REVIVED BROWNS
DESERT CELLAR
Shove in Athletics With
Double viCtory-Giants
Gain on Leaders.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. JR.,
A.,ortataA prsss snortx Writer

Associated Press sports Writer.
THE National League pennant
battle was as keen as ever to-
day with the Cardinals and
l. Cubs setting q pace that the
Giants were finding hard to follow;
the Tigers. despite a setback, still
had a clear path to the American
League flag; but the real news Of the
day was that the Browns were out
of the cellar.
Few teams have had more dismal
prospects than Rogers Hornsby's team
did early this season, but by dint or
persistent trading on the managers
part and hard work by the players
the Browns have been built up into
a quite formidable organization. They
stepped out yesterday to belt over the
fading Athletics in a double header,
9 to and z to S, to move a half
game ahead OF Philadelphia into sew
enth place.
Washington conquered Detroit's
league leaders, 4 to 3.
Terry's Batting Tells.
THE New York Giants, safely out Of
Cincinnati. began a new effort
to get out Of third place in the Ma
tional League by trimming Pittsburgh,
to /. on the combination OF Carl
Hubbells six-hit hurting and four
straight hits by Manager Bill Terry.
The victory enabled the Giants to
pick up half game on both their
rivals and place one game behind
the Cubs. whose game with Boston
was rained out, and 81 games behind
the Cards.
st. Louis divided an odd double
header with the Phillies. Dizzy Dean
pitched a four-hit shutout in the
opener for his twenty-ifth victory of
the season, winning IL 10 O. Then
five more hurlers combined on another
four-hit job only to have the Phils
win it. 4 to 2, by punching two of
the blows with a walk and two errors
in the second inning. Poor base run
ming and Orville Jorgens' effective
ness in the pinches left Is Cardinals
on the bases.
The Boston Red Sox regained fourth
place In the American League by
taking a bargain bill from Chicago's
White Sox. 6 to 2 and 5 to 2.
The Yankees managed to reduce
Detroit's lead to 812 games by taking
two last-minute decisions from Cleve-
land. They won the opener in the
tenth, 8 to 2, and the afterpiece
in the ninth, to 4. Two were out
each time when the odd run scored
Brooklyn protected fifth place in the
National from Cincinnatis threats
with a double victory over the Reds.

MR.. DOYLE confessed that sharp
AVA shooter from Texas has already
offered to bet $500 on the fight.
But he don't say who he wants to
bet on. He's being cute. Until know
can't give him price. After all,
a bet of $500 so early in the month
can just about fix the odds by itself.

it's on Baer, up goes Baer."
It's funny how the theoretical, or
paper, odds on fight are established.
Last year, a person betting on Baer.
the champion. the destroyer OF
Camera, against the unknown semi
pro fighter, Louis, would have had to
give six, seven, eight, or even ten
to one. Since then, each man has
mad one important fight. And the
odds are to l on Louis.
The market is affected by things
like this:
Baer is transformed from ruth
less killer to a fumbling. incompetent
bum by one hours demonstration
against James j. Braddock.
Baer's hands are said to be in good
shape, then bad shape, then good
shape.
Baer gets married.
Baer admits he is rotten fighter.
Baer says he will murder
Louis, but they believed him the
first time.
Louis defeats a procession Of stumble
buns.
Louis knocks out the very terrible
Camera.
Louis scares Levinsky horizontal In
the first round.
Louis is described. on the strength
of this, as a perfect. invincible fighter.
Must Build Up Baer.
A ND so the odds go to to l on
= Louis, and the promoters Of the
fight, having built up the Black Threat
sufficiently, or even too much, must
turn around and build up Baer.
They'll do it all right. Two weeks
from now Baer's splendid physical
condition, high highly moral attitude,
and his proves against sparring
partners will be 50 thoroughly ad-
vertised that the odds will be o
scanty or to 5 against him.
As q matter Of fact, most Of the

ESTALLELLA'SBAT
HARNESSES TIGERS
Newcomer Hits Soundly in
Debut, but Pass He Gets
Beats Champions.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

PAIR of contrasting circum-
~ stances, with the element OF
~ of surprise as the only bond,
4 n today caused Third Baseman
Cecil Travis to don sun-glasses and
hasten his preparation for a near
future debut as Washington's left
fielder.
Strangely enough, young Buddy
Lewis of Chattanooga, widely hailed
as his successor and the Grifts' next
third sacker, had nothing to do with
the slightly premature conversion OF
Travis.
Two other ball-playing gents fur
niShed the chief reasons for Manager
Bucky Harris announcement that
today Travis seriously would bend
efforts toward becoming an outfielder.
They are Senior Roberto Estallella, late
Of Harrisburg and Cuba, and Herr
Heinie Manush. late of the 800 class
in batting.
Originally Travis was not to be
shifted until Lewis arrival, but now
he may be expected to move into left
field any day.

