I I cision over the Harris horde for he was opposed by Tommy; Bridges, the little chucker who spe-| cializes in one-hit games. Tommy had ! pitched two of this type against the| Nationals, and though he was not quite | that-strong this time, he still was plenty stingy with safeties, and the Cronin| crew had all it could do to get its 2-to-1 victory. With such opposition the General had to bear down from the start of the tussle, and that he did despite the ain it caused him. He pumped the gxll in there with much on it. He showed a flashy curve and he had a great fast ball. In fact, Crowder was faster yesterday than at any other time this season. So effective was he that the Tigers gleaned but six safeties off his Gelivery and but for an error by Buddy Myer the General would have had a shutout. Crowder’s control was of high order, | too. Through the first seven rounds he‘ did not issue a free ticket to first base.

SPECTACULAR catch by Goose A Goslin got the General out of trouble, but he was so spent at to second just in time to force out | Manush, RONIN did a fancy plece of field- ing in the first to get Owen. The Tiger bounced a hot one off Crowder's hands, but Joe went back off second base to retrieve the ball and threw for an eyelash decision. In this same inning Goslin con- tributed a spectacular bit. The Goose flung himself against the right fleld screen and with one hand picked off Gehringer's drive. Goslin did not get a hit off Bridges, but he walloped one in the second inning that gave White a lot of leg- work. ‘The Tiger center fielder had to go back to the flagpole for the catch. It was Left PFielder Cronin in the fourth frame. Joe left the shortfield to go far into Manush's territory for Stone’s high one. Manush stood by to see that the job was well done. Goslin almost stood on his nose to get Hayworth's liner in the fifth. He ran in fast and grabbed the ball at his choetops. With both hands, too. CHULTE made it a bad day for S Rogell. In the sixth, the Wash- ington center fielder raced to the far reaches of his patrol to pull down & hard drive and in the ninth he chased over to left center for a grab of a liner that seemed ticketed for the scoreboard to become a double at least. ‘Walker showed a lot of speed on the hoof in the seventh session. After singling Gerry stole second and third in rapid order. And Crowder was not winding up to pitch to Owen. After walking his first time up, Bluege had a tough time of it with Bridges’ stuff.

In less than a month both have been eliminated from the scene by the clubbing fists of Max Baer and Primo Carnera, who had too wide a margin on the physical side. There is already an advance ripple of thrills over the prospect of peering at the two surviving giants who have a chance to bring back the first million- dollar gate since Dempsey and Tunney wound up the big meney act at Chicago six_years ago.

EW YORK, July 1.—Batting leaders of the major leagues evaded the pitching spell cast over most of the other hitters during the past week and emerged with strengthened positions after yesterday's games. The first four men in the American League and the first three in the Na- tional showed higher marks than last week, while others of the “first 10” in each circuit fell off as much as 25 points. It was Jimmie Foxx of the Athletics who made the week’s big gain, even though the league leaders, Al Simmons and Chuck Klein, continued their con- | sictent hitting for gains of 7 and 4 points, respectively.

SPORTS. Cardinals Rank Poison to Giants WAL PAGESETTERS TTH STRAIGHT TIME |Griffmen Back in Lead as | Yankees Drop Close One. Phils, Braves Spurt. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. HE “Indian sign” which the T St. Louis Cardinals hold over the New York Giants this season is standing them in good stead in their ef- forts to regain the National League lead. The Cards haven’t lost a game to the Giants this year, winning their seventh straight by a 1-to-0 count yesterday, when Joe Med- wick broke up a mound duel be- tween Dizzy Dean and Hal Schu- | macher by pasting a home run after two were out in the ninth. Thanks to Medwick’s blow, the Cards now trail the pace-setting Giants by only two and one-half games. For eight and two-thirds innings Schumacher had the best of the mound duel, giving only three hits to six off Dean, but the Giants couldn't get him a run. Meanwhile, the Washington Senators again pulled away in the American League race, breaking their tie with the New York Yankees by defeating De- troit's Tigers by a 2-to-1 count, while the Yanks “blew” a 13-to-12 decision to | the Cleveland Indians.

