CRIPPLED CUBS AGAIN DEFEATED . French Injured As Cincinnati Walloys Cubs, 1 10-3 New York. Apr. 29.—XU.R> Char ‘ lie Grimm’s moans were heard all 1 over the National league today. ' Ills Chicago Cubs are in last place, ! winner of only one game out of nix 1 but his main headache Is the Cubs' ' casualty list—three regular pitch--1 ers and the No. 1 catcher on the * shelf. Desperate for pitchers the Cubs ' have recalled Newell Kimball from • Los Angeles and he's due to join ! the club today in Pittsburgh. Cincinnati won its first game yes--1 terday, 10 to 3. at the expense of ' the crippled Cubs, breaking a fourgame losing streak.

The Reds collected 14 hits off French. Root and Bryant. Paul Derriug- . er scattered 11 hits to win his first game. Phil Weintraub hit a , homer for the Reds. Van Mungo. Brooklyn's fireball , ace, pitched the best game of the season, holding the Giants to three ; hits to win 3 to 2. After losing his first two starts Mungo came ( back to handcuff the Giants, one , of the three hits being a scratch. . Hal Schumacher was the losing | pitcher. | The Philadelphia Phillies blasted out 15 hits and beat the Bos- . ton Bees, 7 to 4, to move into third place in the Ntaional league. The Phils clouted Danny Macfayden ’ Earl Browne. Phils’ first sacker. ' for six runs in the first inning.

Cecil Travis, Senators' shortsTbp. hurt his right kilee slid- |' ing to third base in the 7th and j was carried from the field. Joe ' Cascareila was the losing pitcher. Gerald Walker kept up his hitt-' ing rampage as Detroit rocked the St. Louis Brow-ns. 11 to 5. Walker hit a homer and two singles, 1 giving him 13 hits in 18 times atl bat in four games for an average I of .722. Roxie Lawson, although tapped for 11 hits, won his second , game of the season.

gentsla. There Is little or nothing to say about Jack Torrance's first—and I am sure last fight in the big town. No matter whut your approach was when you went to the ringside, you were bound to leave empty handed. Those who went to laugh found no laughs. Those who went to criticize remained to pity. And those who went to praise lawdy me! They led him into the arena, still wearing Ilia college colors, at 10:20. He was clumsy getting through the ropes, and he was so excited when the time came for him to strip for action that his hands got all tangled up in his sleeves. He tripped over the sash. The lights and (he crowd bothered him. He kept blinking slowly at both.—Across from him Abe Simon, the 1 white of his moth protector showing through his lips, sat quietly on his stool. Then the bell rang and Tor- i rance ambled out. He didn't look like a tighter. There was a boyish frin on his big face, and he held ■ his hands awkwardly in front of him. Simon was on top of him in a second and cuffed him about the head. Torrance's face reddened and he pawed at his foe with both hands. He tried a little footwork, and the ring shook as he set his feet down with a clump-clump-clump. Late in the round Simon nailed him with a left to the jaw and the Louisiana boy stumbled crazily about the ring. He didn't loo"k mad. he didn't look hurt. Just bewildered. When the bell rang his face was coated with blood, and as he sat in the corner during the rest period the flesh in his legs and thighs quivered violently. The second round had barely started when Simon landed a solid left hook and Torrance went ( over backwards to the floor. In his ignorance he started to rise at the count of four but those at the ringside called to him to wait. As he rose from his knees Referee Donovan grabbed his gloves and wiped the resin from them. And, so slow were the reflexes of the Baton Rogue giant, before he could raise them in defense Simon had crossed the ring and struck him a flurry of blows in the face. He was down for eight this time, and again Donovan wiped his gloves. And again Simon was across the ring and hitting him before Jack

leotrtd lift his arms In defense. | y This time he stayed down, his left I cheek resting on the bloody mouth- 1 1.1 piece which had bounced from his s I mouth. i The fight game must be sorely I-1 pressed for talent to have to re(emit such men as Torrance for its • 1 attractions. He is no more gear ji ed for fighting than a Newfound I land. Slow, awkward, and utterly 1 lacking in the killer instlnce, he has only his size and his track ~ * und field reputation to trade on. t He would be wise to call it quits S right now and return to the delta > and the quiet life.
