e . 20 SP Subs to Play If Griffs ORTS." HAYES AND WEST SLATED FOR TRIALS IN CONTESTS Burke to Be Employed as Starting Hurler Should Na- tionals Not Better Standing—Harris Out of Action for Next Two Series. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OR a week at least the Nationals will be a bench-managed club, according to advices from the physician who looks after the health and general physical fit- ness of the athletes on Clark Griffith’s payroll. Not before the White Sox get here next Thursday to stage a four-game series, if then, will Manager Stanley Harris be able to don a uniform and take his place in the local at the second station line-up. Thlpdny after he had his foot spiked by Sammy Hale of the Athletics, Harris considered the ound rather trivial, but yesterday the club physician decided the in- jury was too_serlous to permit the boss of the Nationals engaging in any strenuous work for several days. So Stuffy Stewart, veteran substitute infielder, will have an op- portunity to show his wares around the second sack during the games here with the Red Sox and the tiits with the Macks in Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday. Unless the Nationals make a great stand against the Red Sox and A’s during the next few days and find themselves back in the running for second place in the American League race, there are apt to be several changes in the composition of the club. . Minter Hayes, former Uni- versity of Alabama star inflelder chance to demonstrate just what he can do in big company and if for- tune turns against the Harris horde during the series with_the Carrigan- men and Macks, MinteP probably will replace Ossie Bluege at third base for a time. Subs May Go to Work. Sammy West, too, has about recov- ered from his leg injury and awaits a call to strut his stuff in the gardens. This young fellow, purchased at a good price from the Barons last year, has had little opportunity to prove to Washington fans that he really is a hall player. But should the club find itself out of the running for a big money position, Sammy very likely will be given a shot at left or right fleld playing. Neither Goose Goslin nor Sam Rice has distinguished him- self during the latter part of the cam- paign and West might well be em- ployed in place of one of this pair. And Bobby Burke probably will be given more opportunity to let the folks know what he can do with his left-handed pitching should the Na- tionals drop out of the contest for the runner-up position. Not since June has this young fellow, who performed s0 ably as a starter against the Ath- letics, had a chance to prove his worth as a regular hurler. In rellef roles during the last eight weeks, though, Burke has performed nobly. Really he promises to develop into a valu- able member of the National's mound urchased from the Barons not so jong ago, has been aching for a STRAIGHT O OLF clubs about. Washington are preparing for a serles of tournaments to be held on Labor day. Most of the clubs have sched\:;ed nflal‘:‘s, for Monday, with miniature ai fmedal play tourneys finding most favor. Looking forward to the District 3unior :‘}fnmpionlmp to be held 841 the Town and Country Club pext Friday, youthful golfers of the Wash- tngton Golf and Country Club com- peted in the club junior champion- Ship yesterday, with Gordon Stone the winner by a large margin. Stone jumped into a_three-stroke lead over the first round of the 36-hole medal play event, scoring a 78 against Ell for James G. Drain, his nearest rival. Stone continued his consistent play in the afternoon, registering a 19, while Drain’s score soared up to 87. Stone’s aggregate score Was 157, while that of Drain was 168. Scores made in the tourney follow: Gordon Stone, 78—T79—157; J. G. Drain, 81—87—168; Ed Rice, 83—87— 170; Bonn A. Gilbert, 91—94—185; "urner Smith, 99—94—193; F. D. Pax- ton, jr., 117—112—229. T. B. Webb, $1—no card; Van Smith, no card. Several of the competitors in the tourney took part in the team matches played during the last fortnight between juniors from the Washington and Columbia clubs, both of which resulted in Washington vic- tories. Several of Washington’s leading corps. FF THE TEE qualified, and only Von Elm lost in the first two rounds. Jones found a tartar in Maurice J. McCarthy, but that can be expected anywhere these days, particularly in an 18-hole match. The Von Elm defeat was not alto- gether unlooked for, because the Los Angeles title holder had not been per- forming any too well, and Harry G. Legg, his conqueror, shot a 71 to win. REPORTER IS. SATISFIED TUNNEY HAS VOCABULARY By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 3.