Since | their winning streak of eight| games the Nats have been dizzy | afield, and the dizziness has| proved costly. Three defeats in | the last four games isn’'t so good for a club that burned up the| American League for two weeks. Of course, the Johnson band was not| xpected to maintain its surprising pace, |8 but it certainly was not expected to run| into losing ways through sloppy play | afield. Before the season opened the | Nationals were regarded strong defen- | sively, if nothing else, and that they | were in the early games. The bottom has dropped out of their play the last| few days, though, and with the defense | sagging, pitching and hitting also have | sagged. In their last four games the Na- tionals have fielded at only a .949 clip. That's not big league fielding by any means. Nine errors were made in the games by the home side. In the four| games the opposition tailied 26 times, and 10 of the tallies resulted from the Nationals’ erratic play. The Washington ball club is capable of flelding excellently. Its defense of the past four days is not a fair ex- ample of its strength afield. Once it pulls fitself together again, it should ‘win a fair share of its games. It can't expect to do this, though, when its layers aimlessly and witlessly heave the 1l around. LD Sam Rice carries on. He's been in 15 games now and hit safely in each. He made sure of preserving his | Braxt Tecord yesterday by whacking a one- baser in the first inning. Another was added to his lot in the ninth. Inci- dentally, this second safety gave Sam an | § average of .667 for the game and boosted his season mark to .371. Quite a year the old man is starting.

Contrasts 0Id Self. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, May 5.—The well-dressed young man from Germany, Herr Max Schm-llng, is back in America today, in happy quest of fistiana’s richest prize, the heavy- weight championship. Loking more than ever like the Jack Dempsey of 10 years ago, the smiling young Teuton bowed his way into the United States yes- terday, through lanes of shouting countrymen, solid German citi- zens and fraus, who gathered, 4,000 strong, on the pier of the liner New York. The air was filled with gutteral “Hoch's” and “Hurrah Mock’s” and the German zouth was vastly pleased and considerably mauled before he could get_away. ‘The suave, poised youth who chose deliberately to mix wuh the crowd rather than sneak ashore and avoid the cheering countrymen who must have ruen lz dawn to greet the early boat, contrast to the shy, Trightened T who slipped unan- nounced into ‘New York for the Arst time two years ago. With his German manager, $10 and 10 words of English between them, Schmeling then set out quietly to win lace am the top-ranking heavy- ocked out Joe Monte, beat Joe Seyka and became an ove: night sensation by topping rugge: 6| ny Risko. Then he whipped Paulino Uzcudun, became entangled in contro- versies with m: rs and promoters and sailed for home. A Senatorial Swell. Now he is back to fight Jack Sharkey in the Yankee Stadium June 12 for the heavyweight title that has been vacant since Gene Tunney retired two years 1go. He carried 19 pleces of luggage wit him this trip, several companions, Ger- man ne ppermen, a dachshund pup and a half dozen cuckoo clocks that ;ufi:chheyemdaymnmopm rlin. It is the personal improvement in Schmeling, however, that is so notice- able. He shakes hands and mixes with all the aplomb and self-assurance of Dempuy, most popular of all cham- pions, talks freely and excitedly in fairly good English, and is interested in eve!‘! one and everything. and plain shirts, some of brown kml n-v%‘bee'x.:h- r:phced by 20 tailored u:g; sembles run tastefully from down 3 blues and th | Joe Dundee, word he ltl’llnled wflh Iln'.tl he finally mastered it—he will leave Tuesday lor ,_at Johnson City, near Binghamton, N. Y., to start training, with half a dozen s partners. Layoff Won't Hurt Him. Max says he will beat Bhuk!y—hw he won't kmw until he gets in the ring. A year's layoff won't hurt him, because he is only 24 and has boxed 104 rounds of exhibitions since whipping Paulino here last June. He is excited about his brief career as a movie hero in a Ger- man picture, but doesn't plan to appear in another. If he whlpa Sharkey he wants to defend his title against Demp- sey here in September, and if the the old man mauler stays in retirement he will tackle the best man avallable. Max is not enthusiastic about fighting in Germany and does not believe that Europe is ready for the heavyweight ex- travaganzas America is accustomed to stage. He is very serlous about the fact that he is the first German ever to gght E’:;o the big prize mg only the sec- rges Carpentier was the first—to challemge for the heavy- weight crown in modern ring times.

These three are the Brooklyn Robins, St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians. Brooklyn and the Cardinals have staged a series of slugging battles at St. Louis that never were decided until the final putout was made, but on each oc- casion the Robins came out ahead by a run or two to sweep the four-game series and to carry their winning streak to seven games. A double victory yester- day put the Robins in fourth place in the National League standing.

He also left a two- Pajls-and-one-strike count on the batter w9, and was charged with the pass that Burke completed. Burke did not last long. He picked up Coffman’s bunt after Manion walked and, though quite near third base with an easy force play in sight, fired the ball in the general direction of Bluege with all his power. The throw was wide, the ball sailed to the left fleld corner and all hands scored.

Thereafter, Hadley pitched a sterling game.
