3 SP USE OF NEMO ORTS. IN OUTFIELD + WILL TIGHTEN UP DEFENS Midget Does Not Figure to Bolster Attack of Griffs, However—Tygers Here Today to Inaugurate , Invasion of Western Clubs. I BY JOHN B. KELLER. STER more than three wecks A of experimenting, Manager Rucky Harris has decided that from the material available he cannot select a better outfield for the Nationals than that which served the club during the greater part of last season. Today when the local representa- tive in the American League is schedu led to face Ty Cobb and his ferocious Tygers in the first game of a long home stay, Nemo Leibold, who has been adorning the bench most of the time since the present campaign began, will assume the right field job and hold it at least until the club is able to get more gardeners for trial. Leibold will be the fourth man to be used in right field by the Na- tionals since the season opened. sters tried there early in the spring, while Carl E French leave. Youngster now at Lance Richbourg, George Fisher and Carr Smith, young- departed from the club legitimately, st, reputed slugging demon procured from Minneapolis, took recruit from Nashville and the only and, has not impressed the manager particularly either afield or at bat during the past week, so the veteran Leibold will keep. com- par Undoubtdely the _restoration _of Nemo to his old job should strengthen the defense of the Nationals, for there are few ficlders more able to go and get ‘em than this pudgy little athlete. Ha can cover a deal of territory and appears to know what he is about when on the field, a characteristic certainly not displayed by some of the other men who have been used in the outer works. Leaves Attack Unstrensthened. But there seems little likelihood ©f the Nationals' attack being bolster- ed by the return of Leibold to the line-up. The veteran never has been & hitter. Last year he sur- ry one by slamming the ball rate for the second best mark in his lengthy big league carcer, but this year he has not indicated’ that he has retained punch. Leibold has found it It to round into good condition superfluous poundage re- leave during the training season, and recently he has been troubléd with digestive disorders. However, Manager Harris must turn to Leibold a last resort. A lack of Teserve material threatens to handicap the new manager as it did Donie Bush, who piloted the club last season, especially where his outfield is concerned. Of course, every ef- fort will be madn to remedy the situ- ation, but getting likely prospects at this time of on is a difficult matter. Ne with another American a that would brin were made | the deal has gone by though Har complishing it. Bluege Makes Fine Showing. One of the National ant lot of Teserve plavers certainly appeared to advantage when opportunity came his week. Ossie_Bluege, who into Roger Peckinpaugh's after the latter was!spike- ed in Boston, put up a remark- e game at shorctstop and revealed nexpected punch at bat. Bluege < much more at home around the short field than at the hot cormer, | where ho was employed much of the | time last year, and appears to have | forgotten bout that t knee | that put him out of action while the club was in training in Florida. He made several spectacular plays s three games in the Red Sox series, coming through with a par- ticularly brilliant one in connectipn double play.

Bluege, though, may be retired from the game today, as Peck’'s wounded knee is fairly iwell healed and the veteran was to be sent into the line- up when anything like physically fit, Peck was in a severe fielding slump when the accident that forced his retirement occurred, and the lay-off may have been beneficial.

The young South American’'s dream of wearing the most prized crown in all fightdom was rudely broken by the thud of his own body when the husky middle westerner sent him to the canvas in the seventh round of their ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden last night. It was Romero’s American debut. But before he was eliminated from the heavyweight series the swarthy Chilean reinforced the conviction left by Luis Firpo that South Americans can fight. Four times before the knockout the invader, streaming blood, was beaten to the canvas; but after the second Of these falls he sent Johnson sprawling, and after the fourth he returned with a final spasm of fury that sent the American reeling before him about the ring. Then the glory departed for Quintin. The knockout blow came in the seventh round after the Chilean had been knocked about from corner to corner, sagging, but striving mightily to evade the knockout Confusion following the knockout | was caused by an Inadvertment ring- ing of the gong, which at first gave the impression that the fight had been stopped and Johnson awarded a technical knockout. Morrie Schlaiffer, Omaha middle- weight, knocked out Harry Martone of Jersey City in the sixth round of an eight-round semi-final. Joe Stoes- sel of New York, former amateur heavyweight champlion, knocked out Tommy Gardner of the Pacific coast in the third round of a six-round preliminar; SEMI-FINALS ARE LISTED IN CHEVY CHASE TENNIS S sre in an exhibition match, most likely against R.

Connie and Rol Doyle, in a “come-back,” which had been preceded by no real preparation, gave way to Davis and Hellen after three sets, 3—6, 6—4, 6—2, but at that the clash was the only closely con- tested one of the aftérnoon.

Inside Golf By Chester Hortol The golfer who keeps the oblique plane of his swing functioning as it should will find himself free from a 1ot of golf annoyances, and I have known many players whose to- tal of troubles re- sulted from this one thing. Ttisa common thing to see a player with a fine swing who is unable to ac- complish anything on the ball. He is a pusale, even to himself. He loses the plane of his swing at xome point. Keep thix plane in its proper rela- tion, in the back swing of your club, and ‘the measure of your ability at £01f will become an open book in your own hands. You need not be com- cerned about the forward swing if this plane is maintained in the back swing. Every now and then, as you know, you conmect with a good long ome. Your sole aim is to be able to duplieate such shots. Chances are that in the accidental long drive you maintained your obligue plane throughout the swing. Next time you wee a picture of one of the great play- ers observe the of his hands with relation to his head, at the top of his back swimg. This will show you how the left arm takes the club away up.

