B8 TWIN BILLS CAUSE AISTRAIN ON BOXMEN < Juveniles Must Carry Burden of Pitching Until Vets Attain Form. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, April 19.— A game in Boston frozen out and another here washed out in two days has the Nationals piling up double-head- ers right early this base ball sea- son, and these postponements are no great help. It was tough the Johnson band could not play these | matches, for with the sun shin-| ing it seemed ready to make hay. Keeping a club on edge during two days of idleness is nothing easy, as any manager will testify. | However, with the exception of two of | their pitchers, the Nationals are in good | trim, ‘and the hardening they got in training camps at Biloxi and Chatta- nooga where the air was more bracing than that of Florida camps where man of the major outfits conditioned, shoul tell during this spell of inclemen weather early in the championship | campaign. It may. be that President Griffith moved wisely in abandoning the 'gator State for cooler training ter- ritory. Pitchers below par at present are Lioyd Brown and Fred Marberry. Brown, sent back to Washington yesterday be- cause he was suffering with a stomach complaint, is apt_to be around again in a day or two. With Marberry, ace of the Washington mound corps last sea- son, it’s a different story., Fred is not well conditioned, and it is difficult to figure when he will be in the pro- verbial pink. Fred's Case Is Odd. His case is odd. Down at Biloxi early in March it seemed the big Texan would whip himself into shape quickly. No one worked harder than he, and as he did not report with much extra flesh on his frame, it was thought he soon would be ready for creditable service on the slab. ~ After 10 days of toiling, Fred looked fit as a fiddle, but when at last the pitchers were told they might put some steam into their pitching, Fred simply did not have the steam. He looked strong, his arm felt good and he seemed to possess stamina aplenty. But he had no snap. John- son was puzzled, so were Trainer Mar- tin and Marberry himself. Fred speeded his training, speeded it to the point where he had Yo be warned not to over- do it. He persisted in the extra effort, though, and it must have sapped him | Tol to some extent, for when he broke into the exhibition series he wasn't the Marberry of last vear by a long shot. At that Marberry was assigned start the opening game of major leaguel base ball last Monday and what ha ned then is history, history w nown to Washington fandom. Fr was far brom being a finished pitche a pitcher in great form in that contest: with the Red Sox. He had little on the he" and at times tually appeared weas. It will be recalled that when he socked that two-bagger in the sixth inning and put his side two runs to the good he sat down on the second sack to rest. He needed & rest after munflng the baseline for a trifle more n 60 yards and in the next inning off the Red Sox drove him to cover. He had 3 lost his stuff. But Marberry still is training earnest- ly and within a short time hopes to be himself again. Until then, it is well the Nationals have other pitchers whe promise to be much more effective this year than before. It is not so good usually when a club cannot get service | early in the season from its ace of the previous camj Brown, Burke, Tm and Liska at hand, however, the Washington club is | quite likely to overcome this handicap. Hadley, Brown Deliver. Hadley and Brown already have been ted under fire and found good. They gave sterling exhibitions in the cur- tailed Boston series. Weather permit- ting, Thomas was to show wares against the Athletics here and Burke and Liska are to be sent against the | Red Sox during the three-game set in Washington next week. Young Burke, cheated of a shot at the Red Sox by cold weather in the Hub last Thursday, is the pitcher Manager Johnson particularly wants to see in action early. The pilot has an idea this slender southpaw has a fine chance to make his mark in the American League this year and that the better the start the pitchrer gets the better he will progress. For this reason, the manager plans to pick spots for Bob early in the cam- paigning. While young Robert has a deal of confidence in his ability and would as willingly tackle the A's or the Yankees as the Red Sox, Johnson’s scheme to build him up probably is a wise one. More experienced and durable slabmen than Bob have had much taken from them by the slugging world |5, champs and Babe Ruth and company. So it will be the Red Sox for Bob as a starter and if he gets away well he'll scon be tackling the larger fry. Another young pitcher Johnson looks to for good results this year is Liska. In the early part of the Spring exhibi- tion series the submarine hurler went | great guns, but toward the last he faltered. However, while pitching in | recent batting drills Ad has flashed | slabbing of the quality to make his | manager beam whenever he thinks of | the hurler. Johnson now regards Liska s quite ready to take his place on the hill and hopes to be able to use him frequently, for the Bohemian boy is strong and can stand a deal of work. That game with the Athletics washed out yesterday may be played as part of | a double-header at Shibe Park Monday, | when the Nationals jump here again, American League rules ban the play-off | of a postponement during the series of the year between clubs. but as | the Nationals are to play the Yankees in Griffith Stadium tomorrow the one- day stand here next week will be the | second visit to the As park. FORMER CHICAGO PILOTS | LEAD BROWNS’ INVASION | CHICAGO, April 19 (#).—A pair of former managers of Chicago base ball | clubs were here today to lead the St.| Louis Browns against the White Sox. Bill Killefer, new manager of the| Browns, once piloted the Cubs, and one | of his coaches is Russell (Lena) Black- burne, Donie Bush's predecessor as leader of the Sox. EASTERN LEAGUE.

