Pirates Getting Into
Thick of Flag Chase

q games, taking the last five In q
row.
This winning streak has carried
them from fifth place . little over
a week ago into second. and In only
one of those five games have they
gathered more than ten hits.

in six-hit mound performances, Jim
Weaver q five-hit shutout. Cy

MiSsiSsippian, came through with q
brilliant four-hit game Thursday 70

Bush battled the even more
venerable Jesse Pop) Haines on
the hill and after the first inning
was almost unbeatable. The first
two men up. Burgess Whitehead
and Jack Rothrock, connected for
q single and a double that produced
the only Cardinal run.
Tigers Move Up
The BUGS got their pair in the
second when doubles by Pep Young
and Earl Grace surrounded a pass
to Tommy Thevenow. Bush was
threatened only in the seventh when
his only pass. plus an error and a
sacrifice let Jim Collins reach
third. He was thrown out trying TO
score on a grounder TO short.
Mickey COchrane's Detroit T1g-
ers, who have been moving up In
the American league almost as
steadily as Pittsburgh, went into q
third place tie with the Cleveland
Indians as they won a ten-inning
struggle 10 to 9 and saw the second
half OF a scheduled double header
washed out. This DECISION and Chi
Cages enforced idleneSs returned
the White Sex to second place as
the Indians fell back.
The Tigers were set for a walk
over when they built up a TO lead
while Schoolloy Rowe pitched six
hitleSs innings. But In the seventh
Rowe blew up, and Cleveland had
scored six runs before Zion HogSett
checked the rally.
The Indians forged ahead in the
eighth only TO have the Tigers )t
the score and finally win when

and drove in his fifth run In the
tenth after Charley Gehrigner had
opened with a double.

mound start for Washington, baffled
Boston with five hits TO give the
senators a 3 to o victory over the
Red Sox in Thursdays other major

tests in each league. while the
Braves and Brooklyn had an open
date.

TULSA OILERS

Oklahomans Defeat BUGS In
IS Inning Battle
6 to 3

The Tulsa Oilers were close enough
to the lead position In the Texas lea
que pennant race Friday to worry
tn Galveston Buccaneers. but 1t
took a 4-run rally in the 18th in
hing to put them there.

fore Tulsa scored four runs In the

Art Jones and Jack Jakuch, CAL

ers' battle through the first seven

The victory placed Tulsa within a
half game Of the league leading
BUGS.
Fort Worth found out how 1t feels
to suffer a couple Of shut-outs in
one evening as San Antonio added q
6 to 0 and a 3 to 0 program on the
clubs win side.
At no time during the contests
did the Cats bunch two hits in the
same inning. Caldwell pitched the
first game and yielded but four
blows while Wiltse gave up but three
in the after-piece. The seven hits
wer, too well scattered to do the
Panthers any good.
Red Phillips scattered 8 hits to
score a 3 to 0 shut-out for Beau
mont over Dallas. Francis Nelson,
former Beaumont player. pitched
coed ball for Dallas. but four bunch
ed singles in the first and two more
in the sixth things he failed

McGee's eighth victory. Except in the
fourth. when the Indians scored all

TROUBLE In
BAER'S CAMP
Max and Manager Disagree
On Several Items,
Rumors Say

AUSBURY PARK, N. j., June Y.
AR1-RumorS OF disSension, as
ever a reliable feature OF q heavy
weight championship fight bally-
hoo, have reared their tattered but
still ugly heads In the training
camp Of Macmillan Adelbert Baer.
kingfish OF the clout kingdom.
The story Is that Baer Is angry
with his manager, Ancil Hoffman.
for a variety Of reasons. One is that
Baer is angry because the suit Of
his former manager, J. Ham Lori
mer, who Is seeking a share In the
champions earnings. already has
cost him close To $4,000 In Cali
fornia courts.
Another Is that Baer hurt his
right hand In his last exhibition
fight, though the process Of blam-
ing this on Hoffman Is hard To
follow.
The third and most important
to Baer, is that Hoffman interferes
In the champions private life.
particularly when Max Is choosing
his feminine company.
Neither denies friction over the
last point. Hoffman Is SO unreason-
able, Baer insists, that he even
forbids Baer's girl friends TO visit
him while he Is training for his
heavyweight title defense against
Jimmy Braddock in the Long
Island Bowl next Thursday night.
But the fact is that Hoffman
doesn't even attend Baer's training
workouts. Dolph Thomas Of San
Francisco Is In complete charge Of
training.
Baer believes he can name the
punch against Braddock. can knock
out Schmeling as often as they
fight, can toy with Camera and
drill him at will. but Louis. he
believes, is the most dangerous
heavyweight on the fight horizon.
He'd like to get him early, as
Jack Dempsey got Louis Angel
Firpo before he was fully season
ed. He has a suspicion that next
year might be too late.
