Cardinals Snare
19, Tie One Of
Last u Ti|ts
M'Kechnie Uses Seven
HurIers as Leaders
Drop Twin Bill
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Man the pump, mates, the gas
house is on fire
Those bells ringing in st. Louis
may have sounded like false alarm
to some fans, but the IL and rs
victories the Cardinals captured from
the Cincinnati Reds yesterday made
everybody know this is a real four
alarmer.
The new Gas House Gang has won
10 and tied one of its last % games,
and burned the Reds National
League lead down to 3l2 games.
The great Chicago fire-when the
Cubs won % of their last 40 games
to overtake the Pittsburgh Pirates
year ago-is being dwarfed rapidly
into insignificance.
The Cards ate into the Reds yes
terday with the leagues most
effective power attack With the
score tied in the first games eighth
inning. Jimmy Brown singled with
the bases loaded. The gang went
on to score six runs in two innings
Mize Hits Two Homers.
In the nightcap, Johnny Mize hit
two home runs, one with two on and
the other with one aboard Manager
Bill McKechnie, his pitching staff
no longer shockproof, used several
hurlers in the two games.
Even the Cincinnati fans must
have felt the bottom falling out,
because the double-header in the
pennant-hungry Rhineland drew
only 28,432 fans, in contrast with the
a0,807 who jammed Sportsmans Park
in St. Louis to see the same teams
the previous Sunday.
The Cubs and Pirates divided their
double bill, Chicago winning the
opener, 9-5. to extend the Pirates
losing streak to II games and set
new league record for the season.
Max Butcher pitched Pittsburgh to
two-hit, SO shutout in the second
session, shortened to six innings by
Pennsylvania Sunday law.
The New York Giants and Phila-
delphia Phillies also split their bar
gain program, with Prince Hal Schu-
macher leading the Terrymen to an
8-4 triumph in the first game. Gil
Bricks double with the bases loaded
gave the Phils the nightcap, 80.
Home Runs Beat Yankees.
The Boston Bees and Brooklyn
! Dodgers were rained out.
Home runs by Dick Siebert and
Bob Johnson gave the Philadelphia
Athletics a 5-4 victory in their first
game with the New York Yankees,
but Steve Sundras shit pitching
and assorted slugging, led by Red
Rolfe, who homered in each game,
won the second for the champions,
5-1. 1t was Sundra's seventh tri-
umph without defeat.
The loWly st. Louis Browns spoiled
Buck Newsom Day" for Newsom at
st. Louis by beating the Detroit
Tigers, 6-2, behind Vernon Kennedy's
shit hurting. The second game
was rained out.
Chicago's courageous White Sox
chalked up their seventh consecu-
tive triumph in a i0-inning, 6-5
struggle against the Cleveland In
dians. A single by Eric McNair
scored two runs in the 10th to over
take the Tribe.

Play Tonight
Warm BottIing Due
In Qualifying on
Parks Courts

It promises to be difficult even
to qualify for the eleventh annual
Evening Star horseshoe champion
ships, the eliminations of which will
begin next Thursday night on the
National Capital Parks courts at
Fifteenth street and Constitution
avenue.
Tonight, starting at 7 o'clock,
scores of pitchers will fire the
qualifying round of 100 shoes, with
16 to carry on in match play in
each of the sectors involved North
ern Virginia, Southern Maryland
and Washington.
With the largest between seasons
talent increase in the history of
the sport here many new names
are expected when the lineups are
posted for the championship play
offs.
Also Shoot Tomorrow Night.
The qualifying test of 100 shoes
will end tomorrow night and pair
ings will be published the following
day.
Harry Woodfield, promotional di-
rector of the Washington-S Suburban
Horseshoe Pitchers Association, will
manage the doings tonight and to-
morrow night. Any pitcher desir-
ing to compete should report to him
at the courts. He will be assigned
court and scorer. The f1ippers
will go to it singly in the qualify
ing test, with a ringer counting the
customary three points and a close
shoe, one. Because of the i'm
proved class of the field, none of
the veteran observers has come
forward with a prediction of the
minimum qualifying score in any
sector.
Preliminary a Warm Contest.
The f1ippers regard it as a worth
while achievement to post high
score in the preliminary and an
interesting contest is expected with
Boo Henson of Arlington, Lee Flesh
man of Maryland and Charley
Howery of Arlington as favorites
Henson has an average 81 per cent
ringers for seasons play in the
Metropolitan Singles League with
Fleshman about points behind him
Howery late conner to the league
about equaled Fleshman's pace.
The courts are in perfect shape.
How the newly installed lighting
system will function won't be known
until tonight. The Juice was turned

their decisive victories over D. G. S.

