yet. He'd better be careful or the Brooklyn Dodgers will grab him.

RED RUFFING, right-handed pitching ace of the New York Yankees, basking in the glory of becoming the first major league hurler to turn in 20 victories this season, attributes a newly developed side-arm delivery for his ability to gain new pitching honors at the age of 34 and with 13 years of major league pitching to his eredit. Red began experimenting with a side-arm delivery late last season and this season he has been resorting to that form of twirling more and more, with the result he experiences less wear and tear on his arm. “Naturally, my fast ball is not as speedy as it was my years, say in 1932, when I led the league with 190.” declared the big righthander the “But it’s still speedy enough to cross up a and then.” 5 & IG Red has never led the American League, let alone the majors, in number of victories. But on two occasions he has topped the loop in defeats, in 1928 and 1929 with the Red Sox, when he lost 25 and 22 games,

players and one nine-goaler appear to have the inside track for posts on the international squad. A committee named by the U. S. Polo Association is watching the Open Championship and also will study the players in action in the Monty Waterbury Handicap tournament which follows and select a squad of from eight to 12 men to groom for the international team. Three of the favored players are members of the defending champions, Old Westbury, They are Cecil Smith and Stewart Iglehart, both 10-goalers, and Mike Phipps, rated at nine, The other is Mr. Polo himself--10-goal Tommy Hitch cock. Hitchcock led Greentree, runnersup to Old Westbury last year, to a 15-8 victory on Sunday against the Jaguars to reach the semi-final round. Greentree today meets the Ramblers for a spot in Sunday's finals, Old Westbury thrashed Aknusti, 13-7 yesterday, and meets Aurora in the semifinal tomorrow, Both Aurora and the Ramblers drew firstround byes,

Lester Willis, a southpaw, was effective for Louisville in the opener and easily outpitched Paul Epperly of the Tribe who was knocked out in the fifth frame. Good pitching by Lloyd Johnson, who relieved Epperly, was wasted because the Redskins were unable to catch up with the Colonels’ early lead. The afternoon feature was a triple play executed by the Indians in the third inning of the first game. With Willis on third and Madura on first, Sturm fanned and Madura attempted a steal of sec= ond on the third strike. He was chased in a run down and Mesner tagged him out and then whipped the ball to Fausett at third who put the ball on Willis scrambling back to the bag. It was the Tribe's second triple play this season.

PAUL DEAN RECALLED ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6 (U, P.).— The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that Paul Dean, righthanded pitcher sent to Houston of the Texas League on option, had been recalled and that he would join the Cardinals here tomorrow.

After their most disastrous day since they stormed into the lead July 12 the Pirates’ margin in the National League race yesterday dwindled to faur games. The Cubs punctured them twice, 3-0 and 4-3, before a throng of 43,000 fans, packed nine and 10 deep around the playing field. Errors by Arky Vaughan and Lee Handley gave the Cubs three unearned runs in the third inning which were enough to give Bill Lee his 17th triumph in the opener. Lee Bryant stopped the Corsairs with six hits in the nightcap. Only Reynolds’ double and Ken O'Dea’s single drove in the Cubs’ winning run in the ninth, Stanley Hack had a big day at bat with two doubles and a single in the Cubs’ 12-hit attack on Lucas and Tobin. The twin triumph left the Cubs only five games from the top, one behind the Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati roared into the thick of the scrap with a double victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3 and 4-2. Jim Weaver and Paul Derringer let the Cards down with five hits in the opener and Charlie (Red) Barrett won his second | § straight for the Reds since his re- | call from Syracuse in the nightcap. | Harry Craft's homer decided the opener.
