United I ress Staft Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 21—There was some evidence today to indicate that the ‘World’s Champion Cincinnati Reds, who cavorted like something out. of .a circus sideshow during the first month of the season,

finally have unwound themselves.

+ Scoring six runs in the ninth inning, the Reds overcame a threerun deficit yesterday to trim the Boston Braves, 9-6. It was the Reds’

third straight win, and gave them undisputed ession of fifth place. In their last ee games, the Reds have made : 20. runs, or exactly the number . they made in nine games previous to their current streak. They've started to hit, which was the main thing wrong with them. They made 10 hits yesterday, 14 Monday and 11 Sunday. In their first 25 games they averaged less than seven Frank McCormick hits per game. Big Frank McCormick’s homer with two out and two mates on in ‘the ninth was the crowning blow of the Reds’ six-run rally. It was MecCormick’s seventh homer, but- his first with anybody on base. Ernie Koy, recently bought from the Cards, slugged a homer and double, driving in four runs. The Dodgers’ nosedive continued with their fourth straight loss, a 9-1 shellacking by the Chicago Cubs. In their last four games Dodger pitchers have allowed the opposition 33 runs while Brooklyn has . scored only eight. . . . Pittsburgh moved into sixth place by beating the Giants, 7-5. . . . The amazing Phillies spotted the league-leading .Cardinals four runs and then came on to beat them, 6-4, in 11 innings. . Cleveland dropped its third straight at the Athletics, 6-5, and the Indians’ American League melted to two games over the White Sox who trimmed Washington, 52. . . Aided by six St. Louis errors the Yankees staggered to a 10-9 victory over the Browns .and reached the .500 mark again. . . . Rookie Earl Johnson's four-hitter paced the Red Sox to a 4-2 win over the Tigers, snapping Boston's five-game losing streak.

Championship Battle NEW YORK, May 21 (U. P.).— Undisputed recognition as lightweight champion of the world will g06 to the winner of a 15-round bout between Lew Jenkins of Texas and Sammy Angott of Louisville, Ky., on Sept. 5 at Madison Square Garden.

Michigan Seeks Big Ten Title

Times Special CHICAGO, Ill, May 21. —Michigan begins its stretch drive for the Big Ten baseball title this week, pressed by Iowa, a full game behind. Both the Wolverines and Iowa have four games to play while Illinois, a half-game behind the leaders in second place, has completed its season. Michigan with six wins and two losses, needs an even break in its remaining games to hold an edge ‘on the Illini, who won seven and lost four, the only cancellation in the Conference schedule hitting them for one game with Wisconsin early in the season. Michigan this week meets Purdue in two games at Lafayette as Wisconsin goes to Northwestern for two games Friday and Saturday, and the Wolverines conclude their schedule May 29 and 30 at Northwestern. Indiana, with Illinois; has concluded its schedule, but the Conference title may not be decided until as late as June 7, when Iowa winds up its season. Other games remaining on the Conference schedule are Wisconsin at Iowa and Chicago at Minnesota May 30 and 31, and the Towa-Ohio- State series at Columbus June 6 and 7. Conference batting averages were jolted in last week’s games, although fifth-place Wisconsin held. to its team lead with .329 points, the only team over the .300 mark. Wisconsin’s Bob Smith, however, fell from his tie for first with George Harms of Michigan in individual hitting as another Wolverine, Dick Wakefield, moved into second place behind Harms, whose average fell 63 points to 437. : As Illinois and Indiana wound up their seasons last week Capt. Alan Grant of the Illini and Don Dunker of Indiana marked up their fifth

Joe Ms :k was up with the bases loaded a: d he hit one on the line from g fi ll swing. Pitcher Marcum was in lis “follow through” after delivering the pitch and he lifted his glove-har d to protect his face. And that was the story. The sizzling line driv , headed for center field, landed “¢ nack” into Marcum’s glove and he ¢asily tossed to first for a two-ply | illing.

B eaks Against Mack

Manag r Taylor commented: “Perhaps I I ave seen balls met harder that stru k the pitcher and bounced away, bu in my book that was the hardest irive to be caught by a pitcher.” Mack iso was the victim of an unusual lay in the ninth. He led off and s cashed one off First Sacker. Stevens’ zlove. But Second Sacker Sig Grys :a was on the way to back up the ;lay and the ball was deflected ii to his glove.
