lanu Startling Miracle Can Keep Flag From Yanks
Yanks Not Ready
To Claim HOnOrs
NEW YORK, August 1T

NEW YORK, August 1T
~ learned long time ago to take
nothing for granted in base
ball." said Joe Mccarthy, manager
Of the Yankees, after they had
captured two games from the De-
troit Tigers yesterday. 1t was point
ed out to New York's miracle
man that the Yanks had increased
their lead to 101s games. But Nc
Carthy, asked If he was ready to
claim the championship of the
American League, shook his head
and replied:
"You never can tell what will
happen in this uncertain game.
Why, the Pirates appeared like sure
National League winners when they
were leading by half a dozen games
three weeks ago, but all of sudden
they lost 10 in a row and now are
in a desperate grapple with the
Cubs and Dodgers.
"The Yankees have played con-
sistently all season and I see no
indication of a let-down. But I
prefer to wait until we finish our
schedule at home on Labor day,
when we will take two more shots
at the Athletics"

For time Pat and Rudy worked the
spectators into high pitch of excite

TT may not be wise to predict any
thing in connection with raSslirg,
but Mr. Herman Hickman, who ap-
pears here tomorrow, apparently is
not just another reformed college foot
ball player. Mr. Hickman may bear
watching.
Back in the days when rassling was
wrestling, DR.. Jack Roller was a sensa-
tion, not only because he could wrestle,
but because he actually graduated from
college. Today the most famous of the
ex-collegians are Jim Mcmillan and
Gus Sonnenberg But since they
crashed into the linlelight, rassling's
master minds seemed to have sort of
closed the doors to former grid stars.
That is, as far as stepping up into the
elite was concerned.
But Hickman, former All-America
from Tennessee, seems 10 be crashing
the gate. They threw him against Fred
Grobmier in Baltimore last night and
great surprise of the Oriole fandom,
rendered Skinny Fred hors de combat.
TT was a sour note Slapsie Make
i Rosenbloom sounded off at Twin
City last May with Reds Barry
The trouble was Reds was a "slapsie,"
too But next Monday Make will en-
gage Bob Goodwin, who tosses punches
and knows what it is all about.
Bob and Make met once before at
Daytona Beach. Fla. and the best
Make, who claims the light-heavy-
weight championship of the world,
could do was to earn a draw.
The bout stands out as by far the

Bush, Cub Twirler, Loses His Fear of ''Slickers,"
Now Sports Sideburns and Takes Walks in Dark
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

- HICAGO, August II P.-There
was a time when Guy Bush,
Y the mississippi Mudcat" Of
Chicago Cubs pitching fame,
feared city slickers.
But now he's city slicker himself
the kind who makes his money and
keeps it.
No grass has grown under Bush's feet
since the day he was virtually pushed
onto a train and sent to Chicago to
pitch for the Cubs.
He has become one of the busiest men
in base ball-and one of the shrewdest.
Between his work as base ball player
he runs gasoline filling station-and
in the rest of his spare time he is
scheming and planning other means of
replenishing the Bush Golfers.
Feared Gangsters.
vTIHEN a major league scout first dis
w covered the "mudcat" he went
into ecstasy. With the usual
suave speech he told Bush of all the
wonders of the big city, and Bush agreed
to go to Chicago.
But ell route he left the train, ad-
mitting later he was scared" to go to
Chicago. He had heard of gunmen and
city slickers" and would rather not go.
After long argument, however, he was
pushed on the train again and arrived
as one of the greenest-looking rockies
in years.
Then presto! He changed from an
aWe-stricken rookie to one of the flash
lest dressers in base ball. He became
the Sartorial envy of his teammates.
Now Walks in Dark.
LIE stopped looking for well-lighted
i i streets to do his walking, grew
long sideburnS and piloted high
powered sports car through the heaviest
stars of the National League.
Now, when the Cubs are in town, you
can find the ''mudcat" almost any time
at night at his filling station. AS soon
as the games are over he rushes away
to his business, and stays there until
the last car has come and gone.
Greets All Customers.
In true business fashion he greets
every customer. spins yarn or two
about base ball, gives 'em an inside
story and they always come back Re-
suit: He has one of the most prosperous
filling stations-and one of the f1ashiest
ON Chicago's North Side.
We'll. Mrs. Bush didn't raise any
foolish children" he beamed one night
when asked why he wasn't satisfied to
live on his big base ball salary like other
players.
Il know you are hero one day and
bum the next in base ball. I'm too
restless to loaf, and anyway this is the
time to make some money"
Bush is one Of the busiest pitchers
ever to wear a Cub uniform. If he had
his way he'd be pitching almost every
day. and he usually is the first man to
dash for the bullpen when his mates get
into trouble.

