L . SPORTS. FOOLISH TO CONTEMPLATE, Goose Unlikely to Be Considered for Any Kind of a Deal—Rajah Denies He Has Been Offered Position as Manager of St. Louis Browns. ¥ BY JOHN B. KELLER. —“One of the sil That’s what Manager Stan Harris had to say of a rumored deal that would send Roger Peckinpaugh, Goose Goslin and Joe Judge from his club to the Browns in exchange for George LAND, August 7. e ball. Sisler before next season starts. “Why, such a deal would be foolish even to contemplate,” Harris added. “In the first place, there is no certainty that S Furthermore, he has not been playing the game this season may be attributed to managerial worries or it next Winter. that he had formerly. That may be attributed to other “But the fact remai Years by a long way. uses. And it cert have the value of the players mentioned in the rumor.” Harris was at a loss to know where the rumor originated. He had heard nothing of such proposed trade while in St. Louis, though that town ‘while the Nationals were there was a hotbed of base ball politics. And Peckinpaugh, who it Is said, will pilot the Browns next , still stoutly denies that any one in authority has offered him the job. Trade Seems Unreasonable. Trading Peck, Judge and Goslin for Sisler would seem unreasonable. Peck, of course, pro een his last service as a regular with the Ni s, but if he leaves them next it will be unconditionally—he an and can go his own out of the majors—or deal apt to be more T 1 the one said to be in the making with St. Louis. A trade involving Peck and some minor players for Sisler probably would be considered by the National ownership. Or a trade of Judge for Sisler. But as long as Goslin takes his game as seriously as he has since he was restored to good standing after his recent suspension, there seems lit- tle chance that he would be a part of any trade. And that means a trade for Sisler or any one else. It is questionable whether Sisler would prove specially valuable to the Nationals. Often a change of scenery works wonders with a big league bail player and with the Nationals or any il other club than the Bowns, George | I * might be much beter next season than he has this. But when that change of scenery also involves loss of salary as well as authority there is a great chance it might not work 80 well. ‘There is no doubt that the Nation- al ownership would do all it could do within reason to help Peck get a managerial berth in the majors. He has served Washington faithfully, and President Griffith always is willing to help those players who have helped him. If a deal mutually advanta- geous could be arranged with St. Louis, Griffith certainly would not stand in Peck's way. Peck Has Qualifications, . Peck probably has all the qualities necessary to the making of a capable manager. He has wealth of experi- ence and seems a natural leader. The Rajah is’a clever strategist, too. Manager Harris believes that Peck would make a most acceptable pilot, and the veterans of the Nationals share Bucky’s opinion. But if Peck goes to St. Louls, he will not do so until the present cam- paign is ended. Sisler's managerial contract carries through this year, and with the Browns having no chance to_get anywhere in the 1926 race, Phil Ball, who owns the Browns, cannot be expected to make any rapid fire change. s S ) FIGHTS LAST NIGHT.

With two gone, Peck and Goslin singled, then Moon made his long drive that was officially recorded as a triple. In the second session the Tygers went the Nationals one better and it was Moon Harris who helped them to get ahead. One was out when O’Rouke and Tavener hit one-basers. Woodall's ipfield eraser advanced them a notch and O'Rourke scored as Wells was thrown out.

Then Ruether issued a couple of passes to fill the sacks, but Goslin, after a short run, speared Gehringer's liner.

Stewart rifled a single to center to send both clubmates home.{ Stuffy swiped second and tallied when Rice hit a one-baser to right.

O'Rourke sacrificed and Tavener singled Gher- inger across. Griffs Take Lead in Sixth. Four hits abetted by two poor chucks by Tygers netted the Nationals four runs and a lead in the sixth. Ruel singled and took third when Mor- rell hit for a base. Wells picked up Stewart’s sacrificial bunt and threw past Neun, Ruel scoring. Rice also bunted and when O'Rourke heaved the sphere to the stand Morrell and Stew- ape counted, deadlocking the game, while Rice reached third. Cobb yanked Wells and sent Hol- loway to the hill.

