Cleveland, Aug. as A-. Henry Louis Gehrig, suffering from lum bago while leading the crippled New York Yankees desperate fight on their final western swing, early showed the stuff that was to lead him to the greatest endurance record in the history of athletics.
 Gehrig's more than 1900 consec- utive contests becomes more phe- nomenal the more you think about 1t. On the firing line in the wear ing spiked-shoe game for more than nine full seasons day in and double headers out, despite illness, broken bones, and bean balls!
 Shortly after Gehrig broke Tn with the Yankees on June l, 1925, Ted Lyons, of the White Sox, struck him on the head with a ball thrown low and hard in an effort to pick him off second base as he slid back head first. Columbia Lou was out five minutes.
 When Gehrig recovered con sciousness, Chief Bender, then third base coach for the Chicago Club, said to the groggy collegian, Kid, you'd better get out of here. Your eyes are glassy, and you're shaking all over." .,, "Nope." replied Gehrig. "Pll

The iEitial western threat will be made by the swashbuckling, second-place St. Louis Cardinals who open a hve-game series with a double-header at the Polo Grounds. The Chicago Cubs, now in third place, tangle with the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets field and take on the Giants next week.
 Both series beginning today will have 8 definite bearing on the lead- ership. The Giants, hopeful that two days of rest has lifted them from their slump, go into the cru- cial period with slim 1-2 game lead.
 Nip and Tuck
 In games won and lost the Cubs are closer to first place than the Cardinals but Chicago has played more games and lost more than St. Louis. Thus, the Cards have three point edge in the percentage col umn. The Giants lead the Cardinals by three games and the Cubs by 2h.
 The Cardinals must win four of the five games to move into first. If the Giants win three they will renal non top even if the Cub s sweep their five-game series with Brooklyn.
 The Giants, pummleed during the past few weeks by the tail- enders, enter these critical engage ments with an edge over both con- tenders. They have won nine out of 13 games played thus far with tn ardinals and lost only two out of six to them in the Polo Grounds. Against the Cubs, the Giants have been victorious seven times in IA starts, including five triumphs out of seven at home.
 The New York pitching staff, which has bogge ddown during re- cent weeks, Is fully rested. Carl Hubbell and Clyde Castleman are expected to start today opposed by Jerome (Dizzy) Dean and Wild Bill Hallahan. The New Workers have no respect for either of the Dean bows. Dizzy has yet to whip them this seaso nand Brother Paul mas won two and lost two. Brooklyn Aid The Chants are CouutluS oh S0h siderable help from the Dodgers who have a weak grip on hftn place. Regardless of whether vic- tory over the Cubs will aid the Giant cause the Brooklyns will flint their heads off to increase their second division margin.
 While interest centers on the na- tionai fight. the New York Yankees are off to a flying start in their last western invasion. The Tanks l crept up a full game to within nve games of the leading Detroit Tigers yesterday as all the eastern teams triumphed in their opening western contests.
 The Yankees subdued the Cleve- land Indians S-2 while Washing tons Senators were trouncing the Tigers 4-3 in ten innings. The Bos- ton Red Sox moved into third place a full game ahead of the Chicago White Six whom they defeated 9-5. The Philadelphia Athletics beat St. Louis 14-1.
 YESTERDAYS HERO: Joe Kuhel, Washington infielder, whose single in the tenth scored the run that defeated Detroit.

