BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, May 30— That series in New York which ended yesterday with the Nationals having an edge over the Yankees, two es to one, has convinced the ashington club the one big ob- stacle in its path to a league title is Conr’e Mack's world cham- plonship outfit. Prior to the recent tilting with the New York- ers, the Nationals looked upon them as probably more danger- ous than the A’s. Having dis- covered that the Yanks with all their vaunted power at bat can well checked with careful itching, however, the wearers of g&e ‘Washington uniform now re- gard Bob Shawkey’s aggregation a8 just another ball club. Their opinion of the A’s, though, is vastly different. Not that the Nationals fear the A’s. Far from that. But they have an idea that Mack's pitchers have yet to show their real strength. They cannot be- lieve a staff that includes besides the Jeft-handed Bob Grove, who has been going well since the beginning of thecam- paign, such hurlers as George Earn- shaw, Rube Walberg and Bill Shores, in addition to several high-class relief men, will continue to be wabbly. The Mack pitchers have been short- term pitchers mostly to date. The ‘world champions have won a fine pro- portion of their games, but they have employed pitchers with reckless aban- don. Now the Nationals expect the Philadelphia boxmen to be more con- sistent in their effectiveness scon and when they become so beating the A’s will be a big order for any club. ‘That the Nationals up to today licked the Athletics seven times in nine starts 1s a glowing testimonial to the ability of the Washington slabmen to subdue the hard-hitting line-up of the world champions. But that in most games the Nationals were able to smear the A’s 50 handily surprised the base ball world. Well it might have done so. ‘Why should the bottom drop out of a g staff that was by far the best the majors last season? ‘Very likely there’ll be nothing puzzling about the A.'s mound corps in the near future. Lately several who had been wabbly have indicated they are on the wverge of resuming their 1929 effective- ness. And when they do, look out for the A’'s. It will take everything the *Nationals have to stave them off.

Those long drives the Yanks had scattered all over the lot while facing the Athletics’ tehers weren't to be seen. Not one me run bounded from a New York mace. The best the Yanks could do in the three games was collect 19 safe- ties, an average of less than seven per . These were good for 31 bases, firee being triples and six doubles. Compared with the Washington bat- ting, the New York offense was puny, indeed. The Nationals hammered the Yankee hurlers for 39 safeties of assort- ed dimensions. They hit 4 homers, 1 triple, 6 doubles and 28 singles. The eollection totaled 39 bases. The Wash- ington batters showed the Yanks how to use the ash. VEN while losing yesterday the Na- tionals outnit the Yankees, nine safeties to five. However, the ‘Washington club made little use of its hitting after the first inning, while the New Yorkers wasted but one of their blows and triumphed, 4 to 2. It was but the second win for the Yanks in seven starts against the Nationals this season. The defeat ended a streak of Wash- ington wins that had extended to seven, and it was George Pipgras, the same pitcher who last month cut a Washing- ton winning string that had been ex- tended to eight games, who checked the Nationals yesterday. At the outset 4t looked as though the Nationals would | chase George out of the picture quickly, | for the first three batters who faced him singled and a run crossed in a twinkling. But there George put on the brakes. Pour hits, spread over as many rounds, ‘were all the Nationals got between the first and ninth innings. They managed o get two more in the ninth, and these, with an infield erasure and a wildly pitched third strike to West, let a run over. This left Pipgras with a two-run Jead, though, and Rice came up with two on and two out to pop to the Yankee shortstop. MARBERRY started for the Nationals and remained in action just long enough to become loser. Pred's main trouble was wildness, In the second inning he walked Gehrig with one out and then walked Cooke with two out. Then he went to a three-and-two count with Chapman and one.

