The champions were accommodated by nobody but the Phillies, who oblig ingly dropped twenty out of twen ty-two to St. Louis last year. Jess Haines made as if to slip a fast one past Charlie Klein, first Philadelphia batsman in the ninth inning, after Master Klein had re fused to bite at two wide hooks. The fast one was just to Klein’s liking, and he drove it high over the right field wall of Baker bowl to give the Phils a 10 to 9 decision. It was his twentieth home run, and enabled him to keep pace with Chick Hafey of St. Louis, who pick ed up his own twentieth earlier in the game. Bottomley and Whitney were other home run hitters. The defeat left the Cardinals sagging at the bottom of the first division, only three games ahead of an improved Brooklyn team. The reverse marked the sixteenth for St. Louis in the last eighteen games. Reds vs. Giants The Cardinals will remain in Philadelphia for a full series, and the Cubs will invade the citadel of the Braves today, but the rest of the intersectional openings will be delayed until tomorrow. The Reds, who hold the Giants in no awe, will come to the Polo Grounds for two games on the Sabbath after a farewell brush with Pittsburgh to day, and the fast-moving Pirates will settle themselves at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn will entertain at the Polo Grounds today. As the Pirates and the Cubs give each other heart failure in# the dash toward the National league stretch, Cornelius McGillicuddy moves serenely toward his seventh flag with his two nearest rivals, the Yankees and the Browns, nine and one-half games to the rear. The Mackmen open a series at Chi cago today as the Yankees and the Browns begin a fight to see which shall hold second place for the mo ment. The Indians turned back the White Sox by 11 to 10 in a groggy game at Cleveland yesterday prior to the arrival of Boston in Cleve land and of Washington in Detroit for two stirring series. The victory gave the Indians an edge of four games to two in the extended holi day engagement. - _ FORD LISTS SAFETY RULES Motorists Told Not to Take Right-of-Way Too Seriously As a contribution towards greater safety and more pleasant driving conditions on the highways of the country this summer, the Ford Mo tor Company has listed twelve rules as suggestions to motorists and has distributed them to dealers over the country. Announcement of the suggestions was made today by Drew Patteson. Ford dealer in this city, who will display the list prominently in his place of business. “These rules,” said Mr. Patteson, “are merely common sense as ap plied to automobile driving. Every experienced motorist knows all of them. It is our hope, however, that by stating them concisely and post ing them where they will come to the attention of a great many mo torists. we can so emphasize them as to make a real contribution to wards greater highway safety.” The twelve rules are: Courtesy comes first. Consider the rights and privileges of others. Keep your mind on your driving, and anticipate sudden emergencies. Learn the “feel” of having your car under control. Obey all traffic and parking regulations. Keep to the right, and comply with road markings and signs. Signal for stops and turns— Watch the car ahead. Siow down at crossings, schools, dangerous places. " Never pass cars on hills, curves, crossings. Adapt your driving to road condi tions—rain, ice, soft spots and ruts. It doesn’t pay to take the “right of way” to seriously. When you drive, remember the times when you’re a pedestrian. Know the law. It was passed for your protection. “It is estimated that 20,000,000 persons will tour on American high ways this summer,” Mr. Patteson continued. “Recognition of the rights of others will be essential. Many unpleasantries and accidents will be avoided if motorists, at times of close situations, will recall these rules and act accordingly. They are the recommendations of the Ford Motor .company offered to give greater peace of mind to those who tra««l by automobile.” ST. LOUIS BUSINESS MAN DIES IN FALL VANALIA, 111., July 6.—(A>)—Wil liam J. Chaudet. 