Three weeks ago the Nationals were | _An last place in the American League ‘and apparently doomed to stick around the bottom of the circuit ing they were occupying the fourth i position In the stand of the clubs. A fine jump in three weeks for a club that was unable during the first seven weeks of the championship campaign to _assert itself The Nationals’ climb from the foot o 17 emgagements, staged over the three- week stretch. The big win lifting them e the Indians, who had been a first division outfit since the start of the season, came yesterday when they downed the Red Sox, 1 to 0, and bagged the series with this club, three games | to_two. Being in fourth place after a dis-| appointing start naturally has the| ‘Washin crew feeling peppery. but | 4t'll need all its pepper and everything eise it has in a base ball way to re-| tain its first division laurels during the | set with the Athletics here. The six- | game series that was due to get under ‘way this afternoon with & double-head- er ought to provide a severe test for the Nationals. If they emerge from it in the upper bracket, there they likely to be when the halfway point ¢ their season schedule is passed on 7. the course of their march from the end of the procession to fourth place the line, the Nationals have been for- “ tunate in getting a great deal out of pitchers who prior to the advance had “ not been consistently good in their work.

A young Yale eight met Harvard's| outlasted despite a handicap of seven | pounds to the man. Yale will now train for the Olympic distance of 2,000 meters, over which the Olympic_trials at Philadelphia, July 5. 6, and 7, and the Olympic championship rate at Am- ; sterdam later in the Summer, will be rowed.

Many who saw Yale oarsmen in action yesterday, however, regard them as worthy to_foi- low in the foot steps of the 1920 Blue eight, which not only downed Harvard at four miles, but won the Olympic championship at 2,000 meters as well.

Not since the clash with the Yankees in the big stadium in New York on May 31 has the Goose gone without one or more hits in a fray. During this streak he has reached opposing hurlers for 31 hits in 63 times at bat, an average of 492. The started at St. Louls on June 2. In two | games against the Browns the Goose collected five hits. Since then he has hit twice in two games against the White Sox, nine times in four games games against the 'l‘ifl‘r;e and nua-: times in five games against Red Sox. Just before starting the streak, Goslin faced the left-handed Herb Pennock in New York and in four batting efforts I:l!}cduwdflvemewlthm‘hm el Bob Reeves made a spectacular stop and equally spectacular throw to nip Wally Gerber and end the game yester- day. Gerber slashed the ball almost over the second sack, but Bob dashed back for a great pick-up and while off- balance whipped the ball to Joe Judge well ahead of the batter. Judge made a nifty catch in the third inning, going far back and close to the foul line to Rothrock'’s low arching fly. The Red Sox had a runner on first at the time. Burke got an odd single in the eighth. He dribbled the ball down the first base line and beat it to the bag, as neither Todt nor Ruffing was able to make a play. Braxton has a very sore left wrist, the result of a blow from Harry Heil- mann's bounder in the eighth inning of the game at Detroitia week ago yesterday. The southpaw pitcher feared 2 bone in the wrist may be chipped and if the injury does not respond to Trainer Mike Martin's treatment within a day or two an X-ray will be made of the joint. When Nationals and Red Sox clash, games generally are played fast. Only | one of the five games of the recent series went beyond an hour and forty- six minutes. It was the big scoring second half of Tuesday's double-header. BIG LEAGUE LEADERS HITTERS. | Player. Club. G.AB.R. H.

Burleigh Grimes pitched at top speed throughout, with a 10-run lead in hand as early as the sec- ond, while Kolp, Edwards and Beck- man were being crushed under the Pirate avalanche. Cold weather, on the second day of Summer, forced the Robins and the Braves into idleness at Boston, while rain followed the Giants to Philadelphia. Rain also stepped in and saved one team or the other at the Yankee Stadium, where the Athletics were scheduled to appear. Perhaps it was all for the best. The American League now may be able to rig up another “crucial” series or two before the Yankees turn their 10-game lead into one twice that ig.

