TYGERS TO COME FRIDAY FOR 6 GAMES IN 4 DAYS|z: Quinn Bests Eric and Gets 4 to 3 Verdict on Holiday, . But Francis Cops, 2 to 0, to Give Griffs Split on Day and Series With Sox. BY DENMAN HE Nationals are indulgi playing host for a secon T THOMPSON. in a couple of days’ rest preparatory to time this season to the western division of the American League, and they will need it, for a strenuous pro- gram confronts them. The Tygers, vanguard of the invaders, arrive Friday for a sojourn of four days, in which half a dozen battles are listed for disposition, dcubl&headers being booked for both Friday and Satur- day. Cobb’s crew always has been one of the best of drawing cards at the local lot, regardless of their position in the race, and the fact that they now occupy the niche coveted make the approaching clashes more attractive than usual. ess an advantage of just one game over the Nationals, and the ision berth is the goal should inject extra pep into the Cats pos fact that a first d proceedings. To date this yvear the Tygers have a bu on the Griffs, having won four of the six games played.

Qulun Outpitches Eric. i Olat Erickson proved unequal to the fask of bafiling the Bostonese at critical the forenoon af- fair, being ed for costly blows in four diffe rounds. Jack Quinn vielded bingles that meant runs on three but was effective enough | ater stages when & hit would have sunk him. This was particularly true in the eighth, when with two on and none out he got out f the he ifter purposely passing har ¢ to fill the bases, by thwart- ing Manager Milan, who hurled him self into the fray as a pinch hitter. Again in the ninth Quinn stood the e Smith and Peck simgled in suc- cesion, but neither Rice nor Shanks could get a ball out of the infleld, and after Brower bingled to register one tally Sten Haris was turned back. Francis in Fine Form. Masterful pitching by Francis and a pair of timely bingles by Riee ac- counted for the copping of the matinee contest. The Seattle southpaw per- mitted half a dozen blows, but they were Strung out over as many in- nings. Bill Piercy, his mound Tival. vielded o five ‘safeties, but two wers grouped in_each of the first and eighth_ frames, in each Instance Rice scoring punch. sSam’s first bingle was a three-bagger down the right field line in the opening round and came after a double to the same place by Smith and Peck's sac- rifice. Francis himself paved the way for the other run in the eighth, when he hit to left with one gone. Pratt's wild toss of Smith's offering put Ray on second and he scored, after Peck lined to Leibold, when Rice hounced a safety over the head of Joe Harris. Ray fn Danger Twice. Francis was in danger only twice and came through in impressive fash- fon on_both occasions. He started poorly by walking Lelbold. Maynard, popped and Lelbold was forced by J. Harris, but the latter took second on Stalney's wild haeve, Pratt singled off the pitcher's glove, and Dugan was wounded, filling the bases. The whiffing of Collins relieved this situ- ation. In the seventh Collins led off with s wallop over Rice's head for three bases, but Francis tossed out Me- nosky, Shanks took care of Ruel in a spectacular manner and Piercy suc- cumbed on strikes. Latest Griffmen to register at the hospital are Judge and Goslin. The firstsacker has a_torn llgament in his right leg as the result of a col- lislon with Dugan in Sunday’s game. Judge enjoyed the distinction with Rice and Harris of belng the ony Griffmen to participate in every game played this year. He may be able to resume services Friday. providing the The extent of Goslin's injury will not be known until an x-ray is taken of his left ankle which he hurt in crashing against the left fleld pa- valion wall In chasing a foul In the fifth inning of the morning game. The moecident to Goslin occurred in his first appearance as a regular fol- lowing more than a month of idle- ness due to a pair of broken bones in his arm, and it it develops that his ankle is cracked he will be on the shelf again for a similar length of time. Bad weather kept a lot of fans away from the ball park yesterday, a few more than 8,000 attending the morning game, which was halted for half an hour by raln after the sixth {nning, and less than 65,000 turning out for the afternoon affair. Smith, Rice and Brower boosted their batting averages a bit on the holilday, Turkey topping the list with four safeties. That productive hit of Erickson's was his _second of the season and boosted Olaf's batting average from 045 to 080, The fauns are thoroughly impressed with Zachary's prowess as a bats- man. They yelled for him to hit in a pinch for Erickson in round eight of the first game, but Milan declined to shirk what he considered to be his job. Brower, Rice, Peck and Stan Har- ris turned in fielding bits of & note- worthy nature in the morning game: Lelbold and Pratt also contributed some stellar stuff. Goslin was greeted with applause on his first appearance at bat and ‘was cheered again when he limped oft the field injured for a second time this season. It appeared for a time in the sev- enth inning of the afternoon game that Harris would be added to the long list of Milan's casuals. Stanle; stopped one of Piercy’s fast ones wi: his elbow and had to take time out to recover. He seemed somewhat dazed and was nearly picked off first ‘when he resumed ‘play.' Then he showed his mettle by swiping second. Shanks pulled two feature plays in the second game. His leaping stab of Ruel's crash in the seventh held Collins on the far corner, and he flag- ged Dugan with a fine throw after knocking down a nasty crack in the ninth, — Frank Brower put up & very cred- ftable game subbing at first base in the absence of Judge. He handled everything that came his way.

