Cubs we ought to be able to get
back at the top Of the National

Warneke Defeats Giants for
18th Win-Cards Hang
On, Beating Dodgers.
BY ANDY CLARKE,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

A PERUSAL Of the records shows
" that the steadiness of the
~ Cubs pitchers has been the
4 n most salient factor In the me-
teoric advance Of Chicago in the
National League.
The Cubs have used only one
pitcher in each Of IL Of the Is con-
secutive games they have won while
their rivals, the Cards and the Giants,
have seen their fingers shelled into
the showers on various occasions dur
ing that span.
In the past Is games, Paul Dean
has gone the distance three times for
the Cards, his brother Dizzy, twice.
and Phil Collins, once. Relief pitch
ers finished the ether games
Hubbell pitched three entire games
for the Giants. and Schumacher one,
but in the other nine the twirlers
found the row too tough to hoe and
were beckoned from the field.
Retain Two-Game Edge.
THE Cubs subdued the Giants, SO,
behind the seventh pitching Of
Warneke yesterday, that pitcher
recording his nineteenth victory Of
the season. The win kept the Cubs
two games ahead of the second place
Cards and showed the New York team
Az games TO the rear.
Thirty thousand pennant-mad fans
howled with glee as the betting Cubs
knocked holes in Terry's experiment
Of starting rookie, Harry Gumbert,
against the league leaders.
The Chicago batsmen, apparently
resenting the affrontery of attempting
to stop them with a tyro. answered
by knocking out eight hits for five
runs before the former Baltimore
hurler was called away. Two other
pitchers followed Gumbert and were
more effective, but the game had then
been sailed away.
Cards Call a Halt.
THE Cards, arising from the dust of
three straight defeats at the
hands of the Giants. defeated the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 10. in a mound
duel between Paul Dean and Van
Mungo. Dean held the Dodgers to
six hits while striking out six and
giving but one base on balls. while
Van Mungo allowed only five hits,
famed seven. but gave four batters
free tickets to the first station.
The Cards punched three Of their
hits in the first inning to score their
all-important tally. Frisch's single
scored Moore.
Sammy Byrd vhaled out a single
in the eleventh inning to break up
mound duel between two rockies as
the Cincinnati Reds defeated Phila-
delphia, 80 Jim Biven for the Reds
and Lee Grisson for the Phils we're the
rockies who turned in good perform

Looking Back.
THE shift in this sporting whirl can

THE shift in this sporting whirl can
come in q hurry.
The majority of the experts or
soothsayers are picking Louis to stop
Baer inside of 10 rounds.
Yet I recall o talk l had with Max
last Winter in Florida. asked him
how long he expected to be champion.
This was the answer: Jack Dempsey
was champion for seven years and I
can see no reason why shouldn't
last that long at the top. AS it is
now, there isn't any one in sight to
make even good fight or draw any
money. I'm supposed to fight some
body next June-but who can they
find that's any good out of this
bunch?"
That dream Of a seven-year reign
became a nightmare last June.
And now Baer has just one week left
to get ready for another entry who
looks far more dangerous than Jim
Braddock could ever hope to look.
Dempsey lasted seven years on top
and Gene Tunney could certainly have
gone along as far il he had cared to
hang around, which he didn't. Ger
tainly Sharkey and Schmeling never
would have turned Gene of the road.
The general angle among most
sporting writer's is this: ANY one who
looked as terrible as Baer looked
against Braddock in a championship
fight has got to prove that he still
c. fight before you can pick him
again to win-especially against the
best-looking fighter he has ever met"
That seems to be a pretty fair
answer. It takes lot of faith among
those who picked Baer to beat Brad
dock to stand pat and pick Baer to
beat Joe Louis. Yet I know one or
two who picked Braddock to beat
Baer who now are picking Baer to
win. That shows you how compli-
Gated the situation can be.

HOLMES
SERIOUSLY ILL
Friends of Former Member

The venerable former Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes was so seriously i'll

ton to be by his side.
THE justice is i'll and at his age
all illness Is seriousS' was all his
doctor, Thomas A. Clayton, would say.
Around the Supreme Court, where
Mr. Holmes served 20 years until his
retirement In January, 1892, it was
understood he was afflicted with bron-
chial pneumonia.
Meanwhile, Prof. Felix Frankfurter
and John G. Palfrey left Boston to
be near their old friend. The latter
is his legal and business representa-
tive.
March 9 is Mr.. Holmes next BIRTH
day anniversary, the Gath. On his
birthday the year before last Presi-
dent Roosevelt honored him with a
visit.
Since his retirement, the justice has
been in seclusion at his residence
here, a short distance from the White
House, 1920 l street northwest.
DR.. Clayton said periodic bulletins
on his patients condition would not
be issued.
The hosts Of friends of the justice
in the city waited eagerly for word
of his condition.
