WORLD CHAMPIONS
 PLOTTED AT BAT DURING PAST WEEK
Giants Got Just. B Hits in s l54 Times at Bat;
 Luck Plays Part
By THEON WRIGHT United Press stan Correspondent) ]

New York, Sept. 1-(UP)- There may be an eyebrow or two lifted when it becomes generally known that the world champion New York Giants batted over the past week at an exhilerating .154 clip,
 Anyone who does not believe in the luck of the Giants is invited to contemplate these figures. The average is more than 100 points lower than that of the Chicago White Sox-and the White Sox are the worst hitting club in baseball.
 The fact is. MT Memphis Bill Terry's world champions have laid the wood to exactly 2S hits out of the aast 154 times at bat. As MT Terry himself points out, it isn't a slump-it's an epidemic. But in spite of it all, the Giants are still nearly a half dozen games ahead of the league. In St Louis and Chicago. where they have been watching the for tunes of the Giants with more than average interest, there is a ten- dency to give up hope. A team which only hits once in every eight tries--and still stays five and a half games ahead, has what it takes-whatever that is. Good FOrtune!
 Yesterday it was another case of pulling a game out of the hat. For six innings the iminent Van Lingle Mungo of Brooklyn who has no peer in either league when it comes to dusting them off at the plate. was moving the terrible Terrym@n down almost in order. Three hits had been registered, noneof them. serious. Then Terry and Jackson put two together and tied the score.
 Even it might not have been so bad. But Joe Moore bounced a queer one over third base, with so much backspin it hopped off at right angles into foul erritory. While the Dodgers were chasing it Joe took second.
 Hughie Critz promptly hit an easy roller, which Sam Leslie took on his shinbone, and while he was playing soccer with the ball, Moore came home with the winning fig- ure, 2-1.
 Dean Delivery
 Chicago succumbed to the wiles of. Dizzy Dean, who fooled the St Louis Cards in, 3-1, and boosted them into second place, alongside of Chicago. Both clubs are five and a half games behind the Giants.
 No other games were scheduled in the National loop. In the Amer ican league, New York gained a half game on the idle Tigers, beat ing Washington for the second straight.
 Red Ruffing held the Senators to six hits, famed seven, and won 3-1. Tony LazzeN did the major chore, lifting a homer into the left field balcony in the second. hustling Ben Chapman home ahead of him.
 St Louis took an .11-inning de- cision over the Chicago White Sox, 3-2. Ray Peppers long fly scored Harland Gift with the winner. A second game, scheduled yesterday, was postponed until tomorrow. No other games were slated in the American league.

GERMANY EAGER, ], TO WIN BERLIN
 OLYMPICS IN 1886

Milwaukee (UP).-More than 15,00O youths and men in Ger many are training and working with the determination that Ger many will win the 1886 Olympics to be held in Berlin, Conrad M. Jennings, Marquette University athletic director. reported upon his return from abroad. Jennings was coach of an all-star American track team that toured Germany.
 Just what huge task it was to recruit that army of athletes cannot be appreciated unless you understand the difference between sport competition here nd in Ger many" Jennings said. We have an endless procession of trained athletes coming from our schools. In Germany, as one of their their coaches told me, all the uni- versity men do is study and drink beer. Without the help of the schools, Germany must look else- where for athletes so they have great number of sport clubs.

 "The California football team will be practically the same as that of the 1884 season except for few of the boys who have graduated and couple of promising juniors. There is young fellow named Jim Carylon with whom lot of Nor thern California fans are acquaint- cd and who played fot' of football for San Mateo Junior college last year and who may do a lot more for the Golden Bears during the coming season.
 Sacramento Junior College is sending a fast backfield man ine a fellow named McRae, but aside from Carlyon and McRae 1 don't know of any others who are out standing.

Both had the opportunity of a lifetime to settle once and for all the question of Collegiate versus Professional on the gridiron. Both failed, although the All-Americans piled up a total of yardage and first downs that convinced most of those who saw the game that the school boys can at least hold their own with their mercenary bro thers.
 The largest crowd to see a sports event in the United States this year packed the great stadium in Grant Park and it is safe to say that the vast majority took their seats expecting to see the profess sionals shove the collegians about at will.
 Quite A Shock
 1t is doubtful that they were dis appointed, but certainly they were surprised, to see a group of youths gathered by popular vote from all sections of the country banded in- to a team against which the worlds champions of profession al football were helpless.
 The All-Americans stood with their backs to the wall in the sec ond period when two successful passes punched them to their own nine yard line and brought the spectators to their feet. Then Bill Hewitt, the vaunted Bruin end, fumbled a lateral pass from Gen. eronzani and Ed krause of Notre Dame recovered to end that threat. Again in the fourth period the Bears got tthe ball on their owr 45-yard line on an intercepted pass and advanced into college territory when Sisk slipped through the line for six yards. Red Grange tossed the ball to Sisk, 25 yards distant. and it was first down on the All Americans 25 yard line. But that was all. The Pros elected to try the college line and their every thrust was sm A,rcd.
 Just Missed
 The All-Americans' greatest threat came in the third period when Bill Smith, Washington end. came so close to kicking a field goal from the 40 yard line that half of the crowd had the score chalked up. Joe Laws of Iowa was the most consistent ground gainer but Mike Mukulak of Oregon made the longest run of the evening when he returned teh opening kick off 45 yards in the second half.
