Tracy, anxious to avenge a dis
puted draw battle with Woods in a
previous tussle here, was in there
trying all the way but the counter
punching Michigan pug tossed too
much leather. Cox was forced to
do all the leading, Chuck being sat-
isf1ed to lie back and shoot in that
snaky left when Tracy came rush

Woods also held an edge in the
infghting. Cox, contrary to pre-
vious form, rallied strong in the
late rounds, landing hard rights to
the midsection, but Woods, too, had
plenty left for the final squirt. Both
appeared in excellent condition. On
The Times scorecard, the found
count stood five for Woods, three
for Cox, and two even.

Loop Leaders
Bow Twice to
Humble Phils
New Workers Shaky as Two
Crucial Series With
Cubs, Cards Near.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK. Aug. 9-Another
crucial series" is brewing in the
National League.
The leading New York Giants,
who had hoped to fashion a sub
Stantial margin in preparation for
the opening Of an invasion by West
ern pennant chasers next week, are
seeing their lead dWindle.
Unless they start winning they will
have to go through another Cruel
ing hand-to-hand battle for first
place when the ST Louis Cardinals
come to town next Wednesday.
If they get by the Cardinals, the
Giants still will face the challenge
of the Chicago Cubs, who arrive for
a series a week later.
Lose Three in Row
Monday the Giants rode the crest
of f1ve-game winning streak, led
the league by four games and an
ticipated another game with the
Brooklyn Dodgers and six with the
Philadelphia Phillies as timely OPP
portunities to reconstruct the adj
vantage they lost during their recent
disastrous Western venture.
Today the Giants mourn a losing
streak of three games, top the Sec
ond-place Cubs by only two games
and the third-place Cardinals by
81.
Two factors which have been a
detriment to the Giants all season
have been distinctly noticeable dur
ing their last three games.
l. Weakness against left-handed
pitching.
2. The surprising improvement of
the Phillies.
Davis Poison to Hubbell
A left hander-ancient Tom
Zachary-started the New York
downfall Monday when he pitched
the Dodgers to a 81 victory. Zach
was the ninth Southpaw to defeat
the Giants this season, compared to
seven they have been able to halt.
The Phils, whom the Giants had
come to regard as easy touches,
have won seven and lost seven in
competition with the league LEADERS.
They added two games to their total
yesterday by defeating the Terry
men in double-header, IA and
6-3. They walloped Hal Schu-
macher out of the box in the first
game, while Bucky Walters held
the Giants at bay, and in the night
cap, Curt Davis outpitched Carl
Hubbell to beat the Giants ace for
the third time this season,
Cubs Stop Pirates
A game and a half was shaved
from the Giant lead as the Cubs de
feated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-5.
The other National League teams
were unscheduled
The Detroit Tigers increased their
American League lead to five games
by defeating the Chicago White Sox.
So, while the second place New
York Yankees were losing, 9-5, to
the Philadelphia Athletics. The
Cleveland Indians and st. Louis
Browns split a double-header, the
Indians winning the first, 1913, and
losing the nightcap, 9-5. Other
teams we're unscheduled.

The Washington times., 1935-10-31

The game marks the start of
the second half of the 1885 C. U.
slate, and from present indications
it looms as a toSSup, what with
two Cardinal regulars on the side
lines nursing injuries.
1t was believed last night that
Capt. Ed Karpowich would be
ready to start the game, although
Coach Dutch Bergman is far from
satisfied with the physical condi-
ton of his star tackle. There is
still a possibility that Karp will
ride the bench in the De Paul
fracaS, and only in case Of an
emergency will the Red Bird cap
tain be pressed into service.
Wary of Chances
The Cardinal mentor is wary of
taking any chances with his in
jured gridders because Of the tough
games that still remain on the
c. U. slate. There is high hopes,
however, that Irish Carroll viii. be
well enough to take his turn
against west Virginia Wesleyan
next Saturday in the Griffith Sta
dium as well as the other cripples
on the squad, with the exception
of AL Secino, who is definitely
out Of the C. U. lineup for the
remainder of the season.
Regardless of the outcome Of
the battle, it is believed that a
much larger delegation than well
coined the C. U. squad home from
the Detroit victory will be on hand
at the Union Station to receive
the returning Cardinal team.
Plans are now underway to make
this welcome the biggest ever.
Stage Scrimmage
Yesterday the Cardinals finally
got in good scrimmage with the
freshman.
Tomorrow afternoon the C. o.
eleven is scheduled to work out
in the mammoth Soldier Field,
scene Of Saturdays clash and it
is believed that at this time Coach
Dutch Bergman will have some
thing definite as to his starting
lineup.

Witt, a 210-pounder, astounded
Austin fans last Saturday when,

runs against Texas University,
he blocked out the Longhorn
end and halfback. Despite his
bulk, Witt is the best pass re-

average ability. His field goal
defeated Louisiana State, 1T,