CHICAGO, April 19.—Manager Donie Bush of the Chicago White Sox wants Victor Prasier, formerly of the Dallas ‘Texas League club, to pitch for the Sox, and avers he will or else——r, THE EVE FISHER AND SUHR LEADING ROOKIES 3/ Card and Pirate Youngsters Showing Batting Power in Early Games. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, April 19.—At this early date, the two best first- year men in the National League from a batting stand- point are George Fisher of the BSt. Louls Cardinals and Gus Suhr of the | Pittsburgh Pirates. By midseason either or both of these recruits may be sitting on the bench wondering what happened to their stick- work, but right now both are batting at an amazing clip, the more astounding 0lin that the 1930 season, so fer, has seen the pitchers dominate play. In four games in the outfleld for the Cardinals, Fisher, who spent many years with Buffalo in the League, has cracked out 11 hits in 14 times at bat for an average of .786. If he bats half of that for the entire sea- son he probably would win the league batting championship. Suhr, up from San Francisco of the Pacific’ Coast League, has been at bat 16 times officially, made 8 safe hits for a percentage of .500 and played a bang- up game at first base for the Pirates the bargain. Fisher's showing has been particu- larly astonishing. John McGraw, man- ager of the Giants, thought so little of the Buffalo veteran that he threw him in as an extra in the trade that brought Willie Roettger to the Polo Grounds and sent Doc Farrell to the Cardinals a few days before the season opened. Pisher hit .336 in 150 games for Buf- falo and batted out 28 doubles, 12 trlplu and 36 home runs. Suhr played ‘in 202 games for San Prancisco and achieved Frasier, one of the most promising of ithe Sox recruit pitchers, left the club some time ago because of a leg ailment. Hz also intimated he would rather pitch for Dallas. ‘The Dallas club wants Frasier, or some other hurler from the White Sox, but Bush says the only way Dallas will get a pitcher will be to see that Frasier comes to Chicago. —_— CARDS, 11; CUBS, 1.

NEW YORK, April 19 (CPA).— Frankie Genaro is to attempt that most difficult of fistic feats, the resur- rection of a lost title, when he meets Midget Wolgast in Madison Square Garden next month. Only a handful of boxers have been successful in regaining their seats in the throne room. Those who come to mind are Pete Herman. Joe Lynch, Ted (Kid) Lewis, Jack Britten, Stanley Ketchel and Billy Papke. There may have been others but we can't recall them at the moment. Insiders in the sock market always have taken the passing of the bamtam- weight laurels from Herman to Lynch and back again with more than a grain of salt. Just _before going to London in Jan- uary, 1921, Herman met Lynch right here in New York and lost the decision and the title Pete and his manager knew what happened when Willie Ritchie put the lightweight title on the line In London & few years carlier. If Herman had taken his crown to England with him it would havé been at stake in the Wilde bout. So, for one cause or another, Herman lost the championsHip to Lynch before he sailed. ‘Several months later, when Pete came back from the other side, Lynch oblig- ingly gave him a return bout and Her- man neatly reclaimed the honors. Lynch himself took possession of the crown once more when a year later he knocked out Johnny Buff, who had acquired the chlmnhmhlp in the meantime by outpointing Herman. Young Boxer Gets Ready * For His Reinstatement NEW YORK, April 19 (CP.A.).— Bert Stand, secretary of the Boxing Commission, tells this one: ‘The other day & youn‘ boxer ap- peared before the board to ask for reinstatement.

The city that pro- duced Bob King, Olympic high jump champion, also produced the newest sensation in the ranks of professional golfers. Ohio has a knack of turning out Presidents—and athletes. Ball play- ers like Root, Phle, Gerber, English, ‘Tavener, Benton, Haines and Sam Jones were all born in Ohio. And plenty of foot ball stars and track athletes, too. But to return to Denny Shute, the slender young pro, who has copped several big prizes this year and has far outscored all the best profession- als in the land with the exception of Gene Sarazen and Horton Smith— and he beat Smith twice.

