New York, Aug. 14.-(UP)-The big baseball news today concerns the probable world series rivals:
 CD How did two Athletics pitch CTS, Lee Ross and Edgar Smith, ever hold the Tanks to three hits?
 (2) The Chicago Cubs with their three big guns, Herman, Collins and Hartnett, laid up with injuries, scored 22 runs for a seasons major league record.
 The Athletics nosed out the Tanks, 4-3. Ross pitched seven in- nings and allowed all three hits Gehrig's single, Dickey's double and Lazzeri'S homer. Smith held the Yanks hitless in the last two in- nings.
 Until yesterday Ross record was two won and five lost and Smiths none won and Il lost. Thus two of the poorest pitchers in the league hand-cuffed the. mighty Yankee bomberS.
 Plodding along despite their crip- pies the Cubs unleashed 2l-hit at- tack to crush Cincinnati, 22 to 6. It was the high score of the year, topping the Reds 2l runs against the Phils on May g.
 Frank Demaree, with "A for 4" and Ken O'De, with "4 for B." led the Cubs attack, which, strangely

YALE GR|DME|N START SEASON AGAINST MAINE
Few Veterans and Green Sophomore Crew Hopes

 New Haven, Conn. Aug. 14.-(UP) Necessity rather than preference dictated today that Yale's head football coach Raymond w. (Ducky) Pond, get behind the eight-ball and pull from the proverbial top hat a office attraction that will turn sile profit this fall with a perni- cious schedule.
 A monh from now Pond, one of Yale's greatest mud-runners who applied his geometric knowledge to the gridiron-the shortest distance between two points being a straight line, despite all resistence-Will take his squad to Gales Ferry on the Thames river.
 There, with few hang g-over vet erans and green sophomore crew he will endeavor to turn out an eleven expected to lay low, In suc- cesSion, Maine, Pennsylvania, Army Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Prince ton and Harvard.
 Gone this year, as many other blue heroes have passed, such as Fudge Hellelfinger, Biff McClung Hinckey, Coy, Shevlin, Hogan, Kill patrick and Booth, is Larry Goqua- cious) Kelley whose molasses fingers shared more passes than rival statis- ticians dared count.
 Remaining, in the minority, will be Capt. Clint Frank, one of the main vertebrae of the backfleld tackles Merre Scott and Johnny Castle, fieety backs Charles Ewart Al Hessberg and Bill Snavely, and one good end in Kevin Rafferty.
 Outside the proven field remain 20 others, with the weakness em- phasized in the guards, ends and tackles. Bill Platt and Brown Wat son, unless sophomoric material sur- prises, are the only two seasoned centers.
 While Yale was sweating a IA to 13 victory over its oldest rival, Har- yard, last November, coaches in the lower strata told me there was nothing in their material to raise Ponds blood pressure this year.
 There's a swell backfield." related Albie Booth, the mighty atom, "but it's an extra fare from there on."

TWIN BILL TO BE
 OFFERED AT PARK
Zulu Cannibals and EthiO- plan Clowns Play Local
 Mines Sunday

Harry Melvin, who will lead the Tommies, and Ray Tram, who will pilot the All-Stars, In the gigantic double header at Hamilton park to- morrow. when approached today about there being possibility that their teams were in for a tough game, were both of the opinion that even though they are defeated, the invaders, the Ethiopian Clowns, who will oppose the All-Stars at 1:30, and the Bornaco Cannibals who will take on the Thommies, had better play heads-up ball or their wonderful winning streaks will suffer.
 The Ethopion Clowns, who will appear against a selected group of players from the City Amateur league, have record of 35 straight wins SO 1t looks as though Tram has something cut out for him. As pilot of the Hearts 1t is his proud boast that for the past two years under him teams from the City Amateur league have yet to lose an exhibition game.
 The Ethiopian Clowns are only clowns as far as their names goes, They will put on the field at Hamil- ton park the fastest ball machine this town has seen in a long time with entertainment and novelties.
 Harry Melvin. who will lead his city champions the Tommies in the second game at p. rn., will have real tough opposition cut out for him in the persons of the Zulu Can- nibals, group of players who will take the field and play the game in grass shirts, with no hats, and no shoes. They boast of the very in- pressive record of 1l9 wins out of l34 starts. Here is a team that sports writers all over this country are unanimous in proclaiming the equal of any minor league team and as good as most of the big league teams their color alone preventing them from entering the big leagues.
 Before the 1:30 game, the Ethiopian Clowns will present their shadow ball entertainment" and then for the wait between the games and before the second game the Zulu Cannibals will present another novelty.

 Beginning with the ninth inning, Grove and Willis Hudlin, the latter having relieved Miller, pitched shut out ball inning after inning, and not until Jimmy Foxx smacked out his twenty eighth home run of the sea- son in the seventeenth inning, did Grove prove Hudlin's master. After this punch of Foxx's the Athletics secured what turned out to be a superfiuous run on Bing Miller's double, followed by Hale's and Groves singles, as Philadelphia held Cleveland away from the plate in the final half, and the Mackmen had won, s to 3.
 This was Groves eighteenth vic- tory of the season, as against only two defeats. Cleveland clearly out hit the Athletics, twenty hits to thirteen, but did his best pitching when the Indians were in scoring position.
 Joe Sewell, with five singles, and Bing Miller, with two doubles and two singles, were the leaders of their respective teams.
 NOTE: Bob Groves number of wins and losses at this stage of the race excelled that with which he finished the season, when he led all huriers with 20 kames won and 6 lost.
