[elephone and Telegrepht Company
Bill Stribling, tha only heavy
weight title challénger who ever
did all of his training for the big
affair at night, has some Inter
esting reasons to offer for his
arrangement of the preparatory
schedule. Of all the things to be
avoided when he' tackles Max
Schmeling in a fifteen round duel
July 3, sleepiness, he thinks, is
the most dangerous.
Rights and lefts to the ®in, of
course, thumps that bang against
the body, are to bhe evaded as
much as possible at all times,
pariicularly when such a valua
ble crown as the heavyweight
diadem is at stake. He reasons
rather logically that to do this
best, one must bhe wide awake.
And so—
“If 1 trained every afternoon
and went to bed at 9:30 or so at
night for a couple of months, I'd
develop the habit of dozing off at
that time every night and it
wouldn’'t be healthy for me to be
feeling like taking a nap nbout
that time July 3, when I'll be
about starting the first round
with the German.

Second Place Taken
Over By Hancock As
He Defeais Praither
By HARRY DAVIS
Hancock took undisputed pos
session of second place in the “Y”
playground ball Jeague Monday
afternoon ‘by defealing Praither
13 10 10,
Two big innings early in the
game proved too much for the
losers. Five runs in the second
and four in the third gave Han
cock such an advantage that
Praither was never able ty eatch
up.
The losers outhit the winners
16 to 12 but were unable to make
their hits count when they meant
runs, Errors were plentiful dur
ing the afternoon, a total of 16
being made by the two teams,
nine by the losers and seven by
the winners,
Leading hitters for the day
were: Costa, T. Turner and Dud
ley, all hit safely three times out
of four tries. One of TuTrner’s
was good for a home ruin, and
another for a triple.
Correction
In Sunday’s paper it was said
that Tony Costa had won no
games and lost two; and that
Lanier had won two and lost none,
This was an error, both Costa
and Lanier. had wan and lost
through that date.
In today’s game, Sims and his
last place team will take on the
league leading Hill team. The
game starts at 6:25 so come out
and see if Simg will be able to
stop the mad rampage of the Hill
clan,

Patience Of White
Sox With Plowboy
Frazier Rewarded
By GAYLE TALBOT, JR.
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
A year ago Vic Frazier was
spending most of his waking
hours foilowing a brace of mules
cown the coiton rows on hig farm
in east Texas. He had jumped
the Chicago White Sox some
months previously for the simple
reason that he had found himself
lonesome in the midwest metirop
olis.
Yesterday the-« husky young
righthander turned the Philadel
phia Athleties back with gix hits
and helped his teammates bat out
an 8 to 2 victory over the world
champions. His double in the
fourth with the bhases loaded
drove in the winning runs. 1
The White Sox, it- appears, are
about to be rewarded for their
patience with Frazier. A year’s
idleness cost him his control and
he has been wild as a praigie
flower the first two months or
the race, but Manager Donie Bush
has used him regularly, confident
he would pitch winning ball
when he settled down. He had
perfect control yesterday, issuing
not a single pass and striking
out three Athletics. :
Rookie pitchers, incidentally,
have handed the A's two of their
four defeats this month. Wallace
Herbert, the Browns’ southpaw
“find,” stopped them ten days ago.
Yesferday's defeat cut a half
game from the champion’s lead
as rain held the Washington Sen.
ators idle at Cleveland. The third
place New York Yankees fell fur
ther back in the race, the result
of a 14 to 10 drubbing from the
St. Louis Browns. Lou Gehrig's
two homers went for naught as
the Browns pounded five Yankee
hurlers for 20 hits.
Steady Hurling
Danny MacFayden pitched
steady ball in the pinches. to
give the Boston Red 'Sox their
second istraight overy Detroit, 7
to 2. Earl Webb hit a double and
three singles.
The St. Louis Cardinals con
tinued to encounter grief in the
East. Jumbo Jim Elliott, pitching
his third game in five days for
the Phils, handed the National
league leaders their fourth defeat
in their last’ five games, Homers
br Chuck Klein and Pinky Whit
ney featured the 7 to 3 triumph.
Rogers Hcrnsby hit his elev
enth homer of the year with two
on to help his Chicago Cubs
plaster the Giants, 11 to 4, and
climb within a game and a half
of second place. Hack Wilson
also did his specialty, and Hems
ley hit one in the ninth, when
the Cubs scored six runs, Guy
Bush did the pitching. '
For the second time this year,
fancy base running by Fresco
Thompson . enabled the Brooklyn
Robins to pull out with a tight
one. He stole third base in the
tenth inning and scored on Babe
Herman's roller to Grantham to
give the ©latbush flock a 3 to 2
decision over Pittsburgh. Gran
tham’s fumble of another ground
er by Herman had enabled the
Robins to tie it up in the eighth.
A scheduled gante between the
Reds and Braves at Boston was
postponed.

AtLocal Y.M.C. A.