Major League Fans Are Sure To Get a Lot of Bargain Days . FULLERTON, JR., "Afll‘:’l‘:fl irm Sports Writer. OSTo{thehuebsumnlom- this season has been that the fans are due to get a good sup- ply of bargain bills in another month or so. Double headers have been piling up at & rate of almost one for every two games on the major league tain pros had picked him out as a comer. And he s now coming through with a blnl outscoring those same pros, many others, and walking off wlth big checks, 'hfle“uuy get the little ones, or none at_all. Densmore Shute was sixth in the 1928 United States open with a score of 299. At Winged Foot last Sum- mer he tied with Sarazen for third place, two strokes hehind Jones and Espinosa. He beat 74 on each of his first two rounds, but couldn’t equal that figure on his last 18 holes, when another such round would have put him in the playoff. ‘This hollow-cheeked lad from Lima first galloped around in the rain to win the fifth annual Los Angeles $10,000 open, then on February 3, at San Antonio, he led the flield by three strokes to win the Texas open, shat- tering par by seven strokes. Shute's rounds were 68, 69, 69, 71 over the tricky par 71 layout. He may be another Horton Smith, you never can tell. STRAIGHT OFFE THE TEE HREE members of the Washing- ton Golf and Country Club to- day are wondering whether the exhibition of golf they saw on the last nine holes of the Virginia course yesterday really came from the clubs of one of their fellow members, or ‘whether Bobby Jones paid a flying visit here and injected himself into the pro- ceedings in the person of P. W. Calfee, the gent who found yesterday that par is just a fictitious figure and that shooting the last nine holes in.30 strokes—or 5 better than par—is just as easy as shooting it in 45. Paul V. Keyser, Denise Barkalow and Russell Jewell, all of whom are enthu- slastic golfers of the Washington Club, looked at the finest bit of golf that ever has been recorded on that difficult and narrow last nine at Washington as Calfee rolled in putt after putt for birdies, finally culminating the exhibi- tion hy sinking a short mashie pitch shot for an eagle 3 on the fifteenth and then the last three holes in even par for a nine-hole card of 30, which is one stroke better than that nine ever has been played in before. Calfee has been known for many years as a demon putter and a hard man to beat because he can putt so well, but even he was surprised at the way his ball found the hole on this marvelous last nine holes. He was out in 42 and back in 30 for a score of 72, which, in- cidentally, is his best mark for the| course. ‘Three birdies and an eagle came from the clubs of Calfee as he blazed his way around the golt course and set a record that probably will last & long time. Jewell, who is one of the leading players of Washington, was playing par golf, but his exhibition paled before the remarkable display by Calfee. The score might well have been a stroke lower, for his putt for a 3 on the twelfth hole hung on the lip of the cup, where another half turn would have given him three consecu- tive birdies. But the gods of golf, who decree that affairs of the rolling ball shall even themselves up, permitted him to hole the pitch shot at the fifteenth to make up for the one that did not go in at the twelfth. Here is Calfee's card for the nine, with par: .,l36435|l{o!5 +324333444-30 Maurice J.

Bobby Jones, golfer par excellence, who is soon to seek the British amateur crown, the one major title that has failed him since his rise in 1923, says that when one has played golf as long as he has, even the slightest change of either hand upon the club causes a feeling of discomfort. ‘The majority of duffers do not grip in a golfing sénse. They merely hold onto the club, thinks Jones. Poor shots re- sult. Now let us see what correct gég— ping entails. Note the sketch of JOMES' PUTTING GRIP RIGHT IN CONTROL by's &nmn. grip.

Yesterday must have been & for par.shoounfi for. two professional golfers of Washington clubs paid their first visit to the rugged Bannockburn course and one of them knocked the ball around that hilly expanse in 70 strokes, with every putt holed, while another had a 70. with two conceded putts, where another member of the four-ball game had holed a birdie and the try for a par was ine uential. Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase and J. Monro Hunter of Indian Spring were the gents who shot the Bannockburn layout in even par and the scores of both might have been better had they known the course, for to both it was their first experience at Bannockburn. Three deuces came from the trenchant clubs of Barnett and Tony Sylvester, the rotund and genial Bannockburn pro, as they proceeded to show Hunter and W. R. McCallum how to putt on those rolling Bannockburn greens. ‘Those deuces constituted the winning margin, !or Barnett and Hunter won by 3and 2 Barnett missed two short putts, or he might have equaled the course record of 68 held by William L. Pender- gast, but the little Chevy Chase mentor put up a remarkable exhibition on a course that was slow and soggy from recent rains. He reached the second green with two crashing wooden-club shots from the back tee, while Hunter put a pair of mighty shots together to day reach the tenth green and secure a | birdie 4. Barnett missed short putts on the third and tenth, or his score might have tied the record for the course. Slyvester holed a sloping down-hill putt on the eighth to put his side 1 up at the turn, and then chipped one in from the edge of the green at the fifteenth for another deuce, following it up by laying & mashie pitch stone dead at the long sixteenth Ior a birdie 4. Barnett’s deuce came at the down- hill eleventh, where he canned a 25- foot putt for the birdie. The best ball of Barnett and Slyvester was 65, which the rotund Tony declares is the lowest best ball mark ever recorded at Ban- nockburn. Hunter started in rather r fashion with a 6 on the second le and a 5 on the third, but he was back over the last nine in 33 strokes, two under par, with the aid of a pair of conceded putts on holes where Sly- vester ly had sunk the winning ball.

