DR. WICKS REPORTS ON GAME

B.C. Hayes, ‘Indiana U. track 1 | coach, gives the hills of Monroe

Ses wns TRIBE TACKLES SAINTS AT ST. PAU They nl Look Different at Kickoff ime

tarian Church, Indianapolis, who has been a dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan for years at old Washington Park | and Perry Stadium, journeyed to England this summer and right off the bat popped into more baseball but under a different setting. ... Anyway, he recognized it as his favorite pastime even overseas and found it to be interesting reading in the London sports pages. The Britishers are gradually learning the American baseball language, such a “deliver the goods,” “tilts,” and “skipper” for manager. . . . Utility players are listed as henches which they are, of course, but in America a “bencher,” or bench warmer, prefers the more dignified term of Bibi, » ® # 8 # THINKING his Indianapolis friends would like to know that he still is following baseball, Dr. Wicks clipped a baseball “column” from a london newspaper and it contains some pointed paragraphs on the growth and organization of the diamond sport in England. . . . The baseball

“column,” in part, follows:

“Many critics of British baseball are prone to say that we do not ‘deliver the goods’—that is, compared with the ‘real thing’ in America. This may apply to some center in the south, where

many players are comperatively new to the game, but the standard

of play in the north this season raises high hopes for the tilts against the American crack amateur players. “Consisting of seventeen players drawn from clubs in 34 States, and with Les Mann, a former American major league player in charge, the United States team is here for five matches with England at Liverpool. » 2 +2 ” ” 2

HE tour is causing the sceptical to raise their eyebrows in wonderment that such an enferprise was ever made possible. These people, of course, are not aware of the organization behind the game in England, and the financial and other support it receives from the pioneers who have never lost faith in the game taking root on this side. : “The England team selected for the Liverpool test fulfills our prophecy that Irving Ruvinsky would have the honor of representing London after his brilliant performances as catcher for the London Leaguers, De Havilland Comets. “It is good, too, to note that the Midlands have a representative, Syd Bissett, the second base. All the rest of the team hail from the north, where there is much elation over the selection as captain of G. McNeill, the immensely popular Leeds third base.

NEILL, who excelled in the great Lancashire-Yorkshire match on Bank Holiday, is the skipper of the Leeds Club, and is second in the list of successful scorers in the Lancashire-Yorkshire Major League. “It should be in favor of England that many of their players have had Canadian or American experience. Among these is Ken Robinson, a native of Kingston, Canada. “Jack Ritchie, another Canadian, is in his third season with Liverpool Giants, while Danny Wright, the hero of the LancashireYorkshire match, although now a centre-field, made a big Canadian reputation as a pitcher.

RANCOIS CADORETTE, of Halifax, is a French-Canadian of high repute in ice hockey and Snooker Ruvinsky was once the star of the Montpelier Vermont Club, Canada. “The English team for the Liverpool matches is: R. Kendrick (Oldham), pitcher; I. Ruvinsky (London), catcher; K. Robson (Oldham), first base; S. Bassett (Birmingham), second base; S. Hanna (Halifax), shortstop; G. McNeil (captain, Leeds), third base; J. Richie (Liverpool), left field; D. Wright (Halifax), centre field; F, Cadorette (Halifax), right field. Benchers—J. Strong and L. Marsh (Hull), Doc.

EFTY THORNTON LEE, White Sox southpaw, got his major league start with Cleveland and two years ago came to the Hose in a three-cornered deal. . He failed to win at Cleveland but developed into a mainstay under “Jimmy Dykes at Chicago. . . . Lee has defeated his old mates four times this year. . . . Asked how ‘he hit a winning stride, Lee said: : “Manager Dykes gave me steady work. When a team got a base hit or two or three, he didn’t yank me out of the game. He told me it was

my situation and it was up to me to work it out. That gave me confi-

ce. Then there was Luke Sewell, one of the greatest catchers ever wear that big mitt, and Muddy Ruel. Muddy Ruel taught me the eory of pitching. Steady work and Sewell and Ruel helped me gain pretty good control and when I'd pitch a game, we’d go over it and find out what I did wrong.”

All I know about Jimmy Roosevelt is that he’s the only insurance agent who hasn't called on me. . . .

Doesn't it seem that Elsa Maxwell ought to fit in somewhere in thé Brooklyn picture? ...

Final Invasion of West; Shaky Bucs Cling to Lead

. | Cubs Take Pair From Pirates

But Giants and Reds Fail to Benefit.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

quilt National League pennant race found the Pirates still in command of the situation today despite their biggest one-day nosedive of the season.

