SPORTS THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929 ° Griffs Drill to Overcome Weakness in Bunting : Hugmen Boost Lead Over Macks BRAXTON IN FOURTH VITORY OF SEASON Nats Win Two in Row for First Time This Year as Chisox Fall, 4-2. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HICAGO, May 10. — Having splurged to the extent of two victories, their longest winning streak of the year. since their line-up was revised, the Na- tionals were beginning to think the were really good again, but Acting Manager Clyde Milan took some of the puff out of their sails when he an- nounced that beginning today a bunt- ing class would be organized. To datc the Washington base ball artists have been pitifully poor at this form of of- fense, but they will show some improve- ment in bunting if Milan has his way. In the 17 games which the Nationa had participated in up to today, they attempted to advance runners by sac- rificial bunts 17 times and succeeded | only 6 times. These sacrificial attempts | were bunts actually put down. Most of them, however. were such poor bunts that the ball went to a fielder so fast that the runner had no chance at all to advance. This Milan hopes to change with | his_bunting school. Hereafter at the | daily_batting drills each of the Na- | tionals going up to the plate to swing | will be expected to try at least two | bunts after taking his ihree healthiest | at the deliveries. This schooling will bring about a vast improvement in bunting ability within a short time,: Milan believes, and enable the Nationals to take much more advantage of their speed.

Results of Other Games, GAMES TODAY. The club resorted to the bunt twice in yesterday's tilt that opened the serles of three with the White Sox here and once was successful. Gar- land Braxton was unable to put down a bunt that would advance a man a base, but Muddy Ruel did put one down that brought home a runner from third. | To date Ruel has been the best bunter among the Nationals, but one bunter on a team is not enough. According to Milan, every man in the line-up ought to have the knack of making the deli- cate tap. Fo Several clubs the Nationals have played have profited greatly through the bunt. The sacrifice is becoming pop- ular again, and if the Washington club is to keep pace with most of its rivals it must resort to the bunt as well as to | the hit-and-run style of attack. 1t seemed for a time yesterday that a | sacrificial bunt might prove the undoing | of the Nationals. So baffling were the | left-handed slants of Bob Wieland and such good use did the White Sox make of the little hitting they did at Garland Braxton's expense that the end of the sixth round found the Sox leading, 2 10| 1. And a sacrifice behind a pass played an important part in the making of the run that put the White Sox ahead. But Bob Wieland lost his cunning | after the sixth, while Braxton pitched steadily to the finish and the Nationals | triumphed, 4 to 2. They got six hits and five passes cff Wieland before he gave way to Dan Dugan, another south- paw, in the seventh. Dugan was nicked for & seventh safety in the eighth, then George Connally hurled a hitless ninth. Poor Throws Are Costly. Braxton silenced the White Sox with | but four hits and two passes and two of the hits were not made until the ninth inning. Poor throws as much as any- thing else accounted for the White Sox scoring. One was a hectic heave to the plate by Goose Goslin and the other a | eedless throw to first base by Joe Cro- | nin. Goslin's throw came in the fourth in- | ming, which Johnny Mostil had opened | with a double. Alex Metzler's infleld retirement moved Mostil to third. Then | ‘Willie Kamm drove a liner to Goslin. A | bounding throw by the Goose fimmbly would have nipped Mostil eas- ly at the plate, but the left fielder put s0 much in his throw that the sphere came in high and Ruel, forced to leap | for a catch, had no chance to tag the | sliding Chicago player. | Cronin’s throw came after two were | out in the fifth frame. Carl Reynolds | was on second by virtue of a walk and Jack Kerr's sacrifice. Bill Cissell popped to Charley Gooch, but Moe Berg sent a bounder to deep short. | Cronin did well to get the ball, and had no chance to flag his man at first. | He persisted in throwing, however. The ball went high and Gooch had to leap | for it. Berg, crossing the sack well | ahead of the throw, ran headlong into | Gooch and spilled him. Charley man- | aged to knock down the ball, but could | not regain his feet and the ball in time to get Reynelds at the plate. Had Cronin not thrown Reynolds would have | had to stop at third, and as it turned | out he would have remained there, for Wieland ended the inning by popping | to Myer, Griffs Start in Sixth. ‘The Nationals first got to Wieland in the sixth. Then Goslin singled and so did Gooch. The second hit went through Metzler and the Goose scored from first. | Singles by Ruel, Myer and Rice and s balk by Wieland accounted for two runs in the seventh. Rice’s single sent Ruel home and Myer to third. Then Myer and Rice attempted a double | steal, and Wieland balked when he swung to throw to second after he had actually begun a pitch to Gooch. It was Cronin’s triple off Dugan and Ruel's bunt in the eighth that put over the fourth run. Myer was slammed on the right elbow by one of Dugan’s pitches in the eighth and had to retire.

Reynolds got the ball, but he also fell with the catch. Then in the eighth Joe slammed the sphere over Mostil's head for a triple. Kamm kept a hit from Bluege with a whale of a catch in the seventh.

Minotaur, called the “glorified selling platter,” fin- ished only a scant length behind the Salmon colt. A year ago Charles Graf- fagnini gave $2.500 for Minotaur, grab- bing him out of a claiming race in New York. He won $25,000 during the year and yesterday, preceding the race, be- came the property of John R. Thomp- son of Chicago for a reputed price of $45,000. From 159 nominations for the Derby the field has dwindled to where the starters may be picked from a list of less than 30. Twenty-two horses, the largest number in the history of Amer- | ica’s turf classic, went to the post last year, and it is doubtful if the field will be any larger this year. Failure of Earl Sande’s Hermitage to show anything in the Preakness prac- tically made sure that the little owner- trainer rider would not send a horse to the post. Whether the Rancocas Stable of Harry F. Sinclair will go after its second Derby victory depends on the decision of Sum Hildreth regarding the condition of Simba, which has not been out this season. Leucite and Mei Foo, the other two Rancocas eligibles, have failed to show Derby class in their Taces to date. i Probable Derby Starters. ‘The probable Derby starters with their owners: Horses.
