Jakie May "a Great Pitcher When He Has Control Ask the Robins AT LUST It's Back to the Simple Life for Mickey Walker CUB Chunky Southpaw of LOOK LIKE BEST -TEIJpGIIE Taylor and McMillan Big Factors; Manager Peck Makes Indians Tough. Reds Squelches Even -Great Babe Herman By THOMAS HOLMES i Sic Correspondent of The Eagle.) Cincinnati. July 27 One of life's most pathetic figures r.v.st be chunky Jakie May.

so long on pitching stuff that the Cincinnati Reds daren't let him go and so short of control that he has won but a comparative handful of games through 10 seasons in the National League. Poor May! Nine of ten pitchers In the major leagues would hock their ears for the dumpy left-hander's God-given fast ball and his jagged, sinking curve ball and May in return would pawn his for even ordinary control. His is not an unusual case. Walter Beall. once with the Cheating Our 'Babe Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission and ask recognition of Mickey as the champion.

Kearns thinks he is justified in making that claim, since, according to him, Walker gave Loughran the hardest (fight of the six bouts Tommy Iiad in defense of his title. If the commission should turn down the request Kearns will ask it to recognize as champion vice Loughran the winner of the Walker-Lomskl fight on Aug. Walker is the world's champion middleweight. Jack Kearns, his manager, affirms that if Loughran defaults the light heavyweight title Walker will clairri it. Kearns says that he is planning to go before the 19 at the Municipal Stadium, Philadelphia.

Furthermore, if Loughran holds onto his title Kearns will ask that the winner on Aug. 19 be sanctioned as the foremost challenger for his crown. Lomski also has given Loughran a hard battle. Getting ready to meet Leo Lomski, Mickey Walker is spending his time getting into condition at Madame Bey's training camp in Summit, N. where he is shown feeding the chickens of the feathered variety "Riding by Huggins Made Gorchakoff and Kussman To Meet Me What I Am Today," Declares Wells Happily 1 i By HARGLI) C.

He carried a ringer glove in his hand and his spikes made a clatter on the concrete.

He swore under his breath as a weazened little figure in white came along the duckboards of the championship of the world, plans to rest until the Maidstone tournament at Southampton.

Distressing though this be to the Sea Bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club, which is opening its blue-blooded de luxe invitation tournament next Monday, the fact remains that Helen Is queen and the queen can do no wrong, and thereS Yankees, had so much stuff that he -j was afraid of himself. But he couldn't average two strikes in five pitched balls. Bill Hallahan leaves a blue, sulphuric streak In the wake of his fast ball. But neither the fast ball nor the blue streak often Eets over the plate for the young St. Louis southpaw.

May has better control than either Beall or Hallahan. He isn't a total loss, but Jack Hendricks, Branch Rickey and every other manager who ever had him moaned to the skies little Jakie's erratic ways and means of pitching. Jakie May Has One of His Days. In about ten games in ten years Mav has been about as great a pitcher as you want to look an. On those rare occasions, when Jaiie has real command of his stuff, his mastery is comparable to that of Dazzy Vance on one of the Dazzler's good davs; he wins in a walk.

Ke had one of those days late last season, when he shut out the Giants at the Polo Grounds, Just as Mr McGraw was planning to move into first place. He had another here vestertlay, when he greeted the visiting Brooklvn Robins with a volley of hard ones, high and inside, almost impossible to hit safely. What, an impressive pitcher May is upon those occasions. Although only about 5 feet 7, Jakie is le-markably robust and strong. His weight would surprise you a cool '20 pounds.

He can and doeo get nil that beef behind his delivery, and when he gets his delivery over the plate wil. labe Acknowledges lay Had His Number.

He was throwing that fast ball high and hard half the time past me before I got my bat around.

May's ast ball is a sort of a sneaker. It's over before you expect Mr Walter Gilbert was somcvhat round-eved. "Gee. he struck me out with a fast ball that I could hardly ee and th.e count was three and two I don't know whether you noticed it or not, but that was the only occasion upon which any of us got' as many as three balls." Declared Johnny Gooch, who caught the game for the Reds: May had an equally good curve, but he was making the Robins hit that hard one, high and inside." Ke is Had Only Two Assists. And furthermore, the Reds had only two assists, both of them going to Clarke Flttenger, the Red Once Doug McWeeny wounded out to George Kelly.

