Long Home Stand Starting Tomorrow Is Likely to Make or Break the Nationals B00D RECORD HERE BOOST FOR SEASON Fate Lies in 29 Games on Home Lot—Yankees Bow in 6-3 Contest. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, April 21.— Within the next 34 days the fate of the Nationals this season is likely to be determined. Following their game with the Athletics here this after- noon, Manager Walter Johnson's charges jump back home, and ex- | cepting one day when they return | to Shibe Park fcr another clash with the world champions here, they will play through May 25. It will be the Nationals’ big| chance to put themselves in the going in the American League race to stay. Last season the Johnson band came | up from its Southern training trip re- garded an important fastor in the pen- nant race. But it could not get its best foot forward at the break, and was un- able to swing into a respectable stride until the campaign was almost over. This time it has hopes of making a much better showing early in the race. Playing more than a month on the home lot, virtually at the outset of the season, should prove a help. If it doesn’t, the road beyond may be found too rough for the club to travel at a good clip. In their long home stand the Na- tionals are to play 29 games. They will face all league rivals, Although the season still will have four months to 80 to the finish, what is done before the Nationals take their first long tour will Jjust about make or break them. To a man they sense this, and seemingly they are prepared for the test. Theirs is an optimistic spirit. They have con- fidence in_themselves, yet not to such an extent they do not realize how severe a trial this long home stand is apt to become. First of the clubs to visit the Na- tionals will be the Red Sox, who helped open the major league in Griffith Sta- dium only a week ago. The world champion Athletics and the Yankees will follow the Hubmen, as mentioned. Each of the clubs is to stage a three- game series in Washington. Then the Western clubs will invade Griffith Sta- dium—the Browns for three games, the Tigers for four, the White Sox for four, and the Indians for three. After them the A's and the Red Sox will visit again. 'A"lormldlblr lot. The Nationals already know what a powerful kick the Ath- letics possess, and they know how much fight there is in the Red Sox and the Yankees. They know of the West only through hearsay. And they have heard nothing to lead them to believe the West will send to Washington any push- | overs. Instead it appears the West has strengthened all along the line, and beating them this year probably will be more difficult than it was last season. OBBY BURKE, cheated of his chance to open fire against the Red Sox in Boston last week, when snow and cold forced the postponement of the last scheduled game of the series, is apt to get another chance to show his left-hand pitching wares tomorrow in the opener of the set with the Wag- per crew. About the only thing that ‘would keep Burke off the slab tomorrow would be his employment in an emer- gency role here this afternoon. Burke looks fit and is rarin’ to go. If he puts out the brand of pitching he did during the Spring exhibition engagements, the young man from Joliet likely will give the Hubmen more than an interesting afternoon. UMOR has it the Nationals’ owner- ship is cooking u» a trade that will bring to the club a right-hand hitting outfielder, but the rumor comes from out of Washington. Nobody con- nected with the Washington outfit who is in a position to make an authoritative stater. :nt will confirm it. Neither is it denied. ‘The Washington end of the deal, ac- cording to the rumor, involves Roy Spencer, catcher, who refused to come to terms with the club until the day the season opened. It will be recalled that President Clark Griffith dangled Spencer before the management of the Indians during the traming season, hoping to get in exchange for the re- ceiver Eddie Morgan, a pounding right- hander, who has been used considerably in the outfield. Then, however, the Tribal chieftains refused to listen to Griffith. But Clevelnndd ‘r:ed.‘ -duu:her, and may have change: mind. spencyer. who was informed he had to train at his own expense, although he had worked out three weeks with the Augusta club of the South Atlantic League before reporting until he con- vinced Manager Johnson he was in shape to play, now is in good trim, ac- cording to the Washington pilot. John- son also says he is ready to recommend that Spencer’s name be placed on the Nationals’ pay roll. But he does not say he is ready to use Spencer. Roy was not_brought here for today's game, and nothing is said as to when he will break | into a contest. OHNSON and Sam Jones, pitcher, reprimanded and sent home from Boston last week, have composed their differences, and Jones very likely will be seen in action on the Natiorals' home lot soon. Sam appears in right good condition, and may break into one of the games when the Athletics show in Griftith Stadium. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Standing of the Teams. | Philadelphia | Wahrington Detroit ..