10 Z GAMES AHEAD
AFTER DOUBLE WIN
Pacesetters Capture Nine In
RoW-Pirates Stop Dod-
gers-Cubs Win.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

~ N wings of a nine-game
| winning streak, the New
" York Yankees have scared
into their longest Amer
lean League lead of the season
and nothing short of a miracle, it
seems, can prevent them from
capturing the flag.
A double triumph over the De-
troit Tigers yesterday boosted the
Yankees advantage to 1U1a games
over the Cleveland Indians and
Philadelphia Athletics, who were
virtually tied for second place, al
though the Indians had a Slight
edge in percentage.
Thanks to some lusty clouting by
Tony Lazzeri, Bill Dickey and Joe
Sewell, the Yankees staggered through
to win the first game, 1873, although
Danny MacFayden was driven from the
box in the eighth inning. Johnny Al
len hung up his third victory of the
Yankees current winning streak in the
nightcap, 7-3, allowing the Tigers only
six hits.
CLENN MYATT'S homer with one on
= in the fifth, enabled Cleveland to
~ beat the Athletics, 3-2, in an ex-
citing pitching duel between Mel Hard
er and George EarnShaw. Mule Haas
put the AS within one of "a tie when
he clouted a homer with one on in the
eighth, but Harder applied the brakes.
The National League program was
marked by the temporary check of
Brooklyn's high-powered Rodgers. who
fell before the Pittsburgh Pirates, 40.
This was a Scoreless duel between Lar
ry French and Bill Clark until the
eighth when the Pirates fell on Clark
for all their runs. The defeat dropped
Brooklyn to a point one and one-half
games behind the second-place Pirates.
THE Chicago Cubs retained their one
i game lead over Pittsburgh by win
ming a sensational game from the
Boston Braves, 4-3. The Braves drove
Lon Warneke from the box in the
eighth when they scored all their runs,
but the Cubs came back with four in
the ninth to win. Dutch Brandt had
allowed the Cubs only two hits up to
that frame, but doubles by Herman,
English and Cuyler drove him to cover.
His successor, Ben Cantwell, was solved
for the winning runs.
The st. Louis Cardinals beat the Phil
lies, 3-2, as Paul Derringer had a slight
edge over Flint Rhem in a. pitchers
duel. Big Fred Fitzsimmons granted
only four hits as the New York Giants
nosed out Cincinnati, 81.

Two prisoners, one a lifer, who
escaped from the state prison
Wednesday night by tunneling into
the yard of the hospital for the in
sane and going over the wall with
a pipe ladder, left no trail behind
them.
Clarence Henry, sentenced to life
from ST. Joseph county in 1929 for
kidnapping and robbing Richard M.
johnson, president of the South
Bend State bank, of $4,000, and
Fred Ten Eyck, sentenced to five
years for auto banditry in Greene
county in September, 1890, were
missed shortly after 10 p. m.
The men used the same plan
which failed for two desperadoes
Christmas eve. They were repairing
sewer pipe in a tunnel, and dug to
a point directly beneath the hos
pital yard
No guard is kept there at night,
and they were able to hoist their
ladder, made of pipes used in their
plumbing work, and drop from the
wall.
The Dunes highway to Chicago
runs directly by the prison, and au-
thorities believed the men obtained
a ride to that city.
One prison employee was dismissed
today for negligence, but officials
would not give out his name.
