Reds Cop, 4-0

over the Chicago Cubs before 12,
939 spectators.

to reach frst base against the superb
control ahd curve-ball pitching of
the Redland ace. It was Derringer’s
10th victory, as against seven de
feats, and his second one-hitter
of the season. Stu Martin of the
St. Louis Cards got the only hit
off him last May 26.

The Reds settled the issue in the
first inning. Lew Riggs, subbing
for Bill Werber, who is out with
a sore leg muscle, doubled to left
and Lonnie Frey drew a walk from
Rookie Jake Mooty. Ival Goodman
struck out, then Prank McCormick
smacked a home run over the left
field wall. The other run came in
the fourth, when Harry Craft
walked, went to second on a wild
pitch and scored on Riggs’ single.
Derringer retired the first nine
men to face him. gave his only base
on balls to Hack at the start of
the fourth, then retired pight more
batters before Hack smacked a slow
ball just inside the right-fleid foul
line. Unperturbed by this blow,
Derringer then retired the next 10
men in order, the closest thing to
a hit being Pinch-hitter Dominic
Dallessandro’s liner in the ninth,
which Shortstop Eddie Joost nabbed
with a leaping catch.
Snaps Mooty's Streak.
The defeat was Mooty’s first after
winning five straight.

Phils Rake Paul Dean
For Big Round, Trip
Giants, 8 to 2
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 6.—The New
York Giants slipped six games off
the pace today by bowing to the
bottom-place Philadelphia Phillies,
8-2, while the Brooklyn Dodgers and
the Cincinnati Reds were improving
their positions with shut-out vic
tories.
Walter Kirby Higbe. the chunky
Phillies’ right-hander, was too much
for the Giants, limiting them to six
hits. He now has six victories
against nine losses for the season.
His victim was Paul Dean, who
was knocked out in the seventh
when a fumble by Center Fielder
Johnny Rucker of Art Mahan’s easy
fly started the Phils on a four-run
spree.
Jim Lynn finished, but he was no
great improvement. The Phils got a
total of 12 hits off the two.

appearance in the National City
League this afternoon as unlimited
teams in both sections open their
drive for second-half honors. Each
team added three new players, as
allowed by league rules.
The spotlight, however, will be
focused on the junior division which
is producing one of the fiercest pen
nant arguments in recent years, with
four teams running virtually a dead
heat at this stage. It is anybody’s
race and two close to hazard a guess
as to the outcome.

to lose in a play-off. have signed
"Stump” Talburt, veteran pitcher,

Prout All-Around Ace
In Piedmont League
By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va„ July 6.—Bill
Prout. Richmond first baseman, had
been getting a stranglehold on most
of the assorted honors in the Pied
mont League, but now the big first
sacker has propelled himself right
up among the top rankers by win
ning a second-place tie with Fran
cis Walsh of Rocky Mount at bat
with .349.
His advance was due less to his
own four-point rise than to the
acute pitcher trouble of the fellows
who had been ahead of him.
Incidentally, Jack Sanford of
Charlotte wasn’t among those weak
ening appreciably, and his .377 left
him a comfortable hold on first
place.
Completing the “big five” were
Ernie Horne of Richmond, .348,
and John Pesky of Rocky Mount,
.340.

CHICAGO, July 6. — Hank
Leiber, Chicago Cubs outfielder,
vountarily relinquished his place
on the National League All-Star
team today because of a throat
infection which has kept him
on the bench for almost a month.

able to help the team,’’ Leiber
explained.
Leiber has been taking daily
treatments and hopes to be able

resumed Thursday.'
Fauquier-Loudoun Hot
For Polo Revenge in
3d Cavalry Game
Loser Here Last Sunday,
Four Is Bolstered for
Tilt at Upperville
One of the finest polo games of
the season is expected today, when
3d Cavalry of Fort Myer lines
up against Fauquier-Loudoun at
Goose Creek field, near Upperville,
Va„ at 3:30.
A Red Cross relief fund match,
the game will be the second this
year between the two crack teams,
3d Cavalry having won the first
here last Sunday, 8 to 6, while en
joying a two-goal handicap. To
day's game will find the invaders
having a three-goal handicap, but
with the addition of Robert Clark
to their line-up the hosts believe
they can make amends for their
only loss this season.
Clark, who will journey from New
York for the game, takes the place
of C. V. Cushman, whose goal rat
ing is half of that boasted by Clark.
Each of the four Fauquier-Lou
doun players today, Clark, Henry
Skinker, R. J. Kirkpatrick and Hu
bert Phipps, has a two-goal rating.
Third Cavalry’s is a five-goal outfit
and is composed of Lt. J. N. Polk,
Maj. T. Q. Donaldson, Capt. R. L.
Dewey and Capt. B. S. Cook. Don
aldson, team captain, sports a two
goal rating, while the others are
one-goal men.
Both teams have had success this
year in Southeastern circuit play.
Each has dropped but one game in
five outings and at present is fully
prepared to put forth its best effort.
A crowd of fans from the hunt
country is expected to witness the
game, which may have a strong
bearing on final standings of the
circuit, second only to the powerful
“leagues” in and around New York
City.
Hayes' Double in I Oth
Gets A s 8-7 Win
Over Yankees
Sends In McCoy, Walked
By Hadley; Macks Tie
With Two in Ninth
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, July 6. — A
rousing double by Frankie Hayes
off the left-field screen that scored
Benny McCoy in the tenth inning
gave the Philadelphia A’s an 8-7
victory today over the New York
Yankees.
McCoy and Dick Siebert were on
base when Hayes punched out the
blow. The official scorer at first
decided the blow was a homer and
awarded Philadelphia the game by
a 10-7 margin.
Scoref1 Cuts Down Clout.
Later he changed his mind and
decided that Hayes was to be cred
ited only with a two-base hit—
enough to score McCoy with the
winning run.
The Athletics tied the score at
7-all in the last half of the ninth,
touching Bump Hadley, the losing
pitcher, for two runs. When he
walked McCoy in the tenth he was
replaced by Johnny Murphy.
Bob Johnson then grounded out
and Siebert was purposely passed—
setting the stage for Hayes’ blow.
Bill Beckman, who relieved Buck
Ross at the start of the tenth, was
credited with his first victory of
the year.
Yanks in Home Run Mood.
The Yanks stayed in the ball
game largely through a pair of
homers by Babe Dahlgren and one
by Charley Keller.
