Sports News —_ he WASHINGTON, Foening Star. WITH SUNDAY MORKING EDITION ., TUESDAY, JUNE 10, JONES JOINS JUDGE ONTHE AILING LIST Trade With Chisox Rumored as Final With Indians Is Staged. BY JOHN B. Kl LEVELAND, June 10— Their visit to Tigertown not so profitable and re- pulsed with severe loss in raid on the LER. their row will look for where. Following the wind-up of the series with the Tribe this aft- ernoon, their schedule sends them ihto Chicago, where they are to tackle the White Sox the next three days. The Nationals may find the going better there than they have thus far in the western sector. hen ihe Bushmen were in Woashington last month they were defeated in three of four games and had to work overtime for their lone win. But then the Na- tionals were playing much better ball than at present. What a walloping the Washington club has taken recently. Only two weeks ago today the club was leading the American League with a four- game advantage over the second-place Athletics. Since, however, they have been defeated eight times in 10 starts and now are in second place, trailing the A’s three games. What's more, the Indians by licking them, 4 to 3, here yesterday pulled themselves to within half a game of second place. And the fourth-place Yankees are not so far back of the Washington outfit. champion A’s may be even mcre close- ly bunched before this swing of the East through the West ends. S though the Nationals hadn't been having enough trouble lately, what with their pitchers first wabbling | and their batters then slumping, along | comes another misfortune in the form | of an injury to Joe Judge, veteran first | sacker, Joe sprung a charley-horse in his left leg yesterday and may be on the bench for some time. ., _ The injury, the first of its nature Judge has suffered in three seasons, came in the second inning, when Joe beat out an infield hit.

Z . Ifi $he meantime Hayes will cover first base. Jack, of course, will give the club all he has, but Judge will be sorely missed. NOTHER ailing Griffman came to light yesterday. Sam Jones, the somber squire Who had been Visit- ing his home in Woodsfield, Ohio, re- ported when joining the club here that a glandular affection had kept him in | bed two days and that it still so affect- ed him that he probably would not be able to work in the pitcher’s box for several days. Jones had been expected to pitch the | final game of the series here this after- | noon. His condition forcing him to | idle, the Nationals had only Bump Had- | ley and Myles Thomas of the right-| handed division of the mound corps left | to use against the Indians and it was| likely that Hadley would get the call. RADE rumors are in the air here. | 'Tis said a deal between the| Nationals and Browns is contem- plated, but Manager Johnson will not confirm any trade reports. The rumor may be like that which went the rounds in Detroit while tife Nationals were there—pure bunk. Then “twas said Manager Harris was looking for something Washington had in ex- change for Bob Fothergill, right-hand swinging outfielder. As a matter of fact, neither Harris nor Manager John- son made any move to effect a trade. Furthermore, no one in authority onl! either club made any statemeny con- cerning the possibility of a trade. This present rumor doesn't seem to bhave any reasonable foundation, for the | only players the Browns have that the Nationals would like to get are George Blaeholder, pitcher, and Fred Schulte, outfielder. ' Offers for these players have been made before and spurned by the | St. Louis ownership, which wanted much | more than Washington felt it could af- | ford to give. There’s a chance, though, that a trade with the White Sox may be ar- ranged. They have something the Nationals would very much like to pos- | sess and the Nationals have something | the White Sox desire. With only five | more days remaining before the big league laws ban intra-league trading | and both clubs feeling as they do, there may be some deal effected in Chicago. N the second game of the series here | the Griffimen got eight hits off the | left-handed Walter Miller, while the | Indians got just seven off Fred Mar- | berry. but the Nationals made their | hits_count in only two innings, while | the Indians made theirs count in three | —and_won. Each pitcher was cracked for a homer | and each pitcher granted two passes. | Only one pass off each pitcher affected the scoring, however. The homer off Marberry was the first of the game. It was a drive by Eddie | Morgan over the right feld wall with Miller on first base in the third inning. The homer off Miller was a_drive by Joe Cronin over the wall back of ce ter field with no cne on the runway in | the fifth. After this hit, which opened the inning, though Myer bunted a sin- gle, Bluege walked, Spencer sacrificed and Marberry singled to send over two more tallies. Morgan paved the way to the In- dians tying marker by starting his side’s sixth batting turn with a triple. Eddie crossed as Joe Sewell singled. EORGE LOEPP'S triple and Goose Goslin’s one-baser in the Nats' eighth broke the deadlock, but the In- dians came right back for two runs and victory. There was a lot of luck con- SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 ().— Night base ball will make its Pacific Coast League debut tonight at Sacra- mento, with prospects that the 12,000 | attendance record at Moreing Field, | which seats about 20,000, will be broken at the first game under the flood lights. The Senators, who have kept in front of the league pack under old-fashioned | sunlight, were considercd ready for their new test, having had a final workout on the field Jast night with ail lights in operation. Tonight they will play the Oakland team, a strong contender for first division honors. The Seattle tcam played a night game last night against a non-league team, the Tacoma All-Stars, and lost, 2 to 1. The game was played in the Tacoma Stadium, and was considered a playing success despite the late twilight in the | Puget Sound regicn. The spectators were not so sure, for Tacoma nights are| chilly, even in Summer. ST. ELIZABETH NINE LIES 7S BATILES Has Three Hard Games This Week—Northerns Victors at Fredericksburg.

