Horseshoe Eniries Close Tonight GRIFF INFIELD STAR APT TO BE LOST FOR SEASON| Removal of Floating Cartilage Now Held Necessary | After Examination of Injury—Judge in Trim for Play—Chisox Lick Nationals. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HALF-WAY break is better than no break at all. That's what the Nationals are getting with their casuals. With the club’s brief home stand just under way, Manager Walter Johnson is informed by the club physician that Joe Judge, veteran first-sacker, who was put out of commission by a sore arm a few days ago, is ready for service again whenever wanted. But the club physician also toid Johnson that Ossie Bluege, who was forced out of the game a week ago in Chicago when his trick knee went back on him, may not be available for weeks. Judge had nothing more than a sore back muscle, that did not affect his throwing, but did weaken his batting swing; 'and the club physician says the muscle is soun what is known to the layman as'a The M. D. calls it something else, And Bluege's injury isn't some- thing that can be patched up in a hurry, according to the doctor. Six years ago Ossie experienced the same trouble, and not until his knee was encased in a cast and kept immovable for weeks was the trouble removed. This time a sur gical operation to remove the car- tilage, instead of a rest in a ca. is likely to be used as treatment in Bluege’'s case. It looks as though Ossie is out for the remainder of the campaign. Bluege's loss for even a short time is a blow to the Nationals. His absence for the remainder of the year would P handicap the team even more than it has been handicapped bv weaknesses that have existed from the outset of the camraigning. Ossie had been one of the club’s mainstays afield since the | season opened, and in the past four weeks he had become a big factor in the Nationals' attack. Bluege Gone, Worth Realized. Bluege is the type of player whose brilliancy of effort isn't realized until he is out of the line-up. When some otner attempts to fill his shoes Ossie’s great- ness immediately becomes known. He ‘makes difficult plays look easy. so deftly does he take care of them. Whether at second base, shortsto~ or third base— and he has played all these positions this season—he’s a smooth-working ball player, a_sure-fire fielder. Since Ossie has been on the shelf two of the young Nationals have been tried at his post. Buddy Myer, who was at third base the early part of the season, went back there last Wednesday when Ossie collapsed after hurting his knee But, try as hard as he could, unable to fill the bill in a way satisfy Manager Johnson. In the opener of the White Sox series here yesterda Jack Hayes was sent to the far corner. Jack made a pretty good job of it, but he's no Bluege. No one expects him to be. ‘Whether Judge will return to the line- up regularly, now that the club physi- 8T cian declares the first-sacker's hurt to have healed to such an extent that it | will not interfere with his battling swing, is not certain. Joe broke into yesterday’s fray as & pinch hitter in the eighth inning, and managed to swing his bat well, even though he did not drive the ball to safety. Johnson, though, wants to get a good line on Harley Boss, who has been at the initial sack for the Nationals several days, and while Boss was somewhat crude in his work the last two games, the manager may keep the youngster at the post a while longer. Faber Baffles Nationals. Tn the opener of the series with the ‘White Sox yesterday the Nationals were charged with three errors. Boss, Myer and Muddy Ruel got the marks against their names. But these errors did not bring about the home side’s 3 to 2 licking. It was Red Faber's baffling pitching and nothing else that caused the defeat. All the Nationals got off Faber dur- ing his seven innings of toil in the way of hits were a home-run drive over the right-field wall by Goose Gos: lin—his twelfth homer of the season— and a single by the same batter, a one- hase hit by Ruel and a two-bagger by Garland Braxton, Faber's mound op- WALLOP WANTING CHIGAGO.

Faber also issued three passes, one of which was boosted into a tally. Braxton pitched well for the Na- tionals, too, for he held the Chisox to | four safeties and a run in the first | seven innings. He also gave up a pass ! during this time, but it did not help the | opposition. Then the visitors got to Braxton for three more hits, two runs | and the game in the eighth. Braxton | | deserved a better fate, for holding a| club to three runs in eight rounds is no | mean feat in these free-scoring days, but his mates simply couldn’t help him. | "Harold McKain and Fred Marberry crashed the game as relief hurlers. McKain pitched two rounds against the | Nationaks after Faber had yielded to a inch ba'‘er in the eighth and allowed nothing mo-e than one pass. Marberry | tossed but an inning. The first batter |to face him singled, but Fred easily | disposed of the next three men. Some dizzy base running, that was |ended by a side-retiring double play, | was put on by the Nationals in the first | inning when they had runners on third | and first bases with only one gone. The | Sox, though, could get nowhere in the second, that Reynolds began with & triple, so matters were about even when the home side came up for its fifth batting turn. Ruel started this with a single, and Cronin strolled, but Hayes tried to sacrifice and forced out Muddy at third base. Braxton, however, whipped a double down the left-fleld line, and Washington was in front. After one was out in the sixth, Goslin doubled the | Nationals' score by lofting the ball over | the right-field wall. That was all for | | Johnson's charges. ‘White Sox Bag Game. ‘The White Sox began where the Nationals left off. With one out in the seventh, Shires singled and took third hen Reynolds smote a one-baser. As| | Kamm forced out Reynolds, a run went | |over. Manager Blackburne sent his | reserves into the fray in the eighth and bagged the game. Hunnefield batted for Kerr. but only fouled out. Berg singled, though, and turned the base- running job over to Adkins. Autry abbed Faber's bat and promptly forced out Adkins, but Metzler socked a triple to put over the tying tally, an he crossed while Hayes watched Clssell's tap dribble along the third-base line, the ball stubbornly refusing to roll foul. Harold Cates, pitcher, farmed to the Southeastern League not so long 2go, and Clif Bolton, catcher, optioned to New Haven of the Eastern League while the Nationals were in Tampa, greeted the club at Griffith Stadium yesterda Cates is here for a tonsil operation, while Bolton is getting in condition again after loafing while a broken arm mended. As soon as he is in trim Bol- ton will return to New Haven. Cates’ future seems a bit uncertain. Shires got a lot of good-natured razz- ing from the stands yesterday, but it didn't seem to annoy him. In fact, the | big youngster seemed to enjoy'it. The White Sox first-sacker played 2 niity game around first base. but had his | troubles at bat. He can hit, though, and |is apt to start on a slugging rampage any time. i | BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS | American League. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. Washington, 2: Chicago. 3.

