George held the Indians to eight hits and won his eighteenth game of the season against seven losses. Roxle Lawson, a rookie righthander from Terre Haute, made his first big league start for Cincinnati, Aug. 13 UP). The New York Giants staged an uphill struggle today to hold their place in the pennant race and were successful after ten Innings, defeating the Reds, 7 to 6. New York tied the score in the ninth then won in the extra frame when Fred Lindstrom hit a home run over the left field wall after Critz had singled.

Cincinnati, after leading most of the way, put on a rally of its own in the last half of the tenth, bu( scored only one run. The Reds und Bill Walker for three runs In the second inning to take the lead and with Larry Benton pitching a fine game were never threatened until the ninth. In that fiame, two singles, a wild pitch and Wally Roettger's double tied the score. Harry HeiLmann hit a homer for Cincinnati. Earl Mattinohi.

right-handed pitching star of the Asheville, N. Tourists, has been purchased by the Brooklyn Robins and turned over to Macon, for seasoning. Rlattingly will join the Robins next season. Brooklyn, Aug. ,13 OP) Take a glanced at those boys whose pitching has helped the Robins to lose those "sixth place blues" this year and you'll "see Raymond "Babe" Phelps.

It is Phelps" first year In the big show, and his hurling has won him a place on Brooklyn's corps of starting pitchers, but Babe is totally unconcerned about it. In fact he Is oblivious of all the thrills that major league play normally offers to the boys just up from base ball's hinterland. Reticent, almost to a fault, a typical diamond sphinx, Phelps faces the big guns of National league line ups just as nonchalantly as he used to toss 'em for Jacksonville in the Southeastern league. The O'Douls, Waners and Cuylers look like any other batters to him. His indifference, however, didn't stop him from winning seven out of nine games in the first sixteen times he appeared on the mound for the Dodgers.

Only the Cubs defeated him during that time. Late last season, the Robins bought him for $10,000 on the word of Rube Marquard Jacksonville manager, that the Babe was a comer. Phelps was orered to report immediately. But a. call to the majors meant little to Babe, who felt tired at the time and he left for his native Alabama to rest a bit.

After Marquard made a special trip to argue him into reporting, Phelps promised to join the Robins this spring. "Uncle Wilbert" Robinson, who was irked because Babe had failed to show up said his tardy appearance would satisfy if the rookie made good. Seldom does Phelps have a word to say on the playing field. They tell the story that Babe learned his lesson one day in his boyhood, after he and a neighbor buddy had been whittling for hours in silence. "S'gonna rain," remarked Babe along toward nightfall.

"Shut up chatterbox." replied his companion and since then Babe has never tried to force the conversation. GOOSE GOSLIN HAS BIG DAY AT BOSTON 1 rf- i By PAIL MICKELSOX yAssoeiated Press Sports Writer) Chicago. Auk- 13 UP) The pent up fury of Flatbush bats exploded with a crash today and all but Jarred the Cubs from their first place National League pennant mooring. Beaten in their last five starts, the hit-starved Brooklyn Robins hammered five Cub pitchers for eighteen mighty blows and romped away with the second game of the crucial series by the lopsided margin Of 15 to 5, before 37,000 spectators. It was sweet revenge for the Flatbush clan, which had been beaten by the Cubs twelve times in the last sixteen games, and it reduced the Cubs' grip on first place to a shaky pair of percentage points.

Today's battle was a ball game for but seven innings, at that juncture, the Robins led to 4 but the Cubs threatened, then came the eighth nd the Robins bunched three more hits with a walk and a sacrifice to core three more runs and squelch Cub hopes. Score Six in the Ninth Then in the ninth, they cake-walked home with six more tallies because of comical pitching and upport that reminded the fans of Philadelphia and a certain world eries game last fall. The last inning scoring splurge, netted by four walks and three singles that might have been stopped, sent most of the epectators home and polished off the worst rout the Cubs have suffered this season. Walter Gilbert, "Blistering Babe" Herman and Alfonzo Lopez led the big Brooklyn attack while Ray Moss came in as a relief pitcher in the eixth and kept the Cub hits well ecattered. Gilbert rammed out two doubles and two singles in five trips to the plate; Herman rapped out a double and a single, walked twice and got to first on an error while Lopez's contributions were three singles and a double.

Bat Bush Off Mound They rocked Guy Bush off the tnound with five hits and five runs. In the fourth, Gilbert singled and Herman sent him home with the Bixth run with a double. The Cubs came back to score three runs and make a ball game out of it for a while. Hack Wilson led off with his fortieth homer of the season. To-day's crowd brought the total attendance so far for the series to 32,000.

The series record or 140,000, established the last time the Robins were at Wrigley Field, was expected to be broken. rl A. Li. Lewis, Kingston gunner, who was high man at the Susquehanna Trapshooters' League event yesterday. A.

SENATORS 0UTHIT BUT BEAT CHICAGO Washington; Aug. 13 OP). The Senators made it two straight over Chicago today by winning a game 7 to 4, in which they were outhit fourteen to eleven. Braxton started out for the White Sox, but was not effective and Washington scored two runs in the first and three in the second before Henry took up the burden. Henry was re tired in the eighth inning in tavor of a pinch hitter and Thomas finished it.

