Sports News FOUR-GAME STAND | TOTEST PITCHERS Socking Indians to Furnish Fielders Toil Aplenty. Tigers Pummel Jones. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, June 6.—There should be plenty for Washington fielders to do during the next four days. In that time the Nationals will be tackling the Indians in Cleveland, and tackling Indians these days generally means a lot of work for the fielders of the club doing the tackling. The Nationals, with their hurl- ers somewhat shaky, are not con- templating the four-game series with any great relish. The In- dians may not be particularly brilliant afield nor especially strong on the slab, but they can hit, and right now the best thing Washington pitchers do is yield hits freely. The fielders ought to get a deal of leg work at Dunn Field. When the Tribe visited Washington last month only two games were played with it. Rain washed out one of the scheduled tilts. In the first of those two engagements the Indians hammered ‘Washington pitching as though it had been made to order for them. Eddie Morgan opened the game by socking the first pitch into the sun parlor for & homer and the Tribe went on to get 16 more hits of assorted sizes and win comfortably. In the second game the Indians actually outhit the Nats, but their hits were so scattered that they could not muster enough runs to tri- umph. ‘The Tribe was tough enough in ‘Washington. On its home lot it is apt to be much tougher. The Indians have a way of bouncing hits off the wall back of their short right fleld. Oddly, the Nats never have 'n_particularly successful at this stunt. Nor have the Washington outfielders ever acquired the knack of deftly scooping up drives bouncing of the Cleveland yard wall. Dunn Pleld heretofore has been pretty | Mye: much of a jinx park for the Nationals. | Bluege They don't like to play in it. Schedule makers, though, don’t con- |3 sider the likes and dislikes of ball clubs, -?1 th; Nationals have four rough days ahea HILE the Washington pitchers are rocky at present, it is hoped by those in charge of the club that Liska, Brown, Jones and Hadley or Marberry will be able to subdue the heavy-hit- ting Indians. Excepting Hadley, all mentioned are in good trim physically | J and each might be able to find a full game in his system. Hadley’s salary ‘wing still is slightly sore, but the all- ment is not so serious that Bump will to be kept out of the Cleveland Lisks never has been particularly successful the Indians. Nor has lF‘m'n, for that matter. Jones and arberry, against them. It , usually pitch well them in Washington last month. All the Washington pitchers should be well rested as they enter the series. No member of the staff has managed to stay on the hill in a recent game long enough to become seriously worn. GAIN yesterday the Nationals had to call on two pitchers. Jones was !‘Il:l.lhl:d to check %mflkwfl Was after going throug] innings. g:ksurka then did some heaving that stopped the Harris horde, but the Nats already had been licked, 6 to 2. Jones was hit in five of his six rounds, the Tigers getting to him for 10 safe- ties. One was good for three base and four were doubles. Sam also issued three passes, but only one figured in the Detroit run-making. Off Burke the Tigers got a single and a walk, both in the seventh inning, but double-play got the stringbean left-hander out of trouble. 'ONES started poorly, but held the Tigers to one run in the opening round. He walked Gehringer with one out and after Rogell lofted into re- tirement singles by Alexander and Stone put over the tally. Then Sam passed Koenig to crowd the bases, but Myer made a sparkling stop and threw out Johnson to check the home side temporarily. ‘The Tigers came back in the second session to get four runs, but had Judge been more accurate with a throw to the plate only one would have crossed. With Hargrave out, Sorrell singled and pulled up at third as Funk doubled. Judge picked up Gehringer’s roller and chucked toward the plate to cut down Sorrell. The throw was far wide of the mark, though, and when Spencer jumped away from the counting block to grab the ball Sorrell slid across safely. Gehringer then pilfered second and counted with Funk as Rogell singled. After Alexander went out Stone tripled to put over the fourth marker. The Tigers got their last run in the sixth g on doubles by Funk and Alexander. FF Sorrell the Nats collected 10 hits. They nicked him for two singles in the first inning, but two were out when the second hit was made and Cronin's best was a