NATS TO TOUR THE WEST AFTER VISIT TO PHILLY . Sam Jones® Injured Side Shift Back to Lead-of Fails to Show Improve— ff Position Helpful to Judge—Hayes Champion Bench Rooter. BY JOON B. KELLER. OSTON, June 20.—Routed by Red Sox in the thre: ceries here the mnot-s Nationals steamed out of t tonight howeward bound, b not o happy. It was bad enough to lose a series to the Red Sox, but contemplation of what they are about to run into only 2dds to their woe. Four games in a row with Connie Mack's league-leading Athletics, one in Washington Sunday and the others in Philadelphia, are ahead, so there is good reason for the gloom in the Johnson clan. The prospect of encountering the Athletics cannot be expected to cheer the Nationals—or any other bunch in the circuit, for that matter—these days. ut Fourteen times this season have the | Nationals stood before the Philadelphia steam roller and thirteen times have they been flattened. Only in their third encounter with it were Sir Walter's charges able to throw the Mackian juggernaut into reverse. So the next four days are nothing pleasant for the Nationals to think about. ‘Manager Jehnson had not definitely decided tonight who he would send to the hill for the Sunday engagement in Grifith Stadium. He thought he might try PFred Marberry: then again he thought he might try Lloyd Brown. Maybe he’ll try both, and some more. And again, he might follow the Harris plan of last season and resort to draw- ing names from a hat. This year, the Athletics don’t seem to care what Washington pitchers they face. Following their Sunday tussle in Washington, the Nationais will show their wares on foreign flelds for mosa than three weeks. After disposing of the three-game sct in Philadelphia, be- ginning Monday, they will play & double-header with the Yankees in New York on Independence day, then journey to the West, where each of the | four clubs of that sector will be met in a four-game series. Sed Sam Jones is sadder these day The veteran pitcher, who pulled a muscle in his side or back—even Jones does not seem to know where—shortly after the Nationals returned from their Western tour in May and who has been of no use to his club since, notices no improvement in his condition and fears he may have to idle weeks more. Jones has had two relapses since he first hurt himself, and these naturally have set him back considerably. When he was hurt during a game against the Yankees in New York about the middle of May, it was thought a week or two the hill to throw to batters. Once more | he found the hurt had not healed, and he was sent to his home in Ohio for a rest d treatment by a surgeon there. Back with the club now for more than | a week, Jones is unable to do any | | throwing, and the pain in his side still is so intense that he fears to exercise his pitching arm even mildly. | The only work that Jones is doing at present is for the benefit of his legs | and wind. He hopes to keep in good | | general physical trim that he may get | to the pitching £lab again as soon as he | can use his arm freel | Shifted to the lead-off position in the | batting order, Joe Judge now is showing | much improvement at bat: he has hit | well above .300 in the dozen engage- | ments in which he has been at the head | of the list, and has been better on the bases, too. It 'was some seasons ago that Joe | thought he could bat in no other place | than_lead-off, but he became such a | sturdy sticker that he wes placed lower in the list and still socked the ball well. Back there again, and probably for some time, too, he seems perfectly at home. Being a bench warmer takes nothing from Jack Hayes' spirit. The slender Alabaman realizes he needs a “time cut” every once in & while to store up the energy he expends so freely when he is playing, and he never loses inter- | est because hs is out of the action. | "No fan is a more enthusiastic rooter than Jack. He's squirming from one | end of the bench to the other in his ex- citement when the Nationals are afield, | and when they are on the offensive he's | about the noisiest of the lot watching the battling from the dugout steps. | Several times Hayes has been warned | by the umpires to soften his rooting for the club, but, as he never is offensive | in his exhortations, nothing more than | warnings come his way. And Hayes always is ready to step | into the fray when needed, too. Minor | hurts make no alibis for him. His is a splendid spirit that has him giving to his c‘)uh everything he has, whether he is in the struggie or merely watching it. He's | a fine type of ball player. It has been voted that Wally Gerber | is the best utility infielder with the Red | Sox, so Grant Gillis, who was among | the ‘five_who went from the Nationals | to the Boston club last Winter in ex- | change for Buddy Myer, has been sent | to the Columbus club under option by the Hub management. Grant had his moments, but his play was too un- certain to satisfy. And he failed to shine as a hitter with the Red Sox. Gillis still has a chance to make good, LURUE AND LUCAS NCINNATI PITCHE RS ELL AND HUBBELL BLUE Aw BLUEGE BERRY a0 DERERR!

