CARDS EXTEND
WIN STREAK
TOFOURTEEN
BY PAT ROBINSON


The amazing sweep Of the Car
dinals which today had carried
them through IA straight victories
and within hailing distance of the
pace-setting but faltering Giants
recalls the dictum Of the late John
McGraw who used to say:
take nothing for granted in
baseball"
Three weeks ago the Giants
were rolling far ahead of the pack
The Cards, dissention in their
ranks, were far back in the ruck.
Then Lady Luck stepped in with
reverse English. The Giants lost
Fitzsimmons and Castleman. They
skidded. The Cards pulled them
selves together. Hallahan began
to pitch as of old. The team
started to hit and here they are
riding roughShod over all opposi-
ton.
Who's Going to Stop Them?
Who's going to stop them?
Well, it may be that same tickle
dame, Lady Luck, or the law Of
averages, or the Dodgers repre-
senting both.
Meanwhile. they were making
life miserable for all corners as
they did for the Braves, whom
they bowled over yesterday, 10
to 3. The Cards weighed in
within 10 hits, including homers
by Delaney and Martin, off Mac
F'ayden and Smith, while Paul
Dean was holding the Braves to
five,
Meanwhile, too, the Giants
were decidedly lucky in gaining a
5-3 decision over the Reds in IL
heats. Three minimizing errors
let the Giants score two to tie
in the ninth or the Reds would
have won in regulation lime. Bill
Terry used three of his second
stringers - Smith, Garbler and
Stout y leaving Parmelee and
Schumacher fresh to face the
Cubs.
The Dodgers, with Benge and
Leonard yielding only six hits,
swept their four-game series with
the Pirates and in winning this
last one, 5-3, beat the sensational
Pirate rookie, Cy Blanton. The
Pirates seem to have shot their
bolt.
Cubs Win
The Cubs teed off on three
Philly pitchers for an 11-3 YER
dict. Klein, Hack and Demaree
hit homerS for the Cubs and
Chiozza for the PhilS.
The American League for the
moment is even closer than the
National. The Tigers came up
within a game and a half Of the
Yanks by shutting out the Red
Sox, 80, while the Browns were
scoring a Al surprise over the
YankS in IL innings.
Rowe gave the Sox but five hits.
The Tigers made only eight off
Terrell who was handicapped by
poor support particularly from
Cronin.
Coffman went the route for the
Browns against Ruffing, Malone
and De Shong. Malone forced in
two runs in the eleventh with
passes.
The AS staged q four-run rally
in the ninth to give Johnny Mar
cum q win over the Indians, Is.
Pincky Higgins helped the AS
cause no little with two homerS,
good for four runs.

this victory, especially when he
was knocked to a count Of nine
as early as the first round.
A great finish won the bout
for the little welterweight. He

Bluege Smacked that ball in the
last half Of the fourth inning. He
ripped it through the right center
field alley and Haas was lucky to
stop it. Bluege opened fire with
single in the third that led to a
run.
Buck Newsom came in with a
single that aided his own cause
in the fourth. He drove in Bluege
with the third run of the inning.
His sacrifice helped to build up
the first run Of the game.
Walks to Bull Pen
Russell walked slowly and de-
liberately to the bull pen in the
fifth after Newsom had walked
two batSmen. But he didn't go to
action, figuring that Newsom
would work out his own salvation.
The White Sox this morning
were chatting about pitchers and
pitching. It was agreed by each
and several that Johnny Allen
has more stuff than any one
they've met on this trip. Allen
has developed a natural sail ball
that has the hitters nearly daffy.
Newsom was just a wee bit too
good for the Pallid Hose and
pitched himself through every
difficulty. In the sixth Bonura
and Simmons singled conSecu-
lively, but only one run resulted.
jake Powell had a large after
noon, getting two infield hits and
a rap into left field that helped
the batting average. Twice Boil
ton hit into double plays behind
him, which doubtless gave jake
a pain in the neck.
Ripper Radcliff bounced a
double off the right-field fence in
the seventh inning and put New
som on the spot. Two infield
outs pushed a run over the plate,
but Bonura's drive found a rest
ing place in ManuSh'S glove.

