Talking It Over BY DANIEL Batting for Joe Williams!

NEW YORK. Aug. 12—Adonis Bill Terry's lofty perch in the National League batting averages presents most interesting possibilities. Perhaps it presages the throttling of a hoodoo which has been all too assiduous in its malign attentions to Giant aspirants for clubbing leadership ever since New York came into the ancient circuit back in the days of the Mutuals and the Atlantics. walrus mustachioed outfielders and Nadjy uniforms. m m m Tbi* fin* b partlmUrly •*!** •*rr aiare John 1■ M<Grw took ehree of thr r,it*.

ROBINS HOPE TO BREAK SLUMP AGAINST CUBS

Chicago Leads After Dodgers Drop Fourth Straight to Cardinals Dazzy Vance Probable Brooklyn Starter in First of FourGame Series; Bush or Blake to Hurl „ . for Bruins. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Aug. 12.—Brooklyn's Robins, dark horse of the National League pennant race, and the Chicago Cubs, pre-season favorites to repeat their 1929 victory, were scheduled to meet today at Wrigley field in the first contest of a" four-same series which is expected to decide the turbulent 1930 pennant race Th? Cubs, riding on the crcsf of a five-game winning streak which has carried them to the top of the league, regard the “little world series" as the deciding point in their bid for a second successive pennant and were confident of victory.

i The Robins, in the throes of their i worst slump of the year, staked their [chances on the strong right arnPof i Dazzy Vance, hoping to end a four- | game losing streak and to break the “jinx” possessed by the Cubs in previous competition this year. It was | believed Bush or Blake would hurl for the Bruins today. Brooklyn's confidence was weakened by four consecutive defeats by the St. Louis Cardinals and the fact that they have won only four games in fifteen starts against the Cubs. Previous to running afoul the Cards, Brooklyn had experienced little trouble with clubs other than the Cubs, and at the start of the St. Louis engagement enjoyed a three and one-half-game league lead. Pour defeats at St. Louis while the Cubs were winning three from Boston, left the Robins tied with the Cubs in games won and lost, but with the Chicagoans holding a .001 point percentage advantage. With their longest losing streak already equaled and the Cubs as their opponents for the next four days, the Robins face a big mental handicap. The Robins have won only one game in seven starts at Wrigley field this season. Monday's defeat at St. Louis indicated the Robins are becoming panic stricken. Poor base running and erratic fielding—features of the play of Brooklyn teams in past years which have been missing from the 1930 drive—gave the Cards the game. Meanwhile the Cubs have been playing their best ball of the season. Hack Wilson, inspiration of the Cubs attack, is clubbing the ball at a record clip and four successive low-hit pitching performances by Bob Osborn. Pat Malone, Charley Root and Bud Teachout have eliminated Manager McCarthy’s worries over his mound staffGODFREY TO BOX HERE Giant Negro Heavy Will Meet Eli Lee Aug. 20.

Close Tilt Is Taken by Saints Gomez Beats Hildebrand in Mound Battle as Anderson Steals Home. BY EDDIE ASH Advantage of experience won the decision, 2 to TANARUS, for Vernon Gomez, youthful St. Paul southpaw, in a strikeout mound battle with Oral j Hildebrand, the Indians’ collegian, in the series opener at Washington park Monday night. Each fanned : eight men and the hits were four I for the visitors and three for the home nine, but Gomez was steady with runners on the sacks whereas Hildebrand was troubled under these circumstances. The victory gave Lefty Leifield’s pastimers undisputed possession of second place tiree and one-half games back of the league-leading Colonels, for the Toledo Hens, the third close pennant contender, were bumped off and shut out by Kansas City. Tribe Hitters Baifled Gomez was purchased for a big sum by the New York Yankees from the San Francisco Seals of the Coast League last winter and about two weeks ago was assigned to the Apostle staff. In five of the nine innings Monday the southpaw kept gthe Indians off the base paths and two of the three hits registered off him were made by Hildebrand. In other words the Tribe regulars were baffled. The lone Indian run scored in the fourth on a walk to Narlesky, steal and Hoffman’s single. In the third round the first Apostle marker was chalked up when Gomez worked Hildebrand for a pass, moved up on a wild pitch and scored on Paschal’s single, after Wanninger and Saltzgaver were erased on strikes. Roettger also fanned in this stanza. Decision Is Close In the first of the fourth Hildebrand had a tough inning, two walks, a wild pitch and four stolen bases accounting for an enemy run that proved the victory marker. And it was a theft of home by Harold Anderson that beat the tall Tribe flinger. The decision at the plate was close and the Indians protested violently. At any rate it was a snappy ball game and the big Monday crowd was pleased to see the Tribesmen give the speedy Saints a hard fight. Leifield’s team possesses much more speed of the leg than the home athletes. Twin Bill Tonight Hildebrand fielded his position in style with six assists and Hbffman of the Indians covered wide and deep territory in the middle garden. Narlesky and Saltzgaver were other fielding stars. There will be a double-header tonight, first tilt at 7. Single games will be played Wednesday and Thursday nightsThursday night, the windup of the Apostle series and the last game before the Indians leave on a long trip, will be Logansport night at the illuminated diamond and a large party of Logansport fans will be on hand to pay respects to Manager Johnny Corriden and to see how the national pastime is played under the lamps. Corriden hails from Logansport and his numerous hometown friends are going to show him a royal time.
