gainst Jack Sharkey, the Boston vet'

For Louis the bout will be a
iohauco to show whether the defeat

the heavyweights until he met Schmo

Louis baa been on a Michigan farm,

year in tneir games on lorcigu tieius,
As the two clubG, separated by only
one game on tbo losing side, invaded
tbe east today the Cardinals not only
had pLayed more games away from
home but bad a better percentage.
They pointed to a road record of 21
victories as against 15 defeats for a
percentage of .583 while the Cubs had
won 10 of their 20 games away from
Wrigley field for an average of .522.
The schedule calls for the Cubs and
the Gas House Gang to make a trip
around the eastern half of the circuit
before returning- to Chicago Aug. 4
to open a four-game series than may
go a long way toward setting the Na