OVERCOMES HANDICAP, GAINS ATHLETIC FAME COLUMBIA, Mo, July 6.—Al- though he was physically handicap- ped in boyhood, doctors saying he Would not be able to walk again, Brutus Kerr Hamilton has finished one of the greatest versatile college athletic careers by graduating from the University of Missouri Hamii%on, who won the American Qecathlon and pentathlon champlon- ships, suffered from a diseass of the hip when he was ten years old, it was learned today, and a physiclan told his parents at Harrisonville, Mo., there was no hope for the boy's physical recovery. The youth's left leg was said to be more than an inch shorter than the right leg. But the seemingly hopeless event took place—young Brutus was cured of his physical handicap. He enter- ed high school and by sheer perse- verance and will power attained many honors on track and fleld. Matriculating Into the University of Missouri, the star high school ath- lete game under the eye of Coach Bob_Simpson, the world's greatest hurdler in his college days. ! Seeing his versatility, Coach Simp- son continued the development of HamiNon as an all-round athiete. Hamilton always finished high in pole vaulting, broad and high jumps, shot putting, discus and javelln throwing, sprinting and hurdling, and carried away many victories for the University of Missouri in meets. Be- sides, he was captain of the varsity Tfger foot ball eleven last year. He also participated in the . Olympic games at Antwerp In 1930.

The former record was 18 1-5. Pad- dock also set a new record of 12 1- seconds for the 125 yard dash. The old record was 12 2-5 seconds The record for the sixty-five yard distance was not disturbed. MONTAGUE IS VICTOR INLEGION ROAD RAGE James H. Montague and Mike Lynch, Aloysius Club harriers, shared honors “yesterday in the elght-mile road run from Hyattsville, Md, to the White House, conducted under the auspices of fhe District of Co- lumbia department of the American Legion. The former, with a handi- cap of four and one-half minutes won the event and a_ diamond-stud- ded medal, while Lynch, veteran hiker, starting from scratch, finished second with a time of 46 minutes 30 seconds, best of the fleld. Montague's ‘actual running time was 47 minutes. ‘Aloysius Club's team won the com. manders trophy when Eddie Bland finished in eighth place. No other organization had three representa- tives among the first ten runners to cross the final ilne. Twelve of the twenty-one hikers on the entry list started and all but one finished. Montague ran well the entire route. He started briskly and passed most of the other contenders before reach- ing the District line. He'was quite fresh at the finish. Lynch also ran well within himself and appeared strong enough at the finish to travel as many miles moré. Ed Taber, former Tome athlete, com- peting for the first time in ‘a race at more than & mile, showed plenty of speed and stamina_and finished third. Sam Martin of Western High Schoo! was fourth and Al Connolly fifth, The next five in order were Henry Haynle, Baltimore Cross-Coun- try Club; A. L. Helbig, unattached; E. A. Bland, Aloysius Club; Joseph Stemple, Costello Post, and C B Brooks, unattached. 2O0-MILE AUTO RACE. 1S TAKEN BY-MURPRY TACOMA SPEEDWAY, TACOMA, ‘Wash., July 5-—Jimmy Murphy,, sen- eational automobile race driver, added to his laurels yesterday by winning the eleventh annual speedway classic. nflfl:} covered the 250 miles at the Tate 97.6 miles an hour. Tommy Milton took second place after lead- ing Murphy nearly all the way. Milton went into second place at| the 2! thile,” when he.was, forced to go into the pits and changa a tire. He was. ufable, theréafter, to regain the lead. ¥ _Rosicoe Sarles took third place with Harry Joy Wonderlich fourth and Hartse fifth. ; Murphy's time for the 250 miles was 2.33.66 3-5, while Milton was lesd than six seconds behind him. 4 7 The 97.6-miles-an-houy' ape £ iy & DETROIT GETS BIG JOLT IN HOLIDAY TWIN BILLS aspi H OLIDAY games in the major leagues were devold of fireworks, the ing Detroit Tygers sustaining the principal damage when they dropped both ends of a double-header to Tris Speaker’s larruping Indians. The Chicago Cubs’ double victory over Pittsburgh was the only other twin triumph of the day. The double reverse suffered by Detroit was a hard blow to Ty Cobb. Morton and Coveleskie were in rare form on the mound for Cleveland, while the Tribe made merry with six Tyger twirlers, winning 4-2 and 11-4, The Athletics finally took a game trom New York, winning the moi ing encounter, 3 to 1, due to Hasty's fine pitching, but the Yankees gath- ered in the afternoon fracas, 6 to 1, Sam Jones going the full route ef- fectively for the first time in many moons. The battling White Sox, with *No- hit” Robertson In good form, pulled out the morning game against St. Louls, 5-3, but dropped the afternoon contest to the league ledders by a similar score, the Browns taking advantage of Faber's one bad In- ning. Raln folled New York and Brooklyn in the forenoon, while in the after- noon the two teams battled to a tle in fourteen innings. The obins knotted the count in the ninth and both teams scored in the tenth. Rogers Hornsby’s nineteenth homer of the season was s big factor in St. Louls' victory over Clncinnatl, 6-5, in the second game, after the Cardinals had dropped a slugging beo, 11-9, in the forenoon. Hard hitting gave the Cubs a dou- ble victory against Pittsbyrgh, 8-4 and 8-0, Vic Aldridge holding the Pirates to two hits in the second game. Goldle Rapp's great stop, startin a double play with the bases ful checked the Boston Braves after they had scored three runs in the ninth and enabled Philadelphia to win the only game these teams played, b to 3.

