Hadley to Toil Often NATIONALS EXPECT MUCH OF HURLER IN TRIM AGAIN Irving, Slated for Duty i n Labor Day Double Bill in Boston, May Start in All Remaining Sets. Griffs Easily Wal lop A’s, 12 to 3. BY JOHN B. KELLER. more, Irving Hadley, young ingly in good physical trim once hurler, who was expected to keep the Nationals well up in the race this year, but failed to fulfill expectations, is likely to have plenty to do on the mound BOSTON, September 2.—Seem! during the remainder of the campaigning. In recent appearances Hadley flashed the pitching form that made him such a marvel dur- ing the 1927 season, when he led effectiveness, and Manager Walter the American League slabmen in Johnson naturally wants his club to get full advantage of the pitching Hadley can do when he is right. Hadley toiled against the Yankees in New York last Thursday, going a route to victory. Saturday he was hustled into a ‘game against the Yankees as relief hurler, and gave a very good account of himself. Today he was to start against the Red Sox in the first game of the Labor day double-header, series here. Following the set in Beantown, the Nationals will enfer seven se- ries before the season closes, on October 6. In all likelihood Had- lay will be picked to start a con- test in each series. | have loafed in the early part of the campaigning, but his loafing | {{; days are over. There seems no real reason why Had- tey should not be a winning pitcher. | He has the build, the strength and the deliveries to make him a high-class moundsman. Yet this season in start after start he was unable to make any | headway. Irving rarely lasted more than four innings. Lately. though, he has been exceptionally effective. and Johnson believes the pitcher will con- 2 tinue the good work. Confidence Shaken. For a time it was feared Hadley|Bup might lack heart. This did seem rea- sonable, though, in view of Hadley's fine hurling in 1927. In many of his games that season Irving, then a raw rookie, found himself in rather des- perate straits and never flinched. H; ve lacked heart then an ;?x‘fisdnl%‘ e e ecord he did. Why ould he lack heart this year? .hn“l‘\'ould seem that Hadley this sea- son was suffering from lack of confi- dence in himself instead of lack of /heart. He was off to a poor start, mainly because he was not in good enough_physical condition to give his best. Repea n young pitcher who was striving so hard to get into form. After a time Hadley began to doubt whether he had enough to make the big league grade. Recent performances, however, were good enough to restore Hadley's confidence, and with the natural hurling ability he esses he is apt to get along well to e finish of the season. Myles Thomas was slated to share the pitching burden with Hadley in to- day's twin_sketch. Tommy has been hurling well the past four weeks, scor- ing five successive victories during the period. Two of the wins Tommy regis- tered over the Red Sox. Nationals Down A's. In their Sunday game at home yes- terday the Nationals showed some 20,000 fans that this year's edition of the Washington club can lick the Athletics once in a while. The Nationals hopped on three Mackian hurlers for 14 safeties and 9 bases on balls, while Sad Sam Jones baffled the league leaders, and scored their third win in 19 starts against the house of Mack this year. The count, favoring Washington, was to 3. The A’s got but seven hits off Sad Sam, although he was merely “thumb- ing” the ball to the plate. The Na- tionals’ first got to Bill Shores, driving him out in the fourth inning. Before Ed Rommel finished that round they had six runs to show for it and the ball game tucked away. Bill Brecken- ridge finished for the A's, and in his first_inning gave one of the greatest exhibitions of how not to pitch ever seen in Griffith Stadium. Six of the first seven batters to face Breckenridge drew passes, and two of the three tallies the home side got in the inning were forced across the counting block. But Connie Mack al- ready had given up the game, for, fol- lowing his club’s fifth batting turn, he rushed in substitutes for almost every position afield. ‘The ' Nationals piled up a three-run Jead in the first three rounds. A single 1 by Boss, Rice's two-bagger and West's single accounted for two markers in round one, while in round three Boley’s two-base d chuck after picking up Rice's roller and Myer's one-baser meant & run. ‘The A’s gleaned a tally in the fourth from Haas' one-base knock, Perkins' infleld erasure and Simmons’ single, but the Nationals came back in this round to salt the game by scoring six tallies. Cronin and Spencer singled and Hayes filled the bases by making a hit of an attempted sacrifice. Jones whiffed, but Boss singled two runs across, and Shores Jeft for the shower. Rommel, who fin- ished the inning on the hill for the A's, was reached for three hits and two R""“"‘ ‘These, mixed- with a hectic eave by Simmons and Rommel's wild pitch, were good for four more markers. Each side tallied in the fifth. Cro- nin’s fumble of Miller’s. roller, Boley's single, LeBourveau’s stroll, French’s sacrifice fly and Summa’s single got the A’s two scol The Nationals got three Tuns without a hit, seven passes issued! by Breckenridge and Myer’s sacrifice fy accounting for them.

