Cub-Cardinal Brawl Swings Into Round 3
Bruins Win Second as Fans, Players, Umpire Stage Boisterotis Melee.
By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The bell sounds for round three in the CubsCardinals- “brawl” series today. For the record, the score stands at one game apiece, with the Cubs of Chicago two percentage points up on the Cardinals of St. Louis in the battle for first ptace In the National League. “Off the record,” the count is one fist fight, two players fined, three players and a coach banished, and one umpire assaulted in a throwback to baseball’s rough-and-tumble days. /.The opening game’s Dizzy Dean-Tex Carleton grudge fight for which President Ford (“they Snall not fraternize”) Frick let Jurges ne’ combatants off with fines of $25 each, paled before the hectic windup to yesterday's game which the Cubs won, 6-4, in 10 innings at St. Louis. The trouble started when a Cardinal rally was nipped by a double rlay in the ninth. The Cards said Bill Jurges, pivot man; didn’t touch - They argued so heatedly Umpire Bill Stewart ejected four of them—Shortstop Leo Durocher, Rip Collins, who had been up as a pinch hitter, Coach Buzz Wdres and Jess Haines. A St. Louis rooter leaned from a box to take a punch at Stewart and feeling ran so high the arbiter was escorted to the clubhouse by players and police. Fans milled about the clubhouse for 15 minutes but police held the fort.
New York's Giants defeated the

Rosalind ind and Reynolds Colt Race Choices
Filly Slight Favorite; Palin Drives Ed Lasater in Hambletonian.
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent GOSHEN, N. Y., Aug. 12. --Gibson White's sleek bay filly, Rosalind, was favored at 2% to 1 to-win today's eleventh Hambletonian stake from one of the most formidable fields ever assembled for this outstanding classic of the trotting world. With 10 of the nation’s crack 3-year-olds going to the post for the first mile heat on a lightning fast track this is expected to develop into one of the most thrilling and wide open harness contests ever staged. But Rosalind, outstanding 2-year-old of 1935, was still favored after considerable specuiation last night in the pool sales conducted by Stubby Eli Crutch in his big wagering tent—right next to the refreshment stand operated by women of the’ First Presbyterian Church. Rosalind was favored, but only slightly, and there was a robust possibility that she might go to. the post on an even money basis with the standard bred Ed Lasater, a bay colt owned by the tobacco magnate, W. N. Reynolds-of Winston-Saiem, N. C. The Reynolds colt, which beat Rosalind two weeks ago at Old Orchard, Me., was receiving heavy backing. Crutch announced the overnight odds on Ed Lasater as 3%-1. Fans Pour Into Town
Thousands of harness fans were pouring into this little farm town early today, adding to the crowds that arrivea yesterday and last night. Swarms of enthusiasts wandered about the main street or browsed about the rambling stables at Will, Cane’s Good Time track. It is one of the oddest aggregations of humans. that any sport event attracts—social blue “bloods, big: ‘shots: of the financial and industrial worlds, sportily garbed city devotees; a few slick con men rubbing elbows with farmers and with horsey-looking men in slouch hats and plain apparel who are the nursemaids and squires for the flock of standard ‘breds in the stables—or who are just Grand Circuit hangers-on. If Rosalind wins she will be the fifth filly to capture the rich Hambietonian, which ‘today offers total prize money of $35,643, of which $18,669 goes to the winner. Fillies have: fared far better in this trotting classic than in the Kentucky Derby,. where only one filly has won in some 60 years. Four fillies were in the field today. Despite Rosalind’s defeat by Ed Lasater at Old Orchard, she still was favored because she beat the Reynolds colt twice last year and again at Cleveland this year in the, Matron Stake. She will be driven by Veteran Ben White, father of the 21-year-old owner, Gibson White, If Rosaling- wins, it will establish a record, with Ben White driving to his second Hambletonian victory. No driver nor owner ever has captured this classic twice. White won with Mary Reynolds in 1933.
Palin Behind Ed Lasater
Ben White is in the peculiar position of driving his son’s horse against Lasater, the horse he trained down at Lexington, Ky., for Mr. Reynolds. Sep Palin, Indianapolis, who drove Greyhound to a record for the event last year, will be behind Ed Lasater. Third choice in the betting was C. B. Shaffer's Ruth M. Mac, a chestnut filly that finished second to Rosalind in the Kentucky Fu--turity last fall and won the Reading (Pa.) Futurity. She was quoted at 7% to 1. Rosalind has seventh position from the pole, Ed Lasater is No. 10, and hence is somewhat handicapped at the start. Ruth M. Mac, No. 8, also is in the second tier, as is M. B. Dodd’s Peter Song, No. 9. Next in the wagering came W. Hughes’ filly, Clova, and the Hanover Farm's colt, Brownie Hanover, 18-1, followed by J. E. Kelley's filly, Gaiety Mite, and the Lyle Brothers’ colt, Recovery, at 25-1.

Jack lost the title to Primo. Carnera, who, in turn, was uncrowned by Max Baer. And Baer wasted no time in losing it by forgetting to train for the Jim Braddock match. ®Sharkey has been more or less of an in-and-outer during a fistic career that started in 1924. The

Brubaker, who had accomplished little out of the ordinary on the coast, had the erstwhile sailor on the deck in the first round. . Much is being made of the fact that Sharkey whipped the two Black Menaces, George Godfrey and Harry Wills, within a period of three weeks in 1926. The ballyhoo bureau neglects to mention the fact that Godfrey never did get anywhere in particular, that Wills then was older than Sharkey is today, and that the feats were performed 10 years ago. :

Times Special MILWAUKEE, Aug. 12.—With the series standing even, the Indians and Brewers will square off again under the lights tonight and then return to daytime ball tomorrow to wind up the five-game program in a double-header. Lanky Joe Heving, who has been poison to the Hoosiers all season, hurled for the Brewers last night and scored a shutout. It was a cakewalk fo rthe former Indian. He allowed only four hits and did not permit a runner to get beyond second base. Frenchy Uhalt, Milwaukee outfielder, filled the star role in the Brewers’ attack by banging out two home, runs and a double. “Uhalt and Heving. Night” would have been a fitting name for the evening,
Bats in Four Runs
The local center fielder batted in four runs and scored two. He ruined Bud Tinning in the early innings and the Redskins’ pitcher never recovered. Jimmy Sharp pitched the eighth for the Tribesters, The league-leaders got only nine hits, but they made the blows count and had five runs chalked in the first four innings. In registering his 6-to-0 shutout, Heving issued only one walk and struck out four. Tinning gave up three passes and fanned five,