Outstanding ‘in this closing battle of the serfes were the efforts of Babe Ruth of New York and George Burns of Cleveland, hitters of different types, to make gains in the departments of play at which they exgel. Ruth drove out his thirty-fiftth hbme run of the year, while Burns added three doubles to his list, his total now standing at 5 ‘Washington and Detroit recorded 13 hits each but the Natlonals were more effective and they won, 12 to 8. Philadelphia, with excellent pitch- ing from Lefty Grove, who permitted the St. Louis Browns only five hits, won by 6 to 3. Jim Poole inserted a home run. Boston outslugged the Chicago White Sox, but lost out, 7 to 4, with Connally of Chicago keeping the bingles fairly well distributed. Eddie Collins led his team’s offensive with a triple and two singles. Pittsburgh gained a full game in the National League race by turning | back Boston, 5 to 4, while Cincinnati again tumbled before the Giants, 6 to 3. The Pittsburgh victory was costly in that the great young shortstop, Glen Wright, suffered an injured right leg while sliding into second base on his double in the seventh. Wright is expected to be out for only a few days, however. Jimmy Ring stopped the Reds after Hugh McQuillan had been knocked out of the box in the opening inning under a barrage that scored three runs. Travis Jackson, recent Glant cripple, alded his club materially with a home run in the fourth that scored two ahead of him. Babe Herman of Brooklyn dupl- cated the Jackson performance in the game at Brooklyn, but the St. Louis Cardinals gave three Dodger pitchers a terrific lacing and St. Louls won, 7 to 8. McWeeny, Eberhardt and Jess Barnes were the victims. only extra inning engagement of the day, the Phillies going down, 2 to 1. Sheriff Blake of the Cubs allowed the enemy three hits in 613 innings, but after that Jones and Milstead refused to grant a safety. FARRELL NOW LEADING IN CANADIAN -TOURNEY MONTREAL, August 7 (P.— Johnny Farrell of Mamaroneck, N.

He was followed by Gene Sarazen, Jamacia, N. Y. with 2 72 and an aggregate of 142, Bracketed in_third place were Leo Diegel, White Plains, N.

