FISHER 10 TAKES
l2-6 GAME

OFisher Towers continued their
winning ways observation-disclosures
a habit-as they marked up their
oath victory of the season with
a 1875 trouncing of the Indian
team of st. Clair in an exhibit
ton clash.
Although Margie Miller, Tow
ers' hurler, allowed IL hits, the
Redskins were unable to get
around the bases after they gain
ed first. Meanwhile, the local
sluggers slapped out Ia hits.
Leading the Fisher girls were
Virginia Madaus, with homer
and two singles in five times up,
Geraldine Quandt, who marked
a double and two singles in four
trips, and Boulier, who slammed
out two doubles and single in
four attempts.
Madaus and Quandt both scor-
ed three times.
For the losers, Evelyn Miller
handled the mound duties and
Vanderman took batting honors
with two singles in three tries.
The locals, who played at ST.
Clair yesterday, will not play
again until Thursday when they
play the same team there gain
in a Blue Water League game.

meanwhile, entertain the Pr

OF the most recent activities,
topped off by yesterdays pro-
ceedings, the whole business
appears to rest on the right
hand elbowing equipment Of
Kirby Higbe and Whitley
Wyatt 50 far as Brooklyn Is
concerned, while the Cards
have to do their riding on the
left wing of Ernie White and
the right arm Of Mort Cooper.
Brooklyn's front-line Fingers
performed yesterday. F ir s t
Higbe served up a five-hitter to
scalp the Braves, 81. Then
Wyatt went out there and for
8 1/3 innings he had the first
perfect game in nearly 20 years.
But, with one gone in the ninth,
Phil Mast, q fearful batsman
with an average currently soar
ing in the .230's, poked a pitch
over second base for a single.
Wyatt wound up with that one
hitter for q 80 whitewash job.
WARNEKE BELTED OUT
The Cards, meanwhile sailed
into Pittsburgh in the first game
as though they owned the BUGS.
Spanked by a four-run first-inn-
ing rally, they coasted to a IL
decision behind Mort Cooper's
throwing. In the night
cap, the Pirates piled up an 81
edge, largely through a six-run
second inning party. Long Lon
Warneke was belted out of the
box for the third straight time.

Dodgers Lead

7wo Leaders to Start

Associated Press Sports Writer
The National League serves
the dessert course this week.
Up to now, it's been a little
of this and a little of that in
Ford Tricks fiesta, and some of
the boys got q ham sandwich
and some came up with juicy
steak. The Brooklyn Dodgers
found a choice tid-bit yesterday
in the Boston Braves and are
resting, at the moment, at the
head of the table by a half game.
The st. Louis Cardinals picked
a tough order of beef in the
Pittsburgh Pirates and sank out
of first place with q double
header split.
But beginning today, the
tables cleared again and the
pennant pie is trotted out to be
cut up. The Cardinals lead the
eastern charge of the Western
invaders for the last time this
year. And by q week from
tomorrow, when the new gas
house gang and the rebuilt
buns of the gowanus wind up
a four game-series, you'll pro-
badly have a fair-to-middlin'
idea just who is going to have
the pleasure of being offered up
to the New York Yankees in

Collecting the All-Stars for

deadlocked at 90 of 100 in the
handicap when darkness over
took them Sunday. Golden

Fromes TO Coin Win

Q Mount Clemens continued Its
steady march toward the Ma
comb County League baseball
title yesterday as they set the
Van Dyke nine down, 8-3.
The victory came the hard
way. With the score tied at
three-all until the eighth, the To-
Gals hit the jackpot in the eighth
to break up the ball game. Ban
now, playing left field, stepped
up to the plate and laid out q
three-bag hit with three on.
Continuing the good work, an
other run was added in the
same inning and still another
in the last.
UTICA BEATS
NEW BALTIMORE
At the same time yesterday,
Utica edged out New Baltimore,
SD on the basis of three-run
fifth inning party, when a fluke
error and a small collection of
hits put the Utica team out in
front.
Mount Clemens will meet
Utica In q playoff game next
Sunday. One or the other team
must win two out of there to cop
the championship.
New Baltimore, scoring once
in the first and twice in the
third, had a 80 lead until the
fifth. They failed to score after
the third, while Utica, backing
the 13-strikeout hurting of Mis-
ner, marked a fifth time in the
eighth.

and gave three passes to first.
Bates, hurting for New Balti-
more, famed seven and allowed
eight hits.
At the plate, Albrecht, local
short, got three for four and
Bannow laid out two in three.
Van Dyke hits were scattered
seven men.
Smith and Todt both got two
for four against Utica and Fer
ris marked up the same for the
Utica outfit.
Bannow, Moose" Moore's left
fielder added to his batting laur-
els by racing back to take long
one over his shoulder in a beau
tiful catch.

ROOKIE ROUNDUP

The Dodgers have a red-hot
pitching prospect in Victor Lom-
bardi of their Johnstown (Pa.)
Glass D Farm. He's a little
guy, fresh out of high school, and
the scouts didn't pay much at
tention to him until he began
striking out an average of Is a
game. :. One of the big reasons
for the success of the Camp Up
ton team is Catcher Hank Bu-
nowski, who belonged to the tt
gers until Uncle Sam grabbed
him. Connie Mack considered
himself lucky to have first call
on Don Richmond, Williamsport
third-sacker, but the Army may
get priority. /. j.. The Reds report
that outfielder Eddie Lukon, up
from Knoxville, made a swell
impression in his Big League
debut. . Mebbe they Lukon
him as great prospect.

Only Entry
Takes Gold
Race

ORED BANK, N. j., Aug. 49,
R-The famed Gold Cup race
appears as dead as last years
Christmas tree but so long as
motors balk and boats tip, the
sport of speedboat racing will
retain the element of uncertain
ty that draws crowds.
Zalmon C. (Zammy) Simmons
of Greenwich, Conn.,, won the
38-year-old trophy that symbol
ICES the big-boat championship
by driving his my Sin" once
over the 30-mile course Satur-
day after all the other boats en-
tered had failed to appear. Even
he acknowledged that it wasn't
much fun to win that way.
After that was over, the driv-
ers and spectators really had
some fun.
10000 SEE RACES
Yesterday, with 10000 look
ing on, two world records were
set in the inboard classes; a new
national sweepstakes champion
was crowned and the cupboard
pilots, though unable to set any
records, provided plenty of
thrills in their efforts to keep
their tiny craft from upsetting
on the choppy North Shrews-
bury River.
George Schrafft, a recent Har-
ward graduate from Newton,
Mass, won the national sweep
stakes with his Chrissie w after
the defending champion, Jack
Pop" Cooper of Kansas City,
was forced out of action.
Schrafft just did manage to fin
ish the final heat. After chasing
Joseph Taggart's Tommyann
3rd, of Canton, Ohio, home in
the first heat and winning the
second when the Taggart craft
was forced out with a broken
oil line, Schrafft's motor petered
out with a lap to 60 on the final
15-mile heat. He managed to get
it started again, limped across
the finish at about Is miles an
hour and collected enough points
to win the race. His total was
1927 points to 794 for Frank Ripp
of Rockville Center, N. Y, who
took a fourth, second and first
in the three heats with his Mea-
dowmere 3rd.
SERIES OF MISHAPS
Cooper had a series of mis-
haps to illustrate the uncertain
ties that beset a speedboat racer.
He had motor trouble Saturday
with his new "Tops" so he
changed motors, using the one
from Tops 3rd. He had no time
to overhaul the motor that had
run through 10 consecutive
races. Still he got up to second
place in the second heat and then

world record for class B racing
inboard runabouts twice in sue
