SPORTS. WIN OVER RED SOX GIVES ; BIG HURLER FULL SLATE Has Won Nine in Row Since July 11, to Make Season Record .760—Mogridge Likely to Go on Slab Tomorrow—TFohlites Easy for Bucks. BY JOHN B. KELLER. NOFFICIAL pitching records for some while have made Walter Perry Johuson, dean of moundsmen in the big show, premier pitcher of the American League this season, but not until yesterday was the Kansas marvel able to cstablish his supremacy over all rival clubs of the Xationals. That 12-to-5 triumph over the Red Sox, credited to Johnson after seven innings of toil, was his first of the year.over them. Now his slate shows wins over seven teams of the Johnsonian circuit in 1924. # The win was most opportune, for it put the league-leading Bucks two full games ahead of the Yankees. who are loath to give up their pennant- finning habits. While Stanley Harris and his outfit were taking the meas- ure of the fierv-hosed bunch of Boston, Connie Mack's Athletics arose in their wrath and registered one of their rare victories over the Yanks. All such help is warmly welcomed by the Nationals these days.

Since then he ha nine games. alter has been in 31 games this season, starting all of them, as Man- ger Harris has not deemed it wise to use the veteran as a relief hurler. The great Kansan has enough to do on the hill without being subjected to frequent warm-ups on the side line when mates falter. Walter has hurled sixteen complete games. Johnsoh was somewhat spotty in Ris pitching when he broke the spell the Red Sox had held over him since the start of the season, but he did not meed to be at his best, for the Bucks were in a savage hitting mood and punished three of the visiting hurlers. Walter was touched for nine hits in seven innings, but man- aged to do some really fine hurling on two occasions when the Red Sox filled the sacks. His best inning was the sixth, in which the first two batters to face him singled. But the next fouled out and Fred Ezzell fanned. Val Picinich, Walter's former battery mate, drew & pass. to jam all the stations. Here Lee Fohl sent the venerable Shano Collins to the plate to bat for Cur- tis Fullerton, Red Sox starting hurler, and Shano ingloriously whiffed. Johnson took seven Red Sox over the strikeout route during his term, twice fanning Bill Wambsganss and Eazell. He also granted three bases on balls and uncorked a wild pitch. The scven whiffs raised to 3,203 his strikeout record for his big league gareer. With the game well in hand. Harris replaced Johnson with Allen Russell after the seventh session. nd the Red Sox did not bother the Bpitballer greatly. Bucks Siam Ball. . The Bucks hammered three piten- ers soundly.

Singles by Johnson and MeNeely, Harri¥ out and Rice's infield one- baser accounted for two markers in the fourth.

Boone's walk and Veach's triple were good for a run off Johnson in the fourth. In the fifth, singles by Picinich and Fuller- ton, a vwi'd pitch and a fielder's choice made a tally. Flagstead's single, a hit batter, flelder's choice und Joe Harris' rap manufactured the third marker gleaned off Walter. Russell was reached for a pair of runs in the ninth. With Boone out of the way, Joe Harris strolled. . Taylor made a two-base wild toss after flelding Veach's grounder neatly, and Clarke singled Joe Harris home and Veach to third.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY That Washington fans are with the Nationals heart and soul in the club's great fight to bring here the National Capital's first pennant is manifested in the many letters of encouragement and congratulation received daily by Stanley Harris, the team manager. One of the latest notes is printed be- low: 5 Dear Mr. Harris: The Washing- ton Monarch Club has instructed me to send you a letter congratu- lating you as manager, and your teammates individually, for the wonderful success thus far at- tained in the pennant chase. Keep up the good work! The Washington Monarch Club is unanimous in wishing you con- tinued success upon your invasion of the West. Bring home the bacon! THE MONARCH CLUB (Gaston Stickeler). In_addition te breaking the spell the Red Sox had held over him, John- son vesterday got in & few good licks at bat. He got a double and two singles in four times at bat, and tallied three times. mpires— Time of Peck, Tate, Shirley and Russell were the anly Bucks in the line-up who failed to get a hit. Russell had no chance, as he never went to bat. After the sixth inning Harris with- drew Judge and ‘Bluege and took Ruel out after the seventh. Shirley re- placed Joe at first basc and Taylor went to third. Tate was used behind the bat in the last two frames. In making the changes Harris assfgned Tate to the pitcher's accustomed bat- ting position, so Russell, second hurl- er in the fray, was placed in Ruel's niche in the hitting order. Veach never made a step toward McNeely's high fly in the sixth. It appeared that Bobby never got his eve on the ball in the sun. Flag- stead, after waiting for Veach to start, made a long run for the fly, but was much too late. Fans watched with interest’ the score of the Yankee-Mack tilt on the big board in center field. When the final figures showing a Yankee de- feat were hung up there was noise a-plenty from the stands. Those two bunts in the seventh in- ning were neat ones. McNeely laid down one toward third base and got to first well ahead of Clarke's throw. Then Bucky Harris dragged one be- tween Winters and Joe Harris and, as Wamby had gone over toward first to cover, there was no one to take the ball.

DENCIO OUTPOINTS ORIOLE FLYWEIGHT Young Dencio, Filipino flash, has nothing more to beat in Baltimore if Little Jeff, Southern flyweizht cham- pion, is the best that city can pro- duce. The Filipinp clearly demon- srated his superiority over Little Jeff last night in 10 furious rounds in the feature attraction at the Washing- | ton Barracks. Dencio’s speed, his canny infighting and the amazing knack he displayed in keeping clear of Jeff's cious swings accounted for the Southern flyweight's downfall, Jeft was slow and failed to land any really telling blows. Dencio's wal- lops,” though, lacked the neccssary | steam to stop Jeff altogether. But Dencio danced about, beat his op- ponent to the punch, and, above all, displayed enough speed to make Jeff miss a dozen times. | Jimmy Gardner of Washington un- leashed two punches in the first round to knock out Kid Wagner of Baltimore in the four-round opener. Midget Carbon showed considerable improvement when he trounced Frank Neill of Baltimore in six slashing rounds. Eddic Leonard of Baltimore shaded Kid Cafoni of Walter Reed in another six-rounder.

TRADITIONS ARE IGNORED BY FAST-FLYING ROBINS Other Pennant Possibilities in Both League Also Fol- low Policy of Last-Ditch Shifts Thought Poor- est of Strategy Few Years Ago. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, September 5.—Brooklyn is in second place and the Gov- ernment at Washington still lives, while Dazzy Vance, Brooklyn's star pitcher, is broadcasting victories far and wide. He has won his twelfth game in succession and his twenty-fourth for the scason. If he never flings another base ball this season he has carned his 1924 pay. ) There may be a pitcher who will beat him in percentage, but the big leagues will be hard put to it to find one who will beat him in laboring for the cause and one who has as much ambition as Dazzy. This base ball artist is bent on having Brooklyn the pennant if he has to win it alone and unaided. One evening last June when Charley Ebbets was being kidded becau his club could not win and the Giants did, he finally announced that “We get that (Giant) crowd and beat ‘em yet before the season is over.” Th caused much merriment in Manhattan at the time, but it is not causing much no HOW GRIFFS ARE HITTING That Brooklyn team once so lowly that Gowanus almost deserted it, is up there now just three points behind the nts and is making more noic« than a brass band a carnival.
