And through the season they have hit in | timely manner. Their plan seems to eonsist of geiting a few runs, then letting their pitchers take care of the gemainder of the game. Schalk probably will send his young mound ace, Thomas, against the Na- tionals tomorrow afterncon. Hollis Thurston, who came to the Nationals from the Chicago club in a trade last ‘Winter, already has been_slated for the local hurling job. If Thomas pitches it will be his second time to oppose Thurston this year. In Chi- cago last month this pair met in the series opener and Thomas emerged from the conflict a 4-to-3 victor. The Nationals were beaten off early yesterday by the Tribe. Walter John- #on, making his third start of the year, seemingly - had nothing. with which to baffie the Indians. They let his curve ball go by and socked his fast one, thereby earning the five runs they got off him in his five frames of toil. Al Crowder, who succeeded Wal- ter, would have fared better had his support be staunch. Bob Burke hurled against the Tribe in the ninth. | But as it turned out only airtight hurling would have given the Na- tionals a chance for victory, as ‘they mace but five hits off George Uhle, never disturbing him to any serious axtent ufter the opening inning. Tribe Wins at Start. Johnson was bumped for two tallies at the outset. Jamieson hit the first pitch of the game for a triple, then roosted at third while two Indians were retired. After that, Burns drew a pass and tallied with Jamie when Joe Sewell doubled to right. In_their half the Nationals bunched Rice's single, Harris sacrifice and Goslin's double for a run. Thereafter the Indians piled up a lot of unnecessary markers, for the Nationals were virtually helpless against Uhle. The visitors swelled their count in the fourth when they reached Johnson for a triple, two sin- gles and a sacrifice. Walter also hit a batter. All of this was good for three runs. They got an Crowder in the seventh. gled and moved to second as Fonseca grounded out.

A record for the season was estab- | hed by the Nationals yesterday, but | t one to rave about. By making five misplays, they staged their poor- | est fielding performance of the year. The total of misplays beat by one the on May 8 when Bucky Harris' club was licked by the Browns. But two of the errors really aided in the run-making, however, and both were made behind Al Crowder's pitching. One of these misplays, though, did not help the Tribe nearly as much as the hurler’s lack of atten- tion to his business after the error. When George Uhle grounded to Joe | Judge in the eighth inning, ' Crowder was none too fast in going over to first to cover. Judge, after waiting, had to hurry his throw. It was poor, and the ball rebounded off Crowder's leg. As Al actually did have his foot against the bag at the time and the ball got to the base ahead of the run- ner, technically the error was Judge's. But Crowder never bothered about retrieving the ball, leaving that detail to Judge. Joe did all he could, but his heave to Tate was too late to snare Homer Summa, going home from sec- ond on the play. Dick Snelling, Dayton University product, reported to ‘the Nationals before yesterday’s game. Although an all-around diamond performer, Snelling is primarily a pitcher and showed his wares to Manager Harris and Coach Onslow in a lengthy workout. Both were impressed by the righ-hander’s natural pitching, ability, but declared he needs much more polish before he can be rated a big leaguer. An unusual double-play was made by the National§ in the fourth inning | yesterday, but it did not keep a run | from the Tribe. With Summa at third, Uhls at first and one out, Jamieson sent a long fly to center. Summa clung to the far corner, but Uhle ran almost to second base with the loft. Speaker went back for a good catch and immediately threw toward the plate. Summa got home as Tate went into the diamond for the short throw, but Benny relayed the ball to Judge to double Uhle off first by yards. Rice led the Nationals’ weak attack, getting two of the five hits made off Uhle. Sam beat out a bounder to Buy a New STUDEBAKER From JOSEPH C. ALIGOOD At the new display room 1636 Conn.

TUNNEY-SHARKEY GO DECLARED IN MAKING By the Associatéd Press. EW YORK, June 10.—Tex Rickard will announce next Monday a Gene Tunney-Jack Sharkey match for the world heavyweight championship, the New York World says. Sharkey, it is understood, has agveed to pledge his services to Rickard for the year 1928 if he wins the title, This' was interpreted to mean that Jack Dempsey would not attempt his come- back appearance this year, if at all. Rickard’s decision to match Sharkey against the champion awaits the chal- lenger's signature to an “exclusive services” contract, says the World. D. C. BIKEMAN IS 17TH.

PITTSBURGH, June 10.—Cy Young, famous old pitcher, who in 22 years’ service in the major leagues pitched 873 games, winning 508 of them, thiiks his record never will be sur- passed. “I don't say that because I want to brag,” Young said at his farm at Peoli, Ohio, “but present conditions make it impossible for a pitcher to win 80 many games. It was nothing for me to pitch in 50 complete games a year. “We didn't have 10-man pitching staffs when I was an active pitcher. In my early 4 ys in Cleveland we used to carry three. If one pitcher was knocked out he wasn’t taken out to save him from punishment, but to save him for the next day. We didn't think it unusual to win 30 games a year. I went over 35 victories five times, and if I -~on Jnly 20 games it wag an off season.” Young left base ball in 1911. POLO TOURNEY START TO BE MADE MONDAY Because of the ceremonies, in honor of Col.