Johnny Hodapp singled and so did Ea;l Averill and the game again was tied. Averill's hit, which moved Hedapp to third base, brought Garland Braxton to Marberry’s relief. Bob Seeds, first to face Braxton, took a mighty swing, but only succeeded in topping the ball. It rolled about 25 feet in front of the plate and both Spencer and the pitcher went after it. Spencer reached it first and tossed out the batter, letting Hodapp cross the unprotected plate with the big run of the contest.

Not as mighty as Babe Ruth, of course, but I am sure that his right arm has won almost as many games as the Big Bam's bat to date. The Danish righthander has, in fact, won nearly a third of the Yankee vic- tories to date, and where Hoyt fal- tered and Pennock had a hard time getting started, the younger and less famous George Pipgras went right on, winning 7 out of his first 10 games and taking a big load off ‘Manager Bob Shawkey’s mind. Far from being a melancholy Dane, Pip is quite a happy person, especially when he is getting his base hits., Now that double he got in beating Boston on May 19 pleased him much more than his fine twirl- ing.

OPED By The LATE MILLER S, FRaRAS 1S NOW ONE oF e litan Newspeper Service: the next world series, but I doubt if both of them are in it, anyway. George's fourth victory of the sea- son, by the way, the one in which he smacked the aforementioned two- base hit, was his third shutout in a month, and also the second three- hit game for him in 1930, Some of these days you're going to read of George Pipgras turning in a no-hit, no-run game. Paste that in your hat! Pipgras has proved more than once this year that he is the star of the Yankee's hurling staff. George Pipgras was bom in Ala- meda, Calif., December 20, 1899. He did a little pitching for the Yankees in 1923 and 1924, and came back as a regular in 1927, to win 10 games and lose 3; 1928 was his big season, with 24 wins against 13 losses, while last season he won 18 and lost 12. His world series record is 1.000 per cent perfect, for Pip won a game from the Pirates in 1927 and one from the Cards in 1928, while losing none. You can be sure that Shawkey won't let the Great Dane hander, Dazzy Vance. Well, here's hoping they each get some hits in A Little Square Shooting. T might be just as well in this im- pending Sharkey-Schmeling con- troversy to see that a foreign fight- er gets something approaching a square shot, whoever wins. You may still recall what happened to Paulino the night he fought Jack Delaney. The Spaniard nailed Delaney about two inches above the waistline with a left hook, and, much to Delaney's | astonistment, he was given the fight on a foul that no one else could see. | Firpo was given the razzle dazzle in | every known way without any protec- tion. Almost every one who saw the | Scott-Sharkey fight at Miami admitted | | that Scott had been fouled at least | twice. The booing and hooting of Criqui is an episode of the ring over here that is still remembered. No wonder the opinion has spread around the world that no outside fight- er can get a square deal in this coun- try if any important title is at stake. We have proved too many times that this is true. We only have to prove it about once more to stand convicted as a nation that at least supports cheating. It isn’t particularly important wheth- er Sharkey or Schmeling wins this next fight. - But it is important that for once the invader at least gets something ap- proaching an even break—no more and no_less. If this can't be done under existing conditions there is no reason at all for permitting the game to live. There has been entirely tco much raw stuff spilled around the landscape already and most of it has happened in New York. Just about one more fuzzy episode will be enough to break up the show, pro- | vided there is any element of the sport- ing side left. The Next Argument. T will be interesting to see just what national or international argument will break loose after this next fight. Almost every heavyweight battle of any consequence has provided some wild and