ONE-HIT GAMES MARK MONDAY'S BASEBALL TILTS Grissom And I’hebus Hurl One-Hitters; Grissom Loses New York. Sept. 7—<U.R)- Base- , hall's spotlight shined brightest today on pitchers Lefty Lee Grissom. Cincinnati southpaw, and 1 Raymond Phebus, Washington’s rookie right hander. On a day in which the pitchers had perhaps their greatest success this season. Grissom and Phebus just missed baseball’s hall of fame. Each pitched a one-hit game. Grissom lost his by a queer quirk; PhelMui won his. a 2-0 shutout. ; Out of the 16 games yesterday, i there were nine of five hits or < less. Seven out of the 16 were de-' cided by one run. Twenty-two

pitchers went the route. Only the ■ Detroit Tigers did any real slug | ging, collecting 17 hits in one game and 15 in another. Grissom came nearest to a per-1 I feet game, and yet he lust, 2-1, to ' , the Chicago Cuba. He held the I ' Cubs hitless until the eighth. Then I Phil Cavarretta's pop fly fell safe ' for a double. Jurges was safe on . an error and Curt Davis bunted and was safe on a fielder's choice, I filling the bases. Nettled by the turn of events Grissom threw a with pitch and Cavarretta scorted the tying run. Jurges tallied the . I winning run on Galan's fly. Phebus. up from the southern I association, allowed the Red Sox I only one hit. a double by Catcher ' Gene Desautels, but walked seven men. He pitched superbly in the pinches and had two double plays to aid him in scoring a 2-0 shutout. Other pitching perform-, ances were contributed by Ivy Paul Andrews. Cleveland castoff; I now with the Yankees, who held ' the Athletics to three hits; Bob Feller. Indians' miracle boy who turned the White Sox back with , | four hits; Ted Lyons.

Giants' veteran who ' let the Phils down with five hits; and Cy Blanton and Jim Tobin, i who combined to lose a five-hitter ' to the Cardinals. In the pennant race events coni tinned to point more strongly to ! another "subway series.” The Giants won a double-header from the Phillies. 6-2 and 9-3, and gained another game on the Cubs who split a double-header with the Reds. Errors helped Cincinnati win the first game, 7-3. Curt Dav-1 is bested Grissom in the second ! game, 2-1. The Giants' lead is now I three games. I The Yankees knocked off the ! • Athletics twice. 6-3 and 2-1, holding , ; their 11 games. Joe Di Maggio hit I I homer No. 40. j Detroit walloped the St. Louis! Browns twice, 10-9 and 5-2, to hold the runner-up position. Pete Fox's double won the opener, and his - homer and single helped win the nightcap. All the other double-headers reI suited in even breaks. After Lyons j had pitched the White Sox to a i 2-1 victory in the opener with ' Cleveland. Feller pitched the In-1 ) dians to a 2-1 triumph. Lefty ' Grove outpitched Wes Ferrell to i give the Red Sox a 6-2 victory ' I over Washington, and then Phebus | came through with his one-hitter to tame the Red Sox. 2-0. Outfield-! er Johnny Stone. Washington, hurt his shoulder in diving tor a fly > and may be out the rest of the year. Arky Vaughan's homer in the I ninth gave Pittsburgh a 5-4 vic-! tory over the Cardinals in the > nightcap after St. Louis had won the opener, 4-1, on five hits.

