This mad dash of the Pirates has carried them past the last barrier, leaving the Buccaneers on even terms with the Cubs who now invade Pittsburgh to fight for the lead in & three game holiday series. Climax- ing a sensational month in which Pittsburgh has moved at a gait just better than .750, young Ervin Brame led the Pirates to a 5 to 2 triumph over Clarence Mitchell and the Cardipals in St. Louis yesterday as the Cubs lay idle in a Cincinnati vainstorm.

The sent sprawling flat on his back by the deaf mute's powerful right. He in turn, dropped Mahan three times. Mahan crumpled to under terrific punishment in the referee’s count. Mahan was carried from the ring. In the opening round Mahan land- ed to Callahan's jaw with one of his thudding rights, and the champion landed on his back, but bounded to his feet without a count and fought off the challenger. His boxing in the later part of the round earned the titleholder an even break in the ses- sion. Shortly after the second round opened, Callahan tumbled the deaf mute through the ropes with a right to the jaw. Mahan took a count of nine, Mushy tried hard to finish the fight then but Mahan was at him with an overhand right that sent Callahan sprawling in his corner. Anoher nine count was taken by Mahan near the close of the second but it was more for a brief breath- ing spell, and he returned savagely. |SONNENBERG IS STILL CHAMPION King of the Mat Refains Title Against Marin Plestina Boston, May 29 (P—Gus Sonnen- berg still ruled the hcavyweight wrestling roost today after one of the most torrid matches of his ca- reer, and Martin Plestina, giant Chi- cago “trust buster,” who had c 1|lenged every champion for the past 10 years, was just another con- (. |tender. They met in the arena here last night. Twelve thousand customers, 4.000 of whom stood nearly four sweltering hours on the hottest May 28, in the history of the local weath- er bureau, saw the former Dart- mouth football player nail his man in successive falls but only after the Italian had taken all Sonnen- berg could offer, excepting only his celebrated and seemingly invincible flying tackle. The match required nearly an hour of terrific wrestling. Plestina, who outweighed the champion by almost 50 pounds, proved by far the most dangerous of the 60 odd op- ponents Sonnenberg had met since he lifted the title from Ed “Strang- ler” Lewis five months ago. His most effective hold was vise- like headlock. He punished Son- nenberg time and time again anl during much of the time preceding the first fall the champion was nev- er out of danger. In the final five minutes of the 45 minutes requir:d to reach a decision, Plestina tired perceptibly. The second fall required only 10 minutes and four seconds but was featured by a rush by Sonnenberg that carried the older man out of the ring. Plestina landed on tne bottom and was badly shaken. He had to be lifted back by his seconds and quickly succumbed to the inevi- table tackle. Purchases Race Horse For Sum of $20,000 New York, May 29 (#—Mrs. R.

