And the Pittsburgher meant Spencer. Went Right After Spencer. Spencer traveled back and forth be- tween Pittsburgh and Indianapolis of the American Association s2veral times, doing little receiving for the Pirates and plenty for the minor leaguers. He was the best Indianapolis had. This shifting of Spencer at last attracted Landis’ attention and the bese ball commissioner decided it was being done solely to kep Roy under cover for the Pirates, who own the Indianapolis out- fit. So, along dwith many others last Spring, Spencer was lifted from Indian- apolis by the commissioner and de- clared free to make a place for himself. At the time he was made a free agent Spencer was with the Indian- apolis club in training at Sarasota, Fla., mnot very far from the Nationals' train- ing camp at Florida. President Clark Griffith lost no time in motoring to the Indianapolis base to make Spencer an offer. Griffith saw Spencer on a Sun- day, and the fcllowing day the free lance came to terms with the Washing- ton club. Now, after he has been on the pay roll more than two months, the ington club intends to make some | ze of the catcher. My Nationals, 2lso is to be used in the series with the Red Sox, Johnson says, and as a starting pitcher, too. Thomas, who came to Washington from the Yankees by the waiver route only last Saturday, was held only good enough for relief roles by the New Yorkers this year, but Johnson thinks he may make a better starter than some of the other slabmen now essaying that role for the Nationals. © Johnson has not picked ‘Thomas’ starting game as yet. The new ‘member of the mound corps may go to- morrow or in one of the games of Sat- | urday's double bill. 1 Thomas a “Collegian.” Thomas is a college-bred athlete, | graduating from Penn State in 1921 He was signed by Reading of the Inter- | national League and in 1912 won but | two games and lost eight. The next| three years he pitched for Toronto of the same circuit. In 1923 he won 13 games and lost 15, and in 1924 he won | 16 and lest He had a fine season | in 1925, however, winning 28 games | and losing but 8. | This so impressed the Yankees that he was grabbed from the International League, and in the American League | in 1926 he won six and lost six games. | In 1927 he pitched to seven victorics | and four defeats, and last year was credited with one victory only. As a relief hurler this season, he lost two games for the New Yorkers. Johnson, though, thinks the change of clubs will prove beneficial to Thomas and looks for him t go well as a starter. No others of the Nationals are con- templating_requesting “rests,” as did Garland Braxton yesterday, Johnson says, although some seem to need them, Braxton was so depresed by his poor showing lately that he was almost a nervous wreek after being driven from the hill by the Athletics when he tried to check themfl in Tuesday's game, and Johnson gladly recommended that | President Griffith grant the pitcher’s | Tequest for a week’s vacation without | pay that he might go to his North Carolina home to Tecuperate. The | manager believes Braxton will be helped greatly by the lay-off. | OLYMPIC MAT CHAMP BREAKS BONE IN NECK| URBANA.

HE National League riot struck a new high note of tumult yester- day and when all the debris | had been cleared away the un- ruly Cubs were found clinging to the top perch by the margin of their fingernails. The men of McCarthy | slammed the Cardinals generously by scores of 7 to 3 and 11 to 3, running | their string over the champions to three | straight. The pirates staved off two | Cincinnati rallies to win by 6 to 5, | and, in company with the Cubs, stepped | to & position one game ahead of the Cardinals, erstwhile leaders. The Bw=g and the Buccaneers joined | hands gally in one of those ‘“virtual tles,” but the Chicago entry stood five percentage points forward through the | time-honored process of having lost | fewer games. The Giants, meanwhile. | s0 reducing the margin between them- | selves and all the other contenders save | the Cubs. The Clan McGraw remained three and one-half games behind the Little Bears, but with the important difference that the Little Bears had stepped into first place as relates Both of the Chicago victories over the champions of the league were scored more or less by brute strength, but the pitching of Pat Malone in the opener and of Guy Bush in the nightcap was much better (han certain recent efforts | ° by Chicago hurlers. Backed by 21 hits, | it was, as a matter of fact, much better | | than was necessary. Willie Sherdel and | | Bill Hallahan were the victims in the | first game and Sylvester Johnson and | Fred Frankhouse in the second, the first named in each instance being the offi- | clal loser. Two Home Runs Hit. Hack Wilson celebrated with his fnur- teenth home run in the opener; Jim | Bottomley with his thirteenth in the nightcap. Steve Swetonic seemed not to know | what to do with a six-run lead in Cin- cinnati yesterday, and to save himself from heart failure, Donie Bush rushed Carmen Hill to the mound in time to shade the Reds at the finish. Jack Hendricks offered an assortment of pitchers, starting with Rixey and run- ‘ nE ning through Luque, Ash and Ehrhardt. The Glants won two games from the Phillies, as reported, but the New York- | ers were in serious difficulties through | most of the 11-inning opener before finally pulHnl it out by the back-lot | score of 15 to 14. Nine pitchers, real| or accused, stepped into the line of fire, which_totaled 20 hits for the Phillles | and 18 for the Giants. Melvin Ott hit his sixteenth and seventeenth home | runs, and Chuck Klein of the home team_ his eighteenth, which tied anyr | for the league lead. The Giants won the second game by 12 to 6. | Braves Twice Victors. ‘The Boston Braves won a pair from the Brooklyns by 8 to 4 and 9 to 0. ‘The most important action along the American League front was the return of Babe Ruth to active campaigning at | the Yankee Stadium and Lou Oehrlzs nineteenth home run at the same closure.
