HICAGO, August 19.—Although one of his young left-hand the White Sox yesterday, Manager Walter Johnson had planned to send another against the ernocn in the final game of the The pilot was hoping Lloyd Brown could make it three out of four for the Nationals in the current set. Brown, an in-and-out hurler the greater part of the campaign, has been getting along better than usual lately and Johnson thinks the southpaw may continue to improve to the finish of the schedule. Lloyd was no shining success | when he tackled the Browns last ‘Tuesday, but Johnson this morn- ing figured the pitcher might be effective against the Comiskey aggregation. The Nationals were to have their|& regular inficld combination in action again this afternoon for the first time | S05 since Tuesday. The suspension Buddy Myer incurred when he talked back to Umpire Dick Campbell in the last tilt | Gront of the St. Louis series has expired, and he was to return to second base. Jack Hayes was to go back to his steady job | Boss at third basec and Charley Gooch to the bench. Rice Cut by Glass. ‘Whether the Washington club would have its regular outfield on the job in| the final engagement of the series here | g was not so certain this morning. Sami Rice, the veteran right fielder, took a | Bers. mean sock when Bill Cissell's hit bounded against his left eye and forced his retirement. The ball bounded so sharply that Rice had no time to pro- tect himself with his hands. It struck him squarely, shattering the left lens of his sun glasses, the broken glass in- flicting slight cuts above and below the eye. While the injury turned out to be more painful than serious, Sam's eye this morning was still quite bloodshot and consklerably puffed. It was thought Rice might be kept out of play until the series with the Indians starts in Cieveland tomorrow. In this event Red Barnes would share the gardening with Goose Goslin and Sammy West this afternoon. It seemed yesterday that it simply was not in the book for the Nationals to beat the White Sox. They made 16 hits off Al Thomas, failing to dent the runway in only three rounds, yet with their first 11 hits they got but two tallies, and after the third inning never held the lead. Twice they battled their way to a ti, the last time clustering five safeties for four runs in the eighth inning, but they couldn’t hold the en- emy at bay, and were beaten, 8 to 6. Sox Bunch Their Blows. Bob Burke allowed the White Sox 11 hits during the seven innings he toiled, and twice blows were bunched against | Lim with damaging effect. First, the | Sox bunched three blows for two runs, | doing the scoring after two were out. | Then they bunched two more hits, one | 5} a homer by Carl Reynolds, which fol- | Jowed a pass, and the other was followed by errors by Joe Cronin and Sam Rice to net two more markers. Irving Hadley took up the pitching burden at the start of the Chisox eighth with the score at 6-all, and became the Joser. Irving pitched wonderfully well to Thomas, shoviag a third strike by |Bur! the pitcher, followed with two strikes thrown by Alex Metzler. Here Hadley stopped and passed Metzler. Came two hits—and the home side had the game tucked away. ‘The Nationals, with three hits, had the bases filled and none out in the second inning, but got only one run. It crossed after Hoffman got Hayes' long hoist for the second out. Their first iwo batters in the fourth singled, but both Gooch and Cronin fouled out, while Hayes again hoisted to Hoffman. In the fourth the Sox collected two runs. Shires singled with one out, and Kamm's single after the second out tallied Art. Following Kerr's walk, Berg singled Kamm home. Burke and Judge Single. Burke and Judge singled at the out-| set of the Washington's fifth, but Rice fouled out. Goslin was walked pur- posely to fill the bases, and Tate made good the White Sox strategy by drilling into a double play. Two singles, made after one was out, were wasted in the ‘Washington’s sixth. Then the Nationals gave the White Sox the same treatment given them in the fourth after pur- posely filling the bases by walking a batter. With one out in the Sox's sixth, Kamm singled and Kerr doubled. Burke threw four wide ones to put Berg on, then Thomas hit into a two-ply erasure. It was a narrow squeak, though, for Cronin, who took Al's grounder and touched second, was almost knocked off his feet by the sliding Berg. It was only a great stop by Judge of Cronin's hectic heave that completed the double play. A single by Judge, Rice’s sacrificial hit and Goslin's long one-baser enabled the Nationals to put over a tying tally in the seventh, but the Sox came back to take a four-run lead. With one out, Cissell walked and trotted home ahead of Reynolds, who parked the ball in the lower left-field stand. —Shires| doubled and Hoffman got a life when his grounder was booted by Cronin. Judge took care of Kamm's pop, but Rice dropped Kerr's hoist for a two- base error and Shires and Hoffman crossed. Nats Tie Up Game. ‘The Nationals were not yet through, however. Gooch and Cronin singled, and Hayes' sacrifice fly tallled Gooch. Boss batted for Burke and reached first when Kerr fumbled. Judge’s out ad- vanced both runners, then Rice par- tially atoned for his two-run error by doubling two teammates over. Goslin whacked a single that scored Sam with the tying run. As mentioned before, Hadley was great in the Sox’s ninth until he had two strikes against Metzler, the second batter up. Then he stopped using his fast ball to monkey with slow ones, and Metzler drew a pass. Came Cissell's wallop that would have been good for a single only had it been stopped by Rice's hands instead of his eye. With the outfielder temporarily blinded, Hayes had to rush out to retrieve the ball, and the blow was good for a triple, scoring Metzler. Had it gone for a single only, though, it quite likely would have sent | Metzler to third base. Then Reynolds singled past Cronin, and the Sox had the game in the ba A feature of the tilt was the hitting of the longest single on record for the{ White Sox park. In the home side’s first inning, with Cissell on first base, Reynolds got hold of one of Burke's pitches and drove the ball far over West’s head against the wall of the bleachers back of center field. It was clearly a safe hit from the start, but Cissell insisted upon pulling up on the way to second and was passed by lhe‘ fiying Reynolds. That, of course, auto- matically retired Reynolds, and though | Cissell managed to recover his wits and legs in time to reach third base, the batter was credited with only a one- base blow. .

