New York, June ~ - Cup ~
One Days play has. changed the
entire complexion of the National
League pennant race.
Yesterday the New York Giants
looked invincib1e. Today they
were staggering under a double de-
feat by the sixth-place Cincinnati
Reds - beaten by two pitchers
who hadn't won a game all year.
The Giants mae only two runs
in Is innings off Tony freitas and
Leroy Hermann and bowed to the
Reds, Al and 81. It was the
first time in 16 years that Cincin-
natl has won a double-header
from the Giants at the Polo
Grounds. The Reds have won more
games from the Giants than any
other team this season. Their
record is three won, three lost and
one tied.
Surprise!
New York's unexpected setback
paved the way for the fast-flying
Pittsburgh Pirates to challenge the
Giants leadership. Behind Guy
Busfl's stellar pitching, Pittsburgh
BANKED Brooklyn, 40, and moved
into a tie with the idle st. Louis
Cardinals for second place. The
Pirates trail the Giants by 3sgames.
With six players batting over
800 Pittsburgh has won IA of Its
last II games and climbed from
fifth place to within striking dis
lance of the Giants. The Pirates
six 800 hitters are Vaughan .S99,
young, 1872, p. Waner 1922, L.
Waner .31s, Thevenow .31s, and
Jensen .311. suhr, the Pirates
weakest hitter with .237, Is third
in the National League In runs
batted in. with 38.
The Chicago Cubs continued
their nose-dive and dropped 10-4
decision to the Phillies. Augie
Galan hit two homers for the Cubs.
Westerners Wabbly
Eastern clubs almost made a
clean sweep of four double-headers
in the American League. The Chi
cago White Sox gained an even
break with Washington in the
only game won by the west.
The New York Yankees added a,
game to their lead by knocking off
the st. Louis Browns, IA and 9-3.
Charley Ruffing and Vito Tamulis
each won his sixth victory of the
season.
Washington nosed out the White
Sox, 9H8, in the first game but
dropped the second, 90. AL Sim
mons came out of a protracted
batting slump by hitting a home
run with the bases filled in the
first game and another with two
on in the afterpiece.
Lefty Grove and Wesley Terrell
combined to pitch the Boston Red
Sox to triumphs over Detroit, Bel
and So. Each turned in a 5-hit
performance. The double victory
enabled Boston to supplant Detroit
in fourth place.
The Philadelphia Athletics
scored enough in two innings to
beat Cleveland twice, Az and 5-1.
The AS put on a 3-run rally in
the ninth inning of the first game,
and then slugged out five runs in
the first inning of the second.
Bob johnson hit his 18th homer
with two on in the afterpiece.

Aces by the score Of IS to 8. With
most Of the substitutes playing in
the game, the Jrs. did not need the
assistance of the regulars.
Although the umpire made quite
q few errors, the game was full
of action all the way.
Joe Smiley" Runividge, ace
pitcher for the Canal Jrs. allowed
but five hits while he whitfield
eight. Catalina, pitcher for the
Pond Aces. allowed sixteen hits
and famed three. The outfielders
for the Canal Jrs. had little game

winners while Baranoski and Bian-

IT confess don't know what the
end will be-" says Lovelock, the
blond medical student Of New Tea-
land and oxford University, here
to tackle Glenn Cunningham, Bill
Bonthron, Glen Dawson, and Gene
Venzke on the same cinders on
which he lowered the mark for the
mile to minutes rs seconds in
repelling Bonthron in an interna-
tional varsity duel meet two years
ago.
Lovclock speaks from experience.
The curly-haired flyers record
stood less than year. Cunning
ham dropped it to minutes 6.7
seconds in turning back Bonthron
over the same course.

speak of the ultimate" asserts
Lovelock, "but we are always
learning something new about rum

On a single afternoon the amaz.

American Crawl Secret
Lovelock, who originally took
up running build up a leg
broken in a rugger game, is an ex-
ception to the rule that swimming
should be omitted from the run
ner's training schedule.
Indeed, the 1S4-pound star Of
Dunedin credits the American
crawl, which he learned four years
ago, with giving him the secret of
running success.
"It taught me rythm and relax
ation," explains the slender and
boyish Lovelock. II have been do
ing a lot of work lately in the hos
pital, and SO I rested on the way
over. What training I did was in

Lovelock hopes to finish in front
of Cunningham, Bonthron, Daw-

Since February he has run a
number of races, mostly handicap
events against schoolboys, and his
best miles are 4:13 As and 4:19

Lovelock set British mile rec.

race under that figure was hi,

Lovelock has beaten Bonthron

final, and week later on the third
leg of the Anglo-American four
mile relay, when he started five
yards back of the mid-western lu-

The operation which removed
the cartilage from Lovelock's left
knee late in 1898 has not affected
his stride. The injury was the accu-

 Station W1IVB was licensed to Francis Buckley, during the past week, according to an announce ment by the federal communica- tions commission.
 While his license will permit him to communicate with both shore and ship stations, including not only other amateur operators but also government and private busi- ness stations, he will not be allow ed to send any messages for which fee is charged. He will be aI- lowed, however, to both send and receive messages for friends and others, as long as no charge is made.
 In order to obtain his amateur station license, Mir Buckley had to pass an examination showing not only his ability to operate a radio station, but also his technical knowledge of it's construction and maintenance.
