Surgeon To Play Golf, TIGERS VICTIMIZED BY 7-RUN SESSION “Poison” Whitehill Drubbed as Johnsonites Open Tour of West. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, June 4—This has been a season of big in- nings for the Nationals thus far. In more than one-fourth of their games the Nats have had rounds in which they collected from four to seven runs. Nine times have they dented the plate four times in an inning. Four times have they tallied five in a frame. They have had one six-run session and three sessions of seven runs each, the last of these big ones clinch- ing the opener of their initial in- vasion of the West this year yes- terday in Detroit. ‘These 17 big innings have been spread over a dozen games and have helped mightily Big rounds have won for the Nationals in nine of the dozen en- gagements. Twice, though, when they slugged for a 4-run round were the Nationals licked and once they suffered defeat even though having a 5-tally inning. The Nationals’ prize big inning set-to of the season was that with the Ath- letics in Washington on May 16. Then the world champs were trounced 16 to 5, the home side scoring 6 times in the third inning, 4 times in the fifth and 5 times in the seventh. The lone-run round was the first. Bill Shores, Ed Rommel and Roy Mahaffey were the &lcttlm.s of savage attacks in that lurid ‘The Tigers are the second lot to see the Nationals dent the final base seven times in an inning. The two other 7- run frames were collected off the ‘Yankee pitchers. Antidote for “Poison.” T big inning yesterday was started with the left-handed Earl Whitehill, usually “poison” for the Griffs, in the pitcher's box, and fin- ished with ymmgmc!urley Sullivan, a doing hurling for the ‘Tigers. Whitehill had not been impres- sive in the first inning. he was nicked for a single and issued two walks that crowded the bases with only one out. He managed to get out of this zfldic‘ment. but he took plenty of pun- hment in the second session. Bluege opened the attack with a dou- ble slashed down the left-field line. ‘Then Spencer looped the ball toward short left fleld, Fothergill, Funk and Rogell went into a huddle back of short and let the sphere land safely am; them for a two-bagger. had hugged second;"fearing a catch, however, so he only advanced a base on the After Liska fouled out, l.oippa;ewlp‘uwmltheum :.a Rice came along to single over 2 Gosiin's stroll loaded the cushions for the second time in the round, then Loepp counted as Judge was thrown gut.” Crontn's Jarrup for a base scored Goslin and broug] 11 to Whitehill's relief.

He ap- peared tired when he came up for the sixth, though, and a pass and two hits netted the home side another marker. In the seventh, Ad was about all in and before Garland Braxton could be sent to his rescue the Tigers with two two-bag- gers and a one-baser collected two more markers, These seventh-inning hits raised the ‘Tigers’ total of safeties to nine. It mounted no higher for Braxton, who went to the hill with two out, easily disposed of the next seven batters up. 'T was well that the Nats had their big inning at the expense of Messrs. Whitehill and Sullivan for when they came up for their third batting turn they found a rookie ramed Whit- Jow Wyatt on the hill, and lttle did they glean off him.

But, just the same, he plays golf like a machine and in a heartless way—if you are his oppo- nent. But no robot would show the consideration for an opponent that Robert does, either, nor be such a good sport or so deservedly popular. * Robert Jones did a lot of work for & Jot of human beings, too, in win- ning his first British amateur crown. By his own admission it was hard work. “I never worked harder at the game,” he said, and, in a way, he did it for all the countless thou- sands who were pulling for him to win this championship which had always eluded him. ‘The “mental telepathy” sent over the seas to him by us all must have helped this golf machine to go through that tough week of 18-hole matches, just as 4t helped Lindy in his historic flight to Paris.

By the Associated Press. AY KOLP of Cincinnati yesterday was one of a short list of out- standing pitchers on a day of hard hitting. Kolp came to rescue Larry Benton from the brutal assaults of his former teammates, the New York Glants, and stopped them with two hits. The Giants pounded Benton for 10 hits and eight runs in less than three innings and won the game, 9 to 1. Another rookie, Art Teachout of the ing | Chicago Cubs, led the way among the few pitchers who completed the games they started. He held the Boston Braves to seven hits while his mates attacked Grimes and Cooney for 17 clouts and a 15-to-2 victory. Bill Clark had to hit as well as pitch to keep the Brooklyn Robins three games ahead of the Cubs. Brooklyn errors offset his holding the Pirates to eight hits, and Clark finally took matters in his own hands by hitting a double in the ninth inning and scoring the run that brought Brooklyn a 6-to-5 ictory.