Jones, jr., goes into the amateur golf championship today in a position never before occupied by a master of the game. If he wins he will be the first champion to be crowned five times. The Atlanta lawyer has won the title four times in five years and was_runner-up the year he missed. At Brae Burn last year he tied Jerry ‘Travers’ record of four champion- ships, but the great rival of Walter Travis, who won three times, re- quired more time for his stellar per- formances. Travers won in 1907 and 1908 and could not score an- other victory until 1912, repeating in 1913, Jones qualified for the amateur for the first time in 1916 when he was a mere stripling, 14 years of age.

In 1919 he went to the finals only to lose to §. Davidson Herron. Fran- cis Ouimet defeated him in a semi- final round in 1920, 6 and 5. Willie Hunter, playing from Eng- land, stopped him in the third round in 1921 and in 1922 he was\a vice tim of Jess Sweeicer in the semi- final. Max Marston was his mas- ter in the second round in 1923. Bobby started his big parade in 1924 when he downed George Von Elm for the title. A fellow-townsman, Watt Gunn, was the golf sacrifice of 1925. There was an interruption in 1926 when Von Elm defeated him, but he won again in 1927 and 1928, Chick Evans furnishing the final opposition at Minikahda, and Phil Perkins, the British champlon, at Brae Burn.

The Babe slammed his fortieth at Braves Field yesterday as the ‘Yankees id a hurried visit to the rented Sabbath home of the Red Sox to win by 6 to 4. The game yesterday was Ruth’s 125th, leaving him 29 more in which to hit a sufficient number of circuit drives to earn an increase in his annual $70,000 check. The Babe's own record of 60, made two years ago, is safe from any new advances at this moment, but another September such as the one he experi- enced in 1927 would give him about 56 for the season—easily enough for an- other handsome raid upon the Ruppert bank roll. And shrewd business man i.ho%h Jacob Rupgan is in other lines, he will be pulling harder than anybody else for Ruth to hit his 56 and as many ‘The good is mot altogether balmy at that. With the Yankees going nowhere and the Red Sox already ar- rived at that destination, 28,00 Bos- tonese, the largest Back Bay crowd of 5 | the season, paid cash at the gate yes- terday, largely for the opportunity of seeing Mr. Ruth. ‘Will Pitch to Him.

Sad Sam Jones was right, and the Senators smacked everything that was served to them. Connie Mack availed himself of the opportunity to insert several of his second string for a bit of exercise. In_the West, Ken Holloway pitched the Indians to a 5-to-0 victory over the White Sox at Chicago, and George Uhle checked the blows sufficiently for the Tigers to win by 7 to 4. The game was played at Sportsman’s Park, which will be dark today. Throng Watches Cubs. Limping_home from their chastise- ment at Pittsburgh, the Cubs found 50,000 clamoring a welcome to them from_the stands about Wrigley Field. The Bruins responded by smashing Jess Haines and Carmen Hill for 10 runs, which defeated the Cardinals by 10 to 3. Sheriff Fred Blake officiated for Mr. McCarthy. ‘The Pirates treated themselves to a 9-to-7T victory ove rthe Redsat Cincin- nati in 12 innings. The game was nota- ble, first because nobody but Red Lucas was the defeated pitcher, and, secondly, because Ervin Brame, the hitting pitcher, reached the distant right-field bleacher at Redland Field for a home run in the fifth with two on base. He had to have relief from Remy Kremer on the mound, however, and Kremer got credit for winning. The Phillies won both games at Eb- bets Field by 15 to 2 and 8 to 6. The opener was marked by the third straight victory of young Harry Smythe, recruit southpaw from Asheviile, and by Chuck Klein’s thirty-sixth home run. As Hack Wilson parked one at Chicago, Klein needed the blow to maintain his margin of two over the field in the National League. Frank O'Doul gained just a shade on Babe Herman in the race for National League batting honors. The Philly out- fielder got five out of nine in the two games as Herman picked up three out of seven. Larry Benton cracked again, and the Braves defeated the Giants by 8 to 4 at the Polo Grounds. Harry Seibold was the winner. POLICE, FIREMAN NINES IN.

