By Joe 'Williams mum Lots of Noise in Bronx m w m MTarthymen Facing Tiger mum Other Hunters Fare Badly

YORK, Aug. 11.—Don't !>e alarmed by that ferocious roar up in the Bronx, for it isn’t an uprising of the taxpayers. It simply means that the Tiger hunt staged by Marse Joe McCarthy reached its climax today at Yankee Stadium. For upward of a month Hunter Joe and his Aankee beaters have been pursuing this man eater (habitat Detroitibus). Now that they’ve finally arranged a meeting with the beast, the situation may rapidly l*ecome embarrassing. Other big-game hunters of the American league have been savagely clawed recently by the big striped cat. In fact, the latest results show the score to l>e Tiger, 12; Hunters, 0. When Hunter Joe and the Bronx beaters started on the Tiger s trail the v were practically breathing down the neck of the beast, but the jungle cat made much better headway through the American League veldt than did the be iters And now. meeting the Tiger face to face, the Yankee hunters could stand a little help. Lefty Gomez, Red Ruffing. Lou Gehrig and the other hunters may need a little assistance from Cijde Beatty or Frank Buck. • * a nun H AVING lured the beast into their own back yard, with the help of the American League schedule, the hunters are now faced by a condition in tead of a theory, to coin a phrase. For weeks the Yankees have bern looking upon the Tiger conquests with amused and cynical contempt. . , , They just can t keep it up." was the trend of the Yankee remarks as they received word of one Detroit rally after another. It to us that we heard that remark last year in reference to the Giants and their march to the pennant. And, if memory serves, the Giants managed to “keep it up ” m m • ana F'OUR and a half games behind as the series opens, the Yankees must take their stand or turn in their chips on this deal. It will take a sweep to put the Yankees in first place, but hoping for a sweep is like ordering a clasp for the pearls you expect to find in a plate of oysters. The opportunity thi ’• nkres, however, is that of delivering a body blow to the Tigers, rehabilitating of their own confidence and knocking down the self-esteem of Detroit. By now the Yankees realize that the Tigers are no setups. Mickey Cochrane has his boys hustling and keeps pulling those pitchers out of the hat like Thurston with his own rabbits. The ability of comparative unknowns to win with Detroit can be traerd directly to the manager of the Tigers. Connie Mack's great pitching staff, which breezed to the American League pennants of 1929-30-31, was composed of flingers who won only when Cochrane's steadying influence was behind the plate. a a a a a a CiOCHRANE is a master at starting green pitchers off on the right foot. * Tile fact that Mickey has appeared before the footlights on various stages is .< saxophone tootrr has rather dimmed his light as a master maskman. Mike still is a great catcher in the opinion of everybody but Pepper Martin. On the current streak of the Tigers, in which Detroit swept series with Chicago and St. Louis and two series with Cleveland, four of the victories were turned in by newcomers to the Tiger staff—Eldon Auker of the Texas League. Luke Hamlin of the International, and Phillips, a pitcher who was not with the rlub last year. Auker, incidentally, pitched two shutouts in this string.

TRIBE DROPS BEHIND MILLERS AND BIRDS

Home Run by Arlett Crushes Redskins Before 12,000 Fans; Continue Hostilities Tonight • Logan Is Knocked Out of Box in Third Stanza and Bushmen Sew Up Game in Fifth; Bill Burwell to Be Honored Tomorrow. BY EDDIE ASH Tunrs Sports Editor Big Buzz Arlett of the Minneapolis Millers buzzed one out of Perry stadium last night, and after that burning blast it looked like a Michigan City prison break as the enemy runners walked around the sacks unmolested. He hit it with two on the paths in the fifth inning and the three markers put the contest beyond the reach of the Indians. The score was 7 to 4 and the struggle was reeled off before about 12,000 fans. The defeat knocked the Redskins into third place, leaving the Bushmen in sole possession of first place and boosting the Columbus Red Birds to the runner-up post. The Birds continued to gallop against the K. C. Blues at Columbus and won, 6 to 1.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1934

Oh, well, tonight will be another night and anew game. It will be the third of the series between the Millers and the Hoosiers and action will begin at 8:15. Only two games remain on the home grounds before the Tribesmen hit the western trail and it’s needless to say that the Redskins will be out there battling. They are one game back of both Millers and Red Birds, although Minneapolis holds a point advantage over the Buckeyes in the exciting pennant chase. “Burwell Night” Tomorrow The fourth and finale of the scries tomorrow' will be celebrated as “Bill Burwell night’’ as a tribute to the Indians’ veteran righthander who is serving his tw'elfth consecutive season with the Tribe. The American Legion will take part in the pre-game program and many of the war vets will turn out to give three cheers for Bill. The popular hurler has won six games and lost one and has played a big part in keeping the Indians near the top. The Indians were first to score last night when a single by Johnny Cooney was followed by a W'histling triple to left center by Harry Rosenberg. Jess Petty, the former Indian, occupied the rubber for the Millers and Lefty Bob Logan chucked ’em up for the Redskins. Turner Relieves Logan Logan retired the visitors in order in the first and second rounds, but in the third the Bushmen kissed him, out of the game. A walk to Ganzel started Logan on his way out of the picture, and before the stanza was concluded Jim Turner was hurling for the home pastimers. It was Turner’s first mound appearance since July 2 w'hen he received a broken thumb during a fistic encounter with catcher George Rensa of Milwaukee. The Millers registered four runs during their third-inning rally on a walk, three singles, a double, sacrifice and error. In the fifth Turner weakened and walked Harris as first up. Hargrave singled and Mr. Buzz Arlett then proceeded to comb the sphere over the garden wall. Phil Weinert took up the Tribe mound toil for the Indians in the sixth and stopped the Minneapolis attack, but it was too late. The lead stacked up by the Bushmen w'as too great to overcome. Final Tribe Run A single by Rosenberg, a double by Washington and single by Bedore accounted for two Tribe tallies, and in the eighth Washington doubled and scored w'hen Cohen made a diving stop of Bedore’s single and then threw' low' to first. It ended the scoring for the evening. Jess Petty was removed after six innings and Walter Tauscher finished out the contest on the Miller mound. Petty received credit for the victory and the defeat was charged to Logan. The Millers strengthened their infield defense by switching Spencer Harris from center field to first base. Homer Peel, new outfielder obtained from Nashville, protected the middle ga'fden for Manager Bush. Peel formerly was with the New York Giants and previous to that performed with the St. Louis Cardinals and Philly Nationals. Peel reached Indianapolis from Nashville late yesterday.

