MAY HELP GIANTS
Hope for Dodgers to Hold
Cards While Terrymen
Struggle With Cubs.
BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR.


Associated Press Sports Writer.
TINE New York Giants. who were
beaten out Of the National
League pennant last season
Il largely because their neighbors,
the Dodgers, resented a now-famous
wise crack by Bill Terry, were forced
TO turn to those same Dodgers for
help today as they faced dangerous
attacks from two sides.
After two straight defeats by Chi
cago, the Giants had their hands full
trying to turn back the Cub assaults
and it was up to Brooklyn to check
the Cardinals. who were only one
game away from the top.
The Gas House Gang" from st.
Louis chopped the Giant lead to one
contest yesterday by betting over the
Dodgers twice, 6 to l and IL to 5,
while the Cubs were trouncmg the
Giants for the second straight time,
7 to4. That laid the battle lines for
a stirring week end struggle for the
lead today and tomorrow with the
Cubs and Giants meeting twice more
and the Dodgers and Cards engaging
in three contests.
Hartnett Hurts Ankle.
THE Cards slammed Watson Clark
for Is blows while Rookie Ed
Heusser checked the Dodgers with
8. They connected II more times to
win out on q seven-run rally in the
sixth after Phil Collins checked q
Dodger uprising.
The Cubs meanwhile hammered
away at Clydell Castleman and finally
drove him out in the sixth inning.
scoring two runs to break tie, and
continued at the expense Of Allyn
Stout. In all they made Is hits and
drew seven passes. Gabby Hartnett,
Cubs catcher and leading hitter, hurt
his left ankle slightly sliding for home
in the fifth and will be Handicapped
for the rest Of the series.
The individual performances Of
Schoolboy Rowe and Lou Gehrig stood
out in t-e days work Of the American
League as the Tigers and Yankees
marched along seven games apart.
Rowe both pitched and batted Detroit
to a 6-to-0 triumph over the Red Sox,
allowing only four hits and socking a
homer and double to drive in three
tallies. Gehrig's bat hoisted the
Yanks to a 13-inning 6-to-3 triumph
over the Browns. He hit two home
runs, the second coming with two
aboard in the thirteenth to break up
the game. That brought his seasons
total to %.
Washington won its third straight
over the White Sox, to 3, in 10 in
nings. That put Chicago in fifth
place and out of the first division for
the first time this season. The In
dians jumped from NTH to third with
q l0-to-l triumph over the Athletics.
Boston went into fourth.
Pittsburgh's Pirates opened their
series at Boston with o 7-to-5 victory
over the Braves. The Reds and Phil
lies had an Of day, their game being
moved back for today's double bill.

doesn't mind now. Despite

Gilbert showed up yesterday to run
anchor on Hamilton Fairgrounds 100
pound relay team. His quartet didn't
whit didn't even place-but the
plucky little italian lad doesn't feel
too bad about it. He gave his best
and has no alibi.
Gilbert's spirit was q cross-section
Of the stout hearted exhibition given
by more than 1000 Of Washington
boys yesterday at Central Stadium
when Joe Mitchelrs Sherwood ath-
letes triumphed in the thirteenth an
nual playground track and field meet
by scoring-3625 points to win out over
last years champion, Virginia Avenue,
which Tailed 28 points.
Two Lads Disqualified.
EARLIER in the day Richard S.
- Tennyson, assistant supervisor Of
Fairgrounds, gave Virginia Avenues
title hopes a severe jolt by disqualify-
ing two of its athletes for residence
in Maryland. Howard Mizell had
leaped to q new record In the 100
pound high Jump and his brother
Jerry, had placed second in 115-
pound event to give their team 8
points. Virginia Avenue would have
repeated with SO points, edging out
Sherwood by 13s points, had not Ten
nyson made the discovery.
Eight records fell before the con-
centrated attack Of the heterogeneous
mixture Of men in the making. Out
standing among these was the 20-foot
9.inch leap Of Jesse Williams. Eek
ington, in the restricted unlimited
class broad jump. breaking q record
held by Tom Sweeney, johnson. OF
20 feet 3A inches in 1880.
The Way brothers, Douglas and
John, garnered 10 points for Hamil-
ton by gaining first places in the 10
and IS pound high jump events.
Douglas, little freckle-faced mite,
hurled his 10 pounds over 4 feet 9
inches to break an old mark held by
M. Quigley, Hamilton, Of 4 feet 6
inches in 1888.
John Leese, former Tech High track
man, logged to new mile mark Of
4:44.7 to better q mark held by George
Cleveland, johnson, Of 4:5o.2 set last

unlimited class to crack the old mark
Of IL seconds, which was held by Bill
Thompson Of Thomson and d. Men
kin, Truesdale, made in 1888.
Wilbur Perry, Bud Davis, Melvin

gir'a Avenue record when the flashy
four sprinted 400 meters in the re-
stricted unlimited class in 48.f, break
ing q mark made in 1888 by Rosedale
Of 4e3s seconds.

