16 Faltering Nationals Must Take Brace to GRIFFS TOMORROW START A 5-GAME SET IN DETROIT To Avoid Slipping in Race Harrismen Will Have to| Improve on Work in terday Brought a 65 Overtime Defeat. BY JOHN B. KELLER. T. LOUIS, August 19.—Follow- ing a final fling at the Browns in this town this season, the Nationls will embark tonight for Detroit, where there Is a pretty good ball club to be met Unless Bucky Harris’ horde puts upa better argument against the Tigers in the flve.gam series that will be opened tomorrow with a double- header than it has been putting up against the Howleymen here, it will find itself on the ragged edge of sec- ond place i not out of it altogether when it quits Detroit The Nationals certainly have not | performed as a prospective runner-up in the American League champion- ship race in their stay here. Thus far they have failed to find much use for their flails and have not sparkled afield by any means. True, they have had quite fair pitching in the series with the Browns, but all 1he fina efforts of their hoxmen have been wasted with the club faltering miserably in other departments of play. P'Rikht on the heels of the Wednes- day defeat in the ninth inning of the second clash of a double-header came another licking yesterday when the Browns rose in their fury and swept aside a lead earned against them in the early rounds of the pastiming. The Browns won, 6 to 5, and had to g0 to the twelfth inning to do so, but they surely were the whole show after the first three innings, in which the Nationals did all their counting. Yead Frittered Away. Harris’ gang simply frittered away the five-run advantage it attained in the early stages of the fray. It kicked the ball about, used poor judgment in throws, slowed notice- ably in the infleld, all but lost sight of the sphere entirely at bat and generally managed to undo all the good that was done by its hurler. The Nationals have no alibi for this second successive defeat in the series with the Browns. As the game was plaved, they were the worst club and deserved the trimming. Walter Johnson and Win Ballou were the opposing pitchers at the out- met of hostilities, but neither lasted. After yielding seven safeties and thres passes for five markers in the first three frames, Ballou called it a day. Johnson went through six ses- sions, granting six hits and three walks that enabled the Browns to get back three of the runs their starting slabmen had given up. In the sixth inning Johnson probably would have held the Browns scoreless instead of being reached for a run had his sup- ort been faster. But sluggish fleld- ng blasted a double play hope, and a Brown capered over the counting block after a play that should have meant a third out was made. | Speaker was too slow as well as wild | gifry. Al Crowder, who wore a Washing- ton uniform during the first half of this seaso! relieved Ballou, while Garland Braxton assumed Johnson's place on the hill. Crowder was wild, issuing five passes, but he gave up only five bingles in the nine rounds he went to the finish. Until the tenth inning Johnso! who had combed Rallou for a single, was the only Na- tional to nick Crowder. Walter raised his hit total for the game to three at Al's expenss. Crowder found him- self in_close quarters several times, particularly 14 tHe eléventh, when two walks following a hit crowded the bases with two out, but he always had enough in reserve to baffie the Nationals. s Braxton Does Well, Too. Braxton, too, gave a fine perform- ance against the Brown: He was unfortunate enough to have his sup- port go to pieces in the seventh, his first Inning of toil, and let the Browns get two runs to deadlock the fray. From then until one was out in the twelfth he was strong, bat after the Browns had reached the southpaw in the twelfth for a brace of hits to =well the lot made off him to six, he gave way to Fred Marberry. The big Texan purposely passed one batter to fill the sacks, then was reached by the next for a long fly that let the de- cisive run get home. Hartris’ walk and theft, Speaker's re- tirement and Goslin's single account- ed for a National tally in t first frame. In the third, Ballou was nick- ed for singler by Johnson, Speaker, Goslin and Bluege and a triple by MecNeely in addition to passing Rice Srp— smususkumsoR | cosucauabnug Slomsenssssas?

Then the Browns got into the run making business. Johnson walked Schang at the beginning of the third in- ning and Gerber tripled Wally to the plate. O'Rourke’s single put Gerber over the hig base. O'Rourke started the sixth with a single. Harry Rice grounded to Harris and an easy two ply killing was in sight. O'Rourke ras forced out, but Reeves' relay to to flag the batter.

