NEW YORK, July 4. (U.R)-John-
ny Vergez, New York Giants third
baseman who struck the most i'm
poltant blow in yesterdays major
league play, is making the most
impressive comeback of the season.
His success in the tield and at
bat is a tribute to Manager Bill
Terry's Judgment of ability. Terry
kept Vcrgez on the squad this seas
on against the wishes of most New
York fans, following his 1882 slump.
Terry figured Johnny's trouble
was mental, and he was right. Ver-
gez' baby boy died during the 1882
training season and because of this
Johnny's wife was on the verge OF
a nervous breakdown most of the
summer.
The chap from Alameda, Calf,
was in the game out his mind was
elsewhere. His fielding was so poor
and his batting so weak that he
was replaced by Gilbert English
But this season, Johnny snapped
back into form, became a sparkplug
in the Giants excellent infield and
is batting about .290.
He came through heroically yes
terday With two strikes against
him ir the ninth inning, he landed
on one of Tex Cartoons best de-
liveries and drove the ball into the
left field stands for the home run
that gave New York a to win
over st. Louis. This blow enabled
the Giants to maintain their three
game National lead over the soar
ing Chicago Cubs, and it dropped
the Cardinals from third to fourth
place.
Chicago extended its winning
streak to eight straight by trounc-
ing Brooklyn, a to /, behind Lon
Warneke's mastery pitching. The
Cubs collected II hits off Walter
Beck, including Manager Charley
Grimms three singles. Pittsburgh
replaced st. Louis at third position
by downing Boston, to 3.

The PhlllieS again rose out of the
cellar by beating Cincinnati, 4 TO 3,

FARBER BEATS
FLY CHAMP ION

NEW YORK, July ID, U.P)-LeW
Farber of New York registered a
notable boxing upset last night by
winning the decision over Midget
Wolgast of Philadelphia, generally
recognized as world flyweight cham
pion in non-title 10-round bout
at Fugazy Bowl.
Farber evened his score with the
champion, to whom he recently
dropped a disputed decision. Last
night, the New York boy received
the vote of one judge and the ref
cree, the other judge balloting for
Wolgast. The decision was popu-
lar with the 5000 fans.
Stabbing Farber repeatedly with
fast left that did little damage,
Wolgast took an early lead, but
Farber landed a smashing right
hook to the kidney in the third
that slowed up WolgaSt. Thereaf-
ter Farber took the aggressive.
Wolgast weighed 1l61s pounds,
four and half over the 112 pound
limit, and Farber scaled 116

FANS SHOULD
GIVE PLAYERS
FAIR BREAK

Ell CentrO's night baseball
has always been clean. 1t
must be kept clean and the
league officials insist it will
be kept clean, even if it is nee
eSsary to bar from the field,
a small group of fans who
have been making nuisances
of themselves the past few
nights back of third base.
Night baseball is not being
provided for any individual
or any particular group. 1t is
for all the people who wish
to attend, including women
and children. 1t is the finest
entertainment that has been
provided for the people, par
ticularly during a period when
they could afford no other re-
Taxation.
The good sportsmanship that
has been shown by players
and spectators, is one of the
institutions outstanding attri-
buteS. II cannot be permit
ted to be changed.
No player, spectator, or any
one else, will object 10 good,
hard, partisan roofing. That
is what makes the sport. Ev-
en- good natured "razzing' of
a player will be taken as part
of the game. But directing in
sulting and vile remarks
toward any player is not root
ing. 1t is not good sportsman
ship.
A pitcher is not a yellow
cur" because he Intentionally
walks a man. He is only fol-
lowing cut the orders he has
received. He might personally
prefer to pitch to the batter
and attempt to outsmart him.
but he has to be a good sport
and do as he is told, not as he
wishes. Fans should certainly
be equally good sports and
not insult him.
No kick or whine has
been made to this paper by
any player or official of the
league. The undesirable con-
ditions which have been ex-
isting back of third base have
been brought to our attention
by fans who want the sport kept
clean. and who resent personal
attacks on the fellows who
give of their time and skill
without any financial reward.
to provide entertainment for
the people.
We would like to believe
that the offenders are really
good sports; that they have
just been getting a little more
excited than they ought and
that they can give every play
er as good a break as they
would want themselves if they
we're out there performing be-
fore the public.
Why not be true sports, cut
cut the insults, and give the
players hand instead of
starting something that is GER
tain to wreck the game if it
continues?

