Pirates. By the Amociated Press. The lead of the Athletics seems to grow almost by magic, but Na- tional League contenders continue | to butt their heads against one an- other, with no particular gain for anybody while the Pirates were los- ing and the Giants winning In John Heydler's circuit yesterday, the Mackmen were eleaning up their fourth straight from the defenseless Red Sox and the Yankees were di- viding a pair at Washington. These antics combined tg place the Athletics at a point ten and on= halt games in advance of the cham- Pl which is not fit state of af- fairs If you ask the business man- agers, The leaders and the runners. up are to open a three-game series against each other in Philadelphi today, and singers of the ballyhon are pressed hard to discover any- thing the least bit crucial about it. True, it may be just a wee bit crucial for the Yanks, who must take three straight to preserve even the semblance of a race in the Ames ican League, but for the happy Ath- letics it is just another set of ball games. Mr. McGillicuddy would be very well satisfied with two victor- ies in the three days, and could even 10se the odd game in threc and no sleep. One hopeful note for the cham- pions. atood out 1n their even break at Griffith Stadium. Herb Pennocii pitched his second complete game of the season in winning the opener by 7 to 0, and gave Washington but seven hits. A few more games from Pennock like that would make a large difference in the net results of the Yankee eeason, regardliess of the position at the finish. Just when the Yanks were gloating over their £00d luck, Washington won the sec- ond game, ¢ to 3. Babe Ruth rapped Fred Marberry for his thirteenth home run in the fitth round of the opener witn Gehrig on base, and Lazserl anaq Meusel made brave gestures aganst Lloyd Brown with a homer aplecs in the final round of the nightcap, just falling to tie the score. The Athletics varied theirr pro- gram somewhat by playing a crose one with the Red Sox. The Boaton. ese, as & matter of fact, outhit the Macks by 11 to 8, but the leaders cashed in on runs by 6 to 5. Milton Gasten pitched another good game, but the Messrs. Earnshaw and Rom. mel wegs nething extra. Yerkes saved ‘when. the Red Sox ran riot ninth. The contest produced home runs for Ken Williams and Jimmy Foxz. Bing Mtller hit ;safely. runing his| streak to twenty-seven games. The Browns defeated Cleveland by 6 to 3, with the Yankees for second place, ‘The White Sox rallied in the ninth to defeat the Tigers at Detroit by 5tod. The Giants finally pulled one game from the Brooklyn fire, arier the Robins had taken three in tne series, the pulling was done by 3 to 2 in eleven innings at the expense of Dassy Vance. Carl Mays was put out of the game, with nobody out in the fourth and the bases filled for protesting a decision at the plate. Jack Scett, coming in cold, took up _ the battle with Vance. He not only held the Robins te two hits in eight rounds, but himsel? drove home the winning run. 3 t Game) NEW YOKRK ] Combs, cf Robertson, Gehrig, 1h Ruth, rf Durst, rf Lazzerl, b Meusal, 1f Dickey, ¢ Durocher, ss Pennack, b sumox lennow Slomwne alomzss NG’ ] ] cccmmex & 52 o sox Geslin, 1t Flagaead.

London, June 27 (M—The roars of] delight which greeted Bunny Aus- tin's victory over Jacques Brugnon at Wimbledon yesterday were echoed in print by the tennis experts in the morning papers. The English tennis fans, indeed, are getting quite excit- {ed over the prospect of having a champion or even a finalist in Aus. tin. They have become 80 accustom- ed to seeing foreignera smash their favorites that such conquests as that of Austin over the Frenchman and of Sharpe over Baron De Morpurgo seem 100 good to be true. Austin's success seems at variance with his slight frail appearance, but his skill is unquestionable. One critic maintains that if he had a better service he would be the world’s champion.

