PAGE D-—1 Judge Back On Job as Big Day Nears : Robins and Cubs in Bitter Battle for Lead WHY WE DUB SO MANY OF OUR GOLF SHOTS—HURRYIN FANS T0 HONOR J0F ATGAME SKTURDAY Griffith, Johnson Laud Him In Radio Talks After In- dians Are Swamped. BY JOHN B. KELLER. A OE JUDGE, veteran first- sacker of the Nationals, who is to have his big day Sat- urday, came to Washington almost as a gift from the Buffalo club. That’s what President Clark Griffith said in his WMAL broad- cast last night. Griffith was dickering for Charley Jamieson, pitcher and outfielder, at the time, but thought the price asked too high. He told the Bisons he would close the deal, though, if the young first baseman was tossed in. That was done and ‘Washington got one of the finest itial sack guardians ever,to come to the big leagues. Nearly 16 years ago that deal was made, and since Judge has given the Nationals a lot of great base ball. He has hit well and fielded wonderfully. His performances year after year have inspired the other members of the club to greater effort. A keen student of the game and an earnest worker, Judge has been the leader of the infield al- most since his_start as regular first baseman. Washington fandom does well to honor the man who has given such loyal service. The most substantial way the fans here can show their appreciation of a great ball player and a splendid fellow citizen would be by turning out in throngs for the battle Saturday be- tween the Nationals and the Tigers. he Detroit club has agreed that all te receipts in excess of $9,000 may g0 to Judge, so the more the turnstiles ' at Griffith Stadium click this week end ge bigger the appreciative chest for e player. A great chance to reward a great ball player. Do. your bit by taking in the game Saturday. ALTER JOHNSON, manager of the Nationals, also talked over the air from WMAL last night about his fine first baseman and credited Judge witH having made possible the one no- hit game pitched by the Big Train. ‘Walter putpover that game in Boston | on July 1, 1920. He had repulsed the Red Sox for eight innings, but Wash-‘ ington had made only one run, so the ston bunch was still in there fighting m victory in the ninth. Up to the plate strode Harry Hooper, always dan- gerous. And Hooper announced he was going up to swing “‘lfl swing hard. He did lncr met the ball solidly. Toward right field the ball headed, but the agile Judge lunged to_check the drive it looked a certain hit. Across to the bag ran,Jonnson to take the re toss from Joe, and the big game the pitcher had sought for years was his. It took a great first baseman to make that stop, but Johnson had such a first baseman supporting him. AVING swept tne series of four games with the Indians, the Na- tionals again are pressing the league-leading Athletics. This morn- ing they were but a game and & half back of Connie Mack’s world cham- ns. Only half a game ahead of the Yiankees, though, for while the Na- tionals were handing one licking to the Indians yesterday the New Yorkers anded two to the Browns. Now all ®hree of the bunched clubs have lost 24 games. The A's have won three more than the Nationals, but the Na- tionals still have those three to play and a game ahead may be a game won. HERE was a deal of fuzzy base ball in that 13-to-5 affair in Griffith Stadium yesterday and all of it was not put forth by the Indians. The Nationals at times gummed up their play in sandlottish manner. However, they stepped out in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie with their biggest scor- ing session of the season. Then they dented the plate 11 times, putting across 9 of the runs after two were ut. . After that the Indians were ammgh, despite the 3 markers they ‘contrived to chalk up in the eighth. EFTY BROWN and Mel Harder were opposing hurlers at the start. Brown went the route and allowed nine hits and four passes, three of the | hits and three of the passes in the last two innings. Harder left in the sixth after his brace of errors had let the Nationals put over a tying tally with Iwo out. He had been reached for ight safeties and three passes. Mil- £ Shoffner, a left-hander, ended the | sixth inning well, but he was bounced | out in the seventh and so was Pete | Jablonowski. Then Salvatore Gliatto took his bumps before the big seventh ended, but he stuck through the eighth inning. Tn &l the Nationals collected off the our Cleveland hurlers 