Plane ag it landed near sixieenth hole of Norbeck links. Golfers Find Airplane Travel To Manor Club Is “Real Thing” BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. IR transportation to the_local A golf clubs has arrived. It ar- rived yesterday in' a routine way, when Ray F. Garrity, chairman of the Manor Club golf committee, and three friends, in- cluding the writer, took the short hop by air from Hoover Field, in nearby Vir- ginia, to the landing fleld at the Manor Club, 14 miles from the heart of Wash- ington, on the Norbeck-Sandy Spring ike pike. The idea of traveling to the Manor Club by airplane for a tround of golf has been buzzing around in Garrity's head for several days. Only a short while ago the airplane fleld, near the fifteenth green, was leveled and rolled, and although several planes from the Congressional Afrport, over on Wis- consin_avenue, have used the field, no plane belrlng a ?my of gblfers from Washington had landed there. So far as we ow, there never has been a party of golfers leave downtown Wash- ington just after lunch, hop into a plane and land on the pro})erty of a nearby golf club at a well equipped landing field, and be ready for play a little more than a half hour after the time the members left their offices. ‘When Garrity yesterday suggested & round of golf at Manor we were en- thusiastic. We were more so when he divulged we would go to the Manor Club by airplane. Fortunately we had had a little air experience, and a short hop in a plane, while a bit novel as a manner of renchm¥ a golf club, was nothing to get excited about. So we met at Hoover Field. There we found Garrity, Dave L. Thomson, chairman of the Manor Club greens committee, and Arthur Larkins of Cleveland, a business assoclate of Thomson. ‘The ship, we found, was a sturdy four- seater. New to Three of Them. Garrity, Thomson and Larkins hopped | iy in, not a bit disturbed by the ract that they never had been off the ground b2- fore, and we were off, golf bags and luggage piled around. Washington passed swiftly below us and shortly we were out over the rolling hills of Rock Creek Park, following the Norbeck pike, while over at the right were the lengthy fairways of Indian Spring. (And by the way, we never will feel the same about Indian Spring. From the air the maze of traps look terrifying, and we don’'t know how any golfer can get around that course in par or better.) Away off to the west were Columbia and Chevy Chase, hard to distinguish as golf courses. Up ahead was the Manor Club and toward it we sped at a speed of about 70 miles an hour, held by a strong head wind. The pilot was not familiar with the territory and he mever had landed on the field before. ~We came above the Manor Club and he signaled down with an interrogatory wave of the hand. “Is that it?” he said. And we signaled back, “Yes” The plane swung high over the towering trees that fringe the fairways on the new first nine and it became apparent why scoring is so hard at Manor. ~From an elevation of 1,000 feet those fairways looked like nothing more than narrow ribbons of grass. Swinging lower and again crossing the golf course, the plane came down over the pike again and landed gently, and without & bump. There an automobile was awalting the golfers, and within three minutes we were dressing for the wntown Helps Thompson’s Game. That air spin did not affect Dave ThomMeon’s golf, or maybe it affected him in the right way, for h» barely missed an eagle on the first hole and | scored a birdie 4. His tee shot at the second left him only & 6-foot putt for another birdie, but he missed. And with a little better putting he might have scored still another birdie at the ihird. Garrity figured that we saved 20 min- utes or more by taking the airplane. He is enthusiastic about it, and predicts that the day is not far distant when air- plane hops from the city to the golf club will be the thing to do. A few playful stunts were pulled off at the Manor Club by the members who had heard that two of its members were coming out by plane. Fake insurance policles were issued, and there were other gestures of kindred nature. Now that we've flown fairly low over a golf course we are inclined to agree with Maj. R. D. Newman of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club that airplanes can be used to good ad- vantage in spotting good golf country. A topographic map is necessary, how- ever, as he points out, for at a thousand feet, no matter how broken the country may be, it Jooks level from the air.

