EL FASO HERALD SPORT TALKIES By KAY LEWIS TTE distressing hitting slump of Andy Cohen the last two weeks is indicative of the play of the New York team as whole. Andy is having a hard time getting going. His playing in the field is all right, it seems, but his work at the plate lacks fire. He get his eye on the apple. But Andy is a threat and is liable to park one any minute.

That is the way with the Giants. Wallowing along in fourth place, the team constitutes a serious threat and will give somebody a bad beating it not watched. WIN PUTS CUBS IN Bucs Nose Out Reds; Giants in Scramble In National i League Clears With Chicago On Top. ASEBALL fans the country over will be watching the series between the New' York Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics, which starts Friday. They are to play five games in three days.

Games rained out earlier in the season are to be played in addition to the scheduled ones. Much depends on this series. It probably will show the real strength of the Athletics, whether their spectacular playing is just a spurt or the result of a carefully built team. If the Athletics win the series it is a safe bet that they will win the American league pennant. ABE RUTH will be in the game.

That will give the Yanks added strength. Say what you will about the Bambino but as he goes so go the Yankees. If he is in there busting the ball on the nose, the Yanks win. When he i3 out they are not so good. OBBY JONES, the greatest amateur golf player, is in New' York practicing for the open tournament at Marmoneck, N.

next week. From what has been in the papers it seems that Bobby is very anxious win the title this year. He has been practicing hard in Atlanta and forsook his law business to go to New York to get in some practice. He is paying particular attention to his putter, as it Is called. He has been having trouble sinking them.

Bobby may be thinking of the playoff with Johnny Farrell last year which he lost by a hair. Determined as he appears to be this year, professionals and amateurs alike will have to shoot their best. Because when indomitable Jones starts out to win a tournament he generally does just that. National League Won Lost Pet. 3320 .623 Pittsburgrh 3421 .618 St.

HE National league riot struck a new high note of tumult yesterday, and when all the debris bad been cleared away the unruly Cubs were found clinging to the top perch by the margin of their finger nails. The men of McCarthy slammed the Cardinals generously by scores of 7 to 3 and 11.to 3, running their) string over the champions to three straight. The Pirates staved off two Cincinnati rallies to win by 6 to 4 and in company with the Cubs, stepped i to a position one game ahead of the Cardinals, erstwhile leaders. The Bruins and Buccaneers joined hands gaily in one of those but the Chicago entry stood five percentage points forward through the time-honored process of having lost fewer games. The Giants, meanwhile, were winning two from the Phillies, and so reducing the margin between themselves and all the other contenders save the Cubs.

The clan McGraw remained three and one-half games behind the littTff bears, but with the important dif- ference that the little bears had stepped into first place as related, Both of the Chicago victories over the champions of the league were scored more or less by brute strength, but the pitching of Pat Malone in the opener and of Guy Bush in the nightcap was much better than certain recent efforts by Chicago hurlers. Backed by 21 hits, it was, as a matter of fact, much better than was necessary. Willie Sherdel and Bill Hallahan were the victims in the first game and Sylvester Johnson and Fred Frankhouse, in the second, the first named in each instance being the official loser. Hack Wilson celebrated with his 14th home run in the opener; Jim Bottomley with his 13th in the nightcap. Steve Swetonic seemed not to know whot to do with a six run lead in Cincinnati yesterday, and to save himself from heart failure, Donie Bush rushed Carmen Hill to the mound in time to shade the Reds at the finish.

Jack Hendricks offered an assortment of pitchers, starting with Rixey and running through most of the 11-inning opener before finally pulling it out by the back- lot score of 15 to 14. Nine pitchers, real or accused, stepped into the line of fire, which totaled 20 hits for the Phillies and 18 for the Giants. Melvin Ott hit his 16th and 17th home runs, and Chuck Klein of the home team his 18th which tied Hafey for the league lead. The Giants won the second game by 12 to 6. The Boston Braves won a pair from the Brooklyns bv 8 to 4 and 9 to 0.

