PIRATES BLOW LEAD TO LOSE TO CINCINNATI Pittsburgh On Verge Os “Jitters;” Hartnett Is Injured Chicago, Aug. 16 ——<U.R)~ The Pittsburgh Pirates today appeared to be entering the secondary stages of "pennant jitters.” Noted for their collapses in the past just when it seemed they would win the National league title, the Pirates 11 aV e been losing enough games the past few days to lead to trouble, unless they shake the slump. Their National league lead was not immediately threatened and they were still four games ahead of the New York Giants but — Breezing along with a 2 0 lead in •he seventh yesterday, tile Buccaneers collapsed and blew a game to the Cincinnati Reds, 6 2. The Reds tied the score in the seventh with two runs, and won with a four-run rally in the ninth. Mace Brown, trusty Pittsburgh relief pitcher, not only failed dis-

The Reds used four pitchers with Joe Cascarella getting credit for I the victory which elevated ('lncin--11 natl to a third-place tie with Chica- |.' go.

DELAYED FIGHT I ON WEDNESDAY Ambers And Armstrong Meet Tomorrow Night In New York New York, Aug. 16.—<U.R> There [ was mystery in the air today as lightweight champion Lou Ambers and his dusky challenger, '’Hurricane’’ Henry Armstrong, rested at training camps, aching to fling leathered fists at each other tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden. The mystery concerned the battle plans of Ambers, the Herkimer. N. Y„ youngster who learned to fight in a church basement, won the title from his ring idol, Tony Canzoneri, and now must defend it against one of the most savage little men in the history of boxing. Before rain fell last Wednesday

night and drove the fight indoors.. [ Ambers was set to wage a defensive battle, hoping to tire and discourage Armstrong and perhaps win by a knockout in the later rounds. But since returing to his training camp at Summit, N. J., Ambers apparently lias abandoned those plans and hit upon a new campaign. In his last few sparring days—he finished training yester-' .lay Lou discarded his defensive tactics almost entirely and con- [ centrated on stiff punching. Boxing experts were mystified by his reversion to the slugging style that won him 13 knockouts in his first 14 amateur fights more than seven years ago. And none could provide an answer. Ambers most ardet admirers have admitted his best chance against Armstrong, who hopes to become the ring's first "triple titleholder," lies along lines of speed and evasion, keeping in motion instead of trying to get set and punch hard. The only reason for the change —if there will be one —would appear to be that Ambers and his

board of strategy have noted some defense weakness in the Los Angeles negro who knocked out 35 of his last 38 opponents en route to the feather and welter titles. Ambers, his manager and trainer refuse to talk — except to insist that Lou will go in slugging because he can punch faster than Henry and because he can cut up the challenger and win by a tech- ' nical knockout. These gentlemen were reminded today that no one ever made a I chopping block of Armstrong. They squelched the query with a unanimous: ’ But Armstrong never 1 fought Ambers before."
