Would “End Graft in American Sports™ WALBERG PUZZLES: THONAS IS RAPPED Simmons Leads A’s Attack: With Two Homers, a Double and Single. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, April 19.— Beating the Athletics is nothing easy for any ball club, but over a stretch of 21 games it has been all but im- ossible for the Nationals. Meet- ng the Macks 20 times last year, the Johnson band was able to muster but three victories and yesterday the world champions resumed where they left off in 1929. Clashing with the Nationals for the first time in this cam- paign, Mack’s maulers lambasted the apple in a most successful manner while the Johnson cohorts were meek and mild when hits meant anything and took a 9-to-0 shutout. It was the solid-socking Al Simmons who did the most damage to the Wash- ington cause, although his teammates contributed generously to the rout. Al helped himself to two homers, to make his total for the young American League Braxtor season ee. One was a drive which bounded off the center-field wall with a mate on the runway in the third ses- sion. The other was a loft to the left- field stand roof in the eighth. Al also helped himself to a double and a single, crossed the plate three times and was | M responsible for the registering of four tallies. lies. All told, the Macks garnered 13 hits, all but one of them off Myles Thomas before he was relieved by Ad Liska with two out and two on in the seventh in- ning. Myles gave but three passes, but rhaps he had no chance to give more. ‘he A's refused to let the ball get by most of the time. Seven of the eight markers off Thomas were made in in- nings after two were out. Simmons’ second homer was the lone hit off Liska. No Punch in Pinches. The Nationals picked up seven safe- tles off the left-handed George Wal- berg, who was their nemesis last season. ‘They also received six passes. But they never had a punch in pinches. Three times they had scoring chances. Two singles were wasted in the opening round. In the fifth they had runners on third and second with only one out and after the second out filled the bases with = pass, but Bing Miller got under Buddy Myer's loft. With Sam Rice's single and two walks they had the bases crowded again In the seventh after two ;en out.Hnnly to have Joe Cronin hoist e Haas. A collision between Thomas and Judge was responsible for the first of the ‘Mackian tallies. Bishop drew a pass at the outset of the opening inning and was advanced by sacrifices made by Haas and_Cochrane, the first of them | Cl bunted. Then Simmons tapped a slow roller toward the first-base side of the slab, and both Jue and Thomas went after the ball. Judge got it, but found ‘Thomas standing over him, and as the pitcher made no effort to cover first, Joe had to dive at Al. The stab was futile, so Simmons had a single that counted Bishop. It was a two-base wild chuck by Cronin that paved the way to the Ath- letics’ marker in round two. The short- stop picked up Miller's grounder and threw the ball far over Judge's head. Dykes put down a neat bunt end Mil- ler registered when Boley whipped a one-bacer to left. Walberg drew a walk and after Bishop advanced both runners with a long fly, it looked as though there would be more Mack tallying when Haas crashed a wicked liner to left center. Goslin, though, sprinted across the turf for a spectacular grab of the fiying sphere. Simmons’ Double Wasted. Simmons’ two-bagger with one gone in the third was wasted for Thomas tightened and fanned Foxx and Miller, but the A's didn't waste much in the fifth after their first two batters were retired. © Cochrane then singled to launch a three-run rally. Simmons most, shattered the concrete wall back of center with a crashing d:ive and when the ball rebounded by Loepp. the Mackian batting ace raced around for his second homer of ihe season. Foxx rified 8 one-baser to right and Miller followed with a two-bagger rattled off the right fleld wall to county Jimmy. Finally after Dykes walked, Rice got under Boley’s hoist to end the rout. Thomas was bombarded again :n the seventh and gave way to Liska sfter the A's had run their iuning total to three runs. Cochrane singled only to be forced out by Simmons and Foxx hoisted to Loepp. Then came succes- sive singles by Miller, Dykes, Boley and ‘Walberg, the first scoring Simmons, the third Miller and the fourth iykes. Here Liska appeared to take Bishop's bounder and chuck him out. Liska felt the sting of the Mack at- tack in the eighth, though, for with two down Simmons lofted the ball to the yoof of the left-field stand for his sec- ond round-tripper of the afternoon. Cloudy and raw today, yet 75000 turned out for the game. They like their world champions here. Loepp broke into the Nationals’ line- up flpt‘:\ the A's starting a left-hand pitcher.

