JOHNSON BELIEVES BOXMEN ARE RIGHT Nationals Not Awed by A’s This Year—Rain Stops Game With Tribe. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LENTY of work for the Nationals tomorrow. Their first double-header of the year is carded, and with the world champion Athletics, too. They’ll carry the fight to the league leaders in Shibe Park, in Philadelphia, a ball field that for some time has been more or less & jinx to the Nationals. They won but one game there last season. Already this year the Johnson band has scored a victory in Phil- adelphia, though, and doesn’t seem awed by the A’s, as it was in 1929. Then the Nationals regis- tered only 4 wins in 20 starts against the Athletics. Thus far this season they have met the A’s five times and triumphed in four of the meetings. Vastly dif- ferent. For the double-header tomgrrow Manager Walter Johnson has s pitchers none other than Irving Hadley and Ad Liska. Hadley has been an in-and-outer thus far and the same may be said of Liska. But it was Hadley, despite his wildness, that beat the Ath- letics in Philadelphia the last time the figures his selections will make matters interesting for the world cham- are apt to help the Nationals in double header. One is that Buddy Myer, about recovered from his sinus trouble, will be back at second base. Myer, before his iliness, was the best second sacker in the league at bat and afield and fully recovered from the should resume his ranking . Another is that Roy Spencer, ‘who was painfully injured in a collision st the plate with a player during the series, is ready to work again. Roy is a clever catcher and when he is ly may be depended upon to lver at bat.

HICAGO, May 15.—Primo Car-|§ nera, the giant Itallan heavy- welght, who has traveled to and fro over the United States, | 5 scoring 16 knockouts, or technical knock- outs, in as many bouts, today faced in- definite suspension by the National Boxing Association. & Maj. Gen, John V. Clinnin, chairman of the Illinois State Athletic Commis- sion and chairman of a committee ap- pointed by Stanley M. Isaacs of Cin- cinnati, president of the N. B. A, to investigate the 16 knockouts, last night recommended that Carnera and his quartet of managers be indefinitely suspended by the association. Concurring in the recommendation were Walter Liginger of Milwaukee, secretary of the Wisconsin Boxing Commission, and Thomas Donohue of Hartford, Conn., former president of the N. B. A., the other members of the investigating committee. In his report to President Isaacs, Clinnin stated the members of the com- mittee believed a definite “build-up” policy to establish Carnera as one of the outstanding heavyweights of the world had been followed. He added, however, that no direct evidence of a “criminal” conspiracy had been un- earthed. LOGAN, Utah, May 15 (#).—Inform- ed that recommendations have been made to the National Boxing Associa- tion for the indefinite suspension of Primo_Carnera, huge Italian boxer, Leon See, his manager, said that “all we ask is & fair trial before the com- | missioners.” n of exhibition bouts in night he sparred wit heavyweights for one round each.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. MONG the trades which made a good many base ball fans_think that the Brooklyn Robins were get- ting the worst of the bargain were those which brought Glenn Wright and Adolfo Luque to Brooklyn. Wright came in ex- change for a good pitcher, Jess Petty, and was useless last year because of a bad arm. Luque, a veteran of 14 years with the Cin- cinnati Reds, arrived in exchange for some much younger base ball material. ‘These two yesterday went a long way toward justifying Wilbert Robinson’s confidence in them, as they formed an alliance which put the Robins in third place in the National League. Between them they defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 7 to 4. Luque pitched his first complete game of the year and won his second victory in four contests. He has yet to be defeated. “Old Dolf” gave the Reds nine hits, and the only time he allowed a bunch was in the first inning, when four singles and a double steal produced two runs. In the third inning Wright tied the score with a home run with one on base. And in the course of the rest of the game he added two triples and a single and scored one more run. Johnny Frederick completed the Brooklyn triumph with a homer with two on base in the sixth inning. With the aid of a_lot of rain and cold weather, the Brooklyn victory straightened out the National League standing a trifle. All but two of the games in the National League and all in the American League were post- poned. As Brooklyn went into third place, Cincinnati dropped into a tie for fifth, while the St. Louis Cardinals, | vietorfous for the eighth successive time, came up to take fourth. The Cardinals moved into the first division by beating the league-leading New York Giants yesterday by a 7-to-3 count as Al Grabowski and Herman Bell gave just four hits. Bell earned the major share of the laurels and received credit for the victory when he took up the pitching job in the fifth inning and allowed just one hit in five frames. Grabowski had yielded the three runs in _the third when he walked the bases full and allowed Bill Terry to hit a double. St. Louls assaulted Fred Fitzsimmons in the fourth when they followed up a fumble by Eddie Marshall on a 'play that would have retired the side, with a pair of doubles and a home run by Prankie Frisch that resulted in six runs. League by & margin of only 12 points. ST