 Gehrig Replaces Pipp
 Gehrig recalls his first eppear- ance as Yankee.
 "It was against Washington al the Yankee Stadium," relates Col Jake Ruppert's pet pastimer. "l was sent up as a pinch hitter. don't remember whom batter for, but I know I singled.
 "The next day I came out early and asked Charley O'Leary. who was one of our coaches, to hit grounders ot me. I guess we were out there together for an hour, and was dead tired when we knocked off. I went into the clubhouse about ? o'clock to lie down while the regular infielders had practice
 While was in the clubhouse Miller Huggins called me into hi office and said, You go out ther, and play first base today, and from now on.'
 Gee, didn't know what t, think. Wally Pipp, who was play ing first base then, looked good n, only for the rest of that season but possibly for the next. But was glad to get the chance, and laid down again to get. as mucl rest as I could before the gam started.
 Then went out and got two ol three hits, don't remember which They were off George Mogridge and we were playing the Senator's Couldn't Fool Greenberg
 Hank Greenberg, of the De. troit Tigers, the current home run king, tells an amusing story in connection with the attempt of Paul Kritchell, the Yankee scout, to talk him into signing while the pair watched the club play at the stadium.
 My tteher was eager to have me go with the Yankees, too," smiles Greenberg, who grew up in the shadow of the magnificent Bronx ball yeard. T imagine Kritchell noticed that couldn't get my eyes off Gchrig, for he several times re. marked that Lou was the type who would go quickly when he went.
 That was in 1929, and you will recall that it was the worst season Gehrig has experienced. He just did hit 300. Yea, Gehrig may be through Kritchell repeated, but knew Letter and so did he, ol course.
 "Kritchell kept raising the ante but he was chiseling. I got $S00( for signing with Detroit, but tha wasn't the only reason that I lis. tened to Jean Dubuc, who repre-. sented Frank Navin.
 T had seen enough of Gehrig oe know that had no business witf the Yankees-if I wanted to play first base"

Vast interest is being mani- fested in the hole-iii-one tour nament which opens up tomor- row and is to continue for two weeks. The green committee has laid out temporary green for this event. A discussion arose as to the yardage of this hole, some suggested the hole be a trifie over 100 yards, so everyone would have an equal chance. The writer advised the committee to increase the dis tance or Bob Harry, Bill Pick ard, Gus Steere and some more of the Watertown pitch artists would come down and roll in a few after the first few trys. This tourney is open to mem- bers and guests with each con- testant being allowed i've shots at the pin. If the hole is not aced during the tournament. winners will be declared ac- cording to distances from the cup.

The one.sided victory gained by Waterbury over Meriden in the Connecticut Light and Power company inter- district tournament held at the Mattatuck last week was a decided surprise, even to the most ardent rooters of thel ocal team. Yes. even over here in Wa terbury the team representing C.. T. Aliens district was conceded about as great a chance of topping the Silver City fairway performers as "Kingfish" Levinsky had or stepping Joe Louis. Probably some of the Meriden lads were a bit on form. or maybe it was because sev. eraI of the victors wre throwing hot irons. This remains to be seen for next week the Waterpury Powermen will journey over the mountain to Meriden for a return match.
 As great an upset was the individual victories of Frank Byrnes and Al Borg over their respective opponents, Charlie
 "Chuck" Stowell and Alden
 Warner. "Chuck's" tee shot curdled, a thing that is real
 disastrous on Mattatuck's nar-
 row fairways. Al Borg, who
 has been shooting rather con- sistent golf this season had
 little difficulty in annexing three points from his friend
 Warner. The process may De reversed for the Waterbury duo on next weeks invasion or
 Neriden.
 On completing the first nine we looked over the score sheet posted on the bulletin board and noted with amazement a lowly A atfer Frank Byrnes' name. Not so hot, thought we. Frank settled down, went to work and pared the sec ond nine, which held his gross to so and made him medalist of the day.
 Charlie Peterson, of Meri- den. took on his friend Bob
 Raythkwich. The responsibif-
 ties of the match promoting must have effected Charlie's game, enabling Bob to romp in at2K to h winner. Now that Charlie has turned the return match worries over to Jimmy Il Doak it Is expected he will be back on his game nexs week.
  O. l.. a F. CO. SIDE LIGHTS Bill Jebb opposed A. 6. Jourdan. the Meriden district manager. Bill's chip shots to the pin were just a bit too much for A. B.: In fact the Meriden boss was willing to concede hole as soon as Bill reached the apron. The Harry Hrennaf-sam Killeen match turned into one of those comedy affairs. NewIywed Harry said they didn't play much golf but they sure had Q grand time. After the match the Galipeau bros, Fred and Joe, por- trayed the perfect hosts to the gang.
