BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, May 26.—Brown, Jones, Liska and Hadley. the Nationals hope will check these Yankees, who now are regarded more dangerous than the Athletics. Brown was to left-hand his way against the New Yorkers this afternoon in the opener of the four-game series, while the others probably will be used in the | order mentioned, although the| succession has not been definitely | planned. With such a full week at hand—the Nationals are to play eight games before leaving for the ‘West next Sunday—some juggling of the order may be done that the stronger of the first-stringers tackling the Yanks may be sent right back at the A’s. Brown, for instance, ought to be available for one of the games to be plaved with the world champions in Philadelphia on Priday, while Jones, if used tomorrow, ought after four days of rest be in trim to face the Athletics in Washington next Sunday. It is ex- pected these sqries with the two clubs which are right at the Nationals’ heels in the championship race will require much good pitching, and the “big four” of the Washington club will have to shoulder an extra burden. The “big four’ has done sterling work thus far. They have put the Na- tionald at the top of the league. True, the club has hit well, but it has made such favorable progress more because of the fine slabbing it has had than because of its batting. The ability of the Washington hurlers to check the usually smashing bats of the Athletics and the Yankees has been the greatest factor in the club’s success. 'ASHINGTON'S fine pitching has brought seven victories in nine tussles with the world champion Athletics, three in four tilts with the hardy Yankees and eight in nine en- counters with the scrappy Red Sox. The Eastern rivals have been quite baffied by the Nationals’ brand of hurl- ing. Among_them, Brown, Jones, Liska and Hadley have accounted for 16 wins. Jones tops the “big four” with five in as many starts, Brown and Hadley have scored four victories each and have started eight times each. - Liska in four | starts has been returned victor three times. That's bowling over the oppo- sition in great style. 'OW it seems that the Nationals are to have a “big five”” for the pitch- ing hill. When he shut out_the Red Sox yesterday in Washington, Fred Marberry gave a brilliant exhibition and went_the route with such little effort| that he probably is in form for regular | work at t. Fred allowed the Boston | bunch but three singles and one base on balls. The pass was issued to Bob Reeves in the first frame, Charley Berry got a one-baser to start the third round, That'’s the pitching line-up | | ball bat that ever won a real place in WELL | PLAYED IN A MIXED FOURSOME. ToDAY:--- 1 HAD MRS. MALTY For A PARTNER SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE! WOMEN You EVE AND THEN HE TOOK UP GOLF. AND BELIEVE ME SHE CAN SWING A WICKED 3»« How Nice When Favorite T happened just eight days ago, when young Patsy Spaulding stood at the plate on the Seat Pleasant diamond and in the first inning broke something more dear to him than any thing else in base ball—Calamity Jane, not the famous putter of the eminent Bobby Jones, but the only base Patsy's heart. For Patsy is a superstitious chap and | when he off the season with more than usual success at bat| (about 150 points more) he made up his | mind that there was no other bat in the world than Calamity Jane. ‘To Spaulding’s imaginative mind this RECORD OF GRIFFMEN Bill Regan hit with two gone in the fourth, and Hal Rhyne hit for a base | with two out in the seventh. Not one} of the Red Sox who got on the runway passed first base. A beautifully pitched | game. has been a rough Spring for I Marberry. He came up from South- | ~mn training far from being in con- dition and took a licking right off the reel, the Red Sox downing hira in the | season opener here. Fred started three ‘more times, but couldn’t make the grade. | Nor was he particularly good in relief | Toles. So the big fellow was given a lot of extra work to do. He ran himself | T g fiies in the batting and | flelding drills, did much jogging about the ball yard and went through a course of special exercises designed to get him down to proper playing weight | and increase his stamina. Now, after| all this toil, Marberry seems right. He went through the .game yesterday: with plenty of speed and seemed fresh at the finish. It was his first complete game of the season, too, which indicates the increase in stamina very likely was accomplished by the strenuous exercis- ing of the past three or four weeks. Marberry, right, ought to be a great | help to the club from now on. | TN scoring their eighth straight victory | over the Boston bunch this season the Nationals faced Eddie Durham, | a youngster making his first start of the year, and Horace Lisenbee, once with | Washington. Off Durham they got six hits, one pass and three runs in seven | innings. Off Lisenbee they got one pass, three hits and two runs in the eighth. Nicked for a run in the first frame, Durham went on to pitch four fine in. nings before the Nationals got two more tallies in the sixth. The rookie pitched rathpsr well over the seven-inning strgjeh, but with Marberry holding the | Revj B2x helpless it just wasn't his day. V' BST, Rice and Goslin, first three of the Washington batting order, trounced the Red Sox. It was a triple by Rice and Goslin's long sacri- | fice fiy that put over the first-frame run. West started the sixth with a single and Rice and Goslin followed suit. These blows. mingled with the | forcing out of Goslin by Judge, meant | two markers. Facing Lisenbee in the elghth, West started the round with a | double. Singles by Rice and Goslin followed and one run crossed. Judge | walked to fill the bases and Rice tallied as Myer forced out Judge. OSLIN returned to the game some- | what unexpectedly vesterday after | remaining out for several days that he might nurse a muscle strain in his right leg and performed as though the pron was sound once more. He did not hase much to do afield. but he swung s wicked bat. His two singles were well hit and the sacrifice fly in the first in- ning wes sound! mmed. With his leg right the Goose may be ready to do the hitting expected of him. If he is, what a boost for the Nationals.