The fiery Cuban is now in his twelfth straight season with the Reds, and he will be 38 years old next August. Six years ago he led his league in pitching, with a fine eammed run average of 193, and & won and lost percentage of .771, complled from 27 victories and 8 de- feats. He pltched five innings in two games in the 1919 world serles, but didn’'t do much. Ever since his big year in 1923 he has only been fairly successful. Do you think he’s through, or do you think he needs & change of scenery? I bet that Bucky ;;ix”m could make a winner out of Luque and Lucas aren’t the only names in base ball that are phoneti- cally alike (now, no dirty cracks about base ball players being phoney), as the list in the accomp- anying cartoon will show. But Luque and Lucas are the only two “bits of alliteration” that I could find who are bracketed on the seme team. Ruth and Ruether were good for & cartoon once, when “Dutch” pitched for the Yankees in 1926, and es- pecially since the Babe, a great hit- ter, was formerly a fine pitcher, hile Ruether, a great pitcher, was also a fine batter. But Ruether has passed along from the majors now, so we'll_confine this discourse to the two Red pitchers, . Adolf Luque is not one of the 12 apostles; he is a Cuban who can throw a base ball as well as Lind- bergh can throw a dirty look at a reporter. With “Red” Lucas, Jakie May and Pete Donohue, he makes up the big four of the Cincinnati Reds’ pitching staff, which. no matter how you look at it, hasn't been much of im.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. Pirates are batting happily on thefr way and, incidentally, helping the Pirates toward a pennant, There may be a slip between now and the end of September. At the moment, the star of Donie Bush is in the ascendant and Donle's smile is wide despite Friday’s setback at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds. This Spring, Bush wasn't quite sure how his outfield would come out. Paul Waner hadn't signed, nor had Lloyd, although there was no doubt that both would join in time. T suppose both of them will be with u Donle reflected at Peso Robles, Calif., “but I shall have to get along the best I can until they are here, and there is left field to be filled after they arrive.” “Simply by way of Comorosky in left fleld. “I've tried him. He hits for any- body except for us.” 8o the season began with Grantham in left field. Grantham demonstrated that he wasn't in the right place. Ex- perimentation went on and in time, Comorosky went to left fleld. Since he has been there, the Pirates have vrog- ressed. Comorosky is now hitting heavily. Grantham was taken out of left field. Now he is at second base. It has been held that he is not a good second base- man. Yet the Pirates won with him when he was playing second. Bush started the season with Sparky Adams at second base. Tried Dick Bartell, switched here and there and at last fell back on Grantham. Gran- tham batted .323 in 1928. He is going good now and will go better. ‘_suneuuon, put ROBINS GIVE BRAVES TWIN-BILL DRUBBING By the Assoclated Press. BROOKLYN, N. Y.

Instead of picking up some ground at the expense of the tail - enders, ‘Walter Johnson's hapless crew dropped the entire series of three games. The Red Sox grabbed today's wind-up by the score of 5 to 2. It was the first time in moons Carrigan's outfit had swept a set with a league rival. Adding insult to injury, the Red Sox beat the Nationals with Charley Ruffing in the box. Eofore today’'s game® Ruf- fing's record for the season was 2 victories against 13 losses. But he found soft pickings in this afternoon’s pastiming, holding the Nationals to six safeties, two of which were not made until the ninth inning, and a brace of ‘Twice the Nationals were in the lead. They staked themselves to a run in the first frame and got another in the sec- ond to go ahead of the Red Sox again. After that they got nothing more ofl %\lmng than two pas:es and three sin- gles. Duel of Boxmen at Start. For a time the game was a mound duel between the left-handed Burke and Boston’s,husky right-hander. Bob went through the sixth session before going out in favor of pinch batter and in his terms yielded four hits and two walks. Bob was a run back, however, when he departed, as a result of a wild chuck by Benny Tate that let the third Red Sox tally be registered in the third round. Garland Braxton, who hurled two rounds against the Boston bunch, looked no better than in his last previous ap- pearance against the Athletics in Wash- ington on June 18. The first man to face him in the seventh slammed a two bagger, but Garland managed to get out of the inning through the medium of a double play. In the next inning, though, he passed three batters and was nicked for a sin- gle. One of the passes and the hit mixed with an error by Buddy Myer ac- counted for two more Red Sox tallies. Evidently the rest Braxton had after his poor showing against the A's was of little benefit. Both sides were off to a flying start. A brace of Red Sox errors heiped the Nationals to a first-inning score. Judge got & life when his easy rolier was booted by Gerber, and he checked in | at the middle base as Rice singled.

