INJURIES MAY
HALT CHICAGO
Hartnett Out With Ailing
Arm And Wilson And
Cuyler Also Hurt
CHICAGO, Aug. 13. OPH-'There
There continues to be a difference
of opinion as to the status of Gabby
Harnett's throwing arm which has
been lost to the Chicago Cubs
throughout the season's chase of a
National league pennant.
Harnett still complains of a pain
In his shoulder and is unwilling to
attempt to burn the ball from the
plate to second base. Manager Mc
Carthy. however, inclines to the be
lief that Gabby's trouble is more
imaginary than real.
Despite Harnett's failure to han
dle the behind-the-plate job this
year, the Cubs have managed un
usually well by the services of the
veterans Gonzales and Taylor, aided
and abetted at various times by
rookie talent.
New threats to the lineup con
tinue to appear in reports from the
eastern front on which the club is
now performing. Hack Wilson’s
slender ankles are beginning to
evidence their annual rebellion
against carrying the weight of the
bulky centerfielder. Wilson Is
slightly less -peedy in the outfield
and on the bases and limps some
what when running.
Cuyler has been an irregular for
more than a fortnight because of
injuries. With McMillan and Beck
out of the game. Blair remains the
only available man for third base.
In the event he. too, should be in
capacitated. Manager McCarthy
would be compelled to bring Riggs
Stephenson from the outfield to
wrestle with grounders, thus pre
senting a patchwork lineup which
might bring anxiety to the pen
nant-hoping folks back home.

Spud Pitchers Crack
Under Twin Reverse
At Hands of Sports
(By The Associated Press*
For several weeks the boys who go in for such things have been pre
dicting that the Wichita Falls pitching staff, badly over-worked, was
due at least a partial crack-up. There were indications today that the
long-awaited slump of the Spud moundsters might be just around the
comer.
Determined tc push his club into>
a play-off with Dallas. Manager
Jeems Galloway has been driving
his hill corps unsparingly. George
Payne, in particular, has put in
much overtime during the Oiler's !
drive of recent weeks. He appear -
ently has thrived upon it. but the
team's two other aces. Steengrafe
and Wiltse, are finding it a little
tough on their ancient arms.
Yesterday the Sports slammed !
out a double victory over the two
Spud stars, defeating Steengrafe, 8
to 5. in the first encounter and
licking Wiltse. 3 to 2. in the after
piece. Seldom this season has the
twain been treated in such manner.
The leaders, facing a somewhat
crucial four-game series with the
Cuts starting tomorrow', possibly
had some valuable wind taken out
of their sails by the twin reverse.
In the meantime, the Panthers
picked up a game in their pursuit
of the Spudders by breaking even
in a double attraction with Dal
las, losing the first 7 to 6. but com
ing back behind Lil Stoner's superb
hurling to capture the nightcap
8 to 1.
The Cubs swept their series with
Houston by taking the final. 8 to 4.
adding further to the discomfort of
the Junior Cards since they hit
the trail a fortnight ago. Today
the Bisons w*ere in San Antonio on
the last lap of their hegira, with
the possibility they have found a
team they can trim.
It was with regrets that the Ex
porters quitted San Antonio. By
sweeping the series Robby’s men
ran the Indian's string of defeats
to 19 in their last 20 games. Yes
terday it was 6 to 3. and the In
dians were reported to have excelled
their previous best efforts for a
peculiar base running.

