Bob Kiesel, Emmett TOPPING, Hec-

coaches had said the four speed

the world mark.
Owens running the No. l posi-

CARDS. CUBS GIANTS BATTLE
FOR SENIOR LOOP LEADERSHIP
CLEVELAND NINE
DOWNS SOX IN
AMERICAN TILT

NEW YORK, Aug. g. UH - The
National League pennant race shows
every sign today of developing into
a three team struggle that won't be
settled until the closing days of the
campaign.
The Chicago Cubs are back in the
running, a protracted batting slump
terminated.
The st. Louis gas house gang
speaks for itself.
The New York Giants, who over
the past month have flashed a more
consistent brand of baseball than
either, are edging ever upward.
Seven straight, 13 wins in % games,
epitomizes the surge. Today they
are only five games behind the
pace setting Cardinals three be-
meath the runner-up Cubs.
The Cubs ended their hit famine
with a roar Friday, blasting five
st. Louis pitchers for 18 safeties
and a 14-5 verdict after three
straight defeats. Willie Herman
and Ethan Allen got three hits
apiece. Frank Demaree, Ken o.
Dea. Augue Calm and even Tex
Carleton, the winning pitcher, got
two each. The one sour note was
foul tip that struck Catcher Gabby
Hartnett on the foot and forced his
removal 10 a hospital for X-Rays.

stage would be a tough blow for

The Giants sailed smoothly along,

ter with a Seven-run barrage in the
fourth as they defeated the Phillies,
9-3.
Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati
twice. 81 and 10. Cy Blanton
pitched the shutout victory, giving
only five hits. Boston and Brook
lyn were idle.
Cleveland defeated the Chicago
White SoX, 81, in the American
League to check the Sox's bid for
second place. A game and half
now separates the teams. Washing
ton defeated the Boston Red Sox,
81, in 10 innings. 1t was heart
break for Yves Fessell, who allowed
only six hits. Jimmy FoXX hit his
32nd home run.

bomber. His fast rushing attack
repeatedly scored against Impe-
rial Valley champ. Graves, how
ever, managed to land the harder
and cleaner punches to take a
Slight edge in every round.
Graves will headline the FL
Centre card next week.
Jack MorriSsette who has also
been signed for a match on next
weeks card, stamped himself as
one Of the best middleWeightS in
the southwest Friday night when
he pounded out a comparatively
easy victory over Ray Vargas, Bert
Colima's prCtege.
George Lujon, who dropped a
decision to Herman Graves a week
ago, beat on Pablo Espudo for
four full rounds Friday night be-
fore he could put the Calipatriar
down for the full count. Lujon
hit the game Espudo with every
thing but the ring posts but his
blows would have been more eff
fective had he had a couple CT
horSeshoes in each glove.
His showing against Espudo
Friday night definitely proved
,that the Santa Ana fighter can
not hope to beat Herman Graves
Tuffy Loudermilk, Holtville
mauler, and Luis Reyes put oG
a whale of battle Friday night
with Loudermilk pulling out q
close decision. The two battlerS
starting throwing punches at the
opening bell and slugged it out
toe to toe until the final gems,
Loudermilk will be seen on next
weeks card in a rematch with
the San Diego fighter.
The Stone -Hinson grudge fight
was a WOW. The two motor car
experts met in the center OF the
ring and threw punches SO fast
and thick that the bout was cut
to three rounds by officials OF
the club. The boys worked SO
furiously that by the end of the
second round neither could even
attempt to hold up his guard.
Hinson held out the longest and
was awarded a k. o. victory over
Stone who wilted to the floor un-
conscious in the third round.
Matchmaker Noel Johnson has
lined up two opponents fer the
clever Hogue twins for next weeks
card. The popular Jacumba fight
ers will meet their stiffest test of
the season when they climb into
the ring next Friday night.

