Sports GOMEZ OF YANKS S LATEST VICTIW Nats Gain 8th Win in 13th Tilt With Southpaws as Judge, Goslin Clout. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, May 27.—There being a flock of batters swinging from the left side in the ranks of the Na- tionals opposing clubs are trying often to stop them with left-hand giwhing. but thus far have not een so successful. The record to date of the clashes between the Washington club and the portside pitching brigade is very much in favor of the former. Eight vic- tories over left-handers have been scored by the Nationals, while the left-handers have been victorious but five times. Looks as though some of the Nationals southside slashers rather fancy the southpaws. No left-hander has defeated the Nationals more than once this season. Southpaws who have checked the Wash- ington Club are in order Rube Walberg of the A's, Walter Stewart.of the Browns, Elam Hogsett of the Tigers, gn Whitehill, another Detroiter, and e brilliant Robert Moses Grove of the world champions. Two left-handers have been punished twice each h{ the Washington Club swingers. Walberg has so suffered and 80 has Vernon Gomez of the Yankees. g:ws to feel the sting of n bats are Tom Zachary, who took it on the chin shortly before he went from the Yanks to the Braves in the other big league, Ed Wells of the New Yorkers and Dutch Henry and Bob Weiland of the White Sox. When a club hits as the Washington Club has been hitting it rarely makes any difference which side the pitching is from. PAIR of Nationals showed yesterday while their outfit was licking the Yankees, 10 to 7, in the opener of & four-game serles of considerable im- portance to each contending club that a left-hand hurler can be well thumped ters. Goose ‘These hits virtually clinched the game for the Nationals. ‘The gathering of these homers is re- grded as something novel in base ball, that they were hit successively in successive innings. Goslen opened the fourth frame with his first four-baser and Judge, next up, got his first. With two out and two on in the fifth Goslin the circuit again and Judge it for another four- | . Gosli runs were his fourth and th of the umlinlm: Judge’s his d and fourth. All were ‘mighty drives into the righ-field bleach- ers. Goslin's first was the longest of the lot. It carried into the stand. From the crack of the bat Ruth knew where the ball was going, for he merely 1eoked to the sky and never moved from | it field. The ball was | Ssesse Grifith Stadium ve cl the towering right-field wall, over which comparatively few hits are made. beat anks, safeties in un‘wl G e Gomez, started A reached for hits by the first three bat- ters to face him. The four other safe- tles off him were spread over the next three rounds. ROWN did most of the pitching for the Nationals, but he was wabbly from the ning and after go- ing through seven innings gave way to Braxton. Off Brown the Yanks got nine hits and two passes, and eight of the hits and both passes were mixed in their scoring. The southpaw backed a hit with two passes in the first frame. So Gehrig’s double cleared filled sacks to give the home side a fine start. A single and two well-pounded sacrifice holsts were followed by Gehrig's triple to produce another tally in the third. Goslin’s _and Judge’s homers took much of the edge off the Yankee lead in the fourth frame, though, and'the big fifth put the Nationals 5 runs to the good. But Lazzeri’s double, Goslin's wild return of the hit and Gehrig's sacrifice netted New York a marker in the sixth and a double, triple and single, hit in succession by Johnson, Combs and_ Koenig, were good for 2 more runs. Indications were that Brown was weakening too fast for the protec- tion of a 3-run advantage, so Braxton ‘was on the slab when the Yanks came up for their eighth batting turn. Garland gave a base on balls to Gehrig, first up, but Lou was easily doubled off first after Goslin made a whale of a catch of Chapman’s liner. The Goose tore across the turf and leaned over the left-fleld stand wall to bag the ball. Gehrig, sure a hit had been made, was off at the crack of the bat and had rounded second when Myer got Goslin’s return. Buddy’s relay to Judge reached first far ahead of Lou. Combs got to Braxton for a single after two were out in the ninth, only to be forced out by Koenig. 'HAT rousing fifth saw the Nationals 38 YEARS OLD, AND NOw A HOUSE AFIRE ! Metropolitan Newspaper HE good folk in Washington weren't much interested in the Kentucky Derby a week or so ago, for that very morn- ing, May 17, to be exact, those who hadn’t known it the night before suddenly realized that the Nats were leading the American League again at last. Two Friday victories over the Athletics—the first by Bump Hadley, the second by Adolph Liska —put Washington at the top of the heap, with Philadelphia, Cleveland and the Yankees following in that order.

