CHICAGO GUBS i BEATEN TWICE . BY CINCINNATI — 1 Cubs Lose Three In Row, To Reds; Lead Is Cut i To Four Games ' New York. Aug. 16—(U.R) —Now '• is the time;-—about six weeks be--4 fore world series for till second ■ dlvlsloners to rise up and smack ■ down the pennant contenders. < All should be able to take a valuable lesson from the last place ' Philadelphia Athletics in the American league, and the slxthj place Cincinnati Reds in the Naa tlonal. Connie Mack’s pitiful A’s J have just finished humiliating the • swaggering New York Yankees ’ three straight, and the Chicago « Cubs suffered the same fate fiom •the Reds. I Friday the Cubs were 6’i games > ahead of Hie National parade and . today they were but four; the Yankees paced Hie junior circuit Iby 11 1 -,, and the A’s cut it to ten. Since the Cubs lost the services

of first baseman Jimmy Collins. , they have dropped five out of seven contests—two of three to Pittsburgh and three of four to Cincinnati. The Reds humbled the leaders twice yesterday, launching a 16-liit attack to take the opener 13-6. Alex Kampouris’ eighth inning home run furnished the margin in the 9-8 nightcap. The double defeat enabled the New York Giants to pick up a | game and a half as they took a ! 5-3 decision over Jimmy Wilson's ; Philadelphia Phillies. Clydell I | Castleman held the Phils to six | hits. A single and home runs by . Johnny Moore and Camilli ac-! counted for all Philadelphia's runs. ' Pittsburgh's Pirates picked up j two games on the third-place Car-1 dinals. They walloped Lon War-' neke and Mike Ryba for 16 hits—including four singles by Pilcher • Cy Blanton — to win the opener 8-4, then scored a 4-0 shutout behind the six hit hurling of Russ Bauers in the windup. Brooklyn and Boston divided, the Dodgers taking the first 5-3 only to be humbled 9-1 by the' three hit pitching of Danny MacFayden in the second. The second largest crowd of the season, 32.346. jammed into Shibe Park to see the A’s take the Yankees. 5-4. Rookie Edgar Smith allowed seven hits to score his first victory of the year. New York's famous sluggers were held to 18 hits — six per game —by rookie twirlers in their three day stay at Philadelphia. Tlie defeat cost New York none ‘ of its lead since the second place ' Detroit Tigers dropped one to the I St. Louis Browns. 9-7. The Boston Red Sox were ousted from third place when they dropped a pair to the Washington Senators. Wes Ferrell defeated his former mates, 8-3, and Monte Weaver allowed but eight hits to take the finale. 9-3. Chicago’s White Sox moved in--1 to the vacated spot with a double | victory ■ over Cleveland. The White Sox fell on Joe Heving for five straight hits and a 5-3 victory. I In the second game Chicago won 3-2. Yesterday’s hero—Edgar Smilh,

HOME STAY IS TOUGH ON CUBS Chicago’s Lead Dwindles As Cubs Lose 10 Games On Home Field Chicago. Aug. 16. (U.R) The Chicago Cubs, fumed for their bril liant play at home, were glad to hit the road today for 16 games in the , east after three disastrous weeks | in their new bandbox at Wrigley Field. Additional bleachers under con struction in the outfield have cut : 20 feet out of left field territory and before enemy hitters quit | shelling the new stands with bar- ' gain homers the Cubs had their j National league lead cut to four l games. ! Instead of a 16 foot wall tower | ing deep in left fieltL right handed ! batsmen aimed at a 12-foot wail almost within pop fly reach. The Cubs made their share of extra-base hits off the shortened wall but their pitching collapsed under the 21-game strain and the home stand expected to clinch the I pennant ended in a font. They embarked on their final ' major eastern invasion in the I weakest conditios of the season. With Jimmy tßip) Collins removied from first base by a broken ! ankle, it’s exactly the same Cub I team that kicked away the champI ionship to New York last fall. Collins’ absence was felt keenly : for the first time yesterday when ! the infield cracked Wide open in j the first inning of the second game • with Cincinnati. Every one of the four infielders booted the ball before the side was retired. Lack of pitching, however, contributed most to the record of 11 i victories and 10 defeats at M rigley I Field after they had crushed the • Giants and run their lead to seven ; full games. Even Tex Carleton, who beat the Giants with three hits and Boston with one. and old Charlie Root, finest relief pitcher in the league, ■ lost their touch. o —— # • Today’s Sport Parade (By* Henry McLemore) > ♦ Wichita, Kan..

I Bessie busied herself fanning Roy and bringing him ice water. “Bessie,” Roy said, “there ain’t i no use going to that ball game toThat kid couldn't throw a fast ball if he lived to be eighty.” “But we gotta go, Roy,” Bessie said, pulling on hat, “I want one J more look at that second baseman.

It was on just such afternoons as this that, Bessie and Roy. sitting unobstrusi ively in the grandstand, found such ■ baseball players as Art Shires. 1 Zeke Bonura, Luke Appling, Rip Radcliff. Monty Stratton. Carl Reynolds and others that we haven’t space to mention. For thirteen years Roy and Bessie—and Bessie is’the only woman scout in the history of major league baseball — have been hitting , the highways and byways, the whistletops and the jerkwaters,; the class A and the class Z, looking for baseball ivory. Their travels are never ending. Bouncing along in a car, they’ll average 35.000 miles a year; have covered more than half a million miles since they became “ivory" hunters. Foremost in their minds —always —is the hope that today’s sandlot game, tomorrow’s three-eye double header will uncover a great left handed pitcher.

■ I baseball scouts. No bibliophole ever coveted an original Sshakes- . peare manuscript more than scouts - do a natural southpaw pitcher. Good catchers are coveted, too, and they’re rare. I “Boys Just don't go in for catching." Bessie told me a little sadly. “They’re harder to find that diaf tnonds.” Bessie and Roy are proud of all j 1 the players they unearth, but 1 hadn’t talked to them five minutes ' before I felt that Appling—Luke, the Georgia boy was their chief pride. v “He’s the only Chicago player ever to win the batting champion ship of the American league,” Bessie said. ‘.’And he’s the only shortstop ever to lead in hitting. We! watched him three times in the . Southern league and they turned out to be $7,000 looks, because the White Sox paid $20,000 for him. The first time we saw him several scouts were there. He was terrible. lie knew scouts were watching him and he went all to pieces. The other scouts left, but we fol- j lowed the Atlanta team to Little Rock and saw him in a doubleheader. He was awkward, but he we fast and his arm was powerful. So we signed him. He gave us a lot of worry the first year he was with the Sox. He was just a kid. and whenever he had a bad day, would go in the clubhouse and cry | like a baby. But we never lost | faith.” The first thing a scout looks for in a player, the Largents said, was a strong atm. Ability to whip i the ball swiftly and quickly is the; prime requisite of a ball player.