McCALLUM. ROL!\ND MACKENZIE has arrived. A seventeen-year-old lad, a stu- dent at Western High School, heap about Washington. For has reached the top of the golfing four years local golidom has given nothing conclusive as to the best player of the year. Ever since Robert L. Finkenstadt left Washington in 1920 there has been a tinge of doubt as to the best golfer in the Capital. Today there is no doubt. Roland MacKenzie stands at the top. He capped a two-week golfing campaign yesterday by handing Chris J. Dun- phy a conclusive trimming, decisive in its finality and impressive in its execution. The lad has won two big golf tournaments in the last two weeks—the Washington Golf and Country Club event last week and the Indian Spring Club’s event yesterday. MacKenzie yesterday beat Dunphy by 2 and 1, after reaching the turn 1 down to the veteran. And in the tournament was every Eolfer of prominence about the city. There are no “ifs, ands or buts” this time. He waded through Tucker- man, Stevinson, Earl McAleer and then Dunphy in impressive fashion, through the hardest part of the draw, in a tournament wherein all the lead- ing linksmen of the city had gather- ed. There may have been a shadow of doubt last week, but today there is none. Roland MacKenzie has reached ‘the peak of amateur golf about Washington. The youngster's hardest match of the tournament came yesterday morning when Earl McAleer, a public links product, and a southpaw, who used to be one of the finest sand- lot base ball pitchers about Wash- ington, carried Roland to the nine- teenth hole, and appeared to have him whipped at the seventeenth. But class told and Roland, after giving McAleer a half at the eighteenth, stuck a mashie shot ten feet from the pin at the nineteenth to win the match. Dunphy, in the meantime, had been having troubles of his own with George J. Voigt, another pub- lic park “golfer and the reigning municipal champion. Dunphy finally won on the last hole, where Voigt missed a five-foot putt o square. Outplays the Veteran Dunphy. And then Roland went out in the afternoon and proceeded to show Dunphy, the master of the medium iron, how to play a medium iron and a mashie. The lad collected for him- self on his final lap around Indian Spring four birdies and an eagle. That's all. And as Leo Diegel re- marked, while he watched Dunphy go down to defeat, that sort of golf would beat the best of them When the match ended on the seventeenth the winner had a par 4 for a 75 with three 6s scattered through his card on the first nine. One of his mashie shots from 160 vards nearly holed, while another to Ting up a birdie at the eleventh left him but a three-foot putt. The eagle came at the second hole to square, by virtue of a fine iron shot and a twen- ty-foot putt. He reached the twelfth hole in two shots, the first time any one has done it since Wednesday morning, when the rain started. That 4 was really a birdie. He outdrove and outputted Dunphy, forcing the former District champion to play the odd from every tee. But he didn't outgame Dunphy. That can't be done, for the Columbia veteran is a fighter from every angle. Roland dropped the first hole when his only apparent fault cropped out— a hook on his long iron shots, which in this case dropped his ball into a bunker. But he came back with a real vengeance at the second, holing a twenty-footer for an eagle 3. And with Dunphy to the left of the green at the third, Roland shanked a mashie shot and got only a half, Dunphy missing a four-foot putt to win. The first of a great series of iron shots came at the fourth where the lad's long mashie ended but a foot and a half from the pin, and he won the hole with a 3. Carelessness around the green cost him a half at the fifth, for he took three putts from position inside Dunphy and the match was square. The Real Thrill of Match. The stage was all set then at the sixth for the real thrill of the match. Dunphy, with the honor, put his mashie shot thirty-five feet to the right of the pin, while MacKenzie was on the line twenty feet short. The vet- eran sank his 35-footer and the kid Stepped up and ran his putt down. Two birdies. At the seventh it be- came Dunphy’s turn to grow care- le: for the youngster topped his tee shot into the water hazz.lu:‘d finvd yet got a half in 6, for Dunphy play- d his pitch carelessly and then took 3 to get down from the edge of the green ) v became 1 up at the eighth, w}]x—)e‘lx':pgzl&nd hooked his second shofil out of bounds and lost the hole, 4-6. Ten feet from the hole off the tee Roland missed the putt at the ninth and turned 1 down. Then he started a series of great shots which brought him back from the rim of defeat ar;fl won for him his second tourney in fortnight. He holed a twenty-five- footer for a 4 at the tenth, where Dunphy's chip was short and the match was square. Then Roland hit another mashie shot up against the pin at the eleventh to win and be- Come 1 up, and put another hole in the bag when he got home in 2 at the twelfth, well inside Dunphy's ‘h"l‘rge;hol:alv!‘d the thirteenth, al- though Roland's putt for a 3 hit the cup and they halved the fourteenth in par.

Answered by RAY SCHALK Catcher, Chicago White Sox. One of the greatest backstopm of all time. Has canght in 100 or more games per season for the past twelve years. * *x * % A catcher should at all times fol- low the plays in the field so that he can anticipate what is coming, and when the occasion arises, signal his pitcher for a waste ball. If the catcher is watching the field and sees that a runner is about to steal, or a hit and run play has been called, he flashes the signal for a waste ball. The result, if the catcher is man of good judgment and brair is a man thrown out on bases. — MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 10.—Th second annual frack meet of southern conference will be held t afternoon.
