The Boston Braves yesterday drubbed the Chicago Cubs for the third successive time, and while the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh tes were idle, the St. Louis ‘Cardinals were pulling up to within one game of second place. | The Cubs had a lead of only two and a half games today. Yesterday the usually reliable Cub defense’ ‘eracked at the crucial moment. Three ‘errors were committed in rapid suc- teession and were followed by a trio of clean hits. Boston came out on jtop of a 5 to 3 score. Ed _ Brown, ; Boston outfielder, set a National ‘League record when he played in his 534th successive game. Hafey’s Homer Brings Lone Score Chick Hafey’s home run in the second inning ss the only score made in the St. Louis-Philadelphia contest. Ulrich and Haines hooked up in a pitchers’ battle. It was Haines’ 20th victory of the season. He has been defeated only seven times. Giants and Brooklyn were en- joying a baseball vacation that is to last four di The Cincinnati Reds likewise were idle. Miller Huggins’ Yankees now have {a four-game losing streak behind them. The Cleveland Indians made it three in a row by trimming New York yesterday, 9 to 4. Babe Ruth slugged his 40th home run of the year and beeame one up on Gehrig, who went hitless. It was the first time this year any team had made a clean sweep of a + series against the Yanks. Tigers Add to Win List The Detroit Tigers, meanwhile, were running their winning streak to 13 games, They won both ends of a doubleheader from Washington and took a strong grip on second place. Scores were 4-2 and Gibson held the Senators to five hits in the first contest.

Ty Cobb was the hitting star with two doubles, a single and a walk in four trips to the plate. The Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Browns were idle. Several of the best pitching per- formances of the year occurred in the American Association. Saints Lose to Bucks Meeker of Columbus held St. Paul atters to two hits while his mi jcollected 10 hits off Shealy id played errorless ball to beat the Saints, 7 to 1. Shealy pitched mas- terful ball until he blew up in the seventh inning and the Senators scored seven times.

It was his first local gesture of preparation for his Soldier Field stadium en- gagement with Gene Tunney Septem- ber 22. The race course at Lincoln Fields, Dempsey said, makes one of the best training camps he has ever seen. He visited every nook and corner on the million dollar site last night in a» two mile jaunt preliminary to set- tling down for the campaign.‘ At vir- tually the same time, the tickets 'for what Tex Rickard says is the fight spectacle of the ages was started, with more than 7,000 of them Colorado's pride-the strapping, slash- ling former heavyweight champion of Jack Dempsey—boxed and pounded vigorously at unoffending t Turns to ‘Underdog’ The estimable Mr. George Herman Ruth got his 40th hore run Monday, making him one up on Lou Gehrig, who has 39. spite the clout, how- ever, the Cleveland Indidns trimmed the Yankees, 9: ‘ going into the hands of receivers dur- ing the first. few hours. Police to Watch Stadium The police began a task of their own as the fight machinery began to gtind, declaring their intentions of keeping the title bout entirely free | from “hoodlum” disorders by. pre- venting any known gangsters from obtaining tickets or entering the Soldier Ficld Stadium, scene of the conflict. As Dempsey launched his program today, he faced several rounds of shadow boxing, rope skipping and bag punching with his mentor, Leo P. Flynn, delaying . the more intensive festivities until next week. Jack said he put in 10 strenuous days of training before he left Cali- fornia and would take it easy here for the first week. He weighs 203 pounds now, Trainer Gus Wilson said, and. expects to go into the ring ‘against Tunney a month hence weigh- ing around 195.

He lost. Maloney, fresh from this impres- sive triumph, was a hot favorite to beat Sharkey who was almost knocked over by McTigue. He lost. Sharkey, improving rapidly, went into battle with youth and stamina on his side’ against the aging and ring rusty Dempsey. He lost.

On the night of Sept. 22, 1927, Jack Dempsey will crawl through the ring ropes against Gene Tunney, an outsider in the betting but a popular idol—the underdog, carrying the good wishes of thousands of fans on his bronzed shoulders, I don't know how Jack Dempsey will feel in that smail white ring in the center’ of the b'~ throng. that is sure to pack Soldiers’ Field this coming tember right.

It must have astound- ed’ the black-visaged Dempsey when he heard the roar that greeted him at the Yankee stadium. We were* sitting in his corner atthe time. He looked up, actually startled. He could hardly believe it was for him. He thought something had happened — that someone had entere: ting besides himself. S Of course part of that demonstra- tion at the stadium was a slap Sharkey. The crowd wanted to see the cocky sailor silenced. But Dempsey will get plenty of cheers instead of jeers when he pops his raven bean through the Chicago hemp. It may not be as pronounced as the demonstration for the Manly larine. After all, the intelligent and quiet ‘thinking. fan really has nothing but respect and admiration for the clean- living, close-mouthed athlete who is our present champion.
