BRAVES THREE WINS OVER CARDS TIGHTENS N. L. RACE

Champs' Lead Cut to Two and Half Games Giants, Cubs Triumph to Stay Close Behind Faltering Birds; Brandt Chalks Up Ninth Victory for Boston; American Leaders Winners. BY LEO H. PETERSEN NEW YORK, June 13.—Boston's battling Braves threaten to ruin the 1931 pennant hopes of the St. Louis Cardinals. After demonstrating their superiority over Chicago, New York and Brooklyn, regarded as their most formidable rivals, the Cardinals have faltered in their present series with the Braves and have lost three straight games. The defeats have reduced the lead of the champions in the National League to two and one-half contests over the Giants and Cubs, who are tied for second. Previous to their setbacks at the hands of the Braves, the Cardinals had threatened to pile up a lead that other clubs could not overcome. They took three out of four from the dangerous Giants and duplicated that feat against the overrated Brooklyn Robins.

But manager Gabby Street’s crew struck a snag when the Braves came along and the reverses have tightened up the National League campaign to such an extent that it still is a three-cornered affair between St. Louis, New York and Chicago. Ed Brandt registered his ninth victory yesterday as the Braves made it three straight, 7 to 5. The Braves knocked Burleigh Grimes out of the box in the fifth inning after sheling him for fifteen hits. The Cardinals got only seven blows off Brandt. The Cube made it three in a row over Philadelphia, 7 to 4. to gain a full conteal on the Cardinal**. lister Swectland he?d hi* former teammate* to ten hit*, one of which was Chick Klein’s fifteenth homer. New Yo-k kept pace with Chicago by trimming Pittsburgh. 8 to 2. After a bad first inning. Fitzsimmons settled down and held the Pirates safe. Meliott, with four hits in as many times at bat. led the Giants’ attack, on three Pittsburgh hurlers. I.efty Clark of Brooklyn shut out Cincinnati, 3 to 0. Clark allowed eight hits but effective work in the pinches and brilliant fielding by Glen Wright enabled him to keen the Reds awav from the plate. Philadelphia retained Its three and onehalf came lead in the Amorican League bv defeating St. Louis. 6 to 2. Mahaffev allowed the Browns only four hits. Washington kept pace with the Athletics by making it tbre straight over Cleveland, 7 to 1. Fischer, Senator* rookie, allowed eight blows in turning In his seventh victory. Wes Ferrell was batted hard and retired In the fourth inning. Henry Johnson pitched the New York Yankees to a U to 2 decision over Chicago. Johnson allowed but four hits. Home runs bv Gehrig and Chapman brought about the downfall of McKain, the starting White Sox hurler. The Detroit Tigers continuing their toiling ways and dropped a 3 to 1 decision to the Boston Red Sox. Russell held the Tigers to three hits.

Hitt's Sun Meadow were the only colts considered worthy of competing in this timehonored classic which is to New York what the Kentucky Derby is to the Blue Grass state.

Saints Will Be Here Sunday for Series Millers Wind IJp Visit With Single Game Today; Indians Drop Friday Night Tilt After Walloping Kels in Afternoon. BY EDDIE ASH Splitting their double-header Friday, Indians and Millers were still even as they prepared to do battle in the series ftnale this afternoon. Lefty Leifield's St. Paul Saints will be the next visiting attraction at the Tribe park, opening on the Sabbath. The Apostles are running second, having lost the league lead to Louisville, and another wild scramble is expected when they tangle up with the Hoosiers In the Friday daylight struggle with the Millers, the home nine dished out a decisive thumping to Minneapolis, 11 to 2. with Bill Burwell springing a welcome surprise by returning to the form that earned him the name of Reliable Bill. Mike Kelley's pastimres were held runless in eight of the nine stanzas, their lone two markers scoring in the fourth In the night fracas Friday, Oral L_

Hildebrand, slender Tribe flinger, emulated the autogiro in the ninth inning and ’’blew” the game. In other words he went straight up and Minneapolis rallied for five runs and victory, 6 to 5. It was a hard blow to the Hildebrand followers to see their idol crash, but it was alesson to the youth. He paved the way to his own downfall by forgetting to cover first base when CcCann made a great play on Harris, first at bat in the last round. Furthermore, in the same inning, Hildebrand permitted a runner on second to walk to third. The Millers sensed that the young man was cracking and their artillery wheeled into action with the speed of a motorized outfit. Hildebrand finally was removed, Beryl Horne relieving, but it was too late, and the Indians, out in front, 5 to 1, soon were trailing, 6 to 5, and that’s the way it ended. Koenecke doubled in . the Tribe half of the ninth after one down, but McCullough, Miller hurler. struck out both Angley and Sigafoos. SOX STOP SIMMONS Chicago White Sox are operating on a theory that they finally have a way in which to curtail A1 Simmons’ prowess at bat. They fed him nothing but slow stuff and kept it all low in a recent series. Whether the theory is sound or whether it was just a coincidence is a question, but at any rate, Simmons was up at bat seventeen times during the series and made three hits.

and two defeats each and Mitchell of New York holds fifth place with seven triumphs and two defeats. Cleveland set the pace in club batting in the American League, while the Chicago Cubs topped the National. The averages: AMERICAN LEAGUE Clere’and .302 Washington 300 New York 292 St. Louis 232 Philadelphia 280 Boston 273 Chicago 256 Detroit 251 NATIONAL LEAGUE Chicago 297 New York 292 St. Louis 283 Philadelphia 278 Cincinnati 275 Boston 265 Brooklyn .264 Pittsburgh 204

Royal Pines golf ball test here Thursday. The score was 5 and 4, but that was incidental. Both balls were given the same trial because Voight and Cox used the old balls on the first nine holes while their opponents used the new. On the tenth tee they switched ammunition. Voigt’s brilliant putting with both balls was the outstanding feature of the match, while Perkins treated the gallery to an excellent exhibition of long driving, averaging 253 yards with the old ball and 233 With the new. Voight had eight one-putt greens, five of them with the new ball and three with the old. a a a Measuring ail drives with the steel tape, these distant averages for drives were obtained: Perkins, driving the new ball on the first nine, averaged 233 yards, and coming back with the old, 253. Mehlhorn averaged 241 yards with the new ball and 239 with the old. Cox drove the new ball for an average of 222 and the old for 233. Voigt averaged 213 with the new ball and 226 with the old. Thus, Mehlhorn was the only one of the quartet who got better yardage with the new ball. All the men had better luck with the new ball when it came to putting. And in case you are interested in the scores of the match, Voigt carded a 70, a course record, while the other three contestants turned in cards of 73 each. BLANKENSHIP Ted Blankenship, veteran who formerly pitched for the Chicago White Sox, has been signed by Topeka of the Western League.
