CUBS LOSE TO PHILLIES BUT REGAIN LEAD

Pirates Drop Double Header, and Leader- ship of Natio n a 1 Changes Again (By The Associated Pre*».)

Joe McCarthy’s Chicago Cubs were

back at the top in the National

League race again today, hut not by dint of their own energy. The lead- ership changed hand* lor the fourth time in as many days when the Pitts- burgh Pirates lost both ends of a

double header to the Boston Braves. The Cubs failed to solve Herb

Pruett’s offering* and lost to Phila- delphia 7 to 3. Neither Guy Bu*h nor Percy Joqes had anything to bother the Phillies, who slum me out

14 hits. The ( ubs’ infidel turned in four double plays but their pitch- ers gave eight basts on ball*.

Braves Take Two Kremer gav*- only five hits in the

first game but the Braves bunched two of them in the first inning for two runs and a 2 to 1 verdict. Ket.t Greenfield gave five hits ane! was

effective in the pinches. The Brave? also won the seiond game in the first inning when they put acio*--

three tallies. Miljus. a Pacific Cou*t League product, made his debut for the Pirates in the nightcap and was

charged with the 6 to 2 defeat. The Giants exploded a wagon-load

of fireworks in the ninth again*t the St. Louis Cardinals but lost the se-

ries opener, 7 to ti. Coming to bat five runs behind, the New York club drove Jess Haines to cover in the ninth and scored five runs. In th-- tenth I?ccornier thr«w wild to third and Bottom ley crossed with the win-

ning run. Frankie Frisch, playing in his old camp, was the batting star of the day. getting five hits in five times at bat, one of them a

home run with a runner on base.

The Pordham flash al«o had u great day in the field handling 14 chances without a slip-up.

Reds Win in Thirteenth Cincinnati and Brooklyn battled

13 innings before the Reds came out

on top. 2 to 1. The Robins had the bases loaded in the tenth with one one down but lacked a punch. -Adolfo Luque went to the route on the mound for Cincinnati.

Protective Tariff On Sheep Sought

KERR VILLI, Texa-, uly 22. -.4*, —Gnarging tlrnt more stolen beef, mutton and goat meat is sold in S;.n Antonio than in other Texa.> cities combined, Paxton Moses, at- torney for the Texas ■! attlemen’s organisation Thursday orened a fight for adequate protective taiiffs Tor Te\a.*> sheep raisers at the conclud- ing session of the thiee day con-

They termed the present tariff system as “deplorable,” explaining that Texas, xvith this inadequate protection, must compete xvith great sheep producing areas like South America. Mexico, South Africa, Aus- tralia and New Zealand- This con-

B> NORMAN E. BROWN Jacob Kuppeit has the richest

baseball investment in the world to-

day. it is paying him bigger dividends

than any two other curbs in the ma-

jor leagues combined. Col. Jake is sitting pretty. lie

ought to be. His Yankees are as

good a> **ir.'’ on another pennant are drawing capacity gates at home and abroad while waiting for the world’s series games to roll around and increase the revenue.

All of which makes it much easier for Col. Kuppeit to ponder over the problem of providing for Babe Kuih and Lou Gehrig next year “in the manner in which they are in the j habit of living."

Kuppert breathed a sigh of relief last winter when he signed Babe Kuth to a new three-year contract. True, he had to offer the Bambino (the original Bainbinol $70,00u a

year. But a biief audit of the club bo< K- had shown that the Battering One had netted a profit in his hey- day, even at that figure.

And when be btgan -.lamming the ball with his best accepted spirit of malice. Kuppert changed his sighs of relief to husky chuckles of joy— called in the boy* and passed the ci- gars around.

But along about cigar-passing time one Lou Gehrig entered the picture.

Now Lou wa. accounted a valuable member of the Yankee entourage. Miller Huggins had developed him into a good first baseman to replace WaHie Pipp. The midget manager had appieciatcd Lou's ability as a

timely ami efficient hitter. When the matter of hi' yearly stipend was di'- cussod he received a .300 hitter’s pay. And that was settled.

But, as mentioned above, Brother Lou upset the apple <art.

He broke out all over as a home run hitter. At first he proceeded to emulate Babe Kuth in a fair fashion. A couple of home runs came along at the prop* r moment. All very fine, thought the Yankee bosses.

Then he p oceeded to udd a few- more. Still very f»ne.

When he crept up to Babe Ruth’s mark for the season that was also very fine.

But when lie dogged Babt’s heels for days and then passed him Messrs. Rupptrt and Huggins found themselves faced with something be- sides the problem of buying more baseballs.

“What's this bird going to do next year?’ asked Ruppert of Huggins.

"Hit 'em harder than ever,” replied Huggins, proudly.

“Now, still, that isn’t what I’m thinking about.” said Huggins witn- eringly—as only the stolid little col- onel can wither.

“Wtll, I've got to look over one of them rookie hurleis,’ said Huggins and trotted out of the office.

This left—and still leaves—the matter of meeting Mr. Lou Gehrig's

demands entirely up to Mr. Ruppert.

And if “Columbia Lou” continues to m<tch Babe Ruth home run for four bagger you can lay to it that

Mr. Gehrig is going to give Mr. Rup- |h rt a chance t" match salaries about

the same way. Col. ft up pert, having an acute' busi-

ness sense, will probably start budd- ing up a sinking fund the latter part of the campaign to take care of such exigi ncies.

He will still have the richest base- ball investment next season. But Lou Gehrig’s salary check will draw much heavier on the cash drawer.

More powei to'Columbia Lou.
