BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND. May 4.-Starting their initial invasion ‘of the West this year, the Nationals took their third successive jolt | on their collective chins, the | Indians usinz Walter Johnson's charges | to break a five-game losing streak with a 4-t0-3 triumph Again the Washington bunch outhit its opponents. getting nine safeties to its opponent’s five. The left-handed Joe Shaute, pitching for the Tribe. also hit. a batter and kicked in with a wild pitch. while Cleveland had four errors charged against it. But. as usual, the Nationals lacked the punch in the pinch. Irving Hadley opened fire for Wash- ington and in addition to the five hits gave two passes and hit a batter. One error was made behind him, however. and that paved the way to his defeat after he had gone great guns for four innings. The error, a wild throw by | Joe Cronin, started the Indians on their way in the fifth and before they | quieted they had gotten three runs with | the error, a_hit batter, a base on balls | and a double by Charley Jamieson to | wrest the lead from Johnson's crew. Marberry Stops 'Em. ! Hadley remained in the game to give the Tribe another marker in the seventh by yielding two hits and a pass. Here Fred Marberry assumed the pitching | role and stopped the home boys cold. | The Nationals threatened to chase | Shaute in the ninth, but all they ac- complished was the scoring of one run. Rice's rather scratchy double was all | the Nationals got off Shaute in the first two frames. but they broke into the run column in the third. They got but one tallv. however. from three hits and a Tribal error that were made in succession. With one gone, Hadley singled and Myer did likewise. Bump, who had | checked in at second on Buddy's blow, | scored as Rice whipped a one-baser to | Jeft. Myer pulled up at the middle sta- | tion and when Shaute neglected to tag the bag after taking a throw from Fonseca, who had scooped up Goslin's | grounder, the sacks were jammed. This | did the Nationals no good, for Judge rammed a bounder to the pitcher and | the slab-to-plate-to-first double play followed in snappy manner. Another National marker was regis- tered in the fourth session. This West | ned by pounding a two-bagger off the ht field screen. Following Cronin’s | liner to Falk. a sharp one-baser by Hayes sent West. to the plate. Hayes was ed when he tried to steal and _Ruel, who got a life when the Tribe shortfielder fumbled, languished on the Tunway as Hadley sent a feeble roller to the second baseman. Tribe Goes to Front. Jamieson’s walk at the outset of the . Indians' first batting turn and Luke Sewell's single that opened the Tribal | third meant nothing to the home club, but they forged ahead in the fifth when Hadley had a wild streak. A hectic chuck Cronin made after picking up Falk’s hot shot started the round poorly for Hadley. Falk checked in at first on the error and watched Rice spear Fonseca’s liner. Then Myatt grabbed Gardner's bat and Hadley, after etting two strikes against the pinch| atter, proceeded to pink the Indian on| the lég. Bump also got two strikes against Luke Sewell. but he threw the| ball all around the plate while doing so and finally filled the sacks with a walk With the Washington infield playing ®ack and hoping for a double-play chance, Shaute sent a slow one to Hayes. and only the batter could be retired, while Falk counted. Along came Jamieson and he, too, took two strikes. Then he dropped a double close to the line in left and two more runs crcssed. Fach side had a runner on in the sixth. Tavener made a two-base wild heave after picking up Cronin’s ground- er in the National's half, and a wild pitch moved Joe to third, but two were out and Hayes whiffed, swinging at a wide one for the last strike. Averill started the Indians’ half with a single, only to be forced out by Joe Sewell. | The next two Indians were easy for| Hadley. Two More Hits Wasted. Myer and Rice singled in succession | ir. the Washington seventh, but again two were out. and Averill backed against | the center-field wall for Goslin's liner. The Indians. however, checked in! with another marker in the seventh.| Tavener began the attack with a one- | baser. Luke Sewell skied to West, then | Shaute strolled. The hard-hitting Jamieson caromed a single off Hayes’ hands to right and Tavener tallied while Shaute took third. This finished Had- ley's day. Marberry came on to fan| Lind. while Averill grounded harmiessly to Hayes A flare-up in the ninth left the Na- tionals one shy of a tie.

