PIRATES ALSO FALL TO N Y-

Sues Beat Brooklyn, Going Into Triple Tie

For Third «& By HERBERT \V. BARKER

Associated Press Sports Writer The New York Giants have

tangled for the first time this season with their chief rivals. Chi- cago and Pittsburgh, and the honors must go to John McCraw’s fence-busters beyond dispute.

On the crest of a terrific hitting streak, the Giants rode roughshod over both the Pirates and the Cubs, taking three games out of four from each of the two formidable western clubs. The net result was to give the Giants a firm grasp on the league leadership.

During their last eight games with the Pirates and Cubs as op- ponents. McCraw's sluggers have pounded out 121 hits. Including an even down home runs, and scored 78 runs. The average per game was fl 2-3 runs and 15 1-8 hits.

The Works It remained for the final game

of the series with the Cubs to provide mo6t of the fireworks. The Giants w-on 14 to 13 Nine home runs were hit. three by the Giants and six by the Cubs. This came within one of the record for two teams set bv the Cardinals and Phillies in 1923 and the Cub’s total also lacked but one of the best major league mark for one team. The Cubs equalled the record made by Pittsburgh in 1894 when they pounded out four homers in the seventh inning.

Beating Brooklyn. 6 to 2. Pitts- burgh not only broke a four game losing streak but created a triple tie for third place with the Robins and Cincinnati Reds as their com-

panions. Ervin Bra me gave uo onlv six hits while the Pirates collected 11 off Dudley and Morrison.

Reds Win The Reds nosed out Philadelphia.

8 to 6. for their ninth victory in thier last 12 games. The Phils tied the score In the eighth on Klein's double and Whitney’s single but the Reds came back in theft- half of the same frame to score the winning run on Sukeforth’s triple and Allen's sacrifice fly.

George Pip grass turned in the best pitching performance in the American league when he allowed the Tigers only three hits and hurled the Yankees to a 7-0 win. Lou Gehrig hit his sixth homer of the year in the sixth.

The Boston Red Sox’ five-game winning streak was halted by St. Louis. 3 to 2 in 109 innings. Lisen- bee gave the Browns only four hits in the first nine innings but was

reached for a single, double and a sacrifice fly in the tenth.

The Athletics maintained a half- game lead over Washington for first place by trouncing Cleveland, 13 to 7.

Bob Burke allowed only five hits as Washington trounced Chicago, 13 to 2.

Indians Defeat Cats As Cubs Wallop Steers

By 11-6 Score

(By The Associated Press) The weather man batted 1,000

against the first division teams of; the Texas league yesterday keeping all of them inactive while the sec-

ond division crew peppered away at each other in games which did not affect the main flag race.

Shreveport’s Athletics at Houston and the Wichita Falls Spudders at Beaumont rested while it rained.

The hard working second division

group included a hard fought, elev- en inning struggle in which the

league trailing San Antonio Indians

defeated the Fort Worth Kittens, and the Waco Cubs took a healthy. 11 to 6 wallop at the Dallas Steers.

The Fort Worth-San Antonio

game was the day’s ace in the deck

for excitement, Red Farrell’s time-

ly single in the eleventh scoring Harvey Baliew with the winning streak to two games through the win. and four their batting eyes to the tune of 19 bingles.

Fort Worth tried out four pitch- ers. but the last didn t have any better luck than the first, for he was walkup and was credited with the defeat. Malicky and Smith di-

vided the hurling Job for the In- dians. and Smith got credit for the win after shutting out the Cats for the last five frames.

At Waco, the Cubs got away to a

fast start on the Dallas 8teers. scoring four runs in the first stan- za. They were headed.

frugal person...-Phil Scott was

frugal, too....He asked for change for a dollar when he reached America the last time he came over, so he could tip the steward a quarter..Demp- sey always was pretty loose with his change.... Tunney was generous, but wanted it understood he was nobody’s sap ....But of all the gents who handled their own finances In strictly Scottish fashion, Senor Luis Angel Firpo came first... He couldn’t be bothered with managers when it was Senor Firpo who had to do the fighting.... He still has the first nickel he got for a fight in this country, and the last....

