PAGE D-1 Judge Day Game Apt to Be Keen Battle : Cornell Regains Leadership in Rowing HADLEY, SORRELL T0 BE BOX RIVALS Nationals’ First Sacker to Get Many Gifts—Tigers Beaten at Start. BY JOHN B. KELLER. UDGE day tomorrow at Grif- fith Stadium and a two-way chance for fans to have a great time. Not only t_)y their presence will they aid in making the day a fine one for the finest first baseman that ever donned a Washington uniform, but they also probably will wit- ness a stirring contest between Nationals and Tigers if the rival managers stick to their pitching choices for the week end clash. Walter Johnson has said he will send Irving Hadley to the hill against the Detroit club, while Bucky Harris expects to have Vic- tor Sorrell on the firing line. Should these fellows pitch up to recent performances the battle ought to be red hot. : Hadley has started against the Tigers enly once this season and then he took s beating, but the start was back in May when Bump wasn't in the pink. Iately he has been going through his games in splendid style and looks the pitcher he was when a top-notcher back iz 1$27. Sorrell has faced the Nationals twice this season. He was barely beaten here, but in Detroit he licked them handily. There is a po sibility Harris may switch to the vet- eran George Uhle, but Sorrell seems in line now for tomorrow's tussle. Manager Johnson says he intends to keep in action the same line-up that mauled the Tigers 12 to 4 yesterday in the opener of the three-game series. ‘Which means that Dave Harris, late of Chicago, will be in right field; Sam Rice in center and Joe Judge at first base, with the other positions filled by play- ers who have been in them some time. “It's the most powerful offensive line- up we have mustered this season,” the Washington pilot contends, “so why change it?” LENTY of ceremony is planned for Judge day. Bands and everything. Three musical organizations are to fill the air with sweet melody, Jim McNamara—who is the big whoo. pee man of Judge day—declares. The Elks' Boys Band will be at Griffith Stadium. So will the band of Victory Post of the American Legion and the Overseas Band of the Veterans of For- eign Wars. And the playing will start early, too. A.ly and Nick will put on their stuff, too. These coaches can put it on. They rarely do their comedy stunts here, but in other parks of the circuit they go over in.a big way. A burlesque of the recent Schmeling-Sharkey fiasco will be done by Schacht and Altrock. And | the referee? None other than Arthur ‘Whataman Shires, who knows some- thing of the ring game himself.

Everybody around Washington in the entertainment business seems to want to make it a great day for Judge. Among his great admirers is 8-year-old Shirley June Blake, who will do a speciaity dance. 'And Jimmy Lake, theatrical director as well as polished announcer of affairs pugilistic, has said he will have some performers on hand. At 3:15, the presentations to Judge will be made. The main one—that of the check representing the portion of the gate receipts at the game relin- quished to the veteran first baseman by lubs—will | the Washington and Detroit clubs- s required the plan 1s expected to be| be made by Judge Robert E.

Lots of other gifts also. ‘There'll be much to see at Griffith Stadium on Judge day. Get there early and take in the whole show. NOTHER big inning yesterday en- abled the Nationals to romp to their sixth win in & row. They hopped on Earl Whitehill right off the reel and licked him for the third time this season. Five hits, three passes and three errors got the left-hander off the slab before the second out of the round was made. Myer started the attack with a triple, then Rice, Manush and Cronin singled in succession. Harris and Judge walked, Bluege lofted a sac- rifice fiy and Funk made a poor throw after catching it. Four runs. Ruel walked, Marberry singled and Johnson fumbled the hit. Two more runs. A NICE PRETTY FOOT - ITS A shame BT/ R @ HE STUBS ns ToE A. A SPLIT SEASON APPEARS CERTAIN Louisvile, Well Ahead Race, Only Club Likely to Fight Plan. in By the Associated Press. HICAGO, June 27.—Probability of a split season, the second half to start July 7, has brought cheer to all American Associa- tion clubs except the Louisville Colonels, who are unwilling to surrender their first mortgage on a full season’s pen- nant. Indications today were that club own- ers of the circuit would vote sis and possibly seven, to one for the proposal when President Thomas J. Hickey pre- | sents it at the special meeting in Chi- cago July 1. As only a majority vote carried easily. Thus the teams which have been watching the Colonels make a one-team race out of the pennant the big flag in a post-season series play-off Louisville, seven games in front of its nearest rival, St. Paul, intends to fight the plan. secretary of the club and son of the owner, said he and his father were op- posed to it. Kansas City, coming back | after a bad start, also may cast a ballot against the plan. The 1929 champions were in fourth place today and playing probably the best ball they have ex- | hibited this season. | Sponsors of the split-season plan be- |lieve it will create greater interest by | starting the race all over again and result in higher gate recelpts.