—Gene Tun- ney, bookman and boxer, dipped in his much-discussed ‘“‘double-barrele yocabulary in conversation yesterday with newspaper men. A reporter, seeking to put the inter- view on an erudite level, inquired: *“Is training for boxing conducive to 1deals?” “Ideals,, replied the world’s heavy- weight champion, “are congenital.” That was all. Tunney seemed to regard the interrogation as adequately answered. And so did the reporter, who seemingly was satisfied that re- ports of the “90-cent words” used by the champion were true. MARK FOR 1,500-METER SWIM BROKEN BY BORG BOLOGNE, ‘Italy, September 3 (). —Arne Borg, the famous Swedish swimmer, established what Is claimed amateur players are to compete in the first annual Fall tourney of the Shenvallee Golf Club at New Market, Va., next week. The tourney, ‘which will include events for women as well as for men, will be played September 7, 8, 9 and 10. Frank K. Roesch, champion of the ‘Washington Golf and Country Club and junior title holder of Washington, has reduced his ringer score for the season to 54, 17 strokes under the par of 71 for the course. The ringer con- test closes September 15. Gordon Stone is second, with 55. Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow. the present title holder; Virginia Holzderber, the Maryland State champion; Effie Bowes and several other leading players of Maryland, plan to enter the women’s champlonship of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, which has been ten- tatively set for October 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, over the course of the Congressional Country Club. Miss Bowes, a former holder of the Maryland title, is recov- eing from injuries received in an auto- mobile accident several weeks ago, and expects to be an entrant. Dor- othy White, women’s District cham- pion, will play, along with other local ‘woman stars. Miss White plans to compete in the women’s national championship, to be played at the Cherry Valley Club, at Garden City, Long Island, September 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. of the draw for the amateur championship, first attempted on a big scale at Minikahda, survived its first test in good fashion. Most of the first 10 players in the ranking list of the United States Golf Association Hunter Keeps Only Left Eye on Ball LOOK AT SPOT YOU INTEND TO HIT THEN HIT 1T - RIVETS LEFT €YE ONBALL Y SOL METZGER. It is all very well and good for you to adopt the slogan “Keep your eyes on the ball,” but some of the best of them do not. Had you watched Willie Hunter, former British amateur champ and now a pro in California, play in the recent open at Oakmont, you would have seen, as 1 most certainly did, that Willie glues but one eye on the ball—the left. What he does with the right may be a mystery, but had you watched his driving you would have agreed that at the top of his swing, his right could not well have seen the ball, for Hun- ter's head turns at the neck well to the right as he goes back to get set for his shot. It’s not a bad policy, by the way, %o pick out the particular spot on the ball you wish the club face to smack. Hunter does just this. He keeps his left eye on that spot, that eye telegraphs the message to his muscles that it is the spot his club face is to smash, and his muscles do the rest. He hits that spot. It's in the middle of the ball, just below center. When he swings into that spot with the face of his wood the ball travels in the direc- tion indicated by the arrow—on a straight line for the hole and with slight elevation. Sl ffgu— to be a world record for the 1,500 meter swim by negotiating that dis- tance in 19 minutes 7 1-5 seconds. Borg set this figure in winning the final 1,500 meters. If Borg's figure is accepted as a record, it will displace that held by the young Australian swimmer, A. Chariton, since July 15, 1924. Charl- ton did 1,500 meters, free style, in Paris, in 20 minutes 6 6-10 seconds. —_— GIANTS BEAT RED SOX.

