BY JOHN B. KELLER. [ROIT, June 5.—Slamming three of Ty Cobb's pitchers while Stan Coveleskie held the enemy in the check fairly well, the Nationals today opened their initial Western invasion of the season with an 8-to-4 victory over the Tygers. The champions swung their bats more freely than in an of the recent engagements in the East. They combed the trio of Tyger hurlers for 15 hits, ranging in length from single to home run. Muddy Ruel poled a four baser, a_tremendous drive to extreme center field, and back of this swat_were triple and a brace of double among the extra-base clouts. Bucky Harris and company started amassing a healthy run total early in the proceedings and only once was their lead threatened. But after the Tygers crawled to within a tally of the Nationals, old Covey put on the brakes while his mates went on to a decisive triumph. A e m safeties and one pass and was scored aminst in two of the three frames in which the enemy was able to cluster blows.

At present the Nationals are seven inficlders and six outfielders, Harris declared today that if any new material was to come to his club before pruning time arrives he had no knowledge of it.

The big fellow went | through a long workout before to- | day’s game and his arm appeared to be strong and loose. Ty Cobb has | had to juggle his hurlers so much recently that his next game choices | are problematical. However, as near as could be reckoned by the Detroit scribes the Sunday turn would go to Southpaw Ed Well: Johnny Tobin, who took advantage of the gap between the club's de- parture from New York and the start of the series here to visit his home in St. Louis, and Roger Peckinpaugh, who spent the brief vacation with his family in Cleveland, rejoined the Na- tionals today. Tobin announced that his garage business In the Mound City, that he had not been in inti- mate touch with since February, was in a flourishing condition. | Earl McNeely is suffering from a sore foot, the result of stumbling in a_depression in the Toronto outfleld Thursday. While the hoof pains Earl considerably at present, he probably will be ready for regular service Within a day or two. Among the visitors to the Nationals' dressing room. before today's game was Ed Lynch, ‘former athletic star at Catholic University and prominent in_professional foot ball and basket ball ranks last Fall and Winter. 1d, a prosperous real estate operator here now, has picked up a deal of weight since the basket ball season. He tips the scales at 205. Goslin came through with a pair of remarkable catches in the second inning to take hits from Heilmann and Warner. Both times the Goose went far to left to drag down liners close to the chalk line. Tobin broke into the game in fine style when a right-hand pitcher started for the Tygers in the sixth. Replac- ing Jeanes at bat, Johnny dragged a neat bunt past Dauss for a single and scored ahead of Ruel, who wal- loped a homer. In the last half of the round, Tobin ran dozens of yards to get under Heilmann's powerful drive that appeared sure to be an extra-base hit when it left the bat. Covey will get his bingle every now and then. He got one today in the cighth when his looper to short left just eluded Tavener's hand. the Nationals to register the only | double play of the day. Running off seond, he practically forced Johns to. quit third base in the third round, after Harris had thrown out Gel ringer, and the pitcher became an! easy out at the plate. Only 50 per cent of Cobb's pinch- Mt(l’ng forco. that has been doing such fine work, functioned today. In the fifth, Blue batted for Johns and tripled two . runs across.

NEW YORK, June 5.~Dave Shade of California, outweighed by nine pounds, tonight received a setback at the hands of Maxie Rosenbloom, losing a judges' decision to the New York middleweight in a 10-round fight at the Queensboro Stadium. The men fought at a furious pace, although at no stage was either in danger of a knockout. The margin of Rosenbloom’s victory was con- sidered exceptionally close, and the verdict of the judges was unfavorably received by many of the spectators. Shade welghed 155; Rosenbloom 164.

That Helen is a great favorite in France may be gauged by the fact that when the news announcing her satisfactory progress was thrown on the screen in the various picture houses it was greeted with shouts of “Bravo,” “Bravo,” and when her pic- ture appeared it was the signal fl)r vast applause. long flowers of all d!scrh’l- tions poured into the hospital, and, as the superintendent remarked, it was not necessary to ask who they were for.

JAVELIN HOPE By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 5—In the right arm of Douglas Graydon, Little R Ark., high school boy, there is bad news for Finland. The boy from the Ozarks threw a javelin 199 feet 6 inches at the na- tional high school track mecet yester- day, and his feat impressed him upon coaches who watched his performance ‘as the likeliest challenger the United States ever has produced for the jave- lin honors which Finland has held without a break ever since the're- vival of the modern Olympic games. Still in his teens and in high school competition, Graydon nosed the shaft into the sod only 16 feet short of the world mark of 215 feet 7% inches, held by F. Myra of Finland. Graydon's throw surpassed American interscholastic record more than a dozen feet. The present American record is held by John Kuck of the Kansas State Teachers’ College of Emporia, who threw the spear 214 feet 2% inches this year. Under collegiate _coaching, those who watched him yesterday believe, Graydon will have ‘little difficulty in the by - | bettering the American mark, and in carrying across the Atlantic Amer- ica's first serious challenge, in the javelin thro NOTRE DAME WINS MEET.

Hagen Lacks Fight. _Duncan was just as superior to | Hagen. and £o it was all down the line until late in the evening, when Mehl- horn and French brought their op- ponents to the last green and, saved America from being completely goose- egged. Hagen played poor golf against Duncan. After being 4 down at the end of the first round, he picked up his ball at the thirteenth hole in the afternoon as a token of surrender. “There is no fun plaving with Wal- ter when he can't sink his putts,” sali Duncan after winning. Mehihorn exhibited something of the fighting spirit which Hagen and it carried the former Chi- 0" through to victory. Comp- ston finished the first round 1 up, but Mehlhorn squared the match on the second hole in the afternoon after ne. sotiating a difficult stymje. The American was 4 under 4s for the first 15 holes in the afternoon and was 2 up. The paic went to the home hole with Mehlhorn leading, and here he took 4 4, while Compston was 4 feet away for & half. which Mehlhorn conceded, winning by one hole. French played fine golf. coming home in 35 in the afternoon to draw with Whitcombe. He had a chance to win, but was bunkered at the home hole. Arthur Havers registered the big- gest win of the day, trimming Freddis McLeod of Washington on the twenty- seventh green. et MICHIGAN TO BUILD FOOT BALL STADIUM By the Ascociated Pre ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 5.
