LON WARNEKE BEATS GIANTS Chicago Cubs Battling Desperately To Cut Leaders’ Margin New York, Aug. 27—<U.R>—<'hb cago's Cuba moved against the league-leading Giants for the sec-, ond game of their series today— j and there Is a do-or-dle attitude, about the Cubs that Is likely to i cause little shivers of trepidation j tp course up and down the spines | of Memphis Hill Terry and his companions. The Giants still hold a flve-and-a-half game margin, one less than they held yesterday morning. Hut ; a half dozen games may he big or little, according to the way a club is facing For a winning club, it la plenty; for a losing outfit. It Is. not so juuch. The Giants cannot help but re- 1 call the harrowing details of their last visit to Chicago, when a | dazzling five game lead was: knocked for a row of milk bottles The Giants went home a game and a half ahead and were glad it was , no worse. Yesterday the big guns of the Giants were cor.spciuously silent i as the.Xubs won 7 to 1. In fact, the Giants made as many dumb plays as they made hits — three j each. Fat iFTeddy Fitzsimmons. ' who pitched most of the game, walked five men —three more than he fanned. He gave ten hits in seven innings, while Mel Ott, who got a double and a single, and Travis Jackson with a single, were the only ones who cifihl touch Lon Warneke's delivery. St. Louis meanwhile took a severe headache from Brooklyn, which managed to split with the Cards, taking the first 11-5 and dropping the second 7-2. Cincinnati tripped up the sev-enth-place Phillies twice. Curt Davis losing a well-pitched game in the opener. 2-1, w’hile in the nightcap, Tony Piet’s looping double in the eighth drove two home, winning 6-5. Boston knocked off the Pirates, 8-5, scoring four in the seventh on an error, two walks and two hits. Larruping Lou Gehrig in his best home run form —two in the first and one. his 42nd. in the second game—helped the Yankees beat Chicago twice, 9-5 and 2-0. Detroit won from Philadelphia. 7-6. but had its lead shaved to four and a half games. Manager, Mickey Cochrane won the game in the tenth, scoring on Gehringer'u double. Washington dropped to a fifth place tie with St. Louis, losing both ends of a bargain bill, 3-') j and 9-5. George Blaeholder shut out the Nat with two hits in the first game. Cleveland and Boston divided. Oral Hildebrand clipping his former mate, Wes Ferrell, in the first game. 3-2, while Bill Werber's double and Roy Johnson’s triple broke up a deadlock in the late game, the Red Sox winning. 5-2.

MAXSCHMELIN6 WHIPS NEUSEL Former Heavyweight Champion Makes Impressive Showing Hamburg, Germany, Aug. 27. — (U.R) Max Schmeltng. the Teutou schlager who held the world's heavyweight title from 1930 to 1932, is back In the Held again as | a result of his crushing defeat of I Walter Neusel, a fellow German, at the Hamburg dirt track arena last night. Hitting with terrific power —ns strong, apparently, as he ever was, and certainly stronger than Neusel —the “black Uhlan of the Rhine" has pushed himself squarely in the path of Max Baer of California, who now holds the title der Maxie once held. "Tell America I’ve come back.” Schmeling said after the tight. He was not definite as to his immediate plans, except that he will seek an early match In the United States, possibly with the winner of the fight next month at Madison Square Garden between Steve Hamas and Art latsky. Schmeling has lost two fights since he lost the title —to Hamas land Baer and drew with Paolino Uzcudun. But his performance against Neusel yesterday unquestionably stamps him as among the front rank of contenders for Baer’s title. Der Maxie has gone back to his old style, feinting, weaving, driving in his piston-like right, and clubbing Neusel repeatedly with a murderous right-hand uppercut that had Neusel's face a swollen, bloody mass by the time the fight ended, at the close of the eighth round when Neusel was unable to come out for the ninth. Neusel carried only one round—the third. He weighed 198, Schmeling 193A4o STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

DROUGHT MAP IS PREPARED Three Small Counties In State Sutler Heaviest From Drought Lafayette, Ind.. Aug. 17.—<U.R> | Three small counties on the south | eastern border. Dearborn. Ohio and j Switzerland, suffered heaviest from ; the summer's extreme drought in Indiana, a map prepared by M. M. Justin, agricultural statistician at Purdue University, showed today Next hardest hit were 14 coun ties In the extreme north, the report showed. They were latke. Porter. Newton. Jasper, Benton. Pulaski. Starke, Marshall. Fulton. Koscfiisko, Whitley. Noble, Steuben and Lagrange. ■ The remainder of the state suf sered comparatively light dam-. age, with the extreme southwestera section showing the best condition, Justin reported. Pointing out the difficulty of predicting a dollars and cents loss In crops at the present time, Justin said that the peculiarly spotty I rainfall had resulted in unusual differences in neighboring areas. I Even within county boundary lines, some townships were in markedly better condition than ad I joining areas, he reported. The survey was confined principally to corn but is typical of i general crop conditions in the state, Justin said. The oats crop was generally poor over the state. Wheat generally was good except in northweetern Indiana where the drought And chinch bugs hit. Hay and pasture crops generally were short. QFT.
