 Don't you ever think this little sawed-off guy, who learned his baseball down Tuscaloosa way on the red clay diamond of the Uni- versity of Alabama, hasn't done a lot toward putting the Ruppert rifles way out there in front. For he has. More than his share. in fact. When the season opened, Joey was pretty we'll obscured by all the talk about Crosetti and Saltzgaver, the Tanks pair of $50,. 900 infield recruits.
 But the season hadn't gone to first base, so to speak, before Joey. and not Crosetti, was out there do- ing the .third-basing for Mccarthy. Not only is he fielding like he never flelded before; he is poping that ball with vigor that must amaze even Joey. himself. He's got nine or ten home runs now, which is almost as many as he got during all hIs ten years with Cleveland.
 When you remmeber how long he's been around. and what q steady pounding he's taken since the first day he broke into the majors, seweIl's great play this year is made all the more remark able. And remember too, that tn 1881 Cleveland. thinking him ready for the wet wash. let him so.

ST JOES NOSE OUT
 EAST BINDERS IN CATHOLIC GAME

One game out of five scheduled contests in the Catholic Parish league contests last night was close enough to be called a. con- test, the, St Joseph entry winning at 6 to decision over the boys from Sts Peter and Paul parish at Ham. ilton Park. Ike Kern held the winners to six hits but lost, the game, while the lads from the east end scored eight safeties but only five runs. Prisavage for the win. ners, and Kern, J.

Devito, Piazza and Mo- bile hit we'll for the Italian com bine, getting most of the eleven hits off Ned Farley. while Eagan's two out of three was the losers best stickman. Guarini batted only once for the Lourdes, and got one hit--a home run.

PLUNGE INTO EASTERN TRIP
 TO INCREASE LEAD
Heavy Hitting and Good Steady Pitching Keep. ing Corsairs on Top Haas Beat Gomez

New York, July 26.-CUP)-The Pittsburg Pirates have come swag- gering into the east. to carve out lengthy National league lead at the expense of coastal teams.
 Their rivals, the Chicago Cubs, will be playing on eastern fields simultaneously with the Pirates. But George Gibson's Corsairs are playing better ball than the Cubs. New York, Brooklyn and the Phillies should prove comparative ly easy prey for the Pirates. but Boston may offer some resistance.
 Only in the field are the Pirates weak. Latest figures show that they are at the bottom of the. list in club fielding with a percentage of .963.
 They have a fine array of slug gers, headed by Paul Waner, the leagues leading batsman, and they have seven dependable pitchers. headed by Steve Swetonic, the leagues outstanding hurler.
 Pittsburg now has lead of four and one-half games over Chicago. but if the Pirates maintain the same clip displayed in the last week, that lead may be doubled before they return to Pittsburg on August II. They start the eastern invasion today with four-game series against the New York Giants, while the Cubs open up against the Braves at Boston.
 Mule" Kicked
 Only one game was played in the majors yesterday but that of- fered a genuine thrill when George Mule" Haas, former world series hero, blasted out a home run in the ninth to give the Philadelphia Athletics an 8-to-7 victory over the mighty Yankees.
 Haas was substituting for Rog Cramer, who broke his collarbone chasing a fly in the sixth inning and the blow was the more re- niarkable because it was made off of Senor Lefty Gomez's choice of- ferings. with Bishop on.
 This wallop slapped Gomez with his fifth defeat of the season. Il chopped the Tanks lead down to nine and one-half games over the idle Cleveland Indians. Babe Ruth drove in two Yankee runs with . single.
 Detroit's doubler header at st Louis was washed out.

SCHAAF CLOSES STRONG TO WIN
 FROM .PAULINO

New York, July 26--(U. P.) - Ernie Schaaf of Boston came from behind last night, to win a 15-round decision over rugged Pauline Uz- cudun of Spain, thereby busting Pauline from Madison Square Gar den's heavyweight elimination ser ies.
 A stron. finish after a slow start won Schaaf the verdict in the first bout of the series at the Garden $ new Long Island bowl. 2
 Whipped badly in the first nine rounds, the fair-haired Bostonian rallied and was pounding the vet eran Basque almost off his feet in the final round.
 Pauline never has been knocked down in more than 24O fights. but his record came near being shat tered in the fifteenth as Ernie bat tered him about the ring. Uzcudun held on to finish standing up.
 It was a slow, uninteresting fight and the 20,00O spectators voiced their disapproval by .booing lust fly during almost every round. The crowd was strong for Pauline.
 Pauline was hadly bruised up. at the finish and he had cut above his right ear. His nose and mouth were bleeding freely. Schaaf suf- fered a black eye and a lump on his cheek. 4&
 The ringside consensus gave Schaaf six rounds, Pauline five, and four even. It also was agreed that neither displayed championship possibilities.
 Schaaf weighed 210 pounds; Paul. limo 19S 3-4.

Philadelphia, July 26 - Babe Ruth delivered a pinch-single that scored two runs in the eighth in- ming yesterday and put the Tanks ahead, and Lot Gehrig trumped 1t by sailing his twenty-fourth homer of the season over the wall in right center, but a homer by Mule Haas with one on base and one out in the ninth finally won the game for Philadelphia, 8 to q.
 Gehrig's homer made the score [ to 4, but the rally eliminated Herb Pennock, and Manager Me- Carthy could not find a competent relief pitcher to; defend the lead.

TO-DAY's SPORT PARADE

put together a record for consecu- tive games played which never has been equaled by any player in the uniform of any one team. For more than HOO games, he took the field without a break.
 In 1880. when Cleveland was playing at Boston, Sewell developed a fever of 102 degrees. He had the good sense to stay in bed. And so the Indians took their place in the field without Sewell for the first time since 1920.
 It was during his long stay at Cleveland that the Titus titan es- abolished his fame as the hardest baseball player of all time to strike out. During the ten years he was with Cleveland. Joey whiffed just 99 times. When you remember that many players strike out 100 times in one season, Sewell's bat ting eye becomes all the more amazing. He struck out but four times in 155 games in 1925, a rec ord that will stand a lot of beating.
 So get up back there in the hall. will va, and give off a cheer for Joey. Washed up in 1890. he's get ting ready to take shot at the world series in 1892,

Now let's take up timing" the
 most important feature of the golf stroke. It is the coordination of all parts of the body to produce q smooth. rhythmic swing so that the ciubhead comes into the ball at the
 proper angle and at the proper speed desired for the stroke.
 To obtain good timing the stroke must be as near perfect as is humanly possible to attain. In fact, it must be clock-like in it's mecha1ical regularity. Therefore, faults must first be corrected.
 One of the causes Of bad tsm- ing is hitting too soon. 1t Is an error common in all golfers, chronic, lapse in the case of the expert. but an unfailing habit of the dub. believe that of ail play CTS who score % or over. co out Of every 100 iit too soon. Many who score better and haye decent -iook- ing form fail to phiy Ca even lower zcnres for the same raascn.