OLYMPIA FIELDS COUNTRY CLUB, MATTESON, Ill, June 23.—The stage was set today for another act in the stirring series of dramas enacted by the golfing barnstormers, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen, with George von Elm, Willie Leach of Philadelphia, Henry Ciuci of Stratford, Conn., and Willle MacFarlane of Westchester, N. Y. horning into the final act. Not for many years in the open golf championship have the prospects been so bright for a finish that will be sure to delight the fighting heart of Hagen and the equally courageous heart of Bobby Jones. The fleld was well bunched as the final 36 holes of the champjon- ship got under way, with Jones leading at 144, followed in turn by Von Elm and Leach at 146, Hagen tled with Wil- lie MacFarlane and Henry Ciuci at 127’. :;nd Craig Wood and Fred McLeod a 3 Sounds rather queer to hear Fred McLeod's name up there in the cham- plonship chase, with a chance to win. Pathetic too, in a , for Freddie hasn't figured very extensively in these tournaments since 1921, when he tied with Hagen for second place. But there he is today, in a tie for tenth place, where a pair of great rounds might win him the title he annexed at Myopia just 20 years ago. Armour Still Has Chance. ‘Tommy Armour is far from out of it, for he finished late yesterday with a half-way total of 151, seven shots back of Jones and four shots behind Hagen. He isn’t yet a dethroned champion, but he must produce today, or be an ex- title holder. Sandy Armour, brother of the open champion, is out, for Sandy added an 81 yesterday to his 80 of the previous day to miss qualifying for the final 36 holes of the championship by three shots. Scores above 158 did not get in, and that also eliminated J. Munro Hunter of Indian Spring, who scored a 79 yesterday to add to his 84 ‘of the previous day for a total of 163. Tommy, as the champion, has the favorite starting time today, getting un- der way at 10:35 for the 36-hole final, paired with MacDonald Smith. He plays in the afternoon at 2:30 with the same partner. McLeod plays at 10:40 and 2:40, with Al Espinosa. Bob Jones is paired with Gene Sarazen at the un- usually early hour of 9:15 and 1:15, while Hagen plays with Jack Burke at 9:50 and 1:50. Von Elm and Turness are paired at 9 and 1. Leo Dlesel had the roughest road yesterday, for Leo ran into & 9 on the fifteenth hole, where he became tangled up in the woods. That 9 may keep him out of the championship. Jones Is Erratic. Jones with his leading score of 144, naturally. was the finest player of the two rounds. But in all the years we have followed Jones we never have seen him miss so many shots, particularly tee shots, and make so many miracu- lous recoveries for pars and better. Bobby was not the flawless Jones of other years and other championships. He was a struggling Jones yesterday, working hard for his score, and only getting it because of his great iron play and equally great putting. Hagen was the real master of the day, for the Haig played grand golf, and had two bad breaks to get out in 40 when a 35 looked in prospect and then breezed back over the par-36 last nine in 32 strokes through a blinding rainstorm that broke over him on the eleventh hole, through which he holed a chip shot for a birdie 3 over a green that resemhled nothing less than a lake. Hagen has a round like that in every championship and yesterday was his day. He played perfect golf up to the seventh, where he was level fours. A tee shot played too close to the line found a bush at the seventh and he took a 6 at this par 4 hole. His iron was wide at the short eighth and he took a 4, leaving him a 4 on the ninth for 38, But he found a close lie in the middle of the fairway and topped the |bll:oi.lm) the ditch for 6 to get out n 40. Hagen Good in Rain. A 25-footer for a 8 stopped on the lip of the cug at the tenth and then he started. The rainstorm broke on the eleventh and for five minutes the rain fell so hard it was impossible to see 100 yards.- But Hagen played to the green 25 teet from the pin and holed a chip shot over the lake that was a putting green. He holed a 12-footer for a birdie 3 on the twelfth and sank a 10-footer for a birdie 2 on the short thirteenth. That left him 4 under fours and he made & great 4 on the fourteenth after slicing to the rough. He ran down a 25-footer through the water for a birdie 4 on the long fifteenth and then fin- ished in par figures, 3, 4, 5, for a 32. the finest nine of the tournament and the nine that put him back in the champlonship chase. Hagen is very anxious to add this title to his British open and will take the wraps off today. Jones missed a shot on each of the first three holes, but started with a birdie and two pars, followed by another birdie at the fourth. Playing sloppy golf but scoring beautifully, he came to the ninth with a 4 for 33, to miss a six-footer for the par and get out in 34 The last nine is the heavily wooded nine, and here Jones' hooked tee shots cost him strokes. Three 5s and a palr of 3s and the balance 4s put him back in 37 for a 71 to lead. Armour Has Trouble. Tommy Armour started with a birdle 4 and got & par 4 at the second. But his second shot ran down the hill at the left of the third green and after much fiddling around and sizing up the roll of the bank he holed out in 5. Two pushed iron shots at the short Alxfl'; and eighth cost him 4s on both these par 3 affairs. But Tom- my gained & new lease on life when he sank a 60-footer Yrom the lower edge of the green at the ninth for a birdie 3 to get out in 38. He took three putts on the tenth green, and a pair of 4s on the eleventh and twelfth, on the latter of which he sank a 20 ‘ooter after pushing his tee shot to the woods. He followed with a par 8 on the thirteenth, where his approach putt just brushed the lip of the cup, and got a grand 4 at the fourteenth, where the heavens broke loose and a 50-mile windstorm raged through the trees, driving the raln before it. ‘The long fifteenth was played into the teeth of the wind and rain, and here Tumn:’v took 3 putts, replacing his ball around the casual water on the putting green. Compston, his partner, |did the same, emitting [} “ho-ho" tas he found he did have to putt | through the water, Tommy finished with {wo pars and a birdie 4. playing A great wooden club shot to the elght~ { centh green to get his birdle, | McLeod Is Lucky.

He had previously, however, holed a 12-footer for a deuce at the short sixth, and had holed a 15-footer for a birdie 3 at the seventh. Freddie then ?luyed flawles golf for the next four holes, scoring them all in par, chipping dead on the thirteenth from a yard off the green. He took a 5 at the fourteenth and finished the nine in par figures for a 37 and a 76. Certainly it must be gratifylng to Freddie’s host of friends in the Capital to see him so well up in the chase for the title. There isn't any doubt about the way his friends here feel, for all afternoon after he had finished his | round ' Freddie did scarcely anything| but shake congratulatory hands. McCarthy Is Wild. Maurice J. McCarthy of Washington, | playing with Hagen, was wild as the wind. Bob Harlow said he hit every- | & thing but the clubhouse. McCarth, withdrew at the tenth hole, after xet! ting out in 41. Sandy Armour started wih a discouraging 7 on the first hole, and although bothered considerably by | the Jones gallery, got out in 42, He came back in 40, with a pair of sixes, but his score of 161 was three shots too high. Munroe Hunter did better yes- terday, but he needed a 74 to qualify.

He took four putts o‘x’z thel eleventh green and missed two short ones thereafter, finishing with a buz- zard 6 on the last hole, where he top- ped his second into a ditch. Von Elm Real Threat.

Only recently located in the insurance busi- ness in Detroit and freed of the busi- ness worries which attended him in Los Angeles, Von Elm is very apt to cut a figure as the champlonship draws to its close today.
