MATS AND BRAVES
TO FOLLOW REDS
Six Other Clubs FavorabIy
Inclined, While Seven
Definitely Oppose.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, August 22.-Major
league club owners still are sharply
divided over night base ball, tried sue
cessfully this year by the Cincinnati
Reds. but latest indications point def
nitely to its extension in 1886, with
the American League following the
trail blazed by the National.
Previously confined to the minors
and scorned for years by the major
league magnates, night base ball now
is being eagerly discussed and adyo-
Gated by the owners. Several of them
consider the Cincinnati test conclu-
sive and feel that the nocturnal sports
appeal, under certain limitations, will
mean financial salvation" for second
division clubs. Others, like Frank J.
Navin, president of the Detroit Tigers,
are outspoken in their opposition.
Navin recently expressed the opin-
ion night base ball would be the be-
ginning of the end for the major
leagues" but this viewpoint u not
generally shared.
Three Declared Certain.
HERE'S the current lineup, based
on a poll of club officials by the
Associated Press:
Clubs operating or definitely plan
ming night base ball: Cincinnati Reds,
Boston Braves and Washington Sen
ators.
Clubs minded" but inclined
favorably: ST. Louis Cardinals, Chicago
Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago
White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates and st.
Louis Browns.
Clubs definitely opposed: Detroit
Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Boston Red
Sox, New York Giants. New York YAM
KEGS and Brooklyn Dodgers.
Non-commital: Philadelphia Ath-
elites.
From this 1t can readily be seen
that the balance of power on the sub
ject is held by the clubs adopting an
open mind" attitude. The chances
are that most of them will swing to
the support of giving the night game
further trial when the issue comes be-
fore the next annual meetings, in De-
cember. BY that time they will have
the opportunity to digest the results
of Cincinnati's experiment.

CUBS FACE G|ANTS|
FOR LEAGUE Lead
Long String of Fireworks
Due in Final Month of
Diamond Campaign.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

A S THE major league season
~ draws near the final month
~ the schedule calls for one i'm
4 u portant series after another
almost without interruption. So far
there's been no real decision, as the
Cardinals challenged the Giants and
registered only slight gain and the
Yankees and Tigers came out all
square.
Still another Crucial series opens
today as the Giants and the Chicago
Cubs meet with the National League
lead again at stake. The league leaders
have had breathing spell since their
struggle with st. Louis, trimming the
Reds four times running, despite few
close calls. and winding up with a
3-to-0 victory yesterday.
The Cubs have split even in 10
games on the road since the end OF
their great home stand. They slammed
out 81 hits and 81 runs against the
Phillies, but got only an even break
that put them four games of the lead
and one behind the Cards, who trim
med the Braves, 13 to 3, to give Dizzy
Dean his twenty-first mound victory.
Pull Big Rally.
THE Phils withstood the shelling in
the opener to win, 1912, but sue
cumbed to a sixth-inning rally in the
afterpiece. in which is Cubs went to
bat and II scored. The final tally
was 10 to S.
AS against that slugging, the Giants
presented the hurting of Hal Schu-
macher, who blanked the Reds with
eight hits in a keen duel with Gene
Schott to gain his seventeenth victory
of the year and the fifteenth of his
career over Cincinnati. The Cardinal
victory also had its unusual features
as the club had only two assists and
Jim Collins at first handled only one
chance and had no putouts.
Lou Gehrig of the Yankees stepped
in with another record performance
as his club divided a twin bill with
the Browns. Lou belted a home run
with the bases full to lead the way
to a l4-2 triumph in the opener. That
was either his seventeenth, according
to the travelling scribes with the
Yanks, or his eighteenth with the
bases full. according to Gehrig.
Beats Ruth's Record.
A COMPLETE review of his more
= than 1000 games will be needed
to decide the issue, but at any rate he
beat Babe Ruth's lifetime mark of 16
homers with the corners crammed.
Lou went on to hit another homer in
the afterpiece, but Johnny Murphy
couldn't hold the lead and st. Louis
won the game 14-3.
The Yankee split enabled Detroit
to increase its lead to seven games as
the Tigers trimmed the Red Sox twice,
4 to and 8 to 2, with General"
AL Crowder pitching four-hit ball in
the opener Meanwhile Cleveland broke
even with the Athletics, winning the
second game, 3 to 0, behind Lloyd
Browns four-hit fiinging after taking
a 10-5 beating when Jimmie Foxx
smacked his twenty-sixth homer and
Bob johnson his twenty-third. The
White Sox absorbed o 15-to-7 licking
from the Senators.
The Brooklyn Dodgers trimmed the
fourth-place Pirates, 5 to 0, behind
George Earnshaw's six-hit flinging to
win their series, 81.