38. president of the General Brake Service Corp., of St. Louis, was killed yesterday when a monoplane he was trying out went into a tail spin and fell at St. Elmo flying field near here. The accident was witnessed by Chaudet’s wife and their 6-year-old daughter. Chaudet was granted a govern ment pilot’s license about 18 months ago, INDIANS LEAD TEXAS LEAGUE _ . Idle Into First Place As Rain t * Halts Contest; Cubs Beat Beaumont (By the Associated Press) The Texas league standing today was so much changed the Athletics had a hard time recognizing it. The San Antonio Indians, a few days ago proposes, were the pow erful Redman at the top of the ladder. The Indians were in their com manding position in exactly the same way Shreveport was there yesterday—it rained and they couldn’t lose. Waco, leader a few days ago, came back yesterday. The Cube de feated the Beaumonters, 4 to 3. Beaumont seemed to have the game sewed up in the ninth inning with the score 3 to one. With two men on bases, Felix Vigare up set everything by shooting a homer over the left field fence. The first half champion Dallas Steers didn’t look so good as the Fort Worth Panthers played good baseball to win, 7 to 3. The champs today held seventh place with a percentage of 333. Wichita Falls took a 10 to 8 game from Shreveport at Spud ville. Despite the big score and a total of six errors, the game was played m an hour and fifty min utes. the fastest game of the day in the league. Mighty Buck Herzog Still Holds Forth In Athletic Field NEW YORK, July 6.—(V)—Once a ball player never the same again. Particularly in the'case of so im petuous a star as Charles Lincoln Herzog, three times a Giant and at intervals a Brave, Cub, a Red and an Oriole. This accomplished member of John McGraw’s “Speed Boy Cham pions’’ of 1911-12-13 quit the big league doamond in 1920 and retired a year later from Baltimore. He blossomed out as a baseball writer but was often on the field shagging flies when his duty lay in the press box. Even then he was not cured and now the mighty Buck holds down the post of athletic di rector for the B. and O. railroad, a position ere?tea for him. Mr. H:.*z.;g now is quite uigm fied but the fans still recall his ex ploits of a generation ago. Mr. Herzog never was one to sec his rights imposed upon by an umpire. He was, in his prime, one of the greatest impromptu scrappers of baseball. He would, as the saying went, fight at the drop of a hat. If necessary he would drop the hat himself. There are those who have seen the B. and O. employes g' suddenly baseball mad to bear witness that Charles Lincoln, in spite of his of fice and appurtenances, still takes time out to wrangle for a point on any railroad diamond wdiieh claims his presence. For recreation, he goes to the ball games and bellows for the blood of the gentry in the dark blue lounge suits.

Each holds a decision now. The Fort Brown all-stars cop ped their first encounter 3-2 in 11 innings and the Mexican cavalry men came back for a win in the second contest last Saturday, white washing the locals, 9-0. * * * The 43rd was a bit tired on the afternoon they lost to the Yan kees due to a game earlier in the day with the Palmcz Hat Makers. They trounced the Brownsville champs by a healthy score. Sun day the Yankees state, they will be out to settle for once and for all their supremacy over the 43rd. * * • The combined forces of the Tigers and Hat Makers slipped over a cou ple of wins here on the fourth. They took the Sinton Grey Sox back of the woodpile for 6-0 and 4-2 wal lopings. Salinas hurled beautiful ball in the last contest. He had his first one hopping on the corners. Although he was nicked for eight hits, he bore down in the pinches and was given good support afield. Clements Garcia’s big wrar club was a potent factor in the locals, vic tories. Clements, although playing with an injured leg hobbled to first safely three times in the last game. ¥ * * Dick Jeffries got the old salary wing stretched out at McAllen on the fourth and the result was that the San Ben to Pentagons won io-2 over tne MCAiien legion naires. Dick, former Valley league twirler, had the Macks eating out of his hand. The San Benitans took a decided liking to “Lefty” Griffith’s slants and pounded his wrong-arm slants to all corners of the diamond. The flv in the ointment, however, is easily found by a glance at the box score. The Macks erred no less than nine times. * * * Sunday the Pents will tangle with Mission on the Harlingen fair grounds. * * * "Arty” Helen Wills again reigns Great Britain as the greatest wo an singles performer. The final event friday turned out to be an all-California affair. Miss Wills walloped her fellow country woman, Helen Jacobs, in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2. This is the third straight year that Miss W’ills has captured the coveted British crown. * * » W. L. ("Young) Stribling again is on his way through the pugilistic jungles of the United States. His last victim was Tony Fuente. “W. L.,” as Pop Stribling refers to him, took two rounds to knock out Tony in