~HIcAGo. July 14.-Presenting
the Chicago White Sox play
ers, direction Of James Jo-
seph Dykes, in a new skit
entitled Don't Let Our Clutches
Fool You"
The White Sox troupe, by all rules
and regulations, should be giving
very bad performance at this date
on base balls American League
stage. A team which originally fig
ured to be none too good and then
ran into one bad break after another
in the form Of injuries has no busi-
ness embarrassing such clubs as the
league leading New York Yankees.
Sock Leading Teams.
RUT that is what Director Dykes
and his crew of cripples have been
doing for the past 10 days, in which
they won exactly 8 out of II starts,
including two out of three games from
the naughty New York club Start
ing on July 3, the Sox took four out
of five games from Cleveland, two
out of three from Boston,s Gold Plates
and then hooked the series from the
Rupert Rifles at Yankee Stadium.
Consider some of the blows the
scrappy Sox have taken this season:
Mule" Haas suffered a fractured
finger. charley horse and was hit
by pitched ball; Luke Appling was
out of several games with an injured
leg, as Mike Kreevich is now; Dyke
hurt his leg, and the reserve who took
his place. Joe Morrissey, suffered a
broken jaw when hit by a ball; Larry
Rosenthal was purchased from st.
Paul and then was forced out with
leg injury; Ray (Rip) Radclif crashed
into q wall and was forced out for a
time.
Radcliff Comes to Life.
RUT individually. as well as COL
lectively. the Sox haven't stayed
down after those breaks. Appling is
among the leagues leading hitters,
while Radcliff, who warmed the bench
last May and almost despaired of ever
getting regular job. is hitting .37s,
just six points behind league-leading
Lou Gehrig of New York
Before the season started Dykes
promised he'd have a club that would
make trouble for every other outfit in
the league. II his crew keeps going
it's a cinch to win the 1886 giant
killer" award.

So Myer Remained Here.

DOUBT whether weeping with base
= ball club owners ever will become
a popular American sport, but If it is
possible to muster widespread SYM
pathy for these august gents, it would
seem that now the time is ripe.
Let's 60 back to Buddy Myer. Last
year he won the American League bat
ting championship and all base ball
cast covetous eyes on him. Jake Rup-
pert of the Yanks openly came out
during the Winter meeting and made
an astounding offer of cash, plus Tony
Lazzeri, for him.
Several obstacles were in
Grifftn's path. First, the Old
Fox was rebuilding and he
wanted to make sure his nucleus
was good ball player. Thus was
Myer nominated to fill the bill.
Secondly, he may have feared vio-
lent reaction on the part of Capital
fans, especially if the Yanks breezed
home with the flag. That's part Of
the reason why he pinned the prepos-
ferrous price tag of s500,000 on Buddy.
Think of how Griff would be sit
ting If he sold Myer to Rupert, who
seemed willing to give $3.50, 900. Buddy
has been ailing since the season
opened. There's no telling when he'll
get back into the lineup. And, with
out Lazzeri, where would New York
have been?

Also Is Developing.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~HICAGO, July 14-National
League pitchers cannot make
out what has come over Bill
~ Jurges, the Cub shortstop.
In five previous campaigns with the
Bruins, Jurges always was a weak
brother at the plate. He batted 1863
back in 1893, but his lifetime per-
centage in the National is only .245,
and whenever William approached the
plate, a pitcher well could figure he
was out of danger.
Jurges suffered an arm injury early
this season and was out for quite
run of games. On returning to the
field, Bill began bashing the day.
lights out of the ball and shows no
sign of letting up. Recent averages
rate him with 1907 percentage and
he's getting his hits in the pinches.
Jurges' new brand of hitting has lot
to do with the Cubs solid charge for
first place in the National pennant
race.

Herman Handy With Bat.


HERMAN is having grand season
IL at the plate, and is leading the
league in doubles. All of which keeps
wrinkles from the noble brow OF
Charles John Grimm.
Durocher, by the way, also Is having
grand Summer at batting. For
eight seasons, Leo was kept in the
majors by his fielding and when with
the Yankees on the American League
side he generally was known as the
all-America out. For considerable
time this season, Durocher was over
the 800 line and is hitting a .290 pace
at the moment.
You don't account for the increased
batting power Of Jurges and Du-
rocher any more than for the i'm
provement of Dolph Camilli, the
Philly first baseman. Chicago swapped
Camilli because he could not supply
the batting punch Charlie Grimm
wanted at first base and last year he
did only PSI in the Phillies' Tom
Thumb Park.
This season, Camilli began hitting
with unexpected ferocity and there
has been no slump in his work. His
1856 average makes him top man
among National League regulars and
many of his hits have been for extra
bases.

