"Pennant Talk" Proves Poison
 To Pittsburghers

Pittsburg, Aug. 9-CUP)-The Pittsburg Pirates were far enough ahead in the National league today to suffer bad attacks of superstition any time you mentioned that they might win the pennant.
 Manager Pie Traynor shuddered and closed up like a clam when he heard the word "pennant" but he was willing to discuss the road trip from which the team just returned-an invasion that sent it surging 1-2 games ahead of the New York Giants
 A hustling spirit was responsible for the success, he said. and he credited three men with inspiring the remainder of the players Tridd Baseman Lee Handley, Out fielder Johnny Rizzo and Pitcher Bob Klinger.
 Its the best spirit the club has had in years, Traynor said.
 How do you feel about the pen- nant this year?" he was asked.
 Traynor didn't want to answer that one, but finally he said cauti- ously, We got as good chance as anybody"
 Mrs. Barney Dreyfus, chairman of the board of the Pittsburg club, also refused to get too optimistic.
 We are keeping our fingers crossed" she said. Tt should be about time we had world series here, but we've almost had 1t sey- eral times before.'

and corn on the cob and not of in cense and myrrh. They squirmed away from mothers and fathers, packed tight in a big room, repeat ing, Peace, Father" and Peace, ain't it wonderful" and stole to the out-of doors to choose up sides.
 No Trouble
 They didn't have any trouble find- ing baseball in Heaven" and they didn't have any trouble finding a bat. They found big, tall kid who might have been an understudy for Gabriel to act as umpire, and the game was on.
 I moved around behind home plate, because was curious to see what an angel pitcher could put on the ball. Lo and behold! The little colored pitcher didn't have thing but roundhouse out. I thought 1t cut the corner of the plate for . strike, but I couldn't hear what the umpire called it because just then Father Divines voice boomed through the loudspeaker to say:
 T am the mysterious and suspi- cious and the victorious overcomer of all opposing opposition. I am the light and the candle and the trans hitter of all prohibition. Ride them wings of morning toward heaven that ain't geographical"
 During the time I tried to figure out this Divine" message the bases became loaded and, Da an infield hit there was close play at the plate.
 The umpire called the runner out.
 Angels, Cherubims and Seraphims became mixed up in violent argu- ment over teh decision. Words were said and looks were passed that have no place in Heaven"
 Peace, ain't it wonderful" the loudspeaker said. Peace, ain't it wonderful"
 The umpire cought his cue. Peace, ain't 1t wonderful" he call- ed.
 The scrapping little angels un- bundled their fists and beatific smiles came to their faces. They murmured, Peace, Father, ain't 1t wonderful"
 The game went on.
 If the sample saw yesterday of Father Divine's power over arguing ball players is true example of what he can do, then think there is a place for him in Major League baseball in case his various heavens" start folding. What an umpire he would make.
 Peace, Ducky Medwick."

Smart Money Going To Ambers At
 l To } Price

New York, Aug. g. UP) The boys who lay their money on the line today gave Lou Ambers only one chance in three of remaining lightweight champion when Henry Armstrong surges out to meet him, fists failing, tomorrow night at the Polo grounds.
 They offered even money that Ambers wouldn't last the full IS rounds.
 Those odds reflected general belief that Armstrong would knock out Ambers and thus become the first fighting man in history to wear three crowns simultaneously.
 This belief was also reflected at the box office, where it was indi- cated the total gate would be less than $80,000. Promoter Mike Jacobs insisted today that a "big, last min- ute sale" would bring the gate to more than $l00000 but he admitted that the advance sale was only about $30,00O.
 Short -Enders Happy
 Many smart boxing fellows directly connected with the beak- busting business-called the 3 to 1 odds the "juciest ever offered" They were taking the short end of the betting, and liking it.
 Many insisted that Ambers &C., tually might knock out or stop Arm strong, who scored 35 knockouts in 38 bouts en route to the feather weight and welterweight titles. They emphasized that Jumping Jack Lou Is "cutie" who never goes to town unless the title chips are down; that when he does cut loose, he is such a phantom no one can touch him. They credited him with the stamina to hold a whirlwind clip for IS rounds, and with being clever enough to cut the California negro to ribbons and thereby gain tech nical knockout.
 Both men idled today. Lou scaled 135 1-2, one pound more than he expects to register at the weighing in tomorrow noon. Armstrong, who tipped the beam at 135, expects to weigh in at 133 1-2. They will mo- tor into New Yorw tomorrow fore- noon.