Birmingham, Ala. This is the third win for Stribling since he returned from Yarrop. * * * Dr. D. A. Penick, coach of many I tennis players of the first water at the University of Texas, has put his old familiar bicycle away in the cellar. The words, “Dr. Penick,” in Austin for many years has conjured up a mental picture of a typical prof astride a bicycle. Dr. Penick was given an automo bile recently when Wilmer Allison, one of his tennis pupils, stepped into the limelight at Wimbledon, tRg. * * * “Hack” Wilson, generally accred ited with being the strongest man in the major leagues, decided to demonstrate some of his prowess recently. The Cub outfielder took offense at remarks from the Reds’ dugout and promptly took measures to quell the offensive chin music. He got in several good blows on Ray Kolp before he was dragged off and banished from the park. Later at the railroda station he made a few passes at Pete Donohue. Wilson, a hulk of an athlete, can drive 10 penny nails through heavy boards with his hands. The latest manager to run afoul of that certain little thing called office management,” is Dan How ley, Howley, according to reports, is ready to chuck his job as man ager of the St. Louis Browns. • • * The bleacher catcalls and sneers have once more toppled a hero from his pedestal. The Fort Worth fans got to riding Jakey Atz so hard that the pressure was felt at the Cats’ box office. Jakey, who had given Fort Worth Six successive pennants, was told that his services were no no longer needed. Atz was and doubtless remained at the time of his “canning” the greatest manager in the Texas league. He has long been recognized as one of the greatest managers in minor league ball. * • * Jakey was getting about all the cats had. They are no rip snort ing outfit for talent. The reason he wasn’t bringing in pennants was that he had no Joe Pate, no Paul Wachtel, no Lefty Johns, no Clarence Kraft, no Jack Tavener, Ziggy Sears that he had in pre vious years. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to see Atz manager of the New Orleans Pelicans in the future. The Crescent city is his home town. »* • * Ye Gawds, iookit. On the last Laredo fight card Battling Shaw met Kid Ruiz for the third time. In the same afternoon’s entertain ment Johnny Cruz met Kid Mon terrey for the third time in re cent months!

This curly haired youth's golf won him a bride, a wad of money, a stock exchange seat and consid erable renown all in a few months. An indulgent father provided the tangible items—the sport pages in troduced the lad to a public who had neter heard of him before. The golfing ability of Stevens’ progress came to light during the 1929 California amateur champion ship when he finished as runner-up after wading through a field of fa vored stars. His fine game and coolness under fire won him the admiration of critics whose con sensus was that, under proper con ditions, he should go far in the game. The Los Angeles boy has been playing and practicing for years, but never befre had entered a ma jor tournament. When he wanted to get married a couple of months ago-, his dad said, “Beat me on the links and we’ll talk it over.” He did that and entered the state amateur competition with his golf ing bride in the gallery. When the youth worked his way to the semi finals the father became excited and said, “Make the semi-finals and you get $10,000.” The boy col lected. He lost out in the finals, but a seat on the Los Angeles ex change is promised him when he is 21 years old. To more thoroughly familiarize the junior member with the haz ardous Pebble Beach course the Stevens family has taken up resi dence on the Monterey peninsula. Yankees to Play 43rd Sunday On Matamoros Field Intent on revenge, the Browns ville Yankees will invade Mata moros Sunday for their third game with the 43rd Mexican cavalry. The game is scheduled to get under way at 3 p. m. on the parade grounds. The teams have clashed twice so far with the result that each have one decision. The Yanks ran away with a 3-2 11-inning victory in the first contest. The 43rd came back last Saturday to set the Yanks on their haunches for a 9-0 count . The 43rd has been considerably reinforced by former Tiger players. They are unquestionably one of the strongest amateur aggregations in the Valley now. They have tak en the Hatters. Brownsville champ ions, into camp in addition to soundly trouncing most other oppo sition. Schafner will probably be on the hillock for the Yankees Sunday with Young behind the platter to take his slants. Doherty Wins Title Of Best All-Around Athlete In America - *-.