At least it is regarded as such by that association. British United booters, however, claim the title and have appealed to the United States Foot Ball Association. Three weeks ago Uniteds downed Marlboro, 1 to 0, in a match for cup-tie honors. Marlboro protested the game and the Washington and Southeastern body upheld the protest, ordering the game replayed. The Marlboro team based its protest on a ruling of the referee. Uniteds failed to put a team on the field yesterday for the replaying of the game and Marlboro was awarded the cup-tie title by forfeit. JIMMY M’CALLISTER BOSSING D. G. S. NINE Jimmy McCallister is at it again, or maybe it would be more accurate to say is at it still, At any rate. the smiling veteran sand- lot mogul, who has managed numerous teams and managed them well, too, now has taken over the District Grocery Stores outfit and is determined to put it on the base ball map, Yesterday the D. G. S. boys smeared a nice coat of whitewash on the Capitol Heights Junior Order tossers, 3 to 0, after battling Monroe A. C. to a tie in a game the week before. Jimmy now has a good team, but he will not be satisfied until it is really a bang-up outfit. To that end he an- nounced today that he has arranged to add such players as Andy Oehmann, former crack Eastern High pitcher; Jerry Augustine, Logan Fowler and Ralph Bennie. Charlie Deuterman’s Bauserman Mo- to Co. nine, which handed Manhattans an 8-6 defeat, will entertain Georgetown A. C. next Sunday on the Arlington, Va., field. Deuterman wants the Dixie Pig manager and Pitchers Jerry Augus- tine, Calvert Hull and Bennie Worms- ley to call him at Clarendon 1280-W-2. Indian Head Cardinals, victorious over Alexandria Cardinals, 6 to 0, believe they can take the measure of the best teams around Washington. They will play host to Chevy Chase Grays next Sunday, Hottel and Navin, particularly the former, did some nifty flinging for the Indian Head boys against the Alex- | andria team. Esworthy and Coleman looked the goods as Rockville took the Chevy Chase Grays, 7 to 2, the Montgomery County town.

Others helping were Ossie Bluege, whose single put across the tie- shattering run in the eighth, and Sam Rice, who singled two more over later in_that round. Uncle Tom Zachary was the main victim of the Washington attack. The former Nationel slabbed well until the seventh, being reached for only four safeties and a run up to that session. In the seventh, though, he was socked for a single and a triple and kicked in with | a two-base wild chuck that damaged | him greatly.

Maybe that's why he didn't retire at the end of last season, when his ambition of 15 years was realized and he again led his team of Elephants to the base ball heights. Connie's team repeated in 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914, so he probably sees' no reason why the present champlons shouldn't be good for an- other year at least. The A.'s on paper appear stronger than last year, and should be good for at least 100 victories in 1930. ONNIE MACK is older than John McGraw and has been ATHLETICS. Sammy Hale has departed and “Old Man River” Quinn has about reached the end of the trail, but Mack has fortified his catching staff with Wallie Schang and his infield with Eric McNair and Dib Williams, and he also has Jim Keesey to fill in at first, and has added Leroy Ma- haffey fo his pitching staff. As everybody knows, the team of Dykes, Boley, Bishop and Foxx on the inner defense, Simmons, Haas, Miller and Summa in the outfield, Cochrane and Perkins behind_the bat and Grove, Walberg, Earnshaw, Ehmke, Rommel and Shores in the box is just about the best combina- tion ineither league, and Connie is much tco smart to waste any time in changing a line-up that was good enough to win the pennant by an HE WONT BE 23 TiLL =™ NEXT OCTOBER, AND -THIS IS ., N A SRRk N n e A5/ (me BATED .354 LAST YEAR) —By FEG MURRAY = NG [l LL o W Metropolitan Newspaper 18-game margin and the world series with only the loss of one contest. And remember, too, that Cornelius McGillicuddy, with 32 years of man- aging American League teams to his credit, is one of the main reasons for picking the A's to repeat this year, Connie is the Old Fox of the “younger” circuit, and he is ably as- sisted by two more old foxes, Eddie Collins, still eligible to play second base or go in as a pin¢h hitter, and Kid Gleason, who knows more base ball than a lot of major league man- agers at the present time. And now we come to that young fox, Jimmy Foxx, a 22-year-old won- der, who can catch, play third base or first and whose batting average hes never been below .313 since he joined the Athletics as a kid of 17 back in 1925. “Home Run” Baker discovered Foxx and, although the figures are not at hand, I'm sure that Jimmy the Kid has already hit more home runs than his discoverer. “Home Run” Foxx made 33 circuit clouts last season, 13 in 1928 and 3 in 1927. The number of his four- base wallops is mounting steadily, just as his batting average has grown greater the last four seasons. And remember, too, what this Maryland farmer did in the world series! ‘Twenty “at bats,” seven hits and five Tuns, for an average of .350! And he socked two homers in the first two games and fielded perfectly, too! ‘These two foxes, Connie and