ROWE IS FAILURE
IN DETROIT PLAN
Beaten by Yanks in Effort to
Erase Slender Edge.
Bruins Make Gain.
BY ANDY CLARKE.

TINE New York teams grimly held
their half-gam leads today as
the st. Louis Cardinals and
Il the Detroit Tigers sought to
tear them from the pinnacle.
The well-laid plan of Mickey Coch-
rane went astray as his ace mounds
man. Schoolboy Rowe, failed to turn
in the victory that would have shot
the battling Tigers into the lead.
But Mickey isn't downhearted. As
he sat in a hotel and discoursed on
base ball psychology, he was asked:
How is the winning spirit pro-
duced?"
His sun-creased face grew serious,
and he said:
"Well, it's hustle and fight and play
ing heads-up base ball. It's the will
to win, to overcome odds. How to
get it? Well, it's just in keeping the
fellows on their toes. It's in making
them hustle.
There are different ways to get
the men TO do this. Temperaments
and characteristics are different
Each fellow must have his own treat
ment. But to win you've got to have
spirit. winning spirit"
Yankees Beat Rowe.
p OWE lost the first game to the
Yanks. Us as Mickey belted a
homer, but Vic Sorrell evened matters
in the second, holding the Yanks tc
eight hits as the Tigers won 81.
Rowe wasn't the only star pitcher tc
meet defeat. Johnny Allen and Lefty
Gomez of the Yanks took early
showers, although Allen got credit
for winning the first game.
The Giants lost the first game oi
their doubled header with the Card.
6-1, and took the second 8-2. Pau
Dean allowed four hits and famed l;
as Joe Medwick hit two for the cir
cult in the first.
Pepper Martins three errors figured
heavily in the Giants victory in the
nighttcap. 1t was the sixth straight
defeat for the Giants, who seemed q
cinch for the pennant not long ago.
Cubs Catching Leaders.
THE third place Chicago Cubs closed
in by sweeping a double-headel
with the Brooklyn Dodgers. GA and

streak to IA out of II games and lifted
them to within three games of tht

The American team rested its hopes
with the veteran Wilmer Allison Of

youthful Heiner Henkel.
The final match, which the Ameri-
cans hope will be merely an anti
climax to their winning Of the series,
brings togther Bulge and Baron Gott-
fried Won Cramm, the German ace.
Allison and John Van Ryn Of Phila-
delphia put the United States ahead
yesterday when they conquered Won
Cranlm and Kay Lund in the doubles,
3-6, 6-3, 81, 81, 8-6, five times
being within a point Of defeat.
Allison was outspoken in his praise
of the Germans.
I'm the last two days Won Cranm
played the greatest tennis I ever saw"
he said. st never saw a pair serve as
well for five sets as Won Cramm and
Lund did. That fellow Lund's service
is fully as good as Won Cramm's. I
still don't know how we did it."

- Dyed-in-the-wool followers
of the major leagues may
L call it a "sissie" game If
they wish, but soft ball rates at
the top for some $4,000 fans who
support two long-established six
team leagues in this area.
Some idea of the enthusiasm en-
gendered is given at Santa Ana,
where night soft ball receipts
helped built a stadium seating

Patterned in many ways after
the major base ball circuits, even
as to rules fo. trading players, the
leagues are named the National
and the American.
The former includes Orange
County and Coast cities, the
American cities of the citrus belt
area.
Success Of the league this sea-
son had prompted plans for hclu-
sion of a Los Angeles metropolitan
circuit and another circuit in San
Diego County.

Ct. LOUIS, July 24.-It was
~ make or break" today as
Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbell were
nominated for mound duty in the
little world series" between the
St. Louis Cardinals and the New
York Giants.
With g. half game separating
the league-leading Giants and the

that wins today is almost certain
to end the series on top. 1t would
take a sweep of tomorrow's dou-
ble-header by the trailing team
to dislodge today's winner from
the lead.
Dean and Hubben have been
having their troubles this year,
with neither finding the going as
easy as he did in 1884, but the
stakes are heavy and each is a