JIMMY BRADDOCK Is a great

him. He is something unique
~ among sports champions, this
heavyweight boxing crown-wearer, who
will make his bow to the Capital in
three-round exhibition at the Turner
Ahearn fight show in Griffith Stadium
tonight. There is not a trace of ego
about him. But Jimmy rather would
not pen or pencil his name on pro-
grams, cards and what not.

thing in sight for eats" explains

flower during his Washington visit,

What a lot of headaches those relief

THE only paper I'm always ready
to put my name to is one for a fight
in defense Of my championship. Pro
duce the fighter that's worth while
and I'll take crack at him"
Jimmy has found a way to ward
of autograph seekers. He has with
him great pal in Jack Mccarthy, the
sparmate who will oppose him in the
three-round exhibition featuring the
six-bout boxing card at the ball yard
tonight. Jack is almost a double OF
Braddocks so far as appearance goes
and often subs for the champ when
the persistent ones come around With

- EPTEMBER Is back = to school
month not only for kids with
arithmetics and Biographies
- under their arms. Starting to-
day, Manager Bucky Harris Is going
to open a base ball School for the
Nationals younger set.
Bucky rang the first bell for classes
this morning at 1920 o'clock at Grit
nth Stadium and instruction will be
continued until the end Of the Amerl-
can League season. The courses are
elective-cnly Harris is doing the
electing.
Listed among Buckys star pupils
right now are Cecil Travis, who'll
start farming to play the outfield;
Roberto Estallella, who must brush up
on his Unfolding; Bill Starr, whose
hitting could stand little bolstering:
Dee Miles, whose bunting and fielding
must be improved, and two or three
young pitchers who are not under
contract.
In a few days the class will be in
creased with the arrival from Chatta-
nooga Of Buddy Lewis, third baseman;
Dick Lanahan, southpaw pitcher, and
Red Marion, outf1elder.
SPEAKING of school, Estallella is
going to real classes, too. AS soon
as the base ball season is ended, Senior
Roberto is going to buy himself some
text books and study the English
language at local school this Fall
and Winter.
Born of Spanish parents in Media,
Cuba, the 21-year-old prospect was
picked up on the island early last year
by Joe Cambria, owner of the Harris
burg and Albany clubs. Estallella
spoke not word of English and an
interpreter was used in signing the
contract.
The picturesque third baseman has
picked up a few words of English
since, but most of them come under
base ball jargon-and a few aren't
exactly shining examples Of what
should go into this family newspaper.
His greeting to Earl Whitehill, dean
Of the slab staff, when introduced
Saturday, was:

the Supreme Court Of the United
States renders decision in the gold
clause case.
Advance knowledge Of those
words would be worth millions to
spectators. A fortune might be
won by a person who knew which
way the court had decided.
DUT there will be no change IN
ID routine that the court has
observed for so years. If the de-
cision is reached tomorrow, as ex-
pected, a trusted clerk of the court
will type it up. Then Sunday
night he will go, as Supreme
Court clerks have each Sunday
night before decision day since
1875. to an obscure little printing
establishment in the old business
district of Washington.
Next door to the establishment
on one side is a one-arm lunch
counter where placards advertise
Three Fried oysters For A
Dime" On the other side is Katie
Dunn's Beauty Shop. Featuring
Marcel Hair Waves
On the door of the shop, in worn
gold letters. is the legend:

TT IS to this small but venerable
L firm that the Supreme Court
has trusted its opinions since long
before any present members of the
tribunal took office.
The court has firmly and
politely resisted all efforts to have
its decisions printed in the Gov
eminent Printing Office which
handles other government bust
ness.
The court maintains that never
in the so years that PearsOn's has
done its work has there been a
leak. It is wary of making any
change There was a reported
leak on a court decision back il
1919. but Parsons was not in
volved. A secretary to one of the
justices was indicted but the case
never came to trial This is the
only leak suspected in recent
years.
The procedure at Pearson's is
simplicity itself. The clerk hands
the full typewriter decision to a
trusted foreman whose name
never has been revealed. Presum-
ably he has handled the decisions
for many years.
n
THIS foreman ships the de-
cision into many parts, so that
no two lines will tell the story.
