Jake Flowers, Former Robin, Bats Cards to Triumph Over Brooklyn
BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 15.—1f the Brooklyn Robins still had Jim Elliott, Harvey Hendrick and Jake Flowers on their pay roll they probably would be heading the parade for the 1931 National League pennant. Ever since Brooklyn traded and sold the three players to other National League clubs they have made it their business to do their best when opposing their former teammates. They have been highly successful—so successful in fact that if the games in which they have beaten the Robins this year were placed on the right side of the ledger, Brooklyn would be in first place. But because Elliott is pitching for Philadelphia. Hendrick playing first base for Cincinnati and Flowers shortstopping for St. Louis, the Robins are in fourth place, seven games from the leadership. Elliott in particular has added insult to injury. He has started six games against Brooklyn this year and won five of them. In a series with Cincinnati a month ago the Robins dropped three of four games mostly because Hendrick was hitting the ball with men on bases. Flowers, who only recently went to the Cardinals, kept up the good work of the Brooklyn cast-offs Tuesday when he was largely responsible for St. Louis’ 3-to-2 victory over the Robins. Flowers scored two runs, got three of the seven hits Dazzy Vance yielded, and paved the way for the winning run in the eighth. In that inning Wrightmessed up his grounder, Watkins forced Flowers, but Frisch came through with a triple that brought in the winning tally. The victory increased the Cardinals’ lead over the second place New York Giants to five and one-half games. The Giants fell victims to Guy Bush and the Cbieaeo Cubs. 8 to 4. Bush shut
Larrupin’ Lou Gehrig smacked out his twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth 'home runs of the season in the first | game of a twin bill with Cleveland I Tuesday and broke the deadlock with Chuck Klein of the Phillies ior the major league lead, Klein has twenty-three, while Babe Ruth, Lou’s teammate, has twenty-one.
Thirty-four of that field will win starting berths in the championship proper. The San Francisco district, which is awarded three starting places, drew the smallest number of entrants—five. SHARKEY OFF FORM By Times Special POMPTON LAKES, N. J., July 15.—Jack Sharkey, Boston gob, in training for his heavyweight battle with Mickey Walker, erstwhile middleweight champion, at Ebbets field next Wednesday night, still is far from his best form. In working against five sparring mates for five rounds Tuesday, Jack received rough treatment from Jack Polisec, Joe Banovic and Yale Okun, light heavies, and Paul Cavalier, Paterson heavy. Jack Renault failed to show much. Sharkey’s long layoff apparently has taken its toll.
out the McGraw clan for eight innings, but weakened in the ninth. It didn't matter, however, for his mates had piled up a big; lead off Morrell, a New York rookie. The victory advanced the Cubs to third place, .001 percentage point ahead of Brooklyn. The Cincinnati inflelders. Cuccinello and Stripp. had an off day and their lapses gave the Boston Braves a 3-to-2 victory. Cuccinello fumbled two grounders arid Stripp failed to cover third base on a bunt. It gave the Braves a big enough margin for old Tom Zachary to work on. Pittsburgh climbed to sixth place by taking a twin bill from Philadelphia, 9 to 4 and 3 to 2 In ten Innings. The Pirates pounded three hurlers hard to allow Heine Meine to coast to victory in the first game while the second was a pitching duel between Spencer and Collins. Collins lost out In the tenth on pinchhitter Brame’s single. Philadelphia’s advantage over Washington for the American League leadership remained at six games. Both teams lost, the Athletics dropping a 12 to 3 decision to Detroit and the Senators coming out on the short end of a 9 to X score against the Chicago White Sox. It took New York and Cleveland to furnish the fireworks in the American League. The Yankees made nineteen hits and received eleven bases on balls in the

By United Press PORTLAND, Ore., July 15.—A field of thirty-one youthful golfers lined up today against Johnny Lehman of Chicago as Lehman began his actual defense of the western amateur title which he won in 1930. Headed by 19-year-old Eddie Hogan, who scored a 140 in the qualifying rounds, the field of young stars sizzled with class and it was evident Lehman would be hard pressed to retain his honors. Lehman, former Purdue star, did not play in the qualifying rounds. Hogan scored low among the thirtvone qualifiers, with Jack Gaines of Glendale, Cal.; Johnny Robbins of Portland and Charles Hunter of Tacoma, Wash., tying for second with 148s.

By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, July 15.—The seventh-place Indians invaded Millertown today for a stay of four days and it will be a busy series owing to postponements hanging over from the early season visit of the Tribesmen to this territory.

Kansas City trounced the boys of McCann, 7 to 3, with Donohue doing a neat job of keeping nine Tribe hits scattered. Berly Horne, Hoosier starting pitcher, w r as bumped hard and was dynamited for eleven safeties in six innings, all seven K. C. runs being earned. Horne dropped out for a pinch hitter in the seventh and Russ Miller hurled the last two stanzas for the losers. Angley w-as the lone Indian to collect more than one hit off of Dono-

The home runs were the Yankees’ first baseman's 24th and 25th of the season and the Indians’ outfielder’s 17th and 18th while the stolen bases gave Chapman a total of thirtT-three thefts so far this year. St. Louis defeated Boston, 5 to 3. in the other major league contest. MAIDEN PAY’S 5267.46 LATONIA, Ky„ July 15.—When longer long shots are put over, it may be M. E. Casey who will do it.