SIDLER (Associated Press Sports Writer) Los Angeles, June 27 UP—7nz inimitable Charley Paddock will not permit the word “finis” to be written on his cinderpath career— yet. ‘When it seemed the blonde sprint veteran had hung up his splkes for all tim, he broke the announcemenc that he would run in the sprint re- lays at the National A. A. U. cham- pionships at Denver, July 3 to 5. He will compete for the Los Ane geles Athletic club, Paddock, whose dash range over a period of some 15 years, believes he still has some good races in his famous legs. He does not intend to run any more open dashes, however, planning rather to utilize in the relay evenis the cxperience of his many years of racing. Many an old time sprinter, dun to experience, can pass up a newiy publicized star in a relay race, and it is here that Paddock intends to spring his 1929 “comeback.” Char ley has been a member of several Olympic games' relay teams, and his experience in the baton event dates back to 1916. Time may have taken toll of his pumping legs, but is doubtful whether he has alto- gether lost the great drive with which he frequently was asle to cover 100 yards in 8 4-5 scconds, with & running start. Paddock has hopes against Jackson Scholtz, like him- selt a member of three Olympie teams, on the Denver stadium oval. 8choltz llu will be making a * running the relays witn the New York Athletic club quartet. It might be said that the eastern star's announced return to tme track apurred Paddock to aiso stage a “comeback.” Chgrley is Scholtz’s senior in experience, having ween running twe years longer. In his 15 years of sprinting, Pad- dock has cracked scores ot records, and many of them still remain in his name. Unofficially and offictary he has equalled the recogaizea world's record for tae cemrury— 93-5 seconds—eight times £en 1916. In & race here mn 1928, Pat- dock was timed in 9.5 seconds, but the mark was blue penciled bacausc of the non-use of tenth second watches hy the A. A. U.

AMATEUR BOUTS Exccllent Card of Fights to Be staged Tonight At Capitol Park in Hartford. Hartford's entries in the fourth weckly set of amateur bouts to be held in the Capitol Park Arepa to. night, include a number of the best known local amateur fighters, Head- ing the list is Johnny Byra who meets one of the New York team of boxers, probably Joey Koslow, a tough lad who recently appeared in the Golden Gloves tournament in Madison Square Garden. Koslow was defcated in the finals only after going four rounds to drop a decision that could have beon awarded to either boxer, This boy has never appeared in this state and the bout between Byra and him should prove to be one of the head- liners of the all-star card of. ten bouts. Frankie Nichols &s. man. tioned previously in these columins will take on the scnsational August Ferdinandus, colored welterweight. The other bouts will be between the crack New Haven and New York teams with enough boys fromn our section of tha woods, namely Hartford and Bristo] teams to make matters interesting.

A, 1 8equins . 1 Holy Cross Jrs, . 3 Concentrating its batting attack in the second and eighth innings, the American Legion baseball team cmerged victorious for the second succeasive time in a City Junier league game played at Walnut Hill park last evening. The Colliers, who had won their first start in the junior gircuit last week, were the victims of Coach Larry 's charges. When the amoke of battle had cleared away, the score stood 12 to ¢ with the Legionnaires on the long end. Both teams settled down after & Legion splurge in the second session and the game, was closely contested. Hits were scarce throughout the nine innings but those that were made were of a timely nature. Zembke, who took up the pitching burden for the losers after A. Curlyo was driven to the showers in the second canto, gave-a masterful hurling exhibition until the last halt of the eighth when the winners once more burst forth, this time for a quartet of tallies. 8am Capodice, ex-Rotary league star, was on the hill for the Man- ganmen and although he was touched for nine safeties, he tight. ened at critical moments and was never in danger. A fast breaking curve had the Collier batsmen swinging wildly and eleven were set back on strikes. There was little action in the opening inning. Jason, lead-off man for the Colliers doubled but he was caught at the platte shertly after when he tried to sacore on a hit to the pitcher's box. The Legion outfit was retired in order in its half of the inning. _After the Col- liers were retired in the second cante, the winners' offensive opened in the last halt of this session and four hits, including a triple by Flood and a double by J. Curlye, a pair of free tickets and several errors accounted for seven runa When the sixth run had crossed the plate A. Curlyo was lifted in faver of Zembke who allowed one run be- fore the side was retired. The losers broke into the scoring column in the fourth inning wh they countered on two occasions by means of a pair of one-base blews and a dropped third strike, The Legion came back in the following inning and scored a single tally on a walk, a single and a passed ball. The only stage of the game in which the losers appeared to be dangerous was in the eighth inning after they had tallied a single run in the aixth. In the former session, a home._run drive by Florkowaki with & team mate en base account. ed for two runs and brought the Colliers te within striking distance v' the winners. From the time that Zembke had enlered the bex in the secend in. ning until the seventh, he allowed but ene hit. However, he slipped hadly in the eighth and singles by Baylock, O'Rrien and Zembroski and three errors resulted in four mere Legion runs and settled the issue. The stickwork of Zembroski and Florkowsky and the flelding of J. Curlye and A. Zulke were features. A bit of humer was added to the semewhat dull game when A.