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. 'HE current rookie crop in the usually good, producing a number of young sluggers who have been showing the older | players a few things about hit-| ting the ball, but it has not been particularly rich in good pitchers. In fact it was something of an event yesterday when two of the younger generation of hurlers| turned in good games on one aft- | ernoon. Leroy Mahaffey of the Athletics, who has been tried out in the majors before, but d'd not make the grade, was the one winner of the two. Making his | first start for the world champions, he | & neat fashion, stopping their batting spree with a seven-hit game to win, 10 to 3. Mahaffey, who came up this vear from the Portland Pacific Coast League club, perhaps recognized a kin- dred soul in Dusty Cooke of the Yan- kees, for he allowed Cooke two hits, in- cluding a home run, which aided his average considerably. Leon Chagnon of Pittsburgh pitched well in the second game of the Pirates' double-header, but he could not cope with the experience of his rival, Red Lucas, and the Cincinnati Reds broke their losing streak with a 4-to-3 vie- tory. Lucas himself scored the winning run in the ninth inning. The Pirates gave Cincinnati its tenth straight de- feat in the 10-inning opener by a 6-to-5 score. The rest of the day's pitching tri- | umphs went to veterans of at least sev- | eral years' standing. Adolfo Luque, one of the ancients of the National League, held the New York Giants to four hits in 10 innings as Brooklyn won, 4 to 3, for its nineteenth victory out of 25 games in a winning streak that start- ed when the Robins and Giants clashed | in their last series. The Robins, how- | ever, found one rookie very useful. | Gordon Slade, who celebrated his debut as a big league regular Saturday by hitting & home run his first time at bat, fielded brilllantly to help Luque out in the pinches. The projected battle of the National League's strikeout, artists in the remain. ing game yesterday turned into a slug- ging match, in which neither Bill Hal- | lahan of St. Louis nor Charley Root of | Chicago lasted the full game. Hallahan maintained his margin by fanning four | men to Root's three during the few innings each pitched St. Louis held the league lead by rallying for four runs in the seventh inning and a 6-to-3 vietory. . The fourth National League game, between Philadelphia and Boston, was raired out. Fred Marberry and Ted Lyons held the hurling spotlight in the American League. Marberry gave the Boston Red Sox only three hits for a 5-t0-0 shutout as Washington attained its ninth vic- tory in 10 contests. Lyons pitched his sixth consecutive winning game for the Chicago White Sox, holding the Cleveland Indians to four hits, while Chicago pounded out 16 to win, 9 to 1. He also achicved a, record unequaled so far with his elghthl victory in nine games. Detroit and St. Louis provided the leading exception to the rule that the pitchers had the upper hand for the day by driving out 28 hits between them as the Tigers won the game, 9 to 8. ?etmn used two pitchers and St. Louis our. major leagues has been un- |, INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

BY WALTER TRUMBULL. EW YORK, May 26. the game I pi Collins to me at the Yankee Stadium. Today base ball is a game of force. The throwers try to shoot the ball past the hitters and the hitters try to lamb the ball past the | fence.” And Collins, one of the greatest play- lers who ever hit behind a runner or | stole a base, or broke up a double steal, |is eminently correct. The head in mod- | ern base ball is highly useful as a cap: rack. There are, to_be sure, a few pitchers of the Herb Pennock style re- maining. Pennock tosses up & ball that looks the size of a grapefruit, but it is puzzling to the man at the plate who is waiting to make his daily home run. How are you going to dig in your spikes and get set for a ball when you don't know which corner of the plate it will cut, or whether it will curve, or just how fast it will be? All you know about it is that it will arrive an incon- venient spot at an annoying moment. Fortunately, there are not many Pen- nocks. “What's been wrong with your team ]d‘urlng the last few days?” I.asked Col- ns. “The best man on it,” he answered, “has been home in bed. When Connis Mack gets back, we'll be all right.” Further than that, Collins refused to go. His idea was that acting managers, off the field, should be seen and not eard. The hoys were well, all except Mickey Cochrane, whose ankle was sore, but the bone was not chipped as feared: there had been perhaps a slump; but any team might expect that; nothing was wrong, except that everybody missed Connie Mack. That's all. Mack has been suffering from tooth troutle. As might be supposed, his wisdom teeth were firmly sef. One was in fo far that it is imbedded in the jaw bone. This tooth has been causing most of the trouble, so much trouble that they have traced to it what was first thought to be lumbago. Connle has been running a bit of fever and the doctor Mept nim at home. And I think Collins is right, wh he says that is what is the matter with the team. It needs the master's hand—and his authority. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) HON]EMRUN STAEI-)ING 3y the' Associated Press. Home Runs Yesterday.