Sun Beau, 9-Year-Old Ace, May Return to Race Wars Turf’s Biggest Money Winner to Run at Los Angeles Track If Equipoise Is Entered.

BY lIARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor SARATOGA SPRINGS, Ayg. 14. —They say Willis Sharpe Kilmer means it when he says that the 9-year-old Sun Beau will return to the races in the event that Equipoise is entered in the Santa Anita Handicap on the new Los Angeles Turf Club's track on Feb. 23. Kilmer realizes the stud value of Sun Beau being the world’s biggest money winner, particularly with his first offspring making their bows next spring. And Equipoise is the only horse now in position to take the honor from the famous son of Sun Briar. Sun Beau exhibited remarkable soundness of limb and wind and consistency rarely found in even a top flight performer in amassing $376,744 in purses over a stretch of six years. He took down in addition, cups and trophies appraised at $64,000. The 6-year-old Equipoise has $328,770, having passed the mark

Shields, Wood in 2 Matches Today Frankie Parker Wins Over Don Budge. By United Press NEWPORT, R. 1., Aug. 14.—Topseeded Frank Shields and his Davis cup mate, Sidney Wood, will play two matches each today to catch up with the field in the annual Newport Casino tennis play. Both advanced to the third round yesterday, while most of the remainder of the field moved into the fourth bracket, filling fourteen of sixteen places. Frankie Parker, clever Spring Lake (N. Y.) youngster, stroked his way into the fourth round by two victories, the second over Don Budge of Oakland, Cal., his perrenial junior championships foe. Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex., second ranking American; Bryan Grant of Atlanta, Ga.: Berkeley Bell of New York, former Texan; Henry Prusoff, blond Seattle Giant; Wilmer Hines of Columbus, S. C„ and John Van Ryn of Philadelphia all gained the fourth round. Two collegians joined them—Jack Tidball of Los Angeles and Martin Buxby of Miami, Fla., and the University of Texas. Others who gained the fourth round were John McDiarmid, slim Ft. Worth (Tex.) school teacher; Dr. Eugene McCauliffe of New York, Gil Hall of South Orange, N. J.; Greg Mangin of Newark, N. J., and Ed Fiebleman of New York, surprise winner over Robert Bryan of Chattanooga, Tenn. HOOK LOSES DECISION NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 14.—Henry Hook, Indianapolis, lost a ten-round decision to Jimmy Perrin, New Orleans bantam, here last night. The two fighters weighed 120 pounds each.

of Gallant Fox. The dead Australian thoroughbred, Phar Lap, grossed $332,250. Sun Beau has been galloping for some time at Kilmer’s Court Manor farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The old warhorse is reported to have shed 200 pounds of fat, leaving him at a trim 1,100 pounds. Cavalcade Entered So if Equipoise goes to southern California, Sun Beau may accompany him. There they likely would battle the current 3-year-old champion, Cavalcade, and his fleet stablemate, High Quest. Participation of this quartet indeed would make the event on the site of the famous old establishment of the late Lucky Baldwin “the race of the century.” Already Cavalcade and High Quest have been committed to compete in Santa Anita Handicap, which has replaced the Agua Caliente, formerly the Coffroth, as the world’s richest stake. Norman Church plans to send Riskulus and Gallant Sir after the swag. There does not appear much chance of Equipoise engaging Cavalcade before the Santa Anita, if then. Numerous tracks have offered enticing purses for such a meeting, but the blind quarter crack in his right front foot, which cost his backers $1,000,000 in future book wagers when he had to be scratched from the Kentucky Derby of 1931, is bothering Equipoise again. The little son of Pennant is training well enough, but it is doubted that he will start in more than one more race this season. Rivals for Consistency Equipoise, an ugly duckling as’ a colt, has rivaled Sun Beau in consistency since. The grand totals of this pair came i through number of victories and not through one tremendous campaign or rich killings. Gallant Fox, got practically all his $328,770 in one phenomenal year. Man o’ War, Zev, Blue Larkspur, and Victorian cashed in as juveniles and the lattef's total was swelled by his victory in the SIOO,OOO Agua Caliente handicap of 1930.

The round-trip rate has been announced as $3.95 and will cover general and grandstand admission, according to Francis Lehman, local manager.