WALSH DRILLS
PLEBE CREW
At NAVY

ANNAPOLIS, July 19.-Coach
Charles Walsh and several MILDLY
assistants "re working with q
promising squad of Navy plebe
oarsmen this summer, a number
of whom are of the type from
which the power houses of win
ming PoughkeepSie crews are
formed.
Navy people are just about
convinced that while they may
form fine sprint crews with the
material which the crew squad
has been getting, big and power
full men are needed by crews
which finish first after the four
mile grind on the Hudson.
It is pointed out that the Navy,
with an excellent crew, was
beaten last year by California
and Washington, and this year
by California, Washington and
Cornell, all crews averaging from
8 to IL pounds more than the
Nays.
Big Men Available
Fortunately, some big men
came out for rowing last year and
will be available for the varsity
squad next season. This summer
there are number of the same
kind-youths ranging from 1875
pounds to well over 200, but these,
of course, will not be ready for
the big squad until another year.
BY the season of 1887, just
after the Olympic year, unfortu.
nately, Coach Walsh should have
plenty of the biggest and strong
est type of oarsmen, and with the
big classes which are entering the
Academy, a continuance of ma
terial in abundance may be ex-
pected.
After furnishing an Olympic
winner and four crews which
finished first in the varsity event
at Poughkeepsie, the Navy is not
satisfied with crews which do not
take their share of the supreme
honorS. The material which the
last entering classes have fur.
nished revives the hope that the
Navy may take its former place
in college rowing.
Last years plebe class, now the
third, will furnish a quartet Of
big lads to the varsity squad Of
next season. They are Arthur
Yeates, George Whiteside, Carl
Fleps and George Francis. There
are several others, not so hefty.
including Paul Schultz, who pulled
we'll at stroke during the season.
Former Plebes
Yeates, WhiteSide and Fleps
rowed on the plebe crew at
Poughkeepsie. Francis rowed with
the Syracuse freshmen in 1884,
and so was not eligible for the
Navy plebeS last season. YeateS
weighs 1872 pounds, Whiteside and
Fleps about 1876 each, and Francis
over 200. Such men, Navy people
think, look well in the waist of
a varsity eight.
Careful instruction is now being
given the candidates from the new
plebe class. Four crews have been
formed and will race for the inter-
company championship early in
August. Then a representative
crew will be formed from the best
men in the four boats and will
work together for a couple Of
weeks, probably having a race with
an outside crew. It will be fine
preparation for the spring season.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July

after shattering several score in

Cleveland for the past month
has played ball which now is
slightly below the 400 notch.
According TO well-informed
baseball men, johnson made GER
tain ill-advised statements on
baseball, the gist of his utter.
; anceS being that the American
League was a sucker league; that
there wasn't a good team in it.,
and as far as the Indians were
concerned, they'd quit cold.
Regardless of the truth Of
Johnson's statements, his diplom.
acy is to be questioned.
Cleveland is bowling for his
head as his team has dropped
10 games behind the lead. Smart
baseball men say that overtureS
will be made to Rogers HornSby
at the end of the season, and
their is reason to believe that
baSeball'S Man of Steel' will &C.
cept a proposition from Alva
Bradley and his associates.
Be that as it may, and baseball
gossipS never cease wegging their
tongues, Washington fans are
rallying to Walter johnson in no
uncertain manner. This writer is
in receipt of check from George
Tracey for 50 to aid in the cause.
Rabid Ball Fam
Tracey is a ball fan and a
pretty good ball player one time,
they tell me over at the RFC
offices where he keeps the boys
posted on the inside dope.
Thanks George, and keep the
pot a boilin' for Walters sake.
We had a fine bit Of relaying
in the first inning that cost the
Griffs a run. Manush doubled
into left field with Myer on first.
Buddy dashed for the plate, but
Radcliffe threw to Dykes whose
relay to Sewell retired Myer by
half a step.
ManuSh, having made a double
proceeded to cut down a hit Of
such dimensions. He rolled and
fell but chung to a shot by AL
Simmons, causing the Powerful
Pole no little grief.
jake Powell got q long, long
lead on Tietje in the second inn
ing and stole second despite
Sewell's fine peg. Any potential
benefits Of this larceny were lost
when Bolton lined to Bonura and
Powell was doubled at second
base.
Jimmy Dykes walked to open
the second inning, but he at
tempted to steal second and was
thrown out. It looked from the
stands as if NewSom guessed the
play and made a pitch out.
OratOry in Third
There was a great deal of ora
tory in the third. Kuhel hit to
the center-field fence, scoring
Bluege. AS Kuhel turned second
he bumped into Appling and was
knocked down. Bill Dinneen al.
lowed the claim Of interference
and Kuhel proceeded to third.
And did those White Sox rave!
Ripper Radcliff made q one.
handed catch Of Stones drive in
the second inning. He Just did
manage to reach the ball. Stone
scored after the catch,
AL Simmons was in too much Of
hurry to get hit in the third
inning. He struck at q bad ball
and popped out with runners on
second and third.
Applng followed with a pass,
but Dykes popped out with the
bases loaded. Was his face red?