Washington Team Is Kayoed In American Legion Tourney EORGE WASHINGTON POST'S ball players are back from Philadelphia, a downcast lot of youngsters. They_ were knocked out. of the American Legion tournament by Uniontown, Pa, in the final of the No. 10 regional finals, score, 9 to 5, and blooey went their hopes of strutting before the home folk in the Eastern section play-off scheduled at Griffith Stadium next Tuesday, Wednesday and T ursday. Uniontown found the Washington pitcher, Buscher, for two runs in the first. A couple of walks and a triple gave the Pennsylvgnians an advantage they never relinquished. Uniontown’s defense blew up in the fourth and Washington collected four runs mainly as a result. Smith pitched well for the winners throughout. Overboard goes the dope when one attempts to pick & winner in the Week- day League play-off to start Monday. Every line-up is dotted with stars and there is no favorite. Fifteen hundred seats will be avail- able at the Union Station fleld. They were loaned by Clark Griffith. It is expected they will be filled. .

S STAND STIL: CUBS LOSE GANE Macks and Yanks Both Lose.‘i Chicago Beaten as Bucs i i i | | | i Win From Braves. BY WILLIAM J. CHIPMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. Novelty was injected into the two major league races yesterday when the | Athletics failed to increase their lead | and the Cubs actually lost ground. The | Macks won a spirited game in Cleve- | 1and by 6 to 5, but the Yanks won with | them—from Detroit by 12 to 2—leaving | the Philadelphia margin stationary at 14 games. 1 In the National League, the Cubs/ were defeated in Brooklyn by 5 to 2| while the Pirates were scalping the | Braves by 9 to 3 to reduce the Bruin | advantage to 7' engagements. | George Earnshaw held the Indians| well in hand for eight innings in the | brush at Cleveland while his mates| prodded the Messrs. Shaute, Holloway | and Shoffner with such vigor that the | A’s took the fleld in the home ninth with a lead of 6 to 3. At this point | the home forces launched a series of | blows at FEarnshaw and young Bill Shores was called upon to stop the trouble, which he did. The Yankee victory at Detroit was notable for Babe Ruth’s thirty-second home run. The champions drove Uhle from the box in three innings. Eddie Wells was flfiht all the way. Al Thomas pitched well enough to bring the White Sox home ahead of the Sen- ators by 8 to 6, and Charlie Ruffing tossed the Red Sox to a 3-to-2 decision over Alvin Crowder and the Browns at St. Louis. Ray Moss, young Brooklyn right- hander, set the Cubs down without a run until the ninth at Ebbets Field. The Robins themselves had no little trouble with Charley Root, being held to two hits in the first six rounds, but they finally broke through for three runs in the seventh. Johnny Fred- erick placed the decision definitely be- yond the Bruins by slapping Root for & homer in the next round after Moss singled. The Pirates had one of their famous hitting afternoons at Braves Field, pounding Messrs. Seibold and Peery, | the Providence recruit, for 15 hits and 9 runs. With such a margin to work on, Ervin Brame breezed home with not the slightest difficulty. Frank O'Doul celebrated with his twenty-fourth homer at Philadelphia, but Cincinnati pounded Lou Koupal and others to trim the Phillies by 7 to 3. Ray Kolp was the winning pitcher, but had to have the aid of Rube Ehrhardt at the finish. ‘The Giants and the Cardinals had an open date in their schedule, but are due to mix in a double-header today. . MACKS REFUSE T0 SELL TICKETS, BUT GET READY PHILADELPHIA, August 17 (#).— ‘While the management of the Phila- delphia Athletics is shooing away all applications for world series tickets on the ground that the team has not yet won the American League pennant, preparations for the October classic are in evidence.

Reklis and T. W. Posey in quest of the Southern Mary- land horseshoe pitching cham- plonship. In the county's section of The Star's metropolitan tournament played re- cently at Indian Head, Reklis defeated Posey in the final, 51 to 40. Both qualify for State play. Charles County was late coming in on the big horseshoe carnival. but due largely to the enterprise of H. M. Coster, chairman, its tournament was a big success and Coster and his co- officers already are laying the ground- | work for a far greater event next year. “Horseshoe pitching has taken In- dian Head by storm.,” writes Coster, “and we believe the rest of the county will be pepped up over it before long.
