Cubs Downed But Grip On First Place Held When Opponents Lose By The Associated Press The day of miracles may not be over but it would take By Georr KJrksey New York (IP) Hall a dozen o: more major league stars are slater to be traded or sold before nex season, according to Information whispered around baseball circle these days. Dazzy Vance, highest paid pitcher In baseball, Is not likely to wear a Brooklyn uniform next season. With Vance nearlng the end of his car eer, the Robins can no longer carry him at $25,000 a season and It Is, aaid that he will be placed on the market and sold to the highest bid der. The St. Louis Cardinals may dis pose of Frankie Frisch, star second baseman, because of his high salary and the poor attendance at Sports man's park this season. Prison's salary Is $22,000 a year. Brooklyn would like to have Frisch who was a great favorite with the fans when he played with the New York-Giants, possibly as manager as well as second baseman if Uncle Wilbert Robinson steps down as ex pected. The New York Giants are going to make every effort to buy a star second baseman and It Is rumored that Hughle Critz, fielding flash of the Cincinnati Reds is the mas John J. McGraw will bid for. It is said that Critz can be had If the price Is right. If the Pittsburgh Pirates place Paul Waner on the market as ex pected the Giants are prepared to outbid rival clubs to get the 1927 National league batting champion. More than one member of the New York Yankees probably will make a change of scenery next sea son. Bob Muesel, for one, is ticketed to go, probably to the Chicago White Sox or Boston Red Sox. . Mark Koenig is another member of the Yankees who may be nlaced on the trading block. Bill Cissel, Chicago White Sox shortstop is also slated to go and may oe involved, in a big trade be tween the White Sox and Yankees. Skits and Scratches Eastern college baseball hasn't anything on the brand played In the west, If the sample handed out by the University of Michigan. Is any criterion. Perhaps, like one or two Salem players, the rah-rah boys took a look into the stands and decided the game wasn't worth much of an effort. Montague, pitching for the win ners of the "Big Ten" title, Is a youngster. Manager Fisher be lieves the boy has possibilities. Be says he has the capacity to learn and is a willing worker. Mon tague's pendulum-like method of "winding up" was something new here. One of the Michigan players told us Monday night that none of the boys had been west of Minneapolis before the present trip. They were thoroughly enjoying the trip, al though not a few of them were rather dubious about the ocean trip to Japan. The team will sail from San Francisco Wednesday, stopping in Honolulu a day to play one game. Some 13 games will be played with Japanese teams. San Francisco will be reached on the return trip In October. Johnny Beck, who pitched for the Senators last year, went with the Pacific coast league this spring and was farmed out to Bloomlngton of the Three X league, seems to be going his usual pace. He pitched against Terre Haute recently, strik ing out six men, giving five bases on balls and taking two balks.

Johnson May Be Fastest Man In Americans Chicago, iff) The answer to the question, who Is the fastest man in the American league Carl Reynolds of the Chicago White Sox or Jack Roth rock of the Boston club may be Roy Johnson of the Tigers. Reynolds and Rothrork have been threatening for some time to match speed In a spring race to decide who is the fastest runner in the league. While the race Is postponed from one cause or another, friends of Roy John son have come forward with offers to wager that the De troit player not only can out foot either Reynolds or Roth rock, but could beat both of them, running as a relay team over the sprint distance.

With two months to go before the season closes on Oc tober 6 the growling Cubs Joe McCarthy has developed at Chicago held an eignt game mar over the National league field while Connie Mack's Philadelphia Ath letics had to look back 1114 games before they could see their closest rivals, the New York Yankees. The Cubs have done little i alter ing in the last month or so and what few slips they have made have comew hen their nearest pennant rivals could not take advantage of them. For example, the Cubs ran Into Ben Cantwell when he was at his best Monday and dropped a 4-3 de cision to Boston in 10 innings. But this slip meant nothing for both Pittsburgh and the New York Giants were beaten. Johnny Fredericks homer with Gilbert on base in the 10th gave Brooklyn another triumph over Pittsburgh, 4-2. 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 Walberg gave up only five hits against the Tigers while the A's bunched eight hits oft George Uhle with three Detroit errors to pile up a winning margin. Al Cim mons hit his 27th homer of the sea son. Other scores National: Cincinnati 5; New York 2. Si. Louis 7; Philadelphia 5. American: Cleveland 11: New York 7. St. Louis 2; Washington 3.

Dorothy Bundy, 12-year-old daughter of the famous May Sutton Bundy, made her eastern debut in a senior tennis tournament at the eastern grass court championships at Rye Monday and acquitted her self well In elminating Mrs. Mar quis James of Rye, in straight sets. The chances are against Dorothy going much further in the present championship for she was matched with Mary Grecf, No. 2 in the na tional girls' ranking in the second round but the well-rounded game she exhibited against Mrs. James promises well for the future.

The great physical adrantagea which the "Black Shadow" usually boast over his foes, will be lessened considerably in the meeting with Hawkins, the elongated San Diego fighter being almost his physical equal. Hawkins towers feet 41 inches in height, a half Inch mora than Godfrey. Weight, however, will favor Godfrey. He will scale around 240 pounds, about 20 mora than Hawkins will pack. Although Hawkins in the last year has chalked up a number of notable wins, betting odds favor Godfrey by a sizeable figure.