woolly debate that lasted for months. The Dempsey-Firpo fight was all loaded up with arguments of one sort or another. So was the Dempsey- Sharkey fight in the great foul or no foul controversy. The wildest argu- ment of them all broke loose over the famous long cqunt in the second Tun- ney-Dempsey battle. Those who saw the Sharkey-Scott clash_admit without debate that Scott was fouled, but most of them merely counter with the old “What of it?" It is up to the New York State Box- ing Commission to pick the squarest and most capable referee it can name and to see that this referee is backed up with the best judges available. If there it any trouble the answer goes back directly to the commission. The whole matter is extremely simple. There are certain rules that govern a fight and it is only necessary to see that these rules are enforced by both s! . If this can’t be done, there is no rea- son for continuing a game that is be- yond any control. Scrambled Dope. Schmeling's comparative inex- p!m:l)cle and lack of boxing ability on one side and Sharkey’s box score in the temperamental league on the other, there still remains no firm:peg upon Kamm Benched in Big Shake-Up on White Sox CHICAGO, June lfll(IPl —Willie Kamm, who led American League third basemen in fielding in 1928 and 1929, has been benched by Man- ager.Donle Bush of the White Sox. Kamm has failed to get started this season and was included in a wholesale shift which sent Irving Jeffries to third base, Smead Jolley from right fleld to left, Carl Rey- nolds to rlglt and Johnny Watwood to center, in an effort to add punch to the Sox attack.

It is all well enough to say that Sharkey ought to win rather easily— if he fights his fight. But that happens to be an if that has scrambled the situation too often before.

Yesterday Hayes hit a foul tip which broke a finger on Luke’s right hand. The injury will put the first= string receiver out of the .game for ' probably three weeks, it was said.

BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. ASE ball games won in the Spring count as much as the ones won in September, but the Washing- ton club is discovering that it| takes more than an April and May winning streak to keep in the midst of the American League fight. True, Washington still is clinging tenaciously to second place in the junior circuit, but every day sees the Indians creeping closer and closer. Today Cleve- land is only a half game away, while out in front, setting a burning pace, lnre the Athletics with a three-game ead. On May,28 Walter Johnson had his team showing the way by four full games, with the world champions striv- ing to maintain the fast clip. Then something happened to the seemingly perfect machine. The hitters failed to hit and the pitchers lacked the magic touch that had the base ball world talking of the “Big Train's” miracle. In 10 games since that date, the Griff- men have won only 2, while Connie Mack, with substitutes playing the role of regulars, has accounted for 10 of his 12 contests. The Indians also shift- ed into high and won 7 of their last 10 games. A glance at the records shows the Athletics to be playing .833 base ball since May 28, with the Indians h!‘;.slng & .700 clip and Washington only 2 A’s Strengthen Lead. Taking advantage of Washington's defeat, the Athletics strengthened their hold on first place by eking out a. vic- | tory over the White Sox, 3 to 2. Big Bob Weiland held the champlons at bay for eight innings, but in the ninth they bunched two of their six hits with | a base on balls and a sacrifice fly to | score what proved to be the tying and winning runs. Chad Kimsey turned in a brilliant bit of relief hurling at St. Louis, but hold- ing the Yankees to five hits in six in- nings failed to stop them from defeat- ing the Browns, 8 to 5. The Yanks scored seven of their runs off Crowder in the first three innings. Kimsey went to the mound with none out in the third, gave two hits that inning, and thereafter had the New Yorkers eating out of his hand, with the exception of one run scored in the ninth.

