DODGERS SHOW
LOTS OF FIGHT
ON BALL FIELD

NEW YORK, June Is. U.P)-The
Brooklyn Dodgers are showing
plenty Of fighting spirit this season,
despite the fact that their new
pilot, Max Carey, is known as the
"Y. NJ. c. A. manager"
The Flatbushers INDUCED in an
old fashioned free for all with the
Cubs during Chicagos last visit to
Brooklyn, and at Boston Thursday
a bitter dispute between Carey
and Umpire George Barr resulted
in Carey being banished from the
field.
Hostilities with the umpires were
resumed yesterday when the Dodg-
erS blanked the Braves, 3 to 0. Um-
pjre Moran waved Brooklyns right
fielder, Danny Taylor, safe when
he tried to stretch a single in the
opening inning. and then called
him out. Carey protested vehe-
mently, and Johnny Frederick was
banished by Moran for shouting
something uncomplimentary
Pitcher Van Mungo. who had
made some uncomplimentary re-
marks to Umpire Barr during the
fracas on Thursday, was notified
yesterday that his little speech had
cost him $25.
Although Carey was a divinity
student before he became one of
the greatest base stealers in the
major league, it is understood he
does not object to a little fighting
in righteous cause.
Hollis Thurston pitched yester-
days shutout for the Dodgers. He
was supported by five Brooklyn
double plays and a home run by
Hack Wilson. Their victory en-
abled them to supplant the New
York Giants in fifth place in the
National League.
Bill Terrys Giants dropped to
sixth position when they took an
II to 6 beating from the revitalized
Philadelphia Phillies.
Lloyd Waner's home run in the
seventh inning broke a 8 all tie
and enabled the Pittsburgh Pirates
to nose cut Cincinnatis Reds, q to

ALEXANDER

Jimmy Foxx, of the Athletics,
is getting most of the headline
play in the American League this
season. The home runs that
drop off the bat of the Athletics
first baseman have been making
plenty of fan talk.
Up at Boston the 1owly Red
Sox, who have been making some
trouble for visiting teams, are
not envious of Jimmy Foxx. for
they are getting some heavy stick
work these days from Babe Alex
ander, the slugger who has done
more to put the Sox in the fight
ing than any other individual OBJ
tanned in the various trades that
club has put through this season.
Batting away down in the zoos
early this season, Alexander was
let out by the Tigers, but since
he has been stationed at first for
the Red Sox Alexander has been
hitting so consistently that he
soon may be the recognized league
leader in hitting.
Other Boston players. noting
the heavy hitting of the big first
sacker, have been meeting the
ball more timely. Alexander'S
drives have been playing a tattoo
on the Boston fences and the
slugger is one Of the most popu-
lar players on the team.

HUNTINGTON, N. Y, July 20.
"Why all the worrying about
our Davis Cup chances"
Gregory s. Mangin, of Newark
N. j., eleventh ranking player Of
the country, is talking, and mas
much as, he is less than a fort
night removed from an extensive
European trip, which included
the usual sojourn at Wimbledon,
he is listened to with respect by
the thirty-one other tennis stars
brought together here by the Cres-
cent Athletic Hamilton Club for
its first annual invitation tourna-
ment.
Germany should be easy for
Vines and the other boys" con-
tinued the youthful expert
who had Davis Cup hopes of his
own month ago, only to have
them Squelched by Sidney Wood
at the All-England champion
ships.
"VOn Cramm is too erratic
to worry either Of Americas
singles men, and If Vines is
on his game, he'll make short
shrift Of Prem, too.
"And you can throw that
Wimbledon defeat of Wilmer
Allison and John Van Ryn out
of the window. They'll be a
lot better team at Anteuil be-
cause of that upset."
Questioned about Cochet's de-
feat in the all-England tourna-
ment, and the chances the
United States has of successfully
storming the French citadel in
the challenge round, Mangin con.
tinued in an optimistic vein.
When pinned down to a definite
favorite, however he admitted
France should be on the long
end of 6 to S odds.
Nevertheless, he thinks the
United States has a better chance
to regain the holy grail of tennis
this year than in any previous
summer since France captured
the Davis Cup at Germantown.
Mangin plays second-round
match this afternoon with Martin
Buxby, the youthful Texan who
knocked Vines off down in
Houston last spring.
The field here is so strong that
everyone of the eight second
round matches promised interest
ing action. Fritz Mercur shouldn't
prove over easy for top seeded
Cliff Sutter, Gil Hall had a
tough match on with Joe Cough
lin, Stanford ace; Bryan Grant
had his work cut out putting
GEM McCauliff out Of the tour
nament, and Dick Murphy loomed
as a possible conqueror of Davey
Jones, despite the latter's fine
win at Longwood last week.

