However, the fans rose and bellowed their disapproval for fully five minutes as “Double Robert’s” seconds worked over him and finally lugged the battler, un- conscious and in great pain, from the ring.

FARRELL ...| (NEA Service Sports Writer) Old man Mack and hi. Philadel-) phia Athletics may not get into the world series, but they must be given credit for one thing. He and his strange assortment of old men and young men have succeeded in accom- plishing the almost impossible. They have made something close to a real pennant race in the American League. | When the champion New Yor!

In hi ie old baseball head he must have seen in all those July double-headers facing the! champions the chance of a none too strong pitching staff going to pieces. | And he must have known also that! for the break. He not only kept trying, but he kept fighting with a personal prob- lem. He had practically two teams to jockey with a pennant at stake. ber of experienced but slow vet- erans. The other was a team with positions. Mack placed his big hope in the old team figuring that he would use them until they failed and then stick in the youngsters and ask them to put on a spurt down the stretch. But the problem was when to make the switch. One mistake either way could cost “im any chance he had for the pennant. Shift Made Logically The selection of the proper mo- ment for the shift was made itself, The Yankees gave un- takable s of cracking and at Mack’s old boys went e e made the move.

He pulled Joe Hauser off first base again and stuck Ossie Or- woll, one of the pitchers, in that tough spot. And his strategy clicked from the start. While the Yankees were going to pieces and kicking away a lead of about 13 games, the Athletics set sail and nabbed 19 out of 21 games and put themselves right on the heels of the faltering champions.