16 was the same thing every afternoon. Manager Miller Huggins spoke to Ed Wells, then pitching for the Detroits. He spoke to By HAROLD C. BURR. The Cubs are Jubilantly clawing their way through all National League opposition at Wrigley Field and consolidating their first piaca position.

With six pitchers ready to start at an Inning's notice, their catching and third-base problems apparently solved and the hitters going out and getting the needful runs McCarthy's machine is beginning to function at its best. "They can't stop us now!" cry the Cubs as they knock over the Giants and PhiUles with equal dexterity and begin to look like the best team In their league. Hal Carlson has returned to win- ning form and Sheriff Blake no longer dreads his one bad Root, Malone, Bush and Nehf round out an impressive-lcyking Some enthusiasts decflire it to be the best collection of flingers in the league. Credit is given Zach Taylor for-his smart handling of the Cub slab-sters. This fine backstop seemed to be doomed to buy his ticket for the bush when Manager McCarthy wisely grabbed hfm.

With "Gabby" Hartnett still out of his harness, another catcher was badly needed. Taylor has filled that need. He's happy in his new surroundings, McCarthy took another chance and sent Norman McMillan to third base in place of Clyde Beck. It took the wanderer of the big leagues a little while to settle down to Just the one job on the one team, but after an indifferent start McMillan is playing bang up ball. Thanks to Hornsby's instructions to stand further away from the plate McMillan is hitting well, too.

au is harmony and pepper on the Cub bench. The boys are eager to get the game started. Not one of them shirks practice. And when not practicing they are watching the enemy at work, noting his strength and his weakness, compar ing notes. This sort of a ball club Is golns to be hard to head again.

Its heart's in the game as well as its hands, feet and eyes. Real Tough Indians. It is Bald bv close students nf baseball who have been close to the American League all season that the Cleveland Indians are one of -the hardest clubs in the junior loop to beat. The Yankees and Athletics, reckoned two of the predatory clubs of the game, have found it so. i he Athletics say they would as soon play the world's champions.

On the season's serle3, Philadelphia has captured 10 out of a possible 15 games, but nearly every one of those 15 games has been hard-fought. In the recent engagements in Cleveland the three games the) Athletics took away with them wers kicked away by Indian mlsplays. The Indians beat the Yanks witH disconcerting regularity. Peck has his ball club hustling and fighting for every break. The former Yankee keeps providing additional proof all the time that he's a mighty good manager.

He has been patiently schooling the club to play smart, different baseball, and, after a year and a half he's getting results. If Cleveland could lead the rest of the Western clubs home under' the wire It would be a personal triumph for Roger Pecklnpaugh. To do that he probably would have to beat out the St, Louis Browns for third money, Canzoneri Gaining Support in Title Ga Chicago, July 27 OP) Sammy Mandell probably will enter, the ring; at Chicago Stadium Aug2 favored to retain his world lightweight title, but Tony Canzoneri, the challenger, is gaining a great following by his work in preparation for the battle.

The only Brooklyn run scored in the ninth inning because the Reds indifferently permitted a Robin runner to advance from first to second base, from where Del Bissonette banged him across with a single. Had it meant anything May would easily have hart a shutout. That is the difference good control makes in the case of this chunky southpaw, who is little more than a second string relief pitcher for the tailend club of the league. If he could only have really good control in about 20 or 25 games a year well, Jakie May would be one of the more or less obscure individuals drawing big league salaries. He'd be just about the last word in modern southpaw pitching.

No lefthander In the game, with th sole exception of Bob Grove, has a better fast ball and few righthanders are in that class. Notes. Douglas McWeeny, the beefing Chicagoan, pitched a pretty good game, but couldn't win in the face of that sort of opposition. Mac's recent dental work seems to have improved his control he allowed only five bases on balls yesterday but it hasn't affected his luck. The rheumatic Mr.

Vance was excused from yesterday's game but warmed up in the bull pen in the late innings, which' is a fair indication that he will pitch this afternoon. 1 Speedy Swanson stole two bases in the third inning, upsetting McWeeny's mental equilibrium and leading up to the big Cincinnati rally of three runs. Incidentally, though Swanson does not look like much of a hitter, he has reached first base in eight of his nine trips to the plate. That's mighty work for a leadofT man.

GIANTS IN THROES Bow to Cardinals by 4to 3 Score Fail to Hold Early Advantage. (Special to The Eagle.) St.

