In the first tilt, Union Chapel, despite a five-run rally In the final frame, lost to St. Patrick's of Fort j Wayne, 11 to 9. The final inning rally was featured by a triple by Strickler ana a home run by Maddox. St. Patrick's had a big inning in the third, when eight men crossed the platter on four hits, four errors. and two bases on balls. With each team obtaining only five hits, Zion Reformed nosed out the St. Mary's team from Fort Wayne in the nightcap. 3 to 2. A double by Worthman and Reed's single drove in one run in the sec..nd and the final runs counled Ir | the fourth on a walk and hits by i Schafer and Huffman, aided by a St. Mary's error. St. Mary's counted both its runs in the fourth on three extra-base hits and an error. R II E St. Patrick's 028 10—11 12 4 I Union Chapel 010 35 — 97 7 Schaffer and F.

Since the Redbirds left St. Louis nine days ago. Johnson has won every game that the Cards ! haven't lost. Beginning the eastern invasion without the services of Dizzy Dean who has a bruised toe, Manager Frankie Frisch was in a desperate way for starting pitchers. Johnson certainly had given no indication that he might fill the breach. He had lost three games ' and had won only one. But Si was a changed pitcher. He won the first game out of town when he came to the relief of Weiland against Pittsburgh. Then after three days of idleness Frisch started him in the first game of a double-header against Philadelphia. Johnson, yielding eight hits, scored a 10-3 triumph. Then, with the score 10-10 in the second game he came in as a relief pitcher in the ninth inning. The Cards batted in 8 runs in the tenth and gave I him an 18-10 triumph. After losing the next three games to the New York Giants, 1 the Cards called upon Si again I yesterday, and he rewarded them I with a six-hit performance and a I 3-2 victory. The defeat dropped the Giants i a full game behind the leading I Chicago Cubs. Tex Carleton also | hurled six hit ball to give the I Cubs a 9-0 victory and a clean sweep of their four-game series against Brooklyn. A ninth inning run on Paul Waner's double and Gus Suhr's single gave Pittsburgh a 6-5 decision over Philadelphia. Cincinnati at Boston was played on a former date. In the American league, the leading Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians 8-5 behind the effective pitching of Lefty Gomez who scored his fifth straight and 13th win of the year. Chicago kept pace with a 6-4 decision over Boston, and Detroit downed Wash , ington 8-4, behind the eight-hit pitching of rookie Cletus (Boots) Poffenberger. Hank Greenberg paced a 13-hit attack with his 21st home run and two singles. Yesterday’s hero: Manager Jimnij Dykes of the Chicago White Sox who in an eighth inning pinch-hii role, clouted a double that drove s in the two winning runs againsl : Boston. o Seal Thumbs Ride Salinas, Cal. (U.R) — Al Sligh 33-year-old golf professional, avers that the training of seals has reached a point where they now know how to give the hitch-hiking signal. Slight, driving a county truck, encountered a seal which had come ashore and wandered four miles from the ocean. The seal promptly signaled his hitch hiking desires with a flip of its tail, and Sligh took it aboard and l back to the ocean.

The company indicated ■ it would not try to reopen its sac-i > tory for several days unless a set-, ■ tlement were effected. Exact union demands were not revealed, but it was reported work- ’ ers requested wages of 75 cents | ’ an hour for those now receiving an average of 50 cents. As the con--1 ference ended, Forrest G. McKee, ■’ the company president, comment- • ed. “we claimed we were negoti--1 ating with them.

Scores of the Henkel victory were <-•>. 2-6. 6-3, 6-4. The victory in the interzone final series between winners of I North American zone and h’tro pean zone champions put 11 United States Into the challenge round against England The United States victory today indicated that the historic tennis I trophy would go back to the American side of the Atlantic tot the first time since 1927. Expert opinion was that the winner of the interzone final ultimately would succeed England as Davis cup champion. England this yeai must play without its star. Fred 1 Perry, now a professional. The Budge-Von Cramrn match was one of the real thrillers, of the International competition 1 lie Californian had beaten Von ■ Cramm in the finals ot the allEngland tourney at Wimbledon and was rated a probable victor over the German in their match today. But Von Cramm. whose strokes are as stylish as the game has ever produced, outfought and outsteadied Budge in the first two ! sets to become an almost certain winner. Then Von Cramm tired. Budge swept the third set. and, after the intermission the German failed to regain his form. The final set was the big story of the Davis cup play thus tar this season. Von Cramm, although obviously tired, called on all his resources to make what looked like a damaging service break in the fourth game. Budge, however, i broke back in the seventh. Games then followed service. Von Crainm winning the eleventh at love, and Budge taking the twelfth at love. They were then deadlocked at six-games-all. Budge put on a great rally and broke Von Cramm at love, to place America one game away from the challenge round, and finally won out. 10 points to 8, in the final game.
