LEVELAND, July 11.—A ban on radio broadcasting of home eague is expected after this season. in the Barnard circuit is greater this year than last, 1t is understoood owners of several clubs games not put on the air from the At present the radio men, with their microphones, are to be found in the press boxes at Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and St. Louis. _Of the clubs in these places only the Tigers are drawing heavily. Boston and Chicago have no strong representatives on the field, but those in charge of clubs Figl_d firmly believe the crowds ar radio. Many fans are perfectly willing to hear of the losing club through the radio receiving sets in the cor- | win ner drug store, the tobacco stand and the home rather than pay to watch the local athletes take their punishment, it is claimed. At St. Louis the Browns have been playing good ball this season, yet the attendance at Sportsmen’s Park has been extremely poor. It is question- able whether it would increase if the games were not broadcast, for there was no crush at the turnstiles in St. Louis when the Browns were going well before the story of the game as it progressed was told over the air. Opposed to Broadcasting. Several club owners in the American League, however, think the radio has done much to hurt the crowds there, as elsewhere, however. Here in Cleve- land the attendance is only fair. Among those strongly opposed to the broadcasting of home games are Clark Griffith, president of the Nationals, and Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yan- kees. Several times Griffith has turned down requests for permission to install microphones in the park at Washington. Col. Ruppert has declared he never will permit a microphone in Yankee Stadium for the broadcasting of cham- pionship season games. It is under- stood these two are leading the fight visiting Fenway Park and Comiskey e kept down at these places by the against the dissemination of base ball news by radio, and will carry their battle into the league councils next ter. May Ban Newspapers. Should the issue be raised, it is al- most certain the league will vote against the continuance of the practice. Presi- dent Ernest S. Barnard has raised his voice in opposition to the broadcasting of home , and 50 has John Shibe of the Athletics. Alvah Bradley of the Indians, it is sald here, probably would vote against the radio “broadcast of home games, although there now is a “mike” at Dunn Field. It has been suggested that newspa- pers, which have been fostering these home-game broadcasts, might continue to do so at second hand by putting over the air from their offices or the radio studios detailed telegraphic reports of the games. This, the base ball men say, could easily be checked. One has deciaréd any newspaper attempting to get around a league rule prohibiting the broadcasting of home games during the champlonship season in this way would be denied the privilege of the press box and wire facilities at the park. ‘That might mean a merry war be- tween the newspapers and the base ball interests, but it seems the base ball interests—at least in the American League—are determined to do away ' with the radio in the ball parks. Nats’ Pitchers Toss Away Early Lead at Cleveland LEVELAND, July 11.—A well pitched game is something the Nationals rarely get this sea- son. With a mound staff com- posed in the main of mere throwers, the club finds it difficult to get anywhere unless its defense is air- tight and it socks the ball savagely with men on the bases. In the series opener here yesterday the Nationals had no pitching, no de- fense and no punch at critical moments, and were drubbed, 9 to 7, by the Indlans after piling up an early lead in the early part of the battling. The Indians showed nothing much in a pitching way themselves, for John Miljus, who started, was wild as a hawk, and his successor, Wesley Ferrell, was not so steady. The pair of Cleveland hurlers yielded 10 safeties and 6 passes. But Miljus and Ferrell were not nearly 80 wabbly as Lloyd Brown, Irving Had- ley and Bob Burke, the first three of the four moundsmen Walter Johnson used. They were nicked for nine hits and five walks, two of the wallops being homers off Hadley, that accounted for five of the runs for the home team. Liska Blanks Them. Ad Liska, who followed this trio for an inning. allowed one hit and hit a batter, but kept the tribe away from | the plate. 2Miljus crowded the bases with walks in the first frame, doing s0 when he intentionally passed West after two were out. Then John couldn’t get the ball over while Bluege was up, and Judge trotted home with a gift run. Tate left three on by lofting to Averill. But Washington came back in the second Session to get two more 4 Heavers Not Enough 'WASHINGTON, AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

They stopped in the third inning, and the Indians got busy to get back two of the runs. Singles by Miljus and Averill, with Joe Sewell's walk sand- wiched between, filled the bases. Then Brown pitched four wide ones to Fon- seca and forced over a run. Hadley was sent to the left-hander’s relief, so Falk, a south-side swinger, took Mor- gan’s place at bat. Bib lofted deep to JGoslin. and Joe Sewell went over with the second run of the frame. Nats Make Four in Fourth. ‘The Nationals made the fourth their last scoring round, checking in at the counting block four times. After two errors and - a single filled the bases, Hadley was pushed over the piate by Goslin’s pass. Ferrell then took Miljus’ place on the hill, and singles by Myer and Bluege were good for three more scores. The tribe hopped on Hadley for a brace of tallies in the latter part of this inning, and after two were out, too. Luke Sewell walked