16 hits and 10 passes. The Indians also kicked in | with seven errors and Harder con- | % ributed a wild pitch just to make it a big time all around. HAT only one of the first four runs made was of the earned variety - shows what kind of a game it was. An error and two hits accounted for a Washington score in the second inning. The Indians tied in the fifth with a clean marker, a triple and a sacrificial | bunt putting it across. At that had several Nationals been more alert the bunted pop might easily have been caught and the sacrifice turned into a| side-retiring double-play. An error, a hit and a sacrifice put the Indians ahead iIn the sixth, but the Nationals came right back to even the game with | run gleaned from a flelder’s choice | that meant the second out, an infleld | le and three errors. e “seventh saw the tie broken quickly, Myer singled and Rice. who | celebrated his return to the line-up after a two-day lay-off npursing a bruised knee by making two hits, tripled. After Manush rolled out with- out heiping Rice, the fun began. Cronin Walked and Shires’ bunt was good for a hit that scored Rice. ’ out Cronin at third, then Bluege's fourth hit of the game scored Judge, running for Shires, and chased Shoff- ner, Jablonowski walked the first two batters to face him and started walking the third. Gliatto completed the pass then yielded three hits and two more West_forced | PogGonT f 1 HURRIED MY APPROACH -11 Friendship BY FRANCIS E. STAN, RIENDLY rivalry may be all right sometimes, but it doesn't seem to work out so well for Southern Railway. At least not when Charlie Horne is the “friendly” rival Charlie is & St. Mary's Celtic, and the team that he was playing against yesterday was Southern Railway, alias the Celtics. But teammates or no team- mates, they were playing opposite him, and as a result of this temporary sepa- tion, Southern started off the second half of the Terminal League in the same way they started off the first. Tke Dreifuss of the Southern Railway club and Paul Bryan and Crane of Ter- minal hookedtup in a pitchers’ battle which found the two teams deadlocked in the ninth inning. Then, with Raines on second base and two out, Charlie Horne stepped to the plate and banged out his third hit of the game, a double, which scored Rainies with the winning run. Incidentally, this two-bagger was the only extra base hit of the game. And then, because Warren Freshour of the Terminals wouldn’t mind his own business, Southern was stopped cold in its half of the ninth and is again in their familiar position—the cellar, Freshour has a reputation of being one of the best first basemen on the sandlots, but, as is becoming the cus- tom now, he turned his talents to an- other field, namely, the pitching box. ‘With the score standing 5 to 4 and Southern making a last stand, Freshour ‘was sent into the bax and came through by making the first hitter ground out and then fanning Rapp and Zimmer- man, two potent sluggers, to end the game, HOSE Terminal rooters can't be beaten! . Doubtless the most amusing fea- ture of & game in the Terminal “Y” League is to hear some of the colored rooters express themselves. One, in particular, affords fans and players as we!l plenly of laughs with his “play-by-play” description of the ball game, and, what’s more, he is quite proficient 1n handing out advice, both practical and otherwise, In the fifth inning yesterday Jake | Brown of Terminal was at bat and swung hard at one of Ike Dreifuss’ of- ferings, the ball caroming off his bat and crashing into Catcher “Squirrely” Kidwell's mask. “All in your favor, Tkey, all in your favor,” barked Kidwell in the customary Shires' head knocking Art dizzy. After bunting in the seventh Shires turned his job over to Judge. It was the first time at the initial sack for Joe since June 9 when he sprung a charleyhorse in a game at Cleveland. FTER his Nationals had piled up their fine lead in the seventh, Manager Johnson withdrew several regulars and sent in some youngsters. Hayes, Harris and McLeod relieved Myer, Rice and Cronin. It was Mc- Leod’s first appearance in a champion- ship contest. 'OTHING to the Hale business now, says President Griffith. He en- deavored to get the third-sacker when the Browns asked walvers on Sammy, but evidently the walver re- quest was withdrawn. American League YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. New York, 516, St. Louis, é—4.

