Nationals’ Gameness Brings Victory Over Tigers in Defense of Second Place JONES IS THINKING MORE OF LAW THAN GOLF TITLES BENGALS ARE REPULSED Harris Looks to Hadley, Pitchers to Continue Win 5-1 With Two Out in Eleventh. the in the most staged here rtionals hold on thrill this made second w battle the tain_their place in the American 1 during the remainder of the Detroit club’s stay riffith. stadium. But victory in the sparkling 1l-inning etto that opened the series with the Ba whi sing to Man- ager Bucky left him still busy planning ways and means to combat the visit He is determined to carry the fisht to them forcibly in this_ series, hoping to establish™ the Nationals o firmly in the runner-up position that they may be there when the present home stand ends. The big part of Harris' plans have to do with his pitching, of course, and he has drafted a tentative slate that is expected to cause Ti ters plenty of trouble. This afte noon, if weather permitted play, Irving Hadley, who proved so baflling to the White Sox last Tuesd: < to go to the hill. Tomorrow, il Lisenbee likely will attempt to pitch a real ball same after having ex perienced difficulty along this line since the middie of June. The I clash of the series, scheduled for Tuesday, will find Walter Johnson in the box, for that is to be the Old Master's own day. Zach Strong Until Tenth. Harris had to employ two pitchers Vesterday to wrest the game from the Tigers. Tom Zachary, veteran south- paw, starting for the first time here In a National uniform since the sea- gon of 1925, stuck to his task until nfter the first batter up in the tleventh inning smote a triple, then Garland Braxton was called on to fin- Ish the job. For the Tigers, Lil Stoner went the route and while he vielded eight hits and four passes during the first nine innings did a good bit of tork during that time. But he was found for six hits and a pass in his two rounds and that brought wbout his undoing. Had Zach been properly supported the " game very likely would have ended within regulation time with the Nationals winners by 2 ‘to 1. The southpaw gave up but three safeties and as many walks in the first nine frames and but one of the two tallies made by the Tigers in the second ses- sion was earned. With two gone in the tenth, though, Zach appeared “through” and three hits that crowded the cushions were followed by a pa He came back to the eleventh frame to be found for a three-bagger by the first batter, yet only poor support of Braxton let the Tigers count then. But the fielding lapses of the Na- tionals were forgotten in the face of their game offensives in the extra Innings. They never gave up hope while the Tigers were scoring in each extra_round and battled to victory in the eleventh after two were out when Pinch-batter Benny Tate gave them a rhance by singling to left. Stuffy Btewart, sent in to run for Tate, was moved to second by Earl McNeely's walk, then Manager Harris socked a kingle to right to send Stewart home #nd MeNeely to third. Stewart stumbled as he crossed the third sack, but quickly recovered his stride and registered a tying tally just ahead of Art Ruble's heave to the plate. Spoke Hits in Big Run. Then Tris Speaker came through with a wallop to left that would have A THRILLER AB. R.

