ROTARY WINS BASEBALL TILT Pat Coffee's Rotary junior baseball teain continued its effort to win the city junior baseball title by trimming Harry Knapp's Lions aggregation at South Ward diamond last night 8 to 4. For a time the game developed Into a pitcher's duel, but the Rotary team took advantage of several breaks and romped away to a 4point victory. ■ The Lions aggregation played a fetter brand of baseball and the pitching was good. Harmon has lieen throwing a lot of good basenail for the Lions, In despite his efforts, fielders' errors have cost the Knappmen many runs anil fkfQrnpa, The last night game was regularly scheduled tor tonight, and as a result there will be no league game tonight. On Friday night at 5:30 o’clock the Moose and Legion team will tangle. O * BASEBALL BRIEFS •— — ♦ The National and American leagues offered striking contrasts tpday as leaders in both loops began new series. The National, with Chicago, Brooklyn and New York all battling for the lead, was closer than the second. The American, with Philadelphia In front, had only the second place fight between the New York and Washington teams to give it interest. The .National race tightened yesterday when Brooklyn was beaten 7 to 6 by the St. Louis Cards and forced to yield first place to the Chicago Cubs. 'St. Louis, trailing by two runs in the ninth, took advantage of two errors by Bisaone’tte, Brooklyn first baseman, to Score three runs. . Chicago moved into first place by defeating the Boston Braves, 4 to 2. Bud Teachout allowed but six hits and was given strong support at the plate. Riggs Stepheneon, in four times up, got two doubles, a single and a walk. The New York Giants were handed their first defeat in the current invasion of the west by Pittsburgh which took the last game of the series 8 to 5. The Phillies were beaten by Cincinnati 4 to 2. Kolp pitched for Cincinnati and did not give a hit until the sixth inning. On the American league Washington shaved ‘a game off Philadelphia’s ample lead and increased its margin over the third-place New York Ypnkees by turning back Cleveland 9 to 2. Urban ‘‘Red" Faber limited Philadelphia to seven hits as the lowly Chicago White Sox bumped the leaders 8 to 3. The EM. Louis Browns hit five home runs to defeat the New York Yankees 10 to 5. Danny MacFayden pitched a three-hit game as the Boston Red Sox humbled Detroit 5 to 1. Y’esterday’s hero was Goose Goslin. St. Louis Brown's left fielder, who hit his 25th and 26th home runs of the season, a double and a single to drive in half his team’s runs as the Browns defeated the

CUBS-ROBINS IN BIG SERIES Chicago, Aug. 12. — (U.R) —Brooklyn’s Robins, dark horse of the National league pennant race, and the Chicago Cubs, pre-season favorites to repeat their 1929 victory, were scheduled to meet today at Wrigley field in the first contest of a four-game series which is expected to decide the turbulent 1930 pennant race. The Cubs, riding on the crest of a five-game winning streak which has carried them to the top of the league, regard the "little world series" as the deciding point in their bid for a second successive pennant and wore confident of victory. The Robins, in the throes of their worst slump of the year, staked their chances on the strong right arm of Dazzy Vance, hoping to end a four-game losing streak and to break the “jinx" possess d by the Cubs in previous competition this year. Brooklyn’s confidence was weakened by four consecutive defeats by the St. Louis Cardinals and the fact that they have won only four games in 15 starts against the Cubs. Previous to running a foul the Cards, Brooklyn had experienced little trouble with clubs other than the Cubs, and at the start of the St. Louis engagement enjoyed a 3% game lead. Four defeats at St. Louis while the Cubs were winning four from Boston, left the Robins tied with the Cubs in games won and lost, but with the Chicagoans holding a .001 point percentage advantage. Standings as the team started play today were: W. L. Pct. Chicago 65 44 .596 Brooklyn ... 66 45 .595 The Robins have lost four gam s in a row only twice before this season and on both occasions the first three defeats were administered by the Cubs, with a loss to St. Louis completing the streak. With their longest losing streak already equalled and the Cubs as their opponents for the next four days, the Robins face a big mental handicap. The Robins have won only one game in seven starts at Wrigley field this season and Brooklyn supporters fear the present series may mark the start of a slump which will remove theii team from the ranks of pennant possibilities.

Yesterday’s defeat at St. Louis indicated the Robins are becoming panic stricken. Poor base running and erratic fielding—features of the play of Brooklyn teams in past years which have been missing during the 1930 drive — gave the Cards the game. Meanwhile the Cubs have been playing their best ball of the season. Hack Wilson, inspiration of the Cubs attack, is clubbing the ball at a record clip and threatens to establish a new National league home run mark. The pitching staff finally has hit its true gait and four successive low hit pitching performances by Bob Osborne, Pat Malone, Charley Root and Bud Teachout have eliminated manager McCarthy's worries over his mound staff. McCarthy planned to open the esries with Guy or Fred Blake and counted upon Bob Osborne and Root or Malone for the remaining

| games. Manager Wilbert Robinson of the : Robins was undecided regarding I his pitching rotation, but expressed | confidence that his team would make a creditable showing against the Cubs. “We had some bad breaks at St. Louis, but I’m not worrying about a slump," said Robinson. “The boys have come back like true champions after every previous setback this year and they'll do it this time, too.” o GOLFERS PLAN FOR TOURNEY — St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 12—(U.R)— Early arrival for the St. Paul $lO.000 open golf tournament this week-end teed off today for practice rounds. While most of the eastern professionals and golfers from the middle we=t were not expected to arrive until tomorrow, twin city entries and others from nearby states who arrived for a full week of practice, spent the day in shooting over the Keller links where the tournament will start Friday. Eighteen holes of golf will be played Friday, another 18 Saturday and the final 36 holes Sunday. The entry list today reached the 120 mark. Par for the Keller course is 72. Leonard Mattson, professional, holds the course record with a 68 but this mark is expected to be shattered with such stars as Horton Sm'th, Leo Diegel, Walter Ragen, Gene Sarazen, Tommy Armour, Al Espinosa, Harrison R. (Jerry) Johnston, Harry Cooper, Denny Shute and Al Watrous entered. Pat Sawyer, 6-year-old high school student who has won two golf tournament within the past two weeks, is one of the most colorful entries. Originally he was to have carried Horton Smith’s clubs. Now with the Minnesota amateur title and a cup for the Minnesota resorters golf tournament in his possession, he has entered in his own right.

BUTLER GETS ATHLETIC HEAD Harry M. Bell, former Lombard college coach will arrive on the Butler university campus tomorrow and assume his new duites as professor of athletics and head football coach, President Robert J. Aley announced today. Bell suceeds George “Potsy" Although Clark only recently signed a new three-year contract, It was said that difficulties between the university and the North-Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges prompted the change. Although Butler university announced no definite reason for the move. It was understood that Bell has been hired at a lower salary than Clark, tn an effort by the university tn regain its membership In the North-Oentral Association frnm which it was dismissed last spring. At time of dismissal, it was charged Butler was paying too much for athletics in proportion to

its funds spent for academic pur-' suits. It was announced that Bell will bring Dick Baxter, former Lombard athlete, to assist him in turning out bulklog grid teams. • Lombard recently merged with Knox college, both at Galesburg, 111.
