Goslin’s PUNCH IS ASSURED 'AS GOOSE PICKS UP Attains 300 Class After Battle—Nats Win Third Straight From A’s. BY JOHN B. KELLER. FTER two weeks of strug- gling Goose Goslin at last is in the .300 hitting class, which may mean much to the Nationals during the three- game series with the Yankees scheduled to open in Griffith Stadium this afternoon. These Yankees, while they have not been setting the league afire this Spring, are capable of doing a deal of hitting themselves, and a fellow who can sting the ball as .the Goose has during the past three days is a mighty handy one to have around when Bob Shaw- key's bunch is encountered. In resent-day base ball the only hing to overcome hard hitting is harder hitting. Goslin never has been noted as a fast starter at bat, but this year he was more sluggish than usual in swinging into his accustomed stride. It looks as though he's there mnow, however. The pitchers of the Athletics were just what the Goose needed to_boost his swatting mark, it seems. Before the Sorld champions came o town, Goslin could show an average of only .161. ‘While the A's were being taken for three in a row, thoygh, the Goose lashed the ball so savagely that now he boasts an average of .319. Hits .692 Against A's. All Goslin did during the series with Mack’s mangled minions was_ collect 9 hits in 13 times at bat. That was slamming at a rate of .692. The big punch of the Washington club made three safeties in each of the three games. They were hec''hy ones, too, totaling 18 bases. The lot included one double, one triple and two homers. The hit every pitcher except one he faced in the series. The lone exception is Rube Walberg. Goslin went to the plate but once while the left-hander was at work and drew a . The venerable John Picus Quinn, meur!nowned Robert Moses Grove, the rookies Glenn Liebhardt, jr, and Al Mahon and one of the heroes of the last world serles, Howard Ehmke, were eled by the Wild Goose of the mac. Goslin has been playing brilliantly afleld since the start of the campaign. Now that he hml:k‘l &neNhlallng l:trlde. he is likely to e Nationals even more dln};emul to tackle than they have been to date. IOME remarkable walloping of the three engagemen tered 41 hits for 62 bases. It averaged .387. The A's in 103 times at bat got but 27 hits for an average of .262. *Twas. never like that last season when the Meackian hézrde I;nmmughlhod over everything that got way. Goslin contributed heavily the Washington attack in the series that ended yesterday, but several other Na- tionals helped plenty. Buddy Myer PORTS | HOW THEY STAND I AMERICAN LEAGUE.

