Hla Pittsburgh P Ire We "ark" waa the one boat afloat tha rains couldn't hurt. Even If It kept raining the figurative 40 daya and 40 nights until the National league season ends, "Noah" and the collection of diamond life he has on the ark would bounce onto the world aeries "Ararat" anyway. 8uch other aoowi and barges as those on which the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds are riding have had huge hotel knocked Into them by the downpour. Every game rained out In the first division this week end there hes been a record number of them can be marked down In the Cubs' victory column, for If they don't play they can't loee. When the second-place Cuba and the third-place Reds, SV4 and S games back, reapectlvely, are the victims, they can't win and so have no chance to catch up with the Pirates. Remember, too, the Buce had two of their toughest eastern games washed off the schedule en- tlrely with the Dafflness Dodgers, who have raised more hob with the pace-setters this season than any other outfit. Tbere'e been only one National league tilt alnce Sunday, and that one aaw Paul the Daffy Dean, In hla second comeback start for the Car dlnals, pitch a seven-hitter to blank the Boston Bees, 4-0, yesterday, Ducky Medwlck drove In all the runs. The Yankees, who have been more chumps than champs alnce they aewed up the American league pen. nant, stretched their losing streak to six games In kicking away a 5-a decision to the Chicago White Sox. Three errors gave the Sox their runt (all unearned.) Hank Oreenberg remained three games In front of Babe Ruth's record 1937 home run paoe by clouting hli " No. 54 for the year aa the Tigers trounced the Athletics twice, 8-8. and 3-0. Jimmy Poxx'a 47th four bagger paced the Boaton Red Sox to an 8-4 margin over the Browne In the only other game that wasn't drowned out.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulen says: Severeid Claims Carey Peer of Cobb on Bases yZS1 , ij I '.i' d . Billy Hulen. Hank Severeid, who Is In town helping Mickey Shader conduct the Cincinnati Reds baseball tryout camp at the h!$;h school field, played In the major leagues more than IB years, ao nntu rally he h a s many Interesting things to any concerning those good old daya when Ty Cobb was running wild on the bnses and "Walter .lohnaon k Ayy MW ' iti was burning that down the slot. Hnnk, one of the finest catchers of nil time, can tell you all about Cobb and Johnson, becnuae he played against the Cleorgia Peach year in and yenr out, and did the catching for Johnson in the World Series of lOSR. when Pitts burgh defeated Washington. 'Yes, Cobb wna a demon on the bases, alright," Hnnk recalled. "He waa plenty fast, of course, but he stole moat of his basis because he waa such a great stlder, ntul bcc;.u-te he waa alwnya running. He was on base almost all the time, It seemed. and when he got on ho dtdn': hesi tate In trying to advance. He used hla feet, too. and many times stole a base by kicking the ball ovit of the bsseman'a hands. I've seen him slide seven or eight feet pnst second base, then squirm around and reach t he bag before the lnflelder could tag him." It waa not Cobb, though, but Max Carey, whom Severeid considers the greatest base purlolner of all time. Being a catcher. Hnnk should know about those things, "t'nrey whs as fiW a Cobb." Hank' explained, "and al innt ns gixtd a slider. Hut, uhere Cobb relied ahnnt entirely on peed, ilnrhtg and I lie hook -tide, Carey de elnied the added ad vantage or being able tn take a long lend off UrM hae.

Hank, who broke into the major leagtien In 1015 and during his Mitv oaught more ames than any other catcher alive, has a lifetime ma lor league b.tttlng nvcrap of .ion. which la consldrinhle working. He Is not in favor of the return to the pnme of all freakish pitching tricks, but does believe that ih" spithalt should be allowed, and said there had been some anltntlon i 'crntly to have the "spitter" ban lit cd. In case such a circuit Is organized next year, be sure to let me know. Medford appears to be a great town for organized baseball, and X don't think there would be any trouble at all arranging things with the. Reds." That really Is good news to those hereabouts who want to see organ ized baaeball brought to Medford. Shader explained that a lighted ball park would be necessary, and said that It would cost about 94500 to install such a system. In speaking of Paul Gehrman, the Bend boy who was picked up here two years ago and made good Imme diately In professional baseball, Shader stated that such a "find" would repay the Reds completely for the money expended In holding these series of tryout camps for five years. Each season the camps cost about $1000, exclusive of salaries, and he pointed out that Gehrman waa right now worth far more to Cincinnati than $7500.
