CUBS DEFEND SLM LEADERSHIPMARGIN McCarthymen Gain Top by Beating Braves as Dodgers Bow to Cards. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. HE Chicago Cubs breathed deeply today of the dust- less air at the head of the procession—leaders of the National League parade once more. In second place, crestfallen and erhaps just a bit weary of the rantic struggling that is marking the final drive for the flag, are the Brooklyn Robins, out of first place, with the exception of a cou~ ple of one-day lapses, for the first time since June. The margin is only a point, but it is & margin, and the worst is yet to come for the felling flock of Uncle Wilbert Robinson, for the Robins must face the battling Cubs themselves in a four-game series that opens today in the back yard ©of the 1929 champions. The Cardinals dealt their in the overthrow of Brooklyn yesterday, coming from behind in the ninth to score three runs and whip_the Robins for the third straight time, 7 to 6, while young Buddy Teachout, freshman south- ¢ the Cubs, was taming the 4 to 2, the third time Mc- rriors have turned that trick Cubs Hold Big Edge. b re woeful even than the drop of throflob\ns is the record of thecgock against the Cubs themselves. Brook- Iyn has bub:n Lcmugn only 4 times 11 defeats. n‘:‘g‘:‘mn of the Cardinal conquest sterday was Del - Bissonette, lanky klyn first baseman. Hellis Thurs- ton went into the ninth with a 6-t0-4 lead, thanks to Babe Herman's twenty- seventh homer, another by Johnny Frederick -and other timely clouting against Johnson and Grabowski. Then y and Watkins led, Bissonette hit Watkins in the forceout on Fisher's groun Tuns scored. Del missed threw late to catch Pisher at third and Gelbert hit to him again, and a pass filled the bases. Babe Phelps replaced Thurston. He got two out, but Frankie Frisch, who would like to play in Brook- 1yn next season, singled home the win- Tun. 2 Cubs’ tussle with the Braves was a simple thing with Teachout al- Jowing but six hits. Wallie Berger got his twenty-ninth home, but Cantwell was hit freely. | Pirates End Slump. The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Giants 8 to 5 and kept them from gaining precious ground. Larry French pitched nice ball to halt a Pirate losing streak that had reached five straight. Bill Terry did most of the Giant hit- ting with a homer, double and single, and Prench helped his own cause with three hits. Washington's Senators picked up a game on the pace-setting Athletics in the American League, but the breach still is very wide. Washington clipped | Cleveland 9 to 2, while old Red Faber and his spit ball were taming the A's and Lefty Walberg, 8 to 3. Goose Gos- lin hit a pair of homers to lead a St. Louis attack that halted the Yankee winning streak at six games, 10 to 5. O'Rourke and Blue also hit home runs. Danny MacFayden turned in the best pitching performance of the day, letting Detroit down with three hits, two of them by Easterling, as the Red Sox won 5 to 1. Ray Kolp also hurled well for Cincinnati, holding the slugging :hmi;smslxmhsslhemm. to 2.

By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, August 12.—Hand-to-hand battle for leadership of the National Lea; befween the Brooklyn forces of U Wilbert Robinson and Marse Joe McCarthy’s Cubs was the major engage- ment of the base ball wars today. ‘The Cubs, back in the lead by the almost unnoticeable margin of one per- centage point, were confident that their winning streak of five straight is just nicely started and that their season superiority over the Robins would carry them to a sizable lead in the four- game series. The Robins, however, fig- ured that the Cubs can't beat them for- ever, and looked to the law of averages to help them break the spell that has cost them 11 defeat sin 14 starts against the Bruins. In the last three games of the Boston series Cubs hurlers gave a total of 14 hits, and three pitchers did all the work. Until recently, McCarthy had all kinds of trouble finding pitchers who could last a full game, but the work of Root, Malone and Teachout was taken as an indication, among the Cubs, that pitching staff is in stride. McCarthy had available for today's opener Guy Bush and Charlie Root, while Dazzy Vance was expected to hurl for the Robins. Vance last season was a source of unhappiness to Cub bats- men, but this season has not bothered them much.

