K.’, Declares ‘Diz’ Bruins Trail by 2/2 Games as Terrymen Split Double Bill With Pirates SS By BILL BONI (Associated Press Sports Writer) There's no rest for the weary. Slapped down and around twice on the same afternoon by the rambunc- tious Bees, pushed two and a half games back of the Giants, the Cubs Wednesday faced two more games with Commodore McKechnie’s scrap- py crew—and especially with Com- modore McKechnie’s veteran rookies, rookie veterans or, by any name you please, crack pitchers. The latest of them, Milt Shoffner, was set to work against the Bruins in one game Wednesday afternoon. Behind him are Lou Fette and Jim ‘Turner, the all-season sensations who should be rested by Thursday. ‘That double defeat handed the Bruins .. , «,_ 9 to 0 as the Bees slugged behind Johnny Lanning, 4-2 as they fielded smartly behind Danny MacFayden—did the Cubs no good whatsoever. With the Giants splitting with Pittsburgh, it cost the Cubs a full game and, besides, tacked two more defeats on their list. The Chicagoans now have lost four games more than the league leaders —and the “games lost” column is the one where the ball players themselves pay off, since a game lost is one that can’t be made up. The latest standings showed: Games Games Club W L Behind toPlay Giants 80 52 o. 22 Cubs .. 19 56 2% 19 The Giants came out of the only doubleheader of their last western in- vasion well enough. In the opener, which they won 12-2, they gave Carl Hubbell more runs than the silent southpaw has had all season and en- abled him to coast to the honor of peing the first major leaguer to win 19 games. TUESDAY’S STARS Hank Leiber, Giants, and Bill Brubaker and Lloyd Waner, Pi- rates—Former’s homer and single drove in four runs to lead way to 12-2 victory in opener; Brubaker and Waner combined for 6-2 de- feat of Giants in nightcap. Billy Rogelt, Tigers — Clouted double and triple and drove home five runs in 11-6 trimming of Sen- ators. Ducky Medwick and Lonnie War- neke, Cardinals —Former’s double scored winning run in 14-inning 9-8 opener victory over Phils; lat- ter hurled 1-0 shutout in abbrevi- ated second game. Bill Dickey and Myril Hoag, Yankees — Bagged seven hits and drove in nine runs in 17-5 slaugh- ter of Indians. Roy Henshaw and Buck Marrow, Dodgers — Henshaw checked Reds’ rally in ninth as Brooklyn took opener 4-2; Marrow made National League bow with six-hit 11-2 win in nightcap. Johnny Lanning and Danny MacFayden, Bees — Former held Cubs to five hits, latter to seven, as Boston swept twin bill, 9-0 and 4-2. Beau Bell, Browns—Cracked out two doubles and triple and batted in three runs in 11-4 triumph over Athletics. Blanton Wins Nightcap Even in the nightcap, which they lost 6-2, to Cy Blanton, they nicked the Pirate righthander for eight hits and might have pulled the game out of the fire in the eighth, when Hank Leiber, who had batted in four runs in the opener, grounded into a double play with the bases jammed. The rest of the day’s program was enough to leave pitchers strewn about in slap-happy carload lots. The Yankees led the parade with a 16-hit fireworks display good for a 17-5 vic- tory over the Indians and leaving the the American League champions needing only Wednesday's double- header to erase Cleveland's last mathematical hope. The Browns and Tigers also tlimbed into double figures, the Browns with an 11-4 shellacking of the Athletics, Detroit with an 11-6 clouting of the Senators. Following the Bees’ example, the Cardinals and Dodgers swept right through their bargain bills. St. Louis climbed into a third-place tie with the Pirates by beating the Phils 9-8 in 1€ innings, and then 1-0 in four and a half, while Brooklyn nosed out hie 4-2, then swamped them, NATIONAL LEAGUE Giants Win-Lose First Game— New York .... 400 008 000—12 12 0 Pittsburgh 000 020 000— 210 1 Hubbell * and Mancuso; Brandt, Brown, Bowman and Padden.

The Cleveland team Tuesday night retained its title, and became the first club in the national tournament's five-year history to repeat, by de- feating Detroit, 7 to 1, before 20,000 spectators at Soldiers’ Field.

Madigan Expects Speedier Eleven Gaels Should Be Stronger Than Last Year Despite Loss of Some Stars Editor's note: This is one of a series dealing with the prospects of major college football teams. San Francisco, Sept. 15—(?)—St. Mary’s galloping Gaels, with Edward Patrick “Slip” Madigan cracking the coaching whip for his 17th season, ounce into the football scramble this season with a team speedier than in the past. Madigan sizes up the situation this way: “St. Mary's should be stronger this season, We lost some good boys but we've added a few outstanding play- ers, too. The only position of unde- termined strength is center. None of the candidates has had varsity ex- perience. We're not worrying much over the other places. The squad as a whole sizes up better than many an- other I’ve coached.” Milo Millicivich and Nick Katz- meyer, both 200 pounders, appear capable of filling the pivot post. One of the bright spots results from the return of Jerry Dowd, 200 pound fullback who was injured in the first few minutes of the opening game last year. He was out for the season, Although the Gaels will be out- weighed by California’s huge crew in the season opener, it would be neces- sary to stretch the imagination to classify them as lightweights. The line averages 198% pounds and the backfield 185 pounds. The schedule: Sept. 25—California at Berkeley; Oct. 3, Gonzaga at San Prancisco; Oct. 9, Nevada at San Prancisco; Oct. 17, Loyola at Los Angeles; Oct. 23, Idaho at San Fran- cisco; Oct. 30 Pacific at Stockton; Nov. 7, San Francisco at San Fran- cisco; Nov. 14, Santa Clara at San tha Nov. 20, Fordham at New ‘ork, SPECS TOPORCER HONORED Hazelton, Pa.—Specs Toporcer, for- mer National League infielder, who now manages the Hazelton team of the New York-Pennsylvania League, was named manager of the loop's all- pak team selected recently by sports rs, NO SPRING TRAINING? \ Ithaca, N.
