PAGE C—1 Braxton to Get Test at Richmond Tomorrow : Beaver Dam Golfers to Be Busy AMERICAN LEAGUE CUBS SURE OF USE SOUTHPAW STRONG AFTER HIS ILLNESS Hadley Yields Only 3 Hits as Griffs Defeat the Braves by 4 to 1. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ORFOLK, Va., April 9.— Garland Braxton, south- paw slabman, who looks in pretty good trim now although he has had less train- ing than any other of the Na- tionals’ mound corps, gets his last pre-championship season test tomorrow when his club en- counters the Braves at Richmond in the last of a series of five games. Braxton left the club at Winston-Salem yesterday for the Virginia capital that he might escape a day of travel before going to the hill. ‘The lanky left-hander was well be- Jow par in condition when he reported at the Biloxi tiaining camp. Opera- tions in the Winter that relieved him of tonsils and some teeth left Brax- ton in a weakened condition and he was unable to do any strenuous con- ditioning work the first two weeks in camp. Even after the club shifted its base to Chattanooga, Braxton had to undergo another dental operation and it was feared the championship season would be under way before he rounded into form. Braxton, though, has come along with speed recently. He has grown stronger and his arm has plenty of snap now, he declares. He regards himself as ready to do a full turn on the hill, but_he will not be sent over the route at Richmond. Manager Walter John- son may employ Garland for as many as six innings tomorrow. however. The pilot wants him well tested under the fire of big league batters. ‘This series with the Braves shows the Nationals to be well fortified on the pitching hill. Lloyd Brown, after a wabbly start, rallied and gave a great account of himself over an entire route last Sunday tilting at Chattanooga. At Charlotte Monday Bob Burke and Myles ‘Thomas were quite impressive and yes- terday at Winston-Salem the Nationals got their best bit of hurling of the training period from Irving Hadley. Bump Displays Class. Bump stuck to the job from start to finish and disposed of the Braves with neatness and dispatch. But 31 batters faced him and all they gleaned from his pitching consisted of three singles and one base on balls. After the second inning, when they managed to score a run and deadlock the game, the Braves got only one safety and after the fourth, when they drew their lone pass, the opposition was set back by Hadley in order. The Nationals helped themselves to 10 hits, 7 off Harry Seibold, a right- hander, who hurled for seven rounds. The others were made at the expense of Bob Brown in the eighth inning. Some of the blows were fluky, the Boston fielders being handicapped by a gale that swept the Winston-Salem Park. Johnson's charges started their scoring in the opening round and in the fourth shattered the tie that had existed for two innings. They went on to punish Brown and make their |g victory 4 to 1. The win was the third n a row over the Braves and clinched &he Spring series for the Nationals, Seibold’s wildness aided Washington |in base ball in the first frame. The Boston pitcher walked West, first up, and after Rice flied out, passed Goslin. A lift to right by Myer was of no help, but Cronin lashed a single to center to tally West. The Braves countered in the second inning, when they bunched two safeties. Moore singled as a starter, but Hadley slipped a third strike by Berger. As Rhiel was thrown out, Moore moved to second, from where he scored when Rollings banged to right for a base. ‘Thereafter but three of the Braves reach- ed first base. Seibold began the third inning with a single, and, with one gone, was forced out by Welsh. Berger walked with one out in the fourth, but from then on Hadley was master. ‘The Nationals threatened to break the #le in the third round, when with one out Rice and Goslin singled in succes- sion, the second hit moving Rice to third . Sam was caught in & run- down, though, when Myer tapped to the grsédyslckzr and Cronin forced out u Tie Is Ended in Fourth. ‘Two were out in the fourtA before the deadlock was ended. Bluege opened this inning with a single and went to_third when Hayes smote for a base. Ruel's best was a pop to the shortstop and Hadley fanned, but the wind caught West's pop and carried it to short center for a single that tallied Bluege and Hayes. ‘Three hits were made off Brown in #he eighth, when the Nationals did their last counting. Goslin ushered in the inning with a single, his second hit of the fray, but was flagged when he at- tempted to reach third base as Myer singled. A double by Cronin sent Buddy to the far corner and sacks were crowded when Bluege strolled. Hayes' hoist to Welch in center was deep enough to permit Myer to register after the catch. ‘The Nationals reached Norfolk early this morning and were to engage the Braves here this afternoon. Fred Mar- derry was exfi:ud to do most of the bditching a; t the Boston bunch. “There was & ch\mu, too, that Joe Judge ‘would return to his first base post. The veteran, who has been suffering with a heavy cold, was in uniform yesterday at | Winston-Salem and went through a brisk practice. He hustled from the fleld to the club’s hotel just before the g:me began and did not return to see is teammates triumph. Joe is taking no risk with this cold. Jake Powell, who had to retire from the game at Charlotte Monday when he twisted an.ankle, also was to be out in uniform again today. He says the pain has gone from the foot and the rookie outfielder is eager to resume action. Don Savidge, rookle pitcher, left ‘Wwinston-Salem 'last night to proceed directly to Washington where he will get_treatment of a sore arm. snvxdfi had been complaining of an injury his hurling wing_ for more than a ‘week and Trainer Mike Martin deemed it better to let him go to_the club's ‘home rather than eonunue the uumlu trip. Savidge had been of no help to the club in bntunl drills since the pain developed in his arm. it SUTTON TO PLAY SLOSSON IN OLD-TIMERS’ CONTEST CHICAGO, April 9 (#).