n YEw YORK, July 14-The
nj United States Olympic budget
VI was virtually balanced today,
and the largest team Uncle
Sam ever sent to the games was
ready to sail tomorrow for Hamburg
Around 375 athletes, their trials
finished, their bags packed, their dol
lars transferred into German marks,
were looking longingly at the Liner
Manhattan.
The passage of all these athletes
may not be paid when the liner sails,
but it will be by the time the ship
touches shore again. The cash on
hand today was s21,44757 short of
the amount needed to pay the ex-
penses of the American group, but re-
ceipts from the final track and field
trials at Randall's Island last week
end have not been counted. They are
estimated at s25 1000.
Gustavus T. Kirby, treasurer Of the
American Olympic Committee, gave
the members of three of Uncle Sans
teams a restless night last night. He
found that the field hockey team
still needed 1929; the women's
swimming team, $500, and the wom-
ems track team, S3,323.
Must Pay Up-Or Else.
LIE INSTRUCTED the officials OF
= these teams to come up with those
amounts by noon or cut their squads.
Half field hockey team is no good
so the boys on this outfit offered to
give a note to the committee for the
full amount. Kirby would not accept
it. They then went hunting for some
one whose name would assure loan
from New York bank.
The fate of the other two teams de-
pended principally on their ingenuity
and the size of the gate receipts from
the Randalls Island meet. If this
money is raised, the womens swim
ming team will have II members. It
it is not, only 10 will go.
Though the committees immediate
concern is in getting the best and the
most athletes possible on the Man
haitian, it also has to concentrate on
raising about $4,000 to pay the run
ming expenses of the Olympic Com
mittee and the committees $25.O00
obligation to the permanent America
Olympic Association.
Kirby would like to take in enoueh
money to pay the boys who had to d
into their pockets to finance their ov.

furious battle the Cards and
Cubs are staging in the National
League-trouble seems to be lurking
Just around the corner for those
bludgeoning New York Yankees.
Since their stride was broken a
week ago by the three-day lay-off for
the an-star game, the Yanks have
had trouble regaining the form that
put them far out in front in the
American League. They wound up
yesterday with short count against
the White Sox when silent" John
Whitehead held them to five hits for
a 6-to-3 triumph.
Counting out their 1870 rout of
Cleveland the Yanks have scored only
IA runs in five contests and four of
them were homers by Lou Gehrig,
who apparently won't be stopped by
anything. Their opponents tailed
So times in those same games.
Gehrig Is Carrying On.
CEHRIG smacked his twenty fourth
homer of the season yesterday
with Red Rolfe on base to account for
two of the Yanks' runs as he pulled
ahead of Jimmie Foxx to take the
major league lead
Just to make the prospect look
darker. the Yanks, starting tomorrow,
have 70 take on the Tigers, who are
beginning to look Like the team that
won last years world SERIES
Detroit, which has climbed from
fifth place to second inside of three
weeks, hung up its twelfth victory in
Is starts by routing the Athletics, to
2, yesterday. Young Roxie Lawson
scattered nine Philadelphia hits, while
Charley Gehringer led the attack on
Ross and Gumpert with two doubles
and single, scoring three runs.
Cleveland's Indians moved up to tie
Boston for fourth place by routing the
Red Sox, II to 8, while Washington
tightened its hold on third with a go
decision over the Browns.
In the senior circuit the woes which
have been besetting the Cardinals

way of line drive Saturday kept
right on coming even though they
had no game scheduled and old Diz
continued to improve.

W Cubs defeated the Giants, to o,
and moved into the lead a few per-
centage points ahead of st. Louis.
Big Bill Lee set the Giants down with

Chicago only half that number.
Tiny Jim Chaplin of the Bees cele-
brated his twenty-ninth birthday by
giving Boston six-hit pitching Job

LURES Flash Afeld.


EVEN as a .245 batter, Jurges was
- one Of the Cubs most valuable
cogs. There's NO shortstop in the
business who can outf1eld him; not
even Lippy Durocher Of the Cardi-
mails, who is a sweet fielding machine.
Jurges has q stronger arm than the
St. Louis star and some of his throws
from deep short and when out Of po-
sition are nothing short Of miracu-
lous. Bill has no equal In travelling
to his right.
When Jurges was injured this Spring
the club medico declared he might be
out for the season. But not William;
his bones are of tough material and
he's not only as good as ever, he's
better.
Jurges and Billy Herman undoubt-
edly form the best second-base COM
bination in the big leagues. Herman
is a fast, handy fielder, who covers
an immense amount of ground.
Smooth on pivot. he handles Jurges'
heavy throws with superlative skill,
and the pair are responsible for the