HUDSON CLAIMS
 'INTIMIDATION'
 BY NET MoGULs
Kovacs Denies Coach Had Taught Him Anything in
 20 Lessons

New York, Aug. g. (UP)-George Hudson, Berkeley, Calf, tennis coach, charged today that his star pupil and protege, 18-year-old Frankie Kovacs, was playing ball" with the U. s. Lawn Tennis associa- ton.
 He threatened legal action against the association for alleged intimida- tion, declaring that he had spent years developing Kovacs into a top- flight player with championship potentialities only to be deserted because certain tennis official told him (Kovacs) that he would not be helped or supported by the association if he continued to &C., cept coaching from me-"
 Doesn't Blame Him
 T can understand Frankie's denial of me because to do other wise would be suicidal as far as his tennis future is concerned" Hudson said. But am prepared to see this thing through, because 1t Is about time amateur tennis was cleaned up, and I hope may be the one to start the ball rolling"
 Kovacs, playing in the Eastern Lawn championships at Rye, N. Y, said that Hudson's charges were ridiculous.
 T don't owe Hudson anything" he said. He didn't give me one damn stroke. I took lessons from him-20 of them-but only after my father had paid him in advance. Two years ago Hudson asked me to tell the public had been coached by him as it would benefit his repu- tation. did. I am under no obliga- tionS to him; I won't back him up in anything, and don't want any, thing further to do with him."
 Walter s. Pate, chairman of the Davis Cup committee on manage ment, and Holcombe Ward, presi- dent of the U. S. L. T. A., emphati- cally denied Hudson's charges.
 Utterly Absurd" said Pate, whose recommendation enabled Kovacs to work out for post on the Davis Cup team. Hudson came east with Kovacs against the wishes of both the Northern and Southern Cali fornia Tennis associations. They didn't advocate Hudson attaching himself to player like parasite" ,"
 Ward said, "it's much too hot to get excited"
 To Fight 1t Out
 The Berkeley Tennis club, at which Hudson has been coach for nine years. announced intention of getting to the bottom" of his dis pute with the tennis fathers. Let ters were sent to "all parties con- cerned." One official said: we don't really know what this situation is all about, but we do know that Hud- son is the best tennis coach in the country"

SECOND PLACE STRUGGLE NOW
 HOT IN MAJORS
Cubs Take on Reds and Pirates in Important c.
 Game Series
By GEORGE KIRKsEY
United Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Stan C0rresp0ndent)
 Chicago, Aug. 9.--(UP)-With ex- citement in the pennant races dWin- ding because of the increasingly apparent superiority of the Pitts burg Pirates and New York Yan- kees, chief major league interest to- day centered on the battles for sec- ond place in both circuits.
 The battle in the National league is three way affair between the Giants, Cubs and Reds. Six and half games behind the Pirates, New York holds game and half edge over the Cubs and Reds who are deadlocked for third place. Cleve- land, trailing the Yankees by 1-2 games, has only game and half advantage over the Boston Red Sox.
 Action Ahead
 After a complete day of idleness all major league clubs resume play today. The hottest action was ex- pected at Cincinnati, where the the Reds and Cubs come to grips in a battle for third place.
 The next six days should settle the Cubs pennant chances definite ly inas much as they move into Pittsburg for three game series with the league leaders after they wind up their three game series in Cincinnati. The Cubs pitching staff is pretty well shot now with Clay Bryant, Dizzy Dean and Tex Carle- ton all more or less on the sick and ailing list. Bryant is nursing an injured left hand. Dean is being handled with kid gloves and Carle- ton has shown no signs of recover ing from an arm ailment.
 Pitching Trouble
 The Giants and Reds are in the same boat as far as pitching goes. Carl Hubbell has gone sour. Cliff Melton has faded from the great form of his freshman year. Bill Terry hasn't single reliable pitch CT. Cincinnatis pitchers have been blowing leads right and left. The Reds couldn't find pitcher to hold a seven run lead in one of Sum- days games against Brooklyn.
 Cleveland's big drop may be charged to a collapse of their pitch CTS. Bob Teller, Johnny Allen and Mel Harder all lost their form at the same time.
 Brooklyn, the most active major league club in the player marts, continues the search for talent in the hope of climbing out of sixth place. The Dodgers latest acquisi- tion. IS Wayne LaMaster, Phillies' He has won four games and lost seven this season. Last year he won Is and lost 19.

RENAULT TO MIX WITH C0THAM|TE
Ex=State Champ to Face Crimmins - Collins Is
 Paired With Stevens

New Haven will be represented by two able ringsters in Jimmy Collins, a light-heavyweight and Midget Re- nault, featherweight when the weekly program of amateur boxing gets under way Thursday night at Randolph Gloves Stadium under the auspices of the Waterbury A. c. Collins Is slated to mix with the Brass City's newest 175 pound slug ger, George Stevens, while Renault will have his hands full with Jackie Crimmins of New York, reputed holder of an international feather weight title. Renault is a former state champion. Collins is apt to give Stevens plenty of trouble for he is an experienced amateur fighter.
 Billy Perrin of Bristol and Frank Corrigan of Newark is a middle weight bout that may rival the main go between Dick Turcotte and Dan- ny Houlihan for thrills. while Mickey O'Toole of Newark and Joe Rossi of Naugatuck are also paired up for lively go.

 saw an angel start double play, Cherubims steal second, third, and home, and Seraphims lose high fly in the sun.
 The Angels didn't have wings or harps or beautiful golden hair. They were little colored boy angels, in torn knickers and canvas shoes, who had come up the Hudson to "Hea- ven" right smack along with their God, Father Divine.
 The dusky little angels grew tired of hearing God" talk, long about three in the afternoon, and stole away from the throne room, where the smell was that of fried chicken