SEASON WITH “THE SENATORS, YET GOING LIKE ARG oL EoE S Kaintuck’ got even less attention at the National Capital when the Sen- ators socked the A’s again that aft- ernoon, this time 16 to 5, to increase their lead, with Myles Thomas doing most of the pitching and West driv- ing in 6 runs. After Washington’s dismal failure to get anywhere last year under Walter Johnson, his thousands of friends and well-wishers are de- lighted at the fine showing of the team this season. It seems that the Nationals are starting off under full steam, just as they finished last Fall. Young hurlers like Bob Burke and Lloyd Brown are pitching splen- didly, and veterans like Sam Jones, who won his fifth game on May 21, - - are keeping up the good work. And how that old-timer, Sam Rice, has been playing! He seems to improve with age. He connected for at least 1 safety in 28 consecutive games, and as this is written is leading the league in both batting and base stealing! Walter Johnson could use a few more like him. Boy, will I ever forget Sam's playing in the 1925 world series! About half a dozen Senators are batting .300 or better, which is much better than they did when Brutus and his little playmates did away with Julius Caesar. “Senatus Popu- Que Romanus” was the slogan . " Washington could draft an . P. Q. R.” phrase itself, using DS, BECAUSE OF » T DATE THIS SEASON. —By FEG MURRAY “Senators Pound Quota of Runs,” for that is what the Nats have been doing of late, and—well, and how! If I am not mistaken, the St. Louls Browns are the only team to win & series from Washington so far this year, while the champlon Athletics, who used 'the poor Senators for a doormat in 1929, have been right down Walter Johnson's alley so far this season. Now if that fellow Goose Goslin would only hit his true batting stride! Do I think the Nats will win the pennant? Sure! Easy! Well, any- way, with plenty of “E's.” RicE, LoEpp, JudgE, MyEr, BIUEGE, RUEl, SpEncEr, JonEs, BurkE, Had- 1Ey, MarbErry! 7 GRIFFIN - WILL HURL FOR DEL RAY TEAM Griffin has been s e re- mainder of the campaign for the Del Ray A. C. tossers. Nationals and Comets will stage the second contest of their three-game series Saturday at 10:30 on Haydon Field. Belle Haven Country Club is leading the Tri-State Golf Association team standings as a result of its 28-t0-26| triumph over Winchester Golf Club in & match at Purcellville, Va, Sunday. A special meeting of the Del Ray C. has been called for tonight, held West Oxford and Mount Vernon ave- nues at 8 o'clock. Finney Gardner, former George Mason High pitcher, hurled the locals to a 7-to-5 start over the Union Plasterers of Washington. Potterfleld’s Store trimmed the Cubs, 15 to 12, on Haydon Field yesterday. Ralph (Pee Wee) Hamilton, Celtics’ mound ace, has won his three starts.

FANS IN ALEXANDRIA BACK OF JUDGE DAY ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 27.—Joe Judge has long been a favorite with Alexandria base ball fandom and both clubs and individuals are “putting their shoulders to the wheel” to help put across the Joe Judge day being planned for June 28, when the first sacker of | the Griffmen will be honored by fans of this entire section. ‘Two benefit games will be played by local teams Friday in Decoration day attractions, the Cardinal A. C. and the Hume Springs nine meeti on_Haydon Field at 3 o'clock with the Del Ray A. C. and Fort Meade scheduled for the same hour at ard Duncan Field. The proceeds of both games will go into the Judge fund. AnotRer benefit contest is being ar- ranged for June 15 by Charley Corbett's St. Mary’s Celtics, but they have been unable so far to find a team willing to come here and play under the same conditions. Jack Tulloch, sports editor of the Alexandria Gazette, is local chairman for the Joe Judge day campaign. He received several among_them donations from the Cardi- nal and Del Ray nines.