EAH, Bill,” remarked Charlie Warren. “I've tried golf and I reckon it's a good enough game, but it's base ball for me.” Old-timers may Temember Charlie Warren as one of the best shortstops ever to perform on the local sandlots. That was in the days when the Union Printers, the Mohawks and the old Dominicum Lyceum team had a mon- opoly on the sandlots. Charlie_ was talking to Bill Flester, manager of the Howard A. French team and president of the Industrial League among other things, when Bill brought Up the question of whether Warren was going to attempt a comeback. i “You bet I'd like to come back, chirped Charlie, “and if I can get back in the Union Printers’ line-up Il be sitting pretty!” 1t i nothing unusual for an old-timer to essay a comeback for there are many here who are_doing it right now, but with Charlie Warren it's different. Also a War Veteran. Charlie. is a veteran of the World Wwar besides of the sandlots, and the thing that put him out of business for the past five years was an attack of flu which he attributes as the result of his service in France. After playing with the Typos until 1925, he hurt his spine and was forced to give up the game. But he has had two operations performed, one tonsil and one for sinus trouble and, according to Charlie, him- self, he is in the “pink.” Perhaps his presence in the Printer line-up may awaken last year’s champs of the Government League out of the slumber they have been indniging in and help them to put up a real fight for the second- half title. Charlie has been working out almost daily in an efort to get back in shape and is hoping for an opportunity to break into two of the four games left on the Typo schedule in order to be eligible for the second half, To play in today's game against G. P. O, however, is out of question, sulted from Walter Shomo's protest of the game which the Typos won from G. P. O. earlier in the season by the score of 14 to 1. Jimmy Dewhurst, Typo right felder, unintentionally broke a rule of the league by playing with another week-day team in another loop, and Louis Hood, president of the league, has announced that only those players, who participated in the first game be- tween these two teams are eligible to- day. But there are three more left on the schedule and Warren is hopeful of breaking into at least two of them in drder to play in the second half. | The Printers have only a ghost of a for this game is the play-off which re- | Browns slowly pounded away at Ruf-| chance of winning the first half race, Sandlot Vet, After Trying Golf, Seeks Comeback in Base Ball but they are confident of their ability to repeat last year's performance of winning the second half and then beat- ing the winner of the first. Has Faith in Typos. Cock-sure of the Typo's chances for the champlonship, Warren said: “The Printers always were late starters and this year is the same, I guess. But when the end of the season rolls around they're always at the top. “Remember the days when the Print- ers, Mohawks and Dominicum Lyceum put on that battle for the city cham- plonship?” he asked. Boy, that was & fight. Each team had a pitching ace. The Mohawks had Walter Beall, the Dominicums had Mickey M'Connell and we had Heinie Webb, and it took some good pitching by Beall to beat us out for the city title.

He has played in five national tourna- ments, the local Typos winning four of these. In his first tournament, in 1922, Charlie batted .587, leading all hitters of the 13 clubs entered. He was also a star performer on Buck Grier’s Petworth, which was composed of high school boys and earned the name of “wonder boys.” “Well,” sighed Charlie as he got ready to leave French's sport store, “I sure would like to play with the Printers again, and if I can only qualify for the second half serfes I'm pretty certain I can still bang 'em out.” T has been decided by Bill Flester and Buck Grier to play the second game of the District independent championship series between the North- erns and the Frenchies on July 13 at the Grifith Stadium.

