Giants’ Flag Hopes Climb With Five-Game Win Streak

BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Aug. s.—John McGraw and his New York Giants are members of the select little group which refuses to concede the 1931 ' National League pennant to the St. Louis Cardinals. In fact, the New York players were confident today their current winning streak of five games is the start of a drive which will bring the National League flag back to the polo grounds after an absence of six years. The Giants’ confidence was strengthened Tuesday by a double victory over Brooklyn, 6 to 3 and 3 to 2, and the New Yorkers now believe they can overcome St. Loius’ seven-game lead and win the pennant. Fine pitching hr Fred Fitrsimmons and Bill Walker enabled the Giants to overcome the Brooklvn tin* Tuesdav. Fltieimmons outoitched Clark and Shaute in the first same, winning easily when his mates drove Clark from the monnd with a four-ron attack in the elshth. Walker •was pitted aeainst Jtarrv Vance and each allowed six hits, but Jackson's homer save Walker the winnins marsln. The league-leading St. Louis Cardinals defeated Pitsburgh 7 to 1. to halt the Pirates's string of four consecutive shutout victories. Metne held the Cards scoreless for five innings, but weakened in the .sixth and a three-run attack ended Pittsburgh's scoreless Inning record at fortvsix. . Another record for scoreless innings—this one with reverse English—was ended when the Cincinnati Reds scored in losing • doable-header to the -Chicago Cobs. 4 to 2 and 7 to 3. Until the Reds scored in the sixth inning of the first game thev had failed to make a run for fortv-five consecutive innings A fhirteen-hit attack on Larrv Benton gave the Cubs the first came.

Pleasant Run Star Has 76 for 218 at 54-Hole Mark; Bird Also Gains; Play Starts on Final Lap. BY DICK MILLER It was anybody's championship when Hoosier pro and amateur links stars opened firing on the final eighteen-hole round of the seventy-two-hole Indiana open golf championship at Speedway course today. Ralph Stonehouse, young Pleasant Run pro, who paced the field with two par 71 rounds Tuesday, ran into trouble on his first trip over the long layout and required a 76, giving him a 218 total for the fiftyfour holes. He was two over par on the outgoing nine and three over coming in. , Walter Murray, Vaparaiso pro, shot sticky golf to pull up within one stroke of Stonehouse at this point. He grabbed a par 71 for his morning round for a total of 219, one more than the leader.

Johnny Bird of St. John, Ind., who was Wisconsin open champion in 1929 and lost the crown in a playoff last year, cut three strokes off the five-stroke edge piled up on him by the young local pro in Tuesday’s pair of rounds and was in third place, with 220. Bird had a 147 Tuesday for second honors. Neal's Putter Fails At the fourteenth tee on the morning round. Bird was even par and had a fine chance to overtake Stonehouse, but went over par on the fourteenth and seventeenth for a 73. Neal Mclntyre’s inconsistent putting cost him an opportunity to overtake the pace-setters, but he bagged a 73 and was four strokes behind Ralph when the afternoon play started. He had a 222. George Lance, four times state amateur champion, took the lead over the big simon-pure by getting a 78 today to bring his aggregate to 231. Wilkerson Gains Phil Talbot of I. U., Tuesday’s amateur pace-setter, went haywire on the last nine today and had an 87 for a 237. Bill Wilkinson pulled into the second amateur spot with an 82, five behind Lance, and was tied by W. L. Redmont of Peru, who had a 77 today. 18 Holes 54-Hole Today. Total. Ralph Stonehouse. Indpls 76 218 John Watson. South Bend.. 75 225 PnU Talbott.

the season, provided Louisville drops out of the association pennant race. Herman’s last official batting average was .363. The purchase of Herman tends to bear out the suspicion that Manager Rogers Hornsby will see little action next season. Hornsby’s legs have slowed him up considerably this summer and there is little doubt but that he will devote more of his time to managing the team from the bench next year. Hornsby shifted himself from second to third base several weeks ago because of his inability to cov-

er ground around the keystone sack. In recent games, Hornsby has been remaining out of the lineup as much as possible. Even though owner Wrigley keenly feels the failure of the Cubs to put up a better bid for the pennant, he is confident that Hornsby’s managerial tactics eventually will give him the world baseball championship. Although Charley Grimm, veteran first baseman, is having one of the best seasons of his career, the Cubs are after a young first baseman.