CHICAGO, June 26.—Kenesaw Moun- tain Landis may be faced with a re- bellion within the ranks, but he keeps right on waving his big stick. The latest decision of the base ball commissioner to declare Edwin Mooers, suspended second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, a free agent. Mooers was suspended when he re- fused to report to Buffalo of the In- ternational League on a player deal. He complained to Landis, exhibiting a signed contract, in which the Orioles agreed to make him a free agent if | they did not send him to a club of | higher classification. Despite much protesting by Baltimore, the commis- sioner held for Mooers. ‘The action of the Milwaukee club of the American Association in filing suit in Federal Court to halt Landis’ trans- fer order on Fred Bennett, a Mil- waukee outfielder, is pending.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer, UFFALO, June 26. — Slapsie Maxey Rosenbloom of New York stood forth today as the new champion of the light-heavy- weights, conqueror of the only man who ever consistently gave him trouble dur- ing his amazing fighting career in three divisions. Maxie has whipped the best of the , | middleweights, some heavyweights, and now he has accounted for the last of the 175-pound top-lighters who had h:g.dc ko‘ut against his discouraging ring a Has Only Title Bout. Last night Rosenbloom whipped Jim- my Slattery before a crowd of 13,500 in the International League ball park, and with the victory came the only championship he has ever fought for in 10 years of battling outstanding ring men. Five times before the team of Slat- tery and Rosenbloom furnished the fea- ture attraction along various by-paths of ringland, and in four of the engage- ments Jimmy, the pride of Buffalo’s first ward, gained victories. Maxie won only one. Of all the men he has beaten, including Leo Lomski, Ace Hudkins, Jimmy Braddock, Dave Shade, Larry Johnson and Pete Latzo, only Slattery was able to come back and 2% | defeat him consistent tly. But last night, before $55,000 worth %0 | of customers, Rosenbloom gained his ¢ | revenge by winning the title Slattery has held since last February when he defeated Lou Scozza here and gained general recognition as the successor to ‘Tommy Loughran, retired from the 175- pound ranks to joust with little success against the heavyweights. Decision Is Close. ‘The decision was close, gained by the award of two judges over Referee Patsy Haley’s ballot for Slattery. A majority of the critics gave Rosenbloom eight rounds, Slattery five, with two even. ‘There were no knockdowns, although Slattery was staggered momentarily in the second and Rosenbloom was a bit wabbly from rights to the chin in the ninth, Slattery’s best round. Both were marked about the face, Rosenbloom with a bruise on his left cheek and a cut in the bridge of his nose, while Jimmy'’s lips were swollen and cut and his eyebrows swollen. Maxie weighed 17014 to Slattery's 166%.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. EPARATED by one game in the standing, the Robins and the Cubs open in Chicago today a series of four games, which probably will decide which will reach July 4, the traditional turning point of the season, on D. Brooklyn has held first place for about & month with a crippled Cub team hanging right on to the next rung of the ladder. The Robins did a little sliding yesterday, as they lost their final game before invading Wrigley Field to the Pittsburgh Pirates. They can Jose again today and still remain lh‘e:'g. but only by a few percentage points, The Robins could not hit the offer- ings of Ray Kremer yesterday, getting but seven rather ineffective blows. Fl".sbul’?h touched Dudley and Clark for 11 blows and a 5 to 1 victory. The Cubs hit the Philadelphia pitching much more freely, but barely pulled out the game by a 13 to 12 score to sweep the three-game series and score their eighth victory in their last nine starts. Gabby Hartnett drove in the winning run in the ninth inning after his two home runs and a single had brought in five other runs. The Cincinnati Reds shoved the New York Giants deeper into third place, by winning the series final, 11 to 3, to break even in the four games. Starting against an ex-Red, Pete Donohue, they pounded out 18 hits, while Red Lucas held the Giants tc half that number, Ruth Swats a Couple. It was Babe Ruth day again in the American League as the home run king hits two wallops of his favorite kind to lead the New York Yankees to a double victory over the St. Louis Browns in their third straight double-header. Ruth hit his twenty-fifth and twenty- sixth home runs in the second game, heading & 20-hit attack that resulted in a 16-to-4 trilmph after the Yanks had edged out & 5-to-4 victory in the opener. The day’s results were all in favor of the Yankees, leaving them only a half game behind Washington and two be- hind the league-leading Philadelphia Athletics. The Senators held onto sec- ond place by beating the Cleveland In- dians for the fourth successive time, 13 to 5. Washington scored 11 runs in the seventh. ‘The Athletics got an even break with the Chicago White Sox, romping through the first game, 8 to 1, Chicago took tne second, 7 to 2. Jack Russell of the Boston Red Sox just one bad inning against De- troit, the eighth, but that was enough to give the Tigers the game, 4 to 3.