RECORD TIED
BY DEMAGG|O
BY GEORGE f. HELNTER
United Press Staff Correspondent


SAN FRANCISCO, July Is. -
Dead Pam Joe DeMaggio. 49,
year-old sensation of Pacific Coast
League baseball today stood on the
brink of real fame as he calmly
prepared to break a hitting record
that has remained unthreatened for
Is years.
He hit safely in his 49th con-
Secutive game yesterday to tie the
1915 record of Jack Ness of Oak
land. A hit tonight will break that
record, and Young Joe was con-
fident he would get it.
Not only that, but he intends to
go right on hitting in every game,
so long as pitchers toss the ball
within his reach.
Outwardly the young San Fran
cisco right fielder playing his first
season is organized baseball, eX-
hibited no nervousness as he con-
/ templated tonight S game. He
knocked a home run and two sin
giles in the game with Los Angeles
yesterday and tied the league rec
ord.
Asked how he does it. he replied;
"Oh, just get up there and hit
it,"
And his bashful smile forestallS
too much questioning. Joe dislikes
to talk. He likes to hit. Likes
baseball and is doing an exception
ally good job despite the fact he
has not learned all the fine points
of the game.
Since DeMaggio began his hit
ting streak on May %, he has been
at bat 20l times and has made 81
hits, including IA doubles, six tri-
pies, and II home runs, giving him
a batting average of AT. His av-
erage for the season is .377.
He does not know why or how
he hits so steadily. But the eX-
perts point to his heavy wrists, calm
demeanor and clear eyes, and de-
clare his timing is nearly perfect.
He is tall, lanky youth weighing
10 When he fills out, he will be
quite a husky lad.
Some Hits Lucky
Until a couple of weeks ago, there
was doubt that he would equal the
league record. Some of his hits
were lucky The ball would strike
his bat as he swung, and he would
pop a bingle over the infield. Then
lie got his timing perfected and
began hitting smoothly and natur-
ally. Now, he is considered one of
the most natural young sluggers
ever seen on the coast.
Tonight will be DeMaggio night
at Seals stadium. North Beach
the italian section of San Fran
cisco-will turn out enmasse to
honor the youth whose baseball fu-
ture seems to be assured.
DeMaggio. second youngest in a
family of nine, was born in San
Francisco and began his baseball
in sandlot leagues. He was devel-
| oped in the Seals spring baseball
! school under the direction of Mic
key Shader, after he had played
with two sandlot clubs directed by
| the Seals and Missions.
In about two years, experts agree,
he will be ripe for big time base
ball, provided his hitting ability
continues to improve as he develops
physically.

The great American ball game between all stars of the two major leagues not only attracted vide spread interest and sowed the seed lof a novelty that may lead to some far-reaching changes in schedule making for 1854, but it proved just one thing, from the competitive standpoint.
 It simply demonstrated that the one and only George Herman Ruth is still the greatest snowman of them all, player whose ability to rise to the heights at spotlight mo- ments is unmatched by any other athlete over period of two de- cades. And We have known that right along.
 There can't even be much sting for my friends of the National league in knowing that it took one of the Babes mighty blows, off Little Bill Hallahan, to decide the outcome of game bringing to- gether the best players of the rival big leagues.
 They are well used to being buff feted around by the Yankee slug ger. The Giants, the Pirates, the Cardinals and the Cubs have known what it means to irritate the great man or to have him aroused at critical moments of world series play in the last dozen years.
 National leaguers, from Presi- dent John Arnold Heydler down to the batboy, concede the Babe is the one man they can't stop so long as he can trundle himself up to the batting box Their only SOL ace is that he can't last forever, although his mere appearance in the park in future moments when his playing career is ended may tend to strike fear into the rival camp,n .isia rynsti .45s goo -' Relieves MOnotony

 Junge held the sMoose in check in the fifth but they lambasted him hard in the sixth, tying the count with four runs off the same number of hits and an error They took a one-run lead in the sev- enth on a double followed by a single The Vets came back to knot the count in the first of the eighth, but it was futile proceed ing.
 In the eighth the Moose drove Junge off the mound and clinched the game for the last time Bill Schmitz opened it with two bagger. After Fritz flew out to left, Grummett singled, Collins trip led, Killewich doubled, scoring Bill, Stan and Collins. Manning then replaced Junge. Jack Schmitzs double scored Killewich for the seventeenth and final score.

and hide-bound major club owner, it must have been apparent that the all-star game was a stimulant, likewise proof that big league fan dom is keen to have some depar-
 lures in the old order.
 Perhaps a series of mid-season games between such all-star line
 ups would help relieve the monot- ony that so often develops in the |pennant races.
 Perhaps the "break' could be
 better effected by adopting one of
 the several suggestions now under
 consideration for changing the schedules of the two leagues, either to provide a split" season such as some of the minor leagues have adopted, or to conduct round-
 robin playoff program similar to that now popular in big league hockey. There has been a further pro- lposal that inter-league games be scheduled during the regular sea son, the results to count in thl standings in each race, and thus laffording the opportunity for clubs like the Yankees and Giants, tht
