GIANTS NEAR LEAGUE LEAD Victory Today Will Give Giants Lead Over Cubs New York, Aug. 30 — (U.P) Rookie Cliff Menton goes gunning j for his 14th victory of the season j today against Cincinnati at tlie; Polo grounds, and if he bags it the New York Giants will lead the National league tonight. Today's game will climax a drive started by Memphis Bill Ter j ry’s gang on Aug. 12. Since then ( they have won 12 out of 15 games j and gained six games on the Cbi--1 cago Cubs who held the top perch , today by .002 percentage point!. By dropping five out of their last six starts, both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates appear to be out of the race. The Cards are 7*4 games behind the Cubs, and the Cube are 10 games from the top. New York held the lead for a 1 ( couple of hours yesterday after I they had beaten the Cincinnati 1 Reds, 7-2. while the Cubs dropped j the first end of a double header to j | the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-3, but j j the Cubs came back to win the sec | ond. 2-1, and thus moved back in | j front by a half game. Harry Gumbert scattered eight j hits to win for the Giants, while i the New Yorkers collected 11 ' Mulcahy scattered eight safeties | to beat the Cubs in the curtain | raiser, while Larry French dis- ; I tributed a half-dozen to win the I i nightcap. Frank Demaree's homer with a mate aboard gave Chicago its winning margin. A double by Roy Johnson, .a three-bagger by Gene Moore, and Ray Mueller's single for two runs in the ninth gave the Boston Bees I the first game against St. Louis. ; | 3-2. Ray Harrell missed the hall j of fame when he blanked the Bees j 3-0 In the second. Mueller’s single I in the sixth was the only hit. Brooklyn climbed out of the eel i lar—above Cincinnati—by handing Pittsburgh a double defeat. Wait 1 Hoyt scattered 11 hits to take the ■ opener, 5-3, and Luke Hamlin distributed 10 for a 6-3 decision in the windup. Oddly, the Dodgers got the same number of Hits as the Pirates in each contest. The Yankees increased their American league lead to games. Red Ruffing chalked up hi* 17th victory of the year, 7-4. , against the Detroit Tigers. Ren got three singles and Gehrig and Hoag clouted homers for New York; Greenberg and Laabs sock ed a pair for Detroit. All the other clubs divided dou-ble-headers. Philadelphia wallop • ed Chicago 16-0, in the opener. They scored 12 runs in the first ! inning, for a new high in the I initial frame of any American league championship game. Bob I Johnson hatted in six runs with a 1 homer and a single, most any ! junior circuit batsman ever clouted across the plate in one stanza. It also tied the major league rec- | ord Fred Markle set with the New j York Giants May 13. 1911. Johnson's hatting orgy did not stop there. He smacked a double in the fifth, another homer in the seventh and a single in the ninth for five hits in six trips. The White Sox came back to win the i nightcap 5-3. Boston blanked the St. Louis j Browns 2 0 behind the four-hit hurling of ex-Brownie Buck New-1 som, then succumbed 8-3 in the | finale. The Cleveland Indians sunk Washington 11-4, but the Senators i came hack to beat Bob Feller 6-2. ! in the windup. Yesterday's hero: Bob Johnson. Philadelphia Athletic left fielder, who drove in six runs with a homer and a single in one inning to set a new American league mark and tie the 26-year-old major league top. He also hit another

j four-bagger, another single and a I double. — — o I Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) ;♦ New York. Aug. 30. —<U.R>—One !of the unwritten laws which govi ern sports columnists says that whenever a world's heavyweight championship fight is postponed, a column must be written describing the effects of the delay on the rival gladiators. Never one to break rules. I am going to write a dispatch today in I which I will describe how the Messrs. Louis and Farr reacted ' when their tiff for fistiana's highj est bauble, originally scheduled j for last Thursday, was advanced 1 until today because of rain. Joe Louis, as high strung as a banana crate, practically went to pieces when told that he would have to wait four days before slaughtering the Welshman. 1 was there when he was tiTid of the postponement and therefore can give you his exact and exciting words: “Huh! ain’t no fight tonight? Let s get up a poker game.” In those 11 words —in those 11 breathless words —you have a picture of the keyed up.on-edge, restless. nervous, defender of the world’s heavyweight title. Back in his camp, in Pompton Lakes, Louis vented his nervousness on food and sleep. Six times I he tore into streaks of French fries, eating them with a reckless- ! ness which betrayed his nervousness and had table manners, j Farr was even more affected by the postponement than Louis. He j reminded one of a condemned mai ) who. juet when he was getting his pants leg slit by the warden, was handed a message from the governor saying he had been reprieved. Farr was so touched, in fact, so moved, that he invited three of his training camp friends to go into a drugstore and have a nickel drink on him. Those who know Farr couldn’t quite believe their ears when Tommy made this ofI fer, because in the six short weeks 1 he had been here, Tommy had established a tremendous reputation | as a miser. j His training camp is more eeon--1 omically conducted than any in ; history. His food's awful, the ring he works in is creaky, the gloves he uses are a year old if they’re a day, and he hasn't changed his lin-

t en since he waved a touching farewell to the loved ones at South-1 hampton. , The boys fight tonight. I don’t I think the postponement hurt eithI er one of them. I don't think any- , thing this side of a hurricane both Jers boxers. Boxers, nine hundred, ! and ninety nine times out of one ' j thousands, are too thick to be both--1 j ered. Louis, divorced from the 1 : ring, is pretty durned dull. Farr is l | pretty durned dull in the ring, out ‘! of the ring, or out on a Safari. > j So am I. I think I’ll have the boys In tomorrow to discuss tlioj ' Japanese situation. It's fraught- ' | with interest. |j (Copyright 1937 by UP.)
