The triumph enabled the Cubs to move within a game and a half of

The Pirates succumbed to the

Sports World Joins in Toast to the Corrigans

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—It was high time one of the Corrigans was

doing something for that proud old Celtic name.

You read about the

Greenbergs, the Guldahls, the Budges, the Armstrongs, even-the McCarthys, but your eyes search the headlines in vain for the Corrigans.

Or did up to a few weeks ago.

Was there ever a champion fighter named Corriga)$? Faith and there wasn’t. Indéed, I can’t recall a Corrigan who was even a good fighter. Was there ever a Corrigan who led the hitters or the pitchers in the big leagues? The answer is a dismal no. Once again memory struggles futilely to catch the name of a single Corrigan who was ever conspicuous in the big leagues. There was a time when the Irish along with the Scots dominated golf in this country as well as in others. But did you ever hear of a Corriban winning anybody's Open championship? You didn’t, and more’s the pity. Football is a sport that should appeal to all the traditional truculence of the Corrigans, and ygt— well, I have just finished scanning the All-America selections dating back to the first team Walter Camp picked, and what do I find? I find the Murphys, the Kilpatricks and the Kelleys, but not a single Corrigan, and may the blessed saints save us. This black, desolate voldiiess persists in all the other sports, too. No Corrigan ever got the checkered flag at the 500-mile automobile race in Indianapolis; no Corrigan ever won a major event in the Olympics, no Corrigan ever brought a winner home in the Kentucky Derby, and no Corrigan ever fought for the Davis Cup. Sure, and it’s a good thing this young Douglas Corrigan didn’t know where he was going, now wasn’t it? At the very least it's a new approach to fame for the tribe, so let's join all the unheadlined Corrigans in a gay toast fo the sportsman of the sky.

tion last night brought Whitlow Wyatt of Milwaukee his 17th victory of the year, a 4-t0-2 decision over the Minneapolis’ Millers ‘at Milwaukee. Wyatt was in his usual

good form, allowing only one hit

after a bad first inning in which the Millers made three safe blows and

scored both of their runs. He struck |:

Ollie Bejma, Saint second baseman, provided the winning margin in the second contest when he hit a home run with a mate on base.
