CRONIN TAKES AL
SIMMONS PLACE
AS BEST BATTER

New York, July 8 - (UP) -
Young Joe Cronin. manager and
shortstop Of the Washington SEN
ators, replaced Al Simmons of the
Chicago White Sox as leader Of
the American league batsmen, but
Chuck Klein Of the Phillies con-
tinued TO lead the National swat
ters, according to figures released
today, including games played
last Thursday.
During the week Cronin boosted
his batting percentage from 1852
to 1862, while Simmons sank
from 1872 to 1858. Klen's mark
was 1860, two points less than per-
centage Of June 20.
Jimmy Foxx of the Philadelphia
Athletics leads the American homo
run procession with "a four
baggers, while Klein also tops
the National circuit in home runs
with II.
Ben Cantwell OF the Boston
Braves and Tex Carleton of st
Louis are tied for National pitch
ing honors with II victories and
three defeats each. Similarly, AL
vim Crowder Of Washington and
Lefty Grove of Philadelphia share
American fiinging honors with IL

TRIBES and HEARTS
BEST CITY LOOP
TUSSLE TOMORROW
East End and Abrigador
Teams Set for 4 P. M
Hills Meet Waterville
and BroOkIyns, Tom
mics Mix

Two of the three Sunday con-
tests carded for City Amateur
League competition at Hamilton
Park tomorrow will bring out
plenty Of rivalry and perhaps an
other overtime game, while the
third game brings together the
first and last place clubs. From the
schedule, the Tribunes who are hot
on the trail of the league leader
ship have q hard hurdle to get
over in the Sacred Hearts who arc
tied for the third spot just now.
The Tribes and Hearts Will per-
form in the 4 o'clock feature tus-
sic while the Brook1yns and
Thomas Club are billed for one Of
the 2 o'clock games, the other
showing the first place Waterville
team and the last place Washing
ton Hills as opponents.
Tribes Ambitious
Jumping Johnny Kerwin will
have to depend on his ace In the
hole, Earl Selenske to stop the
hard hitting Hearts who have been
worrying any and all opposition
that has confronted them for the
past few weeks. With Joe F'ontana
proving his worth at the third sack
and apparently at bat, Manager
Kerwin has slowly but surely built
q supporting cast for Selenske that
may pull the Tribes through the
knothole between first and second
place. With the Hills having won
but one out OF eight played 10 date,
It's doubtful II the leaders will lose
any ground by to-morrow's contest,
though surprises have not been
scarce in league play to date. Bet
ter pitching will make the Hearts
even more formidable, for 1t Will
strengthen their defense which
needs patching UP in spots, partic-
ularly from the mound.
Rivalry Deluxe
The Brooklyn and Thomas Club
game should be one worth looking
at, for aside from the natural
rivalry between the teams there IL
the situation which shows them
both in q file for third place and an
equal Of games won and lost to
date. After that eighteen inning
win last week, the Brooklyns
should be primed for another
strong effort, but with the Tom
mics anywhere near themselves, IL
will not be easy for the Bank street
boys to count the game won before
the seventh or eighth inning and
possibly later.
With watervillc having been
put In the barrel last Sunday, Man.
ager John Luigi Capuano and the
Hills believe that the stunt Is not
impossible to perform again, des-
pite the fact that the Baldwin
streeters have been playing any
thing but winning baseball this
season, their poorest in history. All
in all, an interesting trio OF games
Is on the books, and with any sort
Of baseball weather, tho usual
crowd of FIVE thousand can be
counted on for appearance. Some
| Of the leading hitters in the league
include:

First round finishes to Public

brated tomorrow afternoon an To-

eight teams scheduled for action.
One of the best games of the day
pairs the West Ends, tied for the
circuit leadership aginst the hard
hitting Motor Lines outfit, sched-
uled for p. m. at the Waterville
Park. George Crocco will umpire.
The Recreations who share the
lead with the West Ends have
the Raymond Hillies to contend
with at 2 o'clock at Fulton Park.
On paper, Earl Stewart and his
mates should come through with
another win figuring the calibre Of
both teams, but the Hillies are
capable of shock or two as they
showed last week.
A Little Short.
Monday night, league officials
and managers will meet to decide
the second round situation. Plans
to raise about $50 may be made,
including the suggestion Of q ben
eft exhibition game. The money Is
needed, according to President
Robert Kierstead, IL the eight
teams IN the league are to fntSh
out the season. Otherwise, the
last three teams in the standing
may have to withdraw from COM

battle 1t out.

clock game at Fulton Park will
show the North End Hillies and
Brooklyn Cubs as opponents. Rug
giles and Mobile will umpire the
contests. At least the results
should have a definite part In
breaking up the two way tie for
the league lead which exists at
present.
Though collections at the games
have not been any too encouraging.
the league Is not in financial
straits and will, in all probility be
in the field when the local season
coses. Right now, it's O question
of whether all eight teams will
play the second ground schedule,
a matter Of $50 being the answer.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-08


