GIANTS SHADE CARDINALS AT BEGINNING OF SERIES New York Team Gets Real Gift From League Leaders —Pirates Take Both Ends of a Double Header %’ From Phillies — Reds Nose Out Boston Braves— Robins Blank Cubs In Tight Game—Red Sox Stop Chicago White Sox and Washington Beats Out | Detroit Tigers. ‘ Iy the Associated Press 1\1 The Giants were unable to with “ ;:. stand the force of their Wrigley - field jinx in Chicago, but as soon as | Totals ° A—Ran for Berg a—Two out in 11th when winuing run “ored. Chicago they set foot in St. Louis, they pro- ceeded to demolish another evil in- fluence equally potent. Until reduced to an unrecognizable hulk by a shameful assault vesterday, the ven- erable Clarence Mitchell, long fam- ed as the only left-handed spitballer in captivity, had been able to throt- tle the Clan McG v by hav- ing his name announced as the pitcher. Even as a Red, Philly, the ancient southpaw won more than his fair share of games from the Giants. With the Cardinals behind him e started out with three in a raw and secmed as if he might never quit. “Then came the turning point yeste day when the New Yorkers shaded the veteran by 3 to 2 in a game which seemied as if it should have ended about 10 to 2 . The Glants threatened Mitchell in rach of the first six innings at Sportsman's park yesterday, but tailed to cash any runs on eight hits. Ironically enough they picked up one in the seventh without even | the suspicion of a safe drive. Andy High's three | wild throw of Andy Reese's grounder and Leslie Mann’s sacrifice fly turned the trick. This unearned run proved the eventual margin by which the Giants | deefated Mitchell, as each side ham- | mered out two authentic markers in a wild elghth round.

The thundering herd of heavyweight prizc fighters is pound. | ing down into view, making more { noise about their individual and col- lective claims for Gene Tunney's vacated title than a mass of thirst- crazy buffaloes hcaded for the desert waterhole. | Warning of the impending stam- | pede came from the plains’ of the | Argentine. It was in the form™ of | |an announcement from Luis Angel | Firpo, “Wild Bull of the Pampa that he would begin training imme- | diately to fight his way into posi- |tion as the outstanding titlc claim- |ant, | Acting by intuition, Tex Rickard, !'master promoter, eccaped to an iso- luted golf course where he will re- main until ‘some sort of order is | | | | the behemoths of biff. Meanwhile those in a position to do a bit of preliminary ballyhooing Here are sam- ples of their thoughts, verbal and written: “Jack Sharkey can beat the best of them. His decision loss to Tom | Heeney was a mere accident. Jack Dempsey had to foul him to beat him.” “Johnny Risko can’t be denied. Didn't Tunncy tay he was a great fighter? “Tommy Toughran is the master boxer among the light heavyweights and heavyweights. He can outbox ‘em as fast as they throw ‘em into the ring.” “Paulino Uzcudun is the best qualified of the lot. He can box and hit and he has color.” “Knute Hansen is the hardest hit- ting heavyweight in the ring today. If he had half as much training as Tom Heeney had preparing for Tun- ney he would be unbeatable.” There the major speculation ends. But there is always food for thought for the wild eyed ones in the ex- pectation that both Firpo and Jack try to come back. This is the idea that fascinates even Rickard.