—George But~ ler Sutton, vzuen.n of championship phy. has qualified (or an old- umm tch with George Sl S\Iflm last night defeated Percy N. Collins of Chicago, 800 to 762, and is to meet Slosson in Ohicago or Boston. Johnson, Back in Town, Says Team Is in Shape Manager Walter Johnson, leaving ‘Winston-Salem, N. C., yesterday evening following his club‘s third successive victory over the Boston Braves, arrived in Washington euly this morning and after a visit to Emergency Hospital to assure him- self his son Walter, jr., is recovering satisfactorily from the auto accident which fractured both the youngster's legs, conferred with President Clark Griffith at the ball park. \Johnson voiced gratification over the results attained in Spring train- ing by his Nationals, and asserted his players are all in good shape, wm. the lone exception of First Baseman Joe Judge. The captain, who now is trying to shake off a heavy cold, will be in charge of the team for its games with the Braves at Norfolk today and Richmond to- MOrTow. The team is due to arrive in the Capital tomorrow night and, after a battle with the Orioles in Baltimore Friday, meets the club here in an exhibition Saturday, then plays host to the Rochester Internationals in a Sunday game on the eve of the opening of the American League championship season here next Monday.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ar April 9 (#).—Hav- ing conquered Bill Walker, who is rated as the ace of the New York Giant pitching staff, at Terre Haute yesterday, the Chicago White Sox were in Indianapolis bent on gaining an- other decision over their National League rivals. Red Faber was Manager Donie Bush's nominee to pitch against the Gilants. EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 9 (P).— ‘The Detroit Tigers and the Toronto In- ternational League team begin a five- day series of exhibition games here to- ay. MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 9 (A)—It never pays to take anything for granted l—and you can have the word of Roy Sherid, New York Yan- kee pitcher, for that. Sherid appeared to be in a perfectly | ta safe position in the fifth inning of yes- terday's game with Memphis. He had pitched four frames of shut-out ball and had two strikes on the opposing pitcher, Clarence Griffin But the next pitch cost him the game. Griffin bounced a hot one off Koenig's glove to drive in two runs and the Chicks won, 3 to 1. NEW ORLEANS, April 9 (#).—The Clevenland Indians, whose Spring ex- hibition schedule with major league op- position is the lightest in several years, begin their tour northward tonight. ‘They concluded their series with their minor league pets, the New Orleans Pelicans, yesterday with their ninth vic- tory in 11 games.

LOS ANGELES, April 9.—The knock- puaoan out record of Primo Carnera contained ' another victim today, but the Italian giant was booed lustily after he had polished off Neil Clisby, big Negro fighter, in the second round of their bout here last night. A crowd of 12,000 fans didn't like Carnera’s tactics of punching as he broke from clinching with the Negro, and as the glant walked toward his dressing room he was hooted loudly. Clisby was Carnera’s fourteenth straight knockout victim during his present American tour. The Negro, who once stayed six rounds with George Godfrey, weighed 198% pounds to the Italian’s 273 pounds. ‘The fight was scheduled for 10 rounds, and at the start Clisby seemed intent on staying away from Primo's punches as long as possible. ‘The Italian received a tremendous ovation as he entered the ring, but his populnmy waned rapidly with the spec- The first round, with the exception of the knockdown, was spent by Car- nera in stalking his prey. The Italian came out in the second round and continued to pursue his Negro victim. Clisby attempted to clout the giant. Carnera took aim and let go the final swing. Clisby tried to get up, but collapsed and took the full count. Three minutes later he had revived sufficiently to walk unaided to his dressing room. ‘When the glaflilw!'s departed Clisby got all the cheers from the fans, who plld $40,¢ 000 to see the bll invader.

Fred McLeod, intimate friend of the famed golf professional, and Gil Nichols, an- other close friend of Smith, visited the former open champion two days ago and came away from the hospital shaking their helds. and hoping the world-fa- mous “Alex” may pull through. Smith has done so many great deeds on the golf courses of the United States and has contributed so much to the lore of the game that his fame has relched into every nook and hamlet of the couhtry where the game is known. He is best known in recent years as the instructor of Glenna Collett, the American woman champion, and is the older brother of MacDonald Smith, another famous professional. Twenty years ago Alex Smith was one of the jeading professional golfers of the world and one of the first two or three in the United Staies.
