From the beginning of the ball game the Tiremen were a differ ent crew of boys than me ouuu that took the 11-3 drubbing from the S. 1'. team Wednesday night. In all the Tiremen collected ten hits with every man on the club getting at least one blow with the exception of Adams. Adams nu one ball that was tagged for the fence but a beautiful running catch by Centerfielder Harry Kay turn ed it into the evening's best field ing performance. Ned Hale, scrappy Fenn out fielder, led the hitters for the eve ning with a triple and two singles. Fenn's lost little time In getting under way and In the second in ning garnered three runs. Herb Hamcr, the first man up, drew a p,ass and then Lynn McCully, Fenn second baseman, connected solidly with the second pitched ball for the only home run of the evening. Adams scored later In the inning when he was safe on an error and then went to second on a wild pitch. He scored when Catcher Jones attempted to throw him out stealing third. The ball caroomet off Adams' leg allowing the run. Fenn's added another In the third with Tynan tripled and scored when Hamer dumped a bunt down the first base line.

Seabiscuit took $25,000 in a match race with Ligaroti at Bing Crosby's turf club here yester- j day, but it had a mystery angle ' The stewards went into a stew to determine whether Seabiscuit; won by a good horse's head or a bad jockey's log. Seabiscuit's new track record i of 1:49 for a mile and an eighth went into the books, but the big five-year-old's victory by a head over Ligaroti was far from a . closed chapter as stewards met to j consider the suspensions they! clapped on jockeys George Wooll and Moel Richardson, without ex planation, immediately after the match race. The stewards were silent, promising an announcement after their Bession. So was Richardson, but Woolf spoke his piece as fol lows: "Richardson (who rode Ligar oti) claimed a foul had been com mitted to save his own skin. Rich ardson grabbed my whip hand when he headed into the stretch and then he hustled into the steward's stand after the race to claim I fouled him." Seabiscuit took severe punish ment, with welts showing on neck and flank, and was exceedingly hot after the race, breathing hard, while Ligaroti appeared cool and relatively little exerted. Seabiscuit's victory gave him $25,00 and boosted his earnings to $315,205 and everyone except the stewards seemed satisfied. Bing Crosby, president of the track and one of Ligaroti s own ers, observed: "It's no disgrace to be beaten by the world champion." Some 2,000 softball fans, taking advantage of cut-rate admission prices, are expected to pack the fairgrounds stands Saturday night for Eugene s final "big league softball game of the season. Spon sor Max Rubcnstein has announc ed a 15-cent admission price for Yankees Split With Athletics if wf ? Japanese Win One From Australians MONTREAL, Aug. 13. (" Australia, seeking possession of the Davis Cup, appeared pretty sure today to vanquish Japan but its prospects of beating Ger many for the right to challenge the United States had lost some lustre. The Aussles' standbys, Adrian Qulst and Jack Bromwich, got a rude surprise when they only broke even In the first day's singles play against the Japanese. Nevertheless, Qtilsl and Brom wich. undefeated in two years of doubles play were favored to win today's team encounter and . nt least break even In the conclud ing singles matches to capture the American lone final. Like Australia a two-man team Is carrying the entire burden for Japan .liro Yomagishl and Fum Iterlc Nakano playing both singles and doubles. Yamagishl Japan's No. 1 play er somewhat unexpectedly gave Bromwich a very sound trounc ing yesterday. The scores were 6-0, 3-B, 7-5, 6-4, and they hard ly show the margin of victory. Quist beat Nakano. 6-3, 4-6, 0-7, 10-8 in the opening match. Since Germany's Henner Hen- Kel and George Von Metaxa. likely will he somewhat better than the Japanese, it will take considerable improvement by Bromwich to hold them off.

Giants Win To Creep Up On Pittsburgh The unconditional release of Wesley "Prima Donna" Ferrell shouldn't make much difference to Washington's walloping Sena tors. , They've been getting by pretty well this season without pitchers anyway, Of course, you'll argue that Dutch Leonard has been doing some classy elbow work for the Nats, winning 11 games, including that seven-hit, 13-1 -decision he look over the Boston Red Sox yesterday. But those who remem ber Dutch doddering along with the Dodgers a few years back re call he showed no signs then of ever becoming a ball of fire. NATS PITCHING WEAK And you can bring to mind that Harry Kelley has come in handy to the Nats this year, but even Connie Mack gave up on him and when the old fellow gives up on a pitcher, rest assured that tosser has been looked over Irani en . tif all angles and just hasn't got it I jll VGh OF. VV IflS It, nrmt thon ha lUit,. - - - relied just about exclusively on their apple-knocking ability to keep them in the first division. And, unless some of the other col lections masquerading as ball clubs in the American League soon get busy, they're going to find old fox Clark Griffith and boy-wonder Harris winding up in tho money again. . Of course, the Nats don't figure to get any higher than their present fourth place this year. The Yankees' powerhouse is roll ing now, as witness the, six hom ers murderers' row sprayed among the paying customers yes terday in splitting a doublehead er with the Athletics, to remain 6i,4 games in front. The A's took the opener, 5-4, on Bob Johnson's ninth-inning round-tripper, but the Yanks came back with 16 hits In the nightcap, paced by George Selkirk's two four-baggers and eight runs batted in, for a 16-3 triumph. Cleveland's Indians managed only an even break with the White Sox, taking the opener, 12-9, on a three-run rally in the tenth and dropping the after piece, 6-5, in the ninth inning. The Tigers and Browns were idle. GUMBERT GOES ROUT For the first time in two weeks, Bill Terry found a pitcher able to go the route, so the Giants nipped the Phillies, 1-0, behind Harry Gumbert's three-hit fling ing. Since the Pittsburgh Pirates absorbed a 9-3 beating at the hands of the Chicago Cubs, the victory boosted the Giants to within 5'i games of the Bucs' National League pace. Jim Turner's seven-hit job led the Boston Bees to a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. The Cincinnati Reds topped the Cardinals 3-2, in a night engagement.