HILADELPHIA, April 19.—For the first time this year, New York’s Yankees—Babe Ruth and all—will show their wares in ‘Washington on Easter Sunday. These Yanks, %o have ideas of wresting from the Athletics the American League title lost by them last year, are presenting 2 somewhat different line-up this time, although the old pounding parade still ambles to the plate. There’s a lot of power in the Ruppert rifles yet and they are bound to make their rivals feel it in_this campaign. Those missing from the Yankee line- up this season who were in there in 1929 are Bob Meusel, outfielder who for years cavorted or not as he felt in the left pasture when the New Yorkers visited Washington, and Lyn Lary, in- fielder who broken in like a lion last season lndh"ls employed both at third base and shortstop. Now Mark Koeglg. forced to the hot corner when the erstwhile brilllant Lary took over the short field berth, again is caring for his old post, while Ben Chapman, a newcomer from St. Paul of the American Association, is perform- ing at third. This Chapman is reported to be a whale of a fielder and in the association last year he made ihe pitchers wish he was in the Fiji Islancs or somt other place as distant from their league. The other new member of the Rupert rifles is Allan Cooke, also a graduate of the St. Paul club. Cooke has taken over Meusel's old job and those who have seen him in action declare he is more than filling Bob's shoes as a fielder, Like Chapman, Cooke knocked over the fences in the American Associ- ation last season. He probably was the longer hitter of the two rookies when they were in the minors. And those old favorites, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, displayed plenty of power with their bats during the Spring exhibitions. So, too, did Tony Lazzeri —push ’em up—and Earl Combs. ‘The Yankee pitchers are said to be in ex- cellent trim and though the catching staff could stand improvement, 'tis fig- ured strong enough considering the great amount of ability in the othar de- partments of the club. All told, it ought to be a great band of Yankees the Nationals will encounter in Grifith Stadium tomorrow after- noon at 3:30 o'clock. ORIGINAL pitching plans for the Sunday game in Washington made by Manager Walter Johnson called for the left-handed Lloyd Brown to take the hill against Manager Bob Shaw- key's outfit. Brown was sent home from this town yesterday suffering with a stomach indisposition, but the ail- ment was so slight that it was thought the pitcher would be available for serv- ice Sunday. In event Brown is not in | trim, Johnson will send Irving Hadley to the slab. There's no way of figuring now who Shawkey will pick to pitch against the Nationals. Whoever is se- lected, though, should be difficult to beat. 'TANDING pat on the team that won the world championship, the A’s do not botier much with their reserve at present, but they have at hand some likely material. In fact, those who fol- lowed Mack’s club through the training period contend that were the Elephant ookies with any one of several other lubs in the regularly. circuit they would be play- w Babe Ruth and Revamped Y anks Here to Battle Griffmen Today ‘Three of the youngsters are infielders. Jim Keesey is a clever first sacker pro- cured from the Portland Club of the Pacific Coast League; Dib Willlams, a second sacker, yanked from Little Rock and Rabbit McNair, a !glrklinl short- stop who came up from the now defunct Knoxville team of the South Atlantic League. McNair was the batting leader of the Sally Loop last season. Also he is the same McNair that Washington angled for. There was some. hitch, however, and the A's pulled him. from the National's line. Doc Cramer, outfield recruit, was with the A's for a time last year. He came up to the club as a pitcher, but after | a few trials decided he could do better at outfielding. ONNIE MACK thinks much of the 1930 edition of the Nationals, in fact, Mack has said the Washing- ton Club last year was better than it finished. Only their T getaway kept them -from being a factor in the 1929 flag race, Connie has declared. Now he sees the olub stronger in every way and predicts it will give its rivals plenty of trouble before the campaign ends. EMEMBER Slim McGrew, ' pitcher, who had several trials with the Na. tlonals some seasons back? Well, there’s another McGrew in the league now. It's John, Slim’s younger brother. He won the hold-out championship of the Philadelphia Americans, for only yesterday he penned his name to a contract. Then he went back to' Omaha to get Mrs. McGrew, but will report to the A’s again next week. NY CLUB that tries to get Jack Hayes, utility inflelder, from the Nationals, probably will have to give up much. 'Walter Johnson consid- ers Jack the best looking young in- fielder he has around and says he in- tends to hold on to him. Jack is a val- uable asset. There are several clubs in the Barnard Loop that would like to have him, but aside from being fine trading material, he is especially hand: as a reserve. Hayes can fill the bill well at second, short or third and has the happy knack of being able to jump into harness and give a good account of himself at a moment’s notice even after warming the bench for a long spell. 'ONDAY will find the Nationals in Philadelphia again, but only for one game. That washed-out engage- ment of Friday will not be played until May 16, when the Johnson band will visit the City of Brotherly Love for a one-day stand. Then a double-header will be staged.

NEW_YORK, April 19.—Lou Koupal of the Phillies weakened at the end of a great pitching exhibition today just enough to allow the New York Giants to score two runs and nose out a 3-to-2 victory. He was opposed with equal brilliance by Hub Pruett, Giant left hander. Wally Roettger, just acquired from 8t. Louis, drove in the tying and win- ning runs in the ninth with a single after Koupal had filled the bases. Pruett, making his first start for the Giants, allowed just one safety in eight innings, but it was a home run by Chuck Klein, which brought in O'Doul, whom he had hit. Phila. ABH.OA New York.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, April 19.—De- termined to “end graft in American sport,” the Fed- eral Trade Commission has launched a vigorous campaign to wipe out the practice of inducing athletes to indorse the products of sport goods concerns, it was learned today. To this end 50 leading companies have requested by -the commission to send representatives to a conference, May 7, at White Sulphur Springs, W.