hoist to center. They clustered three hits in the fourth for all their scores. Goslin opened the Tound with a drive over the right-fleld wall, his seventh homer of the season. Cronin singled after Judge went out, and Bluege walked after Myer was retired, then Spencer singled Cronin to the counting block. Two hits were wasted in the sixth. Judge singled, only to be caught with Cronin in a double play. Myer came through with a two-bagger, but Bluege haisted to Johnson in right. With one gone in the eighth Judge walked, and after Cronin flied out Myer hit his sec- ond double of the game. Bluege, though, grounded to the shortstop. TPTEEN successive games with hits now is the extent of Sam Rice's second batting streak of the se: son. Sam got but one blow yesterday, a single the first time up. Most of the Nationals took in the Carnera-Christner scrap here last night. Big Primo had the athletes goggle- eyed. With such huge hands the Italian would have made a great ball player, Al Schacht opined. “But,” added Al, “t would keep him broke buying leather enough to make base ball shoes for those feet.” COLUMBIA JUNIORS SCORE.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. STUDENT of psychology might well find material for research in the mysterious something which makes base ball players who have been traded from one club to another do their best against their former mates. This phenomenon has been remarkably evident in this sea- son's games and all the more notice- able because of numerous recent trades. The New York Giants, now composed to a considerable extent of former Cin- cinnati players, dispersed one great feat after another as they swept a three- game serles with the Reds. Lacking the perfect combination of having an ex-New York pitcher opposed to them, the Giants didn't do their best in this line, as they won the final game yes- terday, 7 to 4. But Hughey Critz, known as a light hitter before he came to New York, upheld the tradition by hitting a single and a home run and driving in two runs. Ole:n ‘Wright, whom the Pittsburgh Pirates sent to Brooklyn in exchange for Jess Petty two seasons ago, returned to action against his old team yesterday and was instrumental in giving the Robins a 6 to 5 victory. Wright helped to drive Petty from the mound with a heavy batting attack that gave Brook- lyn a good lead, then played the key position in a fast and close double play that ended fl":: gllm!;l when the Pirates seemed sure e the score. Rolly Hemsley, second victim of the twin killing, and Jewel Ens and Max Carey, Pittsburgh manager and coach, put up such a violent protest on Um- NE of the biggest reasons why Naval Hospital is leading the Government League by two full games is the pitching of Ingram. His first name is Lloyd, but there are few who call him that. He is Pete to his teammates and local sandlot fans, and now another fragment of a nick- name is tacked onto him. It is “Smoky Pete.” His record is one of the best on the local sandlots today. Last year, while playing in the Departmental League on week days and some Sunday ball now and then, Ingram won 22 consecutive games. He spent the early part of this season with the Winston-Salem club, returning to Naval Hospital only a short time ago. Am‘l’d{nz to Manager Dakin, Ingram recently turned down an offer to join the Reading Keys of the International ‘g:'; itched two mo-hit, no-run & pitches -hit, no- games while attending high school on the West Coast,” declared Dakin, “and only last Sunday he turned in a one- hit e over the strong McRae club of Rgllanmond. He pitched for the Union Printers that day.” “I've mever kno Pete to lose his head on any kind of a decision, or to throw up the sponge when the game wrong,” he added, “and we owe much of our success both in the De- partmental and the Government Leagues to his pitching.” Ingram resembles another player who starred on the sandlots here a few years ago, Walter Beall, former Yankee who aiso had a try-out with Beall was the possessor of one of the sharpest-breaking drops in the game and Ingram has one that is not far behind. Pete, however, has much better control. Tots Long, veteran player-coach of the Nonlr’l"e\glusx.ngl, tells a funny one about Lef yre. “Lefty wyu ?mmu for Martinsburg in the Blue Ridge League a few y ago,” chirped Tots, “and having been with the club but a few days, he was | still an innocent ‘babe in the woods. “Reggle Rawlings, Martinsburg man- ager, was a great joker, so when the team left for Hanover in a bus, Rawlings Sandlot Base Ball Results.

