AMBERS WORKS
FOR SCOTT BOUT

Boxing observers hereabouts
are specializing on Cowboy SCOTS
chances Of running Champion
Ambers in their return match at
Griffith Stadium, August 81.
Scott and Ambers clashed in
Hartford last Monday, and
Larrupin' Lou got away with the
verdict-the lone vote handed
down by Referee Jack Dempsey.
Scott, quite confident Of beat
ing Ambers, went back to his
training routine today. Long,
arduous drills are on tap daily,
with early morning road work on
the bill.
The cowboy, according to
reliable sources, will alter his
attack slightly for the return go
with Ambers. Instead Of bobbing
and jumping around at close
range, the cowboy hopes to de-
velop a terrific loES range attack.
This, it Is believed, will be most
effective against the champion
and may result in a victory for
the transplanted Texan.
AmberS at present is training
at Pompton Lakes, N. j., a couple
of stone throws from Champion
Joe Louis camp, and will arrive
in Washington possibly Friday to
taper off for the duel with Scott.

The Orioles got to be taken as
q matter Of course. Nothing in
the loop could touch them, so
there being mo dice" or mo con-
test" when the Orioles were play
ing, the bugs decided there was
no sport in going to see a push

There is no question about the
American League being overbal-
anced from the New York sector.
There seems to be no question
either that whether the Giants or
Cubs win the National League
pennant, they will be a cinch for
the Yankees in the famed October
showdown.
The Big Question
But there is a question, based
on the case Of the Orioles and
based on common sense that 1t isn't
always smart to be too smart, or
too good, as to whether hav-
ing the outstanding power Of the
game concentrated in one place
for too long a period Of years is
a healthy state Of affairs for the
sport.
You witnessed the way in which
the Yankees dominated the all
star game here in Washington.
When Babe Ruth selects his all
America baseball team early next
month you will probably find that
the Yankees, although he has lit
tie love in his heart for them, will
dominate his annual selection.
Can't Help Dominate
They can't help dominate it.
Even Ruth can't keep such names
as DiMaggio, Gehrig, and Ruffing
off the mythical team, and it
wouldn't be surprising II Bill
Dickey also makes the grade.

tie between DoomiS and Mallos,
S to 3.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-08-24

If the Cubs win both games, the
Giants can forget all about the
pennant for another year. Two
victories would give the Cubs q
six-game lead and the confidence
thus engendered would make their
path to the pennant q cinch.
If the Giants win two, the race
will be wide open again, with the
Pirates and Cardinals, who are not
too far away, encouraged to come
on for a last big drive to the
wire.
LEAD WITH ACE
In such a situation as this there
is only one course open for Bill
Terry-he must lead with his ace
the one and only Carl Hubbell.
Terry has given the lean left
handler several days rest in prepa-
ration for today's game and when
the chips are down and he's fully
rested, there is no tougher pitcher
in the world to face.
Charley Grimm has Larry
French, Bill Lee and Bud Parme-
lee ready to go but will wait until
the last minute before making his
nomination.
Not long ago the Cubs were six
games in front and breeztng, as
they say at Saratoga. Then their
pitching went into q tailSpin and
that formidable lead was cut to
two games.
BARTELL INJURED
This was the spot for the Giants
to come on and win but Just as
they got ready to make their bid
for the lead, Dick Bartell went out
Of action again and slugging Sam
Leslie was forced to the sidelineS.
1t is doubtful If either Bartell
or Leslie will get into this series
but even If they should hobble
onto the field, they will not be
within SO per cent of their real
form, and the Giants without a
perfect Bartell in action are about
as fast as fish without fins.
The odds are all in favor Of the
CubS-but that man Hubbell is
an awful tough hombre when the
checks are down as they are today.
