NEW YORK, July 19.—There was a traffic jam on in be National League today between second |and .seventh places. With the Cincinnati Reds 7% games in front, the interest in the senior circuit for the time being is the battle for the runnerup spot. There are six clubs in it. Only the Reds and the last-place Phillies seem to be in the spots they'll

‘wind up in. ~The traffic between the midway clubs was terrific yesterday. The — Giants dropped from second to fourth. The Cubs moved from third to second. The Cardinals leaped from fifth to third. The" Dodgers dropped from third to fifth. From the Cubs in second to the Bees in seventh, the gap is only four games, and from the Cubs to the Dodgers in fifth, only a game and a half. A club may be the runperup on Saturday and wake up on Monday in sixth place. ;

Derringer’s Record Snapped

~While all this battling was going on to determine the club which would make the big challenge to stop them, the: Reds rolled on with a 12-3 victory over the Bees. Paul Derringer hung up his 12th triumph But had his consecutive inning record without allowing a walk snapped. He walked Debs Garms in the first frame, ending a run of 49% ' innings without allowing a pass. ‘The record is 68 set by Christy Mathewson in 1913. Frank McCormick led the Reds’ attack with a .. homer and two singles, driving in four tallies. The Cubs beat the Dodgers, 4-2, with Claude Passeau going the route to win after. being put out of Sunday’s game for protesting a decision. Stan Hack and Rip Russell hit homers off Luke Hamlin. The downward plunge of the Giants continued as the Cardinals knocked off the Terrymen, 5-3, for - three in a row at the Polo Grounds. Carl Hubbell, starting his first game since June 4, was tapped for nine hits ‘in seven frames, and was the loser. Terry Morre and Pepper Martin hit homers. Mickey Owen made a double play unassisted when he drove Ripple back toward third and tagged him, and then touched O’Dea coming into the bag.

Klein Hits Homer

With Syl Johnson pitching eighthit ball, the Phillies won from the Pirates, Klein, Bell and Fletcher hit] homers to account for all the losers’ uns. ji ! Atley Donald set a freshman pitching record when he hurled ‘the Yankees to a 9-0 victory over ‘the St. Louis Browns for his ‘11th straight triumph. It broke the former mark of 10 set by Harry Krause of the Athletics in 1908. The Yanks won'\the second game, 4-3, for a clean sweep, increasing their lead to eight games. The Red Sox broke even with the White Sox, winning the opener, 13-10, and dropping the nightcap, 8-5. Homers by Williams, Foxx and Auker, each with a man’ on ‘base,

won the first game. Clint Brown's fine relief pitching featured the White Sox victory. Joe Krakauskas held the Tigers to six hits as Washington thumped out a 10-2 win over Detroit. His triple with the bases loaded helped

box in the third. : Cleveland broke a five-game losing streak, defeating the Athletics, 6-3, before 9000 in a night game at Cleveland. The A’s knocked out Johnny Allen but were stopped by Joe Dobson for the last four and | two-thirds innings. 5

But Stacey didn’t take his dose of instruction last night at Sports Arena without making considerable backtalk to the old. master of Bloomington, Ind. Stacey is an assistant professor (coach) himself, or as one out-spoken fan put it when Thom was massaging his op-

ponent’s face: “Thom, you sure got a chinful there.”

Hall Gets ‘A’ on First Fall

The Ohio State mentor of the jutting-chin school of wrestlers, made quite a good recitation to start with, taking the first fall in 17 minutes with a secure body scissors. But the Bloomington professor came back for the second with a smile on his lips for downstate fans seated near the “local corner” and also a heart full of determination thumping beneath his red jersey bearing a strip of letters spelling “Indiana.” The old master, billed at 178, used his now celebrated step-over-toe hold and forced the assistant old

master, 180, to concede after 28 minutes of the second. The third fall of ‘the main bout was about the same save in two respects. It lasted but seven minutes and the old master used a leg-

NEW YORK, July 19.—Morrie Arnovich and Zeke Bonura are looking

{over their shoulders to see how close

Johnny Mize is drawing just as pitchers turn-to see how far he has smacked the sphere. National Leaguers hold that Mize: is ‘the most dangerous batter in baseball at this moment. : Certainly the Huge Georgian is the most formidable one in the elder circuit. “ ; «Paul Derringer of the Reds calls Mize the finest hitter of a good ball he has even seen or pitched to. Gabby Hartnett agrees. “Mize will take a ball that is an inch inside or outside the plate,” seys the manager of the Cubs, “and never even quiver his bat. . “He makes you come in with a pitch and when you do it’s just toc bad.” » “I was working on Mize the other night in Cincinnati,” asserts Derringer, “and believed I was doing pretty well, I kept firing high fast balls. He fouled off five in a row. He had me at a 3-and-2 count. So I came in with a curve. “I have thrown ‘some curves that wouldn’t break, but I also have