The answer may be indicated
within two weeks.
Right now the Yanks are stag
gering. Their condition is disturb
ing, not only to New York fans
but to the Yankee front ONCE. II
Manager Joe Mccarthy can't re-
vive them and boost them into a
pennant stride before July %, the
end of their homestead, they'll
certainly have little chance OF
catching the fast-stepping Wash
ington Senators on the road.
still Slipping
The Yanks slipped another halt
game yesterday by losing to De-
troit, 8 to 4. This left them three
full games behind the leading sena-
tors. 1t was their third straight
defeat and Detroit's second con-
secutive win, enabling the Tigers
to replace idle Cleveland at fifth
position.
Babe Ruth drove out his 10Th
home run in the first with a mate
aboard, but the Tigers soon came
from behind, hammering ruling.
Brennan, Pennock and Brown for
IL hits. Frasier and Hogsett held
the Yanks to five. Marvin Owen
and Ray Hayworth led the Tiger
attack, each hitting safely four
times in Ave attempts.
Chicago gained on third place
Philadelphia by crushing the Ath-
letics, to /, with three former
Athletics leading the Chisox at
tack, AL Simmons and Jimmy
Dykes made home runs and Mule
Haas collected four hits in five
tries. The Sox found Mahaffey
Peterson and Freitas for Is safe
ties, while Ed Durham held the
Mackmen to six.
They were the only American
league games played, st Louis at
Boston being re-scheduled for a
double-header tomorrow, and
Cleveland at Washington for part
Of a twin bill today.
Giants, Cards Lose
The New York Giants dropped a
10-inning decision to Chicago, to
5 but maintained their five and a
half game National league lead
over st Louis when the Cards lost
to Brooklyn, 10 to a.
The Cubs beat the Giants when
Travis Jackson fumbled Woody
English's easy grounder in the 10th
with the bases loaded and two out,
permitting Frank Demaree to come
home with the winning run. New
York got off to five-run lead in
the third, but tn eCubs came from
behind, collecting 1G hits off Par
melee, Luque, Clark and Bell, in
GLIDING Mark Koenig's homer with
two on base in the eighth.
Brooklyn trounced the slumping
Cardinals, aided by rallies of three
run0 in the first and four in the
ninth. The Dodgers made ~ hits

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, July SUPP
While 1t was highly distressing to
the gentlemen invovled, the
thumps the Messrs Max Schmeling
and Jack Sharkey received on
their respective Van Dykes sup
piled boxing with the tonic 1t has
been needing for several years.
The tonic not only breathed the
breath of life into the heavyweight
class-it affected all the divisions
down to the little fellows.
Two months ago boxing in this
town had lily In its hand. Today
1t carries a torch. IL you don't be-
lieve 1t, take a. peek at the sched-
ule for this mans town for the
next two months:
July 12-Billy Petrolle VS. the
unbeaten Dutchman, Bep Van
Klavern, Polo Grounds.
Mickey Walker for worlds light
heavyweight championship. Mad
ison Square Garden.
July SV-4DCH JGpy vs. 1Od
Brossillard for worlds middle
weight championship. Yankee
Stadium.
Sept. 13-Barney Ross vs. Tony
Canzoneri for worlds lightweight
championship. Polo Grounds.
And you may add to the list of
September starters our old friend
Jack Sharkey, for he's coming
back to the wars, his promise to
quit IL nailed by Camera forgot
ten. Nobody knows when he's re-
turning. Maybe the loss Of his
championship hurt his pride, or he
didn't find his petunia beds as at
tractive as he thought. Anyway,
he has told Jimmy Johnston of
the Garden that beginning with
September he Graves q fight n
month until he knocks aside all the
heavyweights who stand In his
path to a return match with King
Kong Camera. Just hwo Sharkey
will face first Is n mystery.
Johnston wants Schmellng. but
Max's recent marriage and the IA
karat fued between the Garden
| and Joe Jacobs may prevent a
third Max-Jack go. Sharkey made
1t clear that he didn't care who
his opponents were-that he was
ready to take on Tommy Lough-
ran, Isadore Gastanaga, Mae Baer,
King Levinsky, Steve Hamas or
IZzy the Iceman.
Johnston took time before an
nouncing Sharkey's return to crit
icize the manner In which Camera
is being handled.

II Camera couldn't lick Maloney
I'd shoot him. Then I'd move to

aggregates of 292 strokes.
Nice Lead
Shute became four UP again az
ter the 18th hole was played.
Each hooked his drive on the

played out safely. He missed q
tree-foot putt, scoring a 5 against
Woods par 4, and the latter was
only two strokes behind.
Shute was in bunker at the
14th green but ran down q nine
foot putt for a birdie four while

Wood took three shots to get
home on the 409-yard 18th and
took two puts for S, going four
strokes behind.
Shute had pars on each OF the
final three holes of the morning
round, while Wood had a birdie

was the first time since the tour
ney proper was started that Shute
did not precisely hit par for a
round.
Wood got his birdie at the 18th
by placing a beautiful chip shot
dead to the pin. Shute's second
landed in a road but he came out
well, and took two puts. Shuto
had to work for his par 4 at the
9Th, finally getting home, six feet