Associate Press Sports Editor, EBBLE BEACH, Calif, Septem- ber 2.—The tumult and shout- ing of the preliminary golfing bouts, the practice putts and the predictions gave way today to :Ea serlola busnx;:ss of qualifying trox- e amateur championship of the United States. P o Out along the picturesque shores of Carmel Bay, where the roar of the Pa- cific Ocean is heard more often than the roar of the crowd, exactly 139 golfers, the best amateur talent that can be procured by America, Great Britain and Canada, began gathering before the fog had lifted to start the title quest. All of the experts and most of the onlookers, not influenced by sen- timent, family ties or partisanship, re- gard the quest as somewhat in vain, merely because the one-hundred and fortieth golfer in the big field happens to be Robert T. Jones, jr. of Atlanta, winner of the championship four times in the last five years. Jones, in spite of the fact he is facing a strong field on a course whose de- ceptive hazards can wreck anybody's hopes if given half a chance, was a 2-to-1 favorite to successfully defend | his crown in advance of the title com- petition. There were few takers even at such amazing golf odds. Two Days for Qualifying. ‘Today, with a former major league third baseman, Arthur (Tilly) Shafer of Los Angeles, first off the starting tee, the field settled down for the opening 18 holes of qualifying competition. The process will be repeated tomorrow and the 32 low scorers will qualify for match play, beginning Wednesday. There may be casualties among the favorites in the qualifying round if the wind happens to be high and a few shots start straying off the line into the sand or the ocean. Barring upsets, however, the main battle of eliminations will start Wednesday, when two 18- hole rounds will be played, cutting the field from 32 to 8. It has been “Black Wednesday” for the hopes of many a star in the past, a hazardous day even for the great| Bobby Jones and unquestiorfably the pivotal day of the tournament, outside of the actual final battle. There is no| time for relaxation in an 18-hole match, where the ordinary player who happens to be “on” his game has a golden op~ portunity to “take” the more touted performer. Last year, for instance, George Von Elm of Detroit, Don Moe of Portland, Oreg.; the present Western champion, | Chick Evans of Chicago; Francis Ouimet of Boston and Frank Dolp of Portland, Oreg., all were put out in the first round. Jess Sweetser of New York, another ex-champion, fell by the wayside in the second round and Jones was saved from probable _elimination only because his opponent, Ray Gorton, completely missed his drive off the eighteenth tee. That's what happened | only a year ago to a flock of stars, all | of whom are here for the Far West's first tournament and again rated among | the outstanding contenders. Tolley Failed Last Time. Cyril Tolley, here now as the British amateur champion, failed to qualify in his last appearance in the American tournament three years ago and, unless | he improves his play, he may again ex- perience difficulty entering the cham- pionship circle on such a course as Pebble Beach, where the penalties are often extreme for what seem like or- dinary mistakes. Dividends will be de- clared on the game that sticks to the main line, not on sheer power or even distance. Tee shots of abnormal length, such as those of Tolley and Phillips Finlay, the former Harvard star and 1928 semi-finalist, may find as much trouble as a ball that is topped, hooked or sliced. These two stars, among others, have already found that out. Soclety Hollywood, wealthy West Coast devotee of the nm% and the world of sports in general flocked out today to make up the opening gallery, as well as to make the most of being hosts to the celebrated stars of the game. The people who get into the Sunday rotogravure sections regularly are here by the score, even though the order of Ashion is for low heels instead of high. If there is such a thing as a golfing paradise, where so much trouble for any player abounds, the Monterey Peninsula, of which Pebble Beach is a unit, s that spot, with all the pic- turesque accompaniments. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. PEBBLE BEACH, Calif, September 2.—The amateur golf world began the annual celebration of Bobby Jones week, over this famous and exacting course today. The celebration here expected to differ little from ones held at Marion, Oakmont, Minikahda and Brae Burn, where the closing day found Mr. Jones taking a bow, accepting the championship cup and hurrying back to Atlanta for the Winter. No man in the history of the sport ever has so completely dominated field as does Jones in amateur golf and his defeat here would go down as one of the biggest upsets of many years. Jones is keen for the task of winning his fifth amateur title and his tenth national championship, and when he is playing as he was in &mfice rounds here, there is little to but sit back and allow nature to take its course. In the fleld of 140 the writer sees oy three with a chance to annoy or defeat the champion. They are George Von | oy Elm, Jess Sweetser and George Voigt. Here is a trio of seasoned golfers cap- able of handling every shot and most likely to start off at a pace that will prevent Jones from gaining an over- whelming lead. But Von Elm, Sweetser and Voigt are not conceded any bril- liant chance to defeat the emperor. Jones began the championship with every advantage in his favor. Recog- nized as the greatest golfer of all time snd the master shot maker of the game, he has a tremendous psychological edge over every possible opponent with the i3 | finish | PEBBLE BEACH COURSE | Out, Yards, Par.

