Senators Move To Within Game Os League Lead New York, Aug. 22 — (UP) — The long strong arm of Bobo New soni, motivated by memories of a happier year when he was pitching for instead against the Detroit Tigers; turned out to be a little too old and a little too tired. He had the heart and head yesterday in his personal experiment of pitching a double header for the Athletics at Detroit and. with a little more speed and stamina, might have fared better. As it was the A’s got a split and it wasn't until the ninth inning of the second game that the Tigers ever were in front of Newsom. In the opener, which Philadelphia won, 7to 6, in 11 innings. Newsom gave way to jittery Joe Berry in the seventh when he had a 6 to 3 lead. The Tigers worked uphill and finally tied the score at 6-all in the ninth on Rudy York's 12th homer. The A’s clinched it in the 11th on Irvhig Hall’s single and Ed Smith's double. Bobo pitched in the second game until the ninth when, in a downpour of rain, he yielded two singles and a double to give the Tigers a 6-all tie with no outs. Berry came in again and York singled to Pace from their brilliant pitching, beat the Indians at Cleveland. 11 to 8. That left them only a game behind Detroit. A 15-hit attack, highlighted by Buddy Lewis, who made a triple, a double and a single, gave Mi< key Haefner his 13th win without much effort. Charley (Red) Ruffing got his first shutout and fourth victory since returning from the army as the Yankees won two at Chicago, 3 to 0 and 6 to 2. Ruffing pitched hitless ball for five innings and yielded only five hits in all in heating Thornton Lee. Three unearned runs gave New York its margin as Allen Gettel pitched a five-hit-ter in the second game. The Browns and Red Sox divided. St. Louis took the opener. 2 to 1, with Lou Finney scoring both runs as Nelson Potter gained his 11th win. Rain halted the second game at live innings after Boston came from behind with three runs on triples by Ixm Culberson and Johnny Lazor and singlee by Bob Johnson ami Ty Laforest. Mike Schemer’s triple, his fourthstright hit and his sixth in a row in two games, gave the Giants a 4 to 3 victory over the Cubs ia the ninth inning at New York. Ace Adams won his 10th game in relief. Claude Passeau was the loser as the Cubs dropped their second straight to the Giants.

Off.) | O — o Heidelberg, Aug. 22—(UP)—The five touring sports writers from the United States stepped out of Adolf Hitler’s huge, gray, armor plated Mercedes-Benz convertible sedan beneath the plum trees at rhe edge of a soccer field and met with a series of handshakes, Peter Christiansen, Heidelberg University’s fencing master since 1931. The soccer field is adjacent to the red-crossed roof of the surgical hospital of the university where Christiansen has been stationed. Christiansen, a 49-year-old gray-ish-brown haired man with a crew haircut, wore a short leather battle jacket and long plus-fours. He is powerful and agile and looked like the perfect picture of the traditional Prussian officer although he claimed he was raised in north Schleswig-Holstein which is now Danish. Despite the surprising visit of the United States writers in Hitler's automobile, Christiansen appeared to be elated although somewhat on the defensive. The reporter wanted to know the effect of the German defeat on

fencing at Heidelberg. Christiansen puffed his chest and smiled before replying through an interpreter. “If the university athletic directors had been permitted to pursue a normal course, whi< h Hitler refused to permit, there would have been a great development in fencing,” he said. “Hitler abolished dueling at Heidelberg in 1933 on the grounds that he didn’t want rhe Germans to shed precious blood. However, many duels were fought secretly since then, especially during Hitler’s early regime.” Christiansen said that before Hitler the Heidelberg men had several fraternities which were different from America’s Greek letter fraternities because most of them depended upon the ability
