Reds Victinliized
By Boxmen in
) Of Last 4
Shutout by Lohrmon Of
Giants Follows Losses
To Fette and Wyatt
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The glory road is getting tough
for the Cincinnati Reds, who sud-
denly have struck the seasons best
pitching in the National League.
In losing three out of their last
four games the Reds ran into a l.
hit pitching job by Boston's Lou
Fette, 5-hitter at night by Whit
low Wyatt, Brooklyn's undefeated
rookie, and 2-hit spectacle un-
covered by Bill Lohrman Of the
New York Giants yesterday.
The first two setbacks were just
nuisances for Deacon Bill McKeech-
ME, but the TO shutout by the
Giants was real headache, because
the Terrymen really are getting ter
rible and unless the Reds stop them
in this series are going to cause lot
of trouble-but quickly.
Giants Win IL of Last l3.
New York has won II of its last l3
games and climbed from sixth to
third place in approximately two
weeks. Couched two games out of
second place and six and one-half
behind the Reds, the Giants are in
position to gouge the leaders unless
Cincinnati can discipline them this
week end.
They didn't make much of a start
in this direction as the series opened
yesterday. Paul Derringer, the Reds
veteran mound ace, was dubbed for
a dozen hits and five runs before be-
ing removed for pinchhitter in the
sixth.
On the other hand Lohrman, a
sophomore right-hander. who was
not even considered of starting tim
ber until desperation downed Man
ager Bill Terry a couple of weeks
ago. permitted only two widely-sep
arated singles and never gave a base
on balls.
The second place ST Louis Cardi-
nails postponed their Friday game
with Boston to make a Sunday
uble-header. but the Chicago Cubs
who also are revived and challenging,
made the most of their chance by
padding the Phillies, 4-3.
Bill Lee, who finally is getting back
in gear, won a duel with Max
Butcher on eight hits to extend the
Bruins undefeated string to seven
games-siX victories and a tie. He
received some noble assistance from
Stan Hack, who made three hits.
Bauers Stages Comeback.
Another pitching comeback was
the seven-hit performance of Pitts
burgh's Big Russ Bauers, who has
been nursing a sore shoulder since
Memorial Day. Bauers went the
route for the first time this season
to beat the Dodgers, 81. Dolph
Camilli ambitiously tried to score
from first on single in the eighth
and was thrown out at the plate,
averting possible rally.
Rain ruined half the American
League program-the st. Louis
Browns at New York and the Chi
cago White Sox at Boston-laeving
the stage to the Cleveland Indians
and Detroit Tigers.

Poor Fielding Figures in Loss.
1t was some rather mediocre field

largely was responsible for the Tig-

the opener of a three-game series.
Neither contributed errors, but both
failed to reach chances which base
ball men unanimously agreed should
have represented putouts.
The Mats had manufactured a
20 lead as Dutch Leonard limited
the Tigers to a single in his first
three innings, but Detroit whitfield
it to 2-L in the fourth and tied it
up in the sixth.
Then, in the seventh, they ex-

five runs and that, it developed,
was sufficient.

coveted early season reward of
Washington's Junior Davis Cup
Committee.
Offering the No. 4 post on the

three ranking players were barred
the j. D. C. Committee today had
inserted Billy Turner's name into
that slot-symbolic of his victory

But Turner, who has picked up

victories as he carved out in the
recent tourney.
In beating Eddie Richardson, IS,

KeItner, Bonuro Advance
As McQuinn, Arnovich
Hold to Steady Poce
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 24-Morrie
Arnovich and George McQuinn have
made such a steady assignment out
of their batting leadership that most
of the fun lately has been left to
their pursuers.
Arnovich, star outfielder of the
PhlllleS, has maintained a fast gait
above or close to the 400 bracket for
several weeks and had a mark OF
.399 Friday, while McQInn. the St.
Louis Browns first baseman, who
has headed the American League
cast for nearly as long, had 1853.
Keltner Scars Again.
However. this stability hasn't ex-
tended to their associates among the
selected 10 leaders in each league.
For instance, Ken Keltner of Cleve-
land. who was among the leaders in
May, dropped out the first week in
June, then popped up two weeks ago
with $40 average, and was out
again within week on a 19-point
skid.
Now he is back again, this time
batting .34l and ranking third among
the American League hitters.
Zeke Bonura of the New York
Giants was another climber this
week. A l9-point boost in his per-
centage to 1861 lifted him to second
place among the National Leaguers
as Frank Mccormick of the Reds
dropped from $50 to 1882 during
the week.
An even longer skid was made by
Brooklyn's Ernie Koy who dropped
from third place at .344 clear out of
the 10 leaders.

Two noteworthy additions to the
National League group were Mel OFT

A||-Star Bid
White Sox Vet Wins 7
In Row Since LOSING
Seasons Opener
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

NEW YORK, June 24.-Somewhat
overlooked in the shuttle is the most
remarkable job of pitching being
done in the big leagues this season
by the veteran Ted Lyons of the
Chicago White Sox. He deserves a
spot on the American League staff
for the all-star game next month.
The old boy wonder from Baylor
University has pitched and won
seven complete games since he lost
his first start of the season to the
St. Louis Browns. Some of them
have been pretty sloppy" he says,
but he won them, nevertheless.
On July it will be 16 years to
the day since Ted, fresh from his
triumphs at Baylor, pitched in his
first game for the White Sox. 1t
was little relief chore and it's still
worth chuckle to him.
I'VE were behind 6 to 0 when
Eddie Collins, who was handling the
club that day in the absence of Kid
Gleason, sent me in to pitch the
eighth inning" Ted recalled. Il got
EN- out all right, and in our half
we scored three runs and had the
bases filled when it came my time
to bat.
Gives Way to Pinch Hitter.
I was halfway out there, swing
ing two bats. before Collins could
catch me. He asked me what I
was doing, and I told him 1 was
going to smack one, of course. He
got a big kick out of it. Asked me
II would mind if he put in pinch
hitter for me just that once. Then
ne led me gently back to the dug
out l was disappointed. because l
had been a pretty good hitter at
Baylor"
Ted is one of the few active big
leaguerS who went in straight from
the college campus. He doesn't think
there's likely to be many more, be-
cause the clubs prefer that their
youngsters receive some minor
league seasoning these days. Most
baseball men agree Bob Feller would
have attained his present greatness
earlier if Cleveland had farmed him
out for a year instead of yanking
him right out of high school.
The old arm feels about as good
as ever after 16 years" Ted says.
"Of course, l can't still rely on that
high, hard one like I used to, and
I'm pitching only once a week now
But some days my fast one still has
a lot of life in it. and l use my
knuckler more than before I had a
sore arm back in 1929 I lost 20
games that year"
Thinks Deans Case Similar.
Ted says he thinks his sore flipper
was exactly the same ailment that
has afflicted Dizzy Dean for two sea-
sons. They've compared cases. and
he thinks Deans arm is coming back
gradually just like his did.
You can tell that Dizzy's arm is
getting better when he starts pop
ping off again." he grinned.
From his long experience with
him, Ted noninates AL Simmons as
the greatest right-hand hitter he
ever faced. Al, he says, could be
completely fooled on a pitch and still
hit it for double The batter who
has given him the most personal
trouble for the last eight or nine
years, though, is Charley Gehringer
of Detroit.
''No. never figured out any fool
proof way of pitching to Babe Ruth.
He could hit anything, but he liked
fast balls best. I at least learned not
to give him that kind"
