BRINGING UP FATHER ARE CINCHING FIRST PLACE Defeat New York Giants for Third Time in 4-Game Series CHICAGO, Ill, July 15. — The Chicago Cubs tightened their grip on first place in the National League yesterday by a 6 to 1 win over the New York Giants and their third win in the four-game series. Curt Davis, with his seven-hit pitching, held the Giants scoreless until the eighth inning when singles by Gus Mancusco and Joe Moore and Mel Ott's slow ground- er brought in New York’s only run.

The first eal blow since the purloining of the wooden mascot came in last evening's game with the Legion, when with no Lady Luck on their side, and not even good baseball, the Islanders went down to an eight to two defeat before the re- Jjuvenated veterans who won their first game of the second half.

C, July 15—If Jimmy McLarnin doesn’t emerge victor in his return bout with Tony Canzoneri, lightweight champion of the world in New York August 27, he will retire from the prize ring and set up a physical training school either in Vancouver or Cali- fornia, he announced here. Victory over Canzoneri will mean another match with Barney Ross, who took the world welterweight title from McLarnin last year, When Canzoneri defeated him in New York recently, Jimmy went into the ring overweight, and the bout was a nontitle affair, Mount Pleasant, S.

No one has blamed O'Neill par- ticularly for the annual collapse of the Indians, some of whom are noted for their temperament. Bradley is said to feel that the magic of Ruth’s name and his per- sonality would put new life intd the club.
