“HE American Association may boast better first base"men than LeRoy Anton and St. Paul has more powerful. hitters, but none has come so far up from the depths of despair to make good in so large a way. ... As successor to the graceful and popular Phil Todt, Anton had two strikes on him when he joined the Apostles. « + . Fans ‘take their baseball seriously in St. Paul and Todt’s friends were many and loyal.
Anton was a marked man as he tried to fill the shoes. of as sure a fielder as the Association has known. . + « His batting, which had averaged around .310 for five seasons ‘in the Pacific Coast League and Southern Association, slumped many points. o, It was a deeply discouraged Anton who left with - the Saints on May 31 for the East after a miserable home appearance. i 8 s #® 2 2 2 FINALLY, in desperation, Anton went to Manager Babe Ganzel in Columbus and asked for permission to wear glasses. . . . Because the Saints were within 24 hours of closing a deal for another first baseman and he wanted to give him one last chance, Ganzel consented.
The result was miraculous. . . . Anton was a changed ball player the next night as he reported wearing a pair’ of steel rimmed spectacles. . . . No longer was he swinging at bad balls or failing to get his bat around on high hard ones. . . . He handled ground balls he gave no indication of having seen before.
St. Paul canceled the order for another first baseman as Anton hit timely blows, singles to home runs, in the clutch to swell the Apostles’ 11-game winning streak.
# ” 2 . 8 8 2
UT not until the Saints returned home was the real story of Anton’s comeback revealed in all its strangeness. . . . The glasses the first baseman wore on the road, it developed, were a pair he has had for some years for reading purposes. . . . Realizing the prejudice against four-eyed ball players, he kept them a secret. : When an occulist examined Anton back in St. Paul, it was discovered that even with his glasses he had only two-thirds normal vision in one eye and one-third in the other. ... Without them he could read the big “E” on the chart, no more. Now Anton has the finest pair of shatterproof, scientifically ground lenses the team could buy, correcting his vision in every detail. . . Te He is 28 years old and playing his seventh year in baseball. | #8 8 ” : ” ® # JOE GORDON has been informed that he has qualified to have his name put in baseball’s book of records. . . . Gordon tied the major league mark for second basemen participating in the most double plays in a single game. . . . The young New York Yankee did this in the first game of the Ruppert Rifles’ recent series in St. Louis, when he took part in five two-ply Killings. : Earlier in the season, the Oregonian just missed another fielding record for second basemen, when he accepted 15 chances in the first nine innings of a game that lasted 13 innings. He missed tying the regord for nine innings by only one chance. In the overtime game against Washington,-he handled 18 chances without an error. . . . He seems to have launched a big league career which will see him hang up other marks.

Logan May Pitch One Tussle Here Tonight; Schalkmen Hit for Distance.
The Indianapolis Indians and Toledo Mud Hens begin an eightgame stretch of battles when. they collide in a double-header at Perry Stadium tonight. ; Five tilts are to be played here in three days and three in two at Toledo starting Saturday. . Officials of the two clubs decided to move next Monday's game back in the schedule on a September date. Lefty Bob Logan probably will take the Tribe mound in one of icnight's struggles after coming back to the Redskins from the Chicago
| cubs in the deal for Vance Page.
It will be ladies’ night at the Tribe park and action in the opener is set at 7:30 o'clock. Laying down a barrage of 11 hits, including seven for extra bases, the Schalkmen made it two in a row over Louisville last night, 7 to 2, as Jack Tising kept 10 safeties fairly well scattered and shut out the Colonels in seven of the nine rounds.
Triples and Doubles
Fausett, Pilney and Baker belted triples for the Indians and Sturm walloped one for the visitors. In the two-base hit department Latshaw, Pofahl, Baker and Galatzer “scored” for the Tribesters and Owens and Madura for Louisville. The Redskins got going in the third stanza when they tallied three runs on two doubles, a triple and a base on balls. They batted Lester willis out of the box in the sixth and Johnny Owens finished on the Louisville rubber. Andy Pilney paced the Tribe attack with two singles and a triple. The Redskins played errorless ball and sent the 1300 fans home in a happy frame of mind.