California is showing a real response to its first national championship and will do its share toward making Bobby Jones' week a success, even to the ex- tent of furnishing some of the victims for the Georgian's gleaming blades if the luck of the draw ordains.

EW YORK, September 2.—Hav- ing accomplished the first part of his declaration to win both the Hopeful and Belmont Futurity, Jimmy Rowe, Jr., trainer for the Harry Payne Whitney Stable, now has his eyes glued on the rich Belmont Park stake to be decided September 14, which is expected to gross close to $125,000. And if that powerful Whitney combi- nation of Boojum and Whichone run as they did last Saturday in finishing one-two in the Hopeful at Saratoga lengths ahead of America’s best 2- year-olds, young Rowe will accomplish what no single individual has been able to achieve. Many have tried to send forth winners in the two important turf classics for youngsters, but none has yet achieved his desire. ‘Will Be Heavy Choices. At just what odds the flashy son of John P. Grier and the equally brilliant et of Chicle will go to the post in the elmont stake no racing man has dared to say. They faced the barrier at the Spa at the prohibitive odds of 1 to 4 with money scarce. It would not be surprising to see the pair dash down the 7 furlongs of the Widener straightaway at 1 to 10. meeting, James Rowe, sr., for years trainer for the Whitney Stable, re- marked that Boojum was the fastest.2- year-old he ever trained. And the statement of this most revered of the old school of thoroughbred trainers was borne out Saturday, when Boojum breczed around the 6': furlongs in 1:17—just one-fifth of a second faster than the American record hung up by the 4-year-old Audacious in 1920 at Belmont Park. And when one considers that Auda- clous was carrying 119 pounds, only two more than Boojum, which has faced the public just three times, some idea of the speed of this Whitney colt may be obtained. Whichone probably equaled the old record as he finished only a scant head back of his stablemate. And there are many horsemen who say that “Pony” McAtee was pulling Which- one, while Sonny Workman never let Boojum out. To Be in His Element. When Boojum steps foot on _the Widener straightaway he will be back in his element, for it was there that he first was-acclaimed the ranking juvenile of the year. Turfmen said before the Spa_feature that Boojum would not be at his best on an oval track because of his tendency to bear out at the turns, but Saturday he gave every evidence of a great champion. Away Wwith Which- one to a poor start, he answered to the urging of Workman as the field took the turn into the stretch and together with his stablemate dashed through the field as though it was standing still to finish five lengths in front of W. R. Doe’s Caruso, which took down third money. The achievement marked Whitney's second score in the Hopeful, as his filly Regret, won the event in 1914. It was also tHe second victory for the sons of John P. Grier, Jack High having de- feated Blue Larkspur in a brilliant last year: The twenty-fifth running of the Hopeful marked the close of the meet- ing at Saratoga, the scene shifting to Belmont Park today for a 13-day meeting. %t | 0’DOUL, WITH FOUR HITS, BAGS “BIG SIX” HONORS By the Associated Press.

After his knockout defeats iast year at the hands of Jimmy McLarnin and Ray Muller, Terris has been trying to | come back with more or less success. His come-back campaign reaches a critical moment on Tuesday night, when he faces the sturdy, hard-hitting, young Seminole Indian, Pete Nebo of Tampa, Fla,, in a 10-round bout at the Queens- boro Stadium. Nebo will be an over- whelming favorite over the fading East Side veteran, who has lost almost all of the dazzling speed that once carried him to victory alter victory. Mandell, making his first apperance since his successful title defense against Tony Canzoneri, battles Luis Vicentini of Chile in a 10-rounder at the Chic: Stadium on Friday night.
