ITH 11 games to be played in 8 days, starting today. it looks as | though Manager Walter Johnson will have to press into service all | the hurling material at his command. Now that the mound staff | is reduced to eight by the temporary loss of the brilliant recruit. Adolph Liska, who yesterday suffered a severe ankle sprain, Scotty Campbell and Paul Hopkins, ~hitherto held useful only for batting-practice pitching, are apt to toil during the string of battles with the Athletics and the | Yankees as well as Bob Burke and Lioyd Brown, southpaws, who several times | have endeavored to prove their worth in championship contests. Neither Campbell nor Hopkins has been considered capable enough for frequent service in the flag struggling. In fact, each has been in but one | game since the campaign opened and each time it was the Athletics who were | faced. Campbell was sent into the game plaved here on April 18. He started | the eighth inning, but did not go far. Right off the reel he walked Jimmy Foxx. Then he was found for a single by Bing Miller and walked Jimmy Dykes. That brought Burke to Campbell's rescue. Hopkins did much better when he tackled the A's at Philadelphia on April 24. Sammy Hale, first to face Paul in the eighth, fouled out. Foxx got a double, but never left second base for both Miller and Dykes lofted to the outfield. Then Hopkins gave way to a pinch batter. o Little to Be Expected of Second-Stringers, Burke at times has appeared to advantage as a pinch pitcher and in his | one start of the season at Chicago last Sunday he looked very good against the White Sox for seven innings. But pitching against the White Sox is not pitching against the Athletics or Yankees. Brown has been employed only for relief_work and but once has he done well. The records of- these young hutlers indicate that the Nationals will be fortunate indeed if they get any good results from them in the set-tos with the strong Eastern rivals. Yet they must be used. It is unreasonable to expect Sam Jones, Garland Braxton, Irving Hadley and Fred Marberry to carry the full bur- den of pitching in the 11 games to be played in 8 days.” Physically impossible, | it seems. Liska's loss is an exceptionally severe one right at this time. With a fifth | regular-turn slabman available, the Nationals would be well prepared for the desperate days at hand. And Liska had promised to be just the hurler needed. Although he has more losses than wins in his record, his pitching has been nf‘} Thigh order in the main.

Curb on By-play in Drills May Be Needed. It might be wel! for the Nationals if the younger players were permitted to indulge only in drills to which they are assigned instead of doing about as ihey please most of the time during pre-game practice. The veterans are cautious in their work, but the youngsters, naturally more exuberant, generally dash into any bit of by-play that may start. It was this youthful tendency that brought about Liska's injury yesterday. The recruit joined a “pepper game” that was in progress early in the prac- tice. He stationed himseif on the field in front of the grandstand screen prepared | to bend for grounders, leap for liners, lunge at bad bounds or do anything in a fielding way. Right off the bat, he was struck in the middle by a fast bounding ball and a bit later he had a finger bruised by a liner. Then a high one came his way and he leaped for a stab at the ball. He came down in the cement gutter at the base of the grandstand wall and the left ankle sprain resulted. How serious the injury may be will not be fully determined until today when the swelling probably will be reduced sufficiently to permit a more thorough ex- amination of the ankle than could be made yesterday. However, there is little chance of Liska getting into action before a week goes by at least and that is (@A per.

Grove’s Strike-Out Pitching Baffles Griffmen, Licked 4-1 ALTER JOHNSON, after an absence of nearly two weeks, due to illness, resumed ac. tive management of his club and the Nationals took the field with their regular line-up for the first time in nearly a week, but even these two occurrences yesterday failed to victory to the Washington side. It was Robert Moses Grove, southpaw slabman extraordinary, who blasted the Nationals’ hopes of getting a good start in this important series with the Ath- lectics. 'The lanky left-hander, al- though free with passes and more gen- erous with his mound rivals in yield- ing hits, always was there in pinches —and there were several of them—so the A's grabbed the opener, 4 to 1. Grove generally managed to pitch strike-out ball—he struck out nine— when it was needed. ‘Thirteen runners stranded on the bases just about tells the story of the Washington defeat. The Nationals were handed six free tickets to first base by Robert Moses and got seven safeties off him. But until the last inning they failed to get anywhere and then they dented the plate more through luck than nnytmn!nehe. For eight innings the game was a brilliant pitching duel between Irving Hadley and Grove. Over this stretch, the Nationals got all their passes and five hits off the Athletics’ southpaw while the visitors got but three hits and as many passes off the chunky Lynn chucker. It was a pass, however, that paved the way to the first Mackian run and it ‘was none other than Grove who was the reciplent of Hadley's favor. Grove walked at the outset of the third inning and he moved to second as Max Bishop was thrown out. Then George Haas got a fluky hit. Trying to sacrifice, Haas popped the ball toward the shortfield, but so far from the plate that Muddy Ruel had no chance for a play. Rue! went after the ball, but just tipped it with his glove and it fell for a single that put Grove on third. As Mickey Cochrane forced out Haas, the run crossed. ‘The Nationals threatened several times to send Grove to the shower, but never mi good with their threats. ‘They had runners at third and second with one out in the opening round, but Ossie Bluege picked this time to let & third strike go by, and after Joe Judge's stroll filled the sacks, Joe Oronin fanned. Runners were on first and second with one out in the second round, but Buddy Myer forced out one man and Sam Rice whiffed. Again in the fourth Nationals were on first and second with one out and they worked & dual theft as Myer took a third strike. A pass to Rice crowded the cushions, but Goose Goslin fanned. In the sixth, with Ruel at third and two out, Myer whiffed. It was in the eighth that the Na- tionais threw all they had into the fray in a desperate effort to tie at least. Judge walked, only to be forced out by Cronin, but Ruel doubled Cronin to the far corner. Charley Gooch went in to bat for the left-hand swinging Sam ‘West and all Charley could do was foul to the catcher. Here Stuffy Stewart ANOTHER CLOSE ONE A ] 2] ] PHILADELPHIA. Bishop, 2b...........

