Bucky evi- dently is feeling the strain of this los- ing streak more than any other mem- ber of the Nationals and it is telling heavily in his performance. He needs & rest. He certainly is not helping his club at present and a substitute in his position surely could not make matters worse. In taking their late twel(th straight defeat yesterday. the Nationals were as helpless at bat as they have been for some time and their pitching broke down toward the fag end of the fray YANKS WIN OVER BROWNS IS 17 IN ROW FOR SEASON By the Associated Prose: HERE have been many base ball hoodoos. but that held by the New York Yankees over the hapless St. Louis Browns is one of the most effective on record. The Yanks and Browns have played 17 games this vear and the St. Louis team has failed to break into the victory column once. The Hug- men took off the heavy side of a 106 sccre at Sportsman’s Park yesterday. It was a_ freeswinging game and Babe Ruth lashed out his forty-second home run of the season to become 2 up on Lou Gehrig. The Bambino park- ed the ball out of the lot in the first inning with Koenig on base. It was Ruth’s second homer in successive Ruether and Wingard were in- ffective. and were replaced with Shocker and Vangilder, respectively. After seven victories in a row, the Cleveland Indians bowed before the Boston Red Sox, 6-5, in an 1linning game. The winning run came on Hoffman's single, a sacrifice by Ruff- ing and Rothrock’s single. An error by Joe Sewell, Indian shortstop, cost two runs. Connie Mack's Philadelphians, after having forged into second place in the American League flag racs, strength- ened their hold by dropping Detroit &zain, It was the fifth succes- sive defeat for Morlarity’s men, who previously had won 13 fa a row. Owen Carro!l was wild and ineffective and was removed after seven innings. Walberg replaced Lefty Grove at the same time. The National League attractions were rained out. The New York ts were idle for the seventh day succession, a major league record August of any year.

They simply %0 to the fleld just in time for pre- game drills, go through the motions of ball plaving during the engage- ment, hurry back to their hotel as soon as possible after the loss and promptly forget all that has happened. No meetings are held before games and no discussions of the lost con- test occur afterward. In fact, the Nationals have all but ceased to be a club. It has become a matter of every man for himself, with none bothering particularly whether the other fellow is doing good work or poor work. Certainly. a good ball club has gone Wrong. Clayton Van fielding practice Istyne fell during esterday and hurt his left shoulder. The Injury, upon examination at a hospital, proved more painful than serious and the pitcher soon will be ready for active duty again. Manager Harris at the last moment switched to Johnson as starting pitcher against the Sox vesterday, reserving Lisenbee for today. Walter had plenty on the ball during the three innings he worked, but in his last round the leg he had hurt pained so that he had to retire. Now the players know just how desperate are the gunmen of this city.

By the Associated Press HICAGO, August 29. — Jack Dempsey has entered the in- tensive phase of his training program for his fight with Gene Tunney in Soldier Field next month. From now until he nears top form he will go through a daily schedule of boxing, his manager, Leo P. Flynn, has outlined, and his camp at Lincoln Fields is well stocked with partners for the sparring festivitles. Two thousand cash customers saw the former champion tear into four mates yesterday and for the first time in her life his wife, stelle Taylor, looked on as her husband fought. However, she had a remote seat on the third floor of the Lincoln Fields clubhouse and she turned her head time her husband tore into one mates he hid her eves when Jack clashed a cut over Bennie Krueger's eve, blinding the hig German so that he was excused from the ring. Twice fater she turned away when Jack sent Policeman Billy Marshall of the Chi- o force tumbling to the canvas. Doesn’t Appeal to Her. M Dempsey returned to her hotel soon after the workouts, admitting to friends that she didn't like the box- ing part of the visit. Manager Leo P. Flynn, who dogged Jack's footsteps around the ring, | showering him with advice and coun- sel, was highly pleased with the 'mer champion's showing hefore the 2,000 customers. The heavy boxing work will be continued daily, Flynn said, until Jack appears near his top torm, and then he will be permitted to hox only intermittently until ring time, Before Jack appeared for his daily session in the ring, the spectators, barred from the clubhouse because of s. DEMPSEY DOWN TO HARD Dempsey's visit, stormed the around the ring, but Flynn drove them back with the warning there would be no exhibition until they withdrew. Jack varied his training routine ves- terday with the best available substi- tute for a rowboat, having a rowing machine installed on the third floor| of the clubhouse. It forms part of his evening exercises after dinner. One of Gene Tunney's former spar- ring partners, Osk Till, 160-pounder of Rochester, N. Y., was on hand today to help with Dempsey's training. Flynn believes that Till will prove one of Dempsey’s most valuable assistants Jack Johnson, the former heavy weight champion, called on Dempsey sterday, the first time this pair of Jacks had ever met. Johnson could not stay to watch Dempsey's four rounds of ring work, but said he would return Wednesday to see Dempsey in action. Mysterious Five Is Busy. The mysterious ticket committee which has charge of the first few rows around the ringside planned to start sifting the heaps of applications from notables all over the country today. Tex Rickard and George Getz, his Ilii- nois sponsor, have announced that five representative business men com pose this jury, but that their names will not be given out. Some speculators on the committee personnel today picked Getz himself as one of three already chosen. The other two were guessed to be Charles Fitzmorris, former chief of police and now city controller, and Elmer T. Stevens, State street merchant. The only definite word concerning the distribution of the choice seats is that there will be 108 well known per- sons in the front row. All other ticket purchasers continue to buy their seats blind.

LEADS IN SWIMMING MEET HONOLULU, August 29 (#).—The Minois Athletic Club of Chicago, with Johnny Weissmuller as its brightest star, scored points and rried off first honors in the man's National Amateur Athletic Union outdoor swimming championships, which has closed here. Weissmuller and P. Desjardine of the Roman Pool, Miami, Fla. were tied for high point man with 15 each, in national events. The Outrigger Canoe Club of Hono- lulu was second as an organization with 20 points. The final events of the meet pro- vided thrills for a crowd which had brought out every seat in the new Memorial Natatorium. Weissmuller took the 880-yard national free- style event in 10 minutes 22 1-3 seconds. Clarence Crabbe of the Outrigger Cance Club was second. Takaishi made a desperate bid for the half-mile honors. All four of the leaders were bunched for the first 220 yards, but after that the dis- tances between them began to widen. Until they were past the 330-yard mark Takaishi led Glancy, but the terrific pace tired him and he gradu- ally dropped back to fourth place. ‘Walter Spence of Brooklyn, N. Y., Y. M. C. A. won the 44-yard breast- stroke race, with Yoshiyuki Tsuruta of Japan second. The time was 649 4-5.