and Ferrell lifted a homer over the right-field screen. The Cleveland pitcher might not have fared so well had Hadley worked a bit harder. The pitch Ferrell hit_was nothing more than a lob. The Indians tied the score in the fifth, when three hits were made off Bump. Two were on with one out, and Falk pushed a homer over the right- field barrier. A tank error by Goslin helped the Indians shatter the tie in the seventh. With one out, Averill lofted toward left field. The Goose camped under the ball, but let it slip through his hands for a two-base error. Fonseca’s single drove Averill over the plate, and Hadley got out of the game. Falk's single and Pinch Batter Hodapp's walk off Burke loaded the cushions. West made & good running catch of Gardner's hoist to deep center, and followed with a throw to Bluege that nailed Falk for a double play, but Fonseca was home Lefore the final out was made. Barnes and Boss broke into the Na- tionals’ line-up as pinch batters. Red hoisted to Averill in the eighth, but Harley singled in the ninth. Boss, though, was caught when he tried to e third on Bluege's single that fol- lowed. Goslin had a tough time of it in-left fleld. In addition to muffiing Averill's Joft in the seventh, the Goose sf gered under a fly from the e the thira ‘inning, and fnally missed the ball when he tried a one-hand catch. This gave Averill a single that helped the Indians toward their second run. Miljus was so wild that he pitched only one strike, and that to Rice, while passi the first two Washington bat- ters up in the opening inning. And in forcing over the run in this frame he walked Bluege with four successive pitches. Myer's slowness in covering base let a double play go by second e board ff |in the first inning.

BY WILLIAM J. CHIPMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. EPORTS that the Cubs were cracking seem to have been ex- aggerated or distorted. Fresh from two larrupings by the Braves three games, the Chicago contenders stepped into the Polo Grounds yesterday and cracked curves and fast ones up against the walls with such abandon that the Giant outer patrol ran itself in no time at all. The Bruins won the opener of the five-game series by the modest score ofue t 2, but it seemed like an Irish mile. ‘Turned back in the first assault, the Giants now face the necessity of win- ning all four of the remaining games if they are to “displace the Cubs in second position in this series. A double- header is on the card beneath Coogan’s Bluff today. With single games sched- uled for tomorrow and Saturday. Mean- while the Pirates will be gamboling in Baker Bowl with the Phillies, whom & home-run orgy. The Buccaneers now lead Chicago by one ar4 one-half games, and the chances for either the Giants or the Cubs to gain in the immediate future are sliim. The four remaining Cub- Giant games at the Polo Grounds are likely to be divided evenly, and the Phillies are poor hands to depend upon to stop a team like the Pirates under the circumstances. Bruins Have Big Edge. »The Cubs not only outfought the Giants on the offense yesterday, with 12 hits to New York's 7, but also had a wide margin on the firing line where Guy Bush presided. Bush seemed to delight in putting Giants on the paths for the sheer joy of leaving them there. The Cubs had 10 runners stranded to 8 for the Giants, but the Cubs could afford it. The Giants were under a nervous strain in the fleld, overanxious. Bush's support gobbled up every chance that could be flelded, but Cohen and Hogan cut in’ with errors which left Carl Hubbell in the hole in the fifth inning, necessitating his removal for a pinch batsman when Jackson and Hogan opéned the home half of the round with singles. If Hubbell had been trail- ing only by the one run the Cubs had earned he would have remained in the game, and this might well have made & vast difference in the ultimate result. Randolph Judd and Dutch Henry, in turn, succeeded Hubbell. The Bruins chiseled a run off Judd in the seventh, and Henry presented them with one in the eighth on a gaudy throw. Wilson closed out the scoring with a homer in the ninth. ‘The Pirtes hit five home runs in Phil- adelphia and the Phillies four. tal wa thin one of the record of 10 for two clubs in a game, set at the same Baker bowl in 1922 when the Phils hit six and the Cardinals four. Grantham led with two, and Traynor, Lioyd Waner and Fussel, of Pirates, and Klein, O'Doul, Hurst and Southern of the Phils got one aplece. Willam Watson itk outpitced Jess Haines and Fred khouse by just enough to enable Brooklyn to win the opener of its series against the Card- inals by 9 to 6. This victory again pulled the Robins within three games of the sagging champlons and the first division, The Reds punched the Braves by 10 to 2 at Boston in the opening of Jack Hendrick’s personal campaign to escape | from the cells A. L. Leaders Disappointed. The day's maneuvers in the Ameri- can League were disappointing to all three contenders. Alphonse Thomas de- feated the Yankees for the second time in his major league career, plunging the Huggins camp into gloom. The score was 6 to 3. ‘The Athletics started with a rush, winning the opener at:St. Louis by 4 to 1, when Howard Ehmke turned in a two-hit game against Sammy Gray, but the Browns got even in the night- cap. George Walberg and Eddie Rom- mel failed to hold Howley’s boys, and rowaer'® Aniahed “the garme oS n e game for the Browns, fractured wrist and all. is not his pitching arm, of course. The day’s campaign added a techni- cal half-game to the Mackian lead, which now is eight games. The Yanks are only one and one-half contests ahead of the Browns. Cleveland rallied sharply to defeat ‘Washington 9 to 7, climbing one notch above the .500 mark.