Eight in Row for Cubs. ‘The Chicago Cubs got along very well without two former Bostonians, Hornsby | and Bell, as they wound up their series against the Braves with a 10-to-7 vic- tory. It was the eighth in succession for the National League champions. Hack Wilson'’s seventeenth home run was the best of Chicago’s eleven hits. Philadelphia had homer No. 14 from the bat of Chuck Klein to aid in a 10- to-4 triumph over the slumping St. Louis Cardinals. Earl Collard, young right-hander, gave the Cards only two hits before the first two men had been retired in the ninth inning, scoring his fourth successive victory. The St. Louis representative of the American League, the Browns, had bet- ter luck with a ninth-inning rally. Go- ing into the ninth four runs behind the Philadelphia Athletics, they put on an uprising that called Jack Quinn into action as relief pitcher for the third suc- cessive day, scored five runs and won the game, 6 to 5. Cleveland, starting with nine runs in the first inning, scored early and late to beat the humble Boston Red Sox, 17 to 7. The Indians made 25 hits, one or more for every player, and drove Milton Gaston from the mound with six blows before the first man was put out. ‘The one-sided triumph left the In- dians only three games behind Wash- ington and improved their lead by half a game over the New York Yankees, who were stopped in Chicago by a heavy rain after only two innings had been played and the score was tied at one-all, Pick-Ups From the Sandlots By Francis E. Stan took Lefty aside and told him that he'd better carry a blanket along as the team would have to sleep in the bus. “Now, Rawlings had no intention of spending the night in the bus, but Mc- Intyre, innocent of a practical joke, legged the blanket all the way to Han- over, and, arriving there at dusk, Rawlings set about to make hotel reser- vations. “Every hotel in Hanover was filled and all the players, including the would- be joker, had to sleep in the bus, and McIntyre was the only one with a blanket.” Somebody yesterday suggested a new name for Eddie Edwards, Union Printer shortstop. It was “Boots” Edwards. He made four sensational stops of hard- hit grounders, but on the only two easy | chances he had he muffed them both. ‘There are several scouts looking over two or three prospects in the Terminal “Y" League, it is reported. George Brown, 19-year-old outfielder of Wash- ington Terminal, is said to be one. Brown stands over 6 feet tall and is one of the best hitters in the loop, PREP TENNIS TITLE IS TAKEN BY RUTH Robert Ruth of Friends School is the winner of the Prep School Tennis League singles tournament. He won the honor yesterday, conquering Richard Willis of Devitt in a stubbornly con- telwd four-set match, 5—7, 6—3, 6—3, Willis won the first set after Ruth had him five games to two but the latter came back to take the next three matches. The final encounter was a thriller with Ruth finally breaking through Willis’ service to gain a 9-8 lead. Then after match point had been at stake several times, Ruth finally came through with a slam that eluded his opponent and e him victory. PAGE D-—1 FIGHT T0 GET RID OF “ONIUST” TERM Misleading and Detrimental Appelation Will Be Made Object of Campaign. ORSESHOE pitchers who take their game seriously (and many do) are becom- ing resentful over the ap- pelation “barnyard golf.” So much so, in fact, that a national campaign is being organized to do away with the term. As a starter, it will be excluded from all read- ing matter issued by the leading horseshoe organizations. They hold that horseshoe pitching, as the game is played with regulation equipment and _under championship rules, has been lifted so far above the old barnyard sport that the term is belittling, unjust and deterimental to the development of the game. Have Similarities. It is pointed out that the only simi- larity between horseshoe pitching and golf is that success in both games Is dependent upon keen competitive spirit, judgment, muscular control and endur- ance. That horseshoe pitching 18 a game that arouses competitive spirit to the fullest degree was demonstrated strik- ingly in the recent congressional cham- plonship tournament sponsored by The ‘Washington Star. Players and specta- tors were making light of the affair and thoroughly enjoying their own comedy until Representatives Vestal and John- son paired off for the final. Then the spirit of contest became genuine. No horseshoe pitchers or contestants in any other sport ever tried more earncstly for victory than these two dignified legislators. It was downright grim Blanks Out Next Week. Although blanks won't be issued until next week, when they will be distributed by playground directors of Washington and chairmen of out-of-town prelimi- naries, entries already are coming in for The Star’s second annual metro- politan district tournament. July 9 has been set as the dead line for entries, with play to start on July 16. In the meantime Washington pitch- ers are urged to make use of the play- ground courts. Not all the grounds have been equipped with the regulation 6-foot boxes, but all have shoes and pegs. By the time the tournament opens all will have boxes, too. Every effort will be made this year to avoid congestion that marked last Summer's preliminaries. Special instruction in the managing of horseshoe tournaments is being given playground directors by Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, superintend- ent, and her enterprising captain, Rich- ard S. Tennyson. ¥ g BIG LEAGUE LEADERS. By the Associated Press. American League. Batting—Rice, Senators, .403. Runs—Ruth, Yankees, 52, Hits—Rice, Senators, 75. Runs batted in—Ruth, Yankees, 50.