Jimmy, should help the A's to an- other pennant this year. Along the By Carrol OW that Spring is here, we are consumed with anxiety over quite & number of things, principally whether - we are going to be all ready for cruising when the time arrives. There is so much to be done—painting, hauling out and re- newing the stuffing box—all the small and large jobs incident to Spring over- hauling. There are one or two other anxieties that have not directly to do with the boat —things, however, that contribute to the joy of boating. We wonder whether we again shall see the two great bald eagles that for a number of years have lorded | over the Grand Duchy of Mattawoman | or whether they have succumbed to the idiocy of some mighty nimrod armed with the latest thing in high-powered rifles and a mania for killing. ‘Then there's our old friend Willie-the- whip, better known as whippoorwill, whose call we have been accustomed to hear when anchored above the twin bridges in Occoquan. Will he be there to sing for us or will he, too, have fallen prey to some big out-of-doors man? And that rabbit—we like to think it the same one—that peered at us so often from his covert of brambles, his ears all a-cock and quivering. These and many others similar are the anxieties that beset us, and— who wants to join in a movement abol- ishing hunters? e HERE'S a tall story, albeit a true one.

It” is the mast for the cup defender Yankee, now building at Lawley's, at Neponset, Mass. Of course, you all know that Sir Thomas Lipton again is to try to lift the cup with a new Sham- rock, the fifth of this name, Three other defenders are building — one named Whirlwind, also at Lawley's, and two more at Herreschofl's, Weetamoe and Enterprise. Enterprise is named for the famous warship of that name that captured the Boxer during the War of 1812, It is interesting to note that these vessels are compelled to have two of | these masts, one in the boat, the other as a spare. The sail area of these craft is approximately 7,500 square feet, re- quiring about 850 yards of material. 'R HOW may we add to the joys and delights of boating? Many ways there are to accomplish this. Before attempting to outline them let us con- sider the situation. A benevolent Gov- ernment has provided for us publica- tions of many kinds that help us to en- Joy our craft in comfort and safety. There are charts showing depths and shorelines, buoy positions and dangers, currents and ports. Then there is the Coast Pilot, a book well worth having, describing ‘the places shown on the charts, indicating the facilities and sup- plies obtainable. The light list covers the buoys and light houses, describing them carefully. The tides are covered In the tide table. So much for the pub- lications, Now for ourselves. After the first two or three trips we are more or less familiar with the outward aspects of the river, and unless one gets busy, the river may lose its charm. So we study first the rules of the game. These be- ing learned thoroughly, we turn our at- tention to the fish and other life to be found in the waters over which we cruise, Usually this is accomplished by “goin’ fishin'. But there are other ways. Hang a light over the stern close to the water some quiet night, make yourself comfortable and watch closely. You will find yourself observing the finny denizens of the deep long after you would otherwise be abed. New species will appear and curious antics will be seen. Once you have done this you are henceforth a fan. Now for the next stunt. If you haven't a microseope procure a power- Waterfront Klotzbach ful reading glass. Then dredge up an oyster or a piece of shell or sponge. (There IS sponge in local waters) Ex- amine it with the glass and meet a. lot of sea people you never have met be- fore. Place the specimen (how scien- tific one becomes) in a tumbier of the water from which it has been removed | and watch it carefully. You will be surprised at the life it shelters. Look at everything that comes from the wa- ters with the glass. You will be sur- prised many times. Aside from the above there are fos- sils to be found on the beaches and new places to be explored. There are birds and fowl to observe, trees to identify, history books to read that will cast glamour over deserted walls and ruins. | Yes, indeed, there is lots to do if one cares to do it. Let’s See If You Can Pick Leaders BY AL DEMAREE, Former Pitcher, New York Giants. It is too early to predict how the majority of fans think the teams in both the National and American Leagues will finish. The votes are coming from previous ballots and the counting and tabulating of them is a tedious job, but the results will be_interesting. ‘The first few hundred ballots counted show that not all regard the Cubs and Athletics as sure bets AN E— to repeat. Hornsby's heel and the hole at third base unless Blair comes through or Bell's arm improves will undoubtedly hurt the Cubs. On the other hand, Grimes' ab- sence from the Pirates' pitching staff and the absence of Traynor and “Little Poison” Waner does not help the Pirates’ chances. In the American League the Yanks look better than they did a year ago and the Browns and Indians look stronger. Come on, fans, vote today and let's see what the final figures will look like.