Powell and Starr did right nobly.

sharp grounder to Jake, who threw
him out, and then Travis tossed out
Simmons. Successive singles by Dykes
and Appling. however, made the sit
uation tense again, but Russell forced
Hayes to ground to Powell, who again
handled an infield chance perfectly.

Not Even Louis Worries Max.

RUT Make is not worrying about
anything else-particularly not
about Joe Louis, the gentleman on
whom he will lay his four-star, smash

possible a month from now.
I'll keep laying them in the basket"

body. I'll hit him so hard down
there that he won't have time to think
about throwing punch at me-"
While the doctors we're painting with
rapture, and while Max was signing
Louis death certificate. Mr.. Mike
Jacobs was delivering a brief and
sordid monologue on the commercial
aspects of the coming fight.
II don't predict anything sensa-
tional," said Don Miguel, but We
may have a million-dollar gate. It'll
go over $750,000 anyway. It's scaled
for SIS tops, down to So, and with the
amount Of interest there is in these
two fighters the crowd might 60 as
high as 10000"
Mr.. Jacobs rolled these digits and
ciphers of his tongue with consider
able relish. This, naturally, was Of
fensive to the physicians, who cared
for nothing but the scientific and
aesthetic pleasure Of studying Baer's
hands. They had to admit that Mr..
Jacobs interest in the matter of cash
was inevitable, but they deplored it.
"The hands are the important
things" said one beauty-loving croak-
er. They might have been moulded
by a Greek"
II can lick any Greek that ever
lived" said Make Baer.
-Four times six is twenty-four and
carry two" muttered Mike Jacobs
with beautific smile.
In fight business, everything de-
pends on the point of view.

them. One noble-looking old medico
said he had come from way down
yonder," wherever that is, to see the
show.
Il like it because it's clean" he
explained. ITS something I can take
my grandson to see, as soon as he gets
his degree"
And can tell you in corroboration
that Makes hands were very clean
indeed. So was Make. He had
mooched all the way down from his
training camp in Speculator, N. Y,
to make this appearance. He gave a
great performance, from the moment
he laid his dukes on the table till
the moment he took them OF. He
followed the comment closely.
That's a lovely capular thicken-
ing" said one of the docs.
"Where?" demanded Max, looking
around with interest.
Right there in the second knuckle
of the third finger of the right hand"
"Oh, glad you like it," said Max
shyly. Its nothing. really"
When the congress of physicians
had set the stamp of their approval
on Baer's mits with a small tack
hammer. the fighter admitted that
he felt the same way about it him
self.
II had a hunch they were In good
shape" he said. IF they weren't,
how could punch so hard? I am
worrying already about the sparring
partners I will have to cripple for
life as soon as the real training gets
under way"

n YEW YORK, August 24-The
IN medical profession turned out

chiropractors were present at this his
toric ceremony, joStling and showing
in a dignifed way for a seat in the
front row.
I always thought that when you've

otherwise about 1t. They examined

FOR GOLD RETURN
Bills introduced Call for
Yellow Metal Payment
by U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gold became a definite issue in
Congress today with the introduction
Of bills by two Republicans-Senator
Barbour Of New Jersey and Repre-
sentative Hollister of Ohio. They call
for payment Of the yellow metal on
Government obligations which have
gold clauses.
"I believe" Barbour said yesterday,
that in spite Of the recent decision
of the Supreme Court we should not
lose sight Of the fact that the Gov
ernment Of the United States has
made a solemn promise, or contract,
which 1t later repudiated."
Some Republicans said privately
they found a note of new liberalism"
In former President Hoover's state
ment advocating return to the gold
standard. They noted that the fol-
mer Chief Executive did not advocate
a return to the old gold dollar nor to
free and easy circulation of the
metal. He proposed making the pres
ent 5s-cent dollar payable in gold
bullion.
Agrees With Hoover.
Senator Hastings, Republican, OF
Delaware, was among the Repubh-
cans who agreed publicly with Mr..
Hoover, while some others, including
Senators Nye and Norris, thought diff
ferently. Norris said the people had
had enough of Hoover's hanging on
to the gold standard" Among DEM
ocrats who attacked the statement
was Senator Bone of Washington,
who considered it ION a par with the
Republican leadership"
While Democrats fought among
themselves in the Senate yesterday
over the administrations gold poll
cies, Republicans sat back in silence,
preferring to let their political op-
ponents emphasize the split within
their ranks.
There was no public comment from
three prominent G. o. P. leaders
Senators Vandenberg Of Michigan
and McNary Of Oregon, and former
Secretary Of the Treasury Ogden L.
Mills.
The high light of yesterdays SEN
ate debate was the assertion of Sem
ator Connally, Democrat, of Texas
that the United States already was
on gold standard and should avoid
the old system which brought de-
struction"
Immediately Senator Glass, DEM
ocrat, Of Virginia, repeatedly at odds
with Roosevelt monetary policies,
popped up to shout:
I'VE are on fiat currency basis
and following the decision of the
Supreme Court on a fiat bond basis"
Court Ruling Hit.
'"rhe Supreme Court has answered

nally retorted.