Encouraged by the outstanding
success of the FL Centro athletic
club in promoting amateur boxing
in Imperial Valley, a group OF
Yuma business men recently organ
lied a club in that city.
The Arizonans enlisted the aio
of two Imperial Valley men, for
merly connected with the Brawley
Eagles club TO help line up valley
boys to fight in the Arizona club
The two men, one who controls
the valley fighters in Brawley, an6
the other who manages a string
of amateurs in Calexico, signed a
list Of their charges to take pari
in the fights at Yuma Friday night.
The two managers were aware Of
the fact that California fighters are
not allowed by the state commits
sion to take part in out-of-State
matches without special permission
They disregarded the rule, however,
and as a result the valley boys may
be set down by the commission.
Following is a letter mailed to
the Yuma matchmaker, a copy Of
which was sent by Kay Richmond
A.A.U. representative in El Centre,
definitely stating that California
amateurs will not be permitted to
box in Arizona.
Mr.. WAYNE KRIESELMYER
YUMA, ARIZONA
Dear Mr. Krieselmyer:
In response to your telegram re-
garding the use of amateur boxers
from California.
I am sorry to inform you that
under present conditions I do not
think it best to permit our amateurs
to compete outside Of California,
except in regular state or national
championships and then only as q
team escorted by a coach and a
representative of the So. P. Assn.
Of the AAU.
Wishing you success in your ven
ture, I remain.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS H. cox,
Supervisor of Amateur Boxing
State Athletic Commission OF
California.
Despite this explicit warning, the
Yuma matchmaker used the valley
fighters, thus risking their status
in California.
II is possible that the boys who
took part in the fights in Yuma
Friday night will not be set down

THE TACKLE BOX
By George Buckiin

Good news for fishermen! Ocean
fishing in San Diego off-shore wat
ers is at last beginning to justify
the early season predictions made
for it. After a more or less IN
certain period. during which catch
os were somewhat spotty, the big
cnes started to bite ravenously last
Saturday. Shippers of sport fish
ing craft are now promising that
August, and possibly September
will be the banner months Of the
season.
On August l, 2, 5 fishermen on the
Sea Angler" brought 81 yellowtail
TO gait, OF an average of more thar
apiece for each angler. Other
boats did proportionately as well
On the following day, the Star
Angler, registered a catch of As
yellowtail and the Golden West,
with a small charter party aboaro
accounted for 25 yellowtaiI.
One Of the most gratifying fea-
tdres of the catches being recorded
Is the size Of the yellowtail caught
These have been averaging from 1e
to 20 pounds, all in first class condi-
ton.
Several overSized white sea bass
have recently been taken as troph-
les on the sport fishing boats but
fer some unknown reason these
pastel shaded beauties are not eli
gible in this years fishing derby.
Nevertheless they are fine eating
and a credit to the successful ang-
ler who brings them home.
Tremendous numbers of unusual
~ large barracuda are daily being
brought into port by returning fish
ermen. Reports from along the
tmbareadero indicate the Snakes
are more abundant this season than
they have been for the past several
years.

bill. The above catches were re-
ported by sport fishing boat opera
tors and verified, according TO the
Il. & NJ. Sport Fishing company,
which operates its fleet of boats
from the foot of Broadway.
On Thursday of this week, fish
ing really came into its own. Some
Of the outstanding catches were as
follows: Star Angler" 79 yellow
tail; Sea Angler" I02 yellowtail
and the Virginia" 46 yellowtail and
one tuna.
Anglers who prefer fishing barges
TO boats will be interested in know
ing that recent catches made on
the Point Iona" and Ike Walton"
anchored off Point Iona, have
been nothing short of phenomenal
On August 3, anglers on these two
tine barges ran up the following
scores: yellowtail, 70; white sea
bass, 48; barracuda. 527 and kelp
bass, $50. Shoreboats leave from
the foot Of Broadway for these
barges daily at 600 am, u noon
and 4 pm.
Although the ocean waters from
the Mexican Coronados to San Die

atively few have been caught. AL