KANSAS CITY, April 21.—Embar- rassment at her high qualifying score in her first golf tournament, spurred Mrs. O. S. Hill of Kansas City to bet- ter her game, and today she is ready to sail for England with a team of the leading woman golfers of the United States. Seven years ago, after having played golf for her health about three months, Mrs. Hill was persuaded to enter the qualifying round of a tri-State tourna- ment in order to swell the entry list. Her score for 18 holes was 142. She enrolled for lessons the next day, prac- ticed consistently and with practice came titles, national recognition and now a European trip. Mrs. Hill is married and the mother of a 16-year-old son. She left Kansas City for New York Saturday.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE UCH of the membership of the Washington Golf and Country Club is considerably excited over the happenings scheduled for next Sunday, when Maurice J. Me- Carthy, the metropolitan champion, and Frank K. Roesch, former Washington club champion, will attempt to subdue the ambitions of Dave Thomson, the club professional and Henry D. Nichol- son, the club title holder. McCarthy and Roesch two weeks ago issued a broad challeneg to meet any two amateurs about Washington or a Jrofessional,and amateur from the same club. Their challenge went broadcast, but was intercepted before it had gone out of Virginia. Most_of the “regulars” at the Vir- ginia club are down on the line with their wagers, with the current odds of 13 to 10 favoring McCarthy and Roesch. McCarthy's phenomenal hitting and his steady golf of this Spring, together with the fact that he is the holder of the course record, gives his team the edge in the odds. Little Dave Thomson is playing better golf than even before this year and is as deadly as ever with his putting, which is the mainstay of the game of the Washington Scot. 8. E. Golden of Washington now is the record holder for long putts at the Washington club. He had been short on a couple of important appreach putts in a match yesterday afternoon and when he put his second shot_on the sixteenth green, his partner whispered to him, “Be up, Gene, the hole won't move toward you.” So Godden hit his approach putt a lusty swat, and' the ball gained speed as it traveled past the hole until it went over the edge of the green and rolled down the hill out of bounds past the seventeenth tee. Now. Godden declares he didn’t strike that ball hard. Anyhow, he says, “I was up to the hole.” Capt. Watson B. Miller was to pre- sent prizes won in the Phylls Keeler Miller Memorial tourney this afternoon at the Washington Golf and Country Club, after the close of the competi- tion which started early today with nearly two-score entrants in the handi- cap event. All the leading golfers. of the city were entered in the tourney, which is held at Washington each year to honor the memory of the late secre- tary of the District Golf Association. Mrs. Yelverton E. Booker won the tourney last year. Registering a_best ball of 70, Mel Shorey, East Potomac Park profes- sional, ‘and his amateur brother, John, downed Harry G. Pitt, Manor Club amateur, and Al Treder, Manor pro- fessional, in a match at the Manor Club yesterday, winning by 1 up. John Shorey shot a 72 for the low ball of the quartet. Most of the Washington professionals were in Baltimore today playing in an amateur-pro tourney at the Rolling Road Country Club of Catonsville, spoi sored by the Middle Atlantic Profes- sional Golfers’ Association. More than three score golfers com- peted in the selective handicap tour- ney at the Argyle Country Club yester- day, in which 10 prizes were awarded as follows: H. C. Columbus, 83—12—171; Fd McAleer, 85—14—171; G. C. Stevens, 97—25—12;’ J. W. Medley, 95—21—74: Humphrey ~Cissel, 92—18—74; John Reardon, 87—13——T74; Frank = Zuber, 111—35—76; M. Funkhouser, 121—45— 76; H. J. Gallagher, 98—22—76; F. G. Butler, 90—14—76. Schoolboy golfers of the high schools of the Capital are to compete tomor- row at East Potomac Park in a 36-hole medal play event for the interscholastic championship. The tourney will start at 9 am. for the title won last year by Francis Horton of Central High School. Leopold 4 Freudberg and David L. Stern tied” for first place in class A in the handicap tourney played yesterday at Woodmont, Freudberg registering —21—66, while Stern had 96—30—66. Phillip Reifkin was third with 96—28— 68. Henry Burgdorf had a net card of 69, while Howard Nordlinger and Ralph Goldsmith had net scores of 71. Simon Nye had low net in class B with a score of 104—35—69. P. L. Dulcan was second with 112—42—70. Bob Barnett played the last nine| holes at Chevy Chase Saturday in 31 strokes, to register a score of 68 for the round. He was out in 37 and back in 31, in a four-ball match with C. Ashmead Fuller, Robert Stead, jr., and Richard P. Davidson.

