Sports News Cronin’s Hitting Sets Mark for Griff: LEAGUE SEASON RECORD LIKELY IN 12-BASE TOTAL Joe’s Clouting Helps Nationals Defeat Red Sox in First Tilt of Twin Bill—Hubmen Take Second by Pounding Hadley—Five Homers Hit. BY JOHN BOSTON, September 3.—Joe B. KELLER. Cronin, National rookie shortstop, isn’t likely to set the American League afire this season with his hit- ting, but he performed a feat at bat during the first game of the Labor day double-header on Braves Field yesterday that his club split with the Red Sox that is cer tainly a record for the Washington outfit in the current campaign, and perhaps a record for the Barnard circuit over the same stretch. During the initial engagement, Cronin went to bat five times and socked as many hits. That in itself, while a fine accomplishment, has often been done by other American League batters this season, although it was the first time this year a National had done as well, but Joe’s five hits were good for collecting bases at a great rate with five blows. in either of the big leagues. Joe hit for a double, a triple, a home run, a single and a double, in order. Left field was his fa- vorite spot for hits. His two doubles and home run were pro- pelled that way. His single and triple were driven to right. The homer was a loft into the left field bleachers and was his eighth hit of the kind this season. The triple narrowly missed being a homer. It landed high against the screen in front of the right field open stand. In the early part of this decade Ed Gharrity, then a catcher and now a coach with the Nationals, set an Ameri- can League record for total bases in a game in this city. Playing in Fenway Park one afternoon Ed nicked the op- position hurling for two homers, as many doubles and a single, making his total for bases 13. That record was surpassed a few years later in a cham- pionship campaign and also in a world series, but Cronin's is thought to be the best made in the American League at least in the past two or three seasons. Helped Gain Victory. Joe's batting helped greatly toward scoring a 10-to-7 victory over the Red Sox in the first part of the twin bill. With his five hits he drove over four runs and scored three himself. Besides Cronin’s, nine other hits were credited to the Nationals. All but one of the ‘Washington safeties and all but one of the runs were made off Danny Mac- Fayden in the first seven innings. Ray Dobbens, a left-hander recruited from the Holy Cross team, finished in the box for the home side. Myles Thomas hurled to his sixth straight victory and his third over the Red Sox during the string. Tommy yielded 15 hits, and it was well the Na- tionals had amassed a good lead at MacFayden’s_expense, for five of the safeties off Thomas were made in the ninth round, when the Red Sox got|A- G four runs after two were out. Tommy had done much pitching in the first eight frames and plainly was quite tired in the ninth. " The Red Sox had everything their way in the second part of the double- header, which they won, 7 to 2. In this game chickens came home to roost. Bosto! ‘Three one-time Nationals—Milton Gas- ton, Bob Reeves and Elliot Bigelow— upset the works for the Johnson band. Gaston held the Nationals to seven safe- tles, spread over six sessions, while Reeves got a single, double and triple | a and scored two runs and Bigelow had a P perfect game at bat with a double and | g1/, ¥ three singles that pushed over two tal- lies and enabled him to register two himself. Irving Hadley started on the hill for the Nationals and Irving lost the game in the first five frames. Before Irving gave way to Ad Liska in the fifth ne had been reached for nine hits and six Tuns. pounded across by the first batter to face Liska. The Red Sox got a second | § blow off Ad before he left at the end of the sixth, and one hit off Lloyd Brown to make their game total 2n even dozen. Lots of Home Runs. Home runs were plentiful during the double sketch. In addition to Cronin's four were hit. Joe Judge got his fourth of the season in the second inning of the first game and Goose Goslin his eighteenth of the season in_the fifih inning of the second game. Both were lofts into the right field stand. Charley Ruffing picked up MacFayden's bat in the seventh session of the initial tilt and rammed a four-baser into the lef} field stand, the ball bounding from there to the street beyond the park. Jack Rothrock opened the Red Sox |Boston fourth in the nightcap by dropping the ball into the right fleld sun parlor. Plenty of thrills for the long-hit lovers. ‘The Nationals had five runs to their credit before the Red Sox tallied i the first game. West’s walk, Tate’s single, Cronin’s double and Judge's “omer fig- ured in the making of four markers in round two. and in round three Tate was sent home by Cronin’s triple. A brace of singles and a boot by Rice of one of them meant a tally for the Red Sox in the third, but the Nationals ice, ‘The man left on by Hadley was | py, a total of a dozen bases, which is It isn’t done often first appearance on the hill since July 26, when he pitched the last inning of a game against the Indians in Wash- ington only a week before he had his tonsils yanked. It was Brown's first time out since his game in Cleveland on August 21, which he had to leave be- cause of arm soreness. Thomas helped himself to two hits in four times at bat during the first game. One of the hits was decidedly scratchy, but it i§ just as good as-a lined hit in the records, says Tommy. About 22,000 turned out to see the Labor day double-header at Braves' Field. It was an enthusiastic crowd, too, even when the Red Sox were tak- ing a licking in the first game. The throng rooted strongly for Cronin to make 1t a perfect game at bat when he xe‘x;t up for the fifth time in the first Thursday the Nationals may stop over in Hartford, Conn., for y!lhl‘l’nflon game.

