It in hard to lnutvln. a nennant
ra any warmer than the current I jjllyh
National I., mi. .rfal- artilKk lha V 'til
last plaos teim I only 15 games be
hind the tint, and three teama are
battling for the lead within a apace
of two and a half games, but there
are various signs and portents that
It will become even more heated be
fore the season ends.
Despite 16 defeat In IT fames,
many chargeable to left-handed
pitching, the Pittsburgh Pirates were
only two games behind the league
leading Chicago Cuba today, with the
charging Brooklyn Dodgers another
half game back. And Pittsburgh was
threatening to stage comeback
while the danger signals were flying
for Chicago.
, Take 10 Innings 1
It took Just about every;;. teg the
Oubs had yesterday to turn back the
Boston Braves, now holders of sixth
place. They waged the longest bat
tle of the major league campaign
18 Innings before Chicago finally
won out, S to a.
Although Brooklyn dosed the gap
between second and third to a hslf
game with a 4-1. victory over Pitts
burgh, the Buca showed plenty of
ngnc.
In the third National league game,
Bill Terry of the New York Giants
clouted a homer, two doubles and
two singles, while Jim Wooney wm
noioing Cincinnati to four hits, end
the Olanta won easily, 8 to 0. Rain
Baited the Phillies and Cardinals.
' Perhaps to emphasize the differ
ence between the American league
chase and the National, the New
Tork Yankees, leaders of the Junior
circuit, won their tenth straight
game, aereatmg uetrolt 9 to 8.
yanks' Lead Grows.
The triumph Increased the yanks
lead to 11V4 games as the Philadel
phia, Athletic regained second place
from Cleveland with 11 to 0 tri
umph over the Indians. Lefty Drove's
four-hit hurling brought him his
I8th victory and Wis fourth ahutout.
. Washington, In fourth place but
far out of the picture, turned back
the Chicago White Sox, 4 to a, with
a aeventh Inning rally that netted
three runs. A six. hit mound per
formance by Paul Andrews and three
Wlow apiece by Dal Alexander ami
Braead Jolley netted the Boston Red
Sox ft 7 to ft triumph over the St.

GOLFER'S LEG BROKEN
; BY CAVING SAND TRAP
' PORTLAND, Au. J8.-(ff)-Barl
HannUm, 20, Portland, waa the ?lo.
Urn of new golf huaul ytpdAy
that aent blm to a hospital. While
h was playing golf at a Portland
oouree, a sand pit caved In on him,
breaking hla leg. '
By Johnny Fan-ell.
(As told to Artie McOoveru.)
You often hear ft remark to the
effect that ft prize fighter has left
his stamina in his training quarters,
and this same theory applies to the
golfer who wastes his best shots m
the practice tee.
Some practice Is necewary, of
courM, but hitting balls off a prac
tice tee for several hours at a time
Is not going to Improve your game.
Ten minutes each with the
woods, the Irons and the putter, 's
a fair amount of practice, but more
than half an hour only brings about
unneceansry physical exhaustion,
blistered hands, and an additional
mental hazard In the realisation that
your game Is far from perfect. '
One of the best methods of prac
tice is to go out on the course at a
time when It is not crowded and
play three balls on each hole. This
gives you an opportunity to study
the various shots, different lies and
distances, and since you play alone,
you csn take your time and not
rush your shots.
