July 13.—Jez Zachary and Dave Danforth probably will be mound opponents today. Zach has pitched against the Browns to an even break so far this season. He lost to them here in May, but beat them in Washington last month. - Danforth has not started against the Nationals this year, although he has worked Covey got away to a splendid start | yesterday and was given a great lead | to work under by his teammates, who | got to their archenemy, Dixie Davis, for a trio of runs in the second in ning. But, after setting down the | Browns in order in the first two frames, the spitballer began to weary | in the third, and in the fourth was the victim of a savage attack. He managed to get ¢hrough the fifth in-{ ning fairly well, but after putting enough runners on the paths in the sixth to get the Browns in front should the potential tallies be realized, Fred was immediately nicked for a hit that deadlocked the fray, but was able to stagger through the remainder of the | game without suffering more serious | damage. Following the fatal early frame Bixie Davis was a tough proposition until the eighth, although he was hit safely in all but two of the eight in- nings he hurled. Dixie wa aced | by a pinich hitter in the e the Browns had ideas of c; champions, so the elongated Vangilder finished the game. Scott’'s Bat Wins It. Everett Scott, subbing for the in- jured Roger Peckinpaugh at short, provided the punch that won for the | Nationals.

PIRATES STILL AHEAD, By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 13.—The Pirates were still leading the National League this morning, notwithstanding a Sab- bath defeat by Brooklyn. Zack Tayior of Brooklyn did his best for his neighbors by lashing out a home run in the ninth to make the score 4 to 3, but meantime Chicago up- set the Giants in a 16-inning joust at the Polo Grounds, and the Corsairs are still a few points higher up the ladder, than New York. With Chicago one run ahead of the Glants, and the bases loaded, Gabby Hartnett's disgust over rulings of the umpire took form in a wild heave. Young promptly raced home with the tying run, forcing the game into extra innings. In the eleventh, twelfth and thir- teenth, the Cubs threatened, but the deciding run did not come untl Grimm doubled in the sixteenth. The final score was 9 to 8. e Eddie Rommel gave the Tygers but a single run as he scattered eight hits to vank the Athletics out of their ump, 8 to 1. Twenty-one hits were made by Philadelphia. Teddy Lyons of the White Sox blanked the Yankees with five hits to win at 3 to 0, and Cleveland smother- ed the Red Sox under 18 hits to breeze home 13 to g LEADERS HOLD OWN IN MINOR LEAGUES The feature of the past week in the minor leagues was the winning of six straight victories by New Orleans in the Southern Association, which now bids fair to stand its challengers off during the remainder of July. Mem- phis made a jump from fifth place to third, and Atlanta knocked Nashville out of second place. The Louisville club in the American Association has not yet taken its cir- cuit by the throat, although it will take much beating to put Louisville out of the pennant lead. The Kansas City team is a possibility in this race. Denver appears to have dug Its toes in and taken a spurt for the pennant that was expected in the Western League. If it continues as at present, it should win out easily. Albany holds its own in the Eastern are well bunched After his flurries of anxiety, Dunn of Baltimore is back in tha lead in the International with a comfortable mar- in. 3 The Texas League plaved its annual joke on base ball in general by split- ung the season when Fort Worth got too far ahead. Deliberately splitting seasons after the schedule is well un- der way is mighty close to hippodrom- ing. HOME-RUN CLOUTERS SPEND A QUIET WEEK By the Associated Press CHICAGO, July 13.—A lull in home- run hitting in the major leagues fea- | the two New | York teams and the St. Louis Browns being the only clubs to display any real activity. The Yankees smashed out six four- baggers during the week, Bob Meusel running his total to 21, while the Browns also smashed out half a dozen four-ply blows. The "Glants’ sluggers bagged five circuit blows. Gabby Hartnett, pep- pery catcher of the Chicago Cubs, who, at the start of the season was running away from the fleld, swung back into action and registered his twenty-first homer, going into a tie with Bob Meusel of the Yankees for the runner-up honors. Rogers Hornsby, the St. Louis Car- dinals’ star, is leading the fleld with 22 circuit blows. He has not been taking an active part lately because of an injury. Leading circuit clouters follow: American—Bob Meusel, New York, 21; Williams, St. Louls, 20; Simmons, Philadelphia, 12; Cobb, Detroit, 11; Goslin, Washington, 10; E. Robertson, St. Louls, 10.

BERLIN SCHOOLS ADOPT COURSES IN ATHLETICS By the Associated Press. The schools of Berlin are becoming increasingly interested in athletic and calisthentics.

DILG, President, Izaak Walton League of America. as it is of skill. o relative elevations of bow and stern. Acting upon the weather vane prin- ciple, a lowered bow will naturally head straight into the wind. And the wind, acting equally upon both sides of the stern, will hold it in this posi- tlon. The secret of maintaining a canoe upon its course lies, therefore, in finding the proper bow elevation for a given wind. Tn order to do this the stern paddler must have room to move fore and aft. A space’ of about 2 feet should be enough if the canoe is normally loaded. In most cases the mere chang- ing from a sitting to a kneeling posi- tion, and vice versa, is sufficient to accomplish the desired result. Running broadside to the wind Is comparatively easy. When bow and stern catch equal amounts of wind there will be but slight deviation from, the course. Balancing is apt to be a little difficult should the bow man sit upright upon the usual canoe seat or should the load be topheavy. But with these matters corrected, steering is simply a question of paddling hard enough to avoid too much drift. If the bow tends to swing up wind, the steen man merely shifts his weight baekward; if down wind, he moves for- ward until the canoe, holds its course without much help ffom the paddles. Tooking down wind a lake's surface always appears smooth. * Even white- caps don't show from behind. This is a frequent cause of exciting experi- ences, as canoeists are likely to mis- judge the force of an offshore wind, not realizing until return is_impos- sible that their craft is loaded too heavily for comfort in the increasingly high swells. However, they usually reach shore safely and thereafter take keen delight in describing every de- tail of the vovage, especially “how scared the other fellow was.” NORWAY ENTERS CLAIM AS WINTER PLAYGROUND By the Aswociated Press. Norway is making an effort to get the Winter sports of the 1928 Olymplc games.

By attracting international gatherings to Oalo the Norwegian government hopes to bring the new name before the world. —_—s TEERING a canoe in a heavy wind is not so much a matter of muscie Provided that the canoeist can keep a straight course in calm water, he should easily do it in a storm. tion in which a canoe has a tendency to point depends chiefly upon the "| and one-fifth of a second behind the SPORTS. 19 Return of Johnson Heartens Nationals : Potomacs to Row in Southern Regatta ANNUAL AFFAIR CARDED FOR RICHMOND JULY 25 Old Dominions of Alexandria, Arundels of Balti- more and Virginia Boat Club of Host City Also Will Have Representation.
