New Yorkers Taking Giants’ Bid Seriously

Terrymen Win in 14 Innings to Equal. Chicago’s Victory Streak.

BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—New Yorkers began taking the Giants’ bid for the National League pennant seriously for the first time today after the inspired Terrymen ran their streak of consecutive victories to 15, tying the earlier season record of the Chicaga Cubs. +. Interest in the Giants ebbed to t h e vanishing point when they took their dive to fifth place after leading the circuit so auspiciously for the first few weeks, and it has taken more than a casual climb to revive it. Nothing short of their miraculous drive to the fore in the last few weeks could have breathed life into it again. But again there is talk of a “subway series” between the Yankees and the Giants, something that hasn’t occurred since 1923, The pitiful slump of the Giants in the closing chapters of the 1934 and 1935 seasons had converted New York into a decided pro-Yankee town, and their games have .outdrawn Giant contests consistently, That has all been changed. The fans are pulling for Terry and his boys for the first time this year, and it prob-

ably will mean bad business for them for seasons to come if the Giants do another fadeout.

Cubs Win Sixth

There is no doubt of the Giants’ ability. to fight it out after yester-

day’s 14-inning battle with the Pittsburgh Pirates which they won, 7 to 2. Freddie Fitzsimmons outlasted ‘Waite Hoyt, and after their 13 innings of dueling with the count Knotted 1-1, old Waite cracked and the Giants blasted him from the' mound with a six-run assault. It was the twenty-second victory out of 28 starts this month and 35 out of 40_since July 15. The Chicago "Cubs ‘won their sixth straight, slugging out an 18-to-3 .decision over the Boston Bees to remain three games behind the y Giants and climb a game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals who were blanked, 8-to-0, by the Philadelphia Philies, their sixth consecutive loss. After defeating the Cincinnati Reds, 8 to 1, in the first game of a double-header, the Brooklyn Dodgers succumbed in the nightcap, 6 to 4.

33 Runs for Yanks

© In the American, the leading Yankees put on a great slugging demonstration by beating the Detroit Tigers twice, 14 to 5, and 19 to 4. Lou Gehrig smashed homeruns Nos. 41 and 42 in the opener. Boston and St. Louis divided a pair, the Brownies winning the first, 8 to 1, then dropping the aftermath, 2.to 1. - The Chicago White Sox nosed out the Washington Senators, 6 to 5, in the only other game played. The Cleveland-Philadelphia contest. was postponed until a later date.

Yesterday's Hero—Johnny Mur-

in addition to pitching an eight-hit game against Detroit, had a perfect day at bat, collecting five singles in five trips which drove in five runs.

Jesse Would Sign Up, Retain Simon-Pure Status.

By United Press COLUMBUS, O. Aug. 29.-Jesse Owens today signed a contract whereby Marty Forkins, New York theatrical agent, will handle his affairs for an indefinite period. Owens was influenced in accepting Forkins as an agent by Bill Robinson, stage and screen star. Forkins has handled Robinson’s appearances for many years.

By United Press OLUMBUS, O., Aug. 29. — The flying feet that carried Jesse Owens to four Olympic triumphs and listed 12 world’s marks beside his name may shuffle across the screen or stageboards within the next few months without taking the coffee-colored sprint ace out of amateur track competition. Larry Snyder, the affable young Ohio State track coach, revealed today that his No. 1 protege would not automatically retire from the amateur ranks if he accepted one of the screen, stage or radio offers made following his triumphs at Berlin. “Since shortly after Jesse completed: his ‘grand slam’ at Berlin,” Snyder said, “the air has ] filled with talk of him turning professional. He had a dozen or more very attractive offers and most certainly will take one of them, but I am not positive he would relinquish his right to run as an amateur.” Snyder, who was one of the cen< tral figures in another celebration in honor of Owens here yesterday, said the preliminary drafts of the offers made the track ace did not cast him in the role of a runner and that consequently he did not believe it could be interpreted Jesse was capitalizing on his track fame. » » ” te HAT however,” Snyder stated, “is another thing that would have to be worked out. Jesse has assured me he will return to school upon the conclusion of the contract he signs and then we will submit his entire case to the faculty board of the Western Conference and permit it to determine whether he is eligible for any further intercollegiate competition.”

national amateur finals in Garden little. Brooklyn Italian lad who won

the national public links championship in 1935 with a plucky, sustained

subpar golf lasting through one whole week at the Coffin course here. He was the tgast of Indianapolis as he took off on his triumphant return to Flatbush. Well sir, last spring — at the very beginning of this season—competent golfing friends started telling Frankie he might be national champion but his swing was all wrong, just the # same. He pos~- i sessed the raw materials to make a great golfer, they said, but he hadn’t woven them together properly. Frankie, being a broad - minded young fellow, agreed, but figured it wouldn't be wise to start tampering his swing

with defense of his public links

form he had used

At the moment his match came to a close, the disappointed Latin youth knew the time had arrived to make that decision. His sincere friends still were telling him his closed stance, the typical caddy hitting position, should be replaced by a solid open stance, favored by ‘most all top-notch players of his build and weight. (Short, none too heavy — 130 pounds). Hos If you've ever attempted to tear up your wood game and start remodeling after it has carried you to a big championship—or even a blind par mug—you can .appreciate the problem Master Strafaci faced. s $2 RANK would have undertaken the task on the spot had not the qualifying round for the National Amateur been looming up within a month, and he had definite designs on that event.

The upshot of it all was that he decided to take the risk, and when the Metropslitan qualifying round turned up at Maramoneck, N. Y,, this week, Frankie was in the throes of changing his swing. When the popular, dark-haired

been | 1ad got off a good drive it really was

a jim-dandy, according to reports, and when he smacked a bad one it was definitely dubbish. However, : the confidence his suc-

| cessful tee swings gave him seemed -1 to be of a quality such as he never

had known before. When he uncorked a wild drive he recovered with such bold accuracy that when day was done Frankie was leading the entire pack of 206 would-be qualifiers. The boy-who-dared came home with cards of 69 on each of the 18-hole courses, West and East, tying the West record held by Hon. Robert Tyre Jones. » ” ” N the fifteenth tee of the West course Strafaci couldn’t get

fairway. Tall trees rose abruptly between his ball ani the narrow, slanting green, and beyond the trees a pair of treacherous traps yawned. Prank had to shoot a plenty-degree takeoff, and he did, clearing the trees and the traps to land 10 feet from the pin. Frank hooked into the heavy woods on the next hole. To break out, it was necessary to fire the ball under a lattice of low branches di-

rectly ahead, then over a tall tree

in the fairway, and make a slight fade to stop near the green. Frankie was on the green with that shot and holed out his putt for a birdie 3.

” » =

Hell work, too. / It will be interesting to note just what kind of woods game this 19-year-old comer displays in the big match play maelstrom, even though he be an early loser.
