But the | Griffs find it heartening to know that | CIif is available. Despite the stop in Washington yes- terday the series here is a part of the Griffs' second long road trip of the year. They came out of the West with eight victories as against five de- feats and stand a great chance here to fatten the percentage and return to action in the Capital at the end of the week on the crest of a real road record. SOFT BALLERS CLASH Billed as the outstanding soft ball attraction of the year, two all-star tens will class at Grifith Stadium to- night in the last half of a double- header which will be opened by a girls’ game between the Department of Agri- culture lasses and the Government League All-Stars. The former will start at 8:30 o'clock. Bunker Hill and Abe Rosenfield, ace soft ball pitchers, are expected to be mound rivals in the main clash. League Statistics TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1936, American .

La for instance, the guy who invented the theory batted a cool .000. When the smoke had cleared on the major :eague battlefields last Fourth of July, it was discovered that New York's Yanks and | the-§t. Louis Cards were leading the pack. When the world series rolled around, however, the Tigers were representing the American League, and lo, and behold, Chi- cago's Cubs had come from no- where to bear the banner of the Naticnal League. This was quite a jolt to disciples of the July 4 creed, but you can thumb | over base ball history and find the religion was not entirely baseless There is, despite the washout last sea- son, & measure of consistency to the way the leaders of July 4 run. Red Sox Unraveling. LOOKING ‘em over from a position just or: the short side of the half- | mile pole, you find the Yankees run- ning well ahead in Will Harridge's league. Most clubs will play half a dozen games before sundcwn on July 4, but you can bet Joe McCarthy's club will be out in front by then. You cannot say so much for the Red Sox, and in the second-place fight may be the redeeming feature of the Amer- ican League race, unless the Yanks crack up. Boston's costly collection of mediocrecy is faltering. The Sox seemed to have made their initial bid to stay with the leaders, and found the pace too hot. Steve O'Neill and Acting Manager Del Baker have the Indians and Tigers, respectively, running neck and neck behind the Red Sox. Steve brought his Tribe back from its last Eastern trip in bad shape, but, as is custcmary with Cleveland clubs in their tailor- made park, the Indians rallied during the home stay. Now they're on the road again, and nothing has happened so far this sea- son to disturb the belief that Cleveland is a notoriously poor traveling team. Tigers Keep Charging. 'HE Tigers are a mystery—yet. When Hank Greenberg was hurt they faltered, but when they showed signs ot regaining step, dynamic Mickey Cochrane folded up and was sent away for a rest cure. Again the Bengals folded, but now darned if they're not getting a grip on themselves and stag- ing another charge. Running in good pesition we find the Nationals, The Harrismen, on pa- per, have no right to be trailing tkLe Red Sox by oniy two and one-half games or the Indians and Tigers by half a game. Yet this is a mystory that must, for the time being, be per- mitted to remain unsolved. It is an item that must take care of itself, like Joe Louis’ chin in his next fight. ‘The only concrete dope on Washing- ton i® that it’s managed to stay in the running, with pitching bordering on mediocrecy and without a cog like Buddy Myer. You can forget the American League race after finishing with a peek at the White Sox. Jimmy Dykes’ club is three and one-half games behind Washing- ton, but unlike the 1935 Sox it's a team that may get better. The other day Dykes came up with a promising out- flelding rookie in Larry Rosenthal, and he may make a difference. Closer Race in Naticnal. N THE National League you've got & better race. The chances of the July, 4 rule holding up in Ford Prick’s circuis are not better thay 1 to 4. st year,| + sneaking home ahead of the field. The Cubs, who must be a great| streak team, are hot egain. They were | hot enough to pass, the Cardinals the | other day, but the 1935 champs aren't | home yet. The Gas House Gang is hit- ting on only one pitching cylin- der, Dizzy Dean, but there’s a chance that somebody might help him 'ere long. Then they'll be tough. The Pirates are running third, four | games behind Pie Traynor has a fair | ball club, with an outside chance of So has Bill Terry. The Giants have been sprint- ers now for the last three years, They always seem to find the route too long, but Gotham must be conceded a chance to get a subway series yet. One game back of the Giants you find the National League's counter- | part of the Griffmen—Cincinnati's| Reds. They don't beleng, you see, but | they're up among the elite, despite lack of social standing. Moreover, the Reds | are egotistical enough to think tiey can win the flag. In this respect they actually out-ego the Nationals. The rest you can forget. The Braves are named the Bees this ceason, but there is a strong resemblance. The| Phillies just haven't got it. And Casey | Stengel's Dodgers are going so poorly that Flatbush may put in a call for Zioncheck as manager any dsy now. o DEAN WILL TRAIN HERE. Bobby Dean, featherweight cham- pion of Pennsylvania, who will meet Petey Sarron at Griffith Stadium next Monday night, was to start training here today, after scoring a brilliant victory over Earl Fredericks in Lan- caster, Pa., last night. 2 BRAND-NEW FORD V- Defeat Cubs Before 33,468 Night Fans, Crowd Giants for Fourth Place. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. N SPITE of the verbal brickbats [ that have been tossed at the Cin- | cinnati Reds for their night games, their red pants, their fire- works and the rest of their display, Chuck Dressen’s club is rapidly becom- ing an important factor in the Na- tional League pennant race. The Reds’ sudden rise has been one of the big surprises of the 1936 season, but even more surprising is the fact that Dressen has been able to build up | a dangerous ball club without dlfiumz‘ deeply into owner Powell Crosley’s oankroll. Playing before the biggest crowd that has seen a game in Cincinnati since 1928—33,468—the Reds again showed their strength last night by turning | back the Chicago Cubs, 4 to 3, in a duel | between Paul Derringer and Curt Davis. Is Seventh Straight. T WAS Cincinnati's seventh straight | victory and put the Reds only half a game behind the fourth-place New York Giants in addition to knocking the Cubs back into a tie with the Car- dinals after one day of clear possession of the National League lead. All other major league clubs were idle yesterday as rain removed the only other scheduled contest, between the Tigers and the White Sox. For six innings Davis and Der- ringer engaged in a brilliant mound battle with the Cubs holding a| slight edge over Cincinnati'’s collec- | tion of young players who have broken into the majors in the last year or two and cast-offs of other clubs. The Cubs were first to break the deadlock, scor- ing a run in the seventh on Jimmy ODea's single and Johnny Gill's| double. One Inning Is Enough. THE Cubs cracked completely in the last half of the inning and piled three errors on top of four Cincinnati | | hits to give the Reds all their runs. Singles by Ival Goodman, Les Scar- sella and Babe Herman opened the rally. Three doubles into the averflow crowd, which made ground rules necessary, gave Chicago two runs in| the eighth, but Derringer tightened up and stopped them short of a tie. The Reds, who brought night base ball and fireworks into the majors and | made the other clubs and the fans | like them, injected a new -sartorial | note into the proceedings. They | came out with their long-heralded | new uniforms—red pants and creamy white shirts—rivaling the gaudiest displays seen on the foot ball fields. The customers Bppro‘-‘ed of them, too.
