SPORTS Jones, Crippled, Is Expected to Pitch : “Olympic” H orseshoe Star in Tournament JOHNSON FORCED TO TURN TO HURT HURLER FOR AID Twirling Situation Is So Critical Sam Must Work Sunday if He Can Use Sore Arm at All. Browns Take Second of Series. BY JOHN B. KELLER. 5 ond invasion of the West this year. T. LOUIS, Mo., July 20.—If Sam Jones is able to use at all the r.ght arm that was so severely bruised by Frank McGowan's drive in the game here Thursday, he wilt start on the slab for the Nationals tomorrow in the wind-up game of his club’s sec- Manager Walter Johnson has to go to a cripple for help. That's how desperate is the Washington club’s pitching situation. Johnson now figures he has only three fairly dependable mounds- | ment counting in the lot, Fred Marberry and Garland Braxton in additlon to Jones. Braxton took a licking yesterday, and Marberry, who went to Jones’ relief and hurled four innings Thursday, was to start one of the games in today’s double-header. Brown and Bob Burke, southpaws, and Myles Thomas are not re- garded as regulars, although one of these must be picked every once in a while to allow the three first-stringers to get good rests between starts. Irving Hadl and Adolph Liska, of whom much was expected. are no more than relief pitchers, and not such good ones at that. Don Savage means nothing to the club. He’s merely a student player. Jones' arm was still badly| swollen this morning. The flesk: | about the elpow is black and blu: ‘ and every bend of the joint painful. Yet Jones went Lhmugh! a throwing drill yesterday and| planned to take another this afi-| ernnoon. That's the kind of a ball| player Sam is, and, if he can use| the arm at all tomorrow, he’ll be on the hill for the beginning of the game. | Even with a sore arm, Jones probably | can give the Nationals a better bit of pitching than any of the staff other than Marberry of Braxton. What Sam may lack in the heaving wing he makes up with pitching knowledge. Pitching | Xnowledge, by the way, is something | few of the young fellows drawing sal- | 3 aries as pitchers these days seem to | possess, | Have Natural Ability. Many of the youngsters have natural | pitching ability. They are able to put plenty on the ball, but few of them | know where the ball is going after it| is pitched. They use little head “mkl‘ in their hurling. Whenever they gt into difficulty they seem only to think of sticking a pitch through the heart of the plate and they don't get away | with this kind of pitching often. There | are too many free swingers in the league. The knack of working on the bat- ter, which is the way base ball folk speak of an endeavor to outguess the man at the plate, isn't possessed by many of the present-day crop of pitch- ers, it seems. Usually if the young hurler accomplishes nothing with his first | two heaves to a batter hz chucks the | ball “in_there” and trusts to luck. The | i;cung Washington pitchers certain] aven't been lucky. Two really heady pitchers were op- | i | \ RUNNING WASHINGTON. Boss, 1b ic G ver, TS Liska, p Cronin, West, cf . L So0ch .. tBarnes .

In the fourth there were | two on and two out before a single, driven through Myer by Ferrell filled the sacks. Then Stewart whipped the ball past Myer and down the left-field | line for a double that drove over three markers. Schulte’s single and Kress’ two-bagger off Braxton gave the Brown another run in the fifth. Ferrell's one- baser, a wild pitch, Stewart’s sacrifice and an infield retirement meant a tally off Liska in the sixth. | Not a National passed first base until | the eighth inning. Cronin began that round with a double and moved up as ‘West was put out. Hayes strolled, then Spencgr and Boss cracked singles to put over two runs. Myer's double, Gooch's | single and Brannon's wild chuck ac-| counted for the run made by the Na-| tionals in the ninth. H Brannon and Kress guarded the key- stone sack for the Browns, Brannon go- ing to second because Melillo hurt a | hand during batting practice and Kress | to short because of Roetz's poor showing | in tha position Thursday. | = | Boss probably will stick around first | base for the Natiopals for some time. | Judge has a sore left arm that does | not affect his throwing, but prevents | him swinging weil at bat. | Schulte ran all over the field keeping hits from Nationals. His catch of Cronin’s hoist to deep left center in the ninth was a corker. Hayes made a fine play in the fifth when he jumped to his left for a one- hand pick-up of O'Rourke's hot smash at’the edge of the grass. Jack flagged his man, too. FIGHT IS POSTPONED.

CHIPMAN, Astociated Press Sports Writer. RAIN more or less welcomed by Eastern teams in the National League caused an enforced armistice all along the Atlantic seaboard yesterday as the Ath- Jetics took another step toward mak- |ing the American League safe for the house of McGillicuddy. Behind George Earnshaw’s crafty pitching, the Ath- letics handcuffed the Tigers, by 4 to 2, { while the Yankees were dividing a dou- ble-header in Cleveland. The cham- piors won the opener by 7 to 2, but the Indians rushed back to take the second decigion, 11 to This combinafion of results consoli- dated a theoretical advantage the Macks had gained 24 hours earlier by win- ning from Detroit as the Yanks lay idle in Cleveland. The champions yester- day lost the game which corresponded with that odd Philadelphia triumph, and the Macks edged one notch further ahead in the games-lost column. The Athlctics now lead by nine games even. Tigers Once in Lead. Farnshaw yiclded an advantage of cne run to the Tigers in the fifth, when McManus tripled and scored on an out, but his support quickly turned this deficit into a profit.

The blow | | added a decorative run to the Yankee | | total in the si | with Jimmy Zinn in the box. Bib Falk | Alphense Thomas pitched the White Sox to a 2-to-1 victory over the Red | Sox in Chicago, and the Browns downed the Nationals by 7 to 3 in St. Louis, completing the American League pro- gram. Double-headers will be encountered at | almost every turn in the National League today as a result of yester- day’s rain. Only the Cards and the Braves are failng to Wouble up. In| Greater New York the lead will be at stake as the Pirates make a double as- sault upon the Polo Grounds while t| Cubs eagerly engage the Brooklyn Robins in a bargain attraction. Pirates lead the Cubs by one game, | represented by a difference of two in the games won column. BY PULLMAN TEAM| ULLMAN today holds a rather comfortable lead in the battle for the second half series flag | in the Terminal Evening Base | Ball Loop as the result of a 9-6 victory vesterday over its arch foe, | Express.

In the senior group Try-Me Aces will again meet Kaufman tossers in a battle hav- { ing much bearing on the first half title, |and in the junior section Vic's Sport | Shop and Lionels are to face in a con- test, the winner of which will gain the | first-half crown. Union Printers easily defeated G. P. O, 11 to 2, in the Government League. Taking the lead in the first inning, the winners steadily increased it as the game progressed. Capital Traction went on a scoring spree to rout Railway Mail Service, 32 to 12, in the Terminal Morning loop. The Traction outfit piled up 10 runs in the first inning and scored in every frame except one thereafter. Naval Hospital's nine got back in its winning stride with a 13-2 win over Grace Episcopal ran away with Mount | Vernon, 17 to 0, in Georgetown Church | League. > Big Print Shop fook the measure of Thompson's Dairy, 11 to 5, in the In- | dustrial League.

Samosets gained first place in the French Midget League by defeatirg Postons, 13 to 3. MANUSH AND FOXX STILL TIED FOR BATTING LEAD By the Associated Press.

Far | shorter than any one-shot | hole we ever have seen, the tee shot at the fifth at Rock Creek Park demands a siot of less than 40 yards, and is played from a high bluff that makes the shot even shorter be-| cause of the unusual elevation of the tee.