Barrow, business manager of the New York Yankees, has apol- ogized for an assault on Bill Slocum, veteran base ball writer of the New York American. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the club, yesterday expressed “profound re- gret” over the incident and an- nounced the appointment of George Perry, his personal secretary, to han- die all matters in which the club makes contracts with the press. ‘Thie work previously had been han- dled by Barrow. Barrow’s attack on Slocum was the outgrowth of an article in which Slocum had _criticized the secrecy with which Barrow surrounded all news of trades and other general interest. Barrow's apology for the attack was made at a_meeting of the New York Chapter of the Base Ball Writ- ers of America.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. \HE New York Yankees have won | I 7 out of their last 10 games without improving their posi- tion, for Washington and Phila- delphia have each won 8 out of 10. The Athletics are a game and one-half ahead of the Senators, with th Yankees another half game back ‘The Yanks won yesterday, after & struggle with Cleveland. The count was 13 to 11, and 9 of Cleveland’s runs came in the last four innings, after the Yanks had piled up an 11-to-2 lead.

Every Fo'ate clouted the ball at least once in the second game to bring an 11-to-5 decision. The highly heralded struggle of the Titans between Brooklyn and Chicago turned into a demonstration in honor of Dazzy Vance, which put the Robins two full games in the lead with a 7-to-1 triumph. Brooklyn drove Charley Root from the mound with 5 runs in the second inning. RAILWAY MAIL DELIVERS.

Navy Yard went to bat in the seventh inning on the short end of an 8-to-5 score. Bobby Lyon, who had been hurl. ing strongly up to this time, was touch. ed for enough hits and runs to tie the score. Then came a light shower. Lyon and his mates turned upward glances toward the overcast skies and decided that if this frame could be held up long enough, the game would be call- ed and the final score would be 8 to 5. Then the fun began! Batters were walked, errors were made and runners were allowed to come and go as they pleased, but still the rain came down ever so lightly. The G. P. O. players looked agaln at the skies and then at Umpire Ping Purdy. But Purdy was just as immobile as were the heavens, and consequently the inning just had to be brought to an end. And the score was: Navy Yard, 11; G. P. O, 8. As the Government Printing Office walked to the bench, that bad weather man stopped the rain. But things con- tinued to look gloomy—for G. P. O. Bill Swygert, pitching for Navy Yard, bore down and allowed the would-be rain makers but two more tallies, while Navy Yard matched this score to keep the game on ice. “Game!” yelled Ping Purdy after the eighth inning. Hardly had the words left his mouth when the skies opened up with a tor- rent that ended everything—including all possibilities of getting home with- out being rained upon. G. P. O. was just “all wet” yesterday. EANWHILE Western Electric was giving the Tile Setters, champs of the first half of the Industrial League, the shock of ‘heir lives. ‘The game was nip and tuck all the way, and when the ninth inning rolled around both teams were locked in a |death grip. 8 to 8. At this point | Western Electric came through with two scores and the Tile Setters went into the tenth inning apparently in for |a trimming. Then something entirely uncalled for happened. With a Tile Setter on first base, Licarione grounded to short and Gale Hunter, Electric shortstop, allowed the ball to go through the wickets when a double play would have ended the game. Masters then mastered the situation with a double that scored both run- ners and ended the game in a tie. ERE'S a mark for the boys to shoot at. | Cy Yingling, former Central High School player, who has been en- |Joying a good year with Saks, has ac- LMOST any man would hate to have as much natural ability as Willle Stribling and not get any further with it than he has.