ISTRESSING as it may seem to those true atriots who feel that the future of our land rests in the caulifiower crcp, Max Siegfried Adolf Otto Schmeling is destined to be the next heavyweight champion of from Thursday night on the nam not Smelling, as used when applis the world. Also remember that e is to be pronounced Schmayling, ed to unpleasant odors. As a matter of record you can write champion de facto after the | name of this young Prussian right now. It is not my custom to be- come prophetic concerning the caulifiower industry, because cf the larcenous tendencies in it, but I am ready to predict that when Jack Sharkey (otherwise Josef Paul Cukoschay) meets Schmeling—always assuming that he does meet Schmeling—the garrulous gob, as he is called, will be knocked entirely s eechless for once, For the benefit of the 600 millionaires and the others dependent upen the caulifiower crop, the victory of Schmeling over thé Fiddler rab of the Pyrenese was a life saver. If it had been a dansant like the battle of what of it at Miami Beach, and if Senor Paulino Uzeudun, the bounding Basque, had bounded through to a decision | after the custom of Basques while bounding caulifiower common con | the stock exchange would have d As it turned out, there will be a strong bull movement in this commodity. Con- sider the program. First, there will be the bout between Sharkey and Schmel- ing. The German will knock the lo- quacious Lithuanian very loose indeed. Mr. Joseph Humphreys has announced that Sharkey is the defender of Ameri- can prestige in the manly art of modi- fied_murder. ‘Then for the big ballyhoo: Shall a German take the mantle of John L. Sullivan, the same mantle that dreped the shoulders of Jeffries, Dempsey and Tunney, from our shores? Shall the shade of John L. Sullivan be allowed to turbed in the tomb? Never! Som: thing must be done to keep the pre- cious title in Americ You will recall that when Jack John- gon confirmed his ownership of the heavyweight title by stopping Jeffries at Reno the clarion call went through the land for a white hope to bring back the title to the Nordics and the near-Nordics. It was this insistent call that brought Jeffries oy of retire- ment—that and ths record cash guar- anty of $101,000. This time the call will bs for Jack Dsmpsey to return and save the heavy- weight championship for America. will be even more insistent than the call for a white hope, for though he was ever so brunet, Jack Johnson at least was an American. His ancestors may have come from darkest Sene- gambia, but Jack Johnson first saw the light of day near the Galveston docks— | and not near the Spree. Mr. Dempsey has intimated that he will listen to the call to £ title for American democracy. that he will ask in return is $1,000,- 009 in cash to perform this patriotic Judging from the feeling hess who shudder at the thought e championship going else- it is & very reasonable re- for en attempt to avert a na- al calamity. of where, ques 1 y catch in it is that it seems | y that Mr. Dempsey will not be more successful in salvaging the title for the United States than Jeftries was in his attempt to save it for the Caucatians. But Mr. Dempsey will be able to put the million to good use. Schmeling and Dempsey. CHMELING has been compared to Demp: He looks a little like the Menassa Man Meauler about the brows, | but there the resemblance ends. Demp- sey probably is the most magnificently built athlete that ever stripped for action, a lithe and pantherish thing with a passion for his game, a fighter by build and emotionally a fighter. It strikes me that Schmeling fights with his brain, as Gene Tunney did. In action he is more like Tunney than he is like Dempsey. He has the look of concentration that is in the face of Dempsey when in action, minus the sinister “killing expression. erately, like Tunney, and, like Tunney, he punishes them methodically and deliberately with an accumulation of beating rather than with the one mag- nificent thrust. After the bout with Uzcudun, Schmeling lained that he hurt his band in the Afth rourd when It | He seems | to fight without fashion, cooly. delib- | ;g o member of the famous Orioles, is | ropped at least 20 points. he hit the Basque on that little patch of skull, the only spot that the Basque with his fiddler-crab motion left exposed. This was not by way of apology, for Schmel- ing had the man from'the Pyrenees s badly battered as a fighter could b2 and still remain on his feet. This is entirely plausible, for hitting Uzcudun on the head is just as in- advisable as taking a hard punch at semething constructed of solid concrete. The remarkable thing of the bout with Uzcudun was that Schmeling met him at his own game, which was the action of a goat of the Basque's native Pyrenees. He butted with him and he wrestled with him, but he wrestled with | intelligance. All in all, he showed that | he was a champion when he pounded | that apparently impenetrable barrier | to the title out of his way. The Financial Aspect. HERE is one bar to the swift and smooth progress of Max Schmeling to the heavyweight champlonship. He is fairly well cluttered up with parasites. Of course, every successful prizefighter, with the excwption of the lone Bull of | the Pampas, Senor Luis Angel Firpo, has collected as many parasites as a | ship collects barnacles. It scems that | {if cne is in the fight g2me one must | collect parasites, just as trenches col- | lect cooties. But Schmeling has more | than his share of this sort of annoyance. | At the current writing he is trying | to get rid of a German manager and place all his interests in charge of those three very practical business men, Urcle Joe Jacobs, the pugilistic pawnbroker; Pete Reilly and Will McCaimey. To give this triumvirate credit, the German seems to have prograssed under this management and certainly is “in the big money,” as th- boys say. But the New York Boxing Commis- | elon ‘takes the sids of the German | | manager, Bulow, and has ruled that Schmeling must’ give him a third of | his_earnings. It strikes me that the | matter of the legality of Bulow's con- tract is a matter for the eivil courts. But the New York State Boxing Com- mission takes the stand that it has precedence of the civil courts. The commission gets away with this arro- gance hecause nobody connected with the prizefight game wants to go to law. Somehow the boys feel nervous and self-consclous when they are nedr a | court. Of course. Schmeling may elect to fight his way to the championship regardless of the financial considera- tions. But that hardly is prcbable. | | | | There is no percentage in becoming o | out longer than usual is Lew Fonseca | heavyweight chemplon if one has to train in an almshouse. | Gt STARS WITH TAILENDERS.

