Warneke’s Greatness Hidden by Figures Cub Pitching Ace Behind 1932 Record for Wins, But Drops Five Games by Tight Scores. BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, July 19.—Even if the won and lost columns don't show it, Lonnie Warneke is just as much, if not more, of & pitcher than he was last year, when he led the National League’s i hurlers. The young Chicago Cub right- hander. who last year won 23 games and lost 7, today had won 12 games, | against 7 defeats. A year ago today his record was 14 victories and 3 de- feats. The difference has been brought about, not because of short- comings on the part of the pride of Mount Ida. Ark. but by failure of his associates to hit for him His record took it on the chin during a five-game streak of the most dismaying hard luck. He dropped the whole five, even while Shea.

Conniving and scheming on the part of those on the fringe of the game have put it down for the count. And it will not come back in the big athletic spots of the country until the sport is purged of the fistic scum. The legalizing of the game in Wash- ington would help. It would mean a fresh start in a spot where the pugilis- tic second-story workers have not plied their trade. And it could be here that the decent boxing people—and there are plenty of them-—could pattern a lavout and commission for the rest of the country to follow. The Messrs. Jim Farley and his aide, Bill Lyons, both long identi- fied with boring. surely would be behin any move to give the game a start here. And the pair have lots of administration power. But those who know the inside work- ings here say that every effort will be made by anti-boxing groups to check any semblance of a move to legalize the sport in the District Backstage, there has been plenty of lance tfiting by both factions.

This is the greatest of all inter- national shows, outside of the Olympic games.

This may work out well— and it may run into a snag. The entire English side has been under heavy fire for some time. If it isn't stale, this competition may develop a kecner edge than most of the members of the United States team will have. Bill Tilden has always favored all the competition one can take on to be ready for a competition of this sort. “I like to see them what I call ‘tournament tough'" he said one day. “That means building up under fire.” ‘The answer will be given in the next day or so. Kings of Speed and Stamina. HE 1,500-meter race and the mile race are the greatest distances on the track. They speed and stamina, which is the greatest of all tests. And in this connection it might be noted that kings of both distances come far away from the United States. Beccali of Ttaly has run the fastest 1.500-meter race ever known. He put this act through during the Olympic games, when his speed beat 3.50 for the first time. The greatest miler is Lovelock, from New Zealand, a long, long way from the home of the Stars and Stripes. The United States has two great possibilities in Bonthron of Prince- ton and Cunningham from the West —but they have yet to prove they can travel with Beccali and Love- lock. We have done well enough from 100 up through the 400 meters. There we | stop somewhat abruptly. An English-| man, an Italian and a New Zealander have set us new targets from 800 meters through the mile, where stamina counts | as well as speed. Big Fours of Pitching. HE remarkable pitching per- formances of Hubbell, Schu- macher, Fitzsimmons and Parmalee—the big four of the another brilliant enemy more than 30 years ago. They belonged to the Pirates and their names were Sam Leever, Deacon Phil- ippi, Jack Chesbro and Jess Tennehill. This big foyr set an all-time record, as far as I can recall the vital statistics,. They blanked hostile bats in 56 consecutive in- nings —a matter of more than six full ball games—before a run slipped past their barricade. All four belonged to the upper crest of pitching And they had quite a ball club to work with, including Honus ‘Wagner, Fred Clarke, Tommy Leach and a few more still remembered by old- time fans. As the case stands today the big four of the Giants have put on one of the most remarkable pitching campaigns of the last 20 vears. In addition to 15 or more shut- outs, they have turned in any num- ber of ome and two-run contests. With a little lustier batting support, the Giants lead today would be a runaway. Cubs and Cardinals have drawn good pitching, but nothing to approach the phenomenal showing of Bill Terry’s riflemen, who have kept up their mur- derous sniping since mid-April.
