REALLY
 GOING TO TOWN
 NOW WITH REDS
Cincinnati Chucker BIOs- soming Forth as Leagues
 Foremost SOuthpaw
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug. 16-(UP)-John- ny Wander Nicer, who has known the heights and the depths in his major league career, has been giv- ing convincing evidence recently that he has just about conquered his chief bugaboo wildness-and is about to blossom forth as the Ma tional leagues foremost southpaw.
 After his two successive no-run, no-hit games in 1888, Wander Nicer went down fast. He struggled through the 1899 season, playing an obscure role in Cincinnati's championship. His record that sea- son was five victories and nine de- feats. He was even worse in 1940, finally getting so bad he couldn't even get the ball close to the plate. The Reds sent him to Indianapolis to cure his wildness.
 He won six games and lost four at Indianapolis, and finished up the year with the Reds, winning three out of four. One of his vic- tories was the pennant = clinching game. But he was still far away from winning regulor job on, the Reds staff. Manager Bill McKech- nie never knew when he sent him out to pitch whether he'd last an out, an inning or a game.
 But Wander Nicer has really hit his stride. In beating the Cubs yesterday, 3-1, he won his 12th game of the season and his fourth straight.
 Wander Meer's last four games show:
 Aug. 1: Team, Braves; score, 5-1; hits, 2; strikeouts, '; walks, 3.
 Aug. 6: Cards; Score, 5-1; hits, 8; strikeouts, g; walks, 2.
 Aug. 10: Team, Cubs; score, 3-l; hits, '; strikeouts, 2; walks, 3.
 Aug. IS: Team, Cubs, score, 3-1; hits, 6; strikeouts, 8; walks, 3.
 Wander Meer's triumph yesterday enabled the Reds to move into a third place tie with the idle Pir- ates. Only run made off him was Lou Stringers homer. After the second inning he allowed only two hits. X
 In the only day time American league game the Senators trimmed the RedrSox, 6-3, in a game halt ed after ? innings by rain. Man ager Joe Cronin protested the game on the grounds that Washington was negligent in covering the field after play was suspended. Alex Carrasquel, the ancient Latin from Caracas, Venezuela, scored his sixth straight triumph.
 The. Cleveland Indians lost a 5-2 decision to the Chicago White Sox in a night game that left them 16 games behind the idle Yankees, a game and a half in front of Bos- ton and two ahead of Chicago.
 The White Sox had two big inn ings - two runs in the sixth and three in the seventh. Campbell drove in two runs with 8 double in the sixth and two more were scored on Solters' double in the seventh. Al Smith was the losing pitcher.
 The St. Louis Browns, scoring a 6-1 night game victory over the Detroit Tigers, climbed to within half a game of the seventh place Washington Senators.

New York, Aug. 16-(UP)-Scat- tered paragapjhs containing scat- tered thoughts:
 A brisk argument is now under way over what was the longest hole in one ever shot. William A. Greene, New York advertising man, made 8 340-yard ace the other day at Rye, N. Y., and almost everybody. was ready to concede it was the longest on record. Today, however, T. Fred Goldsmith writes this depart ment that in 1929 he got an ace on 365-yard hole < at the Stamford in-the Catskill course. He presents impressive documentarly proof, too, so until all other precincts are heard from MT. Goldsmith is the champ.
 What was your geatest thrill in baseball department-Car Eubbell: Striking out Babe Ruth, Lou Geh- rig, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in that order in the first and second innings of the 1884 All-Star game. They were all great hitters and I guess never will for get that game" Gabby Hartnett: T guess the home run I hit against Pittsburgh in 1888. It gave my team, the Cubs, the Dall game by the final score of 6 to 5. It put us in first place by half a point. We went on from there to win the pennant."
 Best crack of the week depart ment-The fans at game between Albuquerque and Bisbee of the Arizona Texas league were com- blaming about the umpiring, accord ing to Charles Modesette in the Sporting News. You're rotten" fan yelled at the plate umpire, you don't even know the baseball rules" Another fan replied: How do you expect him to? They don't print em in Braille."
 Lou Nova was in dead earnest about that beard he grew in Maine, and wanted to wear it down at Pompton Lakes, N. J., where he sets up his training camp on Monday. Ray Carlen, his manager, sent posi- tive orders Tor him to have 1t cut of before arriving n New York. Nova went into a Boston barber shop and told 'em take it of. ;" They not only removed his beard, but gave him a crew haircut such as the, Harvard boys wear. It left him looking a bit peeled, but very tough.
 Marvin Shannan of Fort Worth, Texas, a blind golfer, has challenged for the blind championship of the United States. The present title- holder is Clint Russell of Duluth, who defeated Dr. w. H. K. Oxenham of England three years ago. Present plar.i are to play the match on Aus dst A at Duluth, Minn.> Blind men use caddies as their "eyes." The caddy describes the terrain, the lie of the ball, the dis tance to the hole and then places the club head in the poper position. The blind player than swings. Rus sell has been playing in the sos consistently.
 There's nothing wrong with the Pittsburgh Pirates these days except old man law of averagesan unbeat- able gent-has caught up with them. Anyway, Frankie FriSch's club put on good show while it lasted.
