KELLER. year is due here tomorrow, Stadium are anticipated by T HAT Cleveland crew which has manhandled the Nationals this and three trying tussles in Grifith the local talent. The club, directed on the field by Roger Peckinpaugh, who used to assist in double-play making for the Washington outfit before he donned a Cleveland uniform, has been encountered 11 times this season by the Nationals and trimmed only four times. On paper the Indians do not seem to be anything above the average, but on the field they are tough to tackle. That's how the Nationals find them, anyway. The Tribe has more of a punch than the Johnson band, it appears, and way the Capital athletes do not care for. Miller, southpaws both, are simply During the tussling with the Indians in Cleveland not so long ago the Nationals were able to grab but one of four games played.

But Manager Walter Johnson wil! have Garland Braxton and Sam Jones or Fred Mar- berry to throw at the Tribe.

Johnson, though, has a_young hurler coming along nicely, namely, Bob Burke, and may toss this stringbean left- hander into the final tilt with the warriors from the banks of the Cuya- hoga next Sunday. Burke has pitched splendidly the last three times out and seems deserving of graduation from the Teserve ranks. He was good when he licked the White Sox in Chicago Wednesday of last week. and pitched a remarkable game in licking the Browns at St. Louis Saturday. To prove he is strong enough to be rated a regular-turn artist, young Rob- ert stepped to the hill again yesterday and polished off the White Sox again. Some members of the Washington mound corps more stalwart physically and much more experienced at pitch- ing than Burke have found it difficult this year to turn in three good games in eight days. In the Nationals' pitch- ing plans for the future Burke should come in for careful consideration. Despite Burke's clever hurling yester- dav the Nationals had no easy time beating the White Sox to even the series, which was to wind up this after- noon. They found Al Thomas a baf- fling boxman in pinches, and got the decisive run of the 3-to-2 game only when Tommy's support grew dizzy in the eighth inning. The game was hard fought throughout. The White Sox as- sumed an early lead, but were over- hauled in the fourth frame. But the visitors came back in the eighth to tie. Then a flaw in their defense ended the fight quickly. Pass Proves Way to Big Run. Each pitcher yielded eight safeties. Three of those off Burke were doubles. Only one of the hits off Thomas was good for as many as twg bases. Burke issued three passes, but none figured in the scoring. Thomas granted two passes, and one paved the way to the most important tally of the fray. A squeeze play accounted for the first White Sox run. It followed singles by Kamm and Hoffman, that put runners on first and third bases, with one out, in the second round. Kerr put down a neat bunt, rolling the ball along the first-base line. Kamm went over the counting block and Hoffman moved up before Judge tagged the batter. The Nationals had runners on the first and third bases, with none out, in the third inning as a result of singles by West and Cronin, but the succeed- | ing batters went up to hit the ball out | instead of putting it down, and there was no tallying. The Sox in the fourth went after Burke briskly, but after fill- ing the bases, with only one out, they were stopped abruptly by the stringbean portsider. Shires’ double, Reynold's one-baser and Hoffman’s walk crowded the stations. Then Kerr fouled to Hayes for the second out, and Rice took care of Berg’s hoist. The Nationals, though, stepped to the front in this inning. With one gone, West and Cronin singled. Ruel fol- lowed with a two-bagger to score West, and Cronin dented the counting block after Metzler clutched Hayes' liner. Both £:-ore in Eighth. ‘The Sox got nothing in the fifth from Metzler's pass after ‘one was out and a double by Cissell, but they managed to deadlock the game in the eighth with a tainted run. Shires singled, ‘th one out, and there were two runners on when Hayes booted Revnolds' roller. Kamm fouled out, but Hoffman whacked a single that put Shires over. Then Hunnefield grabbed Kerr's bat, only to end the attack with a loft to West. A pass to Goslin after one was out in the Nationals' eighth opened the way to the decisive run. Myer lofted to the outfield for the second retirement, and it looked as though the inning was over when West put up a puny pop to short center. But Cissell, who ran out for a catch, muffed the ball for a two-base error. He recovered the sphere quickly, but clung to it while the was on the way from third to home. Thomas made the fans a trifle uneasy ‘when he doubled after one was out in the White Sox ninth, but Watwood, ‘who was sent in to run for the pitcher, never left second base. Goslin bagged Metzler’s hoist and the infleld handily disposed of Cissell.