ALL-STARS BEAT CHICAGO BEARS Professional Football Team Is Defeated Monday, 6 To 0 j Dallas. Tex., Sept. 7.—<U.R)~ Play I ing in a driving rain, football stars ' from last year's college teams deI seated the professional Chicago j Bears, 6 to 0, in an exhibition game iat the Cotton bowl last night bei fore a crowd of 15,000. Art Guepe of Marquette univeri sity skirted left end and ran 25 yards for the only touchdown, in the second period. Several times more, the all-stars ; threatened to score, and they were i worse beset by the mud because it made the ball too slippery for ! Sammy Baugh to pass. They had I counted strongly on the Texas Christian university ace, whose pass won the all-star game against I the Green Bay Packers at Chicago last week. Late in the second period, 18 policemen ran onto the field to break up a fight between Bob McGee. 210-pound all-star tackle from Santa Clara university, and George Musso. 270-pound Bear, who went to Millikin college. Both were I chased from the game. At the end of the first period, Baugh kicked out of bounds on the Bears' three-yard mark, and early in the second. Guepe charged to the Bears' four-yard line before the \ ball was lost on dow-ns. A few minutes later. Funk, tackle from the University of California at Los Angeles, downed the ball on the Bears' 25-yard line and Guepe went over for the touchdown. The Bears reached the amateurs j 10-yard line in the third period but lost the ball on a fumble, which was retrieved by George Stovall of North Texas college for the allstars. In the final quarter. Guepe took a pass from Baugh and ran to the Bears’ seven-yard line before he i was downed. The Bears took the ball on down there, but by the end . of the game the all-stars had driven back to the Bears' 10-yard line again. o • — ♦ | Today’s Sport Parade | (By Hsnry McLemore) I Elizabethtown. N. Y., Sept. 7. — (U.R> — John Montague will be arranged here today on a charge of first degree robbery, and last night, with a story to write, 1 wanted to findout how this little town felt about it. I asked a few citizens the best way to go about feeling the pulse of Elizabethtown, and they all told 'me the same thing: "Drop by the tavern and hang around there aw-hile. At one time or another everybody will be there, and they'll be talking about him. ! don’t you worry." So I went to the tavern, with its substantial mahogany bar, giggly barmaids, electric phonograph, and straight-backed booths, and hung around. Hung around a long time, just listening—listening to college kids, semi-pro baseball players, still in dusty suits and wearing spikes. ■ farmers, dressed up members of the rich summer colony, laborers, and those indistinguishable men and women you find in bars everywhere.

And they talked of Montague. No one ever spoke of him as Moore, or Laverne, or Laverne Moore. It was always “Monty," or “Moni tague,” or “Johnny.” After listen- ; ing to them for so long I couldn't help but feel that it wasn't Lai| verne Moore who was going to be : tried for that stick-up in 1930, but John Montague. And this gave me a funny feeling, because, I said to myself, there isn't any John Montague. That’s just a name — the name of a legendary fellow who shot birdies with hoe handles and baseball bats; who lifted sedans over his head, and who knocked oft a quart of whisky a night without batting an eye. And then I’d listen some more to

I the folk about me and that would only confuse me the more. Because John Montague is a very real person here. Girls spoke of his good looks, his tremendous build. Boys said “hell, that Montague can’t pick up a car. I'm pretty strong and I can’t hist the back wheel of a Ford." Others, probably golfers, speculated on how John Montague ever got out of a san dtrap with a hoe; how he ever putted with a baseball bat, and how he ever knocked A ball I down the fairway with a rake. Not a person came in the tavern i but expressed the desire to take a look at him. And they all hoped that Bing Crosby would be at the arraignment, and someone said they hoped to hell Bing would sing, ] a song or two. Crosby's record on; the phonograph—it looks like rain in cherry blossom lane —got a ter-1 rifle play. Fast as one nickel lost' its potency, another was shoved in; the slot. There was much speculation as to the outcome of Montague s trial. I jotted down a few opinions on a “wine list.” and give them to you as representing, fairly accurately. Elizabethtown's feeling toward the neighbor boy. “I'll lay 3 to 1 he doesn't beat the rap. That Norton fellow the district attorney brought in from ! Cleveland is a clincher on the case.” i “He's a cinch to get out of it. It I all happened seven years ago and who around here cares Besides. • he knows a lot of important people, and that helps in a little town." j “He made a monkey out of him ! self when, after they let him out] I on bail, he went to a cocktail party with those actors, instead of going j to see his mother like he said he ! was.” “The other guys in the job paid,: so why shouldn't he? Knowingi those fancy people don't mean anything.” “He never should have come back.” “It'll be a sin if he is sent to jail. He's thrown off all that crime, and made a man of himself.” “I hope they let him loose. He was just a boy then." (Copyright 1937 by UP.) o HOME RUNS Di Maggio.