Louis, July 27 Giant pennant hopes are fading as the days go by. Right now, the Giants do not even look like a first division club. This Western tour thus far has been something less than a nightmare but not much. The McGraw men dropped their fifth straight game, yesterday, by losing the opening encounter of the series with the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 to 3.

They have yet to win a game on this western trip. And if they continue to play as they have in the past wecK, they won i. The only consolation, if any, that the Giants got out of yesterday's game was that they led up to the sixth inning. Ray Schalk who managed the club in the absence of John McGraw, got the added satisfaction of being chased from the field by Umpire Magerkurth. The two disagreed on the manner in which balls and strikes should be called.

The Cards captured the ball game by putting the winning run across the plate in the eighth inning. The Cards don't mind seeing the Giants leading as long as its only up to tne sixtn inning. They are more Interested in what the standing is in tne mnin. Tne uiants opened the scoring In the fourth with two runs. Terry doubled, and Ott followed with a single.

Hogan and Reese also singled, scoring the former two. St. Louis regained a run in Its half of the same frame when Frlsch walked and High and Hafey singled The Olants made their final run in tho fifth. With two down. Leach doubled and was brought home by Hogan ny.

wnicn was lost in the sun by Andy High. The Cards had the last word, how ever, scoring two runs In the sev enth to tie the score and another in the eighth, bringing their total to four. Th winning run was tallied when Gelbert singled and Douthlt orougnt mm home with a double.

The Impressive manner in which the French disposed of the Ameri cans In the first day of Davis Cup cnauenge round play virtually dis posed of all hope of America re trieving tne silver bowl this vear. It is beginning to dawn upon the optimists that our team never had a chance. The sweeping answer of the French to the dopesters who tried tnus, nines away as the crow flies, to talk the Davis Cup back to the United States, far from discredits the tennis bats of George Lou and Bill Tllden.

Rather it only emphasizes that the fancy Juggling of entrv lists for tha benefit of gaudy Invitation tournaments at tne expense of a championship meet as rich in traditions as the Metro polltan must end it we are to build up anything but a team that vir tually amounts to a fine collection of stuffed shirts. Title play ought to bring out the taient. instead, we can see an in vitation such as that well, never mind where, but there are two of them during the next two weeks blossoming out with international stars and all that sort of thing, while so old a title as the Metropolitan Is allowed to drag along. It is no thanks to the tennis papas that today offers Gregory Mangin vs. Dr.

ueorge King in tne best singles match of the season to date, And that Hall plus Mercur vs. Gorchakoff and Kussman brings to gether the best two doubles teams in the country at the moment. A Fine Singles Match Is Popular. The question of starving old tournaments for the benefit of new ones and it should be said In fairness that the Sea Bright tournament next week is one of the old slandbys of the game is likely to get a good airing at the next annual meeting of the Lawn Tennis Association, for the murmurs of discontent from title committees Is growing, one might almost with the staging of every title meet. A theory that everything Is being saved for Longwood and Forest Hills hardly holds good, for it Is really remarkable that certain clubs, many of them comparatively new In the history of tennis, can pull the ranking players, while old line championships no longer seem to Interest them.

But such is tennis. Logic allowed to enter only by the tradesmen's entrance. Meanwhile, as a typewriter pounder who Is a mere spectator and who follows the game for the love of It, allow me to become gleeful that, despite the lure of the Canadian tournament nd Denver. end so forth, the Metropolitan finals are to be represented by about as fine a singles match as could be had at this time, Man-gin vs. Dr.

King, and that the name Is close enough to the truth to be repeated for the doubles. Mercur and Hall vs. Gorchakoff and Kussman. The summaries: f)aala. m.f!na Hi'irnl B-n eirfbaliatf snA Arthm Kurn rtfsi-il Wiim Evana anil Eilaard B.

Atlanta is the best baseball point In the Southern League. the young man glanced the by Earl Combs and home runs by Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey. In the next inning the champs knocked Gray mto the visitors dressing room. Wells shut his ears to the weird cries from the Missouri roosting place back of third. In the second inning he got into a little trouble by passing O'Rourke and permit ting Brannon to single to center.

But Tony Lazzerl extricated him by playing Wallie Schang's hard smash expertly, and Gray fouled to Gehrig for the last out. Spectators Thought They Saw Airplanes. That Inning was characteristic of Wells' pitch'ng. When danger was near the St. Louis batsmen went slashing away under the ball.