Such a development would mean a drastic cut in the income of such stars of the sport world as Babe Ruth, Hor- ton Smith, Johnny Farrell and Gene Sarazen. Even some of the amateurs would be affected. It is esti) ed that Babe Ruth alone derives an annual revenue of $25,000 by indorsing various articles, including eatables and wearables as well as sport equipment. 2 ‘The commission apparently is con- fining the present probe to houses deal- ing in athletic goods.

OSTON, April 19.—The shuffling feet of Clarence Demar, vet- eran Melrose runner, today were strong enough to carry him to his seventh Boston Marathon victory in 19 years. This amazing athlete, favored by his special brand of sultry weather, ran a field of 180 starters deep into the ground and was in command of the tor- turous race from start to finish. Demar set a time goal of 2 hours 32 minutes for the 26 miles, 385 yards, but finished in 2:34:48.2, less than 2 min- utes slower than the course record, be- cause there was no competitor strong enl(lmgh to push him over the last few miles. Willie Kyronen of the Finnish-Amer- ican A. O: of New York, finished second by jumping his teammate, Karl Koski. Rhe outstanding favorite, during the last mile and trotted home about 400 yards behind Demar in 2:36:27.8 Koski, who trailed the victor during most of the second half of the race, came third and was timed in 2:38:21.8. Canadizns Among Leaders. The next two to finish were Cana- dians, Harold Webster of Hamilton, oOnt.,, was fourth in 2:39:27.4; Gabriel Ruotsaloinen of Montreal was fifth in 2:41:05, and sixth place went to Ronald B. O'Toole of St. Johnson, N. F., whose time was 2:41:55.8. ‘The_others finishing in the first 10 were John D. Semple of Philadelphia, seventh; Jimmy Henigan of Boston, eighth; Silas M. Lellan of Noel, N. S., ninth, and Gordon A. Norman of Mal- den, tenth. Theodore Galt of Boston, who has taken part in several of these Boston races, was the tenth to cross the finish line, but he was disqualified when officials discovered that he had not been checked at one of the sta- tions. Norman was followed home by the other two previous winners, Johnny Miles of Hamilton, Ontario, and old Bill Kennedy of Port Chester, N. Y. They tan the last mile hand in hand and broke the tape together, but the timers game Miles, who won in 1926 and again last year, eleventh place by a fifth of a second. ‘Wears Out Pacemaker, 3y Demar's victorious tactics were the same as those he employed in his pre- vious successful races. He jumped the pack at the start, and trailed the pace- maker until the latter wilted. Today Hans Oldag of Buffalo, N.-Y., led for 14 miles, until he struck the steep Wei- lesley Hill. This incline is one of De- mar’s favorite stretches on the course and, after asking Oldag “Who are you?” the veteran speeded up his shufiing and pulled away from the tiring Oldag, who was so weakened by his early efforts that he finished in fifty-seventh place. While Demar was trailing Oldag, Koski tried to keep about 200 yards behind the former. The bald-headed who placed second in last year’s event and won the recent na- tional champlonship marathon at State: Island, weakened when he struck the first of the three Newton hills, about 19 miles from the starting line, and from then on Demar pulled away from him with every stride. ‘The atmosphere was much too heavy !o‘r Koski, and ldo{.ethe Canadian en- es as wel confessed, “I'm mission chairman, is to preside conference. Demar, 20 Years in Game, Wins Boston Marathon Seventh Time most in sight of the Boston A. A. club house, the finish. In Game 20 Years. Despite Demar’s runaway race, this year’s fleld was one of the best in the Boston marathon’s history, which dates back 34 years. More than half of the 180 starters were strong enough to fin- ish.inside of four hours. There were many, however, who were forced to withdraw along the route but persistent stragglers, however, continued to break the tape until long after sundown. Demar, who will be 42 next June, can recall running in 35 marathon races and winning 15 of them. He took up this punishing sport just 20 years ago today. His Boston record now consists of seven firsts, two seconds, two thirds and a ninth place. Despite his age, which most of the experts considered a bit too advanced for marathon racing, he showed no signs of fatigue after breaking the.tape. He weighed 137 ponds when he took off from the starting mark at Hopkin- ton and lost only 5 pounds along the hilly road to Boston. His feet showed no signs of the punishing grind and he had breath enough left to reply to the praises heaped on him by his Ameriean Legion comrades, who following their usual custom awaited him at the finish line with their post flags.
