The teams were to battle in the seoend series tilt this afternoon at 3 and on Sunday afternoon there will be a double header starting at 2. Victory today will boost the Indians to the runner-up position back of the league-leading Saints. Tho Tribesmen were trailing the apostles this morning seven and one-half games. Rally in First Inning The big turnout of fans Friday tickled the Indians and they played heads-up baseball, going through the struggle without a miscue. They hopped off to a lead of three runs in the initial round on a walk to Narlesky, Walker's single, Manager McCann’s double and Beaore’s single. Two more Tribe markers went over In the third on Walker’s single, McCann’s triple, an error by Olivares and Riddle’s long fly. Hildebrand held the Colonels to four hits, three by Bill Herman, star second sacker. The visitors’ lone rim registered in the third on singles by Herman and Hoffman and an infield out tough to handle. On this play Branom socked a line drive that Hildebrand broke down and shortstop Goldman dashed in to get the runner at first. Goldman Shines It was Goldman’s first appearance on tfce home lot and he lived up to advance notices in the field and added a surprise by poling a single and double. Tribe, hits off of Lefty Weiland were eight. He issued seven walks, however, and was on the verge of being derricked a couple of times. It’s a sizzling race among six of the A.

Maranville’s 39, But He Still Can Show ’Em Things

BY GEORGE KIRKSEI' United Press Staff Correspondent C CHICAGO, July 25.—Through almost twenty years of active duty in * the National League, Walter J. (Rabbit) Maranville, Boston Braves’ diminutive shortstop, has remained one of baseball’s marvels. 1 With the retir-ment of Eddie Collins from active duty, Maranville all 5 feet 5 inches of him—has succeeded to the title, “Dean of Major League Players.” There are three players left who broke into the big show in 1912, Maranville, Herb Pennock, Yankees’ southpaw, and Eppa Rixey, Cincinnati southpaw, but the two pitchers were out of baseball the war year of 1918 and are now serving their nineteenth seasons. Maranville played eleven games in 1918 and is now in his twentieth season. “If you had observed training rules do you think you would have ' lasted any longer?” Maranville was asked Friday night. “I don’t see how the hell I could,” he snapped. “I haven't had a drink in five years, ibt even when I was drinking it didn't seem to bother me so much. It always gave me pepper.” “Why do you figure your legs have stood up so long under the strain?” “I never was on them much,” he replied. “Even when I was drinking I always stayed off them as much as I could. Then, you see, I never weighed over 152 and there wasn’t so much pressure on them. The only ■ trouble I ever had with them was a broken leg in 1925 and blood poisoning from a cut in 1914. And they are still good for a few more years.” \

Miss Dunn Back on Women’s Golf Throne BY DICK MILLER Miss Elizabeth Dunn. Riverside municipal course star, was back on the throne as state golf champion today after three years' effort to regain the pinnacle she held in 1926 and 1927. Throughout these six years, since Miss Dunn broke into golfdom’s limelight back in 1926 at the Indianapolis Country Club and won the state title as a dark horse, she has been master of the local field and nty champion. But she was able to defend her state crown only once, in 1927, and lost in 1928 at Terre Haute, where Mrs. A. E. Bulson of Ft. Wayne ascended to the throne and stayed there until this week.

Unleashing a marvelous game of golf against her youthful opponent, Miss Alice Belle English, 17-year-old West Lafayette girl, Miss Dunn banged out a perfect par, 39, on the first nine holes of the title match Friday at Avalon to be three up at the turn. Miss English, who depends on her wood clubs as the strong forte of her game, sliced and topped shots on the first few holes that cost her several chances. On the other hand the champion drove well and had a magic touch with her putter, sinking some long ones from treacherous down hill lies. One of these was worth a birdie on the second hole and an other a par on the third. They both won the holes for her. After missing a one-foot putt on the tenth green to go four down, the battling little West Lafayette miss started a rally on the thirteenth that threatened to put an end to another of Miss Dunn’s title bids. She won two holes, one with a birdie and another with a par, leaving the Indianapolis champion two up, with four to play. Miss English selected the wrong club on the next hole and lost it, but she came back

New York Mitt Heads Drop Sharkey From Title Talk

By United Press NEW YORK. July 25.—The New York state athletic commission apparently is through backing Jack Sharkey as the world’s, heavyweight boxing champion. That much was indicated Friday by William Muldoon, spokesman for the committee, in a conversation with Jack Kearns, manager of Mickey Walker, who held Sharkey to a draw in their fifteen-round battle for the “American heavyweight championship” at Brooklyn Wednesday night. Muldoon questioned Keams regarding the prospects of a WalkerSchmeling bcut for the title and intimated that the commission approve such a contest and accorded titular recognition to the victor.

