It’s that type of club which every once in so often touches off a blast which serves to restore their confidence.

when a real slump threatens.

} To the majority of fans McCarthy has one of the softest jobs in baseball. .". . Actually, such is not the case. ~~ Expert Meany dwells on this topic and says, in part, ~ “Any one of the big league managers is a hero if he wins the pennant—McCarthy is a bum if he doesn’t. Joe is ex-

- Mize Once Marked a Discard REVEwiNG Johnny Mize’s great performance at bat for the last three years, it's hard to realize that in 1934 and 1935 he played in less than 70 games and was supposed to be a permanent discard ecause of a torn muscle in his thigh. It took 10 days in a hospital after an operation to send him forth permanently cured and all set for a career as St. Louis Cardinals’ first baseman and one of the

greatest hitters in the National League. Charlie Root, 40-year-old Chicago Cubs’ pitcher, plays billiards

left-handed, though ever since breaking in with Terre Haut ; e in the Three-I League in 1921 he has done all his pitching right-handed. Incidentally, before some of this year’s National Leaguers ever

touched a baseball, Charlie was in the No-Hit Hall of Fame there his second year in a Terre Haute uniform, 1922. ,

Two Games Carded In City Tourney

Two quarterfinal round games are on tomorrow night’s schedule in the city tournament of the Softball Association of America at, Belmont Stadium.

The De Golyer Printers-Douglas Theater game, scheduled at 9 o’clock, should prove the feature attraction of the evening. The teams have turned in classy all-round performances to advance through a tough schedule end both are well fortified in the pitching department. The De Golyers proved the surprise team of the ‘event when they eliminated Pepsi-Cola Boosters, pretourney favorites. The Douglas team has defeated some of the. city’s strongest during the season’s league

1lschedules and has had little diffi-/

culty in wading through opposition in tourney play. Banner-Whitehill plays Ermet Manufacturing in another tournament game at 8 o'clock. The two teams are not rated as strong as De Golyers or Douglas, but the fact they still remain in the tournament proves that either may prove a dark horse. Two hits and a fielders’ choice in the seventh gave Real Silk, a 3-2 victory over VanCamp in last night’s play.

Higbe Newest Ex-Cub to Star

Limits Giants to Two Hits - For 2-1 Victory.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY .. United Press Staff Correspondent “NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Noted for making ill-advised deals, the Chicagd Cubs won't have to wait long to see their latest major league transaction made them the champion suckers of the trading league; Kirby Higbe will see to that. The Cubs sacrificed Higbe: on the last day of May along with Joe Marty and cash to get pitcher Claude Passeau from the Phillies. Doc Prothro of the Phillies wouldn't swap Higbe back to the Cubs now even up for Passeau. The Cubs got Passeau to help them win the pennant. Higbe was supposed to be too green to be entrusted with serious labor. But right now Higbe is on" the border of stardom. oR Stingy With Hits He proved it yesterday when he pitched the Phillies to a 2-1 victory

permitting only two hits. . Off that performance Higbe is likely to develop into one of the National League's finest pitchers next season. He has everything but control and he’s rapidly gaining ‘that. - He walked six men yesterday, and that ost him a shutout. He opened the seventh with two walks. Tom Hafey sacrificed, and then one.of the men he walked scored on a force out. Only two men reached third on him, one of them scoring. . Le Bill Lee scored victory No. 14 when he pitched the Cubs to a 3-2 victory over the Pirates. He allowed only six hits. The Cub youngsters, Bill Nicholson from Chattan-

‘ooga, and Bobby Mattick from Mil-

waukee, each drove in a run. : : One Big Inning The: Yanks had one big inning,

scoring - six runs, to top the Ath-

letics, 8-5, and add a half game to their American League lead, bringing it up to six games. Charley Keller and Joe DiMaggio led the Yanks’ 13-hit attack with three hits each. Left Gomez failed to last but was credited with the" victory, his ninth. ‘Frank Hayes hit a homer with two on for the A’s. a “Buck Newsom's single in.. the ninth enabled the talkative Tiger pitcher to win his own game over the Browns, his former club, 4-3, Newsom gave up eight hits in outpitching Bob Harris, former Tiger.

Carried off the field, Richardson was propped up in the clubhouse until after the game closed and later was removed to a hospital for an X-ray examination. There was no evidence of a fracture but the injury is of such a nature that it will be at least two weeks. before Nolen will be able to work out. Lindsay Brown took over the shortstop post . and will hold it down during Richardson's absence. Dee Moore’s double and Lang’s single in the second stanza accounted for the Tribe's first run, and in the sixth Lang made it two more and added the fourth in the eighth. + The Redskins collected 11 hits off Red Phillips, the former Tribe hurler who has jinxed them this year.
