HubbeII's Failure Sad
Blow to Terrymen

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 I.N.S)
Striving to regain prestige in the
National League race, the Chicago
Cubs today continued their Sec
ond.place battle with the dodder-
ing New York Giants, while the
Pittsburgh Pirates fought off an
incipient slump at Boston.
AS matters stand in the senior
loop, there's no contender playing
decent brand Of baseball. The
Pirates possess a five-game lead,
but have dropped two straight.
Still they lead the Giants, who ap-
parently played all their baseball
early in the campaign.
The Cubs, only a game and
half behind the Giants, can hope
for nothing better than to beat
out the Terrymen, for they appear
to be a streak" team, even under
the capable handling OF Gabby
Hartnett.
HUBBELL WEAKENS
The Giants, on their recent
Western swing, could win only
with Carl Hubbell. Now, even he
has shown signs of weakening
under the entire Giants burden.
Without Carl they are a second
division club.

Giants to two hits as the Cubs

charged with his eighth loss.
The Pirates were held to four

the Bees triumphed. to /. AL
Todd's homer was the Bucs' sole
bright spot.
The Cincinnati Reds got two
runs on a wild pitch by Pete
Sivess in the ninth and beat the
Philadelphia Phillies, 3 to 2, for
Johnny Wander Meer's twelfth tri-
umph.
USE YELLOW BALL
Using the new yellow ball for
the first time, the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers took a doubleheader opener
from the st. Louis Cardinals, 6
to 2, as Freddie FitzSimmons
pitched eight-hit ball. In the
nightcap, the Dodgers did even
better with the regular ball, as
Dolph Camilli hit two homers. the

reasonable worth which was put
forth yesterday by AL JAM1-
SON, Indian Spring pro, half in
fun.
In the past, the size of the
District Open purse has de-
pended upon the munificence,
or lack of it. exercised by local
club members when the hat is
passed for a collection. The aV-
erage club contribution has run
between $50 and $50, and no
one likes to pass the hat. The
idea behind The now discarded
exhibition series was to build
up a purse which would include
club contributions, SIS entry fees
from each pro and public spec
tator fees, if any, thus insuring
something worth playing for.

Wanted: A BOokie

JAMISONS suggestion is
that the track idea be carried
over to professional links COM
petition. Here's the way it
would work. Two-man teams,
matching eakness with
strength, would play each Sun
day, with about IL pros par
ticipatjng. Programs at 81 each
would be sold at every exhibit
ton, which would entitle each
spectator to deal with an on
the-spot unofficial" bookie,
10 per cent of whose take would

Bets could be laid, for instance,
that WIFFY cox and MEL
SHOREY would take CLIFF

Or a parlay could be placed on
WIFFY and SHOREY as we'll

TONY SYLVESTER to take

I guarantee that the gate and
the ill-gotten cut on the bookie's
take would make stable purse,
without pro entry fees and club
donations.

Place Your Bets

It is obvious to anyone who
has followed the course Of exhi'
bition golf in the past decade
that not even the big time pros
draw the crowds they used to.
Whereas a crowd Of 1000 used
to be a slim gate, if such a mob
were to turn up at Congressional
for a Maryland Open or at In
dian Spring for a Middle Allan
tic event, the club attendants
would start running, having in
mind that nothing short Of "a
revolution" could have caused
such a turnout.
The only way to come any
where near that gate is to force
interest with a little bit of arti-
ficial stimulus. which is the
heart of AL JAMISON'S sug-
gestion.
Some time ago, a Chicago
racetrack hit upon the bright
idea of handing out $1,000 at
the end of a race week to the
track devotee who was able to
pick seven winners in a day.
If no one was able to pick seven
winners, then six winners
copped the $1,000 bonus, or five,
or four. The track owners dis
covered that through the sale Of
additional programs, increased
betting and added gate, they
more than tripled the amount Of
the bonus.

white and the lover parts black.
In the autumn the males assume the
colors worn by their mates. The
upper parts are buffy olive streaked
with black and the lower parts a
buffy olive of pale hue.
With a range from Eastern Coast
to Western prairies during the spring
and summer months and in autumn
trip to the Southern States and
from there a take-of to South Amer
lea and the Indies for the coolest
months. there is an interesting way
of living for any birds. We who
cannot lead such life Of ease love
to become acquainted with even q
bird who can manage things so
nicely.
Bob is very shy. He reverses the
saying of good child, "he should bs
seen and not heard" for he is heard
and not seen. He has the ability to
hide in the meadow grass at your
very feet without your being aware
of his presence until he rises into
the air, singing as he goes, as if
delighted at the joke he has put over
on you.
In the North Bob is known as the
minstrel of the meadows. He is
greatly beloved, and his gay serenades
often gather fair-sized human audi
ence. Sometimes, when Bob gets his
music box all tuned up, he sort Of
goes wild, and you never know what
he will turn out next.

sists he says: "oh, eeeseler. geeseler,
gilipity, onkeler, ooseler, co." Now
try that over and over again and
you will recognize the similarity when
next you hear Bob's gay greeting.
One of the most wonderfully made
bird nests in the world is that con-
structed by Nine. Bobolink. First
she goes about in a manner denot-
ing great concentration, She must
have depression In the ground Of
the right dimensions Meadows have
all sorts of depressions, made by the
feet of large animals, removal of a
huge weed or stone. This is the
cradle. Into it will be placed with
care and precision dried leaves, weed
stems and coarse grass. After this
springy mattress has been tapped well
with her feet and lies quite even,
finer grasses are used to cover the
coarser material. Then she lays four
to seven pale gray, irregularly
splashed and spotted eggs. The spots
and splashes are a mixture Of lumber,
chestnut, lavender and deep purple.
Are they hard to find? According
to bird tradition one egg is laid each
day until the clutch is complete be-
fore brooding begins.

Bayne-Jones has been master Of

fessor Of Bacteriology, Dean OF the
Yale School of Medicine, and Direc-
tor Of the Board Of Scientific Ad-

search made Il necessary for him
to resign as master Of Trumbull.
The important changes in the UNI

made possible by the establishment

for this purpose. The funds made
available by the University have
been augmented by q generous gift
from Edward s. Hardness. 81.
In addition to the studies which

OF History, Arts, and Letters, cours-
es In English, Classical Civilization,

900 effective planes, but with rather
inferior airfield facilities. Artillery,
tanks, infantry and three lines OF
