couldn't get out of the way of the

big fellow’s feet. Which had to

be true. When Carnera was in the ring his feet filled the whole enclosure. The night Jack Sharkey stopped him in three rounds and he sat on the lower strand; swinging and mumbling, “Where

And later, his manager explaining: “You fellows didn't know it

Nonetheless, a

manly, able gent was Tommy, and we wish him many happy hours in his fields of lush, succulent scrapple.

The Indians crossed the plate last night's seven-inning opener to take a 4-1 decision while in the nightcap, Dave Odom, despite some trouble in late innings, limited the visitors to five safeties for a 6-2 decision. Kirby Farrell was the hero of the first game's second inning uprising, driving two runs across with a triple to the right field corner. He scored the third marker when Bill Heltzel followed with a single. The fourth run fourth, when Poland tripled and scored on a wild pitch. The Blues managed to get a runner across in the seventh when Chet Clemens missed a shoestring catch on Bodner's liner. The ball got past the Indian outfielder for a triple, scoring pinch-hitter Morgan, who had reached first after bunting safely in an attempt to sacrifice. The Indians got away to a onerun lead in the third inning of the second game, when Aliperto, who had bedten out an infield hit and advanced on, Odom's ascrifice, scored on Clemens’ s ingle ‘over second. Odom and English Double

The home teanf crossed the plate twice in the fifth, on a base on balls to Blackburn, and doubles by Odom and English. The Blues reached pay-dirt in the seventh, tallying once on an error by Odom and a single by Glunt. They added another in the eighth when Odom had a streak of wildness, walking Jordan and Corbett and throwing three consecutive bad deliveries to Platek. Bob Logan, who had been credited with one of the Tuesday night victories, was rushed to the mound, but his first delivery was a ball that put Platek on to fill the bases,

Phillips, who had taken the mound for the Blues, passed English and Farrell. Poland, batting for Lyon, spanked out a single to tally English and Heltzel singled to drive in Farrell. After Aliperto grounded out and Poland was trapped between third and home, attempting to score on Logan's grounder, Clemens drove in the final marker with a single to left. ,

Card Hurlers

Without Relief

NEW YORK, Aug. 24 (U. P).— The St. Louis Cardinals, who have operated without a bona fide relief pitcher all season, offered evidence today that their ~strong-armed squad of starting “hurler would have about as much use for one as their batting champion, Stan Musial, has for a pinch hitter. Their pitchers, most of them big, chesty fellows like Mort Cooper and Max Lanier, have gone 11 straight games without assistance from the bull pen and that pace more or less reflects a trend that has beeen In effect all season. In other pennant-winning years, Manager Billy Southworth had such capable relief hands as Howie Krist and Murry Dickson to take over when the starter faltered, but there was no one on the staff who was equipped to do the job on a regular basis this year. Hence Southworth alternated his - starters in the bull pen calling on practically any of them to relieve. for short stints between their regular assign ments and the system has pald dividends.

Four Hurl 55 Games

Emphasizing the staying- power of the Cardinal corps is the fact that the “big four,” Lanier, Cooper, Harry Brecheen and Ted Wilks, have pitched a total of 55 complete games out of the 116 that the ‘team has played The Cardinals have need no relief in 73 games, and in most of th: others, one pitcher going two or three innings has

{managed to settle the issue. Cooper

has pitched 18 complete games, Lanier 14, Wilks 12, and Brecheen 11. : In deference to the Cardinal batting attack, it should be emphasized that such a performance would not have been possible had the pitchers .been with any other club. Usually the margin of victory

ing pitcher is able to weather a few shaky innings late in the game. A check of the records reveals that the Cardinals have been held to a one-run margin of victory in only 15 of their 87 triumphs. In 10 games they have had a two run margin, in eight they have finished three runs in front, in 12 they have had a four run margin. They have had 10 five run .victories, two have been decided by six, two by nine, five by 10, three by 11 and one each by 12, 13, 16, and 18 runs.

Mort Wins Another

Big Mort Cooper, ably assisted by brother Walker Cooper, had it easy gaining his 18th victory, 11-1jover tthe Chicago Cubs at St. Loui§ last night. He scattered nine hits his control was sharp, walking none and striking out five. Walker Cooper hit an inside the park homer and three single for a perfect night at the plate, bringing his recent pace to 15 hits in 19 times at bat. The victory enabled the Cards to keep ahead of the all-time record pace of the Cubs of 1906, though they need 29 victories in their final 38 games to tie it. Playing at their present pace, they could clinch the pennant as early as Sept, 15—earlier if the fast traveling Pittsburgh Pirates have a relapse. The game was the only one played in the majors yesterday.