JOE SMITH. UNIONTOWN, May 30.— Wearing Goose Godlin’s uniform and pitching to Pat Gharrity, Joe¢ Smith, aged 17, of Fayette County, opened the eyes of Walter Johnson and Clark Griffith at & recent workout in the American League ball lot at Washington. Smith seemed to have an unusual supply of smoke and his benders twisted in and around the plate. At first Johnson seemed to pay little attention to Joe, but as the warming-up process continued he moved closer to the kid wonder and at the finish was standing directly behind him, accord- ing to Maurice Meinert, who accom- panied Joe to the Capital. “Gee, that kid has a lot of smoke— more than I had at 17,” was Walter's startling statement as he called Mr. Griffith from the Washington office and put his stamp of approval on the lad who last year played with a Un- iontown team in the American Legion e, is a junior in the Red- stobe Towns] High School and full- back on 1 eleven, returned here to complete the tbe;“n:, ;mt wl‘;l g0 back ‘Wasl n al une 19. wne has been tendered a contract by the Washington club.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. HE first big holiday of the base ball seasor, Memorial day, is in many ways the first mile post of the pen- nant race. Coming in the mid- dle of the second month of play, it marks the turn into that part of the campaign known as “mid- season.” By this time the tenms have had time to straighten out the tangled af- fairs of the start, even to play off a good many of the games posiponed be- cause of the early season weather; the slow starters have had an opportunity to hit their real stride, and they ail start down the long back stretch of the pennant race track in the part of the struggle which counts the most. The standings today bring promise of two fine races in the major circuits, with the National League's contenders probably more closely matched. The Brooklyn Robins and St. Louls Car- dinals come up to the mile post tied for the lead as the result of yesterday’s one game. The Robins overcame a half- game deficit by beating the New York Giants, 4 to 1, while St. Louis was idle. Four Are Close Behind. Behind them, Pittsburgh, Chicago, New York and Boston are in a close group, the Pirates just three games to the bad, while the other two, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, are not out of touch with the leaders. A chance for one of them to improve its position was lost yesterday as the Phillies and Boston met more rain when they attempted to play off a game postponed earlier in the week. Brooklyn found a two-man combina- tion effective in beating the Giants for the sixth time in eight meetings. Babe Herman produced the Robin runs, driv- ing in three with two homers, while Bill Clark prevented Giant scoring by al- lowing only six hits. Washington has a clear margin of leadership in the American League, but the champion Philadelphia Athletics are pressing the Senators hard, while seven of the eight clubs have averages of 400 or better. The distance be- tween the Senators and the Athletics was cut down by a full-game by the results of yesterday's clashes. A’s Again Beat Sox. Philadelphia sent the Boston Red Sox deeper into the cellar with a 2-to-1 vic- tory in a pitching duel between Leroy Mahaffey and Milton Gaston, while the Senators again found George Pipgras of the Yankees a bit t00 tough for them and went down to a 4-to-2 defeat. Mahaffey and Gaston each yielded five hits in their battle, but the Red Sox could get only one man past sec- ond base, while Regan gave the Ath- letics an extra counter on a bad error that was followed by Cochrane’s double in the seventh inning. Pipgras, the only Yankee pitcher to beat the Sena- tors this season, repeated hls previous triumphs by keeping nine hits thor- oughly scattered while his teammates made the most of five blows at oppor- tune moments. Only one of the Yankee hits did not figure in the scoring. :‘ BIG LEAGUE LEADERS | By the Associated Press. (Including games of May 29.) American League. Batting—Rice, Senators, .413.

