R g GTH STRAIGHT WIN PUTS HIM AT TOP Ties With Grove by Holding Yanks to Four Hits as Griffs Win, 7 to 2. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, May 28—Sam Jones is of Welsh extrac- tion and, as were his.an- cestors .who roamed the hills of Wales, Sam is obstinate and persistent. You can’t make Sam believe there is any virtue in being other than first in any line ©of endeavor. "Tis said years ago before the United States and Spain had their disagree- ment over the political status of Cuba this sclon of the Jones family out in Ohio insisted upon being breakfasted before the others of his household. with Sam through life, and therefore it is not surprising that the now ven- erable and somber squire of Woods- fleld. holds in part the leadership of Sam Jomes. shares with the much-younger Robert Moses Grove, renowned left-hander of the world-champion Athletics, the honor this other pitcher than these two, exponents of widely differing schools of the mound art, in the circuit can boast of a perfect record over such a stretch of games. somber squire of Woodsfield If to even terms with Grove 2%z §§§5 ] i1 i szgi £ : g gaBip g Egig, EE?EEEE § i E 7 3 i 1 4 g i 5.5 A2 $i EEk 1 ; £ B ] 5 | E¥ start, putt frame fim joubles by Rice and Judge. This pair smote singles in the third and the Nationals got another run. Two more hits, one a double by Spencer and the other a single by Jones, mixed with an error that gave Bluege [N a life, and Rice’s sacrifice loft account- ed for two tallies in the seventh. Judge's triple and Myer’s single netted another marker in the eighth and sent Hoyt |2 to the showers. Manager Shawkey nad decided the Nationals' way of scoring time they got as many as two hits in an inning showed Hoyt wasn't it had wasted but two safeties off ‘Waite, but they did not waste any off ‘McEvoy. As soon as he relieved Hoyt, Lou was nicked by Cronin for a single that moved Myer to third base. Bluege's sacrificial loft tallled Buddy and Spen- cer’s one-baser moved Joe to the far corner, from where he crossed when Jones put up a high one to Cooke in lJeft. ‘The left-handed Ed Wells pitched in the ninth for the Yanks and the Na- tionals got nothing more than two singles off him. GIFT run that went over in the fourth inning kept the Yanks in the game for a time, as it left the Nationals leading by only 2 to 1. Ruth opened this round with the first hit off Jones, getting a single with a surpris- ing bunt toward third. Lazzerl imme- diately drove into a double play, but Gehrig walked and went to third as Myer let Dickey's roller go through for 8n error. Jones went to a three-and- two count with Cooke, then cut loose a ‘wild one. Aithough the ball struck in gront of the plate, Cooke swung and headed for first. As the sphere bound- ed by Spencer Cooke reached the bag safely and Gehrig tallied. 1t was an error for Jones and he could not be credited with having struck out . But the inning was over when violated all rules of the pitchers ;x:t got under a pop from Chap- ‘anks’ run in the eighth after well as an infleld erasure was made scored as Ruth singled. POSSIBLE perfect day at bat for Joe Judge went bloole when the veteran decided to wait out Wells in the ninth. In four appearances against Hoyt, Judge doubled, singled, doubled and tripled in order. Then after watching Wells throw two strikes by he waved for a third one. PRAT tom muscle in bis left leg still ‘troubles Goslin greatly.

(This Robin was not one of the Brooklyn Robins of & later period, although they were pretty good batsmen, t00.) ‘The way this valiant man had ‘become an outlaw is as follows: He ‘was taking part one day in a shoot- ing match at the park in Notting- hamtown.

FULLERTON, JR.,, Associated Press Sports Writer. \WO major league base ball teams, the St. Louis Cardinals and ‘Washington Senators, are doing their best to break away from the pack of contenders in the close major league races, but so far their efforts have resulted only in a pair of fine winning streaks and rather pre- carious holds on first place. Washington is quite safe for the present, holding a margin of four games over the Philadelphia Athletics. How- ever, the Senators cannot take many chances and still remain ahead. To get to its present position Washington has had to win 7 games in a row and continue an almost unbroken streak through 20 contests. The. Senators have won 11 out of their last 12 games and 16 out of 20. The Senators held their place yester- day by beating the New York Yan- kees, 7 to 2. Sad Sam Jones was the whole show. He held the Yanks to four hits, three of them going to Babe Ruth, pitched his fifth complete game of the year and won his sixth succes- sive victory. His teammates backed him up to the extent of 14 hits, Cardials Lose a Chance. The Cardinals’ string of victories was broken for the second time in 19 games yesterday and St. Louis lost a fine chance to get a safer lead over the Broklyn Robins. But the St. Louls hitters were not much more effective against Larry French than the Robins were against Bill Walker and the two leaders of the National League went down in defeat, remaining only & half game apart. St. Louis lost to Pitts- bul’i , 8 to 5, and Brooklyn to the New York Giants, 3 to 1. ‘The Cards started winning May 7 and ran nine games before their first set- back. Then they added eight more vic- tories before running into French yes- terday. The Pirate hurler, working after only two days’ rest, gave St. Louis 13 hits, but was effettive in the tight spots. He also started Pittsburgh off to 2 good lead by hitting a triple with the bases full in the second inning, then scoring the fourth run. Brooklyn did not get -started inst Walker’s pitching until the eighth in- ning and by that time the Giants had gained a three-run lead, which was just enough. The Robins put the tying runs on base in the ninth inning only to have Wnllter end gu game by m-lk}lan: out the ing streak of their own until they played two double headers at the Yankee Stadium, con- tinued to pick up steam at the expense of the Boston Red Sox. They won their third game in a row and gave Boston its tenth successive defeat by a 7 to 5 score. Indians Drop White Sox. ‘The third place Cleveland Indians did even better against Chicago, send- ing the White Sox down to sixth place by sweeping their second double-header in two days, 3 to 2 and 9 to 8. The teams showed almost every kind of base ball, from a pitching duel between Mel Harder and Dutch Henry in the opener to a sh g match in the second game, in which the Sox went ahead by scor- ing four runs in the ninth inning only to have Cleveland overtake them again. was the real second game T, e went in for the ninth inning and was charged with the defeat after having won six games in succession. Detroit, supplanting Chicago in fifth place, went to even greater limits of slugging for a 16to-11 victory over the St. Louis Browns.

NDIANAPOLIS, May 28.—Qualifying trials for the 500-mile automobile race to be run here Friday end at 7:05 this evening. So, between 2 o'clock and that hour, some 15 cars were due either to prove themselves mechanical thoroughbreds or discarded as shattered dreams. ‘Thirty of the world’s foremost drivers already have proved to the officials in charge of the race that their selections, widely varied as to cylinders and horse- mg, were ready for the battle of the of the walls during the few remaining hours left for practice—included two men from Italy, Baconi Borzacchini and Letterio Coccinotta.
