i’y Eddie Ash choo’he- Soars to Baseball Heights • • . Hi> Had Was Man on the Flying Trapeze
' \OKK fans saw on** of the greatest one-day pitching pxhili tions in the history of baseball yesterday. First, \ enion Gomez of the Yankees shut out the Tigers, o to ", with eight hits, and then in the second half of the twin bill Lynwood (Schoolboy) Howe of the Bengals reversed the order and blanked the Yankees. 2 to 0, with three hits. Maybe if the lioys had played a third game some chucker might have pitched a no-hitter. It was victory No. 20 for southpaw Gomez and victory No. 18 for Rowe, a righthander, who stretched his consecutive winning streak to fourteen. Says Mickey Cochrane, Tiger manager: “The Schoolboy is the greatest pitcher to come up from the minors to the American League since Lefty Grove and Gomez. He's just 22 and has the poise and confidence of a seasoned moundsman. “When Howe reported to us this spring I feared that the shoulder he injured in I would bother him, but it hasn't, lies much taster than he was last summer and he certainly could burn ’em in then. I know, because 1 batted against him.” a a a a a a ¥NCIDEN'TALLY. Mickey Cochrane was indirectly responsible lor the injury suffered by Rowe last season. Cochran*, then with the Philadelphia Athletics, dropped a bunt down th* third base line when the Maikmen were battling the Tig*r' with Rowe tossing ’em up for Detroit. The Schoolboy went over to cover th* bunt, picked up the sphere and threw hurriedly to first while r.ff balance, pulling a muscle in his shoulder and putting him on the sidelines for the rest of the 1133 season. When Cochrane took over th* management of the Tigers he cautioned Rowe about the injured wing and ordered him to nurse it along during spring training. If responded to treatment and now Rowe is famous. In the series ending •• \ ■ York, Rowe twice defeated the Yankees. holding the Ruppert Rifles to a total of seven hits in two games, winning 7to 3 and 2to 0 It was the second time this year that the Arkansas ph*nom knocked off he Yankees two times in a single sertes. a a a a a a ROWh was born at Waco. Tex.. Jan. 11, 1912, but was reared in El Dorado. Ark He stands 6 feet 4‘ 2 inches and weighs about 205. He earned the name of Schoolboy seven years ago while pitching for the Methodist church team of El Dorada against the Baptist nine. The Baptists were battinE in their half of the ninth inning, their heaviest slugger was at the plate anc a vociferous Baptist team follower shouted so all could hear: “Don’t let tl Iboy strike you out " But the village slugger was fanned by Rowe and the nickname Schoolboy instantly was attached to the 15-year-old lad who was destined to blaze a path of glory to the big leagues. Shortly after that Methodist-Baptist thriller, won by the Methodists, 4 to 3. young Rowe became an active and prominent figure in Arkansas athletirs. In high school he hung up the following records for future Arkansas bovs to shoot at: All-state football player thrpe years in succession. All-state basketball player for two years. State interscholastic golf champion. High point track man in eleven meets. Baseball pitcher and hitter extraordinary’. Best boxer at his weight in th<? community. a a a nan THIS is only the third vear for Rowe in professional baseball. He was wi*h Beaumont in 1932. his first season out. and won nineteen games and lost seven. Immediately after shutting out the Chicago White Sox in his major league debut last year Rowe wired Coach Bill Walton, his high school mentor at El Dorado: ’ Dear Coach —Beat Chicago. 3 to 0. Allowed six hits As pver. Schoolboy.” The young hurler’s father is a former cirrus trapeze performer and Schoolbov is nearly a foot taller than the “old man.” a a a a a a THERE'S an interesting batting race going on between the two catchers of the Indianapolis club, Joe Sprinz and Johnny Riddle. They have see-sawed all season and are still neck and neck starting down the stretch. Thev shar" the backstop work, earn catching every other game, but there is some warm rivalry existing from the batting standpoint. Sprinz was trailing Riddle hv many points at one period, then pulled up and grasped the ’ lead ’’ Now they are, about even. Joe was clubbing .291 today and Riddle .290 The former had collected sixty-five hits and the latter sixtythree. However. Sprinz was at bat five more times. It's a side feature and many fans are keeping close watch on the two-man "race.”