'SPEER THROWS

Frank Speer threw DR.. Wilson

card of matches at Boiling Field

For a while it looked like the
lighter, speedier and pluckier
M. D. would come off first best,
but all hopes faded for him when
Speer remembered that if you
choke a human being long enough
he will soon be utterly helpless.
Speer, at first, applied a head
lock which swiftly changed to a
strangle-hold when the referee
wasn't looking. Toward the end
of the bout Speer didn't make
any pretences. He applied a wise
like strangle hold on the doctor
which had the doctors tongue
out a foot. Completely bewlld-
cred the doctor was an easy prey
to a body slam.
George Mcleod found that
George Manich could be even
rougher and nastier than he, but
he managed to stay for the 80

Father of Country

You know Jake, we owe this
to the memory of George Wash
ington who was something of
a baseball fan himself. In
fact, am of the belief that if
he hadn't gone in for the mill
tary and statecraft he would
have become a professional ball
player.
Does not history state that
he used to devote his idle mo-
ments to pitching silver dol
lars, or were they half dollars,
across the Potomac, and they
tell me he had fast break
ing curve that was a lu lu.
YEA. it is too bad about
Ruth, what with Dickey al
ready on the sidelines for hav-
ing scoped Reynolds on the
chin.
I do hope Gehrig doesn't
turn his ankle or that Lazzeri's
taxicab doesn't get in an acci-
dent because that would leave
the Yankees practically help
less and there would be no
race at all.

Berger Dutch s. Sprinter; Reaches Los Ang
RATED At TOP
OFEUROPE'S
DASHMEN

LOS ANGELES, July 20.-The
restless feet Of Chris Berger, of
Holland, foremost challenger to
the sprint supremacy Of the
United States, tcSSy beat out an
ominous warning to Metcalf,
Tolan and Simpson.
The wiry Dutchman is the first
of the European speed stars to
reach Los Angeles for the Olympic
games, which open July 80, and
his presence served to focus
attention on the 100 and 220
meter sprints-the most spark
ling events of the track and field
program.
Others Coming
Berger will be followed the lat
ter part Of the week by Page, of
England, and Kornig and Jonath,
of Germany, completing the list
of European sprinters Of the first
rank. Berger holds decisive
victories over both Kornig and
Jonath.
"He never has been in better
shape than right now" said the
Netherlands track coach, J. H.
E. v. D.. Putte, after watching
Berger practice a few starts.
"He's as fast as there. is in
Europe, and we are expecting
big things Of him. He beat
KOrnig by eight meters in Am
sterdam this spring. He's going
to be hard to beat next month"
Berger's times this year are:
los for the 100 meters and :21.1
for the 200 meters-both of
which are faster than Metcalf's
winning times in the final Ameri-
can trials at Palo Alto.
AS might be expected, the
sprints have attracted the heaviest
entry list of any events in the
games. Americas three best, and
Berger and the Europeans, must
look to Canada, South America,
South Africa, Japan, and possibly
even China, for their rivals.
Champ Injured
The abilities of the defending
Olympic champion, Percy Will
hams, Of Canada, are an un-
known quantity. Injuries have
dimmed the razor edge of his
splendid speed, and undermined
his confidence in himself. But
Canada is counting on him, to-
gether with John Fitzpatrick,
who placed at Amsterdam four
years ago.
From South Africa has come
Joubert, preceded by an amazing
account Of his records. Argentina
offers Juan Pima and Carlos Lutti
as potential Olympic champions,
and Japan has named Ammo,
Sasaki and Nishi in the sprints.
In addition, the single athlete
who represents China's 100000
600 population in the games of
the tenth Olympiad is a sprinter
-Cheng-Chu Liu. His ability is
absolutely unknown.

are punched, together with the
way things are happening to
the Yankee players, almost any
thing night come out of this
American League race, and
that is what the league needs,
a race, not a walk-away.
You see Jake. the wheels OF
Justice grind slowly but surely,
their wonders to perform. How
ever, you can't complain for
you've had your breaks, includ-
ing Ruth's.
Too, Jake, you don't need a
world series in New York be-
cause soon we are to have beer.
according to what can make
of the Republican and Demo
cratic platforms, and is that
right down your alley? 1t isn't
only right down your alley, but
it's right up to your loading
platform.
Well, Jake, give the Babe our
regards down here in washing
ton, and say, Jake, why don't
you send him on a trip around
the world to recuperate.
Now, Jake, watch out for
Earl Combs. Dog days will
soon be here and one can't be
too careful about ones diet,
particularly when one has to
cavort around in the sun a
couple of hours every afternoon.
Keep the boys off ferris
wheels, roller coasters and dips.
