Talking It Over BY DANIEL (Batting for Joe William*)

NEW YORK. Aug. 15. THEY tell me that the return match between Gallant Fox and Whlchone at Saratoga on Saturday may develop into the record betting race of a season which hasn’t been particularly prolific in the matter of financial increment for the poor, starving bookmakers. Interest in the effort of the Whitney colt to even the 1930 score with the Fox is reported to rage intensely, even among the matutinal garglers of the Spa's various healing and laughing waters, whose concern about horses practically ceased when nags were discarded as haulers of our street cars. man Mr Brittle agent at Here Eaten **n6 ward that rratbearda and kindlr old ladies ail In Congress Park and rise the race the aid pro and con until it is time to rath for another brimming beaker af refreshing hathorn ar roe as—and then they start nroing and ronnlng all OTer stain.

FLAG HOPES CENTERED ON CUB-ROBINS FINALE

Brooklyn Pilot May Start Luque on Slab; Root Is Bruins’ Choice Chicago Adds Full Game to Lead When Malone Holds Flatbushers.for sto 1 Triumph; Attendance Records Broken. BY DIXON STEWART lotted Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Aug. 15— Championship hopes of the Chicago Cubs and the Brooklyn Robins today were centered on a single game—the final contest of their current four-game series at Wrigley field. Although the National League race has more than a month to run and promises to remain a three-club fight right up to the end of the season, both the Robins and Cubs believed today’s game likely to decide the ultimate winner of the 1930 championship.

Chicago gained a full game lead over the Robins Thursday when Pat Malone pitched his mates to a 5 to 1 triumph, and will hold first place regardless of the outcome of today’s game. However, a defeat would cut their lead to .002 points and seriously endanger the Cubs’ chances of building up the four-game lead they desire as a working margin for their road trip, which starts Sept. 1. New York’s Giants have profited more by the Robins-Cubs series than either of the contenders, advancing to within three and onehalf games of first place. The current Cubs-Robins series has shattered all attendance records for a mid-week series in Chicago. More than 118,000 fans witnessed the first three games and with 17.500 women as “ladies’ day’’ guests another overflow crowd was in prospect today. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Cubs planned to send his star pitcher, Charley Root, against the Robins, while Adolfo Luque, veteran Cuban, was scheduled to work for Brooklyn. Luque defeated the Cubs in his last start against them and has been primed for the test. Root has won three of his five starts against Brooklyn this season and on his last apearance on the mound pitched the Cubs to a 6 to 0 victory over Boston.

the more remarkable when one remembers that he started and finished nine of the ten games—with a fifth place club behind him. Ferrell hung up No. 20 on Thursday when he let the leading Philadelphia Athletics down with seven hits. While Ferrell was doing so nobly his mates pounded a trio of hurlers for twenty hits and fifteen runs. Whitehill also gave up but seven hits as the Tigers beat the New York Yankees. 5 to 1. The Tiger southpaw fanned eleven Yankee batsmen. Roy Sherid, who started for the New Yorkers, got along nicely until the fifth when Elias Funk tripled with bases loaded. F-ddie (Bull! Durham, second-string pitcher. allotAd the St. Louis Browns but four singles as the Red Sox triumphed 3 to 0. Durham did not issue a base on balls. The Senators swept their series with the Chicago White Sox by taking the final tilt sto 4. Chicago made a desperate bid for victory ip the ninth when Kerr and Watwood singled with two down, but Crowder, sent to relieve Liska, struck out FothergiU to end the game. Pat Malone's blinding speed and tricky slants were too much for the Brooklyn Robins and the Chicago Cubs took the third game of the important series. 5 to 1. The St. Louis' Cards and Boston RraTes split a donble-beader. the Cards winning the opener. 4 to 3. and the Braves taking the second. 3 to 5. The Cards* defeat in the second game broke their winning streak of six. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and New York and Cincinnati were rained out.

The Corridenites got away to a ffying start with two runs in the first stanza when Hoffman swatted a double to score Narlesky and Tucker. It was enough for Murphy, Apostle starting pitcher, and Van Atta, a southpaw, relieved him. Slim Harriss hurled the eighth after Van Atta was removed for a pinch hitter. The Tribe hit total was ten, with Tucker leading with three. Clarence Hoffman had a good night, batting in three runs on two hits and he also drew an intentional pass. Narljsky and Barnhart were others with two safeties apiece. Bud Connolly accepted eleven chances at second, ten being assists, and Ryan at short thrilled the crowd by a spectacular stop and throw back of second in the fifth. It was splendid entertainment for the crowd of 4,500 with many women and children on hand as guests of President Norman Perry.

Denies Big Offer for Vet Hitter Sox Secretary Says $50,000 Talk for Joe Hauser Is Untrue. B'J United Prest CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—Harry Grabiner, secretary of the Chicago White Sox, denied today that an offer of $50,000 and Bud Clancy had been made to the Baltimore (International League) club for Its first baseman, Joe Hauser. The veteran Hauser has been going big, but his a,ge is 31. ‘•We haven't even mentioned the subject to Baltimore and no such deal has been contemplated—there is nothing to it,” declared Grabiner when informed that Lou Barbour, White Sox traveling secretary, had announced the offer at Washington. “I don’t believe Barbour made such a statement. He wouldn't, for he hasn’t the authority to handle matters of that kind.” Hauser, who was one of the American League’s star sluggers half-dozen years ago, has broken one International League record this year and apparently is on* his way to several others. Old Joe already has fifty-four home runs to his credit, needing bus seven more to break Babe Ruth’s American League record. In addition, he has batted in 153 runs. He hit two home? * and drove in five runs Thursday t Buffalo. The veteran’ oest work in the big leagues was done with the Athletics prior to 1925 when he suffered a severe knee injury in coring training.

Never Too Old to Learn Bu United Prets CHICAGO. Aug. 15.—Uncle Wilbert’s post mortem over his team's defeat by the Cubs Thursday resulted in a unanimous verdict against starting a southpaw on the mound. “No one ever will talk me into starting a left-handed pitcher against the Cubs again,” the veteran Brooklyn pilot said. “I gambled on Clark Thursday, against my better judgment, just to satisfy the folk who have been wondering why I didn’t use my southpaws against the Cubs. Well, 38.000 fans saw why and we lost our game, “A left-hander simply hasi.'t any business in there tossing to that gang of right-handed sluggers, and you won't see it happen again unless all my right-handers are in the hospital.”