Kleins drove over three runs in
the second inning and as many more
in the fifth yesterday to clinch an
80 decision over the Grocers, who
pounded Bill Liggett freely, but were
unable to bunch any of their II hits.
MoXley and Statler were the batting
stars of the fray.
Flood, still showing tremendous
batting punch, drove Slant from the
hill with siX-run barrage in the
first inning that sewed up the game.
Mostow, Perlo and Vermillion topped
the batting, the last named polling
four hits. Eddie also shared pitch
ing duties with Jack Redinger and
although they were nicked for 13
base hits they escaped. serious
trouble.
Jack Hoffman's Cardinals and
Police Boys Club No. 10 were re-
turned victors in the only junior
tilts of the afternoon. The Cards
swamped No. 4.Police, Ill, as Cop
page gave up only two hits, while

Lands Return of WeIoj Boon
To Mats; Prichord Also Help
As Red Sox Bill Is Divided

1t strictly was Judge Landis' idea
to return Outheldel Johnny Welaj
and First Baseman Bob Prichard
to Washington after the Mats had
shipped them back to the bushes
Springfield, it was-with a Wont
Do tag on them
But today, as the Mats prepared
to leave for their last western
swing of the year, nearly everybody
was admitting that Lands idea
wasn't SO bad. after all. Welai and
Prichard think it was a swell move
and even Manager Bucky Harris is
beginning to like the way his BALL
players are being manipulated for
him.
. Because, you see, the Mats may
find some good use for this pair,
especially Welaj Ever since he
came back, following Lands edict
and the investigation of Scout Joe
Cambria's tactics in dealing with
his players, Welaj has been a handy
gent to have around. Harris has
used him in three of the last four
games and the slim youngster has
responded by picking up five hits
two of them doubles-in IL times
at bat. Translated, this is batting
average of AIT.
Moreover, Harris has found Welaj
a more than able relief man for
Centerfelder Sammy West, who
doesn't like this hot weather any
more than the rest, but who is
trifle older than the average Nat.
Johnny vowed the seasons biggest
crowd - $4,000 yesterday as the
Mats and Red Sox split a double
header, with one of the great plays
of the season.
Welaj Exchanged for Loane.
Welaj did it against Johnny Pea
cock in the eighth inning, when
the Sox were threatening to take
Walter Masterson apart. There
were two Bostons on base when
Peacock lashed line drive to right
center. Welaj went after it all the
way. Two were out and it was die,
dog, or eat the meat AK. His dive
stopped the ball couple of inches
from the ground, but as he rolled
over the jolt knocked it free of his
glove. The ball popped out like
a trained white mouse, struck his
chest as he whirled and, somehow,
bobbed up in Johnny's bare hand,
which he held high in the air
while on his back, for all of the
umpires and Red Sox to see.
Johnny was sent back in the be-
ginning, you know. because birdie
whispered in Clark Griffith's ear
that Bob Loane, another Springfield
outf1elder, packed more punch at bat
than Welaj. The Mats, in case you
don't know, need right-hand hitting
| power. So John went back and
Loane came up to set an all-time
brief record as major league. Poor
Robert lasted no time at all. He
couldn't have hit Arch Mcdonald Il
the fat man trotted across the plate
Prichard's Double Play Helps.
When Loane went back the Mats
decided not to bother getting any,
body else. For some time they
struggled along with only four fly
chasers and of the group only West
is a centerf1elder. So when Sammy
got tired, he just got tired.
Welaj's pardon may even mean 6

such thing. Johnny can cover
