CARDS TROUNCE CINCY REDS IN J DOUBLE HEADER I Home Runs Prove Costly To Leaders Os Nat* ional League New York. Aug. 14- <U.R> Don't ' apeak of home runa In the presI ence of Deacon Bill McKechnle ' I today unless you are prepared to suffer the coll«e<|liencea McKechnle shuddered at the thought of what the "home run hall" did to hla Cincinnati Reds yesterday 11 was downright tragic to the Reds' pennant cause Sailing along so smoothly with »n *4 game lead on Sunday morning. the Reds moved out of St. Louis last night with their pennant drive slowed down to a walk —and all because the Reda* pitch-1 era pet s toted In tossing "home run Dalls" to the Cardinals. By I < knocking the Reds off twice th{Cards trimmed Cincinnati’s lead to 64 games, and made It 12 Victories hi their last 13 games The] Cards are now in a spot to make' a real pennant bld Country Slaughter slammed a homer off Lee Grissom whh a mate <hi base In th- opener and. that waa the pay ball II Wiped] out a 2 1 Cincinnati lead and enabled Curt Davis to carry on to I his 16th victory. 4-2. before an i overflow throng of 4<>.<MMt But the home run fireworks didn’t really break out until the! nightcap. Whitey .Moore waa ‘ breextng along liehlnd a 34 lead In the seventh when Slaughter hit, another one and Don Padgett hit ] one with two on to tie the score ] Then Morton Cooper. Cards' rookie pitcher, hit a round tripper In the eighth to win his own game. 4-3. Dlxxy Dean, making hla first start since Aug 1. pitched the, Cuba to a 5-4 victory over the PtrutM. He allowed 10 hits but steadied after a weak start in which Paul Waner tripled and Chuck Klein hit a homer. The Giants slapped down the Phillies twice. 11-2 and 6-2 The Terrymen hit seven hom<-ra In the opener, with Frank Demaree gett-i Inga pair. The Bees snapped a five-game | losing streak by belting the Dodx era twice. 13-4 and 8-2 Boston laid down a 17-hlt barrage In the! opener while Joe Sullivan's six 1 hit pitching featured the nightcap Two three-hlt games featured! action in the American league, with Red Ruffing of the Yanks , and Bob Feller of the Indiana con llnulug their neck and neck race , for pitching laurels IMch hung j up No 17 In stopping the opposl- . tlon with three hits. Ruffing* victory waa most Im . portant aa he enabled the Yanks 1 to get back their six game American league lead which they lost for a couple of hours. After losing the first game. 12-9, to the , Athletics, the world champs ran j amuck in th.- nightcap to tie the ; modern record fur a lopsided shut- J out with a 21-0 triumph. The Red Sox trlmm-d the Yanks* . lead to five games by extending . their winning streak to seven s straight when they beat Washing- S ton. 9-1, in the opening end of s’ twlnb 111 But they dropped the nightcap. 6-3 and wound up the da; still six guinea astern of the I Yanka.

BOBBY RIGGS WINS TOURNEY Defrats Frankie Parker But Neither Shows Good Form Rye. N. Y-. Aug 14 4UJO Am>ricas prospects of retaining the Davis cup next month were uncertain today, following the eastern grass court championships where Bobby Riggs and Frankie Parker made a lack-lustre showing In the singles flnal. Riggs won the title Sundsy for the third time and retired the ailI ver trophy by beating Parker 1-8. 6-4. 6-4. 7-5. but most tennis obaerJ vers agreed that neither Bobby of the Charley Chaplin walk nor Frankie of the froxen face was j playing up to Davis cup standards. They were expected to be the No. 1 and 2 singles performers In the cup defense. No one else In the tourney showed enough brilliance to threaten their jolts. The Wightman cup situation was more cheering, however. The American women showed well here at the Westchester country club, j Alice Marble, the stream-lined Wimbledon and national champion, was in peak form yesterday as she won the singles title for the second straight year, beating her roubles mate. Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline. Mass. with east In I .two seta, 8-4. 6-4. Mrs. Fabyan had beaten the ace of the British ! i Wightman cup team.

Dorothy Bundy and Mary Arnold, who never played together before this tourney, lost to Miss Marble and Mrs. Fabyan. but they gave the Wimbledon and national

champions a grand battle, virtually clinching the No. 2 berth. Gene Mako of Loe Angeles, who formerly paired with Dtm Budge In Davis cup doubles, brought a bit of encouragement to the cup situation yesterday when he and Gardnar Mulloy of Miami. Florida, upset the Wimbledon champions. Riggs snd Elwood Cooke of Portland. Ore.. Mako. who has been performing with uncertainty thia season, appeared to have regained peak form as he and Mulloy won 7-5. 6-8. 6-3. 6-1. There was a possibility that he would be teamed with Riggs or Parker for Davis cup play. o BOSSE FUNERAL tCONTINI'ED from FAQS ONKt W. Tyndall. Judge J. T. Merryman. French Quinn. Chris Eicher.

They want to know It these visitor* paid for their eggs in "C notes" and In return got protection for 'gambling places. At lesst 50 persons, including gamblers, bank tellers. Internal revenue agents and accountanta, were among the first witnesses summoned to appear before the grand jury which last week returned an indictment charging M. L. Annenberg. millionaire publisher, with evading payment of more than 15.500.000 Income taxes from 1932 to 1936. The first w I mess, as the jury took up the problem of how a moderately busy junk yard could finance purchase of vast country estates and blooded livestock, was William «Blg BUD Johnson, reputed operator of some of Chicagoland's most elaborate gambling enterprises. Another witness waa George tDoci Willlama, private investigator who has worked for the alcohol revenue division during prohibition days, the city police and the state's sttorney's oflk-e during the last two decades.
