CHICAGO, Aug, 9.-Beaten back
to full game off the leading De-
troit Tigers, the Mats still were a
highly hopeful lot as they looked
to the remaining three games here
with Chicago's sizzling White Sox.
Even the loss Of their ace hitter
and veteran outfielder, George Case,
through injury early yesterday, and
the 7-3 paSting the White Sox hung
on them last night were not enough
to get the Mats down. For they we're
to take on another veteran outfield-
er today and, to a man, they be-
lieve Mike Kreevich, bought from
the Champion st. Louis Browns
only yesterday, will swing them
into a winning stride in their last
Western tour of the year.
What could have been a stunning
blow to the Mats pennant aspira-
tions perhaps was softened greatly
by the acquisition of Kreevich.
While Mike does not possess the
speed of a Case, he nevertheless is
a stout ballplayer and Of a type
likely to help the Washington club
over the rugged late-season road.
Case ran into trouble yesterday
more because he failed to let his
bosses know what he intended to
30 rather than anything else. He
and George Myatt, of their own ac-
cord, went to the White Sox park
in the morning to give base stealing
demonstrations before cameramen
making the American Leagues an

Lew Fonseca, promotional agent OF
the loop. Had Manager Os Bluege
or Edward Eynon, secretary of the
ball club, known of the players
plans, neither player would have
been permitted to work for the pic
ture.
Both Case and Myatt made sew
eral slides into second base, until
Case finally came UP with sprained
left ankle. He had the injury treat
ed at the ball park, but did not let
any one in charge of the WASH
ington club know about, it until
several hours later.
Had either Bluege or Eynon been
informed earlier, Kreevich would
have been telephoned at his home
at Springfield, ILL.,, about 200 miles
away, to proceed to Chicago to be on
hand for last nights game.
Case will be out for some time,

so far as Myatt's total is concerned.

steals for Case and 20 for Myatt
with 2lst for the latter still being
questioned.
Marino Pieretti took the hill for
the Mats last night and the way he
did not pitch the Mats never had
chance. The White Sox jumped
on the little. rookie for 13 hits,
clustering eight of those in the
second and third innings to get a
lead. Then they mauled him for
four more innings and hoped on
Wally Holborow for four hits and a
couple of extra runs in the eighth.
Oris Hockett punched both Nat
pitchers for a perfect night, to the
great delight of the 34,647 in Com
iskey Park. He got four hits, one
a double, off Pieretti, and a single
off Holborow.
In the meanwhile, the Mats could
muster but eight hits off the 40
year-old Earl Caldwell as he pitched
to his fourth night victory. Buddy
Lewis got triple and double, Joe
Kuhel got two doubles and George
Myatt triple and a single and these
three carried over the Mats tallies.
After counting in the first frame
the Mats passed up three good scor-
ing opportunities before scoring
again in the ninth. Kuhel doubled
at the start of the third and could
not get beyond third base. He dou-
bled again in the fifth with one out
and remained at second. Lewis
tripled with one gone in the seventh
and simply admired the scenery
around third base.
Caldwell's strikeout pitch-he had
seven strikeouts-stopped the Mats
in these pinches.

ment. After that the White Sox
had about everything their way.
Hockett doubled and Michaels
singled, then Hockett tailed as
fresh drilled into a double play in
the second. Farrell opened the
third with a single. After Schalk
sacrificed, Dickshot singled Farrell
home, but it took three more singles
to get Dickshot to the plate and put
the White Sox ahead.
Three more singles got the Sox
another counter in the sixth, al
though had Pieretti not been hit
and bowled over while trying to
make an out at first there would
have been no score. A pass to
Baker, a long hit by Hockett and
Michaels' foul to Zardon in the left
field corner in the seventh registered
the fifth Chicago run.
Four hits, one by Hockett, of
Holborow, meant two runs for the
Sox in the eighth after two were out.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. "a
tiny David among the big city foot
ball Goliaths as population goes,
Green Bay, with its professional
football champion Packers, nonethe-
less has been the most consistent
winner since the National Football
League was organized in 1921.
Today the Packers open practice
for their game with the College ALL
Stars at Soldier Field in Chicago,
August 80. Tonight the Packers
and the community of $4,000 that
owns them, celebrate their silver
anniversary at banquet.
Earl L. (Curly) Lambeau organ
lied the Packers, played with them
and has coached them since they
were a transforming bunch back
in 1919.
Tied With Bears in Titles.
AS he looks back at the records,
he finds:
The Packers and the Chicago
Bears are tied for most champion
ships won - six Q929-30-31-3 -36-39-
44; the Packers have won the most
consecutive Championships; have
the longest consecutive winning
streak -23 1928-193O, and the
Packers and the Chicago Cardinals
are the only teams to represent the
same city since the league began.
With a $500 nest egg from the
long-defunct Indian Packing Co. for
which the team was named, Lam
beau led former Green Bay High
School players through an l1-game
campaign in 1919 with only one
setback. Instead of sesaries, the
players split a slim postseason
financial melon. Each player pock-
eted $16.50 or $150 per game. That
was the team that outscored its ri
walls SOS to 18.
Lambeau Is Savior.
A charter league member in 1921,
the Packers sponsor withdrew his
franchise the next year, but Lam
beau raised the necessary franchise
money and in 1923, Green Bay
group of 500 contributed 81 500 and
the club became genuinely home
owned.
In 1888, the Packers again found
the community behind them. More
than $4,000 was subscribed, and
each subscriber was made stock
holder in the reorganized Green
Bay Packers, Inc.
In "a years the Packers have made
money for their hackers, kept up
with the leaders and are one of the
biggest drawing cards in the circuit
all this in the leagues smallest
city.
Their 24-year record shows 1872
games won, rs lost, and 81 tied,
while outscoring the opposition,