LUBS APPEAR WEAK ONEARLY RETURNS Hard Hit by Injuries, Team Must Hustle to Repeat in National League. BY PAUL MICKELSON. Assoctated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, April 28.—The first two weeks hardly can be taken seriously in a major league base ball campaign, but this year they have definitely established the fact that Joe McCarthy's Cubs will have to recover quickly and so some great hustling if they are to repeat their Na- tional League championship. Injuries have jinxed the team from the start and the end still is far from sight. Rogers Hornsby still is lame from the spur growth on his right heel and his batting punch may be misging from fhe team for a month and bly the rest of the season, despite the cheerful reports of examining physiclans. Lester Bell, a big Cub investment in the attempt to plug up the weak third base post, still 15 suffering from a lame arm and he, too, may not &t in any more games than the “Rajah.” Added Bty b e b and the of pro; g rookies, obtained over Winter to bolster batted at a .545 clip, Sam Rice, who was in but two of the games, and Joe Judge each hit for .500, while Ossie Bluege, after a slow beginning, banged ge ball for .400. Good, sound socking ere. ILL BARRETT, new right-hand hitting outfielder, procured from Boston in exchange for Earl Webb, reported yesterday and was in uniform for practice. Bill naturally is tickled to be with a club_that seems to be somewhere. For some years he been with outfits that never got thelr heads above water. So this is apt to make Barrett a better ball player than he has been for some time, Conditions were not so good for Bill when he was with the White Sox, and being traded to a tail-end club last season did not help him any. He sees a chance now, though, to really make md listening to Bill one believes sxx wins in a row and the last three over the world champion Athletics. That's something for a club that mever had a winning peranmgs as good 88 .500 from the first week of the 1928 campaign until the second day of the cuwrrent championship race in American ague. No wonder the Nationals are salling along in front. They are playing good all-around base ball and well deserve to be where they are. Already they have “Hckedd - g:: M&“r:uf.fizr often as they en cam) When & dub“?hn t.h':ke {gur oi’“&% games world champs ought mufll\u the league. JAUNTED by a three-run lead . the A's got off Bam Jones yester- day, the Nationals stepped out to chase Walberg from the hill and forge ahead in the second inning, to stay there the remainder of the way. They got two tallies off the left-hander in the first frame when a single by Myer followed successive passes to Loepp, Rice and Goslin and another run off him in the second with a single by Ruel, a pass to Jones and & one-baser by Rice. Ehmke relieved Walberg and a single by Gos- 1in and Myer's sacrifice fly pushed over two more runners the left-hander had left on the runway. Thereafter the Nationals hammered Enhmke for 11 safeties, including Gos- lin’s second horer of the season, to make their game ‘otal amount to 15 and their victory figures read 11 to 6, atly to the satisfaction of the more han 25,000 fans, a record crowd for the season, present. JON!S, making his season debut, started poorly, a walk, a double, a triple and a sacrifice fly giving the A’s three runs in the first session. During the next six innings, though, he yielded only five hits, two passes and two runs. Sam was tiring fast in the seventh. so e e Ad Liska was warned up and sent in to | & pitch the last two rounds. 1In the eighth, the A’s nicked the submatiner for two hits and their iast run, but the run was unearned, for Judge kicked a |F play that should have meant & side-re- tiring out. HERE was much discussion between pitchers and umpires over the new balk rule. The officials found it nec- essary to deliver a lecture on the subject to each boxman. Three balks called, two on Jones and one on Ehmke. FTER the A's seventh batting turn, |ii Connfe Mack conceded victory to the Nationals and sendt in a flock of second-stringers. Schang and McNair supplanted Bishop, Haas, Cochrane and Boley. In the eighth Cramer replaced Simmons in left. \ 'OTHING more of the A's will be seen by the Nationals until May 16. Then the Johnson band will play were | Loep) ‘Willlams, Harris, | Ruel the pitching staff, is not so promising now. No Chance to Stall. Added to all these “bearish” ments has been the break weather. Of all the teams in the Na- tional League, the Cubs need stalling time, Yet they are the only ones in the circuit to be denied it. They have plaved every day since the -season opened and today rest on the red side of the ledger with six won and seven lost. Even Manager McCarthy is dublous about Hornsby's quick return to t.hs line-up. In the few times the “Rajah has been used as a pinch hitter his limp has been very noticeable. With his usual optimism he advises he will be back “very soon” and that he is al- most ready, but day after day he re- mains on the bench, with the Cubs starving for that extra punch he wield- ed last season when a run or two meant the difference between defeat and vic- ‘Znot.her operation on the heel would not surprise any one familiar wifh his ailment. And another operation would mean his definite absence for two months and probably McCarthy's fond hopes of another championship. H’eh Leave Imprint. Peculiarly enough, the world series skirmish with the Athletics seems to have left its imprints on the team. All last season the Cubs were deadly southpaw pitchers. “Lefty” Grove of the Athletics stopped that habit and now the Cubs do not appear able to win from left-handers. ‘But Manager McCarthy and his team are fighting to take the start phiolo- sophically. “It looks like we are getting all the bad breaks now,” said Marse Joe. “But a bad start usually means a great finish, Anyway, seven defeats in thirteen starts against teams like St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh isn’t so bad for our con- dition. My pitchers aren’t quite ready yet, but we shouldn’t worry too much. We lost several games by bad breaks, t0o.” WESTERN LEAGUE. Denver. 2-3;_Oklahoma City, 1 1. Wichita, 7: Puebio, 4.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, April 28.—Tuffy Grifiths, Sioux City, Iowa, heavyweight, this week will try to erase one of the most serious blots on his fistic record. Griffiths, who, some experts have de- clared, is destined to be champlion of the world, meets Jack Gagnon, Boston heavyweight, in a return bout at the Chicago Stadium Wednesday night. It was Gagnon_who halted Griffiths when the Sioux City puhcher was bowling over all opposition early this year. The Boston heavy stopped Griffiths in six rounds at Philadelphia. Tuffy is out to avenge that unexpected defeat and the betting fraternity probably will make him the favorite before ring time. Heavyweights also hold the spotlight at Philadelphia tonight, Tommy Lough- ran, retired light heavyweight champion, meeting Ernie Schaaf of Boston in the top ten rounder.

DES MOINES, April 28.—Track coaches at the Drake relay games were quite unanimous in the opinion that Tom Warne of Northwestern would break the world pole vault record before the end of the current season. Sabin Carr's world mark was the only one that came near be- mxshltt/ered in the games Saturday, though nine meet records fell and Maj. John L. Griffith, who founded the Drake event 21 years ago, de- clared it was by far the best of all the meet. No sooner had Warne won the le vault at 13 feet and 11 inches he had the bar hoisted to 14 2; one-half inch above Carr's top height. Despite a bad pull up he had the height on' his second vault and again on the third he made it, but both times the standards were too far removed from the take off and Warne displaced the bar as he was coming down. Warne, & junior, has increased his vault more than a full foot since en- tering Northwestern and Frank Hill, the Purple coach, believes he is good for 14 4 before he finishes collegiate competition.

The two di- visions will play independently of each other during the season with a play- off series at the end to determine the champion. John J. O'Brien was re-slected presi- dent of the league and will head both divisions. Either six or eight cities will be rep- resented in each section. Fort Wayne, Chicago, Cleveland and probably Rochester of last year's league will form the nucleus of the Western division. ‘The conferees adopted a rookie rule, calling for two rookies to be in the game at all times.

MEXICO CITY, April 28 (#).—Tom- my White, American boxer, and Ignacio Ara fought 10 rounds to a draw in the bullring here. White excelled Ara in infighting, but the latter put up a clever defense, € | two started on his thirteenth move, when he played Kt-B3, instead of F-Q3. This move, followed later by B-B3, would have given Whitaker a decided advan- tage, as his pawns, all eight on the board, as against four for his oppo- nent, would have been frresistible, and Sir George would still have been on the defensive, without a winning attack. Another suggestion is that 17B-B7 should have been played, with at least drawing probabilities. The score of this game was published last week.

The Glants suffered severely from pad Spring training weather and seemed due for a lot of early beatings, where- upon they stepped to the front by winning seven successive games, and now are the only undefeated team in either major league. The Giants have shown everything & club needs to win a pennant. The first three games were close, but effective pitching and fine flelding lee them the e. Then they started hitting and still retained the other points of advane tage. Four Giant pitchers have gone the full distance in the seven games while the other three could easily have lasted.
