The Nats have tackled their Eastern rivals 29 times and triumphed 20 times. | Had they performed as well against the West, they now would be at the head | of the league with almost a four-game advantage over the A's. That Western bunch has simply been plain poison to the Washington club. F'S nothing else like Texas to - a Texan and none more com- panionable than a fellow Texan. Art Shires, newest of Nats, is a citizen | of the Lone Star State, and already the | Texas brotherhood assembled in Wash- fngton sees in Art the making of Wal- ter Johnson's club. The Texans are | ftrong for Shires and, now that he| wears a Washington uniform, just as gtrong for the Washington club. Many | 5 of them were out to greet him. Thurs- day and they were in Griffith Stadium dgain yesterday. Texas money will péur into the Nats' a: #icket offices during the remainder 0“3 the season. They're an entertaining lot, too, these Texan, and already a band of them has arranged a luncheon for Arthur s:e Great. The Texas delegation in le House of Representatives — 18 strong—will be host to Shires at noon next Tuesday. And the lunch will be t over in style, too. It's to be served the private dining room of the jpeaker of the House. . With brilliant raiment, spats, Art will attend. But hell be at the ball yard by 0. Social affairs dre s part of Art’s life, he says, “but base ball's my one big business and I| nnot let anything interfere with it ring the season.” UMP HADLEY, pitcher of whom much was expected by Manager | Johnson this season, but who Basn't set the league afire as yet, has an odd record for one not finishing much of what he starts. He has stepped to the slab a dozen times this season to begin a ball game. Four times he has @gone the route and each time scored a win.” Eight times he has been yanked, Yet In only three of these games in which he has been taken out has he been charged with defeat. In the five others three victories were scored by Bump's successors. So far Hadley has won four games and lost three. Right Jucky for a pitcher who has been der- ricked eight times in 12 starts. ADLEY'S latest defeat was handed him yesterday by the White Sox in a game just about as odd as his record this season. Bump stepped along well the first five frames, yielding but two safetles and & pass, then he blew in the sixth after two were out and gave up two hits for a run. The Nats got this run back for him, but he faltered again in the seventh, and the first two batters up nicked him for safeties that enabled the Chicago club to tuck away the ball game, 2 to 1. All told the White Sox got seven hits off Bump and nothing more than a base on balls off Fred Marberry, who faced them the last two Innings. Seven hits were made off Ted Lyons by the Nats, too, and the White Sox chucked in three errors—all in one inning—yet this assortment was good for only one run. And one of the errors was mixed in the making of the tally. - Lyons kept the hits well scattered, only once ylelding as many as two in an inning. Two double plays also helped Ted. He figured in one of these flelding feats, relaying Kerr's throw to the plate get Cronin, who had tried to score om third after the White Sox short- stop had rocked on his heels in short Jeft to get under Bluege's hoist. Off balance, Kerr threw poorly, and only :fl'm‘u' ald clipped the Washington run- er. YONS blazed the way to the first| ‘White Sox run when he doubled ‘with two out in the sixth. Kerr fol- Jowed with a single to left, and Ted raced home. : A wild chuck by Cissell helped the Fats put over a_counter in the last half of the inning. Rice dragged a bunt by Lyons to the second baseman for a hit, and continued to the middle station when Cissell chucked wildly by Clancy. Manush rolled to the first baseman fislte went to third, and scored when Gronin singled. « Two more White Sox errors followed, But they did not help the Nats. Clancy let Shires' grounder go through the wickets, and Cronin made third on the drror. Joe and Art tried a double steal, but Joe was run down and tagged out v Tate after mucn throwing around the ball. Shires tore around the run- way during the run-down, but Tate's eave to Kamm beat Art to third. How- er, the runner slid into the bag with such force that the ball was knocked gnm Kamm's hand. and Umpire uthrie, who had ruled Art out, re- wersed his decision. A big argument_ ensued, resulting in | the banishment of Cissell, who talked | Kerr chifted to second | went to short, | ut of turn.. se, and Hunnefield after which Myer walked, only to be randed with Shires when Bluege skied the leftfielder. * Reynolds' triple, that opened the deventh, and Jolley's ingle picked up the big run off Hadley in the seventh, #nd, as it turned out, the game was over. The Nats made a bid to tie in the eighth, which Rice started with a dou- Ble, but Manush popped to Kerr and, after Cronin’s loft had moved Sam to ird Kerr threw out Shires. Lyons was strong in pinches for the Nats to get nywhere.

