The Cubs have used only one pitch- er in each of 12 of the 13 consecutive games they have won while their ri- vals, the Cards and the Giants, have seen their flingers shelled into the showers on various occasions during that span. ‘The Cubs subdued the Giants, 8-3 behind the seven-hit pitching of Warneke Monday. The win kept the Cubs two games ahead of the second place cards and shoved the New York team 4% games to the rear. Cubs Belt Rookie Thirty thousand pennant mad fans howled with glee as the belting Cubs knocked holes in Terry’s experiment of starting a rookie, Harry Gumbert, against the league leaders. ‘The Cards, arising from the dust of three straight defeats at the hands of the Giants, defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers, 1-0 in a mound duel be- tween Paul Dean and Van Mungo. Sammy Byrd whaled out a single in the llth inning to break up a mound duel between two rookies as the Cincinnati Reds defeated Phil- adelphia, 3-2, Jim Bevan for the Reds and Lee Grissom for the Phils were the rookies who turned in good performances. Less than 500 were on hand to see Pittsburgh beat Boston, 5-3. Browns Trim Yanks Detroit pulled out to a 9% game lead over the Yankees by defeating the Boston Red Sox 5-3 while St. Louis was turning back the Yankees 5-2 in New York. ‘The Chicago White Sox maltreat- ‘eda pair of Washington pitchers as sad Sam Jones was limiting the Sen- ators to four bingles. The Sox won, 9-1. Cleveland took their series opener from the Athletics 8-5 before another meager crowd of 500.

D., Sept. 16.—()— Some idea of what the University Da- kota is going to have in the way of attack will be gained Friday night when the Sioux meet Moorhead of the season here in Memorial stad- ium, It is being taken for granted North Dakota’s defense will again be very tough, The line that permitted only one touchdown during 1935 is expect- ed to be stronger this fall. But here have been changes in both the back- field and in the style of attack. So it remains for time and competition to determine how much scoring the Nodaks will do. The offense has been slow in de- veloping, but late scrimmages have shown plenty of punch in the back- field, Ed Rorvig at fullback and Cliff Monsrud at right, both sophomores, are showing so much promise as ball carriers that Coach C. A.~ West is hopeful of an improved attack. Face Tough Test There seems to-be no doubt but that the Moorhead Teachers will give the Sioux a thorough test Friday. Coach Alex Nemzek’s Dragons were undefeated last season, the only blemish being a 13-13 tie with Con- cordia college in the second game of the season, however, when the Teach- ers played their closing 1934 contest they defeated North Dakota Aggies the only club that set the Sioux down in their campaign last fall. Moorhead has 21 lettermen on a squad of 45 candidates so the Dragons are expected to have an even better club than last season, and they are coming here with the idea of upset- ting the Nodaks rather than giving a practice game. West has made only two changes in his varsity lineup since he picked @ first string team two weeks ago. Loly. Amick, husky sophomore, is be- ing used at right guard in place of Winston Olson reserve of last year, while Monsrud has had the call at right half in the place of Gordon Burish, sophomore. Coach Teaches Louis Lost Art of Feinting Pompton Lakes, N. J., Sept. 17.—(P) —Jack Blackburn, coach and trainer of Joe Louis and a veteran of 325 fights, is trying to teach his pupil the art of feinting, a science which the old timers declare is a lost art. Blackburn, not as nimble as he was in his fighting days, donned the gloves with Louis in secret Monday, attempting to show him how to give false signals to an opponent, make him drop his guard for a blow in the stomach and then get it in the head. Scribes were told that Louis would not box on sauntering down by the indoor gmynasium they heard the thud of gloves, the animated words of Blackburn as he drove home a |point. . He will resume boxing Wednesday and among the spectators was ex- pected to be a man who will watch him with more than passing interest. James J. Braddock, the Cinderella Kid and the champion, signified his intention of watching the battler he may have to face with his champion- ship at stake.

Other members of the committee are Jack MacLaughlin and A. £, An- derson. The diamonds, if constructed, will be located on north Washington 8t., on property of the golf course, which is now under the management of the city park board.

Bleachers will be set up to accommodate the fans and the possibilities are that the state diamondball tournaments will be brought here in 1937 if adequate fa- cilities are provided. Would Improve Links At the golf course where two new greens have already been built in the process of altering the present links, the new projects call for an expen- diture of $2,000 for butlding mater- ials for the club house, $275 for trees, shrubs and grass seed to be used in the landscaping, $362 for a water fencing and posts to be placed around the entire property.