DRIVING DOES NOT LURE HIM

Chip Off Old Block Hired

By De Paolo As

Mechanic

Bv NTA Service_ INDIANAPOLIS SPEEDWAY,

May 13.—When Chios fall off the Duesenberg block, it means speed in automobile racing

Denny Duesenberg, 16-year-oia son of Fred Duesenberg. famous builder of racing cars, is serving his apprenticeship as mechanic on

the cars Peter De Paolo, two-time American champion, is preparing for the international 500-mile race

for $100,000 here May 30. ‘•I hired him because he is the

smartest kid I’ve ever seen around motors.” declares De Paolo, who

served as mechanic to his uncle, Ralph De Palma, before he won

the 1925 500-mile race at Indian-

apolis. establishing a record or

101.13 miles an hour for the dis-

tance. which still stands. “I have a terrible time keeping

that boy In school around race

time," moans Denny s father. Only the other day the nurse In the

school he attends called me and

explained that Denny had some-

thing in his eye and would have to be sent to a doctor. Denny left

school and in half an hour was at

De Paolo’s garage. 1 think it was

a piece of De Paolo’s car he had in his eye."

Intimates rush forward with the

Information that young Duesenberg Is an honor student in the high school which he attends. Nothing Is less than B on his report card md always there is a generous sprinkling of A plus.

"But his English and foreign language teachers are forever com-

plaining about him." criticizes his father, who secretly is elated over

the fact that his son is naturally proficient In arithmetic, algebra, geometry, engineering and shop.

*T didn't want him to be an en-

gineer.” explains tne miracle maker of motors, "but his mind seems

made up. He is old for his years. I want him to do what he wants. After he has graduated from high school. I will send him to Purdue

University for two years and then to Boston Tech for two more

Fred Duesenberg did not go to

college. "I don’t ever want to be a race

driver.” confides young Denny, de-

spite the fact that he has been a

mascot for Duesen’oerp racing teams since he was in swaddling clothes. “I had rides with Jimmy Murphy in his cars almost before I could walk and since then I have ridden with many of the other stars. But I enjoy the mechanical side of racing much more than I do driving I'd rather tinker with a motor than be the speedway champion. But some dav I will try to build the car that will carry some driver to a champonship. That really is my ambition.”

Four years ago, young Duesen- berg surprised his father by blast- ing the sides of his dime bank and purchasing a second hand motor- cycle engine. Weeks later, after much secret hammering, grinding and sawing in the garage behind his palatial home here. Denny drove out the big garage doors and park- ed his conception of a boy’s automobile before the doors of his home for his father’s inspection.

"The darned thing ran. too” laughs his dad in recollecting the i

instance. When Christmas comes to the

Duesenberg home. Santa Claus scampers down the chimney with welding outfits, tools drawing boards and instruments instead of useless foible.

With the proceeds of his first two weeks pay as mechanic for Be Paolo’s 500-mile race cars, young Duesenberg added his allowance and purchased an electric grinder for the De Paolo gtrage.

"That’s the final proof he is a

born mechanical crack brain." said his father when he was apprised of Denny’s act. “Hell be spending every dollar he gets his hands on to purchase some new tools or to try out some new idea, Instead of hav- ing some pleasure with his earn- ings."

“But if he does build something that is different—and works— he will be happier than most people ever are.” he reflected.

EMAN COPS OVER MALONEY

LOS ANGELES. May 13—OF)— San Francisco's battling barrister, Armand Emanuel, today held a 10- round decision over Jim Maloney, Boston Heavyweight, a late rally here last night resulting in the victory.

The victor was outweighed 20 pounds, entering the ring at 187

Molaey Jarred Emanuel In the fourth with hard overhand right* to the head and again in the ninth round hammered the barrister sev-

erely about the head and body. Emanuel weathered the storms and

came back strong in the tenth. He apparently was ruperlor in the first three rounds, with Maloney scoring In the fourth, eight and ninth and with the fifth, sixth and seventh even.