I FOR THE GAME’S SAKE By Lawrence Perry. T is evident that English professional golfers are formulating plans to revenge their defeat at Sandwich by an American invader. They in- tend to participate in the American open at Skokie in larger numbers than ever before, and in event that a Briton is sufficiently fortunate—or skillful—to win, there may be no question that the reception that at- tended Walter Hagen's arrival in this country will be duplicated in Lon- don, if not transcended. What seems to have irked our friends across the occan was that their open title was won by a native American player who learned and de- veloped his game in this country—a home bred. Conversely this was al- together pieasing to Americans, who last vear felt that it would be running it out pretty well to enthuse over- much over the sucoess of Jock Hutch- ison, a player who was reared In a foreign land and merely brought along his excellent game of golf as a part of his traveling effects. And as for the British, they could not feel too badly over the fact that one of their own, who had happened to adopt another country had won the highly prized title. For the fact rqmained that his_prowess was a ritish _product, Haren, however, offered them no such balm in Gilead. This year at Sandwich there was no Scotch burr or cockney twang to the eagle's scream. Hence the grim fervor MARYLAND ATHLETES MAKE LOCALS HUSTLE Athletes of the 5th Regiment, Mary- 1and National Guard, gave the team of Costello Post a brisi battle yesterday in that orzanization’s track and field carnival. held at Georgetown Univer- eity. With a well balanced team, the Baltimoreans scored in a majority of the events contested, for a total of twelve points, just one shy of the amount recorded by the hosts. Al- though outpointed by the Leglonnaires, the Maryland ,guardsmen were pre. sented with thg sllver trophy offered for the high-scoring team in the games. Despite a soggy track, several good marks were turned in. Walstrum of the 5th Regiment nosed out Birthright of Costello Post by running the cen- tury dash in 10 1-5 seconds. Dorsey Grifith, track leader of Costello Post, grabbed the quarter-mile laurels when he covered the distance in 52 3-§ sec- onds. Simmonds of Killeen Post was best in the half-mile run. A half-mf relay went to Costello Post, but it was defeated by Killeen speeders in a nov- elty relay. Three bicycle races were contested. A mile affalr for boys under sixteen years old was won by Solomon Munits in 2 minutes 50 seconds. Joseph Gauz- za was second and Charles Smithson third. A three-mile open race went to C. L. Payne, who did the course in § minutes 44 seconds. J. G. Flatow was second and Vincent Messino third. In & consolation race of one mile, M. H. Cincendiver pointed the way. Costello Post’s nine broke even in a pair of base ball tilts. In the morn- ing IKilleen Post's team was van- quished, 2 to 1 in a rain-haited, five- nning ~ engagement Knickerbocker Club beat the Leglonnaires, 4 to 8, in the afternoon. - — YALE ATHLETICS PAY. The past year has been a financial sunces: for Yale. With the ald of their increased foot ball receipts the Elis have been able to take over the New Haven arena for boxing and hockey, to pay for & new track and to settle up the rest of their war debt.: Whatever surplus may remain will be used for the erection of a new athletio clubhouse and several tennis courts. - NINETY-FIVE years in busi- ness—making lubricants for gears long before there were any automobiles—so is the product of long ence and scientific tests, Use cold weather.

