~ Giants Whip Dodgers, 3-0

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent ~NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Hal Schumacher’s won and lost record this Yyear—nine victories, eight defeats —does not rank him among the top pitchers of the National league but if there are many more moundsmen with an earned run Jocord | as § affective as his has been ‘ ere recently there wouldn't be a 300 hitter in the circuit. The 3l-year-old ‘righthander has been with the Giants more © than 11 years now and, like Carl Hubbell, seemed ready ‘for baseball’s boneyard this season, Now he is beginning to come through in the steady Schumacher Be that won 23 games for the Mew Yorkers in 1934. He turned in one ot his brightest jobs yesterday when the Giants whipped the Dodgers 8-0, for one of their most decisive beatings of the year. Schumacher limited Brooklyn to seven hits. Home runs figured in all the Giants’ runs. Mel Ott hit his 17th and 18th and Billy Werber, Mickey ‘Witek and Buster Maynard each connected for one circuit clout.

Allen Blasted

Johnny Allen, who was gunning for his 11th victory, was blasted in the fifth and suffered his sixth loss; allowing six of the Giants’ eight runs and three of the homers. Ott hit his 17th with one on in the fourth and Maynard duplicated in the same round. Werber walloped i his with one on in the fifth, Allen’s last round, and Witek and Oftt rapped out the. final pair off Ed Head in the seventh. No other National league games were played. ~ Youthful Bill Butland, in his sec- ~ ond start of the year, limited the A’s to four hits and the Red Sox took a 2-0 triumph.

Williams Goes Hitless

Ted Williams, who went hitless and relinquished the league batting lead to Joe Gordon, walked to start the rally and reached second on Bobby, Doerr’s hit. Tony Lupien forced Doerr and when Bill Knickerbocker dropped a throw at second in an attempt to force Lupien,|c Willjams scored, Johnny Peacock singled home Lupien. Ed Smith won his third victory against 17 defeats and the White Sox stretched their winning streak to six by beating the Tigers, 4-1. Smith held the Tigers to six hits and only lost a shutout in the eighth { when Jimmy Bloodworth [omer B Newsom registered his ninth victory pitching the Senators to a

6-3 triumph over the Yankees last

night at Washington. The Cleveland-St. Louis double‘header was postponed.

who swept a twin bill from Milwaukee last night.

Mad Scramble

Kansas City, meanwhile, was splitting a déuble-header with Toledo and now trail the Red Birds by one percentage point. Milwaukee is in third place, two and one-half games back; Minneapolis is fourth, three and one-half games behind, followed by Indianapolis, Louisville and the seventh place Mudhens who are only five and onethalf games behind the leaders. 3 Paul, in the cellar spot, is out of the running, 19 games away from the top. In the first game here last night, Gill allowed the Saints six safeties, while the Indians got to Vedie Himsl for 10. | The Tribe got off to a lead in the third, never to be headed, when Gill got two bases on Culler's wild throw, Blackburn following with a single. After McDowell forced Blatkburn at second, Gill got across with the first run. Moore fled out and McCarthy and Bestudik hit.

Bestudik Doubles

The Saints’ lone tally came in the next inning dn hits by Powell, Curtright and Drews. In the fifth, the Indians finished their scoring. Bestudik sent Moore and MeCarthy, who had singled, across the plate with a long double after one was out. English then singled to|g put the Tribe's: heavy hitter, Bestudik, home, Skelley hit into a double play and that was the end of the spree, The Hartnett boys made five errors in the twilight game, but the Saints made one in the ninth that possibly cost them the game. The first run for the Tribe came in the sixth when Schlueter singled and went to.second on Rich’s sacrifice. Blackburn beat out a slow bunt down the left infield and MecDowell’s fly to center put Schlueter across. The Saints tied it up in the next inning, with two out. Grant, Pasek and Lanhan singled ‘and the former went home.

Lanahan Beefs

In the eighth it looked as if Pitcher Lanahan had gotten himself out of trouble after Schlueter singled and Rich’s sacrifice on a fielder’s choice put him on second. Blackburn bunted to fill the bases, but McDowell's fly to right wasn’t long enough for a score. Seeds fouled out to the catcher.

In the ninth, the Saints tied it up and then lost-the game. Drews. singled, a walk followed and an error by Skelley put the Saints’ run across. In the Tribe’s half of the inning, English singled and Skelley sacrificed. Schlueter was walked intentionally to fill the bases, after which Drews miscued on a grounder off Rich’s bat. called for a squeeze play which

Umpire Wiethe was late, and both teams agreed on Chief Hogsett, Indian pitcher, and Herring to officiate on the bases. Wiethe arrived in the second inning to start work. In the sixth inning, Herring ran for Powell.

it rarely did in.the days of Nero,

Unquestionably, the crowd of more than 12,000, including 9468 cash customers, must have sensed the drama that was unfolding before its eyes there in the ring light in Madison Sduare Garden, as young Alie Stolz grinned in the 10th round and refrained from giving the coupe de grace to Chalky Wright, an elderly, helpless Negro who tottered about the ring on rubber legs.

Stolz Forgot Money Angle

They were fighting for a shot at the lightweight crown—for a big-money title fight with Champion Sammy Angoit at the Gare den on Nov. 13— and a kayo would have meant much to the record of Stolz who almost licked Angott last May. But Stolz, a 23-year-old kid from Newark, N. J. with curly brown hair and brownish fawn eyes, forgot the money angle—forgot the harsh ring lessons .he had in his previous heart-breaking years—as he saw the helpless old Negro swaying before him. This Negro was Chalky Wright, recognized in New York and affiliated states as featherweight champion of the world—Wright who had promised to belt out young Stolz, the No. 1 lightweight contender, and thus remove the major obstacle preventing his shift from the featherweight throne to the lightweight pedestal. Wright was out to kayo young Stolz and he tried manfully in the early rounds to turn the trick with his explosive short “punches to body and head. Wright in Pitiful Shape

But the ancient Los ‘Angeles Negro, whose age has been estimated variously from 30 to 40, had no chance after the fifth round. Young Allie’s weight superiority of 132% to 128 pounds, and his youth and zing began fo tell in the sixth round, when a hooking attack had Chalky staggering at the bell. Wright, who had won only the fifth round, clinching it on a Stolz foul, and who had lost the third and fourth rounds on low-blow fouls, was in pitiful shape in the 10th round—bleeding from a gashed nose and gashed left brow. Then ptolz hit him with a crashing right hock to the chin. Wright's ancient knees buckled and he almost went down. Two more hooks followed to the same spot and Chalky was ready for the canvas. Then Stolz grinned-showing his bluish-white mouthpiece to the crowd—and he stepped in; but he didn’t pole-axe the helpless Negro. Instead, his arms encircled Chalky and he whispered in his ear: “How do you feel?” : “rll Carry You” “Okay,” replied chalky from groggyland., + “Good!” said ry, Ill carry round.” Sa The round had about two minutes to go, and Stolz carried Wright, now holding up his stag-

“As for Negro players—one, two,

three or more—playing on any major league team,” Satchel said, “well, that creates a problem no amount of argument could clear up, I doubt that big league clubs could take Negro players South to train. .Then, there’s the hotel problem. Negroes would not be permitted to stay at the same hotel as their teammates, and that would cause friction.” Paige said He“wasn’t interested in a big league contract himself, since