BIRDIES IN PINCH WIN ADMIRATION Bobby Thinks He’d Have Lost But for Tough Putt on Eighteenth. BY 0. B. KEELER, For the Associated Press. T. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 30. —Five minutes _after Bobby Jones defeated Jimmy Johnston, 1 up,I asked Bobby what in his estimation had hap- ned. “Nothing happened except that Jimmy put on a great comeback,” said the American open cham- fon. “I played all I had. I gave im one hole, the fifteenth. He took the rest. His birdie 4s at the long fourteenth and at the road hole, the toughest golf hole in the world, were the most brilliant golf under pressure I ever saw. “I left myself an 8-foot putt at the home green for the match. It was the longest 8-foot putt I ever saw. I was never happler to see one_in the can. If I had missed that putt I am morally certain Jimmy would have gotten me, “You know how it is when a chap gets his tall up. He can do anything and you can't stop him.” Made Great Comeback. I do know how it is. I know how Jimmy Johnston was 5 down with 6 to play in the Western amateur champion- ship some years ago to Albert Scckel, I think, and how Jimmy won the next six holes. That was in my dizzy mind all through that furious rally that began with Bobby Jones 4 up and 5 to play and ended with Bobby holing an 8-foot gun at the home green to have one of is toughest matches. Mrs. Jones followed the entire match. “I began to feel nervous toward the end,” she admitted. “I wondered what on earth was the matter.” 80 did about 10,000 other people, this correspondent among them. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Johnston indeed walked together and sat together back of the greens very amicably all through the battle. I came upon them seated back of the fifth green. They looked perfectly friendly so I sald: . ut!"you girls have not begun fight- tty Johnston looked up at Mary Jones with a smile. “Why, we're going to Paris together as soon as this cruel war is over,” she replied. So that was that. Comes From Behind. George Voigt started with Willie Hoge by losing the first three holes and he looked like he was los| the fourth when Willle was well the green in two and George was over in the rasp- berries. George holed a birdie three from the tiger country and Willie was 8o disconcerted that he lost the next three holes and eventually the match. The Hon.

OME on, daddy, hold them down!” It was the eighth inning, and Lefty Kuhnert, standing on the mound, was in a tight spot, and knew it. The tying run was across and the winning run was on sec- ond base. A childish voice repeated, “Come on, daddy, hold them down!" and Lefty Kuhnert looked for an instant at a tiny figure seated on the Navy Yard bench, wound up, and from his ancient arm catapulted the fastest ball he has thrown for a long time [{4 Kuhnert's only strike out of the game. ‘To little 5-year-old Clarence Kuh- nert, jr, sitting on the bench, there was only one player on the fleld, and that was Clarence Kuhnert, sr., better known to local sandlot fans as Lefty Kuhnert. Baby Kuhnert, in spite of his years, knows his base ball (at least some of it), and if there was a more ardent Navy Yard rooter present yesterday he certainly did not reveal himself. Got No Support. And OI' Lefty, pitching for the last place Navy Yard team, was turning in what was perhaps the greatest e of his base ball career. He allowed the hard-hitting Naval Hospital club only five hits in 10 innings, and had his teammates given him even mediocre support he could have put a big dent in the Sailors’ hopes for the champion- ship of the Government . Lefty was in form, but mmmlm were far from right, for they kicked in Young Son’s Rooting Inspires Kuhnert to Star in Hard Spot with six errors, three by Lattin, two by Swygert and one by Ryan, to present Naval Hospital with all five of their runs. The tail-enders provided the biggest surprise of the current leagus season when they pounded Lefty Munson from the mound in the seventh inning, after scoring four of their five tallies. Th moky _Pete” Ingram was . “Good-by Navy Yard!” yelled some one on the side lines. But he reckoned without Kuhnert, for this an- clent veteran of the sandlots actually outpitched Ingram, who is reputed to be the best hunler in the Government ague. Any pitcher, especially an old-timer like Lefty Kuhnert, who pitches a five- hit, 10-inning game, deserves a better {:t:. than what was accorded him yes- rday. Tenth Is Heartbreaker, Perhaps Kuhnert has the Indian on the Sailors, but more than likely the small figure, alternately sit- ting on the Navy Yard bench and the ground, had something to do with Lefty's bright performance. ‘The heartbreaker came in the last of the tenth, with Navy Yard at bat. Lat- tin, the goat of the game, did his best to make up for his fielding miscues, but his teammates were found wanting. Lattin socked a triple to deep left fleld to open the inning, and the 1,600-0dd spectators were in uproar —not that the game meant anything to Navy Yard, for they're “out,” as far as t:xi %rl‘t ’hnll lglt the series is con- cern ut for Lefty's sake.