The Pirates, looking not at all like a championship outfit, blew a double-header to the Cubs yesterday, but still are not in vital danger of losing their lead. As an American League observer pointed out the Pirates seem to be the best of a bad lot and can stagger in if necessary. Cincinnati, which seemed on the verge of moving up to challenge the Pirates for the lead, received a staggering double defeat from the Cardinals, which just about ruined the Reds’ pennant hopes. Although the Giants are in second place, five games behind the Pirates, there doesn’t seem to be even a spark of the championship spirit of the past two years left in the Terrymen.

The loss of Carl Hubbell, who ‘will | plac

undergo an arm operation in Memphis today, was just about the last straw for the Giants. As for the Cubs, their twin triumph over Pittsburgh yesterday was one more victory than they had scored in the previous week’s play. Yanks Increase Lead So Pittsburgh, staggering and stumbling, careens on toward the ‘National League pennant and a World Series with the Yankees, who yesterday increased their American League lead to 11 games. The Yanks double victory over the Athletics, 8-4 and 8-1, further emphasized the utter hope of even a close finish in the American

League. ~The Cubs’ double victory over the Pirates, 6-4 and 6-1, enabled Chi-

.| cago to move into a third-place tie

with Cincinnati, each seven games behind the leader. Bill Lee, although he had to have relief in the ninth inning, scored his 15th victory in the opener and Tex Carleton pitched a seven-hit game to win the nightcap. Phil Cavarretta, replacing Frank Demaree in the Cubs’ outfield. starred in both games. The Cardinals trimmed the Reds, 7-6, in the 11-inning first game and repeated with a 3-0 victory in the nightcap. Relief Pitcher Joe Cascarella, threw one ball to Enos Slaughter with the bases loaded to force in the winning run in the opener. Bill. McGee iet the Reds gown with three hits in the afterpiece.

Injuries Fatal To Billy ; Winn

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 22 (U. P.) —Billy Winn, Detroit racing driver, died at Springfield Hospital yesterday from injuries received in a race Saturday. Winh'’s car bounced out of control in the sixth lap of the 100-mile feature race at the Illinois State Fair. His neck was bro-

The death of Billy Winn was widely mourned today in Indianapolis. He was a familiar and popular figure at the Speedway and had been a regular entry in the 500 for about 10 years.

BONE CHIP REMOVED FROM HUBBELL’S ARM

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 22 (U. P.) —A loose bone chip that has handicapped the pitching of Carl Hubbell was removed from the elbow of the New York Giant hurler’s left arm today. Dr. J. Spencer Speed, who performed the operation, said it should end the pain which Hubbell has suffered during games he pitched during the past two months. Dr. Speed refused to te on whether Hubbell would be able to pitch again this season.

Redskins Take Miller Series But Trail Apostles by 51, Games.

Winning two and losing one vita the Minneapolis Millers over the week-end, while the league leading Saints were taking the 1% doading end at Louisville in two out of three starts, the Indianapolis Indians departed for St. Paul early today five and a haif games off the pennant pace. The Redskins begin their fourth and last invasion of the West at Lexington Park under the lights tonight. They play a three-game series in the home of the Apostles, The Schalkmen will be away from Perry Stadium until Aug. 31, when they return to tackle the Columbus Red Birds. The Hoosiers have 29 games remaining on their schedule before the season closes on Sept. 11, The first four finishers will ene gage in the American Association’s annual post-season playoff and six of the eight members are contende

ers. Blues Rained Out The Indians passed up a chance to oust Kansas City from second e yesterday when they split a double-header with the Millers, but the Blues also were dealt a cruel blow when they were rained out of a double-header at Columbus. The Blues have defeated the Birds 16 times in 17 clashes and were fige uring on taking two more and move closer to the Saints. After defeating the Millers, 4 td 2, Saturday night, behind Lloyd Johnson’s fancy pitching, the Ine dians again took the Bushmen for a ride in the first half of yesterday's twin bill, 4 to 3. Bob Logan re= lieved Don French with one out, one run in and runners on third and first. Lefty caused Roy Pfleger ta ground into-a double play and then gave up only six hits and two runs the rest of the game. He struck out eight and worked in a. fashion to convince a crowd of 4000 that he has recovered .his 1937 form. Chapman Belts Homer Pete Chapman hammered in the Tribe's four runs on a single, an out and a round trip drive over the

locked at 2-all when Chapman smashed one of Walter Tauscher's pitches out of the park with Milton Galatzer on base. Logan was in hot water in the ninth when the Millers solved him for three hits and one run after two down, but kept his head and Worked out of the jam. The five-inning second game was annexed by the Bushmen, 4 to 2, and the first of the fifth produced a riotous scene, what with cushions and pop bottles showering the field. The Millers won the battle in this frame by scoring two markers, but the fans thought the visitors were helped in the rally by a decision at first base. Umpire Paul Genshlea called Stanley Spence safe when it seemed a throw by Buddy Lewis beat the runner. The Indians stormed the premises over the decision and the cushions and bottles came down. Bottles were strewn in right field and down the foul line while the Indians took their last turn at bat,