They carried posing Von Porat hadn’t dropped, or supposing he had hit Stribling good and hard, what then? That's the ques- tion, At Miami Beach, Stribling hit Shar- key hard enough to make his knees buckle. Then he kept away from him. He knew Sharkey could hit back and. before the affair was ended, Sharkey did. They say that the Georgian in Chi- cago looked like a new Stribling, that he was aggressive, vicious, that he looked i he has found the determination. But when it comes to throwing away chances, Stribling 1is worse than Sharkey. ‘What makes many believe in Schmel- ing is that, with less skill and experi- ence than either of those others, he has made the most of the equipment he has and of his opportunities. The German boy would, I belleve, like not only to be a title holder, but to be a champion. BALL club is a nine—in these days, of course, it comes close to being eight fielders and nine pitchers— but, while team play is still the big viduals are important. When Babe Herman doesn’t hit, the Brooklyn club doesn't appear so dangerous, especially with Wright only in_fair shape. Ruth is the barometer of the Yan- kees.

Dazzy Vance, Robins—Struck out six, kept Cubs’ nine hits scattered and be: them, 7-1. Al Simmons, Athletics—Hit single, double and triple as A's won over Browns easily. THE LISTENING POST BY WALTER TRUMBULI | son of the Giants, are highly necessary | to the welfare of their teams. Mickey Cochrane is another individual on | whom the Mackmen depend. HE Athletics are not getting the pitching they were last season, but they scarcely could expect it. Those | pitchers were going better last year collectively than any manager has a | right to expect. He only can hope for | pitching such’ as that. And the Athletics still are getting some good pitching. Not that they need it much, if they hit as they did yesterday. OBBY JONES will land on home soll July 2, and he will get plenty of welcome. The -greatest golfer who ever holed a 120-yard approach from a trap and won all the big titles there are to shoot for, is not only a master of his game, but a sportsman and grand guy. Everybody likes to see him win, because he is a good winner. ILMER ALLISON is not rated as a singles player with some of these other tennis stars, but when the Texan strikes his stride, he is a bit better than the next fellow. Allison is quite a tennis player.

Yesterday, through the rough watel and the mist that partially shrouded the Hudson, Cornell came back with a startling rush to capture the four-mil¢ varsity race, defeating eight of the fines| crews the East, Middle West and Fal West could produce. With a sophomore, Robert M. Wilson of Montclair, , stepping in as @ substitute to play a Frank Merriwell role as stroke, Cornell rowed to victory in one of the biggest upsets in the his tory of the regatta.

Three Lengths to Good. Cornell whipped Syracuse by a good three lengths as these two old rivali fougnt it out alone in the last mile Scarcely less surprising was the pers formance of Massachusetts Tech, whick set a sensational pace for nearly tw¢ miles, yielded doggedly to Cornell's ru: | and still had the stuff to finish a third. M. I. T. was five lengths behin Syracuse, but in front of all the pre. race favorites, as California, Columbia Washington, Pennsylvania and Wiscon: sin finished in that crder. Navy, as the climax to the worst aft. ernoon the sailors have ever experien in what is usually their own specli element, swamped when within 10¢ yards of the finish and went down. After a brief spurt at the outset the Sallors never were contenders. Thy river was whipped to unruliness by & stiff upstream wind and this, along wity the disturbance caused by a Coast Guar vessel, contributed to the shipping considerable water by Navy, Columbig and Washington. So far at least aj the first three or four places were cons cerned, no untoward circumstances had anything to do with the outcome. Youth Strokes Winners. ‘Tradition, the coaching of the new mentor of Cornell rowing—Jim Wray— and the inspiration of a brilliant p: setter in the 19-year-old Wilson contributed to Cornell’s astonishing tri umph. Wilson, who became an oars man by accident with little previous ex. perience, was the third man to strok| Cornell's varsity in three races season. A third-string substitute, he gaineq the pivotal seat in the big boat a fort night before the regatta because of thy illness of his commodore, Hod Shoe maker, Yet this youngster, stroking hjf first big race, rowed with steady confi. dence, rising to every emergency, as hy ced the boat load in which balds aded, 29-year-old P.
