SPORTS. Western Trip for 17 Games Offers Griffmen Little Chance to Gain Much Ground BY RIPLEY \ROYALTY T0 ATTEND | KNICKS AND ST. JOSEPH’S TOUR TO SERVE AS TEST “ FOR NATS’ NEW SLABMEN Murray and Crowder Like];o_(%et Plenty of Work Within Next Two Weeks—~Champs Well Beaten by Tygers in Free-Hitting Tilt. BY JOHN B. KELLER. of the year, and what they do mean much in the contest for TOMORRO\\' the Nationals will start their second Western invasion in the 17 games to be played will not the American League pennant. The Yankees are so well entrenched in first place at present that the achievements of their rivals will not worry them particularly during the aext two wecks. The Nationa!s,}?-ck in sixth place and just a game above the .500 mark at the outset of break into the first division duri Western jaunt, have only a chance to the tour, and to do that they'll have to lay much better base ball than they did yesterday while taking a 14-104“ icking from the Tygers. In their stand here against the West the Nationals won but 8 of 17 engagements. That’s not a record calculated to arouse any optimism with respect to the impending tour. Right off the reel on this trip the Nationals will stack up against a club that has been particularly trouble- some to them so far this season. To- morrow the White Sox will be en- countered In Chi- cago in the first game of a series of four and Eddie Colling’ crew, de- pite the bunch of defeats it suffered . during its Eastern round, ought to be ready to make. matters more than interesting for Bucky Harris and his_cohorts. From Chicago, the Nationals will gum;: to gt. Louis 'or four tilts with Y the Browns. These AR Browns have been fairly easy pick- ings for the Nationals here, but in St. Louis last month they took three of the four scraps staged with Harris nd Company. Four games in three days are to be played with the Tygers in Detroit, the double-header being necessary because of a rained-out game in'June. Five games in four days are to be staged with the Indians in Cleveland. This rather heavy schedule for slightly more than two weeks is likely to tax the National pitching staff severely. None too formidable numerically, the mound corps of the locals has had plenty to do so far this month and has done its work rather well, even though not so much in the way of winning has been ac- complished. The impending trip ought to reveal just how worth while is ‘Washington's collection of pitchers. Real Test for Murray. ‘The round of the West will serve as a real test for two of the recent ad- ditions to the slabbing staff. Al Crowder, who appeared to advantage in his debut as a National last Sat- urday, and George Murray, just pur- chased from Mobile, are to see a deal of action within the next couple of weeks, according to Manager Harris. Murray especially will come in for a thorough looking over by the pilot. Bucky already knows much' of this pitcher, who was in the league a couple of seasons, but wants to make certain without any loss of time whether he is so much better -than during his former major term, as has been reported. Murray is a husky athlete. He is 8 feet 11 inches tall and weighs in the neighborhood of 190 pounds. He is no youngster, though, as age is rated in base ball. He was born in Charlotte, N. C., September 23, 1898, The right-hand is a product of the University of North Carolina, ‘where he was a star in foot ball and base ball and captained the nine in 1921. He signed with the Yankees upon graduation and was farmed to the Rochester Internationals in June, 1921. The Yanks recalled him in the Fall, but in 1923 sent him to the Red Sox in a trade. The Fohimen re- leased him to Moblle in February, 1926. Last year in the Southern As- soclation he won 10 games and lost 9, and while with the Gulls this sea- son won 9 games and lost 6. ° Clawed by Tygers. ‘The Natlonals were not so impres- slve vesterday as they wound up their July homs stand. They had no pitching with which to baffle the Tygers and lacked punch in the pinches. Fred Marberty was handed a fine drubbing in ths first two frames, Bill Morrell and Stan Covel- eskie each took a couple rounds of punishment, while Jimmy Uchrinsko in three innings showed that the plate was swinging too much for him. Jimmy gave up five passes, in addition to six safeties. Ed Wells did the ging for the Tygers, and while the left-hander was peppered in & rather lively manner, he held the Nationals at bay when- ever they threatened to become troublesome. 00D FIELD WILL RACE' IN $10,000 OHIO DERBY | m.

Dislikes Pro Coach System. “To my mind,” he says, in speak- ing of athletics in this country, “a great: hindrance to the free play of the innate sportsmanship in the Atherican athlete is to be found in the number of profeSsional coaches which every American university pos- sesses, or, rather, in the autocratic power which such coaches wield. In many cases these men are alumni of | universities to which they are attach- ed and some of them are those true sportsmen whose only ideal is good sportsmanship. “It has been.my good fortume in my American visits to meet that type of man who is guide, philosopher and triend of the athletes over whom he has supervision. But I am given to understand that the slave.driving element does exist among some coaches. The present and future of these men depend upon the .success of the teams they train and they can lay down arbitrary rules of condition- ing—which accounts for the sort of SPORTS.

His_qualities not only as an athlete, but as a man, won him many friends here, and upon subsequent visits to this country he was enter- tained in a manner which gave him the.closest insight into American D. Rudd, who first won fame in this training to which many American teams are subjected. “But there is now a strong feeling in America against the supreme pow- er of the coach and it is being modl- fled to a certain extent. 1 don't know that the Americans would do well in adopting our extreme nonchalance much to say that no foreigner has!any more than we would do well in under- | adopting thelr extreme of efficiency. T. S. Athletics Not Free. “Both are regrettable. But I think our point of view is more consistent with sportsmanship. If government is . instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the, governed to the end that all men be secured the right of life, lib- erty and happiness, I do not think the American athlete can maintain that in this respect the spirit of the Declaration of Independence is kept. The sometimes excessive authority of the coach hardly makes either for the athlete's liberty or happiness. “In themselves the American undergraduate athletes are very defl- nitely good sportsmen, alike in vie- tory and in defeat. “English athletes visiting the United States have found their opponents to Le men after their own hearts and not the out-to-win Philistines that so many Englishmen seem to think they are. “When I first visited the United States as an athlets I was certalnly filled with hearsay prejudices, neariy all of which have now been displaced.
