After six victorles in a row the Yankees have been halted. The big Berthas of the Bronx, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, failed to knock any baseballs out of the stadium yester- day and while they did get their hits and passes they languished, for the most part, on the basis. The Cleve- land Indians hung the sign on the Hugmen in the series opener, 6-4. ‘Willis Hudlin was pounded for HI hits but the American league cham- plons were notoriously weak in the pinches. Bob Meusel fanned once with the sacks loaded and under identical circumstances twice hit into . double plays. Ruth got three hits in as many times at bat, two of them | doubles. i The Washington Senators and De- | . troit staged an 11 inning thriller to -“open their series the Senators final- 1y winning after two were out, 5-4. Joe Judge made four hits in five times at bat. The White Sox drubbed Philadel- phia 6-4, Chicago concentrated on “Jing” Johnson and drove him out after four innings. The St. Louis Browns, after four consecutive reverses in New York, dropped the opener to the Boston Red fox 8-2. Ruffing allowed St Louis only six hits. Crowder was nicked for six Boston runs in the seventh. Previously to yesterday the Browns had won 10 straight from Boston. Pittsburgh held on to first place, rallying in the ninth to score three runs and defeat Brooklyn 4-3. The Waner brothers were pretty much the entire show, Lloyd starting the ninth with a single and Paul coming | 1 through with a double. Glen Wright actually won the game with a Mngll)l with the bases full. The Dodgers outhit the league leaders. Chicago’s Cubs won a nerve shat- teripg battle of 10 innings with the Giants 5-4. The Giants tled the count in the eighth and put across a run in the tenth but the Cubs, fighting hard, delivered two in their half of the final frame. Riggs Stephenson went across the winning run with his third hit of the day. The St. Louis Cardinals made it |} four straight over Philadelphia when they took the series final, 6-3.

An- drews, where he won the British open champlonship for the second time in two years, announced that he would play no more golf until the national amateur champlonship starts August 22 gt Minneapolis, ;nd !n‘ld he would hurry to h!l’ ome in Atlaj BapEsns nta to hang out his A contingent of Atlantans were at the gangplank with a brass band as Bobby hit the deck and rushed into the arms of his mother and his wife and some fifty.odd Dixie wel. comers. The homecoming celebra- tlon was stripped of formality, a contemplated parade up Fifth avenue was abandoned and Bobby went into a “huddle” with his ad- mirers in a private room at the far end of a pier, Bobby revealed countless odd things connected with his foreign campaign, including an ordinance of the town of St. Andrews, Scotland. It provides for a fine and Jail sen. tense upon any person who drives from the first tee of the 8t An- drews course with an iron club. Bobby previously had said that the Scoteh are not a dour folk, but after relating the ordinance he had to recant and admit that they take their golf seriously. Bobby's party homeward fnclud. ed his father, Robert Tyre Jones, 8r.; Joe Kirkwood, and Stewart Maiden, professional at the East. lake course of the Atlants Athletjc club. Kirkwood was enthusiastic over the display which led to Bobby win.- ning the title again. *He anything better {n his life,’ o | wood said. Jones sald he did not {intey defend his champlonship nlextn:en': but that he was just as much !nter-’ ested in the big events of golf as ever. Someone ventured that he must feel the absence of new worlds to conquer, but Bobby replied that - | Philadelphia, he got a new thrill in every match and a new hope in every attempt at a new crown. His biggest thrill, he admitted, was his record breaking score at St. Andrews, the best ever made for 72 holes of golf in any national tournament anywhere. GARLAND CHOSEN TENNIS CAPTAIN Succeeds Richard N. Williams as Head of Davis Cup Team New York, July 30 (P—Charles S. Garland, of New York, former tennis star and now chairman of the Davis cup selection committee, will succeed Richard N. Willlams, of as captain of the American team which will defend the lntermtlonn{ trophy in Septem- ber. Announcement of Garland's set- lections was made today by the United States Lawn Tennis associa- tion. It was prompted by the sug- gestion of prominent players that in- terests of the team best would be served this year by a leader not bur- dened also with playing responsibili- ties as Williams was last season. John Hennessey, of Indianapolis, third ranking player of the western association, has been added to the Davis cup squad, the U. 8. L. T. A. also announced, as a result of his cxcellent