Hartnett succeeded Charlie Crim j as manager of the Cubs Wednes- I day night. The next day they ' split a doubleheader with Brooklyn. i and then the champion Giants came to town. Under Hartnett’s lashing leadership the Cubs lacerated the Giants three times in a row. and moved within a game and a' half of second place. The--way the Cubs triumphed over the Giants Sunday before 35,078 at Wrigley Field indicated that P. K. Wrigley’s sudden shift in pilots to give the Bruins a "shot in the arm" had the desired result. The Cubs battled through 15 innings to conquer the Giants, 5-4. and beat Carl Hubbell, who had come into the game as a relief pitcher in the seventh. Trailing by one run with two out in the ninth the Cubs tied the score when Stan Hack crossed the plate on a single by Carl Reyno’ds. Reynolds again saved the game in the fourteenth when he raced hack against the center field wall and pulled down a long smash by Hank Leiber. The winning run was scored on Billy Jttrges' single and Hack’s double Bill Lee. who beat the Giants on Saturday, scored his thirteenth victory in a relief role. | holding New York to four hits in the last seven innings. The defeat dropped the Giants to four games behind the pace-setting Pirates, and ended a most disastrous western trip during which they won 4 games and lost 9. Pittsburgh kept up its swift pace by defeating the Boston Bees twice,

He was Frederick John Alastair Cameron, of London, of Eton, of Oxford. And—best of all—he was a man who had played “silly mid on" for Notts against the Australians. That needs a bit of explaining, what: quite right, cheerio, and pip , pip! “Silly mid on” is a position in cricket. A “mid on” stands some twenty yards back of the batsmen, barehanded, to catch foul tips. The position is so called because only a “silly” fellow would stand so close. “Bloody well get your head knocked off unless you’re awfully o.uick on your feet,” Frederick John Alastair Cameron explained. Further explanation: “Notts” is the abbreviation for Nottinghamshire, a county. To play cricket ’ for a county—to play for Notts or I Bucks or Hants or any of the oth- ! er dozen or so counties —is to be a I damned fine cricket player. And 1 to play against the Australians — I well, that means you are an InterI nationalist, which means you are i tops. I took Frederick John Alastair Cameron to the ball game because j he wanted to see a baseball game;

a desire that was born years ago| when Babe Ruth was in England ; on a visit and batted against the best cricket bowlers. "I pitched to the Babe fellow.” Frederick John Alastair Cameron said, “and he smote the dickens J out of the ball. Broke his bat, in fact, he hit it so hard. Stout beer drinker, too, that Ruth." The Yankees and Chicago White , Sox were playing when we enter-j ed the stadium. “Oh, rounders, eh," he said.! "Same thing we played at Eton.” j A Chicago outfielder muffed a Texas leaguer. “Poor catch." he said, “let me miss that one at cricket and I < would be barracked for a month." i, I felt pretty bad because I had told Frederick John Alastair Cameron that the one thing he would I like about our baseball would be . ] the fielding. A few moments later Thornton , Lee. Sox pitcher, threw wild to , third. "Bloody clumsy, that fellow. • eh!" Cameron said. “I thought ' I you said the Americans threw the 1 ball so well.” The one thing that Interested I my guest was the “bowler" or < pitcher. He wouldn't believe that 1 a pitcher could throw anything • but a hard.s traight ball. I swore to him, almost on bended knee. I that a pitcher could make the ball i jump to the right, to the left, up. ' down, and. in general, behave in I a crazy manner. "You mean to tell me," he said, i “that your bowlers can throw a googly without hitting the ground

July 25. —(U.RIF - More than 1.000 enraged race tans swarmed over the Columbus auto track yesterday, halting the final race in protest of the disqualification of Les Adair, Indianapolis pilot who was charged with violating track rules in previous events. Several fist fights broke out and Webster Spicer, former Columbus high school wrestler, was dragged from a racer and beaten. Adair mixed a few blows with W. R. Caine of Indianapolis before they were separated. The demonstrawith the ball? Absurd. Ridiculous. I don't believe you.” When the crowd stood up for ' the seventh inning stretch. Cameron wanted his tea. Wanted it badly. He plainly was annoyed when we had to compromise with beer. That's all there Is to this story. ' It doesn't make much sense, does it? If it doesn't it is a well writ- ' ten story, because my trip to a baseball game with an Englishman didn't make much sense, either. Cheerio! (Copyright 1938 by UP.)

Ition lasted until darkness. Adair, a favorite with the crowd. | was ruled out of the last race by ' officials of the Central States Racing Association after the other drivers refused to enter the 30-lap !