Cox, a first baseman, has had offers to play professional base ball. He played a line position on the local school eleven &nd ‘a forward on the basket ball team. He plans to try for the Georgetown freshman grid team this Fall. s TWO CAPITAL NETMEN WIN IN SHO’ TOURNEY ‘Bob Considine and W. Carter Baum, District tennis stars, won their first- round matches in the annual Eastern Shore Peninsular championship tour- nament, which opened at Easton, Md.,| yesterday. Clyde D. Young and Rob- ert Burwell, also of this city, were. de- feated. Tom Mangan, local star, who won the President’s cup last year, is not competing. TUNNEY IS WELL PLEASED WITH TRAINING QUARTERS By the Associated Press HICAGO, September 3.—Quar- tered in million-dollar proper- ties, 70 miles apart, Gene Tun- ney and Jack Dempsey barred workout in favor of relaxa- tion today—the champion to rest from his journey from Speculator, N. Y., the challenger to attend a county fair. Monday they expect to resume spar- ring, to whittle themselves to keen edges for their championship fight at Soldier Field September 22. The jad conveniences of his Cedar Crest camp drew Tunney’s at- tention, with visitors barred for today, while the champion looked into the boating, bathing, riding, hiking and golfing possibilities of the former Deering estate. Dempsey had promised to visit the ‘Watseka County fair today with Paul Prehn of the Illinols State Athletic Commission and Manager Flynn de- creed a day off for the former cham- pion from all but road work and cal- isthenics. A quarter of a million people paid their respects to Tunney yesterday in an uproarious welcome in the loop, while Gov. Small of Illinois and Will Rogers of Beverly Hills called upon Dempsey. The surprising vigor of his recep- tion still was reflected today in Tun- ney's smile and the facilities at his camp were equally pleasing, Tunney arrived in time to get his books un- packed, change to golfing togs and look over the training quarters about half a mile from the old Deering man- sion, which is now the clubhouse. Some road’ work today and a com- plete rest tomorrow, Manager’ Billy Gibson said, will fit the champion for the resumption of bag punching and work with sparring partners on Mon- day. The champion is “only a week away” in his training, Gibson added, with nearly three weeks time in which to shed a pound or two and polish up in his sharpshooting. “Tunney's original plans to charge no admission to his training session were revised today, because it was feared that a free gate would result in crowds too large to be accommo- dated. An admission of $1.10 will be charged, the same as that in effect at Dempsey's camp. What disposition will be made of the receipts has not been determined. At his Speculator, N. Y., camp Tunney gave the money to two churches and an amateur ath- letic club. The two rings, one outdoors and one inside the former horse show building of the Deering estate, would both need police protection to handle big crowds. The Circuit Court injunction suit brought by B. E. Clements and the Coliseum Club, seeking to enjoin Dempsey, is likely to have a hearing next Wednesday. Summons were served on Rickard, the boxing commis- sion and George F. Getz, Rickgrd’'s Illinois sponsor, but neither Dempsey nor Floyd Fitzsimmons, Michigan pro- moter, had been reached early today. None of the defendants showed any concern over the action, which is a renewal of the Federal Court suit filed last Fall at Indianapolis just be- fore the battle of the Sesqui. Rickard and Getz sald their lawyers would show Clements has no hold on the former champion. Clements claims he purchased Dempsey’s contract to meet Harry Wills through Fitzsimmons. Sande’s Wife’s Death Is Laid To Dieting to “Pace” Jockey ssociated Press. EW YORK, September 3.—Earl Sande “now must go it alone.” Mrs. Marion Casey Sande, wife of the noted jockey, died at Saratoga Springs yesterday, and today friends told the story of her illness—health undermined by a val- iant effort to be diet “pacemaker” to keep the jockey down to weight after his spill on the track at Saratoga four years ago. Sande was caught under the horse in the fall. He would never ride again, the wise ones said, as the jockey lay in a plaster cast in a hospital for months. & But his wife was beside him daily, and told him that he certainly would ride again. With recuperation came the task of keeping down to weight— 112 pounds. Sande was no longer the 70-pound boy who ran away from his father's farm at American Falls, Idaho, when he was 16 years old, in 191 By the His diet wad fruit for breakfast, beef broth for lunch, and sometimes a | & steak at night. In between came long hours ‘of roadwork. ““We'll