JACOBS Andrus Paired With Palfrey * in Semi-Final Opinion Divided on Chances of Queen Helen in National Play. BY STUART CAMERON I nited Pre Sport* Editor FOREST HILLS. N. Y„ Aug. 18.— It took the American players five days to get nd of the overseas threat and today the United States i contingent had their own national ■women’s tennis championships all to themselves. Little Sarah Palfrey played tallish and powerful Mrs. Dottie Andrus in the upper semi-final today while the doleful Helen Hull Jacobs, the champion who’s after her third straight title, plaved winsome Carolin Babcock in the lower one. Miss Palfrey, Brookline, Mass., ace, was a distinct favorite over her huskier and taller friendly adversary, but from the point of expert opinion the Jacobs-Babcock affair was nearly a standoff. Experts Favor Champs Best expert opinion wrote down the name of Miss Jacobs instead of her fellow-Californian, but Miss Babcock was not without her supporters, chief of whom, perhaps, was Mercer Beasley, the coach. Supporters of the youthful Connecticut divorcee, Mrs. Andrus, had powerful arguments. Their heroine has won all her matches in straight sets. In fact, she has reached the round of four with the loss of but ten games. Conversely, Sarah was forced to an extra set before putting out Freda James, one of the British stars, in yesterday's quarter-finals. Miss Jacobs, largely selected as a j probable also-ran before the tour- j nament started, and a player who looked a good husky cut below a ! champion in the first three rounds, seemed all but unbeatable yesterday while eliminating the former Cali- j fornian, Elizabeth Ryan of London. English Entries Fail There were three English players in the field when the quarter-finals were begun yesterday, and none when they were completed. Miss Palfrey was forced to an extra set to beat Freda James, 6-3, 3-6. 6-1. Miss Jacobs won over Miss Ryan, 6-0, 6-1. Miss Babcock boat the British ace, Kay Stammers, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4. In an all-American match Mrs. Andrus eliminated the Baroness Maud Levi of Minden. Nev.. 6-1, 6-4. Semi-finals in doubles also were scheduled for today. Finals are listed for Sunday and, as an added attraction for the final day’s program, Fred Perry of England, No. 1 in world rankings, will play the brilliant Roderick Menzel of Czechoslovakian in an exhibition. Since they came to America a few days ago. Perry has spent much of his time telling how weary he is of it all (tennis) and Roddie spent enough of his time in a barber's chair to get rid of a four-plus Hollywood coiffure. Tuesday Grappling Bill Is Postponed Wrestlers Shy at Chance With Zaharias. The regular weekly wrestling card of the Hercules A. C. scheduled for next Tuesday night at Sports arena was postponed today by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter. There will be no mat show next Tuesday and the next Hercules A. C. grappling program will be staged on Aug. 28. Carter had George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, the Colorado Greek, signed for next Tuesday's feature attraction, but reported that he was unable to obtain a suitable opponent for the rough westerner. Two well-known huskies turned down offers to meet Zaharias here. Carter chose to postpone next week’s card rather than send Zaharias against a mat performer whose ability was not known. He once for the all-heavyweight show j to be staged on Aug. 28. Channel Swimmer Begins Long Grind By United Prest DOVER. England. Aug. 18—E. H.

The Cream City pastimers won the series opener, 6 to 5, and it was the seventh defeat suffered by the Indians in Milwaukee this season. The Tribe has annexed only one game at the Milwaukee park during the 1934 campaign. The Redskins held the lead three times, but the strain was too much for them and they wilted when the Brewers rallied. First, the Tribe led. 1 to 0, then 4 to 1. and for the last time, 5 to 4. They grabbed the 5 to 4 advantage in the first of the ninth and then collapsed to permit the Brewers to score two markers and finish on the long end. Bolen Knocked Out Stewart Bolen was the Hoosier starting pitcher and he took the air in the fifth stanza. Hal Chamberlain relieved him and toiled the remainder of the way. The Tribe collected twele vhits to eleven for the home nine. Best hitters for the Indians were Cooney, Washington, J. Sherlock and Lee, and “tops” for the Brewers were Gullic, Marshall and Rensa. . Washington’s second double of the day and Jack Sherlock's single put the Indians out in front in the final canto, but the advantage was shortlived. Storti walked, Gullic doubled and Detore also walked, filling the bases. Storti scored the tying run on an infield out and Kubek was given an intentional pass to fill the bases. The strategy failed with Chamberlain under fire, and Susce also drew a pass, forcing the winning marker across the plate. Tribe Looses Ground Bolen walked two and Chamberlain seven. Polli went the route for the Breewers and walkd five. Bolen was hammered for nine hits in four and one-third innings. The defeat was charged to Chamberlain. The teams were to battle in another single tilt this afternoon and on Sunday a double-header will be staged to close out the series of four games. The defeat was a blow to Tribe pennant hopes. Both the league-leading Columbus Red Birds and second-place Minneapolis Millers turned in victories yesterday to pull away from the Hoosiers.
