BARKER (Associated Press Sports Writer) The Fourth of July, time-honored | point for taking pennant soundings, is | close at hand and if baseball tradi- | tion holds true neither the New York Yankees nor the St. Louis Cardinals will repeat their major league cham- | pionship victories of last year. | Baseball tradition has it the leaders ; on July 4 are the pennant winners. There have been exceptions to this | rule but they have been surprisingly | few and far between, As the races stand now neither the | Yankees nor the Cardinals ean reach the top of their respective Ieagues by July 4. The Yankees languish in third place in the American league, nine full games back of the league- leading Philadeiphia Athletics. The Cardinals trail the Chicago Cubs, pace setters of the National circuit, by five games. Whatever happens between now and Independence day, the Athletics can not be ousted from the American Teague lead. The Cubs’ hold on first place in the National league is not secure, Donic Bush's Pittsburgh Pi- | rates trailing by only half a game. | The Nation: mained in status Cubs and Cardinz Jeague’s only battle, struggled to a wild 11-11 deadlock called at the end of the sixth inning to allow the Car- dinals to grab a train for Pittsburgh. In the American league, the Yankees barely escaped dropping back a little further in the race. Benny Paschal’s pinch home run with Koenig on base | in the seventh gave the champions a 3 to 2 verdict over the Boston Red Sox. AMERICAN LEAGUE Standings Philadelphia St. Louis New York Detroit .

WEEKES Chicago, July 2.—(4)—The Kansas City Blues today were one up on Min- neapolis in their important series and faced the second effort of the Millers with an advantage of two and one- | half games in the American Associa- tion race. Dutch Zwilling’s club put the Mill- crs in the hole yesterday by taking a great battle by 1 to 0. Max Thomas outpitched Rube Benton, restricting Minneapolis to six hits. The Blues nicked Benton for nine, well spaced except in the third inning when Freddie Spurgeon followed Knothe’s single with a triple, for the only run of the contest. St. Paul maintained the pace and won its third game in two days, out- socking Milwaukee for a 9 to 3 vic- tory.

Only one obstacle—there’s a faint chance there might be two—bars the path of the “schlaging” Teuton. The definite barrier is Jack Sharkey,! who will attempt to block the Schmeling road to the heights in the Yankee stadium in September. The slight possibility, of course, is Jack Dempsey, the old man mauler, who never will cease to a threat, even in retirement, as long as he has the strength to lift his “Iron Mikes” into fighting position. On the records of the past year or so, it seems as though Schmel- ing has just what it takes te wipe Sharkey from the ranks of contend- ers. The Boston Tar seems never to have regained his best fighting form since the night Dempsey blasted him from the road to another shot at the erudite Tunney. Sharkey has been an in-and-outer. His last effort, a close di ion victory over Young Stribling in Miami Beach, Fla., was The young German, ling the crest of rising might, will be the favorite of most of the critics to lay his dazzling right hand sharply and frequently on the chin of the Boston Battler, enough times, in fact, to remove Sharkey from the picture in abrupt order.

The fourth Pacific science congress here today was told why all shells dissolve in salt water after falling to a@ depth of about 15,000 feet, or only half way down to the deepest ocean floors.