ANDLOT prognosticators have de- clared time and again that if Naval Hospital could get a good pitcher it will go somewhere in the Government League—and | Smokey Ingram appears to be the an- swer to the problem. Ingram had quite a reputation before yesterday's game with the league-lead- ing G. P. O. nine, but when the last man was out he had added to his pres- tige, winning, 11 to 4. ‘Whent in the first inning G. P. O. got two runs on successive hits by Fuzzy Homan and Skippy Gartland and worked & double steal, with Homan scoring on the play, it looked as though the league leaders were going to add another victim. But that first inning splurge represented exactly half of the runs y_were to get and two of the five hits allowed by Smokey. “Yeh, they oughta beat us. They got the whole Atlantic fleet to pick from,” yelled a G. P. O. rooter, Naval Hospital is fhe club that dropped out of the Departmental League last year because of lack of competition. 1t Is getting plenty now. 1t was a fairly close battle until the sixth inning, when Miller, Naval Hos- pital shortstop, stepped to the plate with the bases full and drove out a triple. ‘The blow was to deep right | field and Miller could have walked around the bases and made it easily, but for some reason or other he reached second and could not make up his mind whether or not he had touched first, He started back, but finally thought he had better take a chance and run around the sacks. Ed Grayson, Naval Hospital third sacker, looks like a comparatively young man, but when he set sail for second on Hamilton’s error at first base his cap flew off and, lo and behold, he was almost bald! ‘The Government League game was held up in the fourth inning to allow an outfielder on the G. P. O. team in the Departmental loop to chase a home run drive by Harvey of Agriculture. Pick-Ups From the Sandlots Standings in Major Leagues Harvey had already crossed the when the fielder picked up the ball. Thompson, Healy and Reed also hit for the circuit as the Aggles beat G. P. 0, 11 to 7. Zip Tweedale of the Big Print Shop pulled one for the books when he topped a pitch and sent a slow roller right in front of the catcher. Zip started for first base and stopped half way down the line to watch the catcher, who was studying the ball in hopes it would go fowl. ‘Then, satisfied that it was fair, the catcher threw the ball to first and Tweedle, who was standing still, was out a mile, but the first baseman dropped the ball, 50 Tweedale was safe and a runner who was on third scored. One of the best games of the year should result in the Pullman-Ex) get-together this afternoon at the Union Station field. HUDKINS, SH;\DE WINNER MAY GET WALKER BOUT LOS ANGELES, May 27 (#)—With the possibility that the winner will re- ceive a chance to meet Mickey Walker, middleweight champion, in a title bout | this Summer as an added incentive, Ace Hudkins and Dave Shade will step into (sh:urmg here tonight for a 10-round attle. Hudkins is a slight favorite over the veteran from Concord, Calif. Each pre- viously has met the Rumson, N. J., bull- dog in champlonship fights, without success, Shade lost a decision to Wal- ker in a welterweight match several years ago, while Hudkins failed in two' chances to wrest the middleweight crown from Mickey.

Base running is one of the most important parts of base ball. Many a game is lost by stupid work on the ths, that otherwise would have een an easy victory. Although speed is a big factor, good headwork and skill play a big part in the success of a base runner. Getting the “jump” on the pitcher counts for much.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. HILE their highly touted brethren falter and stumble, the Washington Senators proceed blithely on their victorious way in the American League much as the St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Robins, “dark horses” both, are doing in the National. Picked in advance predictions to fin- ish no higher than seventh, the Sena- tors, under great leadership by Walter Johnson, were leading the pack by four full games today and giving no signs of cracking under the amazing pace they have set. Yesterday they scored their sixth suc- cessive victory and their fifteenth in 19 games. Cleveland bounced back into third place with a double victory over the Chicago White Sox, 7 to 8 and 5 to 2. Wes Ferrell outpitched Red Faber by a wide margin in the opener and Clint Brown had an edge on Cecll Caraway in the nightcap. Lefty Grove chalked up his sixth win without a defeat as the Athletics beat Boston, 8 to 5. Grove had only one bad inning, the eighth, when the Red Sox bunched hits for four runs. The Detroit Tigers made good use of eight hits to beat St. Louis, 7 to 3, and moved into sixth place, while the Browns fell back to seventh. In the National League Brooklyn and St. Louls each recorded victories to keep the Cardinals on top of the league standing by half a game. ‘The Dodgers gave their metropolitan rivals, the New York Giants, their fifth straight defeat, 7 to 0, as Dazzy Vance turned in his best effort of the year. Vance gave the Giants only two hits, one a scratch, and permitted only_two men to get as far as second base. Fred Fitzsimmons gave only six hits and two runs in the seven innings he worked, but the Robins hopped on Parmalee and Lucas for five more runs in the eighth. ‘The victory was Brooklyn's thirteenth of its last 16. ‘The Cardinals turned back Pitts- burgh, 10-4, for their eighth straight win and their seventeenth in 18 games. The Cards shelled Jess Petty off the mound with a four-run rally in the fourth, while Lindsey, relleving Sher- del in the sixth, was & puzzle to the Corsairs. Despite Hack Wilson's thirteenth homer of the year, with one on, Cin cinnati beat the Cubs, 6 to 2. Jakle May gave the Cubs only six hits.