Legion Series Is EVEN posts of Washington will sponsor ball teams in the Ameri- can Legion's national junior tournament, this season, Wwith play starting May 25. The teams will be divided into two sections, the winners of which will meet in a three-game play-off late in July to determine the ci::‘a‘l.“ ‘repreunuuve in the No. 10 regl series. In a reorganization meeting last night at the playground department, called by the Capital City League, which will handle the local tournament, the fol- lowing four posts were represented: Vic- tory, Spengler, Sergt. Jasper and Lin- coln. The Bureau of Engraving, Quen- tin Roosevelt and Forty and Eignt posts also are expected to have entries. Last year's Legion series here was marred by squabbling. Everything pos- sible will be dore to avoid friction this season, according to Wesley Stewart, the District of Columbia Legion’s athletic officer. Player contracts and franchise fees must be posted by May 15. The player lists will be opened to examination by managers and coaches, ‘and all protests over eligibllity must be made before play starts. No player may be signed after June 15.

At the close of play April 12, London | cabled a suggestion that all the unfin- ished games be called draws. This sug- gestion was not acceptable to N. T. Whitaker, captain of the local team. Loncon had already won in one game and drawn in the only other game fin- ished, and to have accepted would have given London the victory by the score of 312 to 215. As London had defeated both ch(cuo and New York by tdentical score of 4 to 2, the'Washington team would have done better than either of them. London had its best team out for this match. In the four unfinished games Wash- ington did not have an inferior posi- tion in any game. In the game between S. Miotkowski (Washington) and W. Winter (London), Washington thinks it should be awarded the game because it is ahead in material, being a pawn ahead, with no compensation for Lon- don. London has two isolated pawns. ‘Washington can compel a passed pawn. Washington offered an exchange of rooks. If accepted, Washington would have a knight and six pawns against bishop and {ive pawns, with a decided advantage. ‘The Buerger-Turover game was ad- journed with five pieces and seven pawns aplece.on the board, and no po- IIIIOM advantage for either side. In the Walker-Sargeant game, Walk- er has a knight and six pawns against a bishop and six pawns. While a knight is considered preferable to a bishop where the both sides of the board, there is no other positional advantage and the nm undoubtedly will be called a draw.

By the Associated Press. AN FRANCISCO, April 19.—Primo Carnera, Italian heavyweight boxer, his three managers and others connected with the Leon Chevalier bout, which ended unsatisfac- torily to fans in Oakland last Monday, - faced drastic penalties today at the hands of the California State Athletic Commission. Charles F. Traung, member of the commission, concluded an investigation of the affair yesterday, and recommend- ed that the commission revoke the licenses of Carnera, Leon See of France, his manager, and two assistant man- agers, Bill Duffy and Walter Friedman, both of New York. Traung also urged that the commission ban the Italian from fighting again in Californis. In announcing his findings Traung sald, “I have no doubt from the evi- dence that the action of Second Bob Perry was inspired by some person con- nected with the management of Car- nera. The evidence seems to support no other contention.” Perry seconded Chevalier, 216-pound Negro, who had remained on his feet against Carneza for five rounds, In the sixth round the Negro went down, but regained his feet and resumed filhflnl Perry then hurled a towel in flw s signaling his boxer's defeat. 1 riot followed, and Perry was M beat- en by the infuriated crowd. The investigation brought testimony {,l:m Chevalier that an irritant had n rul ing, Perry kill him if he didnb “lay down” and that he had been offered a larger purse if he would quit to the Italian. The commission also was told that Frank Churchill, Los Angeles, Pacific Coast representative of Carnera, had appeared in the Negro's corner durin the bout and conversed with one Chevalier's seconds. ‘The commission will meet en banc next Monday to act on Traung's recom= mendations. Traung also recommended that the purses of both fighters be ref , as “there is no evidence that they were not giving their best efforts.” Carnera, See and others of the en- tourage left last night for Portland, Oreg., where the Italian is to meet Sam Baker, 276-pound Hollywood Negro, who recently was knocked out here in the xl‘l‘ round by a third-rater, Chet Shan- EX-CHAMPION‘S INVITED TO HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT NEW YORK, April 19 (#).—All seven living former heavyweight champions will be invited to attend the Jack | Sharkey-Max Schmeling title match for | the milk fund here June 12.