BY HARRY ROBERT. HILADELPHIA, Pa, June 4.— Grover Cleveland Alexander says he’s through as a big league pitcher. He admits that “like the one hoss shay,” his usefulness in the big leagues is at an end. Alexander, who was given his uncondi- tional release by the Philadelphia Na- tional League club yesterday hopes to land a pitching job on some good minor league team. He says he realizes he can’t win in the big leagues any more, but he believes he can pitch in AA leagues and would like to go out on the coast. “I'm just going to sit tight here for a few days and see what turns up,” he said, when asked today about his plans. “I haven't & thing in view just at pres- ent; that is, no connections.” Joined Phils in 1911. Alexander first joined the Phillies in 1911, being drafted from Syracuse, then in the New York State League. He did not show much in Spring training, but found himself against the Athletics in the Spring series, and was a great pitch- er from the start He pitched brilliantly for the Phils until he and Bill Killifer, his battery mate, were traded to Chicago for play- ers and a cash consideration reported to be $50,000 in the Winter of 1917. He won for the Cubs until the middle of the 1926 season, when he was sold to St. Louis for the waiver price. He helped the Cardinals defeat the Yankees in the world series that year, carrying off the biggest part of the individual glory. Just 12 years from the time he left, he returned to the Phils last December, coming with Catcher Harry McCurdy in a trade with St. Louis for Pitcher Bob McGraw and Outfielder Homer Peel. Alexander holds the National League record for victories, having scored 373 triumphs since he came into the league. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) SAN ICISCO, June 4 (#).—Wade Killefer, manager of the San Francisco Missions base ball team, said today that he will seek to acquire Grover Cleve- land Alexander, big league pitcher, who was released by the Philadelphia Na- tional League team.

Interstate’s ““Circus” Enjoyed Immensely by Naval Hospital BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ANAGER WESLEY McDON- ALD sat on the Interstate bench. He raved, pleaded, . threatened, begged and finally 2| laughed hysterically as he watched Naval Hospital roll up one of the biggest and most decisive scores in a Government league game this season on his team. Interstate must have had the circus on their minds. Ernie Hiser, their shortstop, it was known, was attending “Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth” and the other Interstaters may just as well have been there. However, the whole team couldn't take the day off, so they did the next best thing and put on a circus of their own before a doubtfully appreciative audience of over 2,000. i ‘The game meant a lot to both Inter- state and Naval Hospital, but after the second inning Interstate's interest in the affair fell with a bang.

It was up to Al Johnston, though, to provide the patrons in the ringside seats the most merriment when he kicked a home run. He pulled this stunt when Ed Grayson, Naval Hospital third baseman, socked what looked like a double and Johnston tried to stop it with his foot, but the caress that was meant to be gentle booted the ball all the way over to the North Ellipse and Grayson continued on his way. In the meantime, “Rebel” Crews, who recently cruised into the Naval Hospital line-up, was giving a fine exhibition of left-handed pitching and, although touched for 10 safeties, kept them so well scattered that he was never in danger. Manager McDonald, who played the part of the ringmaster after he took himself out, intends to bring a bigger and better troup of ball players to the Interstate-Navy Yard game Friday. Naval Hospital's victory gives them a first place tie with G. P. O. ‘Tomorrow the largest crowd of the season is expected to turn out when the Union Printers and Naval Hospital hook up.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, June 4.—Owner Wil- liam Wrigley, jr., is ready to do some more big spending for player talent, but his crippled Cubs may change his mind. ‘When Pitcher Hal Carlson died and Rogers Hornsby broke his ankle last week the Cub owner immediately began to canvass the major and minor league field for help. But since then the crip- pled champions have been unstoppable, winning all their games, and the con- templated deals have been postponed. “Bud” Teachout suddenly came to life and looks like he is ready to take Carlson’s turn on the mound; Vic “Footsy” Blair took the Rajah's place at second and has been hitting better than .400 and fielding sensationally. “Sock” Seibold, whom the Cubs sent to the Boston Braves in the Hornsby deal, is known to be one pitcher the Cubs have in mind, while Frank Cro- setti, star shortstop for the San Fran- cisco club of the Pacific Coast League, is the infielder. The two, if obtainable at all, probably would cost the Cubs a total of $150,000. Blenheim, 18-to-1 Shot, Annexes English Derby PSOM DOWNS, England, June - (#).—Before a vast throng, in- cluding the King, Queen, princes and many Americans, the Aga Khan, an Indian prince living in France, won the Derby stakes today with his colt Blenheim, ridden by Jockey H.

