Miss Berg had an even par

RED SOX F|zzLE.
CHANCE TO Gain.
By LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Aug. 12,-ThomaS
Yawkey, the wiStful and open
handed owner of the Boston Red
Sox, has been startled again from
his dreamer is it nightmare?-
of winning an American League
pennant. The safest thing that
can be said about the baseball
situation today is that the Red
Sox will have to hustle to stay
in the first division.
The Red Sox, until the last few
days, were given a chance to make
their best showing Of recent years,
but their hopes seem to have been
dispelled yesterday when they
were so soundly thumped in a
uble-header by the Yankees.
The Yanks went IA innings
their longest game Of the year-in
yesterdays opener before Subdu-
ing the Sox, 8 to 5 with a 16-hit
attack that was literally spiced
with extra base blows, including
Joe DiMaggio's 33rd home run.
Red Ruffing was driven from the
mound by the Sox and Johnny
Murphy, rapidly clinching a place
among the relief pitching heroes
of all time for himself, was cred
tied with the victory.
The Yankees broke a 4-to-4 tie
in the sixth of the nightcap to
win by 10 to 4, old Pat Malone
hurting the victory, which was
curtained to seven innings by
darkness. Lou Gehrig found time
to stick in a home run.
Cleveland began making threat

VIC SUSPENDS
TOM DOON|S

Vic Gauzza, diminutive presi-
dent Of the National City Baseball
League, rules with an iron.
After considering both sides Of
the case, Gauzza suspended Tom
DonniS, former mainstay of Tech
High Schools hurting staff and
one Of the leading moundsmen of
the Georgetown A. C. nine in the
unlimited Section B, for violating
the league rules.
WAS UNDER CONTRACT
DooniS, who was under contract
to the j. C. Flood Plumbers in the
junior division, twirled for the
Georgetown aggregation in an un-
limited game last Sunday. He also
performed with the Petworth jun
ior team against Police Boys Club,
No. 4.
Inasmuch as Doonis was still
under contract to Flood, Manager
Charlie Sondheimer, of that team,
protested to Gauzza. AS a result,
both Doonis and the entire Pet
worth outfit were suspended for
the rest of the season.
GORDONS RESIGN
Gordon's Cafeteria, runner.up to
Rose Liquors in the first half
Of Section A, unlimited play, has
dropped out of the league. The
action followed the refusal of Vic
Gauzza to replay the Gordon
Klein'S Tavern game which was
awarded to the Tavern team last
Sunday when the umpire found
the Gordon club guilty of repeat
edly stalling. Vic refused to
change the jumps decision and
the Cafemen have decided to play
independent ball for the rest of
the season.
Georges Radio won the first
half junior race automatically
when PetWorth was suspended.
The Radiomen were to play off
a tie game with Petworth but win
by forfeit, as the latter will not
be able to compete further this
year. Second-half play starts this
Sunday. Three new players have
been allowed each team. They
must be in the fold, however, be-
fore next Sunday.

TITLE TRIUMPH
seen AGAIN FOR
CHOICE, ABBOTT

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. H.
Only 16 aspirants to the national
public links golf title Of defending
Champion Pat Abbott, of Pasa-
dena, Cal, remained in the field
today.
And Of the Is which will be cut
to four Semi-finalists by nightfall
when the third and fourth rounds
of match play are completed, four
are from out Of State, seven from
northern California and five from
southern California.
RIPPY IS OUT
Twenty-eight invaders fell in the
first two rounds Of match play
yesterday at Harding Park. Among
them were Claude Rippy, of Wash
ington, D. c., the pre-tournament
favorite, who was runner-up to
Champion Abbott at Bethpage, L.
l., last year, and Carl Kaufman.
Pittsburgh, three times public
links champion.
Abbott, who did not have much
trouble defeating Ralph Presby, Of
Sacramento. Cal, 4 and 3, and
John MeScall, of Los Angeles, 2
and /, was a strong favorite today
to retain his title.
He played with such machine
like precision the galleries waited
for him to come to the tee to-
day, confident he will successfully
defend his title.
One of Abbott'S greatest threats
is Don Erickson, the Alhambra,
Cal, medaliSt, who coasted into
the third round. Abbott played
no more steady golf than the
brand exhibited by the medaliSt.
SZWEDKO THREAT
Andy Szwedko, Pittsburgh, Pa,
doomed as the big eastern threat.
Szwedko was one over par in
scoring his twin victories in the
first and second rounds.
Although anything may happen
today after yesterdays sensational
rounds which saw big names drop
thickly, the galleries trailing the
golfers seemed to nominate Alb.
bolt, Erickson and Szwedko as the
men to watch.

Mihahc threw out Bob johnson,
and sprawled on his face max
ing the play.
Then there was the mixup on
Travis, already related. The Ath-
letics stumble so often that there
is no record Of their antics. They
fell chiefly in the percentage
column.
Brucker argued ct great length
with Moriarty on q play in the
ninth inning. Mihalic threw wild
to first base, and Brucker thought
that he had successfully slid
under Kuhel'S tag. But the UNI
pire ruled otherwise, and, Of
course, his word was final.
Joe Kuhel hit his home run
with the truest swing he made in
a month. He just met the ball,
timed it, and the leather rode
out of the LOT.
Stone made a slick catch Of a
shot by Brucker. The AS catcher
hit the ball well enough, but in
hard luck.
Travis made one hit IN two
trips to the plate, which didn't
do his average any harm.

DAVIS SEEN AID
TO REDLEG GANG

Newest member Of the Reds IS
33-year-old Outfielder Geor
(Kiddo) Davis purchased from the
New York Giants. George recently
was sent by the Giants to Jersey
City to make room for the return
Of Hank Leiber. but the outfielder
wouldn't report and asked to be
placed on the retired list. That's
when the Reds stepped in and
purchased his contract.
Davis is one of the best defen-
sive gardeners in the National
League. In most Of the Giants
tight games the past two years
he was jeffed into the lineup in
the last inning or two when his
club was ahead. This was done as
an added defensive measure.
Davis Is a righthand batter and
thrower, feet tall. weighs ITS
pounds and is graduate of New
York University. His lifetime
major league batting average is
about .270.
