Chicago, July 27 — (U.R) — The . humiliation of hatting in eighth , ! place finally made Jimmy the Ripper Collins see red. He went berserk in Brooklyn yesterday and today the Chicago Cubs » were only half a game out of see- - ond place in the National league “ j pennant race and skyrocketing to I catch the Giants, just above them, 1 j and the Pirates, four games above. 1 ! Only major league first baseman 1 to hat in the undistinguished spot ■ just ahead of the pitcher. Collins, once one of the National league's ■ most feared clutch hitters, slashed ■ out four singles yesterday as the Cubs opened their eastern invasion with a 10-8 triumph over Brooklyn. - He drove in three runs, scored two and got the vital hit in the ninth with the score tied. With the game knotted 8-8 and two out Gabby Hartnett, the happy | warrior, worked Tot Pressness for j a walk. Collins followed with his I fourth single, sending Hartnett to j third. Lend your ears, chums, j Hartnett went from first to third on a single—not once but twice in the game. That probably set an all time record for Hartnett base running. From third Hartnett tallied the winning run on a wild pitch. Then Larry French doubled i and drove in Collins with an extra run. Pittsburgh blew a 5-run lead and : lost to the Phillies, 6-5, in the ninth Relief Pitcher Mace Brown ! walked in the Phils’ winning run. An error by Arky Vaughan started the Phils’ ninth inning rally and < Cap Clark's single tied the score. The Giants lost their fourth straight when they bowed to the 1 Cardinals, 6-5. Bob Seeds flied out to end the game with two mates on base. Clyde Shoun scored his ] second straight victory over the , ] Giants although he had to be rescued. Joe Medwick and Johnny - Mize hit homers. ] Cincinnati moved up on the two ; leaders by beating the Boston Bees. , 6-2, behind Paul Derringer’s 5 hit pitching. Derringer hit his first j homer of the season, and Wally Berger also clouted one. Derringer retired 21 men before he allowed a hit in the eighth. The New York Yankees increased their American league lead to , a game and a half when they took a doubleheader from, the St. Louis Browns, 10-5 and 12-5, the second game being called in the eighth because of darkness. Monte Pearson and Spud Chandler were the i winning pitchers. Myril Hoag led the Yanks’ 19-hit attack in the opener with five hits and Joe DiMaggio. who hit a homer in the opener, clouted three doubles to top the 13-hit barrage in the nightcap. Bob Feller canto out of his slump by pitching Cleveland to a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Ath- | letlcs. With his dad looking on j Feller fanned ten and permitted | only seven hits. Earl Averill hit a j homer. Hank Greenberg's 30th and 31st homers featured Detroit's 6 to 5 triumph over Washington. Greenberg is now only two homers behind Babe Ruth's 1927 pace when he set the major league record of j 60. Ted Lyons pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 9-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Rip Radcltff and Luke Appling made three hits each in a 14-hit assault on Ostcrmueller and Rogers. Yesterday's hero — Rip Collins, Cults' first baseman who slammed out four hits to lead Chicago to victory over Brooklyn. o- •» LEADING BATTERS I Player Club GAB R H Pet.

ALL-STAR GRID TEAM NAMED BY NATION'S FANS !| — All-Star Team Selected To Play Pro Champs August 3! ': Chicago, July 27, (UP.)! The payling public—B,ooo,ooo strong—pick'led its 1937 all-America football l team today for a night game In I Soldier Field Aug. 31 against the {world professional champions. ! Washington's reckless Redskins. The fans' squad Is one with i speed, power, brains and a forward passer considered the next ! thing to Sammy Baugh, who graduated from Texas Christian and the i last all-star game Into the passing sparkplug of the world champions. In his three years at Purdue, 1 Cecil Isbell, another Texan, had a passing record almost as brilliant ias Sammy's. It won him all-big j ten honors. all-America mention ] and a first string berth at halfback 011 this summer's all-star squad. The starting 11. who received the highest number of votes for their respective positions in a two weeks' poll conducted by the ( hieag Tribune and 150 associated newspapers: |,’ m ] a _Charles t Chuck I Sweeney, Notre Dame and Perry Schwartz, California. Tackles—Vic Markov, Washington and Marty Schreyer, Purdue. Guards—Joe Rout, Texas Aggies and Leroy Mousky, Alabama. Center— Ralph Wolf. Ohio State. I Quarterback — An d y Puplis. i Notre Dame. Halfbacks—Cecil Isbell, Purdue and Andy Uram, Minnesota. Fullback—Frank Patrick. Pittsburgh. Two voting records were broken in this fifth nationwide poll. It was the highest total vote ever recorded—B,s26.32B—and Sweeney. Notre Dame's alert right end. reached a new high of 1.538.642 for a single player. Schwartz. | Markov, Schreyer and Patrick all | polled more than a million. A eompletesquad of 68 players. I t obe coached by a staff now' being selected in a similar poll, will meet for the first time at North- ; western for 19 days of practice starting Aug. 12. This is the longest training period any all-star squad ever had. Regardless of what coaches are selected, the collegians likely will rely on passes. They won their . first victory on Baugh s pass to Gay , Tinsley of Louisiana State last . year and probably will have to , score more than once to defeat the Redskins with Baugh now on their , side. . 1 o j, ♦ ♦!'

Y„ July 27. —fli.R) — Life really began for Bar- j. ney Ross that night Htnry Arm- j strong nearly beat it one of him. 1 , He told me so yesterday when j ■ we had lunch here at this summer ! resort where he trained for almost | all his fights. .He’s back here now : to relax and play. There are no managers to supervise his every move, now. No training table, no | sparring partners, no roadwork. For the first time in 10 years he’s just himself. Not a champion fighter any more, just a man who | is enjoying the things he had to • deny himself for 10 long years. Talking to Barney was like talk- ! ing to a kid on the first day of his j vacation from school. He felt so good and was so happy that it showed in his eyes, in his w’alk, in his talk. His 10 years in the ring left little mark. Not even that gosh-awful beating he took from Armstrong left marks. He doesn't mind talking about that fight, even though it took away his title and marked the end of his fighting days. "He's a swell fighter, that Armstrong,'' Barney said. “And a rlean and gracious one, too. 1 knew 1 was finished after the second round, that I didn't have a chance. I couldn't figure out why. I felt good all over, but there just wasn't any zing in my arms or legs. When I went out for the