uene Sarazen took the last open
golf championship seriously enough
to go in for a rigid course of train
ing and dieting for it. He finished
two strokes away. He blames his
golf, not the diet.
“Bobby Jones used to be the big
runner-up in these events but since
he has taken to winning them. 1
seem to be always one or two
strokes short,” remarked Sarazen.
Bronzed, genial. Sarazen looks
more like a young, successful busi
ness man than a golf professional.
As a matter of fact, he is. No other
“pro” has kept so conspicuously in
the competitive limelight, gathering
position and substance, without the
lustre of championship honors.
Sarazen. a caddy 10 years ago. is
now one of the highest paid pro
fessionals in the game. He won the
open championshir seven years ago
at Chicago, the P. G. A. title the
same year. The re-action to this
double success upset his youthful
balance and his game, for a time,
but there is no more even-tempered
competitor and none more popular
now than Genial Gene of Fresh
Meadow.
“The secret of championship play
is taking it easy and playing it
safe ” remarked Gene, as we sat In
the grill room. “Yet most of us
refuse to do that. I did it for
two rounds at Winged Foot this year
and was tied for the lead. I started
taking chances then and lost.
“But anyone who beats Bobby
Jones is Just lucky.
• Our open championship now L«
the one big event. There’s no get
ting away from that. In fact some
body was kidding Hagen up in Mon
treal by ranking the Canadian open
ahead of the British open.
"Why has Hagen been so success
ful abroad? I' l tell you one big
reason: the gallery: When Hagen
starts out over there in England or
Scotland, all the gallery that hasn’t
gone after Duncan and Mitchell fol
lows Hagen. This show of interest
would be gratifying to most any
player and it acts like a tonic to
The Haig. He thrives on it and
plays his best golf.
“I think Jones benefits from more
than he may be handicapped by his
big galleries in our open. For an
experienced competitor, it is netural
to respond to the gallery."
This reaction to the enthusiasm
of the mob effects most of the big
stars in any line cf sport. No one
loves his crowds more than the
great Babe Ruth. The Bambino
has picked world's series audiences
for most of his mo6t spectacular
stunts at bat. >nnis galleries have
inspired, although also annoyed Big
Bill Tllden. The bigger the crowd
the bigger the thrills furnished by
Jack Dempsey.
“With all those fans pulling for
Brownsville ball teams had a nice
day Sunday. The Tigers took a
pair from Harlingen and the Palmez
Hat Makers split a couple with the
San Benito Aztects. The Tigers
gave evidence of returning to their
old form trouncing the Harlingen
Red Ants handily. The scores
were 9-1 and 18-0. The Tigers have
rounded up all of their old players,
and, although the season is nearly
spent, they expect to get in several
good licks befor' the curtain.
The Hat Makers opened a bar
rage of hits in their first game with
the Azteces and when the clouting
subsided and the score sheets tal
lied it was found that the Palmez
crew had won 8-5. A. Garcia and
De la Rosa were the hitting stars of
the affair. Garcia got three bingles
out of five attempts; De la Rosa
three out of four. Schacht of the
Aztecs drove a home run over the
fielders head.
The second game was a hurling
duel between Munoz and Darby
but the San 7* nitans would not
be denied in his last appearance of
the season. Darby will leave soon
to attend a coaching school, prior
to taking over the duties of head
coach at the Caldwell high school.
The score remained tied 3-3 until
the eighth inning when the Aztecs
scored five runs. They were aided
by several Palmez errors.
C. Garcia of the Hatters batted
for Eugenio in the last half of the
ninth. He stepped up to the plate
briskly and spanked it over the
fence for a homer.
Next Sunday the Hatters will
play the 43rd Mexican cavalry a
double-header on the Palm Courts
diamond in Brownsville. The game?
will get under way at 9:30 a. m
and 3:30 p. m. The Hatters have
added two infielders and a new
hurler to their roster.
Just a few more games now. and
we may see the old Tiger-Hatter
feud done over again in lavish
style. The Tigers and Hatters had
a big controversy on as to which
was the better team. They finally
got together and lo and behold!
the Tigers, favorites, were taken for
a ride. Shortly afterward the
Tigers, an organization of many
years standing, disbanded. Now j
they have been bvilt up once more
by Joso Salinas and a heated Tiger
Hatter setto may be on tap before
the end of the season.

Cubs and Athletics *

For World’s Series
__ 2L - --- - - i
(By The Associated Press*
The day of miracles may not be
over, but it would take a highly
trusting nature to bet that Chicago
and Philadelphia will not meet in
the world series this fall.
With two months to go before
the season closes on Oct. 6, the
growling Cubs Joe McCarthy has
developed at Chicago held an eight -
game lead over the National league
field while Connie Mack's Phila
delphia Athletics had to look back
11 1-2 games before they could see
their closest rivals, the New York
Yankees
The Cubs ran into Ben Cantwell
when he was at his best yesterday
and dropped a 4-3 decision to Bos
ton in 10 innings. But this slip
meant nothing for both Pittsburgh
and the New York Giants were
beaten.
Johnny Frederick s homer with
Gilbert on base in the tenth gave
Brooklyn another triumph over
Pittsburgh. 4-2. Clise Dudley was
yanked in the first half of the tenth
when Paul Waner doubled to open
the frame and Johnny Morrison re
tired the side without a score.
A double by Kelly, single by Pit
tenger and Horace Ford's home run
In the eighth gave Cincinnati three
runs and a 5-2 verdict over the
Giants. Pete Donohue limited New
York to five hits.
St. Louis downed Philadelphia.
7-5, in a free hitting game at Baker
bowl.
In the American league, the As
stretched their lead a full game by
beating Detroit 6-0 while the Yanks
were losing at Cleveland. Rube Wal
berg gave up only five hits against
the Tigers while the A s bunched
eight hits off George Uhle.
Babe Ruth's 31st homer couldn’t
save the Yankees from an 11-7
trouncing by the Indians. Ruth's
round trip blow with two on in the
third couldn't ffset weak pitching
by Pipgras. Pennock and Sherid.
Danny MacFayden was in form
and the Boston Red Sox blanked
Chicago 3-0. MacFayden yielded
only three hits while Ted Lyons war
beaten as early as the first inning
when two walks, a triple by Roth
rock and a double steal gave Boston
three runs.
Doubles by Judge and Rice in the
ninth gave Washington a 3-2 tri
umph over St. Louis.
