Defense Costs Braves Chance At Loop Lead New York. July 25 (HP)—Hitting and pitching win the headlines. but the Boston Braves were finding today that it takes more than that to win the bail games You have to be able to catch and throw the ball, too. Boston still is in second place in the National league, but steadily Is receding from the flying Brooklyn Dodgers, and from the rear is coming the thunder of the St. Louis Cardinals, now in all-out pursuit of the Dodgers. The Brave pitching still Is among the heat in the league, with John Sain. Warren Spahn. Bill Voiselle and Red Barrett taking regular turns, and Bob Elliott. Johnny Hopp. Tommy Holmes and Earl Torgeson are hit ting well. But the Brave defense has made 11 errors In its last eight games, and Boston has lost five of the games. Twice In that span the Braves made three boots In one game. Two of the losses were directly due to errors, and while it would be impossible to say how important were the miscues in the other games, it can be said that no pitcher's effectiveness is helped by uncertainty behind him. and often the complexion of u game Is changed by presence of a baserunner, whether by error or hit. I The Braves made one error yesterday and it cost them a run as the Chicago Cubs triumphed. 6 to L Elliott bobbled Andy Pafko's grounder In the third and Phil Cavaretta followed with a triple. Rookie Cliff Aberson hit two trippies and hatted in three runs as the Cubs larruped Spahn for his fifth loss against 13 victories. Bad fielding was Just as costly at Cincinnati, where right fielder Frank Baumholtz misplayed two balls and handed the Dodgers three runs in a 6 to 1 Brooklyn victory. Baumholtz muffed Dixie Walker's liner in the first Inning and a run scored, and in the fifth inning he was alow about hacking up for

type of production, some new business venture. Apparently not to be outdone by former generations, this one Is com Ing up with a new venture < new for Decatur, at least — and unusual for most any community I. Whereas in the olden days D* catur shipped horses to various pari* of the nation, and even across the'seas — today it l« shipping dogs. Operator of the comparatively new business here Is Hoy Ble.-ke, young Union township resident, who for the past two years has been compiling a business record nothing short of remarkable Roy ships dogs, those of the collie and shepherd variety, to scattered points of the country. Day after day downtown Decaturites can hear the yipping of the catlines as they roll through the city toward the Railway Express offlcm here and ultimately their new destination and owner. Roy buys the shaggy animals here, there and everywhere and then sells them through advertise ments in nationally known farm magazines. year, it Is reported, he shipped some 1.600 of the canines through the local ezprees company offices, where Bob Krick has become almost as accustomed to their barking as Roy, himself. The venture has presumably proved a profitable one for the young businessman, as is evidenced by the operator'* new custom-built town and country sedan of a well known make. Oh yes. and to those who desire one. Mr. Bleeke furnishes a booklet ou how to train dogs to become what practically every owner wishes his canine would he.
