PAGE TEN BOTHLEADERS |Yanks Go I nto Slu GAIN HEADWAY ON RUNNER-UP Return of Sunny Jim Bottom- ley, Home Run Clouter, Bol- sters St. Louis PIRATES PICK UP Yankees Win Double Header From Detroit as Athletics Watch Raindrops Fall (By The Associated Press) The St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees at last can take time out for a breath without endanger- ing their hold on the leadership posi- tions in the two major leagues. Bolstered by the return of “Sunny Jim” Bottomley, who totes a mighty |e bat to the plate, the Cards ave won four straight games, their last triumph coming at the expense of the contending Chicago Cubs yesterday, 11 to 3. The Cards now lead the National Procession by four games but that advantage may dwindle considerably or disappear entirely during the next 18 days when St. Louis’ opposition e**2 @ comes not only from the Cubs but from the other two western contend- ers as well—the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds. While the Cards thus were con- solidating their position at the top of the senior circuit, the Yankees were doing exactly the same thing in the American. A double-barrelled triumph over the Detroit Tigers 4 to 3, and 5 to 2 sent the world’s champions four full games ahead of the Athletics who were forced to sit idle at Philadelphia and watch the raindrops patter down. In the oy other National League battle, the Pittsburgh Pirates down- ed the Cincinnati Reds in easy fash- ion, 9 to 4, gained an even break in the two-day series and advanced to within one game of the Reds who hold fourth place in the standings. At Boston, the St. Louis Browns beat the Red Sox twice, 8 to 6 and 4 to 0. The opener was a free-hitting battle which the Browns won by Scoring seven runs in the sixth and seventh innings. Jack Ogden, form- er Baltimore Ace, held the Red Sox to four hits in the nightcap while MacFayden was touched for nine. Three of these, one a home run, ‘went to Schulte, Brown center field- er. George Uhle’s effective itching gave th: Clevefand Indians a triumph over Washington, 5 to 3, and an even break in the four games series. Hudlin had to relieve Uhle in the ninth with two on and none out and got out of the difficulty by forcing Rice to line out and Goose Goslin to hit into a double play. KAWS PUSHING LOOP LEADERS Chicago, Aug. 28.—(AP)—Thanks to “Dutch” Zwilling and his Kansas City Blues, the struggle for the American Association pennant has tightened up again. ie Blues buoyed their own pen- nant nopes us wen as chose of neapolis, Milwaukee and St. ul Haprivag d by trimming the league leading Indianapolis Indians, 7 to 6 in the opening skirmish of their fi- 1 s. The victory carried Min- to within a game and a half from the top, while the Blues were two games, the Brewers three and a half and the Saints five games from the peak. Although outhit, the Millers took the series opener from Columbus, 6 to 5. St. Paul came from behind to whip Toledo, 8 to 7, and Milwaukee triumphed over Louisville, 14 to 5, Principally because Bunny Brief socked out home runs fourteen and fifteen and because Gearin turned in one of the best relief pitching per- formances of the year.

LEE CAVANAGH MEETS KRAUSE IN 10 ROUNDS Card Is Scheduled For Labor Day at. Wildwood Lake, Hughes Announces Lee Cavanagh, Bismarck welter- weight who recently gave Tiger Johnny Compton, Minot slugger, an artistic pasting, will meet a tough opponent in Battling Krause, Hazen, in a 10-round main event at Wild- wood Lake Labor Day. Battling Krause at one tim> was considered welterweight champion of North Dakota and is now fighting in top form. Krause also was a con- tender for the world’s welterweight chenrionanin in his earlier fighting lays. Cavanagh, erstwhile Billings Wild- cat, showed terrific drive in his scrap with Compton at Wildwood Lake a few weeks ago, though his left was a trifle weak and untrained, according to experts at the ringside. He floored the Minot leatherpusher several times during the bout, win- ning six rounds to Compton’s one in a 10-round melee. Other fights on the card follow: Scouts to Celebrate Advancement in Rank Bismarck Boy Scouts who have advanced in scouting rank will cele- brate that honor at the Court of Honor to be held Wednesday evening at the City Park grounds, near the tourist camp. - “i An outdoor program of scout ac- tivities will be given at this time, which will include demonstrations in the various phases of scouting.

AMERICAN LEAGUE : THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE mo Just As S ‘SECOND SACK | EXPERT AIDS TEAM ACTION Team Used to Go as Ruth Did, But Fans Are Beginning to Wake Up INJURED SHOULDER Team Positions Were Shifted When He Left; Fielders Were Moved BY HENRY L. FARRELL (NEA Service Sports Writer) During the years since they be- came something in American League affairs, it has become lggendary of the New York Yankees that as the Babe went so went the ball club. There were spells when the Babe was not himself for reasons that are not pertinent to this piece and dur- ing those bad spells the whole ball club seemed to go bad. There were other and more num- erous spurts when the Babe was him- self and when he was hitting the whole ball club battered its way with abandon through the best pitching in the league. It did seem as if the pace of the ball club was governed ‘entirely by the whims and the moods of the Babe. And as the Babe settled down to become the despair of the managers of rival clubs he became at the same time their hope for the future. “When the Babe goes that whole ball club will bust right open,” the rival managers reasoned and they consoled themselves with the thought that Mr. Ruth could not go on for- ever. < mi But the legend of the dominating Ruth influence on the club, if not actually blasted this season, was, to say the least, placed in a position where it could be doubted, seriously. jabe Was Responsible The Babe, during a season that turned into a surprising fight for their lives as champions, had one of his best seasons. ‘There wasn’t any period up to the time this is written ** @ “MARY BRIA Oh. tiest of the screen actresses, ese 8 Stanford Football Star and Film Actress Reported Engaged to Marry \BIFF"BOFFMA\ AND @ - /=— Seems as if Clarence “Biff” Hoffman has been playing around Holly- wood with success this summer, for reports from the movie colon: it that he has wooed and won Mary Brian, one of the youngest rf No date has been ace cording to the report, because Hoffman has to do a lot of fullbacking and captaining for the Stanford team this year.

