BOSTON PLAYER
BADLY INJURED
IN SUNDAY GAME

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. U.P)-Bill
McKechnie, manager of the Bos-
ton Braves, is the latest victim of
misfortune in the 1882 National
league pennant race-a tight, mock
ing struggle which has boosted and
then blasted the hopes of more club
pilots than ever before.
Just when Bills pennant hopes
were brightest, First Baseman Art
Shires retired and then Red Worth
ington, slugging left fielder, re-
ceived a broken ankle.
While the loss of "What-a-Man"
Shires may not be felt much by
the Braves, Worthingtons absence
certainly will. The latter had been
hitting around .304 and playing de-
pendable ball.
Worthington broke his ankle yes
terday sliding into third base in
the nightcap of the double-header
which the Braves took from the
leading Pirates, to l and 7 to 6.
This double victory enabled the
Braves to replace the idle Phillies
in third position in the race, and
it extended the Pirates losing
streak to nine straight, leaving
them only one and one-half games
ahead of the runner-up Chicago
Cubs.
The Cubs split a twin bill with
the Giants. Chicago won the open
er, 8 to 2, but dropped the second
game, to 1. Lon Warreke reg
istered his 18th victory in the first
game. and Waite Hoyt stopped the
Cubs with eight hits in the night
cap.
Dodgers Lose
Max Carey's Brooklyn Dodgers
ended their winning streak at six
straight when they lost the night
cap of a twin bill to the Cincin-
natl Reds, to 5, after winning the
first, to l.
They were the only games sched-
uled in the National circuit.
Cleveland beat Washington twice
7 to and to 2. Burnett homered
for Cleveland in the operec, and
his teammate, Earl Averiil, did
likewise in the nightcap.
The AS dropped into third place
by splitting double-header with
the White Sox. Ted Lyons gave
the Chisox a to l win in the
opener over Lefty Grove, and the
AS took the second game, l to O.
when Tony Freitas allowed only
three hits.
Johnny. Stones home run in the
seventh gave Detroit a 3 to l win
over the Boston Red Sox, and the
New York Yankees continued their
victory march py trouncing the ST.
Louis Browns twice, IL to and
8 to 4. Frank Crosetti homered in
each game, and Babe Ruth MADE
his 31st four-bagger of the year in
the opener.

'SPORTSPARADE'
OFFERS VARIETY
In TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY M'LEMOKE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The Ma
tional league race has reached a
state of such magnificent goofiness
that anyone bold enough to name
winner, even with the season
two-thirds run, is liable to be
thrown into the hoosegow on n va
riety of charges, not the least of
which would be weakness in the
top floor.
Even SO, the Brooklyn Robins
will out-gallop the field down the
stretch. Why the Robins? Well,
this is a goofy race, a very goofy
race. And the Robins are goofy
lot, a very goofy lot. Besides, who
else would you pick? Outside Of
the Giants and Cards, who are
destined to get nowhere at very
rugged pace, all the other clubs
have had their chance and blown
1t.
For a while 1t looked as if the
Braves and Reds might make a
run for the flag, but as soon as
the going got a little tough they
folded up like contortionist with
cramps. Then the Cubs went out
in front, but they, too, went into
a nose dive. At that point the Pi-
rates, who hadn't been given a
look-in, steamed away. Steamed
SO far ahead, in fact, that two
weeks ago the experts were hand
ing them the flag.
Well, you know what happened
to them. The "Phutile Phill.es"
banged the daylights out of 'em,
and then sent 'em on to Brooklyn
where the Reverend Carey's boys
finished the job. The Pirates are
still up there on top, but it's just
a matter of time until they get off.
And wnen they: do, who's going
to take their place? 1t will be the
Robins or the Phillies. The Phillies
are three-ply, stomped down

terrors in that saucepan jokingly
called Baker Bowl, but on the road
where the infielders catch pop flies
instead of watching them go for
home runs, they amt so hot.
The recent collapse of the Pi-
rates must have bean a sad, sad
blow to Manager Gibson. The same
thing happened to him before. Ir
1921 the Pirates came east late i'll
the year leading by seven full
games. They looked so much like
winners that Owner Barney Drey-
fuss ordered carload OF lumber
with which to build temporary
world series stands. That lumber
eventually was used for chicken
coops out in Missouri.

not abandoned hope of getting Charles

himself as a go-between for the
kidnapers.
All three were in Norfolk, pursuing a
watchful-waiting policy. while police,
who express skepticism about that angle
aof the search, went on with the endless
task of checking and rechecking leads.
New Call Awaited.
Curtis has announced thrice that he
has had contact with the person he
believes to be acting for the kidnapers
and that he was assured the baby was
well. Today he was awaiting a call for
another secret rendezvous. Admiral