Associated Press Sports Writer. ECENT tades among the clubs of the American League seem to have been a series of wise | moves on the part of the vari-| ous managers involved. Every team that acquired new material in these deals is giving 'an appearance of new life, and the pennant race, already too close for the comfort of the leaders, bids fair to become closer. The St. Louis Browns, whose batting | erage has been down so far it was almost out of sight, certainly have benefited by the acquisition of Goose Goslin. The Goose, who was doing practically nothing for Washington, has cut loose with his bat, hfl.flng three home runs since he joined the Browns, two in the past two days. Yesterday's homer alded considerably in the Browns’ 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Sam Gray did the rest by holding Bos- ton to five hits. | ‘Washington's new acquisition didn't get much chance to hit yesterday. as the Senators were locked in a pitching duel with the Chicago White Sox, but | Art Shires and Heinie Manush already have started clouting. With Ted Lyons on the mound and Ben Tate providing capable catching at last, the BSox nosed" out a 2-to-1 triumph. Wouestling Tries Hard. George Wuestling, formerly of De- | troit, did his best to keep the New York | Yankees from losing to his former| mates after he replaced Lyn Lary, who | went out in the third inning with a | broken thumb, but his first and second | hits of the season were not enough to | beat the Tiger clouting. Detroit started | by scoring five runs in the first inning, and won the game by 11 to 6. The Philadelphia Athletics took ad- vantage of the lapses by two of their leading rivals and made their place at the head of the American League stand- ing their margin of leadership over New York and Washington to 2', games. George Earnshaw pitched a great game | to give the Indians their first shutout | of the year and their sixth straight de- | |feat. He allowed but five hits and struck out eight. | National Race Tightens. + Sixteenth Pield Artillery and 3d Cav- @lry, both of Fort Myer, will have it out at 4:30 o'clock. While the gap between first and sec- ond places in the junior circuit was All Clubs in Recent Trades | Appear to Have Been Helped and second in the National League, were drawing closer together. Brooklyn's Robins gave away a close encounter to the Cincinnatl Reds, 2 to 1, while the Cubs were slugging out a 7-to-3 victory over the Boston Braves to place them- selves only 15 games behind. ‘Two Robin errors in succession com- bined with two hits gave Larry Benton of Cincinnat! the decision_over Dazzy Vance in a tight game. Benton gave the league leaders only five hits. The Cubs again scored early as Cuyler and English repeated Thursday's home run hitting act, and Wally Berger’s two four- baggers only served to give him the Na- tional League lead with a total of 20. Pittsburgh kept the New York Giants from gaining ground by staging a sixth- inning uprising that netted six runs and an 8-to-4 victory. A homer by Adam Comorosky started this scoring spree. The St. Louls Cardinals batted and bickered their way to a 7-to-5 victory over Philadelphia. With a full com- plement of regular infielders on duty, the Cards played better ball than they have for some time, but Manager Gabby Street and Outfielder Ray Blades argued their way out of the park trying to pro- duce better results, Standings in Major Leagues American League YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS. | McCarthy, Praising Gameness Of Cubs, Visions Another Flag BY PAUL MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, June 21.—Every dark cloud has a silver lining, they say, and no one believes it more than Joe McCarthy, square-jawed chief of the Chicago Cubs. In fact, McCarthy believes the dark cloud that shrouded Wrigley Ffeld three weeks ago, when Pitcher Hal Carlson| | died and Rogers Hornsby fractured his good ankle, has changed right into sun- shine. Everything has broken Cubward since then and, today as the Cubs were charging toward first place only a game and a half from the leading Brookiyn Robins, Marse Joe made & satisfactory inventory and made a pre- diction. “We're not worrled much.” he ex- plained. “The boys are playing great ball, the pitchers are finding themselves, we have the fighting spirit that makes champions and I think we'll get started right now so no team can catch us. “They say the team that lands in first place on July 4 is the heir apparent to the championship. Well, I think we will be on top looking down when they start shooting firecrackers legally. We'll be right here until almost the Fourth and if we keep up the pace we have hit during the past three weeks we may have a comfortable edge to lean on during that next long road trip.” leost a rainbow by himself on the brighter cub horizon today was “Footsy” | Blair, who stepped into the Rajah's shoes and helped the Cubs forget him. Blair decorated