GIANTS ADD TO | LEAGUE MARGIN 1 AS CUBS LOSE Down Cardinals In 10th At'Cubs Lose In 11th Inning s3E, i New York, Sept. 3. — (U.R) —The Giants are winning the close ones and th? Cubs are blowing them—and that may be the answer to the National league pennant race. The heat was on the Giants yesterday and they caine through with a 5-4 victory over the Cardinals in , 10 innings to increase their lead to ouo full game. But when the Dodgers put the pressure on the Cubs, the men of Charlie Grimm blew another game. 43, in 11 innings. After a disastrous trip through | the east, the Cubs were on their way home today to play 22 of their remaining 32 games. Unless the Cubs do an about face at Wrigley ' Field they are in serious danger of fading out of the pennant battle. The Cubs’ eastern record was three victories and six defeats. They tossed away three games with misplays. An error by Phil Cavaretta started the Cubs' downfall yesterday. He made a wild throw to Bill Lee. covering first, in the eighth inning. Bucher doubled and Hassett singled, tying the score. Then Max ’ Butcher's single drove in the winning run in the eleventh. It was the fifth time Bill Lee had tried to win game No. 13 and failed. Long John McCarthy, labeled the biggest bust of the year, came through in the Giants' victory over the Cardinals with two homers which kept the Giants in the Hall game until the tenth. His first . came in the sixth with a man on. i and his second in the eighth to tie I the score, 3-3. With the Cards i Hading, 4-3, in the tenth, Mel Ott j hit No. 30 to tie the score. Then Leiber, Banning and Whitehead singled in succession to drive in the winning run oft Bob Weiland. Pittsburgh drove a seven-game losing streak by scoring five runs in the ninth to beat the Phillies. 11-8. Woody Jensen led the 15-hit attack, getting “5 for 5. " Paul Waner and Floyd Young hit Pitts-, burgh homers. Young Bob Feller handcuffed the | Yankees and pitched Cleveland to i a 4-2 victory. Feller fanned 12. men and permitted only five hits. , Feller blanked the Yanks with two ' hits until the eighth when Joe Di

TENNIS STARS ” IN TOURNAMENT National Singles Tourney Opens At Forest Hills Forest Hills, N. Y Sept. 3.— I (U.R) More tennis lambs were led to slaughter today in the national championships with favorites In the men and women divisions sac- : Ing set ups. Today’s matches were exhibi tions for most of the stars, featured the beginning of Don Budge s drive for the men’s title. The gangling, Oakland, Cal., red head. all-England titleholder and hero of I Uncle Sam s Davis cup victory, faced William V. Winslow of South Orange, N. J., in a second round match. Budge drew a first round I bye. Budge’s great rival of the 193. season. Baron Gottfried Von I Cramm. also made his tournament : debut against Alfred Jarvis of Ten afly, N. J. Von Cramm also drew a first round bye. Thirty-two men's second round matches and 16 first round battles among the women were scheduled I for today. Yesterday, 16 women in the lower bracket gained the ■ ’ second round while 36 men who t failed to draw byes fought their ) way into the second round. t The seeded list in the women's ( division remained unbroken as play began today while only one name was missing from the men's select group. He was Ross M ilson of Canada, tenth on the foreign list, who was eliminated 4-6, 6-3, J 64, 6-3 by Marritnon Cuninggim of ( Nashville, Tenn. 1 When the shadows fall over the ( stadium tonight, both fields will ] be down to 32 and tomorrow the i heavy firing will begin. Alice Marble of San Francisco., the defending champion, led the j parade yesterday with a 6-3, 7-5 i victory over Jacqueline Horner ot ( France. Other ''names’’ who ad < valued with her were Dorothy ’ Bundy. Santa Monica. Cal., Freda < James. England, and Anita Lizana. Chile. They all were idle today. A, ♦ ; Today’s Sport Parade I i (By* Henry McLemore) ' : * —— ♦ 1 < New York. Sept. 3.— (U.R) —This . . 1 column can be read in ten minutes. ] It was written in five. In fact, it ; isn't compulsory to read it at all. i Turn to the next page and “earn how to bake a chocolate layer i cake. 1. Bill Terry. Here is one of fate’s footballs I feel genuinely ’ ' sorry for. He is a peerless man- ■ ager, and all he gets is abuse —ex- 1 cept from the Giant paymaster, ' who will dole “Kim $40,000 per year 1 until 1943. Not since Jack Shark- '• ey was sneering at the populace, ' has anybody made unpopularity 1 pay so well. Bill has now got himself up to $5 a frown and $lO per I tactless remark. He counts the house before the hits, if nine more people get mad at him. he'll have more to leave for art than Andrew ( Mellon. , 2. Maxie Baer. Mama, that man is here again. The Pacific ' , popoff, who quit (?) fighting to, i lead an off-key jazz band two years ( ago. is again being mentioned as I a challenger for the world heavyweight title. If you ask me. I think Louis should sue for libel. 3. Female tennis players. The I crop is getting prettier, but they | are frightful bores when the bell I rings. Crime would be greatly reduced in this country if the penalty were three hours of compulsory observation of womens' mixed doubles. You could put all your yeggs in one basket it a judge made them serve their time in Forest Hills grandstand. 4. Joe Jacobs. Fistiania's wand- , ering Joe. His fighter, Maxie I Schmeling. is getting such a long distance run-around that he has split up the distance and has given Joe the first 100 yards. Max barely speaks to the man who once made him champ, gives him no money—not even for the black cigars that are like an oxygen tank to him—and generally treats him I shamefully. 5. Bob Pastor. Rumor has it that Jimmy Johnston's stream-lin-ed speedster in the heavyweight mess will take a job on one of the , , bicycle excursion trains which have become a fad in these parts. He will demonstrate back-pedaling, i riding no hands and other feats of agility and skill. Bob believes this will help him if he has to race—pardon, fight—Louis again. 6. Burleigh Grimes. He proved his worth as a big league manager in only one season when he l took an eighth-place club, the Dodgers, and kept them there. This' shows grim, dogged determination, for Burleigh wouldn’t yield an inch to the Phillies or the Reds. The | dugout Dempsey, who talks almost as good a ball game as he loses. j has the Brooklyn directors in a dither. They can’t decide wheth-i er to keep Grimes and throw away 1 the club, or keep the club and ■ throw away Grimes. It never occurred to them, possibly, to do both. 7. Dizzy Dean. Finally the St. Louis seidiitz powder has an arm
