KELLER. is the best skit put on these days by the rollick- ing Nationals. Eight times have AKING the Macks moan or | 5 M wrecking world champlons\ the Washington troupers appeared | § in this drama and but once was their performance a rank failure. When they first attempted it, stage | fright got the better of them and | the show went blooie, but ever since the production has been | highly successful. The offering xn\ Griffith Stadium yesterday was a| brilliant effort with a 16-to-5/fo by the more than 12,000 in me audience. It's a fact. The Nationals have wi I’l seven of eight games played with the | werld champion Athletics this season | and won them in succession, too. What's_more, the Nationals have tri- umphed in their last four and as the Indians were knocked for a double loop | yesterday by the White Sox the Wash- | ington club now is heading the pro-| cession in its league by two full games. That affair yesterday for a few in- Ruugs promised to be a slap-bang battle ‘with both elubs piling up Tuns, for after the Nationals jumped into what seemed a healthy lead in the third round the‘ A’s came right back in the fourth to make the contest keen once more. Fol- lowing that fourth-frame flare-up, however, the A's were complete wash- outs while the Nationals continued to rifie hits and pile up tallies at an amazing rate. West Handy With Bat. Sam West was the big boy of the | Bicker:” He personally ac- counted for enough runs to lick the | 8yTdrl With a homer, double | Sumnk D ‘Washington side.

It was his third homer of the season, a loft over the right fleld wall, that virtually clinched the game for the Nationals for it came in the figth inning, with two on and | put his club so far in front the A's just about figured themselves out of the running. ‘The Nationals did their hitting at the expense of three pitchers, all right- handers. Bill Shores started, but he == nicked for a run in round one and n ivund three was chased by a five- hit bombardment that netted four more scores and left two runners on to be sent home by West's siagle off Ed Rommel, who finished the inning. Off Lee Roy Mahaffey, who completed the game, the Nationals got enough safeties to raise their total for the day to 14 and twice they clustered hits off Ma- mey for good counts. “A change in Washington pitching was needed, too, for Fred Marberry, started, wilted after a dash around base paths in-the third inning and blasted from the hill by four suc- Qulve hits before a Mackman was re- tired in the fourth. One of these blows was & homer socked into the open stand back of left field by Jimmy Foxx. Thh seventh homer of the campa! Foxx was good for two tallies, for A] Simmons had just made one of the four singles he clouted to give him a perfect da Thomas Fine as Rescuer. Myles Thomas was rushed to Mar- berry's rescue and he proved a tip-top rescuer. With a sacrifice fly from Spencer Harrls' bat, the A's got over | one of the men Marberry had left on, But Thomas fanned Max Bishop to end | the dizzy session and after that he had | the world champions nibbling out of his hand. Three singles, two of them scratchy ones by Simmons, spread over | as many innings, were all gleaned off Myles in six rounds by the Macks, who previously had slammed Marberry for ‘seven, West's double, Foxx's boot of Rice's grounder, Goslin’s stroll and the force- out of the Goose by Judge accounted | for a Washington run right off the e but the A’s came back in the second to get two tallles with singles by Simmons, Miller and McNair and West's wild return through the infield of the last hit. Then came the big home inning. With ong gone in the third, Goslin | walked. " Singles by Judge and Myer followed and Cronin got on through a | flelder’s choice. Bluege, Spencer and Marberry singled in succession and Rommel sssumed Shore’s place on the | *Bi mound. West greeted Rommel with a one-baser that checked in the fifth and g sixth runs of the lively session. | 31 The bombardment of Marberry in the | Bu | iMyatt fourth put the A’s uncomfortably close, but the Nationals drew away from the foe nicely in the fifth. Bluege walked, | Spencer got on when his grounder was | fumbled by Dykes and after Thomn; fanned, West smote his homer.

