NEAR
MAJOR JUMP

It won't be hard to pick the
most valuable player in the In
ternational League if Lem Solters,
the big Baltimore outfielder, con-
tinueS to bat the way he has been
going.
Delayed by a. month Of en-
forced idleness at the start Of the
season because Manager NC
Gowan of the Orioles did not
know whether Solters needed an
other year in the minors, or not,
the young player is up among
the league leaders in driving in
runs and ranks at the head Of
the batters.
If Solters is lucky enough to
come up to fast company next
season fans won't see a colorful
player such as might be imagined
from his great work this season.
The young player, whose par
entS hail from Hungary learned
to play the game in Pittsburgh
and is one of the many lads who

that city to fame in the big
leagues.
A serious-minded player, Sol
ters jokes but little. He is bear
ing down all the time and yet
pitchers are baffled at his plate
poise.
He is relaxed as he goes to bat
and the mound mechanics who
have faced him are constantly
fooled by his swing, which seems
to be that of a batter off balance.
Instead his timing is perfect and
he hits the ball with vigor and
assurance.
Ivory hunters who have trailed
Solters say he appears so indiffer-
ent with men on the sacks when
he comes to the plate that he
foils the pitchers. Cool and col

getting the old hits that mean

n T v PITCHING
RECORDS MADE

This is a record-breaking week
for pitching marks as well as high
temperatures. Sunday "Dizzy''
Dean, Of the Cardinals, shattered
a National League strikeout record
that had stood for half century.
And yesterday Carl Hubbell, Of the
New York Giants, cracked another
mark set a quarter Of a century
ago.
BY blanking the Boston Braves
in the first five innings, the long,
lean left-hander stretched his
string of consecutive scoreless in
nings to 46. This bettered the
mark of A made by Ed Reulbach
of the Cubs in 1908.
Hubbells mark may be cut to
IS innings due to technicalitieS re-
garding two relief assignments dur
ing his streak, but he is assured OF
a new league record in any event.
The American League record is Sc.
Randy Moore, handy man of
the Braves, broke Hubbells string
by scoring two runners with a
single in the sixth inning. They
scored another run off Luque in
the seventh and won 3 to /, the
Giants getting only seven hits off
Huck Belts.
The defeat left New York only
21a games in front of the Pirates.
Winning and losing Streaks fig
ured in all the league games. Pitts
burgh made it eight wins in sue
cession by handing a 9 to 3 drub-
bing to the Cardinals, who had
won six straight. The Cubs snap
ped a six-game losing streak and
regained third place by beating
Cincinnati.
Pittsburgh got off to a flying
start, chasing Bill Walker with a
five-run attack in the first inning
and continuing the bombardment
at Dazzy Vance's expense. Tony
Piet, who has banged out IS hits
in his last five games and now
ranks third among the leagues
swat-smiths, led the attack with
three hits.
Steve Swetonic, Pittsburgh's
starting pitcher, and George Wat
kins, Cardinal outfielder, were
chased for starting fight in the
seventh inning after Swetonic had
busted Leo Durocher with a bean
ball.
Pat Malone, Of the Cubs, was in
rare form against the Reds, hold
ing them to five hits and winning,
3 to /. The Bruins got only six
blows, but punched five of them
in the third inning to score all
their runs.
With West and Reynolds lead
ing the attack, Hornsby's Browns
trimmed Cleveland again, 5 to 2.
Monte Pearson, Cleveland's star
rookie from Toledo, was the vic
tim.
Other teams were idle.

The American team, led by
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, prac-
ticed on the courts where they

Moody and Helen Round, the
British star who carried the
Californian to three sets in the

in preparation for her singles
match with Betty Nuthall who
defeated her in the final Of the
Maidstone tournament the other
day after she had played in four

ready to put Miss Round to a
severe test in the opening singles
match tomorrow.
Mrs. Moody will play her first
match Immediately after Miss
Jacobs, when she opposes Peggy
Scriven, another of the British
stars and holder of the French

fhe second race worked out
as a "117 per cent book" the

Prices on the others ranged as
high as so to /, but the percent
age in favor of the bookmakers
was told in the 113 per cent
aggregate.
On the days card, out of
every hundred dollars laid down
by the whole number of players
at the track, the bookmakers held
$15.16 on the ultimate payotf.
All other things being equal, all
the races being accepted as won

better than one-SeVenth Of the

was % % per cent on every hun
dred dollars worth of play. There
have been days when the
"bookie's" cut ran over 30 per
cent, some when the percentage
ran slightly under Saturdays Is
per cent, but the average, day in
and day out, shows the solid cut
by which the maker of the odds,
on New York tracks, gets a rough
fifth of all the money played.
Win or lose, so far as favoriteS
or long shots go, the 'bookie" gets
his fifth.
What else can happen over an
extended period Of play except:
"AlI Horse Players Must Die
BrOke?"
Tomorrow the chances Of the
player to win on a race track
where pari-mutuel betting is
legalized will be discussed. It's
better there, of course, but the
percentage is just as deadly in
the end.

NAMING OFF,
BRENNAN n

BALTIMORE. Md. Aug. 3.
The Cumberland Fair Association,
which has the honor of opening
Maryland's fall racing season on
August % at Cumberland, made
a ten-strike with the turf world
when it named Edward j. Bren-
nan of this city, racing secretary.
Brennan, one Of the sport OF
kings most proficient as well as
best liked officials, has served
with much success in this State,
as we'll as in pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, Massachusetts, and Vlr-
pinia. A Square Deal for All' is
his slogan, therefore one has the
answer why so many horsemen
love to race under the genial Celt.
Reason for Success
The success Of racing in Cum
berland can be laid at Brennan's
door. He took the session, when
it was the bushiest Of affairs and
after eliminating the undesirables
started off to build up what is
one of the finest half-mile ses-
SionS in America.
Business conditions around
Cumberland are booming, there
fore it is reasonable to expect that
the forthcoming meeting at the
"Iittle Saratoga of Maryland"
which the upstate track is known
to race goers, will enjoy one OF
it's most successful sessions.
Brennan is busy working on
the book for his meeting. He
is also lining up a capable set
of officials to assist him in run
ming the meeting. He will have
j. D. Dobson. M. e. Shea, Fred
Parks. John Brennan, Will Haus
and Willie Doyle among his Of
flee crew.
Know Work
These men have been aiding
Brennan for the past five years
and know their work thoroughly
which accounts for the smooth
ness with which things are rur
off at the mountain city track
Horsemen, who intend to race
a. Cumberland should apply al
once for stalls to Race Secre
tary Edward J. Brennan, c. o.
Pimlico Race Track, Maryland.
The Cumberland plant is be-
ing overhauled by General Man
ager Harry A. Manley. The lat
ter always is On the lookout fol
the fans comfort, therefore visi'
tors to Cumberland late thi!
month are going to be well carec
for.
