cloud of dust. the last small wa- terboy was streaking across left field as fast as his legs would carry him. ftf

better toward the end of the sea- son whereupon Tommy would pitch superbly against the Cubs in the city series. Maybe Mir Thomas has only been spoofing around the last few years. And maybe not.
 It's a Hot League
 The Cincinnati nine's plunge from third place to the cellar shows clearly what a tight race the National league is having. Cin- cinnati dropped ten in a row to the Pirates, Cardinals. Giants and Phils. but at the end of the streak still were only eight games out of first place.
 In the American league there is approximately that margin be- tween the first and second place clubs.
 Incidentally, five of tbose ten straight defeats the Reds suffered were by a margin of one run. Dustlng 'Em off
 The bad blood between the Cubs and Dodgers really arose from the alleged craving of Cub pitchers to dust off" Brooklyn batsmen. It started last season.
 The Cubs piled up a 1920 lead against Dazzy Vance. Charley Root, Cub pitcher, finding time heavy on his hands, entertained himself by heaving the ball at the Dodger batsmen for the fun of seeing them dodge.
 Pat Malone was charged with the same tactics in Q recent se- ries. He dusted off Lopez so well that the Brooklyn catcher took q base on balls. And Jackie May, who relieved Malone a short time later. hit Mickey Finn with hts first pitched ball.

 Japan's zeal is better under stood when it is explained that the United States Olympic com mittee has been digging for months in the effort to raise s350, 900 to finance 400 athletes.