Louis Heavyweight Beats Raiph Ficucello in Extra Round Chicage, May 3% UP—A huge youngster with a powerful right hand, John Schwake of St. Louis, owned another amateur heavyweight title today, by virtue of a surprise victory over Ralph Ficucello, New York, senior A. A. U. champion, last night in the Chicago Stadium inter- national tournament. Schwake, holder.of the junior A. A. U. title, beat the New Yorker by making round, after having recovered ground lost in the second ‘and third rounds. The light heavyweight title was carried back to Grand Rapids, Mich., by Martin Levandowski, who handed Harry Allen, Boston, a terrific beat- ing in the three round final. Allen was on the canvas as the final bell sounded. Two Ifttle fellows, Paris Apice of By BOB MATHERNE « (NEA Service Sports Writer) ‘When a player has approached his 10th season in the major leagues, it may be assumed, with all fairness intended, that he is nearing the end of his career. It may be noticed that there are comparatively few regular perform- ers who have been in there day in and day out for more than 10 sea- sons. The observation seems especially reveals that only Walter Gerber of the Red Sox, Dave Bancroft of the Robins and Rabbit Maranville of the Braves are campaigners of more than a decade. And it isn't a dirty crack to say that they're about through. .o 1t was whispered during the 1928 campaign that little Joe Sewell. who was in his ninth campaign for the Cleveland Indians, was slipping. It was said that those short, stocky legs which had carted Sewell around through & streak of 938 successive games were slowing up. that many base hits were being made around Sewell which a few years back, he might have fielded for outs. There was nothing wrong with his batting, mind you, but—well, a faster man at shortstop seemed nec- essary. 1t seemed, according to the gab, that Sewell was nearing the end— but that was in 1928 and before the little Alabama whammer was shifted from shortstop to third base in the rebuilding process of the Indians under the new millionaire owners. PR Joe likes third hase. Enough to say that he wishes he had been play- ing it all his career. It isn't that he believes third base easier o play than shortstop for he doesn’t compare the two spois ex- cept in this way: “They're both hard!" And there seems new life in him With less territory to guard at his left, he is showing flashy form in going to his right and is in on slow- ly hit balls. And he has been field- around the American league circuit and caused the prediction to be made that the Indians won't nead to worry about a third baseman for a | few more years. “ .. With the new life in the majors gained from the shift, there exists a reasonable possibility that Sewell will break the record of Everett| Scott for play in consecutive games. Scott, when he was taken out of {the lineup on May 5. 1925, had play- ed in 1307 consecutive games. Sewell, when he started the 1029 season, had ©38 to his credit He usually averages more than 150 a season, so it may be assumed, {now that he is going great at third | base, that he will be in there every day for the Indians in the next three seasons. And the scason of 1931, if he is in there every da:. should see a new champion for successive da: 1of play.

Both of these athletic attractions will be on out-of-town ficlds. The only game to be played in this city for the remainder of the baseball schedule will be against Hartford High at Willow Brook park Monday afternoon. The last game of the sea- son will be against the New Haven Hilthouse High school nine in the EIm City a week from Saturday. Coach Cassidy will probably start the same lineup that for the greater part of the St. Thomas' Seminary game played a stellar brand of base- ball. “Hermy" Schmarr has been pitching well all season and the team will go into the games determined to win for him. Coach Lionel Depot is confident after the track team’'s wonderful showing that it will take the Water- bury team into camp. If he had one or two athletes who were ineligible last week, he said, his team would and New Haven Hillhouse in the Triangular meet last Saturday. Approximately 2.000 inhabitants Providence, R. 1., and Frankie Wal- lace of Cleveland, also added titles to their holdings. Apice junior champion, took away the flyweight title by defeating Malcolm Mathie- son of Toronto, Canadian cham- pion, in three hot rounds and Wal lace, another junior A. A. U. title- holder became bantamweight king by outpointing Don Gonzales, also of Cleveland, in a tame third rounder. Joe Mack of New York, was forc. ed to go an extra round to win the 160-pound championship from Ray Tramble, of Rockford, Ill,, and Tony Deluci, Pittaburgh, required anuther session in which he outpointed John- ny Judd, Cleveland, for the welter- weight prize. ‘Wilfred Caruful, an angular light- weight from Montreal, gave Canada its only title. Caruful was given a hard battle by Joe Portek of Cleve- land, but finished fast to gain the decision. ‘The 122 pound final produced Chicago's lone titleholder when Barney Roms gave Stanley Knatek of New York, a sound beating. Ross knocked Knatek down twice and had him groggy at the finish of the bout. The tournament was sanctioned by the amateur bodies of the United States and Canada.

Landers won by the score of 6 to 5§, the winning run being scored in the last of the ninth with none out. The Stanley Works started off with two runs in the first inning. Landers got one in the second but the Butt Makers added two more in the third and another in the sixth. Until the seventh inning, the lucky seventh for the Universals, 8alak, in the box for the champs, held the Landers batters eating out of his hand. Then the storm broke and the Universals tied the count with a rally that brought in four runs. ‘The game was weird and punc- tured by brilliant and erratic field. h team benefited by the given it through ‘blobs, strange ones at that, by the oppos- ing teams.