Scores were 4-6, 6-4, 6-0, Mangin is the No. 6 player in the national rankings. Two other major upsets were turned in Tuesday when Keith Gledhill thumped Wilmer Allison, 6-4, 10-8, and Wilbur Coen Jr. ousted John Van Ryn, 6-4, 6-3. George Lott, Ellsworth Vines, Berkeley Bell and Clifford Sutter were other quarter-finalists. JOHNSTON ENTERS PLAY By United Press ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 5. Despite doctor’s orders to forget about golf, Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston, former national amateur”’ champion and entry in this year’s competition at Beverly Hills, Chicago, said today he will seek the title he lost to Bobby Jones. Johnston said he would rest for several weeks and go to Chicago a week before the tournament in September for a final conditioning of his play. ARMOUR GAINS TIE By Times Special GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 5. —Tommy Armour, British open and United States professional champion, and Charles Kocsis of Detroit, 18-year-old amateur sensation, battled over eighteen holes today for the Michigan open golf crown. They tied at 288 after the regular seventy-two holes of play Tuesday when Armour sank a forty-five foot putt on the eighteenth green for an eagle 3 and a 69 for the last round.

Ted Gullic. Milwaukee left fielder, up from Wichita Tails and formerly of the St. Louis Browns, was a stranger to the Indians and poled two homers, the one in the second tilt coming with two on base. Koenecke robbed him of a circuit clout in the third inning of the first game bv making a one-handed catch against the left field fence. A drive through the box bv Gullic in the eighth inning of the first battle bruised R. Miller's left hand and forced the Tribe hurler out <sf. action. It was a sizzling drive and Gullic got two cushions. In addition to being helped by poor Tribe pitching. Tonv Polli was more or less lucky on the Brewer mound in the opener. The box score shows he gave up only eight hits, but there were numerous drives that were well hit and it took some fancy stops and recoveries to keep the Indians off of the paths. Goldman. McCann. High. Fitzgerald R. Miller and Narlesky were victims on drives on which the horseshoes favored Polli. Walter Christensen, the comedian with the Brewers, who broke a leg several weeks ago. donned a uniform Tuesday for the first time since the accident. He will act as pinch hitter until the damaged pin grows stronger. Christie said nev/spapers missed a lot of sales when they failed to “extra” when the Cincy Reds finally scored Tuesday after being blanked for forty-five innings. He is a former Red.

It was announced no cash changed hands, but most fans will figure the Tribesmen got an edge in the exchange of third basemen, the pitcher exchange looking even on 1931 performances. Yoter and Campbell are expected to join the Hoosiers tonight. The four players involved all saw service Tuesday, and for that reason announcement of the deal was held up until evening. Indians in Uprising In the bargain attraction with the Brewers at Washington park Tuesday aftemon Frank O’Rourke, new pilot of the Milwaukee pastimers, got away to a flying start when his team trounced the Indians in the curtain tilt, 9 to 3, and he was well on the way to victory in the closing game when an Indian uprising took place and at the conclusion of hostilities the Tribesmen were out in front, 9 to 8. Johnny Riddle put the home nine back in the contest by clouting a circuit drive in the eighth with two mates aboard, bringing the count to 8 and 8, and in the ninth Frank Sigafoos batted in the winning run. Sigafoos was the miracle man of the struggle with four hits in five efforts, including two triples. The second sacker batted in four of the nine markers and also accepted ten chances without a slip in the field. Fifteenth for Polli Stiely and Nelson operated on the Brewer mound in the windup fracas and Hall and Smith were employed by the Indians. In the first encounter Burwell, R. Miller and Cvengros pitched for the home team and Tony Polli went the full route for Milwaukee. It was Polli’s fifteenth win of the season Burwell tried his hand after an illness of ten days and was too weak and underweight to bear up under the work. He was relieved in the second stanza, but the Brewers obtained a good lead while he was in there and remained out in front by a wide margin.
