LEFT HANDERS HARD ON BUGS Pirates Downfall Attributed To Lack of Ability To Hit Southpaws New York. Aug. 20 —(UP) —Left hauled pitipe s are threaten, i: tn ruin the 1932 National League Pennant hcJ.'es of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates, who only a month ago a. peired safely out in front with a five game lead, have slipped to third place, largely because they haven't been able t fathom Southpaw pitching. They dropped their sixteenth' game in their last 18 st.trls yesterday when the Giants pounded out a 10 to 4 victory and it marked the eleventh time in the losing streak that they had been tu ted back by left-handers. The Pirites hit hard enough yesterday but Carl Hubbell merely went-through the motions in registering his 14th victoiy of the season for the Giants gave him a sixrun lead in the first tuning. 'Henle Heine and Leon Chagnow were the victims cf the New York attack. The defeat dropped the pirates to third place as Brooklyn whipped Cinetaiwti. 6 to 0, to move into the runner-up position. Van Lingle Miingo continued his brilliant hurl-: ing in turning back the Reds with six hits, in his last 37 innings. Mungo has 'yielded only three runs. Brooklyn advanced within two games cf the leading Chicago Cubs, who d rclpped a 6 to 5 decision to the Braves. The Braves pounded

AFTER Max Schmeling lost | his heavyweight title to the i terrible Sharkey man, Manager Joe Jacobs emitted loud and ' iong squawks to the effect that his Mox” had been robbed, jobbed and swindled by Referee “Gunboat” Smith and his confreres. Joe reached *he highest peaks of oratory in his Enunciations of the "unjust” verlict. and, with the help of the radio commentators, who in describing the battle gave millions of )isteners-in the impression that Schmeling was winning, Jacobs r maged to find lots of sympathizers. Thus Jacobs and Schmeling found themselves in *. very favorable nosition; for, despite the undeniable fact that the great majority if the actual spectators of the fight agreed with the official decision in thinking that Sharkey was clearly the winner, the vast multitude of people who judged the fight by radio or written reports believed and

Malone, Herrmann and Grimes for ‘ 14 hits to score their only victory! lin the four game series. Jakie Flower's single scoring Wilson gave the Cardinals a5 t 4 vic , | tory over the Phillies. i The Athletics tightened their hold on second place in the American! League standings when they won a doubleheader from Cleveland 9 to i 7 and 3 to 2, In 10 innings. Fieitas held the Indians set reless after the second inning of the second con-1' test and helped win his own game with a single. New York and Retrdt divided a twin bill, the Tigers takiiig the I first game 4 to 3. and the Yankees | winning the second 6 to 5. T :iy , Lazzeri’s single in the ninth inning I gave New York its victory. Babe i Ruth hit his 35th home run of the , I ye r in the night cap. Washington tock both ends of a ; doubleheader front the White Sox.: 4 to 3 and 3 to 1. Fred Marberry 1 allowed only six hits in the first ; game while Bill McAffee, pitching 1 his fi st game for Washington turn-' ed back the Sax with five safeties.

probably still believe that the German was robbed of his title. It seems that Mr. Jacobs, who returned from Germany a few weeks ago, realizes now that Schmeling is in an even better spot than if he had retained the championship. Discussing this recently with some newspaper men, Jacobs said, philosophically, “Maybe it was ail for the best. Schmeling probably will make more money now than if he had kept the title, and, anyway, he’ll get it back when he fights Sharkey again. Sharkey will have to fight him, because there is nobody else around who would mean anything at the gate with Sharkey." Jacobs is likely enough to be right about Schmeling making more cash . because of the loss of his crown, t Heavyweight champions never box ’ more often than once a year, and 1 now that Schmeling has no title to ■ worry about he can engage in sevI eral highly profitable bouts while

waiting for the return match with Sharkey next summer. And. then again, Max is much more of a popular favorite now than he was as titleholder, since many people still have the idea that he is a kind of fistic martyr, unjustly deprived of his crown. Jacobs has a prosperous program outlined for the durable German. The first step will be a September fight against a not too formidable opponent, and then Jacobs expectto have Max box the winner of Johnston’s elimination tourney This fight may come off at Miami in February Then. \if everything works out as expected, he foresee:another Sharkey bout for next June i which he hopes will put the title . back in the possession of the Ger : man puncher.