GIRARD, Kans, April 21.—The speediest racing dogs of the Nation gathered here today for inauguration of the annual Spring meet of the National Coursing Association. Prizes to winners during the six-day meeting will total approximately $15,000. ‘The richest purses will be given in the National Futurity and the National Waterloo events. Waterloo nominations are limited to 64. Recent rains have softened the ground, which will be of great benefit to the racers’ feet. Frequently the dog's feet become sore from extensive rabbit chases over hard earth. “V”* Grip Is Used By Jimmy Johnston BY SOL METZGER. Here is the “V” grip, used by Jimmy Johnston, United States ama- teur champion. ‘It sent John Ball to the top in nine British title events, Harold Hilton to six here and in Britain, Jerry Travers to five United States titles, Walter J, Travers to four, Alex Smith to three and Chandler Egan to two. It was used by Cecil Leitch and is the grip that Cyril Tolley, ranking British ama- teur, employs. The overlapping grip, the one that Jones, Armour and many other stars use, i5 the old Vardon grip. It has enjoyed popularity for many s sons. But whether it is best for all is a question. Tolley says he uses it because it is the only grip for a player with small hands. Paul Scott, California pro, recommends it for women. This is in keeping with Tolley's argument. ‘There is no real reason for be- lieving the overlapping grip more accurate, if you consider the list of titleholders who use this “V" grip, It puts the four fingers of each hand on the club.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer, [E Washington Senators have taken a place in the front ranks of the major league teams which have started the year by upset- ting some of the dope. One good reason for thelr good showing so far is found in Lloyd Brown, left-handed pitcher. Brown is the only major league hurl- er to pitch two full games so far this, year and win them both. He held the Boston Red Sox to three hits last Tues- day and yesterday scored his second triumph by downing the New York Yankees, 6 to 3. The trilumph put the Senators in a tie for second place in the American League instead of in the second division, where the dope says they belong. ‘The Yankees, losing their fourth straight game, sent Sam Byrd in to re- place Allen Cooke in the outfield with the announcement from Manager Shaw- key that he would remain there against left-handed pitching, but the change brought no improvement. Two Pitchers Go Route. Eight pitchers appeared on the mound for the second time at the start of yes- terday’s six games, and only Brown and Harry Seibold of the Boston Braves re- mained to the end. Seibold won his game from the Brooklyn Robins, 7 to 2, as two Brooklyn errors and a home run with loaded bases provided six runs in the seventh 'mnmfil ‘Young Willis Hudlin of Cleveland and old George Uhle of, Detroit both went nine innings in a fie duel and Cleve- land nosed out a 0 victory. Hud- lin made the nearést approach to Brown's record, for he hurled the greater part of a losing 10-inning duel with Chicago on his first appearance. A pinch double with the bases full by Burnett gave him yesterday's game. 5 Macks Win Third. In the third American League game, the Philadelphia Athletics scored their :hird successive victory by bunching five hits off Dan MacFayden in one inning and downing Red Sox, 5 to 3. MacFay- den went the entire distance, but Ed Rommel, who started for the world's champions, had to give way to Jack Quinn, The New York and Philadelphia Na- tional League Clubs, which have started out as if to revive the title of “hitless " staged another' close duel the Giants winning by a to-1 count. Carl Hubbéll held the Phillies to four hits, two of them by | Tommy Thevenow, while’ the Giants reached “Old Pete” Alexander for the greater part of 10, but still it took a home run by Mel Ott to win the game. A similar battle between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds marked the remaining National League struggle. The Cubs won, 4 to 3, after Cincinnati had scored three runs in one inning off Fred Blake. One game in each league suffered the common early season fate of being rained out. SCHOOLBOY EVENTS LISTED THIS WEEK ‘TODAY.
