SEVEN INNING
GAMES ASKED
BY CINCY FANS

NEW YORK, Aug. 81. CUP)-
Ford Frick, president of the Nation
al league. today was in receipt OF
the following letter:
Dear Mr. Frick:
We the undersigned of Cincin-
natl. proposed TO the National
baseball league, inc, a resolution
TO be submitted at your next regu-
lar meeting.
Resolved that the length of the
game played in the National league
be limited to seven innings instead
Of nine innings as is now the rule,
this change to take place immedi-
ately, and the new rule to read
that the regulation game consist
of seven innings.
Two advantages as we see it
are, first it would allow the players
additional time to catch trains,
and the second and most import
ant would be to prevent the Gin
cinnati Reds from losing so many
games in the last two innings.
Very sincerely
THE Loyal Cincinnati Fans.
The letter was signed by SO fans.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Aug. 27.
UP)-Please don't whisper it to
a soul, butr-tennis is coming to a
pretty pass, .chums, when the boys
start throwing matches.
1t was remindful of a wrestling
fix" at the Longwood Cricket
club yesterday when Harry Hop
man and Leonard Schwartz oblig-
ingly knocked the ball out Of bounds
and into the net to ease the prog
ress of their countrymen, Adrian
,Quist and Jack BromWich, into the
final round Had they played
at top speed Hopman and Schwartz
probably would have won, but that
would have been very embarrass-
ing, because they are the Austria
lian Davis Cup spares" and Quist
and Bromwich are the regulars
A defeat would have lowered
the morale of the regulars" aud
they need all the morale they can
muster, what with the Davis Cup
challenge round less than a week
away.
Here's a boost for Gene Mako,
Don Budge's doubles partner: he
is a great player and fine sports
man Almost every paper Gene
picks up has a story IN it telling
what a handicap he is to Bulge
and how Bulge should choose an
other partner Well, he and
Don have won the Wimbledon title
twice in a row, and in all their
matches the heaviest fire is direct
ed at Mako II he weren't a
fine player he would have broken

LOOP LEADERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 CUP)-It
begins to look as if the 1888 Ma
tional league championship will go
to a team with the fewest number
of victories any winner has had
since the l54 game schedule was
adopted in 1904.
The record was set at 80 games
won, and Go lost by the ST. Louis
Cardinals. in 1926.
With the exception OF the Pitts
burgh Pirates, whose lead is get
ting simmer and simmer, first div
ision clubs must play at a much
faster clip if they expect to take
the pennant with higher figure
than the Cards u years ago had.
Yesterday, the Pirates lost their
third straight to the PhillieS, Cd
although Manager Pie Traynor had
benched RiZzo and Handley in an
effort to get winning combination.
That defeat didn't affect the Pr
ates AZ game lead over the Giants,
however because the st. Louis Cards
took care of the New Workers, 7-6.
Chicago crept up another game,
to within 5la of the top, with a 7-3
victory over Brooklyn. Cincinatai
fell out of its third place tie with
the Cubs by losing to Boston, 6-l.
In the American league, the Yam
KEGS held their II game lead by
splitting with Cleve:and while Sec
ond place Boston was dividing with
Chicago. The Yanks won the open
er, 1873, shelling youn Bob Feller
numerically for seven innings. The
Indians won the second game 8-5.
Chicago wo nits opener 1872 and
ost the second 9-8 il 10 innings.

Coast League Batting Champions
There is no utterly dark place in
baseball-not even the cellar. Take
Oakland. That club has been COM
PEELED to inhale the spike dust OF
seven others since the day that it
broke the barrier. Yet it may win
championship-the batting cham
pionship of the Pacific Coast league
"a coveted honor in any circuit
And if il does SO it will achieve
the honor through the medium OF
Smead Jolley-yeteran and cast
off. OF course, Oakland has not
been without its baseball distinc-
tions this season, even in adversely
Its Bob Joyce who holds season 5
record for conecdtive scoreless in
nings.
But getting back to Jolley. This
gnarled giant of an Oak is making
an heroic attempt to repeat after
ten years. He led the league in
hitting with San Francisco in 1923.
Earl Sheely with Salt lake and San
Francisco was the only other play
er to repeat this championship
performance with a decade inter
yening. But Jolley will find it no
bed of roses.
He has slipped perceptibly the
past two weeks, and there are a
dozen other players within striking
distance of the lead. A short sue
cessiVe hitting streak would land
any one of them on top.
San Francisco, through the med
ium of either the Seals or the Mis-
sions, has won the batting cham
pionship ten out of the last thir-
teen years. Joe Marty being the
latest TO achieve the title with a
mark of 359-his stepping stone to
the majors. Bin Bagwell, of Port
land in 1926, Frank Demaree oi
Los Angeles in 1884 and George De-
tore of San Diego last season, alone
broke the continuity of cloutine
championships for the Bay City
clubs.
The city of San Francisco in the
entire history of the league thru
its two clubs has produced fourteen
batting champions. OF these, Char
ley Graham's Seals produced nine
Clubs belonging to "Hardpan" Bill
