Giants Advance
To First Place
BY LAYTON CARVER


International News Service Sports Writer
Soft touches in the East, while
the Cards and Cubs are battling
the tough Western competition,
leaves the Giants in a position to
move into the National League
leadership within the next few
hours.
The Giants had their tenth
straight victory today and nestled
just a half game behind the
Cards, who were beaten again,
while the Cubs scored a victory.
The Giants won from the Bees
yesterday with masterful pitching.
They sent Frank Gabler out to
start it and for eight innings he
allowed a total of only four hits.
At this point he had 3-to-0 shut
out in his grasp. When the Bees
pelted out three straight hits in
the ninth, Dick Coffman was
called on to stop them and at the
finish the Giants still were in
front, 3 to 2.
The Cards were going all right
with Pop" Jess Haines on the hill
against the Pirates until the
fourth, when hits began to whistle
about the premises, four runs clat-
tered home and the Pirates were
under way to 5-to-4 win, credited
to Red Lucas.
With Lee on the hill the Cubs
stayed on the heels of the lead
ers with a 7-to-2 win over the
Reds in the only other National
League game.
The Yankees gave none Of
their American League compa-
triots any cause for jubilation-
winning again, 4 to l, from the
Red Sox, whose Wesley Ferrell
failed to finish. Monte Pearson
went the limit for the Yanks and
allowed only four hits, one being
Rick Ferrell'S homer for the Sox'
only score.
Weatherly provided the margin
of victory for the Indians with
a pair of home runs that beat
the Browns, 4 to 2.
The Tigers bounced out OF
what appeared to be a certain
defeat with a four-run rally in
the eighth and trimmed the White
Sox, 8 to 6, and the veteran
Horace Lisenbee hurled the AS
to a 3-to-2 win over the Senators

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-Two
hands were down when Joe Kuhel
stepped up and fired the first
Washington hit. Twas a two
Dagger against the right-field
fence. Stone fired a double to
right and Reynolds scratched a
single. Two runs we're over the
plate just like that.
Bucky Harris seems to think
that Ray Phebus, of the Albany
Senators, will be a great help to
the Griffs. But he will not report
until September.
AL Niemiec had terrible time
in the field. Reynolds slapped a
grounder just out of his reach,
and behold! Cliff Bolton got a
double on a bouncer that the
second Sacker should have fielded.
NewSom put down a possible
Indian insurrection in the last
half of the second. Bob johnson,
the SwediSh-SiwaSh, went down on
strikes, swinging with great guSto,
not to say power.
The plight of Babe Herman is
one that touches the heart strings
of Brooklyn fans. The eccentric
fly mangler never should have
been permitted to leave GowanuS.
The public understood him and
he understood the public. If he
muffed a fly they cheered. When
they tossed out trench helmets
and umbrellas, Babe hailed their
action as the ultimate in humor.
Babe hasn't been the same since
he left-and neither have the
Dodgers.
George Pipgras, former Yankee
pitcher, was a visitor at Shibe
Park yesterday. He is umpiring
in the New York-Penn League and
doing right we'll.
This was the beginning Of a

GRlST OF THE GRIFFS
By Frank "Buck" O'NeiII

>man made a very ill-adviSed effort
for a shoestring catch on John
sons Sinker and the drive went
for a triple, scoring Dean. Then
Higgins singled and the AS were
in the lead.
Newsom had plenty Of stuff on
the ball. He famed johnson and
Higgins in the second, and follow
ing by setting down LSenbee and
Niemiec in the third.
One Of the quaintest decisions
yet seen was that made by Charley
Johnston in the fourth inning. AL
Niemiec tagged out KresS on the
lines and then doubled Bluege at
first. To the utter amazement Of
all hands, Johnston ruled KresS
safe at second. this blunder was
worse than the one Johnston
pulled on Boston when he failed
to cover a play at second base at
a critical point in a game with
the Red Sox.
Problem: Add one plus one and
make three out of it.
That's easy and the fourth in
ming proves it. johnson nit to left
for one single. Stone made one
error and the result was three
bases.
Lou Finney made an inglorious
muff of a line drive by Joe Kuhel
in the fifth inning, and the first
Sacker went to third base.
Bluege got the jump on Deans
smash in the sixth inning and
stepped on second base to force
Moses. His effort to double the
hitter at first base just did fail.
Stones boot and Chappie's blum
der in judgment were costly.
It's a wonder to this observer
that Connie Mack does not rise
in his wrath and shoot some Of
the blundering hams who wear his
uniforms.
