TEACHERS OF PRINTING
DIFFICULT TO FIND

Qualified teachers Of printing have
been difficult to find. They are not
produced easily. School training
alone isn't sufficient. Harry L. Gage
questions whether routine teacher
training without the background Of
trade experience can produce a we'll
rounded and wholly competent teach
er in any trade subject. But that,
he says. does not infer that trade
skill alone is sufficient. The best
vocational teacher I have known in
twenty-five years of school contacts
had so little general schooling that
he was almost illiterate. Yet he pos
sessed an instinct for teaching, plus
sound and comprehensive craftsman
ship-and the combination required
only occasional administrative assist
ance to form his courses"

The American league baseball
race sifted down to two teams over
the weekend, Cleveland and the
defending champion Yankees.
Boston dropped out of the race
by losing two games to the cellarite
st. Louis Browns. The twin defeat
proved conclusively that the Red
Sox pitching staff lacks necessary
strength without Lefty Grove.
With the Yankees out in front
by two games it appears the champs
have the inside track. The burden
of proof rests on the shoulders of
two question mark pitchers, Monte
Pearson and Spud Chandler.
Pearson and Chandler turned in
victories for the Yanks in a double
header Sunday. Both pitched their
best games of the season. If they
can continue to take their turn on
the hill Manager McCarthys trou-
bles are over.
Cleveland With SIX good pitchers
will have the inside track, however,
should the Yankee pitching fail to
hold up in the final pennant drive.
Explanation
New York Giant fans, remember
ing the early season squirt of the
Terrymen, are wondering what hap
pened to the New Workers in recent
games. :
The explanation is simple
Early in the season the Giant
defense was impregnable. Today it
is shaky. Costly bobbles have turned
apparent victory into defeat on
more than one occasion.
As result the Giants have blown
a good lead and dropped five games
behind the red hot Pittsburgh Pr
ates.
The return to winning ways of the
Giants depends upon the infield.
If the infield starts to click again
the Gothamites will bring home an

pictures of them in different poses
to use when world series time came
round. Then the Giants beat these
gay Buccaneers five times in row
and broke their spirit. They went
into a dazzling tailspin and the
Giants went on to win.
All around the league the boys
are waiting for the Pittsburghers
to fold once more. This week way
tell. Let the Bucs take two of three
from Boston, where they open to-
day, and the same number from
the Giants and they will be pretty
close TO in.
AS for the Giants this week will
make or break them. They open
with Gabby Hartnett's Cubs at the
Polo Grounds today in series that

marked the clashes between these
two teams when McGraW was mas

as the challenger the Pirates would
have to beat in the run down the

This week offers the Cipcinnati
Reds a fine chance to better them
selves. With the Pirates, Cubs and
Giants hacking away at one an
other the Reds have nothing more
difficult than the Phillies and the
Brooklyns. 1t is entirely possible

second place, sights set on the top

ARMSTRONG SUFFERS FACE CUTS
IN TRAINING FOR BOUT
AGAINST LOU AMBERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. fUP) -
Training camp cuts suffered by
Henry Armstrong caused the odds
to tighten today on his chances of
lifting Lou Ambers lightweight til
tie a week from tomorrow night
at the Polo Grounds.
Armstrong, who already holds
the featherWeight and WelterWeight

a tendency to cut easily since he
crashed the big time a year and

Sacramento and third place San
Diego kill each other off this week.
The Angels came to San Fran
cisco to take on the fourth place
Seals in the new Nteks series
Sacramento played host to San
Diego, Oakland went to Hollywood
and Portland to Seattle.
Smead Jolley, Oakland's big slug
ging outfielder who topped the
leagues batting average in 1923, ap-
peared likely to repeat this year,
according to statistics compiled by
William MCGEE, San F'rancihco.
Jolley has been batting 1893 in
2l6 tries at the plate while Harry
Rosenberg, Portland, tied at .34l
Bill Lillard, long idle San Francisco
ShortStop, was fourth at 339 while
Brooks Holder of San Francisco had
1886.
Freddie Hutchinson, the 18 year
old Seattle rookie, was head man
among the pitchers, having won II
games and lost 5. Mamie Salvo,
San Diego, was a close second with
10 wins and seven defeats.
Among the extra base hitting
leaders, three players are tied for
the most two baggers. English of
Los Angeles, Byselman of Seattle
and Rosenberg of Portland each
have 26 doubles. Uphalt has had
triples while Ted Norbert, San

BILL CISSELL
JOINS TERRYMEN
TO STEADY FIELD

CHICAGO, Aug. 2 tUP)-One
thing about the New York Giants
is that they never give up They
keep trying, not only on the field
but in the front office.
When Bill Terry tand Terry is
the Giants front office needs a
player he goes out and gets him
Cash is no object in getting the
best man available.
That's why they bought Chalmers
(BilD Cissell, the infielder who
might have enough baseball left in
his system for the next two months
to tighten up the Giants infield
for a serious attempt to overhaul
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Cissell, who played some great
baseball in his day with the White
SoX and Indians in the American
league, is the second second base
man Terry has bought since the
season opened. He gave up Wally
Berger to get Alex Kampouris, who
proved a dismal failure.
Another example of the Terry
policy was the purchase of Out
fielder Bob Seeds from Newark for
5000. Terry needed an outfielder
badly after Joe Moore was injured
SO he bought Seeds.
A year ago the Giants were in
second place six games behind the
Cubs but they came ON to win the
pennant. Today they're only five
games behind the Pirates.
Cleveland faltered yesterday in
an attempt to shave a half a game
off the New York Yankees lead by

BY HENRI McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 CUP)-This
county of ours is a great one for
weeks" We have apple week, cot
ton week, cat week, gingham week
and corn-o -the-cob week, to name
a few.
Some of the baseball critics, fig
uring that one more week wouldn't
hurt matters. have named this one
we're living right now National
league week" because it might very
well decide the winner Of the 1888
national league pennant chase.
Within the next six days the Pr
ates and Giants and Cubs come to
grips and the results of their meet
ing win have an important bear
ing on which is to be first in line
at the October pay-off.
Take the Pirates, for example.
Right now they are a bold sWash-
bucking crew and are on top with
a five game lead over the Giants
and a seven and one half game
margin over the third place Cubs.
That's big margin with the
season nearing the -quarter
pole, but will the Pirates hold it.?
In the past few years the Pirates
have earned for themselves the un-
enyiable nickname of Old Accor-
dion Men" meaning they can fold
up and blow a lead with less effort
than any club in the league. The
Pirates of earlier years could do
a bit Of folding too, as all who
remember 1921 will recall.
The Pirates of that year came
east in mid-August with lead of
715 games and a high scorn for
the other teams. They brought
along musical Instruments which
they played in the dugout. They
sang and frolicked between innings
They insisted the cameramen take

lightning uppercuts as any man in
the ring. In his last title defense,
as 81 underdog, Lou cut up
Pedro Montanez so badly, he was
lucky to last the Is rounds.
There had been little interest
in the approaching 1875 pound title
scrap because Armstrong had been
a 81, or better, fayorite. But to-
day, bettors began to figure that
if the Los Angeles Negro can be
cut up by his spar mates, he
should be even more vulnerable
against an ever busy workman like
Ambers. Odds dropped to 5-2.