showing in middle western tournaments thus far. Hennesscy's addition makes a total of nine play- ers—in addition to the “big three"— Tilden, Johnston and Willlams—who will be under observation in pre- liminary tournaments as well as final Davis cup trialg at Forest Hills, August 15, 16 and 17. The other team candidates are Johnny Doeg, of Santa Monica, Cal., Cranston Holman, of San Francisco, A. H. Chapin, Jr., of Springfield, M George Lott of Chicago. Lewis White, of Austin, Tex., Jerome Lang, Dr. George King and Francis T. Hunter, all of New York. The non-playing captain of this squad, Garland, earned playing laur- cls as a college star at Yale. He won the intercollegiate singles title in 1919, With Dick Willlams as a partner, he won the Wimbledon doubles championship in 1820, vear in which “Big Bill" Tilden first triumphed in the British singles. TENNIS STAR ARRIVES Dutch Conrt Champion, Kea Bou- man, Plans to Play in a Series of Tournaments. New York, Bouman, Dutch women's tennis champion, has arrived here for a scries of tournaments including the Seabright champlonship next week and the women's national Aug. 22. Asked which American atars she feared most, she said: “All of them!" Miss Bouman lavishly praised the performance of Helen Wills at Wim- bledon. JING 1S TRYING AGAIN Jing Johnson, who joined the Athletics fresh from college in 1916, is back with the A's for an- other trial, [ the | July 30 (UP)-—Kea PIRATES -Tuemfl’ N ©23 808 (BY BILLY EVANS) The Pittsburgh Pirates, in quest of the National league pennant, may rue the day the club consigned Pitcher Hal Carlson back to the minors with his destination being Wichita Falls, Texas. Ten years ago Carlson joined the Pirates. At the time there was a controversy as to whether he be- longed to the Chicago White Box or Pittsburgh. He was finally awarded to the latter club. For a little more than six years he tarried with the Pirates, showing flashes of real ability at times but having only one year in which he finished better than the .500 mark, and then just one game to the good with 14 victories and 13 defeats, His eamed run average was nothing to brag about, particularly in 1922 when the opposition aver- aged almost six runs per game off his delivery. Possibly that is what caused Pittsburgh to send him to the Texas league early in 1923. A big noise in the Texas league that year with 20 wins and 10 de- feats, the lowly Phillies, in dire need lof pitching strength, declded to gamble with Carlson and drafted him for the season of 1924. ‘With a poor ball club, a tail-ender most of thc time, Carlson enjoyed greater success than he ever did with a much superior club at Pitts- burgh. Last season his record was 17 wins and 12 defeats with a team that finished last with a percentage of only .384. This year when Manager Joe Mec- Carthy of the Chicago Cubs decided that Pitcher Tony Kauffman no longer fitted Into the scheme of things there, he made a Jeal with Philadelphia that brought Carlson to Chicago. He has performed brilliantly since joining his new cluh. In early July of this season when the two clubs met in the first cru- clal series of the year, first place hinging on the outcome, Carlsof was the selection of Manager Joe McCarthy to pitch the opening game. Against the club that four years previous had sent him to the bushes, labeled through as & big leaguer, Carlson won a pitcher's battle, by a one run margin, that gave the Cubs the lead and dropped the Pirates to second place. That one game in the big pinch gave the Cubs an added confldence in their ability and furnished them | with the inspiration that may ulti- | National league pennant. Owner Dreyfus of the Pittsburgh club must suffer much remorse | every time he reads where Carlson has pitched the Cubs to another vie- | tory, which of late has been a most frequent occurrence. Tt would be the {rony of fate if a Pirate cast-oft's super pitching proved a big factor in defeating Pittsburgh {n its pennant quest. Stranger things have happened. PLAN OCEAN RACE | Contest Between Yachts New York | Held | | | | | | | and Santander to Be in | auly, 1928, | Washington, D. C., July 30 (A — | A Spanish-American ocean race be- | tween New York and Santander in | July, 1928, for a cup donated by King Alphonso XIII and supple- nentary trophies by a number of Spanish Yacht clubs, was announced today. | !

New York, July 30 P —There is only one open golf championship to a true Scot, That was learned vesterday when Bobby Jones returned from St. An- drews with a gold medal emblema- tic of his sccond remarkable tri- umph in two years. “The open championship, 1927," read the inscription. Nothing more. On the reverse side was inscribed, “Winner,” with a space for the win- ner's name.

