GIANTS HANDED 2ND STRAIGHT LOSS BY REDS Bucky Walters Scores 1-0 Triumph Over New York Nine New York. July 15 (U.R) RIH lorry’s New York Giants today appeawd to have been caught between a cyclone and a monsoon. The cyclone already had hit the Giants and knocked them off the National league perch. The monsoon was moving in at an alarming rate from the rear. Pittsburgh was the cyclone, Cincinnati. the monsoon. Clicking off 13 straight the Pirates smashed their way to the top. And now here were the Reds demolishing everything in their path as they batter their way back into the thick of the National league race. Cincinnati's comeback marks the Reda as a doubly dangerous contender because it takes a good ball club to come out of a slump the way the Reds have. They fought their way up to second place, only a game and a half behind the Qiante and then hit the skids They tost six in a row and were I back u> fourth place. There the Reds picked themselves up again and are now off at a pace that says: "Make way! Move aside!, Here we come!” The monsoon struck the Giants again yesterday, handing them their second straight defeat in the . west. 1-0. If was the seventh straight for the Reds. Bucky Wai lers scored his seventh victory and his third in a row for the Reds yielding only five hits. The victory was doubly sweet to Manager Bill McKechnie be cause Wally Berger, the player Bill Terry didn't want, scored the

winning run. McKechnie took Berger, considered by many to lie ■washed up," and installed him regularly In left field for the Reds. Berger Is now leading the National i league in hitting with .377. He beat out an Infield hit tn Ott, went to second when Joe Moore dropped Ival Goodman's fly. and scored when Harry Humbert tossed Frank McCormick's tap into center field trying for a double play. After that Gumbert allowed only three lilts. Pittsburgh regained its winning stride by nosing out Brooklyn. 3-2. in eleven innings. It was a heartbreaking defeat for Freddy Fitzsimmons who had the Pirates beaten, 2-0, with two out in the ninth. Then lie uncorked a wild pitch ami the Waner brothers scored to tie the count. Lee Handley's triple and Lloyd Waner's Single drove in the winning rim in the 11th. Snappii g their 6 game losing streak, the Chicago Cubs triumphed over the Phillies twice, 3-0 and 5-1. Clay Bryant held the Phils to three hits in outpitching Claude Passeau in the opener. Bill Lee limited the Phils to five hits in the nightcap to triumph over Hugh Mulcahy. The Boston Bees clubbed out 16 hits to hand the St. Louis Cardinals their eighth straight defeat. 10-5. Vince DiMaggio led the Bees with three hits. Lou Fette kept the Cards 14 hits fairly well scattered to win his fifth game. The New York Yankees held their half game lead over Cleveland by nosing out the St. Louis Browns, 5-4, In a 7-inning game halted by rain. Selkirk's triple, Gordon’s walk, Newsom's wild throw, and Rolfe's single accounted for the Yanks two important runs in the sixth. Mel Harder's 8-hit pitching featured Cleveland's 5-1 victory over Washington. Harden didn't allow a runner to get past second until the ninth when Al Simmons hit a homer. Jeff Heath hit a homer with one mate on. Lefty Grove scored his 14th victory as the Boston Red Sox trimmed Detroit. 12-1. but had to leave the game in the fifth inning with his fingers numb and his arm dead. Physicians who examined his arm were mystified and would not comment except to say. “it's apparently dead and has no pulse.” Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 24. The Chicago White Sox outlasted the Philadelphia Athletics to win, 817.

July 15. — <U.R> —A savage, smashing tribe of Indianapolis Indians today set sights for the American Association pennant —as the Columbus Red Birds did so a year ago—after crushing a game but powerless all-star team, 6 to 3, before a record-breaking, screaming crwd of 12,277. The youthful Indians —their brutal attack balanced by almost perfect hurling—displayed again their new. 1938 brand of ball to the circuit which last year laughed so many times at “those awkward, tailend Indians." And it w'as a typical Indian rally which put the game on ice in the fourth after the all-stars sailed sailed across two runs in the second. Stocky Steve Mesner, trible cleanup hitter, was the first to face Kemp Wicker, Kansas City southpaw who replaced Milwaukee’s star, Whitlow Wyatt. The little third baseman set his spikes and blasted a ringing double along the right field foul line. Baker walked and Chapman, poling a bad one, died to short center. Latshaw struck out. The rally apparently was ended but McCormick, waiting out the string, drew a pass, filling the bags. Manager Ray Schalk decided to let lanky John Niggeling bat for himself. The Indianapolis pitcher poked a grounder into right field, scoring Mesner and Baker. Wicker, after walking Pofahl and tossing a ball to Sherlock, was replaced by Parmelee of Minneapolis, former Giant, Cub and Cardinal player oi the majors. I Sherlock drew four balls, forcing

JAPS ABANDON OLYMPIC GAMES Cabinet Decides Against (James Because Os War Conditions ' • Tokyo. July 15—(UP)—Japan of- ’ ficially gave up the 1940 interna- ’ tional Olympic games today. The . Cabinet decided that the war in , China had cost too much in men i and money to permit expenditures I lor Athletic events. I Officials of the Japanese Olympics , committee reluctantly drafted a forI mal notice of cancellation which i will be delivered to the internation- , al Olympics congress. It had been i impressed upon them that prosecui tion of the war against China was ' of vital necessity and that it might ; endure two years longer when Western Athletes would be invading the far east if the games were here. There also was a hit that conservative Japanese had felt that Japan was not ready to play host 1 to the westerners, who might contaminate Japanese customs. It was was a question of “leave Japan to I her own ends,” with this element. ' But the Olympics will be held in 11910 just the same. Olympic officials in all parts of the world expressed a determination to hold them despite wars in China and Spain and trouble in Europe. Jt was quite likely that Finland, a sponsor of many international | Athletic events in the last 20 years, i would get them. Finland made a strong bid for the games after IBgrUn played host in 19'36, but the Japanese—backed by Germany and I Italy, her allies in anti communism i —won out. ' The United States made an un- ‘ official bid for the 194-9 games I through Grover Whalen of the New I York world fair, but it seemed almost certain that it would be unsuccessful. London also made a bid, ' but her invitation appeared weak in the face of Finland’s I The international Olympics congress will decide what country replaces Japan as the 1940 host. An ■ emergency meeting of the congress probably will be called soon so that ■ the new host will have as much time as possible to prepare. o HOME RUNS I ' Greenberg.
