For years st Louis has been
noted for the short tenure of its

managers of the Cardinals haven't
remained long enough to get their
grips completely unpacked.
Hornsby ruled a year and a half,
won a pennant and departed; Bob
Farrell took charge in 1927; Bill
McKechnie was chief during 1928

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
New York, July 13-If, three
months ago, somebody had upped
and told you that the New York
Giants pennant chances, IL any. de-
pended upon one Blondy Ryan
staying healthy, you would have
been justified in having your in
formant placed under lock and key
on the ground that anyone suf-
fering from hallucinations offered
a menace to the citizentry.
Three months ago Blondy OF
Holy Cross was as unknown as the
18th vice-president Of the National
City bank and when Bill Terry
threw him in there at shortstop
Giants fans prayed that Travis
Jackson's trick knee would soon
permit him to get in the lineup.
No, they're praying just the re-
verse; that the spike wound Ryan
got on July 2, will quit giving him
the miseries SO he can get In there
and keep the Giants from falling
through the cellar.
Our. staff mathematician, who
seldom is more than three games
wrong, says that when Ryan went
out Of the lineup the Giants were
six and half games in front, and
that today they're less than half
of that. having blown seven of the
last nine..
To look at Ryan's batting aver
age Is to wonder why he means so
much to. the team. His percentage
at the time Joe Medwick of the
Cards gave him the steel, was .194.
Now .194, makes perfectly>swell

sorry hitting. It's afield that Blondy
makes himself so important. Fast
as a streak, steady as Gibraltar,
and blessed with an arm like a
rifle, 1t was Ryan who made the in
field tight as kettle drum. If
you don't believe 1t just take a
look in the error column of recent
Giant games. with Ryan out, the
Giants have been kicking that. ball
like Minnie did the gong.
Four errors In this game, three In

one. spoiled top pitching efforts
and cost the young men of Man
haitian games they had in their
hip pockets.
The Giants aren't the only team
to be made by a shortstop this
season. Their arch rivals for the
lead right now, the st Louis Cardi-
nails, were advancing nowhere at
a magnificent pace until Gabby
Street brought Lippy Leo Durocher
from Cincinnati. With Durocher
out there in the shortfeld Pepper
Martin began playing whale Of
a third base, frankie Frisch a
hot-cha second. and as a result the
Redbirds found their wings and be-
gan to soar. Durocher Is cut from
the same cloth as Ryan. The Lippy

son in the House Of David league
II they gave him four strikes,
but he can cover more ground
and cover 1t efficiently, than a
jackrabbit with floating power.
With Lippy at short, the st Louis
infeld changed from a sieve to q
bucket overnight.

The 10000 fans at the Polo
grounds roared their disapproval
when DR. Joseph Sheridan. the box
ing commissions official physician,
halted the bout at the end of the
fourth round because of a re-
opened cash over Van Klaveren's
right eye. Tho bout was sched-
uied for 10 rounds.
Sudden Ending
The young Dutchman, tagged
with his first defeat after pound
ing his way up from poverty
through 1877 bouts to the shadow
Of the title. leaped from his cor
ner in rage. He tried to make
Petrolle start fighting again. A
policeman interviewed.
Van Klaveren was leading two
rounds to one when the fight was
stopped, according to the United
Press score sheet. Bep took the
first and fourth; Petrolle the Sec
ond and the third was even.
The Hollander entered the ring
at 145h pounds with a patch over
a newly healed cut above his right
eye. Petrolle, strong and fast
at his natural fighting weight of
LA pounds, started after Bep at
the first gong but Van Klaveren
met him halfway and they wal
loped each other about the ring
furiously, with the Dutchman hav-
ing the edge in the exchanges.
Billy knocked the patch off in the
second round and the eye trickled
blood. He opened the cash again
in the third round, after which
DIR Sheridan examined the cut, but
permitted the fourth round to
start. The patch came off again
in this session. and the physician
ordered the bout stopped. Boxing
writer's at the ringside thought the
eye looked no worse at the end of
fourth than at the end of the third.
It was an excellent, slam bang bat
tie while 1t lasted. The Aram Ath-
letic club; which promoted the
bout, was negotiating for the win
ner to meet McLarnin in title