HAGERSTOWN, Md., August 7. —State constabulary have been re- quested by the Hagerstown base ball club to be present tomorrow to preserve order when the local team and Frederick will attempt to stage a Blue Ridge League game to test the law against Sabbath contests, State's Attorney Roulette, who is backed by the church folk and other organizations, declared that he will stop the contest and arrest all those involved. However, the Hagerstown mayor has denied Rou- lette the use of the local po- lice and just what steps the State’s attorney will take to carry out his plans have not been made clear. The Hagerstown base ball club met last night and refused to agree to cancel the game. J. Vin- cent Jamison, president of the Blue Ridge League, was present and de- clared that ' Sunday games were staged in other parts of the State and that he saw no reason, under those * circumstances, why they should not be played here. HUDKINS-LOAYZA GO IS DECLARED A DRAW NEW YORK, August 7 (#).—Ace Hudkins of Nebraska and Stanislaus Loayza of Chile are deadlocked in their efforts to gain honors in the lightweight division. Their 12-round contest at the Coney Island stadium here last night was de- clared a draw after a toe-to-toe combat Chicago and Philadelphia had the [that saw the Chilean lead through the first half of the contest only to have Hudkins finish furiously. Many of the experts conceded the Westerner seven of the rounds. Hudkins’ final drive was effective and several times he had the South American in trouble, but Loayza, the ‘“jaguar,” fought bitterly to the end. The decision was booed by a large crowd. 4 WOMEN SWIMMERS FINISH MEET TODAY PHILADELPHIA, August 7 (). —Competition in the Women's Na- tlonal A. A. U., swimming champion- ships comes to a close today with the 220-yard breast stroke, the 830-yard swim and the plain and fancy high diving events on the program. With most of the national titles tucked away in its bag, the Women's Swimming Association of New York hoped to make a clean sweep today. Agnes Geraghty, national 220-yard breast stroke champion, was favored to repeat her 1925 triumph in her specialty, while Martha Norleius was the cholce of the experts to win the half mile. The world’s 300-meter medley and the half-mile relay records were smashed in yesterday’'s competition, Martha Norelius clipping 3 3-5 sec- onds_from the former record while the Women's Swimming Assoclation the theory that kept him out of the game when right-handers|team of New York chopped 81 2-5 were pitching. in a more effective way than any other base ball |seconds off the mark in the relay theory was “busted.” Not so long ago Fothergill and Red Wingo, or. Fothergill and Heinie Manush were worked alternatély by the Tygers against left and right hand pitching oni the theory that Wingo and Manush could not hit southpaws and that the right-hand-swinging Fothergill was a dub against flingers of orthodox persuasion. But since Fothergill has been play- ing regularly for the Cobbmen, right- handers of the caliber of Johnson, Uhle, XKarr, Vangilder, Jones and others have been the mediums through which he has compiled his fat batting mark. Nor has the portside-pounding Manush been a soft snap for the southpaw slabmen. He has profited plenty at the expense of Grove, Smith, Zachary, Ruether and some more. Al Crowder was to pitch one of the games of today’s double-header with the*Indians. Manager Harris did not know this morning who would be started in the other contest. There was a chance that he would call Fred Marberry, although Fred certainly has done more than his share of pitching during this Western tour. With so many games crowded into the next few days, Manager Harris deemed it wise to give Earl McNeely and Buddy Myer a rest yesterday, as well as take one himself. All three of these athletes were to be, back for today’s dual sketch, however, and the batting order that had been used dur- ing the Western tour was to be re- sumed. Bill Morrell has a sore left hand, the result of a finger joint dislocation sustained during a batting drill in De- troit. With the digit well taped, how- ever, Bill will be available for duty in the series here. Gehringer, who was a thorn in the side of the Nationals throughout the series in Tygerland, was the main fac- tor in a neat double play in the first inning yesterday. He grabbed Rice's hot ‘grounder, tagged out Stewart on the line and, from an awkward posi- tion, threw out the batter. Ruel all but knocked O’Rourke oft his feet with a’ liner in the second. Blackie just had time to throw his hands in front of his face befgre the ball Ruether seemed to pay no attention to O'Rourke when the latter was on second with one out in the third frame, and Blackle set sail for the far corner. He was well past Peck before Ruether even started to pitch, and Ruel made no effort to get the Tyger going into third. Steward showed plenty of speed when he swiped second in the fourth round. He was off with Wells’ pitch- ing motion and went into the middie sack standing up at about the same time Woodall heaved to that station. Neun, Manush, Fothergill and Heil- mann, at the top of the Tyger batting order went up to the plate in each of the first three frames. In these trips, Manush and Fothergill each got two hits, while once Manush was hit by a pitched- ball and once Fothergill walked. Goslin made a running catch of Wells' hoist to left center in the fifth. The Goose had to go far to his right and well back to get the sphere. Bill Morrell is a turn-around hitter. He batted right-handed against Wells in the sixth and singled. In the sev- enth he batted left-handed against Holloway and made Fothergill run hard to drag down a liner, After the Nationals went to the front in the sixth, Manager Harris withdrew Moon Harris from left field and sent McNeely to that garden to strengthen the defense.

GAME BEGUN APRIL 29 TO BE FINISHED TODAY By the Associated Press. G COLUMBIA, S. C., August 7.— A base ball game begun April 29 will be finished here today in the reatest bargat offering Columbia fnns perhaps have ever seen. On that Spring day, Greenville and Columbia teams, of the South Atlantic Association, struggled through a long, tedious contest. When the eighth inning at length was ended with Greenville leading 7 to 5, umpires, players and populace spontaneously called it a day. Be- fore the scorekeeper could warn of the error, the arbiters had escaped through the gates and the crowd was likewise homeward bound. The league’s executive, when he learned the facts, decided that the final inning be played. Burning of the local grandstand in early Sum- mer kept the Columbia club on the road and Greenville did not return until the present series. Some tactical genius today must guide arrangement of the playing and batting orders of the two teams #5 many of the actors in the A;;rll scene are now in other cir- cuits.