take care of the weight propo- sition,” his wife was quoted as having said. “In making this weight you need a companion, a sort of pace- maker. I will diet with you.” It was too much for her, they said at Saratoga, and Mrs. Sande became ill at the opening of the Saratoga sea- son after a strenuous training grind. Ten days ago she was able to accom- pany her husband to the course to see him ride Chance Shot to a glorious victory, but as the jockey crossed the line Mrs. Sande collapsed. “Marion has gone,” Sande said as he started for Boston with the body yesterday. *It doesn’t seem possible.” Notables of the social and financial world were at the train and across the high heap of floral pieces one turf magnate said: “Sande now must go it alone.” WOMAN SWIMMERS BEAT THREE MARKS STREATOR, Ill, September 3 (®). —Three National Amateur Athletic Union swimming records were shat- tered in the Streator High School pool last night by members of the Women's Swimming Association of New York. Martha Norelius set a new mark in the 200-yard free style by swimming the distance in 2 minutes 25 2-5 sec- onds. The old mark, held by Ger- trude Ederle, was 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Ethel McGary broke the record in the 300-meter free style with the time of 4 minutes 20 4-5 seconds, Adelaide Lambert of New York held the old mark, which was 4 minutes and 29 3-5 seconds. The other record-breaking perform- ance in the 220-yard breast stroke was by Agnes Geraghty, who bettered | > her own record of 3 minutes 21 3.5 seconds by swimming the distance in 3 minutes 17 3-5 seconds. 6. U. SQUAD TO HOLD ANOTHER SCRIMMAGE WILDWOOD, N. J., September 3.— Georgetown University's foot ball squad was slated for another stiff scrimmage today following its first one yesterday. Head Coach Lou Little expected improvement in his charges after their rather mediocre showing in their first test under fire. Charging and tackling drills, kick- ing with ends and tackles covering the boots and huddle practice also was in order yesterday. George Mc- Cabe, Bucky O'Neil and John‘Hanni- gan flashed some fine open-fleld run- ning in returning the punts. Yester- day was the first time the Blue and Gray has given attention to the hud- dle which possibly may be employed this season by the Hilltoppers. Jim Mooney and his brother Bill got to camp yesterday, boosting the squad to 39. Weighing 190 pounds, Jim is looked upon as likely to land the guard job formerly held by Harry (Babe) Connaughton, all-America s lection. Bill is an end. The Mooneys are from Chicago. WHITAKER IN.PLAY-OFF FOR U. S. CHESS HONORS KALAMAZOO, Mich., September 3. —With a play-off scheduled among the three players tied for first place the national chess tournament here was to end today.

ALL-AMERICAN FINAL IN DOUBLES CERTAIN BROOKLINE, Mass, September 3 (#).—The assurance of an all-Amer- ican national doubles championship team cheered tennis followers today as two combinations of veterans pre- pared to defend their laurels against aspiring youth in the semi-finals of the forty-sixth annual tournament at the Longwood Cricket Club here. The striking elimination of the re- doubtable Frenchmen, Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon, and Jean Borotra and Rene Lacoste, continued to dominate interest today, long after vesterday's sensational quarter final round had passed into history. The former were swept to defeat by America’s young alternate of the Davis Cup squad, John Doeg of Santa Monica, Calif., ang George M. Lott, Jjr,, of Chicago in five hard sets, 6—3, —6, 6—3, 2—6, 9—1T. Borotra and Lacoste met more declsive disaster at the hands of John Hennessey. of Indianapolis and Lucien ‘Williams of Chicago, 6—3, 6—2, 6—4. Today the heretofore invincible ‘Willlam T. Tilden, 2d, and Francis T. Hunter of New Rochelle, N. Y., must face the national clay court cham- pions while the youthful Doeg and Lott will have their hands full with Richard N. Willilams of Philadelphia and Willlam “Little Bill” Johnston of San Francisco. Tilden and Hunter easily elimi- nated Nathaniel W. Niles, Boston, ind Watson M. Washburn, New York. Yankee veterans, 8—6, 6—2. Williams and Johnston had a com- paratively simple task in defeating the Pacific Coast champions, James Davies and Gerald Stratford, both of San Francisco, 7—5, 6—2, 6—1. RAPID-FIRE RIFLE;ITLE IS ANNEXED BY MARINE CAMP PERRY, Ohlo, September 3. —After tieing with Enstgn J. P. De- shazo, U. 8. N., with 99 hits out of a possible 100, R. M.

C., yesterday won the shoot-off with a string of 48 in 50 from 300 yards in the National Rifle Association rapid-fire champion- ship, the opening event on the pro- gram of the national rifle matches here.

