JOIE RAY WH EN : G LOOP LEADERS FALTER; NEED NEW STRENGTH Manager Bill ‘McKechnie Says Club Is Going to Do Every- thing to Recover MUST REDUCE LIST Idle Yankees Watch Athletics Shave Another Game Off of Now Small Lead (By The Associated Press) Following the example set by the New York Yankees, their prospec- tive world’s series rivals, the St. in a slump and well ha ras Is plan to bring new ir lineup in an effort to protect the slim two and a half game lead they hold over the New York Giants in the National league. President Sam Breadon and Man- ager Bill McKechnie, announced yesterday that outstanding players on Cardinal “farms” in the minors would be recalled in an effort to check the Redbirds’ slide. “We are going to do everything in our power to check this slump,” said Manager McKechnie. “It will be tough to cut players off the list but the big thing is to protect our lead and win the pennant. Senti- ment will hav- no place in our oper- ations.” McKechnie should know all about sentiment—or lack of it—in the Major leagues. After leading the Pirates to the title in 1925 Mce- Kechnie was lot out the following year when internal dissension wrecked the Pirates’ chances of re- peating. Only one game was played in the national circuit, Remy Kremer, the Big Frenchman, pitching the Pirates to an easy 6 to 1 decision over the slipping Brooklyn Dodgers. In the American league the idle Yankees saw the Philadelphia Ath- letics shave another half game off their lead when Lefty Grove, who now mixes judgment with his fast one, beat the Tigers, 7 to 1. Lefty fanned only two men where he used to whiff a dozen but the Tigers got only two hits off the lean left-hand- er’s delivery. In the only other major league conflict of the day Ed Morris reg- istered his 15th triumph of the sea- son when he pitched the Boston Red Sox to a 6 to 2 win over the Cleve- land Indians.

FARRELL (NEA Service Sports Writer) When the legs go, the althicte oes with them. When the body as a pair of sound limbs to respond to the command of the fighting spirit, the race or the game can be won. When the legs are gone, the cannot carry on. This is one of the oldest axioms of athletics and the most proved one but it ever is a fresh topic of dis- cussion for there are always new examples to quote and sad songs to rsing about the passage of great stars, Cobb, Speaker affected Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker have been going for a number of years. Now they are definitely gone be- cause their legs will carry them no farther. They are quitting base- ball at the end of the current sea- son. Cobb can catch a ball when he gets to it and he can throw with old-time skill. So can Speaker. Cobb can hit the ball as often as he could in his best days and so can Speaker, but they can’t t the extra step that means a safe hit or the winning run so many times. Jack Dempsey can punch just as when he reduced the face of the mammoth Jess Willard to a pulp and won the world’s heavyweight cham- pionship. But his legs are gone and he can’t hit a target that he van’t reach. Dempsey’s greatest asset os a fighting man was his grea: speed of hand and foot. His arms are still quick but his legs cannot re- spond to the motor. Bill Tilden has been slipping for several years but fighting on with the hope that he cou!] adjust his game to overcome the handicap of lost speed. Tilden is today the greatest three-set player in the world but his legs refuse to carry him through a hard five-set match and his career as the world’s greatest Runners Hone Cracked ~ Three of America’s greatest run- ners cracked up almost on the same day in the Olympic games at Am- sterdam.

They have no fancy theories to explain the unusual life of their limbs in a business that usually kills them off quickly. “We just took care of them,” they say. STEELE OUTFIT CLOUTS LINTON Outhit by Linton seven to six, the fast-moving Steele baseball club put another notch in the butt of its re- volver by winning from the southern crew 6 to 5 Sunday. Edwards hit a home run in the ninth and scored the winning run before the ball was picked up by the Linton fielder. Jake Baumgartner, pitching for Linton, did everything in his power to win the game, allowing only six hits and whiffing 13 Steele batsmen, but the reorganized Steele outfit played heads-up baseball throughout. J. Klein, Linton first sacker, and Tucker, Steele third baseman, led the hitters, each getting two safe wal- lops in five trips. Armstrong and Moser hit three-basers. Edwards knocked a homer against Bowdon the revious week and won that game ‘or Steele also. The box score: Linton— : ABH POA J. Baumgartner, ss... 5 10 1 J.

However, as I have said before, there are a lot of important facts that are not revealed by the mere Pitching and batting averages. Figures Do Lie It so happens that the figures contained in the batting and pitch- ing records do not revea! the all important fact that Reuther is 35 years of aj hat he has pitched 10 years of major league basebu! he began his professional career in 1911 in the Pacific Coast League, where now, 17 years later, he is the star of the organization. The Coast League averagcs also fail to tell you that in 1927 he was a member of the New York Yankees, world champions, and that las: sea- son he won 13 games while losing six. Despite so inposing a record, all major league clubs waived on him arid since he served 10 years in the majors the New York club was forced, under the rules, to give him his unconditional release, making him a free agent. Could Use Him _ It is a cinch that at the present time Man: ger Miller Huggins would welcome the return of Reuther to the Yankee pitching staff.