Various papers charac- terize the conflict as disgusting and ‘Tempo apostrophizes Schmeling sar- castically as follows: “Long live the thick skull which stood you in excellent stead in boxing, but which is an evil thing for this ‘match.’ Long live the in- ability to be diplomatic. “There is, of course, only one solution of permanent character— agreement between Schmeling and Buelow. But in the way of such an agreement stand two thick skulls, very thick ones at that, and no enlightening ray can apparently penetrate them.” Three-Club Race in N. L. McGraw and Hornsby Say BY WALTER TRUMBULL. NEW YORK, July 11."It's a three- club race,” says John McGraw. “It lies between the Pirates, the Cubs and my club, and I still think we have a good chance.” “Which is the more dani club, Pittsburgh or Chicago?” quired. “I have been inclined to favor Pittsburgh _a little, from the first,” answered McGraw. “The Cubs are tough to beat in their own park, with its short boundaries, but they are not so good away from home. Pittsburgh has been getting fine pitching and it is a faster club than Chicago. Those Pirates have speed. Outside of men such as Cuyler, the Cubs are not so speedy.” Then the New York leader, who is looking well and says that he now feels well, disappeared. “They tell me you are smacking that ball again,” I said. “That is a big load off my mind, because ever since you broke into fast company I have been real worried about your gerous I in- batting.” “Well,” said the Rajah, smiling amiably, “I hit one every once in a while.” “How about this base ball race?” I demanded. “It looks as if St. Louis was out of it,” he said. “That leaves the Cubs, Pittsburgh and the Giants. If our pitchers hold up, we have a great chance to win. I think you'll see us in the next world's series.” I BIG LEAGUE LEADERS l By the Associated Press. : American. Batting—Foxx, Athletics, .396.

HESE are hot days for the base | ball races in each of the major | leagues. About half the distance | to the finish line remains to be covered, and there appears to !be no surety concerning which teams | will win their way to the next world series. | If the Yankees ever can get within (half & dozen games of the Athletics, the American League race will be fairly open. The Mackmen and the Yanks have 10 games against each other still to play. Let New York see a chance for the flag and, even with their good pitching staff, most of those games might be pretty tough for the Mack- men to win. Even without Cochrane, Philadelphia ‘hu been doing fairly well, but some | of the other players are reported to be in none too good shape, and the Mack- men cannot stand too many injuries. The injury to Cochrane’s rib certainly was a bad break. Here is one of the greatest catchers of all time. He holds |up his pitchers, knows opposing bat- ters, goes all over the place after foul files, tags men coming in to the plate |in a superb manner, throws splendidly, | bats among the leaders, is fast on the bases and a general inspiration to his team. There never was a club which would not be weakened by the absence of such a player as Cochrane. Meanwhile, the Yankees are gett! better pitching than before and are showing their old power at the bat. With no bad luck, the Athletics should have walked home, but under present circumstances they must show plenty of fighting spirit; and any weakening of the Mackmen is, of course, vastly en- couraging to the Yanks. The next 30 days will be important ones in the race in_this League. In the National League, Pittsburgh and Chicago still look like the best bets, but New York and St. Louis as- suredly are not out of the picture. Brooklyn has_an outside chance to finish in the first division, but the Robins cannot be seriously considered as pennant contenders.