Y., June 4—Max Schmeling unintentionally threw a scare into the fight writers assembled to peer at He extended his right hand to a scribbler visiting at his cottage and for the first time it was noticed that Max’s third finger on his right hand was bent so that the tip almost touched the palm and could not be straightened. Schmeling’s right hand is his best punching At the same time Max said weapon. that he had invited Dr. W. C. Fralick, New York surgeon, who has operated on the injured hands of many fighters, to visit him here Thursday. Immedi- ately it became obvious that Max was suffering from a broken digit. The German heavyweight got a chuckle out of the situation as he made his easy explanation. The finger, never before no- ticed by newspaper men, was infected with blood poisoning when Schmeling was 8 years old and 14 minor operations left the digit stiffened and bent over. He plans to play golf with Dr. Fralick, who once operated upon a broken bone in his left thumb.

Y., June 4— The low caliber of the cane non fodder supplied to Max Schmeling continues to be the theme for much conversation among the visiting scribblers. The sparring partners have come and gone in great numbers, but so far nobody has been sent to the post who has been capable of giving Max a workout even remotely ap- proximating what he will be up against the night of June 12. Visitors drifting in from Sharkey's camp turn up their noses at Schmel« ing’s sparring partners, loudly declars ing that none of them classes with Johnny Grosso, Jimmy Braddock or Paul Cavaller, who have had the gloves on with Sharkey. ‘That is true enough, but, on the other hand, it may be pointed out that Schmeling has faced new types almost every day, whereas Sharkey is so well acquainted with Grosso, through having worked with him for years, that he probably could look good against Johnny even if blindfolded. Recruiting Se: Mushky Jackson led out three new shock absorbers yesters day after a flying trip to New York in search of heavyweights willing to take & battering for $25 a day. They we: Jack Shaw, Frankie Bush and C Lackner. Only Bush Proves of Aid. Bush flashed some speed and made Schmeling step a bit. Shaw was through after taking a couple of hard rights on the chin. Lackner folded up the first time Max rammed a right into his stomach. These fellows will not be much assistance. Umberto Torriani also took & shellacking. It would seem that if Schmel really desires a sparring partner wi will speed him up and be able to take & punch he could lay hold of one if he would shell out $100 a* day. It takes real money to coax a fighter who has bit of reputation to assume the men! role of sparring partner. After all, is it so necessary to have & capable and costly corps of punch abe sorbers? Gene Tunney was a master al whipping himself into condition for s fight, yet he, when he was getting ready to wrest the title from Dempsey, did not seem to set much store by sparring practice.

Sharkey Under Handicap Of Being Corbett’s Pick BY HARRY DIME. ' JRANGEBURG, N. Y., June 4— Jack Sharkey's camp yester= resembled a cross between casual ), of Sharkey took occasion to drop in either by automobile or train. James J. Corbett and Benny Leonard, who were among present, attracted as much attention as the man who will shortly defend the pugilistic prestige of the United States and Lithuania against the assault of the German schlager, Mr. Schmeling. Jim Corbett, looking about 20 years younger than his age, undic- mayed by his notorious failures as a true prophet concerning pugilistic events of the past, made a definite prediction concerning Jack Sharkey. After watching him step against Johnny Grosso, Paul Cavalier and the fast-moving King Solomon, Gentleman Jim gave it as his opin- ion that the ex-gob is going to knock Schmeling’s head into left fleld when the two meet—it being under- stood that this fight will take place in a ball park. g men forget a set never reminds you is of special absorb- Spalding Neckties retain thelr $1.50, $2, $2.50 Visiting and interviewing the master German Master-Brewer fto GERMANY_ 2 i | f2 AL Brewers as he went from one great brewing center to another—Berlin, Munich, Dresden, Dortmund, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Pilsen, and many others —he acquired a vast fund of priceless knowledge of the time-tested processes and modern methods by which they develop the marvelous quality of their famous brews.