With the tough going that the Yanks are now having, an experi- enced pitcher of the Reuther t; would be a world of help to the club in the home stretch, especially sinc it promises to be a rather bitter struggle bet -een New York and Philadelphia. ‘Reuther, in winning 19 games on the coast inst four defeats, has allowed about eight hits per game, while in the 197 innings that he has worked only 61 earned runs have crossed the plate.

Matthew Schu macher, C.S.C., new president of the institution. Under the plan outlined by Father Schumacher, Mr. Rockne would have general supervisory authority over football activities at the college, with Father Joseph Gibbs as ath- letic director. This work would ne- ate frequent vii Rockne to the midway institution. both during the training period and during the playing season. This is the first step taken by Father Schumacher to bring St. Thomas college athletics to the fore- front and to make the institution one | B of the outstanding athletic centers in the northwest. Ronald Gibbs, brother of Father Gibbs, who was appointed last fall as head football coach, will continue in that capacity, with Frank Mayer, former Notre Dame star lineman, ai his assistant. It is believed that Mayer will handle the linemen. The association of ‘kne, although in a non-resident capacity, is expected to give the midway col- lege athletics an impetus which has four or five years. SAINTS DELAY 5 Chicago, Aug. 14. — (®) — The slender lead of Indianapolis in the American association pennant race has been made a bit more secure, not by the Indians, but by St. Ps 4 to 1 win over the Minneapolis Mil- lers yesterday. By winning from the Millers while |‘ the rest of the league was idle, St. Paul not only weakened their inter- city rival’s hold on second place, but lifted themselves into fourth place tie with the Kansas City Blues. Until yesterday Indianapolis had only a game and a half. over the Mille . Close behind the two lead- ers are Milwaukee Brewers, whose seven-game winning streak dis- placed the Blues from third place.

The card is sponsored by the Wilton: Golf Club. Cavanagh made this statement in Bismarck today. Compton, accord- ing to Cavanagh, is a much flashier though not so rugged a fighter as Herman Ratzlaff, who has been soing great guns in his last few ights and who held Clyde Hull to a draw a short time ago in a South Dakota ring. ‘ compa shaded Cavanagh in their last fight, when Cavanagh was fighting out at Billings, Mont., but Cavanagh thinks he has Comp- ton’s number this time. Cavanagh was formerly known as the Billings wildcat, Indian Tommy Short, Fort Yates, and Soldier Cecil Parks, Fort Lin- coln, both 145-pounders, mect in the eight-round semiwindup, with little to choose between the two boxers. If Parks is in condition he will put up a whale of a fight. Little is known of the redskin. Young Musky, Sait 320 and Kid Krush, Wilton, will fight six rounds. Rusty Newman. and Cy- clone Cleveland, both of Wilton, will stage the curtain raiser. Fights begin at 9 p. m. promptly, managers say.

TILDEN’S NAME MISSING FROM For First Time in Years, Big Bill Is Not Entered in Classic Meet New York, Aug. 14.—()}—The list of players‘in the annual east- « west tennis matches has been posted for the world to see, and lo, “Bi, Bill” Tilden’s name does not hi the list. As a matter of fact it doosn’t appear at all and thereby hangs another tennis mystery. “Big Bill” now awaiting trial on charges of violating the amateur rule of the United States Lawn Ten- nis association, has been a familiar figure in east-west matches for years. Many was the duel he fought with “Little Bill” Johnstone in this annual series. Now both apparently are out of the picture. - “Little Bill’s” absence is voluntary. He an- nounced his retirement some months ago. But “Big Bill” evidently is off the squad -by official decision. The eastern squad for the matches to be played this Friday and Sat- urday at Forest Hills will consist: of, Richard N. Williams, Philadelphia,’ captain; Francis T. Hunter, of New Rochelle, N. Y.; Dr. George King, Watson Washburn and Teizo Toba, all of New York; John Van Ryn of Princeton; nse band Mangin of Ne- wark, and Frit2 Mercur of Harris- burg, Pa. Federal Indian School Improves New Grounds Improvements are being made this summer on a 93-acre tract of land purchased by the government for the federal Indian school here. A deep well, which has just been sunk, may be used for irrivation - Purposes during dry seasons, ac- cording to C. B. Dickinson, super- | intendent of the school. Primarily, however, the well will be used for watering livestock which will be pastured on the land. The superintendent also plans to erect a silo on the land this fal so that corn raised‘can be ground into silage and fed to livestock dyr- ing the winter months. Although the federal government is paying for material for the im- provements, all the labor is being done by Indian youths who live at the school, Dickinson said. MINOT HOSPITAL WILL BUILD Minot—Construction of three ad- ditional stories to the west wing of Trinity hospital, Minot, has been an- nounced by the hospital association. This improvement will provide for 50 more beds. Two of the three new floors, will be given to private rooms, while the third will contain wards for children.
