SATURDAY, ATGUST 3, 1929 Season Two-Thirds Gone, Hadley Good : Mandell Is Too Clever for Canzoneri BUMP SHOWS SLAB CLASS IN HIS THIRD WIN OF YEAR | Moundsman Whose Failure to Produce Consistently This Year Has Hurt Nationals Greatly Easily Checks Browns in BY JOHN B. KELLER. o | P AMES won, 3; games lost, 11.” That'’s the record of the pitcher who more than any other was expected to keep | the Nationals well up in the running of the American | League race this year—Irving D. Hadley. And his third victory was recorded olny yesterday, a 5-to-3 victory over the Browns, which gave the Johnson band the series with Howley's horde, three games to one. Two years ago Bump Hadley, in his first season in the majors, hurled well enough to be ranked the most effective pitcher in the American League. He hurled 14 victories against 6 defeats, and allowed an average of only 2.85 earned runs per nine innings. Last year, even though stricken by appendicitis while at training camp and unable to do any good slabbing during the first half of the campaign. Hadley won 12 games and lost 13, averaging a yield of 3.56 earned runs per nine innings.

Bump, despite a sore finger ‘on his heaving hand. had the Browns at his mercy vesterday after the first inning until the last, and between these innings his club had tucked away the| contest. : Hadley was off to a poor start, being reached for a double by McGowan, a | pass by Schulte and another double by Kress after two were out in the first frame. This netted the Browns two tallies. During the next seven sessions, | though, the Browns got nothing more | | than Blue's two-bagger, with two gone, | Eblladelphia . in the second: Melillo's walk and Man- | New York . , fon’s single, with one out, in the fourth, | St. Louls ] 1 which were nullified by a double play; ' Claveland { McGowan'’s single after two were out in Detroit i the fifth, and a pass to Blue after two Wa; were out'in the seventh.

BY HERBERT W. BERKER, Associated Press Sports Writer, HE so-called ball games in the American League yesterday pro- vided the customers with 51 Tuns and enabled the Philadel- phia Athletics to stretch their lead oveg the New York Yankees to 11}, games. The A’s beat the Detroit Tigers in & fray. that lasted 2 hours and 14 min- utes to win by 11 to 10. The Yanks played 2 hours and 25 minutes before dropping a 9-to-8 decision to the Cleve- land Indians. Detroit piled up a lead of 8 to 3 on the A’s in the first two innings, but Connie Mack’s pennant-bound young- | sters kept pegging away, tied up the score at 9-all in the eighth when Owen Carroll forced in a run with a walk and won out in the same frame by scoring two more Tuns before Carroll could apply the brakes. It was not Harry Heilmann's fault that the Tigers lost. He drove out two home runs and two singles in five turns at the bat. Falk’s Homer Decides. Bib Falk's homer with two on In | the ninth gave the Indians a thrilling victory over the Yanks. It was a see- saw battle, with Pipgras and Heimach dians retiring after heavy gunfire. Washington beat St. Louis, 5 10 3. A two-run rally in the tenth gave the Boston Red Sox a 3-to-2 decision over Chicago. The White Sox scored one Tun in their half of the tenth on | Taitt's double and Berg's single, but the Red Sox came back with two, on a third strike that got away from Berg. a forceout, Bill Barrett’s double and Regan’s single. In the National League the league- | leading Cubs, held idle by rain, gained | another half game on Pittsburgh, which was blanked, 2-0, by the Phillies. The Pirates’ defeat lefi them five and one-half games from the top. Lester | Sweetland gave the Pirates 11 hits, but | they could not bunch them to ad- | vantage. Larry French gave the Phils six hits, but three errors by Clarke, Rookte Pirate shortstop, gave the Phils |one run in the fifth and Don Hurst's | homer in the ninth gave the Quakers | another tally. Hurst's last six hits have been home runs. Cards Pound Vance. The St. Louis Cardinals pounded Daszy ' Vance for 18 hits and 13 runs in six innings and coasted in to a 14-7 verdict. over Brooklyn. Ernie Orsatti, ! cardinal outfielder, got four hits and Jim Bottomley hit his twenty-fourth ! homer of the v The Cincinnati Reds finally broke the spell Fred Fitzsimmons has woven around their bats this season and beat the New York Giants, 3-2. Fitzsim- mons had pitched 36 consecutive score- less innings against the Reds until they scored n on him in the first inning yesterd: Two more unearned runs came across in the third and Pitz was forced to accept a defeat, de- spite the fact that he allowed only four hits all told.

The elongated southpaw is having the best season of his career. He proved that he was not a Yan- kee set-up this year, as he was last, by beating” the champions on June 22, allowing seven hits, striking out six, and—what was most remark- able for Lefty—not passing a man.

But I doubt very much if Mr. “Double-X" Foxx ends the season with a higher average than the Polish outfielder.

In the exciting Yankee-Athletic series on June 21, 22 and 23 it was Al Sim- mons who took the batting honors for the five games, not Ruth or Geh- rig or Foxx.

It had been known for some time that the governor was contemplating & change in the personnel of the com- mission, and Promoter Paddy Harmon’s protest against the alleged “ticket grab” of the retiring commission was believed to have hastened his action. Prehn, who has served as & member of the commission since its inception three years ago, said he would be glad to step out, the job having been “noth- ing but grief.’ He also said he wanted it known that ‘there was no scandal con- nected with the Mandell-Canzoneri ticket trouble. “We always received certain tickets, and paid for them,” he said. “For this fight we got 900 tickets, and expected to | pay for them.” | Mann and Luzzo assumed the same | attitude, the former adding that the | move was a political one.

Canzoneri didn't have a chance thereafter, but he did plunge in hoping to land one paralyzing wal- lop to the chin. Dave Barry, central figure in the much-disputed “fourteen count” of the Dempsey-Tunney fight in Chicago, was referee and cast his vote for Canzoneri. | Judges Ed Klein and Phil Collins | agreed on Mandell as winner.
