CHICAGO CUBS REGAINFIRST PLACE IN LOOP Defeat Brooklyn As Giants Are Defeated By Cardinals New York. Sept. I—KU.PJ —The ding-dong National league pennant race found the Chicago Cubs back in command today. One day in front threw the Giant machine out of gear, and the Ter rynien fell back to second place, a game behind the Cubs. It was the second time this season the Giants had battled their way to the top, only to lose the lead after 24 hours tn the driver's seat. Tex Carleton, the slim sidewheeler. hoisted the Cubs back on top by pitching a 4-2 victory over Brooklyn while the third-place Cardinals were plastering the

Giants, 8-1. Carleton scattered eight hits among the Dodgers for his 12th victory against five defeats. The Cubs collected nine blows off Fred Frankhouse. who was milking his first start since his seven-inning no-hit, no-run game against Cincinnati. With the score tied 2-2, the Cubs pushed over the two winning tallies in the eighth. Augfe Galan doubled, and Billy Herman was safe on Buddy Hassett's fumble. Galan scored on Demaree's fly Herman reached third on Jurges' single and tallied when Brown fumbled Cacarretta's roller. The Cardinals smacked Slick Castleman, who was wearing a special brace for his ailing back. Don Brennan and Tom Baker of the Giants for 16 hits, including homers by Padgett. Medwick and Weiland. Medwick's was No. 28 and tied Mel Ott for the league lead. The only run made off Bob Weiland, who held the Giants to nine hits, was a homer by Wally Berger. Bucky Walters held the Pirates to five hits as the Phillies blanked Pittsburgh. 3-0. Morris Arnovich's homer with two on off Ed Brandt accounted for all the Philly rims. Danny Macfayden, making his first start since he fractured a toe last week, pitched the Boston Bees to a 7-2 victory over Cincinnati, allowing only three hits. Vince Dimaggio hit a homer. Rudy York's slugging featured the American league's action. The husky Detroiter, recently converted into a catcher, smashed out four hits for a perfect day at bat. and drove out two homers. Nos. 29 and 30. His two circuit clouts gave him 18 for the month of August, breaking by one Babe Ruth's 10-year-old record of 17 made in September, 1927. York's other two hits were singles. Ho drove in seven runs altogether in the Tiger's 12-2 victory over Washington. Charlie Gehringer, American league batting leader, also had a perfect day at bat, "3 for 3.” Roxie Lawson was tight in the pinches and win his 17th victory, although he was tapped for 11 hits. Lou Gehrig’s 31st homer with the bases loaded featured the Yankees’ 7-3 victory over Cleveland. i Mel Harder had blanked the I Yanks until Gehrig’s big punch. 1 Bump Hadley settled down after a shaky start and won his fourth game in a row and his ninth this season. The Chicago White Sox saved third place by nosing out the BosI ton Red Sox in the ninth. 7-6. Manager Jimmy Dykes' single in the ninth drove in the tying run and Luke Sewell's single enabled Dykes to score the winning tally. Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 33 with a mate aboard in the Red Sox ninth. The St. Louis Browns and Philadelphia Athletics divided a doubleheader. Sam West's double and Joe Vosmik's single drove in the winning run in the Browns' 2-1 victory in the opener, in which Elon Hogsett outdueled Thomas and Fink. Edgar Smith won his third game of the season as the A's took the nightcap. 7-3. The ■ only St. Louis runs resulted from I homers, one by Hemsley with a man on and one by Clift.

Sept. 1. — (U.R) — For j the life of me I can't understand the amazement, surprise, and indignation that is now rampant over the refusal of heavyweight champion Joe Louis to give Herr Max Schmeling of Germany a crack at the title. I think it would be a damn fine thing if he did, being as the German is the only man with any right whatsoever to challenge for the royal purple of the imperial camel’s hair or whatever it is that heavyweight champions wear. But what sane man ever expected Louis to sign with Schmeling until he positively was forced to do so, by the refusal of the paying customers to watch him with anyone else? On yesterday, when promoter Mike Jacobs handed Schmeling another six months free ride on the

merry-go-round with the announcement that the champion’s next opponent would be determined by a heavyweight tournament, indignation was rife on queer street, that being another name for cauliflower alley. Temperatures were run, and such words as sportsmanship, fair play, and ethics were tossed around with abandon. Now, when in the name of high heaven, did any right thinking citizen begin associating such words with boxing? Boxing may not be the most underhanded of sports, but it’ll run one-two-three with any you can name. Since Jim Figg's day to this boxing has been a business of hustlers, for hustlers, and by hustlers. Men have gone into it for their health, but they never lasted long or got very far. Boxing s coat of arms is the interlocked double cross, rampant on a field of broken promises. It is a business of haggle and wrangle, wiggle in and wiggle out, Louis is not the first Champion io duck, sidestep and dodge an out and out issue. He's just another in a long line, so I can't see the surprise. Boxing being what it is, the managers of the Detroit boy are being smart. They’ve got a million dollar meal ticket, and can t see the sense in subjecting him to a fight with a man who, in the opinion of nearly all the critics, can lick him five days a week and twice on Sun-1 day. Does the background of eith-! er Julian Black or John Rox-| borough indicate that they are the type to sacrifice a fortune on the altar of sportsmanship? Would Joe Gould have done it? Billy Gibson? Doc Kearns? Joe, Jacobs? You can bet your sweet and merry they wouldn't. And before you waste too much . sympathy on Schmeling don't forget that his treatment of Joei Jacobs, the man who lifted him from nowhere to riches and fame, has not been all sweetness and , light. To cine right out and eay so, Schmeling has all but given Jacobs a kick in the pants now ’ that he isn't neded any more. (Copyright 1937 by UP.)

ALL-STARS TO MEET PACKERS THIS EVENING College All-Stars Meet Professional Champions Tonight Chicago. Sept. I.— (U.R) — The deadliest aerial bombardment of the annual ail-star football series is expected tonight when the hustling young collegians elected by the nation’s fans dig in against the world champion Green Bay Packers under Soldier Field floodlights. The light, fast all-stars have the forward passing terrors of three separate leagues in slingin’ Sammy Baugh of Texas Christian, Ray Buivid of Marquette and Indiana's Vernon Hauffman, voted the big ten's most valuable player last season. Against these three marksmen, the heavier Packers will stake their famed Arnold Herber and Don Hutson, a wtll-o'-the wisp combination which baffled every pass defense in the National league last year. Attendance records for the spectacle likely will be broken. The crowd may run as high as 85,0'10. The Packers had to be given whatever edge there was. They are experienced as a team. They know the all-stars cannot be regarded lightly since twice they have held pro teams to ties. They lost once to the Chicago Bears, 5 to 9. They have trained better than any other league representative and in addition had a weight advantage. Favoring the all-stars were their superior speed and youth. They appeared to be farther advanced than any of their predecessors. With Baugh flicking his accurate passes and blockers like big Sam Francis of Nebraska running interference for open field stars like Bobby lairue of Pittsburgh, this team has more potential scoring power than the others. The all-stars probably will center their attack on Baugh. The lithe quarterback from Sweetwater. Texas, immediately caught the eyes of head coach Charles (Gus) Dorais of Detroit and his assistants, Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern.
