GOLFER FAVORED ARE MAINTAINING SLOWER PACE THAN THE RED SOX Have Rated at .333 Since July 1, While Chancemen Have Winning Average in Same Period. Split Double Bill in Boston Yesterday BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, July 26.—Unless the Nationals cop this afternoon in the final game of the series of four with the Red Sox they will return B cellar berth, now occupied by their present adversaries. When the \Chancemen took the first part of vesterday's double bill, 7 to 6, they climbed to within three games of the Nationals, so the latter did not get so far away from the lowly position winning the second tilt, 15 to 3. From now on Bush's outfit probably will have to battle desperately to keep out of the last slot in the standing, for since July 1 it has been play- ing at a slower pace than the present occupant. The Nationals have rated along at no better than .333, while the Red Sox have a winning average of .357 for the same time. Taking today's game is not likely to prove easy. The Red Sox have ready for mound duty none other than Howard Ehmke, who this year has been the most sensational pitcher in Ban Johnson's circuit. Even with such a mediocre buncl as that which represents Boston behind him Ehmke is quite formidable. Bush really has but one hurler-left to start for the Nationals. He is Paul Zahniser, who has been not so strong in his last few appearances. The Nationals did not deserve any- thing more than the even break they got 2 double-header. inef- John- FINISH RIGHT (FIRST GAME.) | WASHINGTON. AB. R. H.

Johnson then romped through the game, pitching with control most perfect, and had he cared to e ert himself, probably could have reg- istered a shutout, The Nationals jumped into a lead early in the first encounter, threc singl and a double in a row, a s: ind another one-baser uns_off Ferguson in Murray then as- le off him, h rais- | ' run total to five. | Rice, rf.

His successor, Murray, could not find the plate and before the inning ended the ationals had six more runs, the new hurler forcing in two of them. Clustered hits ac- counted for more Natlonal scores in the fifth, seventh and eighth innings The Red Sox bunched a pair of dou- bles in the fifth for their first run and in the ninth they. got two more tallles with three singles and a triple.

USES LUMINOUS GOLF BALL SEEKING RECORD SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 27—Nick Morris of 8an Antonio, who recently lost the world record for “marathon golt,” teed off at 1 a.m. today with an {lluminated ball, confident that ere the day’'s sun has run ity course he will have putted into 300 holes and have regained his laurels. When he set a record of 238 holes, he felt confident it would hold for a while, but soon the 257 mark was reached. In arranging for the pres- ent eftort, Morris figured 300 holes should hold the crown for a little while. He was confident as he teed off, the illuminated ball streaking straight down the fairway like a minfature meteor. “I know I can do it.” he said, started for his approach shot. His former record at 238 holes was made in 15 hours 15 minutes, and on that time basis muet play until 8 p.m. for his 300 holes. As he teed up his first ball the moon was shining over the course with a radiance that approached day- light, Fo eliminate obstacles that handi- apped Morris' former play. the bunk- | ers will be kept well raked through- | out the day. In several instances be- fore, he got to bad lies when some buffer just ahead of him had left his brand in the sand. Although the gallery was small at the early morning start, there is no doubt that_traffic cops will be neces- sary before the feat iy completed, and_arrangements have been made for Morris to have right of way over all players. Morris is twenty-seven vears old and a well known Texas player. ST. JOHN'S GETS LUSH. ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 27.—Billy Lush, former base ball and basket ball coach at the Naval Academy, has been signed as athletic director !at st. John's College. He will tutor all sports s he Sweetser, a young Yale student, who rushed to the golfing zenith in two years and won the national title last year at Brookline by defeating Evans in the finals, 3 and 2, has been playing good golf in this meet.

Chick Taking it Easy. Evans has taken it easy thus far, breezing around in 75—71—148 for qualification, defeating James Ward of Kansas' City and Ellsworth Augustus_of Cleveland without ex- tending himself and then bestl; Fred Lamprecht of Cleveland yester- day handily after the young local player had forced the champlon to par golf and better for the frst eighteen holes. Evans is thirty-three years old and has been a noted golfer for fifteen years, having held nearly all the titles in” America and being the only golfer ever to win both the national open and amateur crowns in one year. He still holds the record low score for the national open, 286, made in 1916. His opponent {s just of age, husky and loose-jointed, free of business cares and with all the shots in his bag that Evans has, except the cut brassie, although possibly not having the finesse of execution that his slighter rival is sald to have. Course Fine Test of Golf. The Mayfield course is a test of golf in a high degree, its hills, vales, woods and creeks furnishing an infinite variety of shots to test the placement and match ability in every manner.