ROOSEVELT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE “horse-sense" that needed no leg-' islation to restore the confidence of the people in the honesty of their government. The address was the New York governors first since the acceptance speech of President Hoover. The address formally opened the Democratic presidential candidate's speaking campaign It was designed to give the nation, in part at least, the economic remedies to be presented by the Democratic party. Roosevelt spoke before the Ohio ■ state Demociat convention at the! Columbus baseball'club stadium. He minced no words in laying the ; blame for what he termed the collapse of the nations economic structure squarely on the front door steps of the White House. Columbus. 0.. Aug. 20 —(U.R)' Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt speeded westward today to open his ! first campaign trip with an ad- , dress here bofore the Ohio Democratic convention late today. The nominee. memUers of his party and newspapermen left Al-1 banv. N.Y.. shortly before mid-! night in two snecial cars attached, to the Lake Shore limited of the New York Central. The train was I due here at 1 p. m. The governor's party included ; Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Curtis B. ! Fahl. his daughter; James Roosevelt. his eldest son: Janies A. Farley, chairman of the national committee. and Joseph C. O'Mahoney, vice-chairman of the Wyoming state committee. Roosevelt's Columbus address will be his first campaign speech. | I Previously lie had spoken twice, j : but one was a radio address and the other was before the Chicago convention that nominated him. H's topic today probably will fall within the broad realm of “economics". Part of tlie speech may he a reply to President Hoover's acceptance address. The nominee’s stay in Columbus will be brief. He planned to leave tonight, returning to Albany to-! morrow’ for a brief rest before re-1 suming the hearing of ouster; charges against Mayor James J. I Walker Monday. Interest in Speech Washington.

SO far, the 1932 golf season has v produced more sensational o golf than any season in recent e times. Sarazen’s marvelous feats j in shooting record-breaking golf to ( win both 0. S. and British open ti- s ties must go down as perhaps the f greatest exhibition of tournament j golf in links annals, but there were t also several other remarkable exhibitions this summer. i Chief among these was the phe- c nomenal golf flashed by Olin Dutra. 1 husky California “pro,” who made I great showings in the National ( Open, the Canadian Open, the West- 1 ■rn Onen and the Metropolits” t )pen championships. His two f1..., ’ rounds of 68 and 65 at Lido were 1 I little short of miraculous, since Lido | lis one of the toughest golf courses I in America. It is a sea-side links, t

I Curtis' acceptance speech to argue i that Republicans are attempting' ’ to face both ways on prohibition, j To build up tills point they etn- ' phasized that the Republicans did i not include New York and Chicago ! radio stations in the time lought for tlie Curtis notification speech.j "Do the Republicans think that i iby keeping hL remarks out ofj these two wet centers that they, j can prevent the voters from know-, ing that the front and back of the! Republican ticket do not agree on ; this question?” asked Senator Tyi dings. Dem., Md.. in a statement' issued through the Democratic natonal committee. White House officials were not interested in talking politics today. How President Hoover felt over the fact that his personal views regarding prohibition were not echoed by his running mate, and whether Curtis advised the White House in advance of what

with heavy ocean winds sweeping ' over it. The fairways are narrow I and are bordered with a coarse sea grass which grows waist deep. I Greens are severely trapped—and so Dutra’s final round of 65 must go down in the records as one of the greatest rounds of competitive golf : the United States has ever seen. Olin will win the Nationsl Open < sooner or later. He would have become a top-flight golfer sooner than he did if it hadn’t been for the fact that he was lost to golf for four or five years in his early twenties. Between the time he learned to play as a caddy, at Del Monte, Cal., and when he flashed to the front as professional at the Brentwood Club, he nut in all of his time as clerk in a hardware store.