And Gharrity left two potential tallies on the runway by fanning vigorously. That brought Fred Marberry in to pitch the ninth. Fred filled the bases by passing two batters and hitting an- other. Then came singles by Grove and Bishop and a walk to Cochrane to give the Mackmen 3 more markers. Myer started the Nationals toward their run by opening the ninth with a single. Buddy took second unmol- ested and went to third as Goslin be- came the second out of the round. When Bluege popped toward the pitch- er's box it looked as though the game was over, but as his mates sidestepped the ball Cochrane rushed to the siab just too late to grasp Ossie's hoist firm- ly. The sphere went to the turf for a scratchy single that tallled Myer.

NON-COMBATANT writes in to ask if it is definitely decided that the winner of the Paulino- Schmeling contest will be matched with Jack Sharkey and that the winner of the final affair will be declared the new heavyweight champion. The winner of the Paulino-Schmeling match will undoubtedly be matched with Sharkey in September, but no heavyweight champlonship could ever be awarded for the type of tea party that Sharkey and 'Stribling, for ex- ample, put on at Miami Beach. It would be a joke if the next man to be named champion wasn't forced to earn his title by proving his class with a knockout. It might be argued that Tunney failed to knock out Dempsey, but in the first place, those two bouts were 10- round affairs, and in the second place, Dempsey was the official heavyweight champion. And in both events he was badly beaten up. If a Sharkey-Schmeling or a Sharkey- Paulino match later on in the Summer failed to produce a knockout, or at least a decisive result, where one man was badly outclassed, it would be much better to let the title slip along until some one arrived who could prove his class. 1f Schmeling, Paulino or Sharkey are unable to prove any exceptional class this Summer, they might as well be sidetracked and let some one else have a shot at the top. The Rise and Fall of a Champion. Y Dear Rice: The other night I witnessed the saddest spectacle it has ever been my misfortunte to see in sports—thé ghost of Paul Berlenbach scuffling into the ring to wallow around with one of the trained elephants. Memories flashed of Berley opening the new Garden with Delaney; alive, eager, healthy in body and mind, Delaney and Berley at Brooklyn—the ‘Stribling mas- sacre—and all the others that you probably witnessed also. Then before a crowd of less than 300 “razz" berry artists, in a little dump on the firs floor of a business block—and Berlen- bach—I won't say it. Why—because he was willing to fight—willing to give the fans their money's worth and disdaincd the antics of the various waltzing “un- crowned” champions who are too well known to mention. The cynics may sneer that it is no one’s fault but his own—but still there is something that touches the heait. Where is the justice? Do you know? It's my first peek at this side of box- ing. 1'd like to hear any comments you have to make along these lines. One of your tributes to Berley in the Sportlight would certainly not be amiss now or any other time, . ROGER L. TREAT. ERLENBACH'S dath to fame was one of the most sensational turns in sport.

Why he should have to face the type of sportjng party referred to after all the money he made in a short while is an other mystery. OMETHING in Berlenbach snapped and his drop from a great cham- plon to a ghost of what he had been took place in an incredibly brief whirl of time—all within a few months. The greatest fight that he ever fought was his second meeting with Jack De- laney, the night they opened the new Garden.

Fernandez fought back courageously in the face of foul tactics, and when the third round was tapped on the gong he registered a bull's-eye by crossing his right on the point of the local pride’s jaw and the festivities were over.