Cubs’ Righthander Delivers
‘2-Hit Shutout; Pirates Bow to Bees.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—Clay Bryant picked up a ball one day down in Birmingham, Ala., and a guy said to him: “You can really throw that apple.” ; Everybody thing to Bryant but he never could win ball games. Then he found the magic touch. Today he is one of the greatest right-handed pitchers’ in the National League. With Gabby Hartnett coaxing him behind the plate, Bryant pitched the sweetest game of his major league career yesterday—a two-hit shutout over the New York Giants. He not only pitched the Cubs to a 7-0 victory but he beat King Carl Hubbell. The triumph narrowed the margin between the ‘second place Giants and the third place Cubs to a game and a half, ~
Yellow Ball Experiment
Pittsburgh lost its second straight game when Johnny Lanning held the National League leaders to four hits and enabled the Boston Bees to score a 3-1 victory. Rabbit Warst-
ler’s scratch single drove in the two |
runs necessary to win the game. The Cincinnati Reds kept pace with the Cubs, who are only one game ahead of the Rhinelanders, py defeating the Phillies, 3-2. Johnny Vander Meer scored his 12th triumph although relieved by Paul Derringer in a ninth inning jam. Vander Meer gave up eight
‘hits during his stay on the mound.
Using a yellow baseball stitched with red, the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2, in the first game of a doubleheader. The fans and Dodgers thought the ball was easier to follow. The Cards didn’t like it, they lost. In the second game, using a regulation baseball, the Dodgers again won, 9-3. The twin triumph enabled the Dodgers to climb into fifth place, one percentage point ahead of the Bees. Dolf Camilli hit two homers for the Dodgers in the nightcap.
Yanks’ Lead Whittled -
The New York Yankees had their American League lead cut to a game and a half when they lost to Detroit, 4-3. The Tigers got all their runs off Lefty Gomez, including Charlie Gehringer’s home run. George Gill held the Yanks to eight hits, winning Detroit’s ninth game in 10 starts. Cleveland picked up a whole game on the Yanks by trimming the Boston Red Sox, 7-4. ‘A homer by Ken Keltner and doubles by Bruce Campbell, Bad News Hale and Jeff Heath were the deciding punches. : Washington beat the St. Louis Browns, 5-3, and the Chicago White Sox won from the Philadelphia Athletics, 8-4, in the other two American League games. Gabby Street, Browns’ manager, protested Washington's victory because of a collision between Umpire Harry Geisel and Billy Sullivan, racing for home on a close play.

Everything Doubly Peachy ‘When You Win—Hartnett
By JOE WILLIAMS . Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 3—It was easier to identify Gabby Hartnett
‘around the lobby of his hotel today. He was the man with the big smile.
There was a time when the gentleman was practically disguised when he didn’t have the big smile; but that was before he became a major league manager. a © - “You can’t help but worry a little bit,” admitted the new manager of the Chicago Cubs, “especially when you are blowing those games by one run. That’s what hurts.”
It was suggested thatthe degree

“has accomplished—in fast hi
a long high fly. I ask you if that isn’t murdering the ball?” This was interpreted. to be slightly sarcastic.
Has Aching Wrist
.Presently it came out only oné of the Cubs, Stanley Hack, is hitting over .300. Most of the others aren't hitting much more than the hay. Mr. Hartnett himself, who is usually around .350 at this time of the year, isn’t exactly a fire snorting menace, to enemy pitchers. An aching wrist is part of the answer. Someone mentioned the Brooklyns and the Cardinals were going to. experiment with the new yellow ball. It is supposed to generate greater visibility and is therefore easier to hit. (And in the light of what happened yesterday the Brooklyns should use the yellow ball all the time.) = rar Mr. Hartnett was then on his way to the Polo Grounds to open a series with the Giants. . . . “They could put neon lights on the ball and it wouldn’t do -us much good the way we are swinging,” he grumbled, almost sneered. ey must have done just that because a few hours later the Cubs had ganged up on the brilliant but overworked Carl Hubbell and driven him to the showers in the course of winning a 7-to-0 game. Two Dependables This 7-0 win brought the aforesaid smile of Mae Westian dimen-
sions back to the Hartnett map and.
he looked more natural. . . . “It sure is swell to win ’em like that. No
worry. Just sit'back and master
mind. Makes you feel like managing is a cinch, at that.” One Henry Clairborne Bryant, of Lynchburg, Va., had pitched a two hitter for Mr. Hartnett and he was duly appreciative. “When you can get pitching like that the skies are bright, blue birds sing and everything is doubly peachy,” smiled the ponderous pride of Woonsocket, R.
The Cubs haven't been getting pitching like that every day. Bryant and Bill Lee have been their chief dependables. Tex Carleton has had a sore whip. The others have been in and out,—mostly out. And there was Dizzy Dean, what about him?
Mr. Hartnett rubbed his graying | M
dome thoughtfully, shrugged his massive shoulders, and said, “who knows?” Dean is still with the club, but strangely still. It seemed evident Mr. Hartnett felt any help he got from old Pop Off from now on would be considered just so much velvet, even though he didn’t say so.
