KELLER, HEN Bob Reeves was made regular shortstop of the | Nationals last Tuesd: Clark Griffith, president of | the club, remarked that he | expected the young Georgia Tech mh~; lete to become one of the sensations | of the game within a year. “For a time, Reeves will have some terrible days, days that may make some won- der how he ever could have been re- | garded as a ball player,” declared the prexy, “but once he gets into the| swing of his job he'll be a_wonder in the fleld and he'll hit, too. Reeves has | everything to make a first-class short- stop.” And Reeves gave a performance yes- terday that indicated Griffith very likely knew what he was talking| about. Working in his fourth game as a regular, all the young fellow did was take care of 10 chances afield, maldng 6 putouts and 6 assists, and smack 3 singles in 6 times at bat. But, best of all, Reeves showed his steadiness in pinches at for two | of his hits virtually won for the Na- tionals their first overtime game of the season. Tt was a gingle by Bob, made after two were out in the sixth inning, that drove across the two runs giving the Nationals an advantage of a single tally over the Indians, and it was an- other single by him, made with one gone in the thirteenth, that scored Earl McNeely with the run bringing a 6-to-5 victory. Two Timely Hits. And there were two strikes against Reeves each time before he made these big hits. When Emil Levsen rushed to the hill in the sixth to stem the rally that had netted three runs off the left-handed Walter Miller, who up to that frame had been most baf- fling to the batters of Boss Bucky bunch, he quickly shot two strikes past Bob. Then with Tris Speaker tearing in from third base and Ossie Bluege dashing from second, Bob, hit- less up to that time, reached out and rifled a single to center. So sharp was the hit that Bluege had no trou- ble following Speaker across the plate. Bob got another single off Levsen in the eleventh inning, but even this sec- ond blow did not cause the Indian hurler to respect the batting ability of the young Georgia Tech product. Aft- er Speaker opened the Nationals thirteenth with a two-bagger and gave way to Pinch-runner Earl McNee] who was moved to third by Joe Judge's sacrifice, Levsen, after a cop- ference with other Indians, intention- ally walked Bluege to first to get a chance at Reeves. And Levsen got two strikes against Bob so quickly that it seemed the pitcher had used good judgment in passing the previous batter. But Emil had not gauged Bob's courage. He at- .tempted to throw another strike by Reeves, and the latter leaned against the ball solidly, driving it to center for a fine safety that let McNeely romp home with the big run. Brilliant Play Afield. All but one of Bobs 10 chances afield came his way in the first six sessions of the fray. He covered a deal of territory, frequently digging smashes WA out of the dirt in deep shortfield and B winging “strikes” to Judge at first. His stop of Joe Sewell's drive back of sec- ond base at the start of the fourth frame was an especially fine bit of work and he followed it with a re- markable retiring throw. For his last flelding play Reeves took a throw from Harris that forced out Joe Sewell in the thirteenth in- |ning, and had his hurried throw to Judge not bounced away from the first sacker he probably would have 'been credited with an assist. The ball apeared to be at the base ahead of - the runner. Bob-may not be ready for a high rating among the big league short- flelders right now, but his work yes- terday indicated that he has every- thing to make a first-class shortstop, as Prexy Griffith declared. After a few more months of experience the Georgia Tech product probably will_not run second to any other man in the position in the American League. Reeves did mot grab all the glory yesterday, however. Irving Hadley, Garland Braxton and Fred Marberry, who did the pitching for the Na- tionals, deserve much credit for their efforts. Even though quickly found him for two runs, Had- ley, who started, did well in the first the Indians| ey Twice With Two Strikes ding Over Big Run of s Smartly Afield In the next five innings Braxton | vielded only three hits and struck out teven batters. Two of the hits, had netted the opposition a tally, however, nd when Lew Fonseca doubled after two Indians were out in the twelfth, Harris deemed it wise to yank the | southpaw and send in the right-hand hurling Marberry against the dan- zerous George Burns. Fred justified | Harris' judgment by whifling George, | and in’ the thirteenth, after Bill | Hodapp had forced out Joe' Sewell, | who had opened the round with a | single, the big Texan fanned Nick | Cullop, erstwhile National, and Luke Sewell. Miller, who started on the slab for had everything in a pitching way for five innings, vielding only three hits ‘and fanning three men in that time. But he was combed for four successive singles before a batter was retired in the fifth, then, after | getting two men out, gave up a double and was replaced by Levsen. The newcomer was reached for i hits during the remainder of the fray, | Reeves getting half the number. | Charley Jamieson doubled to start the contest, and when Hadley shot a wild pitch by Fred Eichrodt, the next batter, the Indians were a run to the good. The ball bounded through an open gate into_the grandstand and a ground rule permitted Jamieson to come home from the middle station. Tribe Boosts Lead. Joe Sewell's double, Hodapp's re- tirement and a single by Luke Sewell after Homer Summa had walked ac- counted for a Tribe tally in the sec- ond. Then scoring ceased until the sixth. In this inning, with Fonseca out of the way, Hadley hit Burns. but George was caught off first an run down. jgadley then hit Joe Sewell and Joe was more fortunate than George, for he raced home when Hodapp socked a two-bagger. Summa knocked a long single to right to get Hodapp to the plate. In_the latter part of this frame the Nationals went on their hitting spree. Hadley and Sam Rice singled. so did Harris, tall¥ing the pitcher. A single by Goslin filled the bases and Rice, crossed as Speaker forced out the Goose. Judge struck out, but Bluege doubled Harris home and Spoke to third. Levson then took the pitching job from Miller and Reeves got in his first deadly work at. bat. The Indians put over the tying tally in the eighth that Burns opened with a single. Joe Sewell's sacri- fice and Hodapp's double got George around the runway. The Tribe had men on the paths in the last three frames, but only two of them got as far as second base. The Nationals made a bid for vic- tory in the twelfth when Marberry, first up, got to the initial sack as his bounder was fumbled by Joe Sewell. Rice sacrificed, bift Fred was flagged at third when Harris grounded to Hodapp. Reeves, though, “put on the works” in the thirteenth.