Ah! Here’s New Way to Beat Races in Chicago

By United Press CHICAGO, July 25.—A couple of Chicago horse players have a new system to beat the races. They had their money on Gone Away in the sixth race at Arlington Park Thursday, but the horse finished second. When Jockey George Ellis, who rode Gone Away, returned home after the races, he found two men with revolvers waiting for him. “All right, jockey,” said one of them, “let us have your money. We played you to win today and you crossed us up by finishing second.” They took S3OO in cash from Ellis and jewelry valued at $6,500 from his wife. •

to win the seventeenth with another birdie and leave the match one up for Miss Dunn as they walked to the last tee. Miss English again missed a golden opportunity on the eighteenth green, where she had two putts for a win, the last from one yard, but missed and Miss Dunn halved the hole and won the championship. It was a week of glory for the young Lafayette school girl, however. She failed to qualify last year at Hammond. In the 1931 tourney, she unleashed brilliant golf and staged sensational rallies to nose out Mrs. A. E. Bulson, defending champion, and Miss Dorothy Gustafson, a title favorite. Both Miss Dunn and Miss English played stellar golf in the title battle, with the city star turning in an 83, the challenger an 85. Large galleries attended all of the matches, with more than 1,000 lining the fairways for the Dunn-English battle. With golf of the fiction type in the records, the 1931 event goes down as one of the best. Next year’s meet will be held at Coquillard Club, South Bend.

fused to recognize Max as anything except the “German champion,” and had barred him from fighting any one in New York state except Sharkey. It was brought out at the commission meeting Friday that a low blow by Sharkey, similar to the one which cost him his match with Max Schmeling, cost the Boston battler the decision in his fight with Walker. Judge Charles F. Mathison in a written report said that he would have given Sharkey the eighth round and the decision except for the low blow. According to New York commission rulings, a fighter striking a low blow, no matter how great his advantage, should lose the round in which the blow was struck.

ALTHOUGH 39 years old and a veteran of 2,297 games in the National League. Maranville is far from a broken down ball player nearing the end of his string. He can out-think and out-hustle most of his contemporaries to this day, even though he may not cover as much ground as, say Travis Jackson or Woody English. It was Maranvixle's quick thinking and daring execution which enabled the Braves to beat the Cubs in the second game of the present series. He threw himself in the path of the tall to break up a double play. The ball hit him in the cheek and hit him cold, but when he was brought to with smelling salts his first question wasn’t concerning his welfare, but his team's. “How many runs came in?” he asked. “Two. ’ was the answer and a moment later two more, which were enough to win the game, whereas the double play would have retired the side scoreless. Maranville says his greatest thrill came in tha 1914 world series when he scooped up Eddie Murphy's sharp hit grounder, stepped on second and threw to first for a double play which retired the Athletics in the ninth inning and enabled the Braves to win the second game, 1-0. Maranville has played with five National League clubs and under seven managers. The St. Louis Cardinals, 1928 league champions, he ranks as the best team he ever played on, and the Boston Braves, 1914 world champions, as the greatest “bunch of fighters.” George Stallings, manager of the 1914 Braves, was Maranville’s favorite manager.

Pirates Find Stride, Humble Poor Robins BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 25.—Pittsburgh’s Pirates, who blew their championship hopes during the first half of the season, arc proving a serious menace to Brooklyn’s bid for the 1931 National League pennant. The Pirates, until a few weeks ago handicapped by injuries, appear finally to have hit the stride expected of them and have taken three out of four contests from the Robins. The defeats have placed Brooklyn eight games behind the pace-setting St. Louis Cardinals and leave the Robins’ margin over the third-place Chicago Cubs only half a game.

It took superb relief hurling by Larry French to turn the Robins back Friday, 8 to 7. Brooklyn, after pounding three Pirate pitchers for twenty-one hits, faced French in the ninth with the bases loaded, no one out and only one run needed to tie the score. French retired the first man to face him on a pop fly and forced the next batter to line into a double play. Lefty O’Doul, who made life so miserable for the Chicago and St. Louis pitchers a few days ago, continued his brilliant hitting with five hits in as many times at bat. St. Louis increased its leadership to eight full games by taking both ends of a double-header from Philadelphia. 10 to 0, and 7 to 2. Flint Rhem allowed the Phillies only four hits in the opener while Burleigh Grimes was the master in the nightcap.
