July 21 over the previously unbeaten semi-pro baseball tournament sion of the state crown today after final game which saw almost certain defeat turned into a one run win with a smashing ninth inning rally. Score of the final game was a to 8. but it tells only a part of the story. Errors told a bit more. And Blitz' timely hitting told the rest. Blitz got off to commanding five run lead In the first five Inn ings but Hop Gold hadnt started The State league team came Sho?r SLANTS A V Pap Interest - In the National league pennant race does not stop with the torrid battle for first place being waged between the St. Louis Cardi nals and the Chicago Cubs. The re marable improvement of clubs like the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Bees cannot be overlooked. The Bees have mad a remarkable recovery from the form they showed In the race last year. They have al ready won more game this season than they did In the entire 133 campaign. Not only that, but Man ager Bill McKechnie's charges have been moving along at close to a .500 clip, and that Is not to be sneezed at by a team which a year ago was firmly entrenched In the cellar and was destined to set a new modern record for games lost in a single season. The genial keeper of the Beea set the first division as his goal this year. His self-appointed task la anything but Impossible the way his team has been hus tling of late. The boya have been overcoming leads, and bear ing down ao hard in crucial spots their opponents have been forced to give ground. Their starting pitchers have been no thing to boast about but the relief corps has not failed, Baxter Jordan's consistent batting has been one of the factors respon sible for the Bees' new-found suc cess. The lanky first baseman Is right up with the league leaders In grinding out hits and boasts an average of about .350. The timely hitting and steady fielding of Joe Coscart has given impetus to the team's spurt. The addition of Ray Mueller, rushed from Knoxvllle, to the catching staff has proved a big help. Rabbit Warstler has helped fill in the shortstop hole created when Bill Urbanski bruised his finger. The enforced rest won't do Bill any harm he can stand a little vaca tion. Meanwhile. Warstler looked good against Cincinnati. Ben Cant well's steady relief work has saved number of games for the Bees. KEEPS BATTING EYE They say the but thing a real hitter loses is his batting eye. There must be something to this for old Rlggs Stephenson, former slugging outfielder of the Chicago Cubs, Is still pound ing the cover off the ball In the Southern association. If It were not for the fact that he had slowed up In the field "Old Hess" would very likely still be wielding his big bat In the ma- Riggs la playing-manager of the Birmingham Barons now and boasts an average of close to .360. This, mind you. despite a very poor start due to an early season illness. Since he has regained his health he has made life miserable for Southern association pitchers. Batting In cleanup position, he has been an in spiration to his teammates. If he Is able to play out the season he is certain to give Freddie Sington, the Chattanooga Lookouts' league-leading slugger, a close run for top bat ting honors. At 42. Clarence Mitchell, for mer major league spitball pitch er, still goes merrily on his way twirling and winning, ball games. Clarence la co-manager of Omaha of the Western league and goes to the mound to take a fling at twirling every now and then. He has pitched over 1300 games In organised ball and haa no Idea of giving up at the pres ent time. In the SO years he served In the major leagues Milrhell waa rated a crafty hurler. His spitter served him well and he was the Isat of the moht ball hurlers to pasa out of the big show. He was with the New York Giants until a couple of seasons ago and later served as a eoarh.

The eighth was scoreless but In the ninth, Heller, who led the Blitz- er to a 4 to I victory the night before, hammered out a single to score Joe Gray and Joe Leptich for the winning runs. Gray's single al ready had scored Malone who went to first after being hit. Leptich had walked. The winning clout came off "Red" Miller, who went in cold to replace Roberts early In the Inning, but it didn't prevent Miller from being named the outstanding pitcher of the tourney. Honors for being the outstanding catcher went to Dick Bishop, General Motors. Gordon Williamson, Hop Gold, was voted the outstanding batter. He turned in 13 hits during the tourney.

Paper Mill fumbled their chance to send Atwater-Kent Into the defeat column last night on Sweetland field. The paper boys got plenty men on the paths but punch In the pinches was lacking and the radio men won 4 to 0. With George Rotn and Henry Singer in great form, the near capacity crowd was treated to an excellent ball game. Each pitcn er yielded seven hits, but Singer had the edge in strikeout depart- ment, fanning 11 to six for Roth. The radio men scored in the fifth, eighth and ninth. In the fourth 4t seemed certain the Paper Mill crew would .score when Has kins, first man up, got a walk while Oravec, singled. However. Singer just mopped his brow with his jer sey sleeve and proceeded to fan the next three batters. In the sixth and eighth innings the paper work ers put their first man up on base but the succeeding batters, 'trying for a killing, usually fanned or drove long flys to the outfield. The Artisans gave the Man's Shop an even rub during the first few innings but the haberdashers finally got their bats working and won 9 to 5.

LOUIS CARDS HOLDING EDGE By Associated Press) It may not be very encouraging to fans of the pace setting Chicago Cubs but the fact are, the St. Lou. is Cardinals have a slight edge on the National league champions so far this year in their games on for eign fields.

They pointed to a road record of 21 victories a against IS defeats for a percentage of .583 while the Cub had won 16 of their 29 games away from Wrig- ley field for an average of .552. 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 August 4 to open a four-game ser ies that may go a long way toward settling the National league pen nant. Today's schedule placed Chi cago In Brooklyn and the Cards at the polo grounds against the Giants.