As to this, there comes a thought, a drop of alloy in our national pride. '1f the American brand of golf is to con- tinue to stand supreme after the as- sault at Skokle, what homebred will have proved himself to be the Horatius of the occasion? ‘Walter Hagen perchance. But if not he, then who? Echo answers who? For there would seem to be quite a gap between the winner of this year's British open and our next native son. Friends and admirers of Leo Diegel, who was tied with a fellow American and Harry Vardon for second place in 1930, when Ted Ray won the American open, may deny that a gap exists. We hope it does not. And adherents of Gene Sarazen may offer similar denial. And again it may be hoped they have reason for thelr claims. For these two are among our younger professionals, and it is high time that some one arrived to assist our veteran celebrity, Hagen,, in the task _of demonstrating to the world that high- clasg golf s a plant that thrives In the western hemisphere with an opulence and beauty not exceeded in the high or low lands of Scotla or the rolling links of Albion. .

Miss Bauer set new backstroke marks today for 50 yards, 200 yards, 200 meters and 220 yards, in special invitation events. She broke her own record of 35 3-5 seconds for 50 yards by a full sec- ond, leading Miss Riggin and Miss Frances Clarke of Philadelphia to the finish Iine. Her three other records, all made in the 230-yard event, were: 200 yards, 2 minutes 51 4-6 seconds; 200 meters, 3 minutes 6 4-5 seconds; 220 yards, 3 minutes 7 1-5 seconds. Miss Clarke was second and Miss Dorothy Dono- hoe of Women's Swimming Associa- tion third. Migs Riggin, competing from scratch in . handicap 300-yard invitation race, beat Miss Ethel Baker, a club- mate, in breaking the former record of 4 minutes 23 seconds, made by Mrs. Charlotte Boyle Clune in 1911 Miss Riggin's time was ¢ minutes 17 3-6 seconds. ONLY ‘ST. LOUIS ENTRANT EVER IN LEAD TWO WEEKS BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, July 5.—The fateful Fourth of July has passed and a rare event has been recor N into midseason with a record of hav base ball. A St. Louis club, in this instance the St. Louis club of the American League, has gone ing been in first place for more than a fortnight. Again the junior major league has outstripped its senior rival, for the National League, since the days when Chris von der Ahe was a power in the national game, has never been dble to brag of a first- place credit mark for the St. Louis team. In 19'1, when Roger Bresnahan managed the Cardinals, the rated pennant contenders, and were to first place. They were only four the race for a long period. Then came a train wreck at Bridge- port, in which the car bearing the St. Louls players was shattered, and the fright and shock of the wreck unnerved the team completely. Some of them would not go through Bridgeport for more than a year, in- sisting on being transported between New York and Boston by another route. If the old 4th of July proverb was rellable, the St. Louis Browns and the Glants would be the con- tenders for the world series In 1922. The spell was broken last year, how- over, and prior to then there were several years when it did not work out. The American League race is far too uncertain to have implicit confidence that it will work out this year. Too many combinations are DPossible in the race.. Old League Race Simplified. So far as the National s con- cerned, there seems to be little fight left in any but three clubs. Phila- delphia, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are very mediocre. They may rally, but it needs more than a rally to stop New York. It needs a determined, plucky demon- stration which shali offset the per- tifacity of the Glants, who have been made to believe that they are the best in their league, and, think- ing that, refuse to concede that they can be beaten. In the National race on the 4th of July there was mothing big. Chi- cago ~defeated Pittsburgh twice. That did not amount to a great deal. It seemed to emphasize the fact that Pittsburgh with Gibson gone as man- ager is more or less played out as winning combination. = It looks very much as if the gossip and jabber about the team and the consequent talk among the players is about to leave Barney Dreyfuss a disappointed man. Possibly he will be more disappoint- ed than in 1921, although no owner can get much more of & shock than to seo a pennant slide away from him with the season a scant thirty days to go. This, too, when his team hed been ric’ leader all the wRy. ’t looks as if a lot of discouraged leaders and owners will have to grit their teeth and see the New York team slide ay from them again unless the Giants get the rickets on the ‘western trip now beginning and play & heap of bad base ball, as they did on the first trip they made to the west. Tygers Get Hard Blow. The event in the American League on the Fourth was the double defeat of Detroit by Cleveland. It hit hard. With a team that had been going along as Detroit had been traveling it rips into the morale of the players to lose two games in one day. Some call §t morale to be polite and others refer to it in a more vulgar way. The Detroits are back to an even .500. They are not to be counted out as champlonship contenders by any means, but to be really worth while; in & position of commanding impor- tance they should have closed their ac- count on the Fourth at least .550 to the good and as much better as pos- sible. Chicago has come out of the back- ground and really made itself more prominent than Detroit, though Chi- cago will have to do much better than v were for a while, but they never attained or five games behind the leaders in ENGLISH NAME POLOISTS.