IGHT more days, including today, the Nationals have remaining in the current home stand, and five of these days promise to be pretty active ones for the wearers of the Washington base ball uniform. In these five days, seven games are to be played, one with the Athletics this afternoon and the others with the Red Sox. _Double-headers are listed with the Hub clan for Wednesday and Thursday and single engagements for Saturday and next Sunday. Tomorrow and Tuesday are to be idle days unless rain forces the use of one of them for disposal of today's slated tilt. Friday also will be a day of rest for the boys if the weather is fair beforehand. But on playing days the Natlonals will have all they want to care for. Facing the Red Sox in six games on four playing days is not to be regarded & picnic for any club at present. Time was when a long series with the Boston bunch was looked upon as a pleasant affair by the opponents of the Red Sox. It usually meant a fine boost in stand- ing. Not so now the way the rejuve- nated Boston Club is traveling. The Red Sox of this year take a deal of beating. They are not hitting so strongly, these Red Sox, but they have a pitching staff that isn't being hit strongly, which complicates matters for any club tack- ling them. They have taken more de- feats by one run in small-score games than any other club in the circuit which speaks well for their hurling strength. The Boston bunch may not get many tallies, but it doesn’t yleld many. The six clashes with the Red Sox be- fore the Nationals :et out of Griffith Stadium are apt lo keenly fought. HILE the Nlthlull are battling with the Boston outfit that has been one of the surprises of the American League this Spring, Athletics and Yankees will fly at one another in Philadelphia and New York. Three successive double-headers and seven games in all are to be played by these great rivals. Thursday and Friday there will be twin bills in Shibe Park and on Saturday a two-ply affair in Yankee Stadium. The series will end next Sunday with a single engagement in_Col. Jake Ruppert's ball yard. Right now the Athletics do not ap- pear so formidable, while the Yankees after a sluggish start have been going at a good clip for two weeks. Bob Shawkey’s club has triumphed in nine of its last dozen games. In their last dozen starts the A’s have been trimmed five times. And ’tis rumored the Yanks are priming for the A’s this time. The fur should fly in the seven nmu While these bitter rivals are pling in struggle to the finish the N-- tionals will have a great opportunity to put themselves well out in front of the procession. But to do so they'll have to keep their heads up and never ease in their fighting with Heinle Wag- ner's peppery Boston brlnd le. MONG the sterling performers of the 1930 assortment of pitchers, reg- ister Sam Jones, the somber squire of Woodsfleld. Deliberate in training, the dean of the Washington pitching corps waited long before stepping in to start a game and since has taken plenty of rest between appearances on the hill, but his record is the best of the staff. Four wins in as many starts, Jones shows, and three tlmu has he gone the route. In his first effort, that against the A’s here on April 27, Jones pitched seven innings and was credited with victory. He was nicked for seven hits and granted four passes that netted the opposition five runs. Five days later he went the route against the Browns and gave them seven hits and two passes for five tallies. The Browns had just two scoring innings at his expense. On May 3 he went all the way against the Tigers, allowing them eight hits and two s for flve mark- ers. And last Thursday he pitched brilliantly against the usually hard-hlt~ ting Indians, holding them to two runs, despite the 10 hits they made. Half of the hits were clustered in the Tribe's two scoring rounds. Evidently Jones, with a little more rest between starts than the younger pitchers are granted, ought to be a great help to his club this year. LOYD BROWN, left-hander, who was quickly brushed aside by the Indians last Tuesday, is slated to come back to the box again this aft- ernoon as the Natlonals seek their eighth successive victory over the Ath- letics. Brown's showing against the Tribe may be discounted. He has pitched too well to have last Tuesday's lacing count heavily against him. He was credited with a win over the Ath- letics here last month, although he was lifted in the ninth tnning of 1he game. The A’s made 13 hits off him, but got only four runms, scoring when n;;y clustered seven safeties in an in- ning. The A's have their entire pitching staff here and as Connie Mack has a abit of using a hurler who has pitched the day before, any one is likely to start for the world champions. How- ever, it is Mkely Connie will select the left-handed Bob Grove or Howard Ehmke, who produces a great game on occaslons. 'ALTER F. DUSCH, 59-year-old re- tired real estate operator of Norfolk, who was fatally stricken by a heart attack while seated in a box near the Nationals’ dugout when Sam West hit & homer in the fifth inning yester- day, was an ardent base ball fan and paid frequent visits to Griffith Stadium. He also had attended the last six world series. The deceased was a close friend of President Clark Griffith of the Na- tionals and before the game vesterday visited the executive to discuss with him some likely base ball talent to be found in the Virginia colleges.

YALE AGAIN WINS CARNEGIE CUP RACE Registers Sixth Victory by Flashy Showing Over Prince- ton and Cornell. By the Associated Press. RINCETON, N. J, May 17— Yale's smooth and high-powered varsity crew handed an artistic trimming to the husky eights of Cornell and Princeton today to win the Carnegie Cup regatta for the sixth time in its nine-year history. Shooting over the placid surface of Lake Carnegie, the speedy Yale eight beat Cornell's heavy crew by three lengths, with Princeton another length behind in third place. Yale also rowed away with the honors in the junior varsity race, finishing two lengths ahead of Princeton. Cornell, with its No. 3 man, H. O. Algeltinger, of York, Pa., rowed completely out and unable to pull his oar at all for the last quarter mile, trailed Princeton three and a half lengths after looking like a winner in the early stages. Princeton grabbed a share of the victory spoils when its brilliant fresh- man_crew, stroked by Arthur Strang of Denver, Colo., finished four full lengths ahead of Cornell in the opening event. Yale finished three and a half lengths behind Cornell. In the varsity race Princeton got the jump, but soon fell back, and rnell, rowing a short, quick stroke, held a quarter of a length lead over Yale at the half-mile point. With its stroke, Woody Tappen of Pleasantville, N. Y., gauging his pace to perfection, Yale collared Cornell soon after passing the half-mile mark and held a slim quarter length advantage at the mile. From that.point on to the finish of the mile-and-three-quar- ter pull, Yale fairly shot ahead. For the benefit of the 7,000 persons clustered around the finish line, Tappen put on a great closing sprint at 38 strokes to the minute. Yale's time of 9 minutes 20 3-10 seconds is the fastest ever turned in over the Carnegie Lake course in this regatta. ‘The order of finish and the times— distance of all races a mile and three- quarters: VARSITY—Yale, gnas: Cornell, § Princeton, 9 i 9 minutes 3203-10 sec- minutes 322-10 seconds; s 351-10 seconds.