I 14’s and Cubs Widen Margins By Twin Triumphs on H oliday BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. F there existed any reasonable doubts about either major league pennant race, the Labor day double-header base ball feast seems to have dispelled them. Victory in both ends of yesterday's double bill with the Yankees enabled the Philadelphia Athletics to lengthen their American League advantage to 131, games. Simultaneously the Chi- cago Cubs widened the gap separating them from second-place Pittsburgh to 121, games by trouncing St. Louis twice. The A's beat the Yankees by 10 to 3 and 6 to 5. Old Jack Quinn kept 11 Yankee hits well scattered in the opener, while the league leaders were driving George Pipgras todthe showers with a six-run rally in the third in- ning. Home runs by Simmons and Sykes helped roll up the top-heavy score. The Yankees appeared to have the second game won, 5 to 4, until the ninth, when three hits and Lary’s error gave the A's two runs and the game. Previously Ruth and company had shelled Rube Walberg from the box with four runs in the sixth, but they could do nothing with Howard Ehmke.

BY ALAN J. GOULD. Associated Press 3ports Editor. EBBLE BEACH, Calif., September 3 (#).—The echoes of two boom- ing rounas of golf rolled back from the mountains across Car- mel Bay today as the battle of Pebble Beach, with the amateur cham- plonship of the United States at stake, surged into the final qualifying round. The first big shot fired was a rousing 70, two under par, by the defending champion and top-heavy favorite of the whole field, Bobby Jones, in the first 18-hole test yesterday. The rever- berations of this had scarcely gone out to sea when alcng came a slim, curly- haired youth of 21, Gibson Dunlap of Los Angeles, with the game and the courage to post a sensational 69, thereby taking the lead unceremoniously from the king and establishing a new com- petitive record for one of the hardest of all championship courses. This double-barreled opening day thrill was all that could be desired by even the most enthusiastic of nearly 10,000 California fans, cheering the start of the first national championship ever h‘x;nught to the Pacific slope’s rocky shores. Stirring Tussle Due Today. It paved the way for a stirring tassle in the final 18 holes of the qualifying competition today, the result of which will determine the 1928 medalist and decide the 32 low scorers among the starting fleld of 141 eligible for con- tinuation at match play. The man-to- man competition begins Wednesday with two 18-hole rounds. No matter what else may happen to him, over a course that plays no fa- verites. if oceans of water and tons of sand have anything to say about it, the hero of the first skirmish of Pebble =33 | Beach is Gibson Dunlap. The cheering 10,000 followed Bobby Jones from start to finish, getting an eyeful of the master shot-maker’s golf at its best, but they remained massed around the home hole to roar an ova- tion to the California boy, who knew what he had to do to beat the cham- pion and did it. He said himself he got his biggest “kick” out of the fine spoon shot he smashed close to the home 3reen from a difficult lie, but the crowd’s outburst followed the sinking of an 18- foot putt for the birdie 4 that clinched his 69. Jones had to hole a 10-footer for his -own “birdie” on the eighteenth, but Dunlap put over an even more spec- 3_gy | tacular finish, Putting Is Sensational. Throughout his round, the young Los Angeles star putted with deadly ac- curacy, 2 40-footer on the sec- day at least his nowllll‘ed Ben Sayers’ blade was more effective than Bobby's famous “Calamity Jane.” Dunlap, a junior at the University 4333 |of California, at Los Angzles, spent most of his early golfing years in the Chicago 43 a4 | district before moving to the Pacific Coast. He has figured in a number of big tournaments in Illinois, as well as out here, winning the Southern inter- collegiate championship last year. He has a half-swing with his iron shots that produces consistent accuracy. With the prospect that it would take at the most 156 to qualify, the majority of stars occupied seemingly safe posi- tions going into the seccnd round, with three notable exceptions. These were George Voigt of New York, the 1928 medalist, who needed 80 yesterday; Chick Evans of Chicago, former cham- pion, with 81, and Phillips Finlay, long-hitting California contender and a pre-tournament favorite, who started badly, with an 82. All needed to get on better speaking terms with Old Man Par today to avoid elimination. Others Are Close Up. Should_eitler Dunlap or Jones slip off their fast pace a group of five stars, each with ‘a par 72 for the first round, appeared ready to step up and bid for medal honors. In this group were Don Moe, the Western champion, and Dr. O. F. Willing, both of Portland, Oreg.: Harrison R. johnston of St. Paul, Eu- Roland Mackenzie of Washington, D.C. A stroke behind them, at 73, came another “dark horse,” John E. Lehman of Gary, Ind, ex-college player, while the 75 notch embraced Cyril Tolley, British title holder; George Von Elm of Detroit, William K. Lanman of Co- lumbus, Ohio, and Vincent Dolp, an- other Portland, Oreg., entry. Francis Ouimet of Boston and Eustace Storey of England were at 76, with Ross Som- erville of Canhada, Jess Sweetser of New York, Frank Dolp of Portland, Oreg.; Eddie Held of New York and Rudy Knepper of Chicago in the 78 greup.