Ed had his inlield looking up in tne air in nearly every inning for pop Hies. No les3 than 10 Brownies went to their death that, way. Fred Schulte hit the lanky Yankee for a couple of doubles, but 'Heinle Manu.sh didn't get the ball out of the infield until the eighth inning, and then it was Just to raise a simple little fly to Combs. Schulte began the fourth with Ms first two-bagger, but the next three hitters couldn't get the ball past tho inner Yankee cordon. The taunts of the St.

Hug- gins wanted to get Wells' anger aroused. The fraternity calls it rid ing.

Those steps up which visit ing players must come to reach the playing field at the Yankee Stadium are the favorite meeting place of the conversationalists. The mite manager of the world's champions would fling all the old standby goat-getters. He would improvise. Sometimes Wells would answer him. Other times he wouldn't say a word.

The dialogue was always provocative, personal and pungent. Enemies Once Rut Boosters Now. That was in the summer of 1927. Ed Wells has been out of the American League and back In It again since then. Detroit let him go to Washington and the Senators sent him to Birmingham.

It was from that Southern Association team the Yankees purchased him. Miller Huggins doesn't ride Edwin Wells any more as he clatters up the concrete steps of tho dugout. He Just puts him on the back when he comes back to It. Yesterday against Dangerous Dan Howley's St. Louis Browns Wells captured his eighth victory of the season by the shutout score of 90.

Under the necromancy of his long and sweeping left arm the Mlssounans were as harmful as Palmer Cox's original Brownies. "Hug's riding did a whole lot to make a pitcher out of me," confessed Wells, as he wafhed up and Jumped back Into mufti. "It made me sore and I wanted to fight back. It brought out the steel. And he picked out Just the right place for It.

He could have jelled the top of Ills head off If I was in the pitcher's box and I wouldn't have heard it." Everybody Yells At Edwin Wells. Wells did a little brink towel work. "Ochrlg tells me the Jockeys on the Browns' bench this afternoon were pretty pood noise My old rhibs, the Timers and Senators, Kct after me. too. But 1 don't hear any or it.

I'm out there to pitch bail." This new hurling find of the Yanks Is long and lean. Ills brown eyes look shrewdly out of a thin lace wi'h a henlthy layer of tan on It. That proves Ed Wells a good Ditcher. A Jet of ulnbstcrs don stand out In the sun long enough to turn red. let alone brown.

"Little Poker Face," It will be re membered, has honored Sea Bright before this with her presence as a spectator and exhibition player, and not as a competior, but royalty, even in tennis, commands its destiny. Ben Gorchakoff, who contains in his far-flung veins the blood of Russian sovereigns, so they say, must envy Helen her prerogative of deciding upon her course of autioa Ben and his partner, Arthur Kussman, the heroes of Occidental's leafy camps, lost out on a grand trip back to California through the Panama Canal yesterday by winning their semi-final match in the New Ycrk Sectional and Metropolitan championships on the lawns of the Crescent Athletic Club In Bay itidge. And that shows the difference between an up and coming1 young pair of tennis players and a champion who has already arrived. Ben and Arthur Will Take the Train. Among other things, Ben and Arthur announced to the Crescent Club management that they had engaged passage on a ship that sailed today at noon.

If they won yesterday match, they thought It would be a jolly Idea, a bit of all right, In fact. If the management would turn Itself upside down and allow them to play the finals against Frederic Mercur and J. Ollbcrt Hall In the morning. "But why not take the train?" demurred the management, mindful that the doubles final had been set for Saturday afternoon as early as some time late last winter, when the dates for tournaments were approved by the Lord High Approvers of the U. 8.

Lawn Tennis Association. It hardly seemed possible that Hen and Arthur were not aware of the arrangement. Well, one word led to another and for a while yesterday afternoon it looked as though Edward Fleble-man, who Is fumillarly known to his playmates as "Bill," and his southpaw partner, Waller B. Evans of the Oranges, N. would relieve Ben and Arthur of all anxiety about making their boat by the simple process of eliminating them from further participation In the tournament.

It was a five-set match. When It ended It developed that Een and Arthur had made arrangements to take the train. Two Californlnn To "Represent New York. After all, to win the doubles today earns the pair the right to go to Longwood for the national championship a representative of New York.
