Those who have started to count
the Brooklyn Dodgers out of the
National League pennant race be-
cause of their recent near disastrous
road trip, have done so without
taking into account Brooklyn's
amazing home record at Ebbets
Field where they still have 38 games
to play this season.
Forced to share the National
Leagues top berth with the st.
Louis Cardinals for four days after
leading the parade for more than
two months, the Dodgers wasted
little time upon their return home
yesterday to regain undisputed pos
session of first place.
This they did by the simple me-
dium of notching their 30th victory
in SO home games, at the expense
of the third-place Chicago Cubs
while the Cardinals were thrashed
by the New York Giants.
With an after-dark crowd of 30,677
fans on hand, the Dodgers eked
out a brilliant 81 triumph over the
Bruins, principally on the fine hurl-
ing of Southpaw Joe Hatten.
The Cubs only run was unearned.
A frst-inning outburst, highlighted
by Eddie Stevens double, produced
both Dodger tallies.
Giants Top Cards Ninth Time.
The Giants, nemesis of the Red
birds all season, showed the st. Louis
aggregation one full game behind
the Brooks when they beat the Cards
for the ninth time in ID meetings
this season by 81 score on the
strength of Johnny Mize's Goth home
run in the ninth inning with one
mate aboard.
In the American League, the pace
setting Boston Red SoX maintained
their 1112-game margin over the
runnerup New York Yankees by
taking advantage of pair of mis-
cues to defeat the Chicago White
SoX, Al. Although they raped Or
val Grove for IA hits, they needed
the help of errors by Luke Appling
and Frank Hayes to tally three un-
earned runs to pave the way for Tex
Hughson's 18th mound triumph.
The Yankees kept pace with the
Red Sox by coming from behind to
defeat the St. Louis Browns, So,

BaNpayers Demanding Radical Contract Changes
Newsom Hurting Above Record,
His Shutout of Tigers Shows
By Burton Hawkins
Star StafT Correspondent

DETROIT, July 25.-Bobo New
som, the Mats air-conditioned giant,
who never will pitch as brilliant a
game as he talks, has mediocre
record of seven victories and eight
defeats, but at the age of 81 Che
says noisy Newsom qualities as one
of baseball's better pitchers.
Since joining the Mats seven weeks
ago Newsom has won four games
and lost three, but that hardly re-
fleets the sort of pitching he has
been giving Washington. Only once
over that span has Newsom been
given a real pounding, when Bos-
tons power packed outfit kayoed
him in the first inning and, miracu-
lously, Bobo had no comment on
that shellacking save, Il just didn't
have my stuff"
Newsom's record with the Mats
just as easily could read six tri-
umphs against one defeat, for he
dropped 80, Thinning decision to
Detroit: lost a 10, 10-inning affair
to the Browns, and was leading, 80,
in the seventh inning against Cleve-
land when an argument with Umpire
Bill Summers resulted in Bobo exit
ing early.
B0bO's Color Pays Dividends.
That verbal exchange with Sum-
mers represents one of the few oc-
casions that Newsom's tendency
toward talking has damaged him.
Through the years he has estab-
lished himself as colorful bloke by
popping off on any subject at any
time and it has paid dividends IN
the salary he commands.
Newsom is the only ball player
who takes his wife on the road and
has her expenses paid by the club.
When Bobo was threatening to quit
the game a couple of years ago. he
limited that if Connie Mack would
boost the ante a bit and also pay
Mrs. Newsom's travelling expenses
Bobo would continue pitching. Mr..
Mack agreed.
Washington fans haven't. seen
Newsom hurl a bad game this year
and it hasn't harmed Clark Griffith S
bank account. NeWsom has av-
eraged pitching before $4,000 fans
at Griffith Stadium principally be-
cause the customers know Bobo
will give 'em a show and that he
hates to lose.
Newsom's record this season, had
it been backed by only $3.50 hitting,
could read 10 wins and five losses