Schang, first up, singled. When Gerber rolled to Harrls, though, it/ emed_there would be two out in a | But Bucky pushed the ball all around his feet and there were two Browns on the run-way. To make matters worse, Braxton grabbed Crowder’s sacrifice bunt and tried for a force play at third, al though Schang was virtually at the bag when the ball got to the pitcher. All hands clung to the bases after Goslin collared O’Rourke’s loft and Braxton whiffed Harry Rice. Speaker, though, made a feeble break toward Sisler's grounder and the ball bounded off the National first-sacker's gloved hand to right for a double that tallied Schang and Gerber. The Nationals made a bid for vic- tory in the tenth with runners on first and second bases and one out, but neither Ruel nor Bluege could lend a helping hand. In the eleventh they had the sacks crowded with two out, but Goslin, with a threeand-two| count, hoisted to Bing Miller in short | center. Sisler started the Browns toward their win after Harry Rice had been disposed of in the twelfth. He bound- ed the ball off Braxton's glove to- ward Reeves. The shortstop came in fast for a pick-up and a good throw to Speaker. Spoke dropped the ball, letting Sisler make first safely. The batter was credited with a hit, but the ball clearly beat him to the bag, for Umpire Vangraflan signaled a de. cision reversal after Speaker fumbled. Williams sent the ball high against the stand barrier at the right fleld corner for a double that put Sisler at third base. In came Marberry, and Bing Miller was handed a walk to load the sacks. Then Melillo, who in his four previous drives to fair territory had picked left fleld as a parking place, lifted toward the right fleld corner. Sam Rice made a spectacular one-hand catch of the hoist, but never had a chance to get Sisler with a throw to the plate, PUNISHMENT CAUSES OFF DAY FOR HARRIS ST. LOUIS, August 19.—That $100 fine imposed upon Bucky Harris by President Ban Johnson for the run-in with Umpire Clarence Rowland during the opener of the recent Yankee se- ries in Washington must have preved on the mind of the Nationals’ man- ager vesterday. He struck out three of the six times he stepped to the plate and made the error that opened the way to the Browns’ deadlocking rally in the seventh While President Johnson admitted in his letter to Bucky, received short- 1y before the start of the third game of the set here, that no official report of the incident that caused Harris' banishment from the game on August 10 had heen received at league head- quarters, the Nationals’ pilot has no comeback. “I hate to give up that hundred,” Bucky remarked, “but 1'll Lave to do x0.” And Ban ordered that Harris send his personal check in payment. Those few fans attending the games hetween Nationals and Browns surely are getting their mone; worth. Blackie O'Rourke and Harry Rice of the home club threw in enough fancy flelding stunts to make the game yes- terday sparkle all the way. In the fourth round, Harry Rice ran back and crashed against the right field stand barrier to drag down Har- ris’ liner. The Brownie let go the sphere as he fell away from the wall, but recovered it just before it reached the ground. O’'Rourke made a remarkable stop of Sam Rice’s high bounder over the third sack in the same inning and re- covered his balance just in time to throw for a force-out of Johnson at second. The play kept a hit from Sam, as Blackie had no chance to throw out the batter. Young Fred Burnett, pitcher who reported to Harris for trial here, was given the once-over by the Wa ton manager vesterday. Bucky was to d-cide today whether a contract would be offered the Missouri semi- pro phenom. BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS AMERICAN LEAGUR. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. Washington, 5 (12 innings) .

Bix Leagus Third Bassman and for 10 sears an American League Umpire. ASHINGTON has made a better job of threatening the New York hold on first place in the American League standing than any other team. Washington is one of the few teams in history that did not crack after winning a few pennants. Usually a team that wins a champlonship slips completely out of the picture a year or so after its achievement. Stanley Harris, the sparkling leader of the Washingtons, deserves heaps of credit for keeping his outfit within shooting distance of another pennant. Individually he is the outstanding base ball personality of the team. He is related to Washington as Ed- die Collins was to Chicago's White Sox when he managed them. While Collins played second base the Sox went great guns when injuries kept him on the bench they slumped badly. It is the same thing when Harris is out of the Washington line-up. Harris Faced Problem. A little more than a year ago Har- ris faced a tremendous problem when the brilliant Peckinpaugh gave posi- tive evidence that he could no longer maintain_ high speed at short. Har- ris and Peckinpaugh, working around second base, had brought two pen- nants and a world title to Washingtoh through their ability to put over a double-play program that -never has been surpassed in base ball history. Peckinpaugh departed and for a time it seemed as if Buddy Myer, a re- cruit, would take his place, but Myer failed to fall into the Harris scheme of things and finally was traded to Boston for Topper Rigney. Bluege also was tried at short, hut Harris soon saw the futility of trying to make a shortstop out of a player who comes close to being a great third baseman. Rigney was tried thers this Spring.

