place McGrawmen The Robins’ western invasion calls for two games at Pittsburgh today and Thursday, followed by five games at St. Louis, four games at Chicago, and then a double-header against the Pirates at Pittsburgh Aug. 16, after which Brooklyn returns home for one game with the Pirates Sunday, Aug. 17. The Robins then return to Pittsburgh for two more games followed by five games against the Reds at Cincinnati. Robins Fall to Crack The failure of the Robins to crack under the strain of leading the league has perplexed many observers who predicted they would fall to pieces before August. Instead the Robins have come back admirably after losing the lead-twice. Strategy that failed prevented the Giants from making a possible j clean sweep of the series just ended against the Robins. The Giants lost Sunday when Dave Bancroft, acting manager in the absence of John McGraw, ordered Carl Hubbell, who had held the Robins to four hits, to walk Wright and Bressler, after Herman had doubled, and try for a double play. After filling the bases, Hubbell was unable to regain his control and walked Flowers, forcing in the only run of the game. Wright made only one hit in the series and Bressler is hitting .268. Removes Heving McGraw himself made what proved to be a costly move Tuesday after the Giants had staged a spectacular five-run rally in the ninth to tie the score, 6-6. Joe Heving, Giants’ brilliant relief hurler, retired the top end of the Robins’ batting order one-two-three, and then was removed for Bob O'Farrell, a pinch hitter, with one out and the bases empty. The situation did not call for a pinch hitter, and McGraw's move amazed many close followers of baseball. O’Farrell was an easy out, after which the Giants staged a rally to score two runs and take the lead, 8-6. Bill Walker pitched the tenth inning for the Giants, and Brooklyn, aided by a costly error by Lindstrom, scored three runs to win the game, 9-8.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

11 to 8. Warmouth went the route for the visitors in the opener while Miller took a beating on the Tribe mound and Muirooney finished for him. In the windup fracas the Tribesmen outhit the Blues, fifteen to twelve, but a six-run rally in the seventh enabled the K. C. pastimers to finish on the long end of the score. In this struggle the visitors used three hurlers, Sheehan, Thomas and Day, and Indianapolis four, Van Alstyne, Cvengros, Muirooney and Burwell. It was a swatfest. Bill Burwell and Claude Jonnard, still on the hospital list, couldn’t be employed as starting hurlers, which placed Manager Corriden in a terrible pickle, for his mound staff is worn ragged. There were plenty of extra base hits in both games and the outfielders spent much time chasing into the shadows retrieving the bounding sphere. The fourth battle of the series will be staged tonight, starting at 8 and on’Thursday night another twin bill is planned. Seven Yankee Golfers Win Bu I niled Press LONDON.

Three Class AA Loops Defy Universal Draft Ultimatum of Majors American Association, International and Coast Circuits Threaten Open Warfare; Barnard Says Big Leagues Will Accept Challenge. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—With the decision of the American Association, Pacific Coast and International leagues to ignore the draft ultimatum of the majors, baseball men today prepared for open warfare between the Class AA organizations and the two major leagues. Representatives of the three Class AA leagues met here Tuesday and went on record as refusing to conform to the universal draft, thus defying the major league threat to sever all player relations with leagues not accepting the draft before Dec. 1, 1930.

Although refusing to announce their plans for fighting the major league boycott, under which the big leagues would refuse to buy, sell, trade and transfer players to nondraft circuit, the Class AA leagues indicated that they would act in harmony and planned to seek the support of other minor leagues in their fight. A committee of three, Walter E. Hapgood, general manager of the Montreal International League club; Charles Graham, vice-president of the San Francisco Pacific Coast League club and Oscar Smith, president of the Toledo American Association club, was appointed to make recommendations for a common policy in regard to the draft and other problems affecting relations between the majors and minor leagues. The committee will report at a special conference in Montreal during the first week in December, immediately after the threaten'd boycott will become effective. By ignoring the draft ultimacUm the minor leagues have put the issue squarely up to the major leagues. The Class AA organizations declared they were within their rights in refusing to accept the draft and said the threatened major league boycott would be a direct violation of the 1921 national agree-

.AUG. 6, 1930

ment, in which leagues opposed to the draft were granted exemption from draft provisions. Since that time, the Class AA leagues agreed to a modified draft by which major leagues could draft players released to the nonselectivo leagues. The majors have mado many efforts to make the draft universal, but the three Class AA lagues and the Western and ThreeI leagues have rejected all proposals for a change in the agreement. President E. S. Barnard of the American League said that the majors were ready to accept the Class AA challenge but that he was confident the difficulty would be Ironed out satisfactorily before Dec. 1. RUTH 13 GAMES AHEAP By United From NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—WitA forty-one home runs to his credit. Babe Ruth was thirteen games and twenty-one days ahead of his 1927 home-run schedule today. Ruth hit No. 41 Tuesday off Irving Hadley of Washington—a tremendous drive which carried 450 feet. In 1927, the year he made his record of sixty, Ruth did not hit No. 41 until his 120th game on Aug. 27.