May 4.—Three home runs by Lou Gehrig saved the Yankees here | today as the Hugmen shaded the White ! Sox by 11 10 9 in the first East-West game of the Chicago season. The three blows ran Gehrig’s total for the season Ito six, the best mark in either leaguc Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel sand- | wiched circuit drives about Gehrig's second blow in the nth, giving the Yanks three in succession. The big seventh inning rally for four runs provided the Yankees with their winning margin. McKain and Dugan were in the box. Gehrig rapped Red | Faber for his first homer in the second McKain for his second in the seven'h |and Dugan for his third in the ninth ‘Grhrlz also got a single and a pass for & perfect day at bat. Ruth's home run was his third of the season. chrig’s three homers tied both the | American and the modern major | league records, but fell one short of the all-time ma’or mark shared by Ed Dele- hanty and Bobby Lowe. The three suc- cessive Yankee homers in the seventh also tied the American League record but fell one short of a mark made by the Pirates in the mid-nineties. i Waite Hoyt was knocked out of the box for the first time this season, but | Wiley Moore did very well in the re- | lief role.

So Ed, sensing a chance to pick up a good plece of change by selling his services, asked that he be made & free agent by the commissioner. ~ Judge | Landis now has the T visement, and very likely sought from Griffith the “inside” of the Washington- | Birmingham deal involving Wells. For a time the Nationals will have to do without Al Schacht's services on the third base coaching line. The genial member of the Washington clud | is suffering with an illness that has been diagnosed by several physicians as coliti, but other doctors think it may | be a different intestinal disorder, so Al is leaving tonight for his home in New York to undergo a thorough examina- tion by specialists in that city. He is not to return to the Nationals until he has been relieved of the ailment. Al is sorry to leave the club even temporarily, but not so sorry as the other members are because of his departure. He's a cheerful soul always and has kept up the spirit of the club wonderfully dur- ing this early season slump. After looking over all the Eastern rivals of his club, Manager Waltes | Johnson figures the Athletics rather than the Yankees must be licked if the Nationals are to get anywhere in the |flag chase. Contrary to pre-season | rating, the Philadelphis outfit is an up- and-going one these days, as the Wash- | ington pilot sees it, while the New York aggregation is anything but the cham- pionship affair it was last season. | _And Johnson's figuring seems sound. | The A's, off to a fine start, apparently have everything needed to make them a club difficult to beat, whereas the Yanks do not appear as good defensive- |1y in the box, behind the bat or in the infield as they were last season. Connie Mack's club has hit like a pile-driver since the bell rang. Long hits have rattled off the A's bats so frequently that opponents time and again have exhausted their pitehing resources in_effol to check the bom- bardment. The A's have been good on | defense and they have played smart base ball, too. | A's Have Edge in Box. ‘B': the Associated Press. Above all, Connie Mack seems to! DETROIT.

YSWEET, COAST SPRINTER, TRAVELS “100” IN 9 2-5 SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 (P.— The world record mark for the 100- yard dash was bettered by 1-5 of a second here today in the Pacific As- sociation track and field champion- hips at Kezar Stadium, when Rus- sell Sweet of the Olympic Club, San Francisco, ran the distance in 9 2-5 seconds. The mark probabiy will not be allowed as a new record, however, as Sweet had a strong wind at his back. Another world mark was broken by Gloria Russell of the Northern C: fornia Athletic Club in the girl base bail throw with a toss of 262 feet 11 inches. The former record was 252 feet 4 inches, held by Vivian Hartwick of the same club. Miss Hartwick took second today with a toss of 254 feet 3 inches. This also bettered the old record but it is doubtful if either will be accepted as they were aided by the wind. Athletes from the Olympic Club. won team honors in the champion- ships with a total of 80 points. Stanford iversity placed second with 72 points while the University of California was third with 19.