The first to risk her crown will be Helen Wills Moody in the women's tennis champlonship at Forest Hills, The Listening Post By Walter Trumbull. HERE is a decided impression around boxing circles that an |- earnest effort is being made to have Primo Carnera reinstated by various commissions which have barred him and to match him against some other heavyweight, possibly in New York or Chicago. As there might be considerable money in another Car- nera match, this may be done. Money is now the thing by which the boxing racket is measured. I have lately read several pathetic articles in defense of little Primo, weepily intimating that he has been vastly abused. This would appear to be true. When a fighter is surrounded by kindly gentlemen, working both ends against the middle for his benefit, he should not pick them dumb. One of the dumbest proceedings of recent years has been the handling of an Ital- ian heavyweight who shall be nameless. It has been pointed out that almost all heavyweights have fought a certain number of palookas and that Primo should not be blamed for picking op- ponents with round heels. . Certainly not. The best manner in which to give a green heavyweight experience is to match him with fairly easy op- ponents and bring him along slowly. But it would appear to be going a little far to create the impression that certain business arrangements had been made with those opponents before they entered the ring. If you can't beat a fifth-rater without having a pal tickle his abdomen with a gun, it would seem to me that no great amount of sym- pathy is due. This, of course, is just a hypothetical case, but these silly stories do_get around. There is a verse: “A well built up fellow, with many to thank: The string of opponents who went in the tank.” h But such a doggerel has no place ere. { Carnera certainly never would coun-: tenance anything which wasn’t on_the level, especially an opponent. And there are many to vouch for his sportsman- ship: Leon See, Bill Duffy, Abe Attell and Bob Perry, who, in a rough and tumble, probably could still trim all the foreign heavyweights who could be packed on a boat, with no aid from his grandchildren, Geor&e Abbott had Perry as a performer in the fight scene of & picture he directed. The carnage was remarkable. I heard a story that some one outside the movies owed Bob $1,000. 1 hope he got it. But, to get back to Carnera, if T‘l‘g draw a _large number of those boxing fans, who love skill and science and | support the manly art, at a good price per ticket, proving the old adage that a boxing fan and his money are soon parted. This would be grand for every- ody. Sometimes 1 wonder what that g:l: dee, who battled no less than seven world champions and never failed to give his followers an honest run and the best he had for their money, thinks about the boxing game of today.

It will happen some time—but hardly this Summer. The next champion who must de- fend his title is Bill Tilden in the national tennis championship at Forest Hills early in_September. Tilden will have plenty of risks to face. By that time he should be home-acclimated and ready to go—and he should also be the leading favorite—but he. will have no easy time crowding off the Vines and Woods and Shieldses and Lotts and Allisons. A few days later Leo Diegel has the toughest job of them all in defending is P. G. A. championship at Fresh Meadow against the inroads of some 31 other star pros. It will take a lot of %oll every day to slip through this pack. - Then Jimmy Johnston comes along to defend his amateur golf crown at Merion, where, as usual, the main job will be blocking off Bobby Jones before he gets to the 36-hole tests. By that time it will be too late. Johnston is ?nnlher champion with heavy.odds to ace. All in all, quite a time will be had in the next five or six .weeks where only one title holder is reasonably sure to repeat. HE next lightweight battle in sight seems to be a contest between Berg and Singer. Just how this match might make out is anybody's guess. Berg won three rounds from Kid Chocolate and lost 7, yet got the decision. He was outclassed—but still won. ‘With decisions of this sort making the rounds, one guess is the same as another. The act of winning doesn’t mean anything. A boxer can actually lose every round and still get the verdict. So when Berg and Singer meet the same old story may take place—~which is to say that.the winner might be the loser and the loser might easily be the winner, Any one who wishes to throw his guess against that mystic tangle is en- titled to take his chance. But if he bets on his judgment he is comical in the cupola. Hack Wilson continues to thunder his way in the wake of Babe Ruth’s home run jaunt, The Babe is another title defender.