I he most important action along the American league front was the return of Babe Kuth to active campaigning at the Yankee stadium and Lou Gehrig's 19th home run at the same inclosure. The Yankees defeated the Red Sox, of course, by 13 to 2, and so reduced the margin of the idle Athletics to seven and one- half games, but this questionable success was tempered by the announcement that Henry Johnson would be unable to pitch in the big series against the leaders. Johnson, inactive since June 9, is suffering from a strained back. Detroit defeated Cleveland by 8 to 3 in a six-inning game halted by rain, and the Browns won from tiie hite Sox by 8 to 3 in other meArican league engagements. The Senators and the Athletics were idle.

Nate Cordova, the promoter for the guardsmen, announced that the place will be closed after Walley and Laredo get through mussing each other up. A D0UTHIT IS POPULAR WITH CARDINAL FANS T. LOUIS (AP).

When Taylor Douthit goes after them he gets them. what they say in St. Louis about the great little centerfielder, who is out ahead of most of the major league center gardeners again this year. Douthit has been a central figure in the splendid defensive play of the Red Birds during their remarkable showing of the last four years. The first big league player to make 100 hits in 1928, Douthit finished the season with more assists and putouts combined than any outfielder in either league.

He is gathering them in just as regularly this year and again is helping those celebrated Cardinals make a close pennant race in the National league. Last year Douthit, whose full name is Taylor Lee Douthit, accepted 557 chances. This was 121 more chances than was credited to Earl Combs, king of American league outfielders. Taylor had 547 putouts and 10 assists. His closest competitor for defensive honors among National league outfieldsrs was Lloyd Waner, who made good in 433 chances.

Douthit slumped badly in batting toward the close of 1928, but finished with an average of .295.

Red Grange Will Wear Moleskins Again Next Year Chicago, June 20 Grange, former University of Illinois is to haunt professional football gridirons for the Chicago Bears next season.

Grimes Is Buc Star Great Pitching Is Keeping Pirates In National League Race. Pittsburgh (AP). Burleigh Grimes, spit-ball artist and racehorse proprietor, is the best answer as to why the Pirates are in the feverish National league scramble.

Recording his tenth straight victory in the early part of June, the big right-hander seems w'ell on his way to present Manager Donie Bush a better record than he turned in last when his 25 victories against lefeats ranked him easily at the top of the Pirate pitching staff. In addition to pitching all the way in all his victories this season, Grimes has done his share of relief duty, at times so much as to make Pirate fans wonder if he is getting the necessary amount of rest. How dependent the Pirates are on Grimes was well illustrated in a double-header at St. Louis, May 26, when he took over the hurling near the close of each contest as first Fussel and then Kremer wobbled, pulling both games out of the fire. At the opening of the season when the Pirate mound staff was slow in finding itself, Grimes filled the breach until such hurlers as Kremer, Hill, and Petty began to reach good form and Swetonie, French and Brame were ready for veteran assignments.

Near the mid-way point in June, Grimes had pitched a total of II6V2 innings, almost twice as many as his nearest team rival, Kramer with 62 1-3, during which he had given up 108 hits, had struck out 28 and yielded 32 passes. Paris, June 20 looks like Germany against England in the European zone, final of the 1929 Davis cup campaign. The semi-final ties, one of which got underway yesterday, array the Germans against Czechoslovakia, and England against Hungary. Thus far the Germans have been the sensation of the Davis cup season, although i Czechoslovakia offered a serious I threat in opening match of their tie. Hans Moldenhauer, leader of the German team, is regarded this year as ranking nearest of any European player to the three French Musketeers, Borotra, Lacoste and Cochet.

He won both of his matches against Italy in the quarter-finals, beating Baron Humbert de Mor- purgo, 1928, sensation, in five sets and De Stefani in three. Yesterday he added another straight set triumph, defeating Macenauer of Czechoslovakia by 6-3, 6-4, 8-6. Menzel upset the dope for the Germans by giving Czechoslovakia the second singles match with a five set triumph over Dr. Landemann. The interzone finals are to be played in Paris at the Roland Garros stadium July 17 between the United States and the winner of the European zone final.