ARIZONA’S POLITICAL STREAMS ARE PLUGGED BY BOULDER DAM ISSUES| Cause Heavy Damage have set for the wedding, This is the tenth of a series of stories on the political situation in the various states.) Phoenix, Ariz. Aug. 28.—@)— The muddy-Colorado river rolls over that he could have been declared definitely to have been in a “bet He kept consistently ahead of his 1927 pace in an inspiring attempt to make another home run record. He tinkered with his stance and swing to produce hits into left field that would win ball games. And he won several of them by crossing the standard Ruth style of defense against him. Y He fielded his position brilliantly and restra: ed his remarkable en- thusiasm only on the strictest orders from the bench that he was to taxe no unnecessary chances on his asm or legs. But in spite of the Babe’s tremen- dous inspiration the Yankees went suddenly and without warning into a state of almost complete demorali- zation.

Lazzeri’s Loss Felt After Lazzeri was injured the Yankees fost every series they played on the road and their position was so threatened by the charging Philadelphia Athletics that the offi-| 51, cials of the club had to send the S OS to the minors for reinforce- ments. Since he came up to the Yankees, Lazzeri has been regarded as any- national and state politics in Arizona, and penetrates to the smallest chink in every public question here. Across the state boundary in southern California the proposed Boulder Canyon dam on the Colo- rado is a hot political topic, but in Arizona—and trom an entirely dif- ferent angle—it is the very breath of political life. The Colorado river question affects, besides these two, tive other western states, but it reaches its maximum heat in Ari- zona, This state, standing alone, de- mands recognition of certain rights she feels she las in the river- waters before a move is made to dam and distribute them. So far she asserts, has not received that recogni- tion. Arizona separates her state fram her national politics, but she tints both liberally with Colorado river brown. She preferred a democratic president in 1916, but elected a re- publican governor. In 1920 the state gave both president and governor a republican majority, but in 1924 her governor was Democratic and her presidential choice republican, .

Time Ago, Is the Vic- tim of Former Welter and Middleweight Fighter’s Bar- rage San Francisco, dicta sala. Mickey Walker, middleweight cham- pion, made a successful entry into the light heavyweight ranks last night when he scored a sensational knockout over Armand Emanuel, San Francisco, in the seventh round of their ten-round bout. With the same spectacular attack that helped him win and hold the welterweight and middleweight titles in turn, Mickey Walker punched Emanuel out of the 175-pound class, temporarily at least. Two short right handers did the trick. The first time it landed, he ee on the canvas i. nine seconds. He got up ry an during a hard exchange ih which he tried to regain ground, bumped into another right to the jaw that put him out for the full count. Hand- lers had to help him to his corner and he was dazed long after reach- ing his dressing room. A few months ago Emanuel gave Tommy Loughran a great battle, losing a close decision, A crowd of approximately 20,000 persons paid around $50,900 to see the fight. Foggy and cool weather held-dewn the attendance. Jack Kearns, manager of Walker, announced that he was negotiating for a title match with Loughran. He said it would be held either in Chi- cago or Los Angel les. Mammoth Hail Stones ae von eth eepgeneree eters night cau: wy damage within a radius of 40 -miles of Flasher, in southern Morton county.

HELEN WILLS TAKES TITLES Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 28. -47) —Helen Wills has made two Natica- al tennis championships grew where but one grew before. : Her straight set victory over Miss Helen Jacobs of Santa Barbara, Calif., yesterday, 6-2, 6-1, in success- ful defense of her National singles crown was surprising only because of its overwhelming one-sidedness, But her victory in the doubles cham- jionship paired with Mrs. Hazel lotchkiss Wightman, of Boston, ‘was more unexpected. Not for three years had Miss Wills been able to carry off both titles. While Helen of Berkeley has now performed the unpreczdented feat of winning the championships of France, England and the United States in one season without losing a set, she has never gained such wide vember. acclaim as a doubles player. > HENRY » : iui: Ses ae the boat First G: : a farm in Arizon several | eee | Marte senna @ Aves eena'eal BAW ED PR AICRC Detroit .... sesceee 8 7 Ol him au the bast ocean: haeman in assumed to know the problems of a alee ae ii 4 Zach: 1| the le nd perhaps in the ma- am whose. farm interests are You.can get cigar “Sica ‘argrave; Zachary! jors, Miller Huggins knew his ; and Bengough. we. sates ee tec titan hence rae y savored Lowden over quality for a nickel sine z.| the Post, as the regular second base-| fornian by residence, and that point —Henry George i 01 in the es Detroit... 2| season to. the manager of another| cr#sged in the Colorado river bogey.| Oyiahoma City, Okla., Aug. 28.— proves it!