Features dnd Classified HAT is there about the course of the Chevy Chase Club that seems to set certain golfers about Washington right on top of the game and makes them play better than they do at any other links about the Capital? Last year we watched W. Bion Moore, the sweet whistler of the Chevy Chase tournament, who had not shown any- thing to warrant his inclusion as a first- rank golfer up to that time, whittle his way right through the first two rounds and then give Harry Pitt one of the roughest battles the Manorite ever has had in the semi-final round. ;i And yesterday the same Bion Moore, whistling between shots as usual, and playing superb golf, again plucked the magic bunny from his bag of tricks and romped over that fine Chevy Chase course in 73 strokes. For a long time his card led all the others, but toward midafternoon of the alternately rainy and sunny qualifying day, Fred Hoblit- zell, bespectacled and sturdy ace of the Canadian invasion, came through with another 73 to tie Moore. Two of the golfing gentry of Wash- ington seem to be inspired by the Chevy Chase course. Moore is one of them and Harry Pitt is another. Harry has won the tournament for the last two years in a row, and if he plays as well today and tomorrow as he has been playing, he has a good chance to cop again. Pitt met C. Ashmead Fuller, the Chevy Chase Club champion, in the first round today, while Moore played Richard P. Davidson of Chevy Chase. those who had a chance to finish) only one or two normal first flight players were out of the first division. One of these was Page Hufty of Congressional, who has come back on his game and played well yesterday, only to run into one of those unfortunate things that occur on the golf course. Page dis- qualified himself on the eighth hole be- cause he played more than one stroke with the wrong ball before discovering the mistake. Page and his er were playing the lengthy eighth and Hufty played the wrong ball by mistake. He promptly reported it to the golf com- had no ;lrem'.;n\lle under to dis- qualify Hufty. The rain and late starters slowed up the field, and by noon the entrants were more than a half hour behind their scheduled starting time. Those who started late in the afternoon were caught in a heavy downpour of rain, and lowering clouds brought on dark- ness. Reall the situation, the committee made a special ruling it all those who were officially scheduled to start after 1.58 o'clock yesterday might play today in a_special sweep- stakes event, s late today, for those who started late were in con- siderable difficulty with the rain and the early darkness. Moore played early in the day and dodged shower which came at noon, while Hoblitzel &hyed a hole or two in the rain, and others were caught in the thick of the downpour. Among them was Donald Parsons of Chevy Chase, who played the first nine in 35 and then took 42 to cover the final nine. But the late starters were the men 5 SU g AN : ‘ PAGE D-1 in real hard luck. Just before 6 o'clock the rain started to do its stuff in dead earnest, and within 10 minutes there was a real, honest-to-goodness storm in progress, with thunder and everything. As it turned out, several 81s tied for last place in the first flight, and as there was no time for a play-off, a draw was ordered. Henry D. Nicholson of Washington and Richard P. Davidson of Chevy Chase were the lucky ones to be drawn into the first flight. Cards of 87 qualified for the last flight, and Ray Farrell of Manor pulled a hat trick to get in. After dabbling about in traps at the fifth hole, he holed an ex- plosion shot from the sand. Albert R. MacKenzie, Columbia vet- eran, had a fine last nine of 35 to score a_78, after a poor out nine of 43. Harry Pitt needed even 4s on the last four "holes to win the medal with a score of 72, but he hooked into deep rough on the fifteenth to score a 5, and fmd’]‘. short putt on the eighteenth or 8 74, ‘Woman golfers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club were El:ging today in an 18-hole medal play dicap event, one of the usual weekly tourneys of the club. Professional golfers of the Midatlantic district are to go over to the Maryland Country Club next Monday to compete in a 36-hole sweepstakes golf event, under the auspices of the Middle At- lantic Professional Golfers’ Association. ‘While the Chevy Chase tournament is in progress many of the male players and not a few women are watching closely the results of the Walker Cup team matches, in which two Washing- ton boys are playing today. Roland R. MacKenzie of Columbia is & son of Albert R. MacKenzie, one of the competitors in the Chevy Chase event, and only three years back George J. Voigt, another Walker Cup team mem- ber, won the qualifying medal at Chevy Chase with a 69 and then went through to win the tournament. On behalf of the Beaver Dam Coun- try Club, M. H. Maier, chairman of the club golf committee, has made an offi- cial protest against alleged changing of the handicap of Mrs. J. O. of Bannockburn immediately prior to the competition for women Monday and Tuesday at Indian Spring. Mrs. Ora Emge of Beaver Dam finished in sec- O hex claime,shat Mra. Rhyne played ! J P! in the Keeler Memorial tourney a few weeks ago with a 14 handicap, and that her handicap was 16 in the tourney this week. A ruling already has been made by the Women's District Golf Association, f| which took the matter up with Ban- nockburn _ authorities, obtained ~Mrs. Rhyne's five best scores, and found that they gave her an average of a little more than 16 handicap.
