LIVELY BALL GAINS FRIENDS New York. Aug 22 tl'l’i Contradictory evidence was a callable today in the Lively Hall controversy as the iesult of two remarkable series at the Polo Grounds and Ebbets field Out of eight games played between the Chicago Cubs and New York Giants at the Polo Grounds and the St. Ixntls Catditiuls and Brooklyn Robins at Ebbets Field, only one game yesterday s 9 to 2 victory for the Cubs over the Giants —ended in a one-sided score. Three of the tour games at Ebbets Field were decided by one run and the Cardinals departed with a record of 20 scoreless innings and two straight shut-outs registered against them The Cubs won two of the first three games from the Giants and scored only three runs. Four shutouts were registered In the two series, Pat Malone and Hal Carlsen blanking the Giants and Ray Noes and Close Dudley whitewashing the Cardinals. The total runs scored by each team tn four games follow: Cubs 12; Brooklyn 10; Giants 6; Cardinals 5. Nine of the Cubs' runs were made in the last game. The Cubs averaged only 3 runs per game, the Robins 2%, the Giants I*2 and the Cardinals 11,.I 1 ,. Only three times In the eight games did any one of the four teams make as many as 10 hits. The Cubs made 14 hits yesterday off Benton. Mays and Scott and the Giants made 10 off Root. In the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader the Cardinals made 10 hits off Dazzy Vance. The following pitching performances were recorded; 2 four-hit games; 2 five hit games; 5 six-hit games; 1 sevenhit game. Some fans wondered today if the Magnates had slipped in a flock of “dead" balls in the two series to see what the fans' reactions were to tight pitching and close scores. If such was the case, the answer is • that they want the "dead" ball, close games and low score. The Giants-Cubs series, despite one poor game, was termed the best of the year at the Polo < Grounds. Every one of the games at Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field, except the final New York-Chicago contest, gripped the fans’ attention and provided thrills and Tension lacking in the home-run orgies and heavy-hitting onesided games. The scores of the games follow: Polo Grounds —Cubs 1, Giants 0: Gianst 4; Cubs 1; Cubs 1. Giants 0; Cubs 9. Giants 2. Ebbets Field—Brooklyn 3; Cards 2; Cards 2, Brooklyn 2; Brooklyn 4, Cards 0; Brooklyn 1. Cards 0. o Favorite Race Horse Is Victim of Plot Chicago, Aug. 22.—(U.F9—Evidence has been uncovered at Hawthorne race track here that Click, favorite to win the Meditation purse yesterday, was the victim of a plot. Presiding Steward Joseph Murphy suspended the license of A. J. Daniels, trainer of Click, and ordered

SPEAKING OF SP®RT BY FRANK GETTY

By Frank Getty United Press Sports Editor Rudy, How Could You? Pasted over the loud speaker of my radio, if > had a radio, there would be a newspaper photograph which has been gracing the sports pages of late, depicting Rudy Vallee, in person, disporting himself at Gus Wilson’s Orangeburg training camp in a pair of purple boxing tights somewhat too large for him. And then, when the crooning voice came over the ether, setting my fair companion, provided I hod a fair companion, "simply wild about Rudy.” I would simply glance at the photograph anil have a long, loud laugh for myself. I do not profess to cut any better figure in such a costume myself, but the cases are dissimilar. (There is nothing about my voice that disturbs other people's lady friends, etiher.) Rudy, it seems, is a friend of the promoter. Humbert ,1. Fugazy, and the stunt was to obtain publicity for a fight in which Victorio Campolo was to participate. The stunt clicked all right, for all the newspapers used the picture. But It just about ruined Rudy, with any of the fair sex who may have entertained illusions based entirely upon his talent with a microphone. The spectacle of a stumpy, curlvhaired, lumpy-kneed youngster awte ■ wardly posed vis a-vis, with a tower-

ing, broad-shouldered muscular athlete is one that will do much toward stilling the flutter that starts up in most eminine hearts when Rudy starts "Moanin' Low" through his pesky megaphone. Honest. 1 ain’t jealous, but yon know how it is. The Compleat Publicist The business of attracting attention to orthcoming fistic productions by introducing outsiders is being vastly overdone these days, anyhow. The legitimate news from a fight camp concerns the progress of the boxer in his training, so that fans may judge for themselves ills chances in the combat for which lie Is preparing. Hut nowadays, it doesn’t stop with that. There must be quaint visitors of l>otli sexes, native orchestras, keys of the city, airplane rides, golf matches, and so on down to the inevitable attempt to put poison in the cream. This last usually is reserved for the eve of the fight, although some of our eager publicists up around Madison Square Garden can restrain themselves only with difficulty. Kid Chocolate and Al Singer are training for what promises to lie the season's best fight ti week hence, but from reading some of the press material emanating from their respective camps you would gather the im presaion that they are training to substitute for Joe Cook in his oneman band act.
