PIRATES WEAK BUT HOLD LEAD
 IN MAJOR RACE
Reds, Giants and Cubs Also Lax-FOxx Homer
 Puts Red SOx Second
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

Chicago, Aug 24.-CUP)-The National league pennant race usually raging at white heat tenn perature at this stage of the cam paign, is gradually disintegrating into one of those "what-of-it and who cares" affairs.
 Pittsburgh is definitely backing into the pennant, and the other three first division clubs are drift ing along with the backWash. Even without any heat on them from the rear the Pirates are playing like team frantically close to complete collapse. A threatening gesture from any one of the three runners-up might result in panic in their ranks. But so far the Giants, Reds and Cubs have given no serious in- dication of challenging.
 During the past month the Reds have played the best ball among the four clubs but haven't been hot enough to gain any ground in the pennant race. The records since July 25 follow.

ALL-CAL|FORN|A
 TEAM DEFENDS DAVIS NET CUP
Hunt Gets Post Sought By Wood; Riggs Play May
 Decide Result
BY HENRY SUPER TJnited Press Staff Corresnon,

V
 New York, Aug. 24.-CUP) The first All-California team in history will defend the Davis cup next week. end at Germantown, Pa, against Australia.
 It will be a four-man team pow cred by Donald Budge of Oakland, the worlds No. amateur player, bulwarked by his doubles-partner Gene Mako, and Bobby Riggs and supported by Joe Hunt, all of Los Angeles.
 Although teams composed exclu- sively of players from the sunshine state have been sent in quest of the cup in the past, never before has one been called upon to defend it.
 It also will be one of the youngest teams ever to represent the United States. Budge &nd Mako are 22; Hunt and Riggs, 20.
 The squad was announced last night by the U. s. Lawn Tennis as- sociation Davis cup committee. The only surprise nomination was Hunt who will serve as a spare.
 During the eastern campaign it was understood that the race was between Sidney B. Wood, Jr,, of New York, veteran of Davis cup play. and Hunt. When Wood icked Joe in the semi-finals of the recent New port Casino tourney, it seemed that he would get the nomination.
 But the tennis fathers decided otherwise, probably figuring it would be smarter to give the youthful Hunt the experience.
 Walter s. Pate again will be non- playing captain. He had that job last year when Budge, Frankie Park CT and Mako Wrested the cup from England.
 As It Looks
 Budge most certainly will hold down what is known as the No. l singles post. Riggs will be the No 3 singles player Actually, there is no difference because each must play thes anne two men.
 Mako and Budge, twice winners Of the All-England doubles title, will pair up for the tandem play. If 4F-dhO, OI L0dQ6Nf 6O foJdlt, Hunt probably will get into the dou- bles.
 The actual order of play will not be decided until the draw is made at Germantown, 24 hours before the opening singles on Saturday. There is supposed to be some sort Of s,rategy in poStponing the actual rOmina ton until the last minute. It is safe bet, however, that it will te Riggs and Budge versus Jack Brcmwich and Adrian QuiSt in snglos 9nd Mako and Budee against tce same pair in the doubles.
 The teams will go to Germantown tarly next week after the conclusion of the national doubles a. Chestnut Hill, Mass. The Americans will prac-

NORTH BINDERS
 WILLING TO AID
 C. AL. CHAMPS
Game Temporarily Set for Sunday, September 4;
 TOrringtOn Due
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

b1 JOHN A. CLUNE1
 Exhibiting excellent sportsinanship despite recent loss of their protest against the Tribune A. A. city am ater league champions of 1888, the North End Thomas club, through Attorney Frank Summa. bounded back this morning with an empha- tic "yes" when asked the ques- tion: Would you play the Tribunes again to aid the On to Pittsburgh Fund.-"
 The Plan
 Therefore, there is very good chance that the two teams will meet for the fifth time this season in special game at Hamilton park, Sunday afternoon. September 4th, the proceeds of the game to go toward the Pittsburgh fund for expenses to send the Tribunes to the national amateur tournament on September 10th. Each team has won two games, including the title tilt.
 Coach Harry Melvin is more than willing to take on the Thomas club again. according to league Presi- dent. Ray Tram, and will play them for fun, money or marbles" as he is supposed to have put it. North Enders have been itching for an- other crack at the Tribunes. which seemed impossible until the pro- posed game was put up to team leaders from both club.
 Won't Hurt Drive
 Attorney Summa went for the idea in a big way but added: Sure, we would like to play them again, but would not want to do anything to hurt the financial campaign yet to be started. which would be the case if the Tommies knocked them off, which they can do and have done twice this season. Assured that Coach Melvin was willing to take his teams chaences on that score, MT. Summa said: Well go ahead, for if it's o. K. with him it's more than O. K. with us." All of which makes the game look like a certainty, with both teams willing to play each other probably for a side wager that will be big enough : to satisfy the winner to the high est degree. Then again, the various betting gents backing the teams will have a field day to themselves while the Thomas club will naturally be allowed expenses for putting their team on the field, including trans portation for their own of town members.
 Neutral ulnpires will probably be insisted upon by both clubs, due to the recent wrangle at Hamilton park.
 Torrington Pros, supposed to be bossed by Hank Karlon, leading hit ter of the Savitt Gems, who may go to Pittsburgh with the Tribunes, and the New Haven Pros, with Klinky Karman pitching, are ex- pected to be shown here, acording to President Tram, who feels he has both games lin" for Water : bury during the next two days. The Torrington team may show here Saturday.
 "On to Pittsburgh" campaign headquarters were opened this morning in the Mattatuck Recrea- ton building at 110 East Main street, through the courtesy of Ber- hard Mohill and Bob White, with the campaign chairman to be named today. MT. Tram cautioned } all donors to send checks directly to Frederick w. Chesson at the Water bury Trust company bank, and to make no individual cash contribu- tions to anyone not showing an of- ficial letter or credential signed by him (Fram) as league president.