 Theatre Friday

Broadway to Hollywood , glittering pageant of the thea tre, comes Friday to the Alas ka Dream Theatre screen, bringing a dazzling cavalcade that ranges from Broadway of the Gay Nineties" to mod ern Hollywood with an all star cast which includes Alice Brady, Jackie Cooper. Jimmy Durante, Frank Morgan, Mad ge Evans. Eddie Quillan, Fay Templeton, May Robson and Russell Hardie.
 The new Metro-GoldWyn- Mayer picture is a drama of three generations in the thea tre, from the colorful days of Tony Pastor to the modern super-productions of Holly wood, with a theatrical fam fly trouping proudly through a cavalcade of Americas pro- gress in entertainment. The story was written for the screen by the veteran vaude- vile writer, Edgar Allan Woolf, and Willard Mack, who also directed the produc- tion.
 Fay Templeton sings Rosie Posie" again, and Barney Fa- gan, famous free-wheeling soft shoe dancer, treads the boards. Alice Brady and MT Frank Morgan cover nearly sixty years of the theatre in dramatic action, from youth to old age. Jackie Cooper turns "hoofer," and later his role is played as a grownup by Russell Hardie. Ed Quill

beechnuts. He is very fond of beech
| nuts, is Buster Bear, and it was to
look for beechnuts that he had come
to that particular part of the Green
Forest that particular night. You see
1t was the part Of the Green Forest
where the beech trees grow.
So Buster Bear wasn't thinking Of
anything but beechnuts as he walked
toward that little pile of leaves and
Danny Meadow Mouse. He was max
ing a noise deep down in his throat.
Danny thought he was growing and
the sound would have frightened him
still more only he was already as
frightened as it was possible to be-.
Buster wasn't growing. He was talk
ing to himself.
"There is a little pile of leaves
haven't raked over yet" he was say
ing There ought to be some nice
sweet nuts in among those leaves.
Can't think of anything better than
nice sweet beechnuts. Wish they were
bigger. certainly do wish they were
bigger. 1t takes a lot of work to find
enough to fill the stomach of such a
big fellow as / am. 1t would be lot
easier if it were not for these pesky
leaves. Seems as if nuts just dearly
love to hide under leaves. Wish they
grew the way berries grow 1t would
be a lot easier to get enough If they
did. Now we'll see how many I'll find
under these leaves"
BY this time he was near enough to
reach out great paw with its dreadful
claws Danny saw that great paw
starting toward him. With a faint
little squeak Of fright he scnrried out
from under those leaves, and because
he was headed towards Buster Bear
and was too frightened to know where
he was going he ran straight at Bus
ter. 1t was all so sudden and uneX-
pected that for an instant it startled
Buster.