Then Harrls shoved in Reeves, a youngster who had come out of the South. Harris turned the job over to him. Reeves has a great throwing arm and he is accurate in his throws to first, but he lacks finesse in his short quick throws to second, the throws that start double plays. IHis hands are not so sure as they should be, but at his present rate of improvement these flaws will be overcome. One of the bright spots in Reeves' makeup is his keenness and base ball intelligence. It Reeves comes through, and his chances are more than favor- able, the Washington infleld will re- turn to its former high standard Rluege fs a performer of unusual merit, and Judge, at first, should have several more good years. Loss of Covey Was Blow. When the dependable Stanley Cov- eleskie ended his career as Washing- ton pitcher, Harris' troubles hegan. Washingtgn was doped to finish low because rris was not expected to get much pitching. Then, when the great Walter Johnson broke an ankle in Spring tralning, the last hope seemed gone. But suddenly Lisenbee, a right-hand recruit, began winning and then an- other youngster, a chunky right- hander by the name of Hadley, began to deliver. These young prizes stopped every team in the American League and put the pitching staff back on its feet. Handled by the aggressive “Muddy" Ruel, an intelligent catcher, the re- cruits seem well on thelr way to star- dom. Their pitching, and the work of Reeves at short, started Washington winning. It now is a well-balanced team, playing intelligent base ball and playing aggressively. It is a team that fights all the way and with a bit better break at the start it would now be going neck and neck with New York. (Copyright. 1037.) By the Associated Pres HICAGO, August 19.—TInspired by a tumultous welcome, Jack Dempsey today began looking over the scenes of his training for the forthcoming effort to regain the heavyweight championship. Three great crowds were avoided by the former champion in getting his wife, Estells Taylor, comfortably set- tled in an uptown hotel. Thousands were assembled at two stations of the Northwestern Railroad, but Dempsey alighted in a suburb, where he was unrecognized. Then he went downtown to ‘‘meet the bunch,” but the Morrison Hotel lobby and entrance were jammed 8o tightly that he tried three times with- out success to get inside and finally had to enter the back door. Once settled in the bungalow on the roof, he greeted scores of old friends and newspaper men. “It's great to be back in Chicago,” Dempsey said to them all. “I see I've lots of friends here and I have always wanted to fight here. I don’t know of any place 1'd rather win back my title than right here. Ten years ago I used to go on for my act at a littls West Side theater here when the buzzer sounded.” A visit to Lincoln Flelds race course, where his training will begin Monda and perhaps a look at Soldier Field, where he will fight again for the crown that once was his, were Demp- sey’s only plans for the day. Manager DEMPSEY IS GIVEN GREAT OVATION BY CHICAGO FANS Leo Flynn hoped to get in a round of golf with Dempsey, and perhaps Tex Rickard, to help Jack get rid of his “train legs.” The latest word from Champion Gene Tunney's camp, at Speculator, N. Y., was that Tunney would ar- rive late next week to finish his training at the Cedar Crest Country Club. The size of the purse Tunney will carry off, win, lose or draw, in the battle at Soldiers’ Fleld, September 22, s one of the things Dempsey's friends e concerned about while Jack was resting up today, for the start of his training grind next Mon- day. Champlon Gene will get around a milllon and a quarter for this one fight, Dempsey’'s advisers have fig- ured, while Jack will get about half that sum. Tunney's contract calls for $500,000 and one-half the gate in excess of a million. “Dempsey is the drawing card in this fight,” said Floyd Fitzsimmons, a promoter himself and one of Demp- ®ey's close friends. *“And everybody knows it, too. If the gate goes to £3,000.000, as Tex Rickard and his backers expect, Tunney will get in the neighborhood of $1,200,000 for his share. Dempsey’s percentage will be no where near this amount.” The former champion is figured to get around $700,000, whila the motion picture profits will he shared equally by Tunney, Dempsey and Rickard.