The jaunty world champions fell victims at the Pittsburgh rendezvous yester- day by 5 to 3, while the Reds were adding to the woes of the Cubs, with a 5-t0-0 whitewashing. That gave the Corsairs a full game lead on Chicago, enabling them to end the week in the lead regardless of today’'s games. ‘While Pilot Bush of the Pirates and Pilot McCarthy of the Cubs seem to have decided that the championship will be purely a family affair betwixt, Pittsburgh and Chicago, the fourth place New Yorkers are only two and one-half games from the crest and one percentage point from the third- place St. Louis gang. The Giants, who have won seven straight, had an open date yesterday. Five Games in a Row. The Braves scalped the Robins by 3 to 2 to_resume sixth place in the standing, Farrell's single in the ninth driving Welsh across the plate with the winning run, Ruth and Gehrig Do It. The Yanks maintained their heavy gait by thrashing the Athletics, 12 to 2, swamping Walberg and Gray with 20 hits. Gehrig amassed two homers for a total of 43, and Ruth belted one, his forty-fourth. Nineteen players were used by the White Sox, but to no avail, as the Indians dashed oft with a 7-to-6 vie- tory. Johnny Mostil made his first appearance of the year with the pallid hns:. running for Crouse in the sev- enth. Gaston vanquished Lil Stoner in a pitchers’ duel which Gaston settled with a single on top of Williams® triple in the ninth for the deciding margin in the Browns' 3-to2 triumph over the Tigers. O'Neil had doubled and scored with the tying counter on the three-base smash by Williams. A summary of yesterday's games: AMERICAN LEAGUE. Pittsburgh has won five straight while Chicago has had as many losses in a row. Alexander the Great could not stop the Pirates and was biffed for 15 hits, although he tightened up at critical times, preventing heavy scoring. Ray Kremer stopped the champlons with nine safe raps. Rabbit Maranville, formerly of the sandlots of Springfleld, Mass.; Pitts- burgh, Chicago, Brooklyn and Boston ‘National League clubs, and Rorchester Internationals, made his initial start with the Cardinals at shortstop. At Cincinnati Jakie gave out three measly singles to the Cubs. His op- ponent, Percy Jones, got into trouble in the fourth inning by walking three batters, which, coupled with two boots by his mates, gave the Reds a four- run lead. COMEDY swim, in which a group of skilled mermaids per- formed unusual and amusing stunts in the Rosedale Play- ground pool yesterday, was the feature event on the local sport pro- gram for members of the fair sex. Under the direction of Mrs. Kath- erine Pfeiffer Ladd, playground swim- ming instructor, the youthful swim- mers, representing the best talent among the Rosedale tank enthusiasts, put on a virtual water circus, the events including a nightsown relay, inner-tube race, in which participants sat within an inner tube and paddled with their hands; a balloon race, a backward tandem, breast-stroke tan- dem, tub race, side stroke race, with comedy rooters on the side lines; a feet-first swim, a tug-o-war, a water- melon grab and a hobble swim, which was perhaps the most difficult feat of all. The contestants swam with their hands or their feet tied. One had her hands tied behind her, another in front, and the third had her feet bound. The watermelon grab produced some lively competition. A large, luscious melon was placed on the water in the center of the pool. The swimmers raced from either end to claim the prize. Then ensued a stiff tussle for its possession, won finally by Rufina King, who bore the watermelon tri- umphantly back to her. starting place. In the feet-first race the contestants swam on their backs, with their feet extended above the water line, in front of them, and- held perfectly still throughout the race. The comedy feature of the side- stroke race was introduced by three “rooters” on the bank, one dressed as an old-fashioned girl; one as a farmer and the other as a _little child. They became so excited over their “favorites” in the race that they tumbled in themselves amidst a great splashing and appreciative roars from the other spectators. Incidentally, the race was won by Hazel Wolfe with Rufina King second and Angelina Stasulli, third. Jane Arnold won the tub race, paddling the entire length of the pool with her hands, while she sat in a wooden tub. Much merriment was caused by the nightgown relay, won by Helen Harris, Hazel Weclfe, Margaret Roudabush and Clara King. Each girl had to don the gown, swim the length of the pool and remove her costume, leaving it for her team mate to struggle into. By the time the gowns were thoroughly soaked it was not such an easy matter to get into them and the racers discovered anew the truth of the proverb that “haste makes waste.” Summary of events: Inner-tube race—Won by Bernice second.