the bench most of the 1929 season and while he did bat bet- | ter than .300 in the few hances he got, he was almost forgotten. Then Horns | by's accident and he was the only avail- | able infielder left, because Lester Bell was out with a sore arm that doesn't | seem to be healing at all. Blair drove | in six runs during his first game, play- ed sensationally afield and has been keeping up his surprising work. Hornsby, sore and limping, was head- | ed for a long rest on the bench any-| way, because he couldn't cover ground and his batting was spotty. reported to the Cub physician yesterday, however, that he had a lighter cast placed on his foot and said he expected to be back for active service at least | during the long, hard drive in August, | a period when his bat cracks the loudest. Hornsby | third base. _Since he changed posts with Clyde Beck he has been an im- proved player in every respect and at times sensational. Then the apparent return to form of Guy Bush, much underweight at the start of the season; the return to seriousness of Pat Malone after a scolding for getting in Police Court for & night club argument and the realization of the team that games won in June mean as much as games won in September have been big factors. “Win or lose, I'll always remember this team as one of spirit,”” Manager McCarthy said. “Instead of folding up after all our troubles they have come right back to win 15 out of 20 games since that time.” Pick-Ups From the Sandlots By Francis E. ‘Stan NE of the hottest races in years is featuring play in the Georgetown Church League. While attendance has been poor and fans have been attracted by <the other loops, the Sunday school Jeaguers have put on & pennant chase that is easily the closest of any of the week-day circuits. While Pullman was running away with the Terminal " League and Naval Hospital, D. C. Repair Shop and the Tile Setters were doing likewise in the Government, Departmental and In- dustrial, respectively, a heated three- cornered battle for the top position is being put on between Eldbrooke, Grace Episcopal and West Washington Bap- tist. And 1t looks as if it may be a tie be- tween two teams for the first-half championship. At the present Eld- brooke and West Washington Baptist, the latter by virtue of its 6-to-4 victory over Calvary Baptist yesterda: are leading the pack with seven wins and two losses, while Grace Episcopal is next with six wins and two defeats. But Grace's road will be easier than either of the other two, it seems, for on Monday and Tuesday they play Ver- mont Avenue Christian, which is now occupying fourth place in the stand- ings, with but one win in eight con- tests, while on Wednesday Eldbrooke and West Washington meet in a game that will spell finis for one of them. Calvary Baptist, last year’s champs, gave West Washington a big scare yes- terday, making the league leaders work all the way. Bozie Berger, Maryland athlete, who had been playing in the Terminal “Y" League, tried his hand at pitching and was charged with the defeat, although he permitted only two hits after reliev- ing Bowman with the score tied in the sixth inning. Carl Bean, southpaw mound ace of the West Washington club, turned in a six-hit performance, however. Fou the fan who likes raw meat and long-distance slugging yesterday's game between Express and Southern Railway was just the thing. The Expressmen, though out of the first-half race, fat- tened their batting averages at the ex- pense of Conover and Haig, Southern martyrs, who were unable to do a thing in the way of stopping the Express slug- gers. ‘The Expressmen made 16 hits, in- cluding a double, four triples and two home runs, with Lefty Jewett leading the attack with three three-baggers and a single. In the fifth frame Gill, first up for Express, socked the first ball pitched for a home run over the center- field fence, and Tommy “Snake” Clark, brother of Earl Clark, Boston Brave outfielder, followed with another four- base wallop which was one of the long- est hits made at the Union Station Park. Southern Railway, despite the lop- sided score, is undoubtedly the most- improved club in the circuit, and if it could only sign one or two pitchers, is likely to do a lot better than end up in last place. It is reported that Pete Ball will join the club, which may be the answer to Southern's prayer. Fowler, Express third baseman, did something no other infielder in the league has succeeded in doing. Fowler has devised an ingenius method of com- bating the sun, which is blinding to the shortstop and third-sacker in the Terminal Park. Fowler cut off a peak of an old base ball cap and sewed it onto the peak al- ready on his cap, making the entire brim almost a foot In length. It was al- most as effective as an umbrella. Brothers! Brothers!! And more brothers!!! Has it ever occurred to the average sandlot fan that there are at t 15 “brother acts” now being enacted in the unlimited class?

