NEW YORK. Aug.' 20. (United News) The Giants
stumbled once more Wednesday in their hike to overtake the I
Pirates' Ioiir lead, and lost some further ground at a time!
when lost ground and the irretrievable yesterdays are equally i
hard to recapture.
The Giants broke a double-header in tha middle, winning
one game from the Reds at the Polo Grounds, and losing the 1
other. The Pirates, meanwhile, were taking a game from thtfl
stubborn and absolutely irreverent Braves in Boston, who are!
last in the league, but insist on pasting the big, powerful;

was once turned away from the Reds because of a gum-boil in '
his elbow, fought 13, innings before Luque won over Scott, j

Hughie McQuillan
To Sue Mugsy for
Early Spring Pay
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. (United
News) Hughie McQuillan, erst
while pitcher of the New York
Giants, has filed two suits for sal
ary against the ownership of the
team, which . may bring about an
other test of the ball players' stand
ard contract, whereby the club own
er, at his own discretion, claims the
right to fine, fire, or suspend a
player without pay.
McQuillan's wife recently sued
him for a legal separation and ali
mony, (Icscribinir liim as "an u -
feeling sot," and accusing him oi
standing too high in the regard of
another young womaiii
Hughie recently was sought by
detectives, who wanted to serve him
with a court order directing him to
show cause why he should not be
committed for contempt for failing
to pay his alimony.
In the suits filed against the
Giants, McQuillan indicated that the
alimony wasn't paid because he has
n't been receiving salary since July
22, when he was suspended.
The former pitcher demands
1338. 45 as salary for the week end
ing July 22, in one petition filed
In the municipal court. The other
one, filed In the supreme court,
asks that the Giants be ordered to
pny him about $40no as salary for
the period between July 22 lo the
end of the baseball season, when
his contract expires.
Bernard Reich. McQuillan's at
torney, claims McQuillan was rend
ered unfit for pitching service not
by any inattention to the rnlea and
reeiine of physical training, but by
an injury. Incurred in the servi.e
of Iho (ilants in a ball game against
the Brooklyn Dodgers in June.