EW YORK, August 12.—Three members of a five-man team of American track athletes re- turned from a successful com= petitive invasion of Europe on the Ber- genstjord of the Norwegian-American Line yesterday with glowing reports of an athletic renaissance on the continent. The trio consisted of Pete Bowen of the University of Pittsburgh, the Na- tional A. A. U. and National Collegiate A. A. 440-yard champion; Steve Ander- son of the University of Washington, National A. A. U. and National Col- legiate A. A. hurdles title holder, and Tom Warne of Northwestern, National Collegiate A. A. pole vault champion, One other member of the squad, Ed Hamm of Georgia Tech, the Olympic broad jump title holder, returned a week ago, while George Bullwinkle of City College, the intercollegiate one- mile champion, remained in Europe for an educational trip. Also with Bowen, Anderson and Warne was Pendleton Crosby, Washington sprinter, who was an unofficial member of the party. According to the returning travelers, one of the most significant developments in European athletics is the grasping of the fundamentals of pole vaulting for the first time. games four Americans, one American- trained Canadian and a Japanese were the six finalists, and not a competitor }r; :]l of Europe could come close to 13 Wagner of Germany hit 13 feet in one tussle with Warne, but since the Northwestern star consistently went to 13 feet 9 inches, he was able to keep his winning streak intact. Anderson met with only one setback, while Bowen, running every distance from 100 yards to 440, had more diffi- culty in fashioning as successful a rec- ord as his teammates. In Bowen's opinion, none of the for- eign sprinters, Koernig, Lammers, En- glehardt and the rest, could compare with Simpson, Tolan and the American stars, but he had warm words of praise for Matti Jarvinenof Finland, who set a new wold javelin record of 237 feet 5 85-128 inches, and Jarvinen'’s brother, who established a new universal stand- ard for the decathlon. All three athletes left for Pittsburgh, where they will train for the national A. A. U. championships on August 22, 23 and 25. Bowen and Anderson will be defending their crowns, while Warne will be seeking the title that just eluded him a year ago.

Sets Speedboat Mark But May Not Get Cup By the Assoclated: Press. ST. LOUIS, August 12.—Although Claude M. Mickler, amateur speed- boat driver of New Orleans, piloted his And How III from New Orleans to St. Louis in 78 hours and 51 min- utes to set a new record, it was un- certain today whether he would re- ceive the Koenig trophy, emblematic of the outboard championship for th‘e 1,154 miles up the Mississippi ver. His time was 8 hours and 40 min- utes better than the old record. Mickler denied he changed motors en route, although he said he made major repairs near Memphis. Be- fore he started, he said, he took aboard a spare motor. Parts of the spare engine not used in the repairs w‘l;e shipped to Helena, Ark., he said. Because he made the repairs, Mickler said, he did not intend to follow up his challenge for the Koenig cup now held by Dr. Louis Leroy of Memphis. A committee from the St. Louis Yacht Club, however, was named to pass on his qualifications for the y. \ ‘Under rules laid down Edwin C. Koenig of St. Louls, trophy donor, only minor repairs are allowed with- out disqualification.

BY ORLO ROBERTSON. By the Associated Press. 4 EW YORK, August 12.—With- George D. Widener's James- town enthroned as the juvenle champion for the time bel at least, another title will be at stake Saturday, when Harry Payne Whitney's Whichone seeks to oust Gallant Fox from the 3-year-old championship in the sixty-first running of the Travers at Saratoga. Back to the racing wars after an enforced vacation, the great son of Chicle appears to be faster than at any time in his sensational career. And that is covering a lot of ground, for the Whitney ace was 2-year-old of 1929, claim to know say he trains better and runs better. If Whichone's performances in the Saranac and Whitney stakes are any criterion as to what he will do Satur- day, then Gallant Fox is up against a mighty tough proposition in his battle to go through the year undefeated. Supporters of the Fox may be slightly worried by Whichone's 1:37 and 2:04 in his two Saratoga victories the past week, but not Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons. Asked what he thinks about Satur- day’'s duel, the veteran trainer of the Sir Galahad III offspring merely smiles and gives his usual answer, “I have | a mighty fit horse,” and the big bay colt is not giving his trainer any cause to worry, if the work tab of the clocks ers count for anything. i Saturday will be the first time this year Whichone has not gone to the post an odds-on favorite. In the With- ers, Saranac and Whitney the son of Chicle faced the starter at prohibitive odds and won. In the Belmont he was pquoted at 3 to 5, while Gallant Fox, the winner, was the second choice, at 8 to 5. The Travers, however, will be dif- ferent. T'> Fox will in all probability rule the 3 to 5 choice, with Whichone being offered at 7 or 8 to 5. Evidently believing plenty of work is the best conditioner for his star, Tom Healey, trainer for the Whitney Stables, is sending Whichone to the post three times within a week in preparation for his duel with Gallant Fox. He ap- peared twice last week and is slated to g0 today in the Miller, with a purse! of $3500 added. Six front rank 3-year- olds have been named to o] e Whitneyite, but despite their p ltfl weight it will be an upset if any af sfxtet offers Whichone even stern oppo- sition. In contrast, Fitzsimmons is confining the Fox's workouts to morning trips around the Spa oval. A victory Satur- day for Gallant Fox would boost his earnings above the $300,000 mark and within striking distance of the e time money-winning record of $313,636 held by Zev.
