GIANTS AND CARDS
LOCKED IN BATTLE
Ruth HomerS With Corners
Crowded to End Slump.
No. 22 for Johnson.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,

Associated PreSS sports writer.
TIME current crucial" series
between the Giants and
Cardinals today offered
u the third-place club of
the National League, the Chi
cago Cubs, the finest sort of OPP
portunity to get into the middle
of the race for the lead.
The Giants protected their place
at the top yesterday when they smash
ed the Cards down into 9-to-7 defeat
IN one decisive inning, but three more
games were left of the New York-St.
Louis scrap and almost anything could
happen. While Bill Terry's team was
winning one game the Cubs took two
8 to 0, in an artificial" double head
er and moved into virtual tie with
st. Louis, just three games behind the
league leaders.
Some husky stick work in the fifth
inning brought the Giants their tri-
umph. Trailing, So. at the start of
that frame, after Fred Fitzsimmons
had been knocked out, they batted
clear around, drove Tex Carleton and
Jim Lindsey to cover, and scored six
runs before Bill HaIlahan got them
out,
Pat Malone and Bud Timing each
pitched seven-hit game for Chicago
against the Dodgers, and the Cubs
backed them up with home runs to
win easily,

This leaves three invaders of out
standing merit against the field-and,
in golf, the field is a large and healthy
handicap.
Another strong American entry will
be Macdonald Smith, still chasing a
25-year hoodoo. Mac always is some
thing to be reckoned with and this
may be his year. He still is one OF
the great golfers of the world.
Sarazen will be the hardest single
man to stop, with memories of his
sandwich glory two years ago. But
the English and the Scots have
masssed the pick of their younger
stars and their veterans to recapture
the fame that used to be when
Vardon, Braid and Taylor ruled the
field with 16 championships packed
away before the pressure of the years
left them behind.
Still, it would be worth trip across
to see Vardon, Braid and Taylor
march again-With swings that still

Baer, Dempsey and Condition.

"TLL tell you a story about Jack
Dempsey and being in condition"
observed Max Baer as he hit his
longest drive of the day. That type
of drive always makes you cheerful
and talkative.
When you've got Jack Dempsey
looking after you. you either keep in
condition before fight or you might
get killed.
Jack gave me workout before the
Schmeling fight, slipping me few
pointers He forgets how hard he
can still hit and he can't pull punch.
AS a result. he came near cracking
one of my ribs and dislocating a few
teeth.
The same thing happened only
few hours before the Carnera fight
He got me in room, gave me final
talk. and then started illustrating his
main points with punches, which were
not any too easy to take. I know
one numbed my right arm. If 1 hadn't
been in pretty fair shape Dempsey
would have had me groggy for both
fights.