Joe Judge returned to the Nationals’ line-up at first base yesterday after a few days' absence because of a sore shoulder muscle. Joe celebrated the comeback by cracking three singles.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. HE Chicago Cubs, hard fighting crew, are back in first place in the National League today, prodded there by the doughtiest fighter of them all, burly Hack Wilson. For it was “Hackenschmidt,” with an architectural style that resembles a quarter section of a fortress wall, who crushed the New York Giants with his big bat yesterday after even the ele- ments had seemed to contrive to keep intact a slender one-point margin of the Pirates. The scene was set nicely for the graceful ascent of the Cubs into first olace when things began to happen that called, for sterner, brusquer methods. For the second straight day, the malev- olent Brooklyn Robins, going nowhere in particular, but mighty pugnacious about it, swarmed all over the Pirates and beat them 6 to 4. Everything was peaceful at Wrigley Field. With Guy Bush, ace of the Cub staff, going nicely, the Cubs ran up a lead of 4-0 on the Giants by the time the sixth inning rolled around. Rogers Hornsby hit one homer off Jack Scott, his twentieth of the season, and Hack got another, his twenty-fourth. Every- thing was under perfect control from a Cub standpoint, Becomes a Madhouse. ‘Then the peaceful scene turned into a2 mild madhouse. The Giants rose and slashed Bush for three runs in the sixth, thunder and lightning swept the field, and the game halted while spec- tators and players rushed through the downpour from flooded bleachers and dugouts. The sun came out in an hour and play was resumed. Bush was out of there. In a few minutes so was Art Nehf and before the interrupted sixth was over Pat Malone was hanging on th: ropes and the Giants were leading But John McGraw's discarded chick- ens have a habit of coming home to roost—right on his neck—at such times as these. It was the master mind who sent Hack Wilson to Toledo in 1825 after three poor seasons with the Giants. Hack waited until the seventh, when Heathcote and Hornsby singled, and then smashed his second homer of the day into the center fleld bleachers. These three runs evened things. A walk, sacrifice and McMillan’s single gave the boys from the pineapple orchard an 8-7 victory and first place by half a game. In all the Cubs used five pitchers, calling on Mike Cvengros and finally Charlie Root, who held the Ginats to only four hits the day before. Fitz- simmons was the victim of Hack's sec- ond homer and Mays finished for the Giants. The rampaging Robins, roughly espousing the Chicago cause, bunched their hits of Heinie Meine—no relation of Eenie Meenie—while Bill Clark held the Pirates in check. Babe Herman weighed in with two vital triples. Lloyd Waner frizzled his chance to be a hero by flying out with three on and two out in the ninth. ‘The remainder of the National League battling was interesting, but inconclu- sive. While the situation along the American League sector remained un- changed with the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics winning the day’s jousts.

They say that the team that leads the pack on July 4 almost always finishes ahead at the end of the season. Well, the Cubs were in L LOOHS wrs> first place on the morning of the 4th, but the Pirates were at the top by nightfall. Perhaps if the Bruins hadn't agreed with the Reds to halt the morning contest of the Independence day double- header at 12:30, the Chicago team might have remained in the lead throughtout the fatal day. The Reds won that morning game at the end of the eighth, when Cincinnat! pulled a scintillating triple play, just when it looked as if the Cubs were going to tie or win. And it was July 4th, too, that the war-like Mr. Wilson chose to pull his fireworks, starting a small riot in the second game when he left first base to run over to the Reds’ bench to take a poke at Pitcher Ray Kolp. All of which reminded old-timers of the good old days when base ball players were fighters, and a Giant.Cub series was a thing of beauty and a joy forever to those who liked to hear the whirr of the flying pop-bottle, the smack of a good left hook and the clang of the ambulance.