His Boxing Improved, Schmeling Declares BY WALTER TRUMBULL. ENDICOTT, N. Y. June 10— think I am in my best condition,’ Max Schmeling said to me toda; “T feel good. I am well and strong. The attractive young German lis- tens seriously to questions and an- swers them seriously. That is one thing in his favor. He has a good brain and he uses it. “Do you think,” I asked him, “that your boxing has improved?"” “Yes,” he answered. “I think I can adapt myself better to different styles.” And, he added, “my left hand is better.” 1 think he is correct concerning that. Watching him box six rounds I thought that his left hand had im- proved considerably. But his right hand is still his chief weapon. It is like an old friend and he can de- pend upon it, shoot it from any angle. He is ’emng acquainted with his left, but it is still only an acquaintance. . 1930, by North American News- | (copyriant. 1930, by aorth Ac »- Columbus, Ohio—Mike O'Dowd, Co- | BY BENNY LEONARD. NDICOTT, N. Y, June 10— After having watched Max Schmeling in his training over a period of three weeks I have come to the conclusion that Max has not improved in his boxing, but in- stead has acquired a few faults. Big League BASE BALL Playing First Base BY AL DEMAREE. A left-handed first baseman has a great advantage over a right-hander in throwing and fielding his posi- tion. There have been many great right-handed guardians of the in- itial sack, but they.could never make the plays executed by Hal Chase, Jake Daubert and Charley Grimm. It is in flelding bunts that the left-hander has the best of it. He is in position to sneak up on the batter when it looks like & sacrifice is certain and throw to either sec- ond or third base without turning around, as the right-hander must do. Practice these throws to second | | and third base for force plays when- ever you have the opportunity. Don't be merely ‘a stationary first baseman and a target for the in- flelders to throw at. Practice throwing underhand as well as overhand. An underhand throw saves time. Play deep and well off the bag with first base unoccupied. Never take your eye off the pitcher it first base is occupied until after he has delivered the ball. Learn not to cross your feet. ‘There is a right way and a wrong way to touch the bag. The left foot and not the right foot is the one to be used in making putouts. Save this big league base ball se- ries. Another will appear tomorrow.

Leonard Finds Schmeling Fine, Declared W orse So far as his physical condition i concerned, Max has shown wonderful improvement. He was in tip-top shape physic: when I first looked at him here, bit he has improvea his wing and apparently his endurance to an amazing extent. The fellow actually appears tireless. But each time I returned to Enjole Health Camp I expected to sse Max in a smoother boxing stride and with an improved defense, but I have not unbeend able to discover anything of the I say Max has acquired faults. Onme of these, particularly noticeable in his later workouts, was that he pawed at his opponent with his right hand, his best weapon, in an endeavor to smack down the sparring partner’s extended left hand. By resorting to this trick Max takes out of commission his most damaging weapon, his heaviest gun; for, in case he wants to shoot the right, he necessarlly .has to draw it back to guard position and in this way auto- matically telegraphs the blow. Max should not waste valuable time and motion in trying to knock down his opponent's left, especially when it is not coming at him in a punch. Better for him if he kept his own right cocked in readiness to shoot it over in case an | opening presents itself. Not only does Max tie up the use of his own right by this fault, but he also leaves elf open and liable to a crack from the opponent's left. In the case of Sharkey this would be particu- larly damaging, for Jack has developed a killing left hook for the coming fight. Now another thing I find fault with in Schmeling’s workouts here is that he has changed his style again. Instead of working in the crouching position with which he began his training, he has been assuming of late a straight stance such as he used of old. I find it difficult to understand why Max should have spent so much time in perfecting or improving his crouch- ing attack, only to discard it after weeks of practice. I think that in this new . position Schmeling will be rather an easy mark for Sharkey's left jab. Even Max’s sparring partners have found him with a left jab since he has been standing upright. Aside from these faults I have point- ed out, Max Schmeling appears to be in the finest sort of fettle for a fight. He seems able to go on fighting at the same clip without showing the least signs of fatigue. I believe he recuper- ates more rapidly than Sharkey from exertion.

Sailor May Outweix?: Max 20 Pounds in Ring BY WILBUR WOOD. RANGEBURG, N. Y., June 10.— ‘There seems to be a lot of kid- ding going on. On top of a yarn from Endicott that Max Schmeling has been indulging in secret work- outs for several days the writer learns from a source that should be reliable that Jack Sharkey has been and still is spoofing the correspond- ents along in regard to his weight. According to the word buzzed into this observer's ear the gob tips the beam at about 205 pounds and wili register at 202 or 203 when he steps on_the scales Thursday afternoon. Should Sharkey's weight be as high as this latest tip makes it and should Schmeling scale as light as he looks there would be a difference of about 20 pounds between them, or twice as much as the official com- muniques have made out. What difference this would make is a moot question,