A pass to Harris, Speaker’s infield erasure and Joe Judge’s single had given the Na- tionals a run in the first frame, but in the second the T had_come back with two tallies. Then Harry Heil- mann singled a starter. Johnny Neun sent a roller to Harris. With a double-play in sight, Bucky fumbled {the hall and was able to flag the bat- | ter_only. Ossie Bluege ‘foozled Marty McManus' tap and there were Tigers irst and third base. Woodall slammed a single to , scoring Heilmann. A throw by McNeely apparently would have caught MeManus going to third, but it was cut off by Bob Reeves. That put MeManus in a position to tally after peaker made a marvelous one-hand atch of Stoner’s terrific drive to deep center. In the fourth, the Nationals dead- locked the game. Judge opened with a single, only to be forced out by Goose Goslin, Muddy Ruel, though, walked and Ossie Bluege atoned for his misplay in the second round by singling Goslin home with the tying run. From then through the ninth, tho pitchers were in charge. An error by Reeves let Woodall get on at the start of the fifth, but Stoner drilled into a double-play. Bob Fothergill got ingle with two gone in the sixth, Neun walked at the outset of the seventh and was stranded at third base, while Fothergill got a pass with two gone in the ninth. The Nationals peppered Stoner rather freely, but not when it meant anything. Fierce Battle Renewed. But Zach tired after getting two out in the tenth and singles by Jack Warner, Charley Gehringer and Heine Manush followed, the first and last being infield hits. That loaded the sacks and Fothergill drew a pass that shoved Warner across the counting block. Little time was lost by the Nationals in matching this marker. McNeely began their tenth with a two-bagger down the left-field line, Harris bunted Earl to third, and Speaker's long fly to Manush got the runner home. Sin- gles by Judge and Goslin followed, but Ruel was thrown out by Gehrin- ger. Then came Neun’s triple off Zach at the beginning of the Tiger eleventh. That brought Braxton to the slab, and the Tiger clung to third as Bluege heaved out McManus. It appeared that the visitors would be stopped cold when Goslin collared Woodall's loft just back of the shortfield. Neun, though, took a desperate chance and darted for the plate after the catch. This so surprised Goslin, who must have been counting the stitches on the ball, that he pegged wildly. Ruel had to jump far from the home base for a catch, but Neun was over well ahead of the heave.

Young defeated Kid EVANS’ INJURED KNEE UNDER X-RAY TODAY Rilly Tvans, umpire, whose right knee was severely injured while get- ting out of the way of a play in the seventh inning of the battle at Clark Griffith Stadium yesterday, hopes to he able to parti e in the Walter Johnson day celebration on Tuesday, hut will not know for a day or two whether he can do so. Evans, who in addition to being a highly-respected umpire is a regular fellow and immensely popular in and out of the base bali profession, was hobbling on crutches this morning. unable to bear_any pressure on his t foot. An X-ray was to be taken today to determine the extent of the injury. The umpire was hurt as he was hurrying from the hase path near third, to which staMon Johnny Neun was running ahead of a throw from Tris Speaker. Ivans' spikes caught and his right leg was twisted fright- fully. He hopped a short distance toward the Tiger dugout before any one the field realized he had been hurt severely, then was assisted to the visitors’ bench by players. A few minutes later three Tiger players, one supporting the Mmjured carried him to the Washington dressing room, where he was treated hy the club physician and Trainer Mike Martin, Some few fans with an odd sense of humor jeered as Evans hopped off the field after the accident, but as he was carried from the Tiger bench a decent expgession of sympathy for his misfortune came from the stands. Speaker was the man in the pinch several times yesterday. His long fly to Manush accounted for the- tying tally put over in the tenth and his hit to left drove over the decisive run in the eleventh. And Tris' great one- hand catch of Stoner’s long drive in the second certainly was a big contri- bution to the National's cause. Judge was In a hitting mood again, getting three singles and a double in five trips to the plate. When a third strike was called agalnst him in the ninth, Harry Heil- mann said something that Umpire Bill McGowan did not like and was ban- ished. Harry tried to take his place in right later, but had to go to the clubhouse, so Art Ruble finished in that pasture for the Tigers. Both Zach and Stoner worked in great form in the first nine innings. During that time, the Tigers made only 10 drives beyond the infield and the Nationals only nine. JOHNSON TO RECEIVE A VARIETY OF GIFTS In addition to the testimonial fund and the American League distin- guished service medal, Walter Johnson will receive numerous presents from his army of admirers before the game. A number of business concerns and individuals have announced their in- tention to present some unusual and attractive gift to the pitching ace. Gen. Anton Stephan, chairman of the anniversary copmittee, announced that ample time will be allotted for these presentations before the game following the formal presentations by Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg and B. Ban Johnson, retiring president of the American League. He wishes that all persons or firms desiring to make individual presentations would notify him as soon as possible. A special appeal is made by Gen. Stephan to fathers to bring their boys to the testimonial game. The occa- sion will be recalled in future years as one of the outstanding events in the life of the boy who sees Walter pitch next Tuesday, Gen. Stephan sald, adding that a special program, with three bands and Nick Altrock performing, should prove attractive to the youngsters. Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary, calls attention to the remarkable perform- ances of Walter on September 4, § and 7, 1908, when he shut out the Yankees three successive playing days, the 6th being Sunday, and no games were placed in New York on the Sabbath then. Johnson warmed up to start the fourth successive game, but Manager Cantilion chased him to the showers for fear he would injure his arm. But 11 hits were registered off Johnson in those three games. He yielded 6 the first, 3 in the second and 2 in the third. COLLEGE STAR DIES. CHICAGO, July 30 (®.—E. P. ‘Williams, foot ball and track star at Northwestern University a decade ago, died yesterday. Williams, who made a famous 102-yard run in a conference foot ball game, was awarded the Western Conference medal for excellency in scholarship and athletics in 1917, WOMEN AIR golfers of the District will compete in a miniature tourna- ment at the Beaver Dam Club on Monday, August 8. The event will be held under the auspices of the Women’s District Golf Association, but an invitation will be extended to all woman golfers to com- pete, whether or not they are affiliated with the assoclation. Entries will be received at the tee, according to Mrs. H. A. Knox, who will have charge of the event. Play will begin promptly at 9:30. Players are requested to report a lit- tle before this hour if possible. It is probable that there will be team matches in addition to the tournament play. Phe Beaver Dam event will be one of a series of one-day tournaments staged at the various clubs through- out the season by the association. The last, played over the Manor Club course, was won by Mrs. Frank Tom- linson of Columbia, with Mrs. R. Les- ter Rose of Indian Spring annexing the qualification prize. Hoover and Garfield playground ath- letes engaged in lively game of dodge ball at Garfleld yesterday, won by the Hooverites, 20 to 13. Grace Taylor, Katherine Freffs, Mar- garet ubb, Anna Lyles, Annabel | Ladd, Eleanor Clubb, Jane Vernon and Catherine Shriver composed the win- ning squad. Garfield was represented by Alice Jantor, Bessie Pruss, Margaret Brooks, Loretta Cantor, Loveye Adkins, Mar- garet Burke and Pearl Hall. Loveye Adkins and Helen Breen are leading in the round-robin doubles net tourney in progress on the Gar- field playground court. They have not lost a match so far, and added another victory to their credit yesterday when they triumphed over Dorothy Kelso and Tone Hoffman, 4—6, 7—5, 6—0. Should Miss Adkins and Miss Breen win the Garfield title, as they are favored to do, they will be paired to- gether in the interplayground event and should prove to be one of the strongest teams entered. Miss Adkins was the winner of the interplayground singles tourney held last month, and Miss Breen is one of the few play- ALLS, 8.

After six victories Yankees have been halted. The hig Berthas of the Bronx, Babe Rut and Lou Gehrig, failed to knock any base balls out of the stadium yes terday and while they did get their hits and passes they languished, for the most part, on the bases. Cleveland Indlans hung the sign on the Hugmen in the series opener, 6-4. Willis Hudlin was pounded for 14 hits, but the American League cham plons were notoriously weak in the pinches. Bob Meusel fanned onece with the sacks londed, and under identical eircumstances twice hit into double plays. Ruth got three hits in as many attempts, two of them doubles. After a bad start Alphonse Thomas settled down and the White Sox drub- bed Philadelphia, 6-4.

CHICAGO SEEMS SURE TO LAND TITLE FIGHT By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 30.—The prospects for Chicago’s selection as the Demp- sey-Tunney fight site loomed brighter today on the heels of Tex Rickard's announcement that the board of direc- tors of his Madison Square Garden Corporation had wired its support of his_judgment. Rickard, shortly before receiving the telegram, was informed that a petition for an order restraining him from use of the Soldier Filed stadium would be withdrawn, removing an- other obstacle and leading him to re- mark: I'm sure a happy man today, for it certainly looks as if Chicago has cap- tured the big fight.” The petition had been filed by J. Kenter Elliott, an attorney, who said that in view of public favor for the fight the action would not be pressed. Tex said that unless other unfor- seen developments arise the big battle would be stagad at Soldier Field on September 15, d he added that he already had received orders for $180,- 000 worth of tickets, $100,000 of thi amount coming from the big bankers and business men with whom he held fight conferences yesterday.