THE SPORTZIGHT
Serious Buddy Baer and Paul Dean Less
Effective Than Their Play-Boy Brothers.
BUDDY BAER.
(Story on Page C-2.J
RY GRANTLANn RICE

One onswer is that, after bad start,
Dizzy was the first pitcher in either
league to win 20 ball games. What
do they expect him to do? Win every
game he pitches? He has better
earned-run record this year than he
had a year ago.
Paul hasn't done as well this
season as he did last year-but
he can still push that apple
along the line.
He still lacks Dizzy's curve ball and
his change of pace-but he is still a
kid-around 22-with time enough to
learn.
What About Buddy Baer?
WHEN Buddy Baer was Is years
w old he was feet 3 and weighed
230. A year ago, when Buddy was
only step past 18 he was 6 feet 4
or 5 and weighed 255.
Ancil Hoffman worked him down to
238 or thereabouts, which is still
weight enough for a kid of 10, going
on 20. Buddy leans more to his
Scotch mother, He has dark brown
hair and blue eyes. He Is serious
about everything he does.
He has as good q voice as Jack
Doyle and he can punch harder.
Both have been fed set-ups
for 50 long that no one can get
much of line on their actual
ability under fire.
You won't have to worry about
Buddy's heart. He has all the moxie
any one needs. But 19 or 90 is a
young age for an overgrown kid at
tempting to adjust himself to tough
game.
There is one big difference between
Buddy Baer and Paul Dean. Buddy
has a quiet sense Of humor end a
quick comeback.
When I asked Buddy how Max
was picking the Carnera-Louis fight,
Buddy answered, Max can't even
pick the winner in his own fights"
One day in training camp Buddy
told Max that he was going on first
with his workout.
What are you trying to do?" Max
said with a grin. Trying to steal
my show?"
NO." Buddy replied. "Tm
not interested in petty larceny"
There Is no wisecracking angle 20
Paul Dean-no attempt at any come
back. Paul can sit all day and say
nothing-but when you ask him a
question he has a straightaway an
swer-on the shy side, with the final
touch of courtesy.
Buddy Baer is serious-but Paul
Dean Is even more serious and re-
tiring Buddy has quick smile
and Paul almost never smiles at all.
And I've never seen either with an
unpleasant, surly look.

He feels that Miles can be gambled
upon right now as regular outfielder
next season, but Bucky isn't quite
sure. But by playing him almost
every day during the remainder of
the season, a period which yet en-
braces 40 games for the Nationals,
Bucky is fairly certain to satisfy him
self on that score.
Back to weak pitching, the White

Of q trio of errors the latter broke a

Land of Peace

Jerusalem and the Holy Land have
been violent enough, from the days
of Isaiah and Sennacherib to the
present, but the marks of violence
are overshadowed by the peaceful
reverence that lies over the land. A
Crusaders tower reminds one of the
Saracens and Richard the Lion
Hearted. The British cemetery re-
calls the World war. Jaffa was be-
sieged by Napoleon.
But the most important memories
are those surrounding the many
Christian, Jewish and Mohammedan
shrines. Bethlehem, the Mount OF
Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane.
the Church Of the Holy Sepulchre,
The Mosque of Omar, the Wailing
Wall, Rachers tomb. Bethany, the
Sea Of Galilee, round out a picture
Of changing civilizations.
