' Threatening Cubs Trim Pirates, | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1935 Giants’ Inability to Beat Second Division Clubs Worries Terry >HILLIES BEAT TWO NEW YORK PITCHING | STALWARTS, 7-4, 6-3 Reduce Leaders’ Margin to Two Games TIGERS INCREASE LEAD Yankees Drop 9-6 Decision to Athletics: Indians Split With Browns (By the Associated Press) Failure of the New York Giants to sash in against the supposedly weak eams is causing Manager Bill Terry 10 end of worry. Against the first division teams— the Cubs, Cardinals, and Pirates — they have performed like a great ball slub, winning 27 and losing 15. But pitted against the second di- vision outfts, the Boston Braves ex- septed, they have displayed far from shampionship caliber. The Phillies Thursday took the neasure of the Giants’ mound aces— Hal Schumacher and Carl Hubbell. They whipped Schumacher 7 to 4, Carry Bismarck’s Hopes in National Tournament at Wichita routing him in the fourth, and sximmed Hubbell, 6 to 3. The threat- ming Chicago Cubs beat the Pitts- ourgh Pirates 9 to 5. Hold Two-Game Lead As the result, the league leaders faced the Phillies again Friday hold- ing a two-game advantage over the Cubs and a three and one-half game margin over the Cardinals, who were idle Thursday. The Detroit Tigers widened their gap over the New York Yankees fn the American League to five games by defeating the Chicago White Sox 5 to 2 while the New Yorkers were drop- ping a 9 to 6 decision to the Athletics. The Yankee - Athletics contest marked the 1,600th successive game in which Lou Gehrig had played. He sontributed his 18th homer and 366th circuit drive since starting his string June 1, 1925. The Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Bronws split a doubleheader, the Indians winning the first 14 to 8 and the Brownies the nightcap, 9 to 5.

Dropped behind at 5 to 3 on Min- neapolis’ four-run attack in the eighth, St. Paul returned for three scores itself to resume the lead, only to have the Laidlaws knot the count in the ninth. Both a goat and hero, Cather Mc- Ginty of St. Paul figured in the last runs of both teams.

Brainerd dropped to last place, s half game behind the Pirates. Grand Forks jumped from sixth to a tie for third place by defeating Su- perior, 11 to 2, while Duluth dropped @ 6 to 3 decision to the leading Fargo- Moorhead Twins. Winnipeg continued its winning streak by trouncing Eau Claire, 9 to 3, but Friday had dropped another half game behind the Twins as a re- sult of Duluth’s protest of a Maroon victory being allowed Thursday by President Danny Moore, who ordered the game replayed.

Solely on his record, the brown bomber is an absolute standout in the heavyweight ranks. He is the hardest hitter since Jack Dempsey and apparently a better finisher. If Louis disposes of Max Baer in a match virtually certain to take place at New York’s polo grounds on Sept. 26, there will remain not the slight- est question as to the logical chal- lenger for the crown plucked from Baer's erratic locks by James J.
