Is Pitcher’s Duel ‘The game between Esmond and Langdon was a closely-contested Pitcher’s duel. Parrish, the 17-year- old pitcher who hurled Grand Forks into the state junior American Le- gion championship last year, set down Esmond with 4 hits. Nesset started strong for Esmond and had the Langdon hitters biting at his curves and drops during the first of the game. But Parrish’s stay- ng power spelled Langdon’s margin of victory. * Parrish.was never in trouble during the entire game and had the Esmond batters so completely under his con- trol that not a ball got out of the infield until the fourth inning when Haugen got a single, Esmond’s first hit of the game. Miss Chance in Sixth Esmond had another scoring chance in the sixth as Nesset got on through ® shortstop’s error.

Carl Hubbell had to be right for Saturday’s game with the Cubs. If those Chicago clouters punch Mr. Meal Ticket Hubbell full of holes again, as they did last week, the Giants are going to have as much chance of tossing elephants around by the tail as they will of catching the Cubs at their current pace. Hubbell, of course, is used to the man on the spot. The finger’s been on him more or less for five years, Last year, he had to produce to win the pennant.

Fight writers, baseball scribes, golf critics and: sports columnists have the hand- ful of regular yacht writers groggy from answering questions. A handful of hardy experts in- terviewed Skipper Vanderbilt from a tug, but all they found out was that there are going to be some races for the America’s Cup. Vanderbilt is courteous to all interviewers but proceeds on the theory it’s his job to steer Ranger, the writers’ job to de- scribe how he, does it, without juizzing him. . Local bookmakers are laying 3 to 2 against the challenger, for any single race. Full field equipment for the races includes binoculars, yacht- ing cap, and the latest copy of Yachting.

On that date the schooner yacht America left Havre, France, where she was refitted after her Atlantic passage, and entered English waters.