THE TRIPLE KING. record beyond the dream of any me: RECORD GALLERY AMAZED BY KAYD to Flatten Norwegian in First Round. BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports’ Writer, HICAGO, June 21.—The angular | figure of Otto von Porat, Nor- way's heavyweight contribu- tion, today was out of the championship scheme—propelled there by the left fist of Willlam Stribling of Georgla, U. S. A. Two minutes and 50 seconds after they crawled into the ring at the Chi- | cago Stadium last night, Von Porat, the paralyzer, was stretched paralyzed on the floor by the same left hand that caused Stribling to ask postponement | of the battle. The ex-schoolboy from Macon, Ga., fighting in a fashion that amazed a throng of around 21,000 persons, car- ried Von Porat off his feet from the start. None of the holding and maul- ing that have characterized previous Stribling engagements, were on display. Stribling came out using everything, and it was a thoroughly bewlldered Von | Porat who launched a right swing at | Stribling's jaw—and ran into a left| hook that dropped him like a rock. Head Hits Floor. Von Porat’s head struck the canvas with a thud, and what the blow to his chin _might have failed to accomplish was finished when his head struck the floor. Stribling was all over Otto from the start. His left chunked into Von Porat’s face with keen precision and a rousing right hand under the Nor- wegian's heart must have given him an idea of what was coming later. Stribling not only battered Von Porat out of the heavyweight picture, but leaped into the center of it. He might ave eliminated Von Porat by pound- ing out a decision in the well known | Stribling fashion. Instead he was the killer—a pleasant-faced, laughing kill- Everything he did was impressive. Record Crowd Sees It. Unofficlal figures on the box office angle indicated the fight had created a new indoor attendance record for box- ing. Around 21,000 spectators paid more than $80,000 to watch the stun- ning exhibition of what Stribling can do when he wishes. The end came so abruptly that the crowd stood speechless. Stribling ran out of his far corner, assisted Von Porat to his stool, then laughed a few words into a radio microphone. Then he ran to “Pa” Stribling, his father- manager, and embraced him. Stribling had caused postponement of the fight from Wednesday night to last night, pleading an injury to his left hand. An Illinois State Athletic Com- mission physician failed to find evi- dence of injury and Stribling was or- dered to go through with the bout. Any ailment in his left was swiftly trans- ferred to Von Porat’s chin, and William has something more to mention when | he goes after a shot at the world heavyweight championship.

The Fort Ben- ning combination was the defending champion. Only a few days ago the Yellows triumphed in the Argentine Army Cup play. Yesterday's game teemed with hard and courageous riding, breath-taking spills and all the drama that go to flu‘ke the game the spectacular sport s. Fort Benning had a one-goal handi- cap. This the Yellows overcame in the second chukker, at the end of which they were in the van, 3 to 2. They were never headed, though they had to bat- tle furiously right down to the final second. Lieut. Makinney of the Yellows again was the oriblamme of his team. He swept over the field, riding and shoot- ing like a demon. One of his shots was a 70-yard angle drive that brought a storm of applause. Makinney re- ceived a bad spill in the sixth chukker, ut after hurriedly wiping the dust and lood from his face leaped back on his Lieut. Her- bert Baker again played well for the Southerners, Gen.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW LONDON, Conn., June 21.— With a characteristic exhibi- tion of dazzling speed and un- beatable power, Yale has closed |another triumphant varsity rowing cam« | paign on the intercollegiate seas—the | ifth unbeaten season for the Blue inv | eight years of coaching by Edward O. | Leader, whose middle initial may just as well stand for oarsmanship or omni- potence, so far as Harvard and the crew world is concerned. Harvard, with a fine_show of ability, swept to victory in the two preliminary races of the annua' regatta on the Thames River yesietday for freshman and junior varsity crews, only to ab- sorb decisive defeat in the evening fram one of the finest of Ed Leader's great | collection of varsity boatloads. Yale's Time Fast. For the third straight year and for the ninth time in 10 years, Yale out- rowed its old rival in the classic 4-mile pull downstream from Bartlett's Cove to the Railroad Bridge. Yale led virtually all the way, win by five and a half lengths. I rowed the second fastest four miles in“ the history of the regatta, which dates back to 1852 and has witnessed 68 var- sity races within that period, marked by only a few interruptions of competi- tive rivalry. Yale, stroked by the pow- erful Woodruff Tappen of Pleasant- ville, N. Y., and captained by Gus Blagden of Greenwich, Conn., covered zhf”four miles in 20 minutes 925 sec- onds. This was less than eight seconds short of the course record, set by Har- vard's victorious 1916 crew. Had Brilliant Start, Leader came to New Haven in 1923 | and coached four successive undefeated varsity crews, from 1923 through 1926," before the streak was finally broken by Princeton on Lake Carnegie in 1927. Harvard also conquered the Blue that year. California outrowed the 1928" varsity in the Olympic trials and Co- lumbia beat the 1929 array on the Housatonic River at Derby. This year, Leader again turned out an_all-con. quering varsity, victor over Columbia, the 1929 Poughkeepsie winner, as well as Pennsylvania, Cornell, Princeton and Harvard. Yale at least can claim a share of national championship honors on the strength of this record, although it may well be disputed next Thursday by the winner of the nine-crew varsity classic at Poughkeepsie, especially if it is Washington, only other unbeaten crew in the country.

OYLAKE, England, June 21.— Leo Diegel smiled all the way through the last few holes of the British open yesterday and grinned cheerfully as he walked off the home green with a brawny po- liceman beside him thrusting the crowd aside. Cries of “Hard luck, Diegel!” greeted the American pro- fessional on all sides, but Leo cbn- tinued to smile. “There are too many bunkers on that course for me,” he said. “What riled me was being bunkered off that tee shot on the sixteenth, the best shot I hit all day. I'd liked to have won, but I hope to have better luck next time. 1 come nearer every year.