Still Five Up


 Pittsburgh cut its lead to five games yesterday by dividing a dou- bleheader with the Boston Bees while the second place New York Giants were pumping the Chicago Cubs in a single game. Johnny Lanning held the Pirates to six hits | for a 60 victory in the opener. An error by Relief Pitcher Dick Brick son enabled the Pirates to salvage the second game, Az, in IA in- nings.
 Scoring six runs in the first in- ming off Larry French and Jack Russell, the Giants triumphed over the Cubs 6-2. The Cubs had 10 men left on base and were feeble in the pinches.
 Lloyd Moore's five-hit pitching featured Cincinnati's 80 victory over the Phillies and strengthened the Reds hold on third place, six and one-half games behind the Pirates. In the other National league game the St. Louis Cardinals won from Brooklyn, 9-7. Bill Me- Gee came in as a relief pitcher to halt late Dodger rally. Terry Moore hit homer with the bases loaded.
 The Boston Red Sox moved into second place in the American league by taking a twin bill from the Cleveland Indians, 13-3 and 14-12. In the opener the Red Sox slugged out 21 hits while Fritz Osteruel- Ter held the Indians to nine. Jimmy FoxX's ninth inning homer with the bases loaded enabled the Red Sox to come from behind in the night cap.
 Game Apiece
 The New York Yankees divided doubleheader with the Chicago White SoX and held their II 1-2 game lead. Thornton Lee, Yankee nemesis, pitched the White Sox to an 11-3 win in the opener. Lee, Radcliff, Owen and Rensa hit hom- CTS for the Sox. Lou Gehrig's 18th homer with mate on base fea- tured the Tanks 3-1 victory in the second game.
 Hank Greenberg clouted homer No. 43 in his 18th game to keep 10 days ahead of Babe Ruth's 1927 record-breaking pace as the Tig- CTS won two games from the Ath- letics, 13-5 and 8-3
 The twin triumph moved Detroit into fourth place tie with the Washington Senators who edged out the St. Louis Browns, 6-5, in 12-inning battle.

Ribbentrop May Go

BERLIN, Nov. % (R.-Persons
close to the foreign Office said today
that Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop might go to Paris about
December l, although the Nazi anti
Jewish campaign admittedly has
greatly lessened chances for a far
reaching Franco-G German friendship
accord.
Five thousand metal workers Of
the Denain Amin factories in
Northern France, part of which were
filling national defense orders, struck
in sympathy with the 1000 Gail
strikers and occupied their plants.
Informed persons said that prior
to the anti-Semitic outburst of two
weeks ago the path had been cleared
for Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm
Goering to go to Paris to sign an
accord similar to that signed by
Hitler and Prime Minister Cham
berlain of Britain at Munich.
The anti-Jewish wave, however.
caused the marshal's plans to be
Cancelled abruptly because his name

Premature Baby
Incubator Is Given
Test Here
Successful Tryout
Brings Hope to Sove
Many Lives -,

a nfe-saver for premature babies,
Washington's first infant incubator,
passed its initial test at Sibley Hos
pital yesterday with flying colors.
The incubator's first customer, the
7-month-old daughter of Mrs. Mary
Souri,, 1925 East Capitol street, was
given an excellent chance for sur
vival following five days in the de-
vice, obstetricians at the hospital
said.
The first of about is which are
to be set up at Sibley Hospital
to handle premature births In
Washington, the new machine is
furnished with many improvements
over the old type and is equipped
to treat the baby under the most
perfect conditions to insure its sur
vival.
Donated by Variety Club.
DR.. Jacob Kotz, head obstetrician
at the hospital, revealed the new
incubator, which was donated by
the Washington Variety Club, q
theatrical association which collects
funds for charitable projects, was
the first piece Of equipment planned
for q new room at the hospital to
be devoted to care Of premature
babies.
DR.. Kotz said the new machine
was stationary but that it was
planned to obtain a portable incu-
bator, which could be used In emer-
gency cases any place where there
is electricity. The portable type, he
said, can be rushed to any outlying
region and can even be plugged in
to a taxicab or any automobile, so
that even during the transporting Of
child to the hospital constant
and proper temperature to sustain
life may be maintained.
Operation of Incubator.
DR.. Kotz praised the addition Of
the equipment and forecast that it
should save the lives of 100 ba-
bies a year in Washington. He
explained the incubator Is kept at q
temperature of 80 degrees through
the utilization Of high-power elec-
trio bulbs. Pure oxygen, pumped
into the device, maintains a hu-
midity ratio Of from go to IS per
cent.
DR.. Kotz was enthusiastic about
the acquisition Of the incubator and
called it a great step forward in
obstetrics In Washington. In the
establishment Of the new unit at the
hospital, he said, one of the chief
factors will be the use OF trained
personnel.
