Grimes and Uhle Seeking to Better
Rube s Mark of 19 Successive Wins
If a ffir more victori'-s are forthco minng. Burlegh Grimes and George l hie may be considered as
threatening the major league record of 19 straight set by Rube Marquard.
By JAY VESSELS j
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK, June 8.——It's
just loo bad for the clubs that have |
to face George Uhle and Burleigh
Grimes nowadays.
And now that they survived the
cold weather and have reached the
correct pitching temperature it
looks like a long dismal tummer for
the ambitious batsmen prowling
about the National and American
! leagues
With weather that doesn't requ.re
extra flannels to get up pttchme ;
steam prevailing. George and Bur-!
leigh can start shooting any rme
now at the record of 19 consecutive
triumphs set by George Marquerd.
Uhle stowed away his first nine
games, w hile Grimes rark-’d up eight
games in a row Both had zero rat-'
mgs in their loss columns. This was
the situation June 1.
Grimes missed his ninth straight
win by a hair. He tossed the clos
ing 3 1-3 inn.ngs in a recent Pirate
triumph. The victory officially was
credited to the man Grimes relieved,
but this decision was so close that
the burly buccaneer may get the
credit yet.
There has been nothing soft about!
the streaks oi the Detroit and Pitts
burgh sharpshooters. They have
been been beating the strong teams j
as well as the weak ones. Just half
of Grimes’ eight victories came
against the Cubs, a senior circuit j
pennant tavorite. Of Uhle’s string !
of nine, three were registered
against the Browns, a team that has
been up there all season.
P.tchmg for fighting clubs.
Grimes and Uliic have not exactly
been at a disadvantage. The Pi
rates. engaged in a spurt to the top.
played great ball behind Burleigh
And the Tigers' heavy hitting has
been equally helpful to Uhle in his
drive to new fame.
Burleigh, with 12 National league
reasons behind him. and Uhle. a
veteran of 10 American league cam
paigns, are perfect pitching speci
mens. They have memorized the
weaknesses of the batters they have
to face and they have the ability
and courage to stay in the box and
pitch that ball where it will suffer
the least damage.
Indians Sock Way

day or two.
DISCUS CHAMP?

Ed Moeller of the University of
Oregon, holds the new worlds
record in the discus, provided
his recent toss of 160 feet 1 7-10
inches in a meet with the Uni
versity of Washington is offi
cially recognized. Eric Krenz of
Stanford, torsed the platter 163

relays, but it is believed his
mark will not stand as the dis
cuss is said to have been under
weight.

Ten in One Frame
Bu* yesterday the down-staters
outdid themselves, both individually
and collectively, m the course of
their 23 to 3 victory over the Waro
Cubs Their tally sheet for the day
probably will stand ud the remain
der of the season, and their 10 runs
m the opening chapter, mostly at
the expense of the Cubs' ace. Earl
Caldwell, takes second honors in
that respect.
Yesterday’s victory planted the
Indians only on'* game behind the
Pratt men in third place, with the
opportunity to tie the Bruins by
winning t-rfay. it looks r.s if New
nam hrs a pennant threat alter
all.
Meanwhile, the champion Hous
ton Buffaloes are cnsconsed in the
basement today as the result of a
hearty thumping. 15 to 9. at Beau- i

NEW YORK. June 8-,P
Lying in a sick-bed. George Her

A victim of “muscular heart {
trouble." the home run slugger of
the New York Yankees will be out !
of the game for an indefinite pe
riod. !
The more optimistic of Ruth’s 1
intimates said he would be back
in the Yankees’ lineup within a

mistic inclined to the belief that
Ruth would not don his uniform
again for a month and a half at
least, and possibly for the rest of
the season.
Mrs Ruth said the only serious

thing about her husband's nines,
that he must obey his doctor's or

Associated Press Sports Writer
The proceedings at Shlbe park yesterday fell far short of being an
Athletic holiday, but the antic:; of the Browns d.d enable several of the
tench hands air.cn„ the pitchers to get a few moments in the sun. The
St Louisans dubbed Ehmke. Orwoll, Quinn. Rommel and Yerkes for 18
hits to win. 15 to 6. but as the Yankeees lest, the cost to the Athletics
v.as negligible
The Indians defeated the Yan-’*'
kc:s by mnmnr up a o.g early lead
and hold m ii to win. 7 to 3. Joe
Sewc.ll and Morgan raked Ed Wells
lor home runs in the fuv. when
lour run wr' sc red a id another
flurry for tore? markers ended the
reign ol the wild southpaw in the
fifth.
The Yankees iiave won but one
of their fi*e games against the In-'
dians this season, mvl the s is pic ion
grows in the cast that Pcckmpaugh's
team was greatly under-rated.
Washington fans saw a coilapse
of two pitching staffs in the same
park when the Tigers rallied for
nine runs in the last two innings
to defeat the Senators. 17 to 11. De
troit required 23 hits for its 17 runs
but the home forces scored 11 times
on only 10 safeties.
The White Sox-Red Sox game at
Bocton was postponed on account
of rain
The Giants continued their spurt
at the expense of the Cardinals,
winning the final game by 3 to 1
behind Carl Hubbell's fine pitching
to clean up the series of three en
gagements.
The Pirates prevented the Giants
from cutting down the margin be
tween first place and fourth, win
ning again from the Braves by 6
to 2. This gave the Dues a clean-up
of the series of two.
Donald Hurst hit his tenth hom-’r
at Cincinnati, but his wild throw m
the eleventh with a double-play in
