CHARLIE ROOT
CHICAGO, June 3.—<JP>—Charlie
Root, who had ft poor season in
1928 aftrt- winning 26 games in 1927.
is showing oid time form for the
Cubs this year.
He won five of his first six games.
He lost his first one because he had
the bad luck of having to face Bur
leigh Grimes on one of the latter's
unbeatable days. Then Charlie
stepped out and captured five vic
tories in a row.
Root's comeback gives the Cubs
two of the best speed ball hurlers
in the game. The other one is Pat I
Malone, who won six straight be
fore losing a game.
CHIROPODIST DELIGHT
NEARING MIAMI, ARIZ.
BYLAS. Ariz . June 3.—At
the end of the 60-mile lay to Miami
today, the 19 surviving runners in
the Pyle cross country race will have
only 554 miles to cover in tw-o weeks
to reach Los Angeles. To date the
bunioncers have traveled 2,920.4
miles.
Jobptnv Salo. Passaie. V. J. had
• lfiyl of 16 minutes, 49 seconds over |
Pei«%^avuzzi of England a; today's
start.
w hile both the Sports and Cubs were
undergoing double lickings. Thus
the expensive Dallas machine vault
ed up a full game from the Louisi
ana entry and a game and a half
from Waco.
If they can maintain their present
pace, the Steers will be extremely
hard to dislodge from the top of the
heap. A survey of their plav for the
last month reveals that Milt Stock's
well balanced crew has been rolling
along at about a .750 pace, which is
winning baseball in any man's
league.
Today the Steers open a series;
with the troublesome Spudders up at
Wichita Falls, while the Sports are
engaging the Cats in Fort Worth
Waco is in Houston for a trio of
contests and the Exporters are vis
iting Pat Newnam's Redskins at>
San Antonio, off hand, one would
say the Cubs have slightly the more
pleasant outlook. Houston is hav
ing much difficulty beating anybody
pending the arrival of expected re
inforcements.
Poor pitching cost the Shreve
norters their double loss at Wichita
Falls. 7 to 5 and 9 to 4. Browrn.
Williamson and Thompson were na-.
raded by Art Phelan in the first;
contest, none doing any particular
good, and Estrada and Thompson
worked the nightcap with similar
success.
San Antonio made a clean sweep
of Its series with Waco by copping
a duo. 3 to 1 and 7 to 6. The tribe
went up Into fifth place, just a game
behind the lagging Panthers.
Tom Estill. Beaumont's moist ball
artist, gave another fine perform
UN in blanking the Buffs. 12 to 0
in their own back yard.
French Net Title
Again Captured By
Helen Wills Play
PARIS. June 3.—<&—Helen Wil’s
again has demonstrated her right
to sit on the throne as queen of
the world's tennis courts.
She won the women's singles
chamicnship of the French hard
court tournament yesterday by de
feating the No. 1 ranking player
of France. Mmr. Rene Mathieu. 6
3. fi-4. in the final round.
The American girl’s vletorv not
only gave her the French title for
the second year in succession but I
showed clearlv at the same time
th*>t she ranks in a class by her- '
self among women tennis players.
Mme. Mathieu nut tin a plucky
fight but whenever there was need
to apolv pressure Miss Wills clearly
demonstrated her superiority.
