Chapman is just about as fast
today as when he broke in with
the Yankees half a dozen years
ago.
The Browns kindly blundered at
the right time to make the task
of the Griffs relatively easy. This
was right nice of them, for Jimmy
DeShong needed a bit of help
from some source other than the
team. To tell the truth, DeShong
didn't have a thimbleful of stuff,
and you kept waiting for the ex-
plosions to burst on your ears.
But the only explosions were in
the defense of the Mound City
laddies.
DeShong was nudged for dozen
hits, and with weaker support he
might have been removed from
the game early in the afternoon.
However, tits all well that ends
well, and DeShong continued in
the ranks of leading pitchers with
nine victories and three defeats.
Red Kress was walking around
this morning shaking his carrot
topped dome and muttering about
the perversity of luck. In the sec
ond inning a bad break robbed

games most brilliant play. With
Cary on second, there because of
a single and a wild pitch, Guiliani,
the Brownie catcher Slashed one
toward left field. KresS swooped
on the ball and tried for play at
third. Well, in the first place the
ball stuck in the webbing of Reds
glove, and then he threw like a
shot putter with a result that the
ball got through for an error.
Not even the fact that he and
Johnny Stone made four hits be-
tween them could make Red feel
better, but four hits for the room
was fair enough.

campaign, thoroughly dominated
by the New York Yankees and
Boston Red Sox, in the National
today the St. Louis Cardinals lead
the Chicago Cubs by ~ games,
with the Pittsburgh Pirates only
31a from the top and the fourth
place New York Giants still among
the contenderS four games in ar
rearS.
Yesterday, the Cubs bounced
back from a couple of defeats to
whip the Boston Bees, 8 to 6, with
a five-run Splurge in the seventh,
when Frank Demaree hit his
eighth homer with two on.
Cards Hard Pressed
Meanwhile, the Cards were hav-
ing tough shedding in Subduing
Philadelphia, to 2, the victory
being accomplished by Pepper
Martin with a double that drove
over two runs in the eighth. Dizzy
Dean again was called to the
rescue.
The Giants made it two in a
row over the Pirates, this score
also being 3 to 2, with Harry Gum
bert hurting a shutout until the
eighth when both Pirate runs
were scored.
, HomerS by Terry and White
head and Mancuso's triple gave
the Giants their margin.
Allows Five Hits
Bill Hallahan held the Dodgers
to five hits as the Cincinnati Reds
scored a 3-to0 victory.
In the American League, the
Yankees took it on the chin, IS to

who piled up 10 hits. Vernon

That defeat and the Red Sox

ner, which was no fault of AL

BAT Star
By SID KATZNELL

It seems there's drama in every
sports victory this day and age.
Fee" Colliere, chubby red-faced
catcher, who has played a prom
inent role in numerous Heurich
victories this season, including
the Brewers 6-to-5 triumph over
the Coffey Sales Monday after
noon, was forced to watch his
mates win the first half Indus
trial Baseball League champion
ship yesterday from the bench.
The veteran receiver and cap
tain sprained his ankle while
working yesterday morning, just
four hours before game time.
StahI Offers Services
When Bill Flester, manager of
the Beermen, heard about the
accident he nearly went crazy.
He paced up and down the floor
of the Heurich office yelling
who will catch today?"
He stopped when "Huck" Stahl,
regular shortstop, volunteered to
go behind the bat. Huck said:
1--WE had some experience be-
hind dhe bat and I'll do my !
best"
StahIs best was great. He not
only caught a beautiful game, but
was the offensive star for the
Brewers, driving out a single,
triple and home run in three
times to plate.
With Stahl playing excellent
ball and Pitcher Jack Hudson, of
Coffey Sales walking nine men
and making three wild pitches,
the Brewers experienced little diff
ficulty in defeating Coffey Sales,
9 to S, to win the first half crown.
Heurich won the first game of
the series Monday, 6 to 5, in 10
innings after a torrid battle.
Shout" Taylor, who has been
pitching baseball for a good many
years, but who is still young
ster, turned in a neat job for the
Brewers. He limited the Statesmen
to seven hits and struck out four.
GiOvanetti Losers Ace
Carl Giovanetti, second base
man, stood out for the losers, get
ting a homer and a single in four
trips to the plate.