The Homestead Grays are back at

Luis Marquee, second baseman, and
Sammy Bankhead, veteran short
stop, return to their old positions
after a layoff due to injuries.
The Grays will play the winner of
"a $50 o'clock game between the
Philadelphia Stars and New York
Cubans. This first tilt is for third
place in the Negro National League.

at this point, but it is 7-8 and 1t
doesn't mirror the marvellous pitch
ing he has been presenting the Mats.
Mr.. Big's pitching has been border
ing on the spectacular.
Checks Tigers Easily.
Bobo was in rare form here yes
terday in achieving 10 triumph
over the Tigers, rationing them to-
seven hits and pulling out of tough
predicaments with ease. Four men
reached second base against New
som, but none advanced as far as
third.
NeWSom was in trouble as early
as the first inning, when Doc Cram
er and Hank Greenberg belted sue
cessive singles with two out, but
Bobo retired Roy Cullenbine on a
fly to Stan Spence. In the ninth
inning Pinch hitter Freddy Hutch
inson scooted all the way to second
when Gerry Priddy permitted his
grounder to whisk between his legs,
but Newsom got Eddie Lake on a
pop fly to Priddy, then retired
George Kell on fly to Buddy Lewis.
Washington's only run off Dizzy
Trout was unearned. In the seventh
inning, Stan Spence, who collected
four of the Mats eight hits, singled
to center and continued to second on
Cramer's bobble. George Binks
sacrificed Stan to third and Pinch
hitter Cecil Travis fetched him
across with glorified pop. fly which
fell safely in short leftfield.
Fans Interference Costs Run
Jake Early followed Travis single
with a double to left and a Detroit
fan erased Washington run by
reaching over the field boxes to grab
the ball. Newsom then grounded out
and Sherry Robertson fouled out.
1t was Trout's second successive
10 loss to the Mats, with Gil Coan
providing the margin of defeat in
his last start by betting an eight
inning homer. Coan, incidentally.
will be missing from Washingtons
lineup for two or three more days
due to bruised thumb that has pre-
vented his gripping the bat properly.
Gil injured the thumb week ago.
but continued playing until the pain
necessitated his removal yesterday.
Sid Hudson or Mickey Haefner was
to pitch for the Mats here today,
with Hutchinson slated to work for
the Tigers. The Mats will invade
Cleveland tomorrow for a 6-game
series, with double-headers listed for
Sunday and Monday.

Spencer Seeking PGA Trip Aid
After Aiding Many With Golf
By MerreII WhittIesey

Cliff Spencer is looking for a
backer. The East Potomac profess
sional. who has contributed his
services, free of charge, to more
benefits, charity affairs and free
exhibitions than any other golf pro
in. this section, finds the shoe on the
other foot as he contemplates play
ing in the National PGA champion
ship August 1925 at Portland
Greg.
Spencer, who qualified along with
Andy Gibson and George Diffen-
baugh for the pros title tourney, has
until Sunday to make up his mind
but he wishes somebody would make
it up for him.
A qualifying berth in the PGA
this year is worth $3.50, even if the
player loses in the first round, but
that will not cover expenses, nor will
the mileage allowance granted by
the PGA.
Spencer, a f1ashy dresser, a long
hitter and stylist in making his
shots, never has turned down an
appeal to play a benefit match. He
participated in dozens on behlf OF
the Red Cross, several for the PGA
Rehabilitation fund, recently COM
pleted a series to raise money tC
send the public links qualifiers to
Denver and has played a number
of matches to aid PGA members or
their families.
Cliff said he would go the Tam
o. Shanter players who wear num-
bers one better. He'll sell ads on
the back of his shirt.
The toughest hole at Columbia
Country Club is the 11th, dogleg
par of 436 yards, trapped left and

sportsman who knew his trade. He had been one
of the best blocking and running backs that Rice

Rice's star team player. He handled the job at

At first I was puzzled that such quiet self

answer in about three days. Dyer knew his job,
and, without ever lifting his voice. he had the COM