DETROIT, June 20.—Five Detroit pitchers were unabis to quell an Indian uprising here today and Cleveland tock a wild hitting game from the Tigers, 12 to 9. The win gave {he Indians two out of three in the series which ends to- morrow. A feverish fifth inning, in which 10 Cleveland batters sccred seven runs off Emil Yde and Lil Stoner, who took the mound with one out, gave the Indians their vietory. Marty McManus, who had not hit safely in three days, hit his stride again with a home run. Bo! Fotherglll and Larry Gardner duplicat- ed the feat. ABH.QA. Detroit, Johnson.cf..

NOTES OF THE NATS BOSTON, June 29.—Goslin is no mountain goat so he took a few nasty spills when trying to climb the terrace back of left field while chasing long drives. However, he braced himsell against the bank in the fourth for a good grab of Berry’s high one. A high wind that swept across Fen- way Park toward the center field made the judging of hoists diffcult. Fouls especially bothered the infielders, but Todt, Reeves and Bluege managed to | make nifty catches. | Charlie Ruffing had a safety taken from him in the fifth by Gosiin. The goose ran far to his left and dipped for a gloved-hand shoe-top grab of | Charley’s drive while tearing along. On the pitch that fanned Bill Barrett lin the sixth session, Searritt and Williams tried a double steal. Scarritt, | unmolested, reached second, but Tate's throw_nailed Willlams at the far cor- | ner. It was Benny's best throw of the | series here, | After Tate singled in the seventh with two gone, he gave way to pinch | runner Stewart. This helped none, for Barnes, who grabbed Burk's bat, lofted to Williams in short center. Tt was| Barnes, who grabbed Burke's bat, lofted | in the serfes. In previous trials he had hoisted out once and once forced out & runner. Rumnr. the huge Red Sox piteher, | eventually may be converted into an! outflelder. A fine hitter, the youngster has fatled to live up to his promise | 25 a hurler this season and such a move as that previously mentioned al- | ready has been discussed. Ruffing has | been known for his ability to connect | with the ball since breaking in with | the Red Sox several years ago. ing 4 BOUTHERN ASSOCIATION, . 0. Birmingham, 2. 8 lemphis. 3. attanooga, 4 (game called . 4 inning to catch train), e lazy looper toward left. Scarritt, how- ever, let the ball trickle through his hands and the run went across. The Red Sox matched this tally quickly, Reeves and Rhyne socking dou- bles before Burke was settled on the rubber. Griffs Again Take Lead. ‘This tie was shattered by the Nation- als in short order in the second session. Bluege skidded a one-baser to left and en the first pitch to Cronin set sail for second. He not only made that sta- tion but third also as Berry pegged the sphere to center. Then Cronin‘rifled & single to left center to get Ossie over the big base, In the third the Red Sox -forged ahead. A pass to Reeves started the two-run rally. Bob watched Rhyne hoist out, but when Wijlliams shot the ball to right the former National tal- lied. Ken's hit was good for two bases and he went on to third as the ball was heaved home. Tate tried to snare Williams, but pegged to left field and another run crossed. The Red Sox got some runs they did not need off Eraxton in the eighth. Reeves walked and there were two on when Rhyne, attempting to sacrifice, reached first safely as Myer juggled Braxton’s throw. A wild pitch left both runners advance before Williams whiffed, end they scored when Scarritt poked & Ingle threugh the box to center. IN REVERSE GEAR WASHINGTON. Tudee, 1b......