Cubs Get Within Half | Game of Bucs. BY HERBERT W. BARKER. | Associted Press Sports Writer. | HE latest clash of East and West | | has shaved a half game off the | A Philadelphia_Athletics' lead in the American League and left | the Pittsburgh Pirates’ margin in the National at & single per centage polnt. | Splitting even in a twin bill with the Cleveland Indians, the A's were forced to allow the Yankees, who beat Detroit, to crawl up a half game closer. W= | ever there was no cause for alarm in the camp of Cornelius McGillicuddy, for the A’s lead was 10 games today, an apparently safe margin. Pittsburgh’s position in the National e was more serious. The Pirates | were trounced by Brooklyn, and the | battling Chicago Cubs advanced to | within half a game of the top by beat- | ing the New York Giants. | Walberg Wins Game. Rube Walberg pitched the Athletics | to victory over the Indians in the first game, 4 to 1, keeping eight alien hits well scattered. Home runs by Al Sim- mons and Mickey Cochrane helped Wal- berg no little. The Indians, however, evened the count by scoring six runs in the ninth inning of the second game off old Jack Quinn and Yerkes, win- ning. 9 to 3. Wesley Ferrell held the | pace-setters to seven hits, one of which was Jimmy Foxx’s home run over the | double-decked stands in left field, the second time this feat has been accom- | plished. ‘The Yankees won & free-hitting struggle from Detroit, 7 to 5. Earl ‘Whitehill walked nine men and was touched for seven hits and all the Yankee runs in the first six innings. Emil Yde, former Pittsburgh southpaw, held the champions the rest of the way, but the damage had been done. George | Pipgras was hit hard, the Tigers get- ting 10_hits, two of them homers by Harry Rice and two more triples by Gehringer. Urban Faber and McKain allowed only four hits, and Chicago beat Wash- ington, 3 to 2. Garland Braxton blanked the Sox for the first six innings, but weakened in the seventh and eighth, when Chicago’s runs were scored. The St. Louis Browns pounded four Boston pitchers for 12 hits, and won from the Red Sox, 11 to 4. Billy Rhiel's homer with the bases filled in the seventh was the blow that enabled the Dodgers to beat the Pirates, 10 to 7. Five Pirate pitchers could not stop the Dodgers’ batsmen, and a costly defeat was the result. Cubs Take Slab Duel. At Chicago, Charlie Root and Karl Hubbell hooked up in a pitchers’ duel that found the Cubs on the long end of a 2-to-0 count at the end. Each pitcher allowed only four hits, but Root was steadier in the pinches. Bunching seven hits effectively be- hind fine pitching by old Pete Alex- ander, the St. Louls Cardinals turned back the Phillies, 8 to 2. Alexander was reached for 10 hits, four going to O'Doul and three to Klein, but fanned seven men and held fast in the pinches. Cincinnati and_Boston divided a double bill. “The Reds pounded Cant- well and Jones for 14 hits in the opener, and won it, 9 to 5. They could get only seven scattered safeties off Delaney in the nightcap, however, and the Braves won, 7 to GAMES ORROW. Boston incinnat Brkivn at_Pittsb GAMES TODAY. Boston at Cincinnatl.

He is the best of a group of experts who work out | daily on a court back of the law office of J. Prank Lillard. The regulars, be- | sides Garrison and Lillard, are former Mayor William P. Magruder, Dr. Leon- ard Hays, W. Carroll Beatty. Milton W. Brewer and Albert Anderson.

Hill for years has conducted a tour- nament on Labor day and has been quite a star. The veteran's failing eyes, he says, prevent him from winning the State championship. | Hill's son. Edward F.. has been ap- | pointed by General Chairman Greene to direct play at Colesville. Entry blanks may be obtained from him. “Sandv Spring.” says Chairman Greene, “is full of real horseshoe twirl- ers.” and proved the old axiom “that action speaks louder than words.” I ran upon a nest of pitchers and they invited me to referee a contest be- | tween the two community stars.
