sure to be led if you wind up play

Answer: Fish and grape wine
contain little calcium; ice cream
Especially if made with milk)
contains some. But calcium-con-
tanning foods have not been proved
to cause kidney stone formation
and it would hardly be possibles lei

CINCY KNOCKS
OVER CUBS TO
CLOSE ON BUGS

CHICAGO, Aug. 10. (UPl-The
ball club to watch from now on
in the National league pennant race
is the Cincinnati Reds.
With the other first division
clubs, the Pirates, Giants and Cubs,
all travelling in reverse the Reds
are crowding their way back into
the thick of the fight.
Knocking the Cubs off for the
second straight yesterday, Cincin-
natl moved within six and one
half games of the league leading
Pirates. Paul Derringer handcuffed
the Cubs with seven hits to win,
9-1, and further distinguished him
self by hitting one of the longest
homers seen at Wrigley Field this
season. 1t was his 10Th triumph.
The two National league leaders
lost yesterday. The St. Louis Cardi-
mails dumped the Pirates, 5-l. when
Bob Weiland pitched a four hit
game.
Brooklyn trimmed the Giants, So
although New York made IL hits
to the Dodgers six.
Although they split a twin bill
the New York Yankees kept up
their pennant drive as Cleveland
lost and the world champions ex-
tended their lead to nine full games.
Joe DiMaggio's triple and Lou
Gehrig's double gave the Yanks
6-5 victory over Washington in the
IL inning opener. Yves Ferrell, pit
ching his first game in a Yankee
uniform, outlasted Dutch Leonard
to beat his ex-mates. Harry Kelley
pitched a six hit game to beat the
Yanks, 6-3, in the nightcap.
The st. Louis Browns scored a
81 triumph over Cleveland behind
Buck Newsoms five hit pitching.
In the other two American league
games Jim Bagby pitched the Obs
ton Red Sox to 20 triumph over
the Athletics. and Detroit, capital
izing on Johnny Whiteneads wild
ness, beat the Chicago White Sox
5-1.

Post Press Sports Editor

Back to the more important item
of matching opponents.
The athletic clubs outstanding
show Thursday night was the first
good card in three weeks. As a re-
suit Thursdays crowd was not out
standing.
The matchmaking department
has an excellent ohance TO end
the attendance slump.
A Loudermilk-Cann rematch
would be the first step in that dir
ection. The following week the
management could schedule one
of the Hogue twins against Vic
illavicencia, who has twice con-
quered Ike Blair.
The Hogue twins would cost the
management a few dollars more
than the other valley fighters. but
the returns at the gate would war
rant that slightly higher expense.
The twins have secured their
licenses to fight and are in con-
dition to start fighting again. Their
return to the ring would assure
successful season at the Ell Gen.
tro Athletic Club.
Their absence from the ring will
cause continued poor attendance
and worse than that, may cause
eventual elimination of amateur
fights in FL Centro.
From the Coast Loop
An analysis of the caliber of
pitching which has been extant
or rampant in the Pacific Coast
league to date this season leaves
one with the impression that the
800 batter should be as extinct
as the dodo.
Not in a decade have the swat
smiths faced such a fusilade of
fantastic foolerS as in the present
season. Yet the batters must have
had their moments as there are
something like twenty-five hitting
300 or better.
But the picking has been mighty
short a good deal of the way. In
lightweight contests one of the
clube was shut out, and in l29
others the losing club was held
to one run. Taking all these games
it is found that but 129 runs were
scored in 1889 innings. or an aver
age of -tenths of a run per
nine inning game. Mighty few bat
ters could have fattened up on
that. .

Cannctt opened with two-fisted
offense in the first round that
gave him the stanza by wide
margin. He had fluffy on the can

In the second rounG, after the
crowd had decided Loudermilk was
in for a trouncing, the blond Holt

In the third Cannett duplicated
his performance of the first round,
He floored Tuffy twice and nearly
scored a k.o. Only the bell saved
Tuffy.
Then, with victory in grasp, Ca
nett ran into three vicious Louder
milk punches and lost the fight.
Groggy, Cannett had to spend the
fourth round covering up. Tuffy
tried desperately but lacked wind
and strength to score a knockout.