(Continued From First Page.) thought to be all through and washed up some years ago. Few thought he would ever come back to racing great- ness. Balked in his main ambition when he was in his prime just after the war, he finally had his chance this year. Gallant Fox was the vehicle waiting for a rider who could reclaim some of the past glory that belonged to Sir Barton and Man O’ War. Riding Gal lant Fox, Sande won the Wood Me- morial. The next stop was the Preak- ness and once again Sande carried his entry on through to victory in a hard drive against Crack Brigade. It was in this Preakness race Gallant Fox proved he could come from behind to run one of the fastest quarters in history and win. Derby Third Stop. Sande’s third stop with Gallant Fox was the Kentucky Derby. He was the big favorite, but a big crowd spent all the forenoon trying to pick some horse that could beat him. The South and the West doesn’t like the East and the Boluth and the West didn’t like the price. After all, Gallant Fox had only beaten Crack Brigade a half length in the Preakness. But Gallant Fox was a different horse today. There was no question after the start as to what horse the Earl of Derby would present the cup. His lordship came into the club house for a sandwich and whatever else he needed for the moment at 1 o'clock. In the company of Joseph Widener he entered the grandstand at 1:30 and those who recognized his presence stood up and gave him a cheer. He responded by lifting a British bowler, also named after one of his an. cestors, and making a number of bows. There was nothing high-hat about the Earl of Derby. In fact, there is noth- ing high-hat about the bowler named after his ancestor. Just a few hours later he was out in front presenting the gold cup to the winner of the fifty- sixth Kentucky Derby, which, after all, is a mere infant compared to the Derl that his ancestor started back in the time when the bow and arrow was far more important than the brashie and the niblick, the base ball bat or the forward pass. Earl Makes Hit. ‘The Earl of Derby made a big hit all along the Kentucky line. They know & sportsman down here as far as ihey can see him, and Earl of Derby is um per cent sportsman from start to He ‘was much pleased to see that a fine horse had won a race named after his ancestor, & horse that may even crowd Man O'War for the glory of the track before he is through. In presenting the cup the Earl of Derby referred to Sande as the gallant rider of a gallant horse in a gallant race. He might have sald something about Gallant Fox and this would have made it a gallant presentation -all four Ways. For Gallant Fox was all the race to-- day. Sande did his part, but he had little to do. He was on a horse who could run away from any other entry in the field. They tried to pick Crack Brigade and Tannery to beat him, but one finished fifth and the other finished eighth, and they were not in mega- phone distance of the winner. An hour before the race started a black lowering cloud swung over the track. A few insiders went to Sande to get a line on a muddy track. “I can win,” Sande said, “in the rain or the snow. I can,win in a hurricane or in a Summer’s sun. This horse can run away from them on a slow track or .wusl; track. He can win as he wants it Track Remained Fast. ‘The black clouds hung over the track and a few minutes before the race a drizzle started. But it was not enough of a drizzle to affect the track. It was still a fast track. There was the usual emotional hush as the amplifier an- nounced that they were at the post. ‘There were 15 starters. While the usual hush was on, the hush that indicates tension and excitement, the deadly quiet before action, the shout suddenly went up "they're off.” At the first wild rush Alcibiades, the filly, and Buckeye Poet took the lead away from High Foot. Sande kept Gal- lant Fox back in fourth place. Buckeye Poet, the Bradley entry, kept the lead until just before the half was reached. ‘Then Sande decided to let Gallant Fox do a little running. There was no hurry about it. It was like Bobby Jones playing_some duffer. Sande took his time. He merely removed the wraps and let his mount start moving along, and Gallant Fox moved. He was in no hurry himself. He never had to be. He just put on a little extra speed and took over the lead. ‘There was a red flash against:the dark,/gray background of the lowering sky as the favorite moved in front. There was also & wild cheer. It wasn't the Rebel cheer of old days when a Southern horse gets the jump. It was the commercial cheer of those who had backed the favorite, and in this day and time the commercial cheer can be %"nt wilder than any sentimental out- urst. Crack Brigade Challenges., “Here comes Sande,” and a horse named Gallant Fox was carrying Sande. And Gallant Fox could have carried a number of worse jockeys than Earl Sande, a great rider, and still have won, smde picked up & length. Then he looked back. He picked up another lenn,h. Then at the head of the stretch Crack Brigade made his challenge, ‘This challenge uma about 150 ynd.u no more. As Crack Brigade came on Sande looked back again and then opened another length.