Connolly Reviews Work By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ETROIT, July 1—Umpiring here this week has been so questionable that President Harridge of the American League yesterday sent Tom- my Connolly, his umpirz-in-chief, to Navin fleld to take a look at Roy Van Graflin, Bill Summers and Red Ormsby in action. Frank Navin, Detroit club president, had com- plained about the Work of the offi- cials in the Yankee series, that im- mediately preceded the Nationals' set here. He particularly criticized Van Graflin’s officiating. Although the Washington Club had not made any formal protest of Van Graflin’s decision on Walk- er's drive in Thursday’'s game, & drive that hit the left-field barrier plainly on the outside of the foul line, yet was called “fair” by Van Graflin, to become a damaging dou- ble, Connolly got an earful about this poor piece of umpiring from Secretary Ed Eynon 2nd Manager C-cn'n of the Nationals, ter iy called the umpires ¥ while leading one counter-attack after another, always on the offensive, al- | ways taking the war into enemy coun- | try. Sharkey’s best chance was to take the gamble he took—to bewilder Carnera if possible with a fast, sav- age attack—to either knock him out or leave him groggy, as he did two years ago. He had no chance to go 15 rounds at high speed against the surplus margin | of 60 pounds, where weight and pres- | sure would have told heavily after the tenth round. Sharkey went to the charge with fine | ring spirit, giving all he had to give. | He gave a brilliant exhibition of boxing. | and he looked like a champion up to the moment his face struck the canvas | and the count began. Winning Factors. HERE were two factors that, settled the issue even before | big Carnera had . Sharkey groggy through the sixth round. | The first shock to Sharkey came when he found that Carnera was now able to block the left hook that did so much damage in their first meeting. | Sharkey threw one left after another, only to find a huge oak-tree arm ir | the way. | The clumsy giant of two years ago | had come a long way since their first mecting. He was mo longer clumsy, and he knew what it was all about. The second shock came when Sharkey | decided to gamble with his right. He| missed more than one of these wild| | swings, but at least three landed solid- | |ly and heavily on Carnera’s chin. And when they landed—much to Sharkey’s stunned surprise— nothing happened except the ap- pearance of a half mocking grin on Carnera's massive frontispiece. If he had been jarred in any way he failed to show it. ! Sharkey hit Carnera in the fifth| round with a right that must have | “smelled like a hot brick.” It carried all the ammunition Sharkey had in his system. But it failed even to rock the Man | Mountain, firmly balanced on a pair of | massive legs and a pair of No. 20 shoes. This brought the story home to Sharkey with only one possible finish. He couldn’t knock Carnera out, and he couldn’t hold this fast pace much longer against such heavy physical odds. Yet if he had elected to box more carefully he would have traveled the | last five rounds on sagging legs. Subconsciously Sharkey must | have ' of Van Graflan, Summers and into conference, but afterward de- clined to make any statement con- cerning the talk. He did say, though, that he will be in New York on July 4 to see how the umpires handle’ in the important double- header between Nationals and Yankees. | It has leaked out that Van Graf- lan and Summers almost came to blows in the umpires’ dressing room at Navin Field after Thursday’s en- gagement, when the two hooked up in a bitter controversy over Walker's drive. According to the story going the rounds, Van Graflan, who was head umpire in the game, is alleged to have admitted he did not see where Walker's drive landed against the left-field barrier and looked to who was back of third base, for a signal that would indi- cate what decision should be made. Summers allegedly told Van Graf- | lan he had fiashed & “foul” signal good punch, and when Carnera got his chance he let one fly from his knee. It is a long way from Carnera’s knee to Sharkey’s chin, and the uppercut was whistling by the time it landed x with a thud that sounded like thunder across the Long Island landscape. It came at a time when Sharkey had shot his bolt—at a time when Sharkey | knew there could be only one finish | |against an opponent who shed rights | Burke to the jaw as a concrete roof sheds an April shower. | Really Fast Action. HE six rounds that completed | the show carried more ac- tion than any heavyweight contest has known in years.

He was the Sharkey who tore into Jimmy Maloney and Harry Wills, the Sharkey who attempted to knock out Jack Dempsey in one round—a Sharkey out on a rampage, ready to gamble to the last rap. But he was meeting an opponent who had improved immensely in two years— a far different Carnera from the man | he knocked down and beat up two years | ago. was also much harder to hit and much harder to hurt. He had been seasoned and toughened in more than 250 rounds since his first chance against the Boston | fighter. When Carnera proved that he knew how to block most of Sharkey’s dangerous left hooks and that he could take every punch Sharkey had to offer without any sign of flopping, the story was practically over. It was only a question then when the tide would turn. Sharkey had gambled on a fast, rush- ing attack and he would have been worn down in another round or two, even if Carnera had missed those sixth-round punches. Yet Sharkey can feel in de- feat that he lost the title after one of the best fights he ever fought. He lost as a champion should lose. it. 1033, by North American News- (Copyright.
