TOURING WORLD; Here’s a quartete of big guns of the St. Louis Cardinals, apparently destined to win their sec-| ond National League pennant in three years. The mighty right arms of Big Jess Haines (center)| and Old Alex (upper right) have helped elevate the Rcd Birds’ pitching staff to a high state of! ON MANY LINKS Ironi perfection. The speed of Frankie Frisch (upper left) and the batting punch of Sunny Jim Bottomley’ (lower right) have been two o?:‘?'r major factors in the Cardinals’ 1928 success. By JAY R. VESSELS (A. P. Sports Writer) NEW YORK, July 28.—The league leading Red Birds of St. Louis are fighting off the oppo- sition with the effective ferocity of an eagle defendinz its lofty perch. They winged their way to the top of the heap and they're going to do some clawing td stay there, and the battle thus far has been costly only to the Cardinals’ foes. These fast flying Red Birds are making good because they've been gett'ng more than their share of individual brilliancy and because. of unexcelled team play. In team batting and team fielding they have consistently pressed for the lead, and their pitching as a unit sizes up as the best in the league. Indicative of their battling is the standing of Taylor Douthit, who has been leading the cireuit in to- tal hits and indicative of their speed is the rating of Frankie Frisch, who has been setting the pace for the base stealers. Manager Bill McKechnie, who had his ups and downs at Pitts. burgh, is fully credited around the senior circuit with having engi- neered the Cardinal's remarkable showing. ~ Even such things as crippled playérs haven't cramped his style. He shoots in replace- ments and then watches them out- play the absent regulars. ‘Witness the performances - of Maranville at shortstop and Har- ‘per in"the outfield. The vener- able - Rabbit, pronounced through four years ago, subbed for Tommy Thevenow and Harper filled in for Walter Roettger, out with a broken leg. Their playing has been well above the average.. This is typical of the way Mc- Kechnie has heen converting . breaks into good omes* He ran out of reliet pitching ) ‘stumbled upon Clarene ‘who couldn’t even make spit-baller did ' was to o the | ST.

The Cardinals’ manager is cred- ited with having done wonders with Jimmy Wilson, just an ordi- nary catcher with the Phillies, but now rated as second to none in the big leagues. He has caught more games chis year than any other National League catcher. Severai s individual performance: have marked the Cardinals’ elevation to set the pace in a dazzling mid-summer pennant scramble. There is old Alex—the great Grover Cleveland Alexander—who_at the age of 41 won three games in eight days with. an arm that has seen 25 years of hard hurling. ‘There is Sunny Jim Bottomley, who hit three triples in ome day. triples that the sluggers say a harder to get than home -runs pe. cause they bave to run ’em out. At one time Jim led the league in home runs, tripies and doubles and in runs scored. 5 The showing of the Red Birds since mid-May has paraliéled that of the world’s champlonship Cardi- nal outfit of 1926, which in suec- cessive road trips checked in with a record of something like 13 vic. fories in 16 starts and nine victor- les. in 11 starts, respeetively.

CUBAN GOLFERS , CARRY SLICKERS| HAVANA, July 28~Ditches, bunkers and traps, the usual haz- ards of ‘golf, abound in Cuba, but the greatest summer hazard of all is the weather. The golf bug who plans to play in the afternoon must be prepared for rain, which, now with a few exceptions, falls daily between 2 o'clock and dusk A few hardy souls still attempt to tee off, but in the main the golf courses are desolate during the heavy tropical summer rainy sea- son. Those who do play are fortified with slickers and often caddies pack umbrellas as well'as clubs. ——t Al { VERMONT GETS SKI MEET CHICAGO, July 28.—The 1929 National ski champibnships will be 21, and 22.

Free MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 28.—The favored golfing trophy of C. R.! Viselogle of the Colpnial Country b, Memphis, is a battered gutta ! percha globule bearing his name in |faded ink and a letter which at- tests its history. I In playing the Colonial Club course, Mr. Wiselogle sliced this ball out of bounds and lost it. It was found later by a caddy who,| as caddies are wont to do, sold it to another golfer. 1 That customer happened to be, W. W. Stillson, who was leaving! Memphis for aq world four. Inl mid-ocean, Mr. Stillson, examining his golfing gear, noticed Mr. Wise- | logle's name on ome of his golf| balls. He played the ball on every pos- sible foreign course—first in Ja. pan, then China, next in tha Phii- ippines, then in turn in Java, Su-; matra, Burma, India, Afghanistan,| Persia, Ceylon, Arabia, Italy, in' Switzerland, France, England and Scotland. On his return to America, Mr.l Stillson mailed Mr. Wiselogle the! ball and a letter in which he set| forth its history. The epistle and the gutta percha have been framed | at the Colonial Club by Mr. Wise- logle. | 5.00 2.00 hill is one of the finest in _the country, being a nafural course' where jumps of 190 to 200 feet can be made. ————— DOR OWNERS Dogs in streets continual l:rl running and barking at cars are a menace to public safety and will be taken and shot.
