TINE Boston Braves, a team
Of opportunists, today had
i whitfield the New York
Giants Lead to six games
and threatened to shave still more
OF before the National League
leaders clash in a crucial series
beginning next Thursday.
Wally Berger's homerun bat was muf-
fed yesterday for the first time in
three days, but the Braves got seven
hit pitching from Ed Brandt and took
advantage Of Bill Hallahan's wildness
and Pepper Martins error to beat the
st. Louis Cardinals again, 4-3, and
hang up their nineteenth victory IN
23 games.
Hallahan walked four men In the
first inning and the Braves scored two
runs with the aid Of an infiefd out,
while Martins error put Rabbit Mar
awhile In position to score in the sec
ond. Their final run In the fifth was
earned and decisive. Joe Medwick
drove in all the Cardinal counters with
q home run and double. The defeat
dropped the Cards into fifth place.
Braves Get Respite. E
THE schedule gave the Braves q
day of rest today, but tomorrow
they finish their series with the
Cardinals and then entertain the Gin
cinnati Reds for four days before
clashing with the Giants six times in
four days. The Giants held idle again
by rain, were to meet Pittsburgh In
double bills today and tomorrow before
opening a series with the Cardinals
with two games Sunday.
The Chicago Cubs moved within one
game Of second place with double
victory over the Phillies. Behind Guy
Bushs three-hit pitching they won
the opener, to o, and then slugged
out a 9-to-6 decision in the nightcap.

Harmsworth Trophy Challenger

4 LGONAC, Mich, August 25.-Hu-
~ bert Scott-Paines Miss Britain III
was the talk Of the Algonac Boat
wells today.
Granted only an outside chance by
speed-boat enthusiasts to win the
Harmsworth trophy from Gar Wood and
his speedy Miss America K, the revo-
lutionary craft from England won many
adherents yesterday, when Scott Paine
sent it sweeping over the waters of
Lake st. Clair at speed unoficially
estimated at between 80 and 95 miles
an hour.
Veteran Harmsworth observers who
have watched the trial runs of Kaye
Don and Betty Carstairs, challengerS of
other years, were frankly admitting to-
day that no challenger for the coveted
trophy ever had given such an i'm
posing show as that put ON by the
British sportsman.
The Miss Britain III, they said, was
particularly impressive On the turns,
Negotiating the sharpest angles without
difficulty.
Scott-Paine, although reporting that
his boat performed beautifully" re-
fused to reveal what average speed he
attained. He did remark, however, that
the Miss Britain III was turning about
$50 revolutions per minute slower yes
terday than she did on her trial runs
in England.

BROWNS MAY CALL
ON N0'LEARY'SLUC
Man Who Has Been With Ten
Champs, and SisIer, Due
to Aid Hornsby.

HICAGO, August 25.-It is
being told around that
~ Rogers Hornsby will have
Charlie OLeary at his
right hand when he starts LASH
ing the st. Louis Browns out Of
eighth place next Spring. The
story is probably true, for when
Hornsby managed the Chicago
Cubs, O'Leary was his third base
traffic cop and when Rogers was
fired by the Bruins, little Charlie
drew his walking papers soon
after.
The comings and going Of the ordi-
nary major league coach are Of little
importance, but OLeary is somewhat
above the run-of-mine coaches. He
yells only for winners, and II the
Browns get him they will have q ira
ditional winner knocking grounders
during the fielding practice and guiding
runners to the plate.
OLeary has been with 10
championship teams, ~ an
active player and Is coach.
His share Of the worlds series
swag has been more than some
players have earned during their
entire careers.
As q shortstop he played with the
Detroit Tigers when they won the
American League pennant in 1907-08-09.
Then, after many ups and downs in
the minor leagues, he was called back
to the big show as aide de camp to
Miller Higgins when the wee man be-
came leader Of the New York Yankees.
As Coach OF the Yankees he
shared in the tDorld series cut sir
times and also dreiD doiDn share
1Dith the Chicago Cubs last year.
Luck sticks close to the old veteran,
who Is valuable to any manager because
Of his loyalty, ability to smooth vexa-
tious problems that arise among players
and keen knowledge Of the game.
Knowing that, Hornsby probably will
have O'Leary with him next Summer.
May Also Sign Sisler.
TT also Is rumored that Horrsby's
other assistant will be George Sisler.
There would be some pretty senti-
ment In Sisters return to the Browns,
and they tell me the one-time great star
needs the job.
It was With the Browns that
Sisler became one Of the greatest
