MARTINSBURG FANS RECALL LEFTY GROVE

MARTINSBURG, w Va, July
Sold time baseball fans here
remember Robert Moses Grove
chiefly as the tall, awkward
ieft-hander who paid for the new
fence around the Martinsburg
ball park.
That was away back in 1920

Credit for the discovery of
Grove, one of baseball's all-time
great pitchers, goes to 4BilP'
Louden, an old-time player with
the Detroit Tigers, who induced
the great Grove to leave the
hills of Lonanconing, Md, and
enter professional baseball.
Louden Signed Him
Here in Martinsburg where
Grove got his start in pro ball
with the old Blue Sox of the now
defunct Glass ID Blue Ridge
League, DR.. G. P. Morrison, then
club president, recalls incidents
concerning the entrance of the
famed portsider into organized

club to see if he would be in

Jr., came here and Immediately
fell for Grove.
An agreement was reached
whereby Grove would be taken
by the Orioles for $4,000, DR..
Morrison said. According to

NEW /. YORK July 30.-The
latest crucial series between
the St. Louis Cardinals and the
Brooklyn Dodgers for domina-
ton of the National League re-
manned crucial yesterday aft
ernoon.
For three-and-a-half hours,
the Cards and Dodgers fought to
TT tie. The Flatbush nine
had the game practically sewed
up after they piled up a 6-l lead
in the first five innings. Then
the Daffy boys fell apart, allow
ing the Cards to score six runs
in the sixth and go out front, 7-6.
The Dodgers showed over lone
marker in the ninth to knot
the count and battle on even
terms through the twelfth in

Each club wasted opportuni-
ties to score in the extra rounds.
St. Louis used four moundsmen
in the twelve innings to two for
the Dodgers. The game will be
PLAYED off tomorrow.
Chicago Cubs walloped the

Cincinnati Reds came from be-

Giants, IA. Going into the
fourth, the Giants had the Reds
40. From then on out, the New
Workers failed to score, while
the Redlegs chalked up two in
the fourth and sewed up the
battle with five-run rally in
the fifth.
Four runs in the second in

Pittsburgh Pirates to defeat the
Boston Braves. Final count, aft

New York Yankees continued
to blast homers yesterday but
not enough to overcome the dam

In one inning alone, the Detroit

6-S. Joe DiMaggio blasted his
oath base-circler of the season
with a mate on base and Red

Chicago White Sox rose into
fourth position by virtue of a
thrilling 10 triumph of the Phil
adelphia Athletics. With each
giving up just four hits, Edgar
Smith of the Sox and Phil March
ildon of the AS hooked up in
one of the tightest mound duels
of the year. Luke Appling's
triple in the fourth scoring a
teammate was the only run of
the thrilling fight.

That's the Setup, and good one
it is. But nothing ever happens, ex-
cept the unreeling Of string of the
usual cliches found in newspaper
VS.. gangster photoplays. Mr.. Robin
son and Mr.. Arnold snarl at each
other in manner reminiscent of
all past melodramas about the
strange doings during the day of
the Noble Experiment Laraine
Day loves the editor, only to go
unnoticed. William T. Orr loves
Marsha Hunt only to be confused
and almost put off completely by
her apparent high regard of Mr..
Arnold.
Through it all there is conflict
between the partner who feels he
should be able to silence a news
paper if he is half-owner of it and
the partner who feels an inner urge
to shed the harsh yellow light of
tabloidism on all crime. With this
theme Mr.. LIE Roy does manage to
make his melodrama crackle at
moments, of course, but usually the
emotion aroused by "Unholy Part
ners" is that uncomfortable feeling
that you have been here before.
