DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1937.

AUKERDEFEATS 1 YANKEES WITH ONLY TWO HITS Yankees In Severe Slump But Continue To Maintain Lead New York, July 29 —(UP)—The champion New York Yankees presented a Baffling baseball puzzle today. They are In their worst slump of the year but still riding ] high, six games ahead of the field. The only reason the situation I isn’t alarming is because no club can take advantage of the Golden, opportunity. The White Sox, who’ve been hanging at the Yank’s heels, went -Into a nose-dive at the crucial moment, dropping two in a row to | Washington. Detroit in doing the I best it can with a shaky pitching I staff. The Yanks have lost five out of their last seven games. What’s worse they looked terrible even when they won. Their pitching has gone sour, with their two aces. Ruffing and Gomez, being belted hard in their last two starts, losing three I out "f four. Their fielding has been Bush-leaguish. Only Joe Di Maggio, , Lou Gehrig and Tommy Henrich have been hitting, and Henrich is now laid up with water on the knee. I New York's attack reached its] lowest level since May 20 yesterday | when the Detroit Tigers slammed] out an 8-1 victory. Eldon Auker let the Yanks down with two singles—by Rolfe and DI Maggie, Charlie Gehringer and Gerald, IX 11.- I*, th/, *I ‘ MTV* 9 V * n4AA.. tr I

Charlie Gehringer and Gerald, Walker led the Tigers’ 15-hit attack I with three hits each. The victory ■ moved Detroit into second place. Washington gathered L 6 hita off Vernon Kennedy and beat the White Sox, 11-8. Eric McNair’s | single in the ninth drove in Joe, Cronin with the winning run as the Boston Red sox wen from the St. ] Louis Browns, 5-4. Jimmy Foxx hit! homer No. 25. Collecting 17 hits, in- 1 cludfbghomens by Moses and Parker, the Athletics won their second straight from Cleveland 11-7. Bob Feller, pitching -one-third of an inning in a relief role, allowed two singles, a walk and a run. Frank DeMaree starred as the Chicago Cubs beat Brooklyn, 7-5, and held their three-game lead in the National League race. Bemaree hit a homer and two singlets for as perfect day, “3 for 3” and drove in three runs. Staging a five-run rally in the Warneke to caver and beat the Cardinals. 8-4.

Today’s Sport Parade (By Hanry McLemore) ♦ ♦ New York. July 29.-- (U.R)—Whatever it is that beats eternal In the human breast —hope, optimism, or] foolishness — Her Maxmillian Schmeling of Berlin, Germany, has plenty of it. No one can seriously doubt this after learning that Schmeling is busy selecting a new wardrobe for another trip to America and another challenge for the heavy-1 weight boxing championship of the world. I heard the news today and was so surprised that my brand spanking new yachting outfit that I have purchased for Newport wear lacked epaulettes, brass buttons, and an extra pocket for mothersills. ? Maybe the man has “greayhound-of-the-seaitis,” that being a mal-I ady a man catches after his 200th Atlantic crossing. Once with it, nothing satisfies the victim but to be ever on the rolling deep. Certainly Schmeling has crossed from Hamburg to New York and vice versa, as we refer to the New York to Hamburg trip, often enough to feel out of place anywhere but on the top of a wave. It would have been an economy move on his part to buy an ocean liner for his private use. As it is. he has crossed so often that ship captains stand on him instead of the bridge, and take his word on navigation in preference to mathematics and the sextant. If he isn’t suffering from “grey--1 hound-of-the-seaitis’’ then he must I have developed such a fondness‘for i the old boxing game of "run around" that he just must come over and play it with Madison Square Garden and Mike Jacobs.

You would think, wouldn’t you, that Schmeling would be tired of always being “it?" That he would demand that someone else be given the “run around” once in a while. Certainly the magnificent double-cross that was handed him by Braddock should have taught him that nothing is so worthless as a boxing promise—unless it be a written boxing contract. But he's a hard one to convince, and is coming over, this time with the high hope of meeting the winner of the Louis-Farr fight. Schmeling wants to meet the victor of this monumental encounter in Philadelphia. If Farr happened to be the winner, Philadelphia would be a grand place to hold ft. In the first place, Philadelphia

is the city of brotherly love. In the second, Philadelphia is a peaceful, quiet city, where the burghers love nothing so much as a good sleep. A battle between Maxie and Tommy would offer every incentive to a restful snooze. There would be nothing but the bell ring to keep them awake. Even if he doesn’t get a shot at Louis — his real objective — Schmeling probably will find work on this side. Because promoter Jacobs has mapped out a fight program for his fighters—and try and name a fighter who isn't under the all embracing 20th Century wing —that is ambitious to say the least. Beside a card with four champions on ft, Mike has krranged for Jimmy Braddock to meet Maxie Baer,