Last season Hack was a hero. He was a tower of strength in the Chicago Cubs' outfield and at bat. He was one of the biggest factors in the trlumhant Bruin dash for the Windy City's first National league pennant since 1918.

Then came the world t-'eries and a crucial game. The Athletics had won two games and the Cabs one. In the eighth inning of the fourth game the Cubs were leading, eight runs to one, when Bing Miller came to bat after a single by Jimmy Foxx. Al Simmons, first man up in the frame, had smashed a home run. Miller sent a high looping fly to Wilson.

The sphere traveled up and sun. Blinded, he missed the catch, was lost to Hack in Ihe glare of the sun. Blinded he missed the catch. With two men on base Jimmy Dykes singled, scoring Foxx. Then began one of the most amazing batting assaults baseball has ever seen.

After the smoke had cleared away tne Indiana and was effective until a two-base muff by Dick Portei paved' the way for two runs In the sixth inning that broke a 1-1 tie. Bib Palk scored Cleveland's firs', run with a homer In the fifth in ning. Score CLEVELAND PHILADELPHIA ab.r.h. o.a. ah.r.h.

The Yankees got off to a fast start today, picking up ten runs In the first five innings, and made it two straight over the Detroit Tigers by a 10 to 8 score. They needed every bit of their early lead to win as George Plpgras, after pitching shutout ball for five innings, blew up in the sixth and his successors did little better.

The Tigers piled up six runs off Pipgras in the sixth and assaulted Ruffing and Holloway for two more In the seventh before Lou McEvoy finally checked them. The Tigers made only seven hits but made good use of walks and errors. Earl Combs did the heavy stick- work for the Yankees against four Tiger moundsmen. He drove in four runs with three hits, one of which was a home run. score DETROIT NEW YORK ab.r.h.

A PACTofcuTAe cues' drive for.a SCCOrOO WATlOWAU and the inning was over it was seen that ten runs had been scored. That game was virtually over. The victory gave the A's a tremendous edge on the series, which they eventually won the next day. The storm broke over Wilson's head. He was the goat of the series and it was predicted that Wilson would have to stand terrific kidding this season and some doubted whether he could survive the boos that were sure to be his just because lie missed a fly ball that any other fielder would have failed to catch.

However, the folks didn't know Hack. He Is made of sterner stuff. His rugged physique gives you an idea how tough it is to rattle him. At the start of the current season, sure enough, Hack was made the object of a lot of fun by the fans. But he went about his business like the true trouper he Is.

To-day the ball and sun incident is more or less forgotten and Hack is again the hero of Chicago, one of the leading home run hitters of the National league, a star batsman, a fine fielder and one of the strongest and best players in the Cub lineup. Thus has Hack Wilson become one of the very few players who by sheer determination and sticking to his task have lived donw a reputation for committing a disastrous error. but not witfh percentages. Sharkey has been offered a flat guarantee of $125,000 but wants $100,000 and a privilege of 30 per cent, of the gate receipts. Malloy wishes to give him only 25 per cent.

Carnera already has given Malloy an option on his services. Meanwhile Madison Square Garden promoters attempted to interest Sharkey's manager in a September match with Victorio Campolo and negotiated with "Pa" Stribling, manager of Young Stribling, for a match this winter. "Pa" said thi MaCTm youngster will be out of art ion six months, wit a bruised left hand.

Goslin drove in four runs to aid Pitcher Walter Stewart. In the seventh Goslin drove a homer into the right field pavilion with Stewart on base and one of his two singles scored two mates in the ninth. A leaping catch of a Goslin drive In the first by Earl Webb robbed the Goose of another sure homer.

Lou went hitless three times and dropped three points to .384.

Aug. 13 UP). Uncorking plenty of hittingpower at the critical moments, the Toronto Maple Leafs made off with the second and final game of their series with the Jersey City Skeeters tonight at West Side Park by a score of 11 to 2 before a crowd of 3,000 most of which were ladies, the night being reserved for the wealrer sex. Jess Bream started on the hill for the Skeeters but didn't last long enough to get warmed up, the Leafs jumping on his serves for six solid hits in the second round that netted them five big markers, enough to put the old ball game in the satchel right then and there. He was followed in order by Guise and Hopkins, neither could check the Leafs who were on a rampage.

Call and inspect this exceptional Plans are now being completed for the Scranton city tennis tournament to be played on the Scranton Tennis Club courts August 16-24, inclusive. This tournament, carrying with it the men's singles and doubles championship has held a prominent place in annals of the game for seventeen years, antedating all other open tournaments. Considerable interest was added to the tournament two years ago when the beautiful sterling silver doubles cups were donated by Worthington Scranton and the silver tray by Robert McClave as singles trophy, both to go permanently to first three-time winners.

The winner of the McClave trophy in 1928 was Ralph Robison of Scranton, and in 1929 Bert Hammel of Ocean City, N. J. The Scranton trophies were won in 1928 by Edward Claus and Carl Walter, and in 1929 by Bert Hammel and Myers, his team mate from New York City.