St. Louis Outfit Whips Braves 7 to 3 Behind, Wee Willie Sherdel; Yanks Ale» Lose tc a Chicago Team and Maci- men Follow Suit Losing to Detroit (By the Associated Press) Some small part of the tension has been removed from the National League race, for the moment at least, by a St. Louis victory and a New York defeat, but the American League quarrel persists in remain- ing in just the state it reached 10 days ago when the Athletics came to the peak of their spurt in the west. While the Cardinals were increas- ing their lead over the Giants to three and one-half games yesterday, the Mackmen ‘vere refusing for the second time in two days to reduce the Yankee margin to the same fig- ure. The champions dropped their second straight to the White Sox | 8-4 but the Mackmen similarly ex- posed their chins to the Tigers for the second time in as many days, by the score of 6 to 3. Cleveland won by 7 to 0 behind the fine pitching of Joe Shaute in Boston, while Garland Braxton hurled the Senators to a 4 to 3 de- cision over Sam Gray and the Browns. The Wrigley Field jinx pursued the Giants again, but Chicago base hits may just possibly have had something to do with the ninth in- CARDINALS GAIN A GAME T0 RELIEVE FANS BUT AMERICAN REMAINS SAME 4 ning defeat of the Clan McGraw by 6 to 5. The New Yorkers have lost only two games in seven to the Cubs at the Polo Grounds, but have won only that number in ten at Chichgo. The Cardinal victory over the Braves by 7 to 3 was acceptable enough to St. Louisans at its face value, but more acceptable as a sign that the Red Bird slump had ended. Beset often by indifferent pitching, the Cardinals got an excellent brand from Willie Sherdel, and backed it up with 12 solid hits. Cincinnati tur:.ed the tables on Philadelphia, winning by 11 to 4, while Brooklyn smashed its losing streak, stopping the Pirates in a nip-and-tuck game by 6 to 5. -The fray was so warm that Donie Bush talked hifself out of it. Dazzy Vance won his sixth straight, although Jess Petty had to come to his rescue in the eighth. Nine Wins From Same Club Earl Ruelbach, former Cub hurl¢r, and Walter Johnson, formerly with the Senators, are the only major league pitchers ever t. win nine games in one season from the same club. Ruelbach trimmed Brooklyn nine times in 1908 and Johnson de- eyhe the White Sox’ nine times in Put Three Out at Plate Vic Aldridge, now with the Giants, threw three men out at the plate in one inning of the game against Bos- ton in 1924. He was with the Cubs then and all three men were thrown out on hits to Aldridge with the bases loaded. JOHNSTON AND EVANS JOINING YANKEE STAFF Americans Should Win Cao Again This Year But In- vaders May Be Strong MUSIC DOESN'T HEL?’ Eob Gardner and Jess Guil- ford, Members Last Year, Discard Ambitions BY HENRY L. FARRELL (NEA Service Sports Writer) Captain Robert T. Jones, Jr., At- lanta barrister and the chubby em- peror of amateur golf, will lead the American troops into the next big international battle to be staged at the Chicago Golf Club on Aug 30 and 31 when American and Brit amateur teams meet for the Walker Cup. With Neyo Jones will be Jess Sweetser, George von Elm, Roland Mackenzie, Francis Ouimet, Chick Evans, Watts Gunn and Harrison R. Johnston. This band, with the young collegians, Maurice McCarthy and Eugene Homans, in_reserve, consti- tutes what is being heralded as the most distinguished group of ama- teur players that ever has been re- cruited under the colors. Representing Great Britain on tho bunker-lined front will be Major C. O. Hezlet, J. B. Beck, R. H. Hard- man, W. L. Hope, Dr. H. R. Mac- Callum, U. P. Perkins, E. F. Storey, C. J. H. Tolley, T. A. Torrance and B. William Tweddell. Danger Is Reduced Roger Wethered and Ernest Holderness, two of the foremost players in Great Britain, were hon- ored with appointments to the team, but they couldn’t accept and because of their absence the danger of Amer- ican defeat in the matches has been reduced. With two exceptions the Ameri- can team which will defend the cup is composed of the same regulars who defeated the British team in the last contest for the cup in 1926, Chick Evans, who has won his way back into the social good graces of the golf association, replaces Bob Gardner, who captained the 1926 in- vasion, and Harrison R. Johnston suc- ceeds the veteran Jess Guilford. A familiar tune and well memor- ized words can be used in singing the praises of Captain Jones and his company as the “greatest team ever,” but it has been demonstrated 1several times this year that music doesn’t always enchant an enemy. The American Olympic team sailed from New York and docked in Am- sterdam with the stirring accompan- iment of band music, songs of vic- tory and boasts pf conquest. It had the paper credentials of the great- est athletic team ever mobilized in the United States, but it turned out to be perhaps the worst. The Davis Cup team returned from France also without the most prized trophy of international tennis and AUGUST 16, 1928 Captain Bobby Jones Will Lead American Golfers Toward Walker Cup AMATEURS WHO WILL REPRESENT AMERICA IN WALKER CUP MATCHES CAVANAGH LEAVES SOMETIME FRIDAY FOR COMPTON SET Lee Is in Pink of Condition, Plans to Lick Compton in Early Round . - Lee Cavanagh, Bismarck middle- weight, leaves for Wildwood Lake tomorrow where he expects to knock out Tiger Johnny Compton, Minot, in an early round of their scheduled ag headline bout tomorrow night. A 30-round card is being promoted at the resort tomorrow night by the Wilton Golf Club. , Compton shaded Cavanagh when the two met a year ago. Cavanagh was troubled with a huge boil on his head during that scrap. He says Compton will be easy for him this eed as ‘he is in the pink of condi- ion. Cavanagh formerly fought in Bill- ings, Mont., where he aris know as the Billings Wildcat, before mov- ae to Bismarck during last win- er. Lee has fought in Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, egon, _ Washington, Montana, North and South Dakota, Chicago, and Minneapolis and St. Paul, he says. Compton is more clever though not 80 rugged as Herman Ratzlaff, who has been bowling dence ed over sys- tematically in the last few months. W. J. Godwin, Mandan, will ref- eree the bouts. Indian Tommy Short, Fort Yates, and Soldier Cecil Parks, Fort Lin- coln, both 145-pounders, meet in the eight round ne Young Musky, Pittsburgh, and Kid Krush, Wilton, will fight six rounds and Rusty Newman and Cyclone Cleve- land, both of Wilton, will stage the curtain. er. The first fight begins at 9 p. m. A big celebration is planned at the sort tomorrow night. with fresh evidence that reputations ( and records do not deliver in a hard five-set match. Young Golfers Good There can be no question that the young golfers who have been en- trusted with the mission of defend- ing one of the few trophies that still remain in the United States are very good golfers. In their good mo- ments they are great young golfers, but good moments cannot be sched- uled like Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on the calendar. If there is a hole on the Chicago course like the third at Olympia Fields, where the great Bob couldn’t get through in the open champion- ship not long ago, the Americans will be in for a struggle and if there are bad moments ing for Chick Evans-(and they have been acl oo plenty for him this season), Rolan Mackenzie, Gunn or Ouimet, the team will be in for more than a struggle. Von Elm and Sweetser seem to be in very good game, however, and even when he is in trouble Jones is a magnificent golfer and a sweet fighter, é ‘he British team does not appear too formidable and the Americans should win the matches, but you never can tell.