When these teams met before; THREE CONTESTS IN GITY LEAGUE Interest Centers in Gonfest Be- tween Pirates and West Ends League Standing w. Pirates Burritts . Rangers West Ends Speedboys . The City league will resume play this afternoon after a week's lay-off forced by rain. The big Burritt- Pirate game for first place was washed put last Saturday and the two teams this afternoon will enter "the mecond round of play still un- defeated, although both may en- counter serious opposition today. The Pirates will play the West Ends at 2 o'clock on Diamond Nn.l the Pirates won a 13-12 victory aft- er the wildest slugfest of the sea- son. The closeness of this game leaves some doubt as to today's win- ner, and neither team has been go- ing any too well of late. The Pirates have been winning their games, but their showing against the tail-end outfits has not been impressive. The West Ends have shown a decided drop in fielding, but they have had a two weeks' rest and should be primed again. . The likely pitching choices are Al Havlick for the Pirates and Tommy Blanchard for the West Ends. / At 4 o'clock on the same diamond the Burritts will play the Rangers. The latter team gave the cham- pions something to think about be- fore succumbing in their previous eggagement, and they have been playing better ball with each suc- ceeding game. The Burritts have also improved, and they have strengthened their lineup for the second round df play. Johnny Rose or Marion Zaleski will work for the champions and Quarti or Al Ander- son for their opponents. The Speedboys and Tabs will struggle for the cellar on Diamond 0. 2 at 2 o'clock. The former team has been playing pretty fair base- ball but has run into some tough breaks. Tts luck should change pretty soon. The Tabs have been a hopeless proposition all season, but their play has been gradually im- proving and they will be fired today with the ambition of getting out of the cellar. Morse Richtmyer will be boxman for the Rangers, while the Tabs have Joe Massey and Reed .{the lineup has to pick between. At 4 o'clock on Diamond No. 4 there will be a Junior City league game between the Burritts and Col- liers, two of the most promising pennant contenders. FORMER TRACK STAR DIES Chicago, July 30 (® — E. P. Willlams, football and track star at Northwesterp university a decade ago, dled yesterday.

One of the flercest hatties to be fought this season in the Central Connecticut Baseball League will take place tomorrow afternoon at 8 o'clock at Willow Brook park when the Corbin Red Sox of this city clash with the Pexto A. C. team of Southington. Both teams are at fever heat over the game and a bat- tle royal should result from their meeting. The Southington team is coming here with an imposing lineup and despite the fact that it lost its game last Sunday making a sorry showing, been shifted and strengthened and the local club will have its hands full in disposing of the invaders. Just who will pitch in tomorrow's game i8 a question that has not yet been decided by the Pexto manage- ment. Brooks, formerly with the Bristol New Departure team may get the assignment. Walter Berg will probably be the choite of the local club. The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock. Falcons to Play The toughest opposition the Fal- cons will have faced this season is expected here tomorrow in the Three Rivers, Mass., tcam, leaders in the Quobag Valley League. For years this team has been known through- out Connecticut as one of the best teams in the entire Bay State and the lineup this year is as strong as it not” stronger than formerly. The Falcons with Jimmy Green and Alexander, former Fastern Leaguer in the lineup, are set to take the best the Massachusetts team can send in and give back more The team went through a stiff practice last night under the direc- tion of Coach Si Budnick and a great battle is anticipated tomer- row. The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock with Herbie Sautter um- piring. Kensington vs. Derby The All-Kensington team will have one of the best attractions ot the season at the Percival avenue grounds in Kensington tomorrow when Dan Malarney's all-star ag- gregation crosses bats with the Ttalian-American team of Derby. This crew has twice taken the championship of the Naugatuck Val- ley and this season the team is away out in front in the race for honors. The lineup of the teamn contains the names of many stars who have been in the limelight of the diamond for a number of years and O'Hearn, the star pitcher will give the Ken- sington erew plenty of work. Dan Malarney has his crew ail prepared for a tough tussle and with the improved playing of the past few weeks, the Kensingion crew is ready for the best that Derby can send. Either Charlly Yale or Bruno Kania will do the twirling for the home ciyb. The game will start promptly at 2 o'clock with “Ripper” McKeon holding the indicator.
