B8 NETS MORE THAN 2 BASES PER SAFETY Big Factor in Nationals’ Scoring—Rain of Swats Beats Browns, 13-5. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILE the Washington club had Joe Engle, its lone scout, casting about des- perately for a hard hit- ter swining from the right side, it already had one within its ranks, it turns out. Joe Cronin is the boy. The husky young shortstop, who batted for only a mark of 282 last year, is walloping all kinds of pitching this year and today has a swatting average of .354 for this young 1930 campaign. With four healthy hits in five times at bat yesterday, while the Nationals were lambasting the Browns, 13 to 5, Joe boosted his rating just 52 points. If Engel can dig up a right-hander hitting harder than Cronin is at present, he should be crowned king of all scouts. Cronin's hitting is all the more Te- markable in that his 17 safeties have been good for 36 bases, an average of more than two bases per safety. Among the hits have been three homers. two triples and six doubles. This hitting was done in nine games, too, for in five the Nationals have played he failed to O ow valusble Cronin's hitting has been to the club is revealed in the scor- ing he has done and the number of runs e has driven across the plate. Joe has dented the counting block 14 times and been credited with shoving 19 runs over. As he has made three home runs, it will be seen that the young fellow has been responsible for 16 tallies registered by teammates. Joe's a good man to have around the ball club. Joe is setting a fast pace afield as well as at bat. He has gobbled chances all over the shortfield in great style. He made one error yesterday, but took fine care of eight other chances that came his and came through with two par- ticularly good plays. His pivot in the side-retiring double play that Joe Judge started with a spectacular grab of Lu Blue's hot grounder in the eighth was a brilliant bit of work. It was in the ninth, though, that the Nationals' short- stop was at his best. Then he scurried back on the grass to get Schulte's siz- zling drive and though off balance fol- lowed with a remarkable throw to Judge to_nail his man. ‘It was & super-play, but then Cronin is pulling super-plays these days. NOTHER Joe shared batting honors with Joe Cronin in the opener of the series with the Browns. Joe Judge picked up four hits in five times at bat and made them in succes- sion. Not until his last turn at the plate did he fail to drive the ball to safety. One of the hits was a two-bagger and one a nifty bunt toward third that was put down so well Blackie O'Rourke made no_effort to throw after retrieving thel ball. Judge, by the way, after a poor very respectable .360. AM JONES, the somber squire of ‘Woodsfield, making his second start of the season, was somewhat more im- pressive than in his first. He was nicked for only seven safeties, spread over three innings, and two passes. Sam had two r rounds. Although the Browns got m one run off him in the first with Blue's triple and Kress' single, between which two outs were sandwiched, every time they met the ball in the round they slammed it savagely. Only fine support saved Sam from a deal of pun- ishment at the outset of the fray. He faltered again in the fourth when the Browns reached him for four hits and as many runs. Only two of the runs were earned, though, and as the Nationais were well ahead at the time it di¢ not matter much. Thereafter, all the Browns got were Melillo's single with two down in the sixth, a pass to Mc- Neely with one out in the seventh and another pass to O'Rourke at the start of the eighth. SPORTS.

ES MOINES, Iowa, May 3.— Apparently only the turnstile approval of base ball fans now is needed to make night base ball under artificial lighting & success. The Des Moines and Wichita, Kans., clubs of the Western League last night demonstrated before nearly 12,000 spec- tators that mechanically the game may be played as well under powerful lights as in the sunlight—and probably bet- ter than on gray days. | Des Moines defeated the league-lead- | ing Wichita club, 13 to 6, by a wild | first inning, which netted 11 runs, but ! there was no indication that the un- usual conditions were responsible. The pitching was as good as in the daytime, and the players handled ground balls and throws without hesitation. Wichita played errorless base ball, while Des Moines was charged with four mis- plays. Of the errors made by Des, Moines, all were in the infield, outfield- | ers having no difficulty with towering fifes. Both of the team managers, Claude Davenport of Des Moines and Art Griggs of Wichita, were enthusiastic over the prospect of regular night at- tractions. Griggs believed a little more light would improve the game, while Davenport,_agreed with the opinion_of E. Lee Keyser, president of the Des Moines club, that night contests would be the salvation of minor league base ball. So enthusiastic was Keyser, who has planned and experimented for seven years with lighting systems suitable for night base ball, that he decided today's contest_would be called at 8 p.m., in- stead of in the afternoon as scheduled. —_ e | By the Assoclated Press. | CHICAGO, May 3—Gene Sarazen, SPORTS.

FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer, | EATS of heavy hitting are be- coming so common in the major leagues that few of them can excite much comment, while the few pitchers who are able to hold the sluggers in check are earning most of the season’s glory. For this reason, Jess Petty of Pitts- burgh and Wesley Ferrell of Cleve- land stand out as the leading perform- ers in the eight games played in the two big leagues yesterday. Petty took the mound against the Boston Braves with none out and the bases full in the ninth inning yesterday and a slim 3-to-2 lead to protect. He did the job by fanning one batsman and forcing another to hit into a double play, start- ing it himself. Ferrell, meeting the Boston Red Sox, gave up just three hits in seven innings before he yielded the job to Ken Hollo- way, but ‘his team was trailing, 3-2. The Indians scored six runs in the last two innifigs to gain an 8-to-3 victory. The notable feature of the game was the absence of Joe Sewell for the first TAKE EVENTS‘ time after 1,102 games.

And less often does it fall to a man to | win three in a row, among them the final round of a major tournament. That honor belongs to Miller B. Ste- | | vinson, and as the District amateur | | champion looks back on those hectic | battles in the Washington Golf and | Country Club tournament yesterday he gives thanks to the break he got on | the extra hole in the final which en- abled him to get the winning par 4 to establish the one-hole margin he had over young Henry D. Nicholson. | " Just what it was that Stevinson's ball struck, no one seems to know, but it was plain to the several hundred per- | sons gathered around the first tee that | Stevinson had had an unusual break. | | ‘Ordinarily a ball rolling as fast as that | one was going far out of bounds. But Stevinson’s shot hit something near the | out-of-bounds line and kicked back into | the rough, giving him a shot at the \ reen. E"A1l that had gone before was merely a prelude to that amazing nineteenth | hole. For a while, as the tide of battle | swayed back and forth, it looked s if Stevinson would win, even though he turned 1 down to the young Washing- fon champion. Then at the seventeenth it scemed that Nicholson was to go 1 up. But Stevinson knocked in a 15-foot putt. And then at the ecighteenth it Seemed that Stevinson would win again, for he played a_masterful hooked iron shot from a difficult lie behind a row of trees to the cighteenth green, only to see the ball kick off the slope and leave him a hard clip shot. Anyhow they finished all even, even though | they played mediocer golf. And it culminated on that nineteenth | hote. where Nicholson, with the honor, | pushed his tee shot to the right and | | the ball, catching the down curl of a | hill, came to rest on the edge of a ditch, | | leaving him a very hard shot to th, green. Stevinson then took an iron to | ! play the ball down the middle and | nooked it. It hit something and | bounced back into the high grass | | Nicholson failed to get on the green with his second shot and Stevinson | played a fine run-up_which left him a | 10-footer for a 3. He won the hole and the match with a 4. | | "'In the semi-final Stevinson won his | second extra-hole contest of the tourna- | ment when he rattled his ball into the | cup on the twenty-second hole for a Ibirdie 4 to beat Willlam J.
