NEW YORK. July ia bunch of
the boys were commiserating with
old Sarge Street on the hard luck
of his st. Looey Browns, when Louis
Norman (Buck) Newsom, the pitch
ing pride Of Hartsvile, s. c.. took
the floor like the old-fashioned
travelling salesman in the smoking
car and told his own tale Of woe.
Long before he had finished his ora
tion, the crowd agreed he was not
only baseball's greatest wanderer, but
its tough luck champion.
"All Of you guys" said Buck. don't
know the meaning Of tough luck.
I lay claim to the bad luck and
uniform changing championship Of
the game. To me plenty has hap
pened In II years I've changed
uniforms some 23 times, broken my
left leg three times and suffered such
little things as blood poisoning, in
fected fingers and 4 brain concus-
sion. And more, I claim to be the
only man ever kicked out of the
big leagues by = mule. The critter
broke my leg just rs was to re-
port to the Chicago Cubs, and it was
more minors for OF Buck"
His Wanderings = Mystery.
Inasmuch as q log always tells q
good story and the fact that Bucks
baseball wanderings always have been
q deep mystery to the record keepers.

Columbia, 8. c., then managed by his
present boss, Gabby Street. Too wild
he was sent to Salisbury of the Pied
mont League and thence back to
semi-pro ball at Cheraw, S. c., a team
he jumped in midseason to win II
and lose 2 for Andrews, . coastal
semi-pro club.
1928 to 80. Back to Columbia
and again released because he argued
too loud over his salary before the
opening game. Won or games fol
Raleigh, N. c., but walked 10 batterl

N. c., where he won one and his re-
lease. Made good at Wilmington, N

to Jersey City. I'd rather plow thar

one day, so Jersey City shipped hin
back to Macon. Buck took his cast
to Commissioner K. M. lands, wor
it, and was sent to Kansas City.
1891 to 80. Before Kansas City
opened the season, Buck was sent t.
Little Rock. Chicago Cubs draftes

RICHMOND. Va, July Is R.-.
Branch Bocock, William and Mary's
veteran coach, said today in COM
menting on subsidization problems
Of college football that the re-
crliting agents of some institutions
"surpass the ability OF big league
baseball scouts in the tactics and

players"
THE lure of monetary profits
from gate receipts and q desire for
athletic prestige have caused many
educational institutions to adopt

professional attitude toward foot
ball." Bocock declared.

In consequence, there exists

players. Their services are sought

tential varsity players from pre-

Of the demand for their services.
They are, with few exceptions, alert
to capitalize their talents by attend
ing the institution promising the
highest pay, oftentimes in careless
disregard of their ultimate welfare.
At many institutions the time has
passed when the members Of the
varsity football teams are selected
from students who have enrolled at

Back home in first place.!
That has a comfortable sound for
any ball club. especially one which
hasn't had taste Of World Series
glory for more than a decade.
That's just the position Of the Pitts
burgh Pirates today.
They finished up their road chores
in Chicago yesterday by pounding out
14-to-6 victory over the hapless
Cubs. It was their thirteenth straight
win-the longest streak since 1922
when they also won l3-and it put
them in the lead by hairs breadth
or two. Today they return home to
face the National Leagues Eastern
clubs, starting with the Brooklyn
Dodgers. who knocked their hated
rivals. the New York Giants, out of
the lead yesterday by beating them
1875.
BY one way Of counting, the Giants
have q half-game bulge, but since they
have played more games, their per-
centage is lower, 635 to Pittsburgh's s

The American League came close to
having q shift in leadership as well,
for the Cleveland Indians took q s-8
setback at Washington in the first
game Of their Eastern tour, while the
fast-stepping New York Yankees
knocked on the st. Louis Browns twice.
7-3 and 10-5. The Tribe managed to
hold the top by a half-game margin,
but the Yanks and their hackers figure
its just q matter Of time before they
cut that down.
Brooklyn. incidentally, explored the
stratospheric heights of sixth place for
the first time since the middle of May
as they gained their first triumph over
the Giants in II clashes. The cincin-
natl Reds beat out st. Louis, 6-5, in
the other National League game and
dropped the Cards to seventh.
The remaining major league contest
saw the Chicago White Sox scoring
five runs on homers by Mike Kreevich
and Joe Kuhel. to hand the Athletics
their eighth straight defeat, SIS. De-
troit and the Boston Red Sox were
rained out, while the Phillies and Bos-
ton Bees had an open date.
Todd and Waner Clout,

17-hit Pirate attack that gave the
Cubs their sixth straight setback
Todd drove in five runs with q homer
double and single, while Waner made
four singles.
The Giants didn't exactly throw
away their game, but four errors were
an important factor in Brooklyn's
eight-run first inning, and so were -four
passes.
Lou Gehrig and Joe Di Maggie con.
tributed homers, the 14th for each, to
the Yankee twin win, and Red Rufiine
batted in three runs with a pair OF
doubles in the opener to help win his