SPOKE PLAYS TODAY DESPITE LEG INJURY Tris Speaker was to resume his place in center field for the Nationals this afternoon, the injury he suffered in thes thirteenth inning that forced his retirement yesterday not being of a serious nature. Sliding into second to make a double of his drive to right- center, Spoke bruised his left knee severely and gave way to Pinch-runner Earl McNeely, but he was ready to get back to the job today. Garland Braxton tired rapidly after doing five innings of fine relief work in which he registered seven strike- outs, showing distress signals in the twelfth that caused Manager Harris to yank him. Some wiseacres in the stands booed the pilot when he sub- stituted Marberry for the southpaw, but it certainly appeared to be the wise thing to do at that time, Bill Hodapp did a deal of running (fl get under Goose Goslin's foul in the seventh inning. The Tribe third- sacker chased far down the left field line for the catch. Nick Cullop did not look so good at bat. The former National was up three times. Both Braxton and Mar- berry fanned him. Between the strike- outs, Nick got a single from a bunt off Braxton. Goslin, whao stole the only base for the Nationals during the fray, pilfered easily. He had such a lead off first in the fourth inning that he was at the miidle station almost as soon as Miller's pitch reached Juke Sewell and the catcher made no effort to throw. ‘While many of the other Nationals have been faltering afield recently. Bucky Harris has been performing brilliantly around the second sack. He has not made a misplay in the last 16 games and during them accepted 95 chances.

Phillips, the butler boy who rag the quarter mile last year in 48%7-10 seconds, tied his own mark to qualify yesterday. There was a _surprise provided in the trials for this event when Baird of Towa, the conference champion, failed to qualify, finishing eighth in a field of nine in his heat. There was _another upset, too, when George Hester of the Univer- sity of Michigan, one of the coun- 11.—The stout try's fleetest dashers, failed to quallfy in the 100-yard sprint. He was far back of the leaders at the finish. Another record holder who was out to better his mark was Charteris of Washington, whose qualifying time of 1:38 210 in the half mile was only a little slower than his meet record time of 1: Spence, Detroit City College hurdler, who set a record last year in the 220-yard low hurdles, which he topped in 235-10 seconds, qualified, although Curel of Towa had the best time, 235-10 seconds, Michigan State College’s orack team of Alderman and Grimm stepped fast \to qualify in the 100 and 220 vard | dashes. " Alderman and Cockrell of Texas made the best time in the shorter sprint, their 99-10 seconds being one-tenth of a second slower than ¢he record made two years ago by Dehart Hubbard of Michigan. Della Maria of Notwe Dame moved the fastest in the 220-yard qualifications, | doing the distance in 214-10 seconds. Roland Locke of Nebraska set the meet record last year with his 20 9-10.

Merely a matter of changing the angle of the club shaft. Thus, to obtain a hook, he toed it in at stance, or toed it out to secure a slice. Thus, at the top of the swing, one fac- ing him from the green, could call his shots by the position of the head of the club. When it pointed to the right side of the fairway, Braid_hooked, when it pointed to the left he sliced. To get a straight ball the face of the head should point toward the flag at the top of the swing. (Coyright. 1027.)