Jones is looking forward to a | career more golf title: Bobby came r rat to New York last night from his conquest of St. Andrews, where he won the Bri open championship for the see time in two years, announced that he would play no more golf until the national amateur championship starts August 22 at Minneapolis and said he would hurry home to Atlanta to brush up on legal matter: Atlantans were at the gangplank with a brass band as Bobby rushed into the arms of his mother and his wife and shook hands witk. some #0- odd Dixie welcomers. The homecom- ing celebration was stripped of for! ity, a contemplated parade up Fifth avenue was abandoned and Bobby went into a “huddle” with his ad- mirers in a private room at the far end of a pier. Bobby told of various odd thin; connected with his foreign campaign.

Von Elm, Like J ones, Has Been Making Exceptional Scores By the Associated Press HICAGO, July 30.—A clashing of mashies fit to be heard around the world is in pros- pect next month when George von Elm of Los Angeles de- fends his national amateur title and Bobby Jones seeks to regain the crown he lost to the Californian last year. The Olympian battle is made a probability by the extraordinary scores the two have registered in their most recent rounds of golf. Jones' record score of 285 in win- ning the British open championship at St. Andrews for the second time averaged a fraction over 71 strokes to the round, and with those four circuits of the difficult links he com- pleted 10 successive games with an average of 71 even, but Von Elm has just plaved 12 rounds on the severe north course of the Los Angeles Country Club with an average of under 70. Jones made his average of largely at St. Andrews, where the old course has a par of 73, but the links on which Von Elm averaged more than a stroke less has a par only one stroke easler, 72, with a yardage of 6,469. Such marvelous scoring if maintained would bring the twain to- gether at the top of their game when they meet at Minneapolis on the Minikahda course on August 22. The Minikahda. links is not unused to titanic struggles, for over its hills and rills, the record score of 255 for the American open was set in 1914 by Chick Evans, who nosed out Jock Hutchison by one stroke Bobby's score in the British was not only one stroke better Chick’s mark, which still stands afte 11 years, but St. Andrews is a more difficult links. Golf balls have heer made more lively, however, giving upwards of 25 yards more distance and making long holes easier. Von Elm is coming East at once to perfect his grasp of Midwest courses, while Jones is on his way to Atlant to relax from the spectacular war he waged abroad. He was over golfed and tired at the national open last year and won, he said, only be- cause some of the other stars slipped sadly on the last round at cioto. He plans to take it ea the national amateur this yeag. Jones' 10 rounds endin% with th four in the Br K 76-71-68-72-73-72 worst four rounds total while the choice four tally best two rounds add 135 and his worst duet 149. All of them were made in Scotland on strange and difficult links, whipped by sea breezes for the most part Von Elm's last 12 scores were dis- wibuted between 67’s, 68's and £9's, open { His 294, His on Duncan Makes Sure Shots from Rough BY SOL METZGER. Golf balls will get into the rough. How many thousands are lost in this way no one seems to know. But the percentage of balls found in the rough on par 4 holes that eventually are finished in T's, 8's and even 9's is rather high. There is a reason, Golfers with such lies usually swing with tremendous force with an iron, trusting they can make up for their slice or hook and halve the hole. Usually they imbed the ball a’little deeper in the rough. George Duncan plays such a ball as it should be played. Such a lie confronted him at Skokie in the United States open. His ball was nestling deep in weeds and clover some 8 inches tall. Duncan uses a niblick, chopped down on the ball: and sent it flying some 40 yards toward the hole and onto the fairway. He pitched dead the next shot and got his 4. Had he tried for the green on his second the chances are 10 to 1 he would have scored a 6 or 7. Duncan says you must remem- ber that a low backswing and low forward swing through rough are out of the question. You simply can't cut through the stuff and reach the ball with force. Thing to do is to make the backswing upright by using the right hand and then chop down on the ball, making sure only of getting it to the fairway. Sound advice, that. | couRsE RowiNg RECORD IS SMASHED BY WRIGHT ST.
