THE PURCHASE of Zeke Bonura from Washington by the Chicago Cubs should relieve the situation at first base, where Hank Leiber, outfielder, has been filling in. «+ + « Bananas Bonura, a former Indianapolis plaver, has been with the White Sox, New York Giants and Washington for two stretches. The Cubs acquired Zeke in a straight cash deal after all American League clubs had waived on him. . .. He's a little slow out there in the field, but is still a threat at the plate, as well as a chatterbox in action For years the Chicago Cubs have required three sleepers for long Jumps. . . . They are getting by with two nowadays, what with their numbers cut down by sickness, injuries and economies. . . . Only 21 players are on the active list. . . . The Cubs’ train is now known as the Economy Express. Three high-priced mound rookies failed to make the grade with the Boston Red Sox this year and are back in the minors. . . . They are Bill Butland, Mickey Harris and Woody Rich.

Young Is Pirates’ Trouble Shooter
FLOYD YOUNG seemed headed for a bench-warming season when rookie Frank Gustine took the Pittsburgh Pirate second-base job from him in the spring. . . . But Young replaced Gustine for a spell when the latter erred too often Then Flovd stood a watch for Shortstop Arky Vaughan, and now he's standing in at third for Jeep Handley. Errors have been one of the Pirate handicaps. and Manager Frisch uses Young as a trouble-shooter to replace an infielder who grows too many thumbs. z

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 23.—After a interlude while eatching their respective breaths en route from East to West and vice-versa,
the major league clubs resumed ac-

In the National League it's definitely a two-horse race between the Reds and Dodgers. The next two (weeks may decide whether it'll be a | gne-horse race with the Reds taking down the big money and leaving | the small change for the others or a typical ding-dong National League affair. With a five-game lead, Cincinnati is in an enviable position unless they crack up on their present Eastern junket. The first two davs will be highly important ones. They tangle with the Dodgers in a double-header today. with a single game carded Wednesday night. After those games the two leaders will have only four games left between them. The men
