BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILE that protesting dem- onstration by thousands of fars following Umpire | Blck/ézm bell’s decision that Frank (/Rourke had caught Joe Cronin’s foul hoist and there- by ended the game in Griffith Stadium yesterday was of no help to the Nationals, it is likely to tring about a change in two sec- tions of the base ball rules when the committee on the code gets together next Winter. Section 3 of rule 51 and section 2 of rule 56 are apt to have the included phrase “momentarily held” changed to “Armly held.” That word “mo- mentarily” has caused too much trouble in base ball. According to Section 3 of Rule 51 the batsman is out. “if he make a foul hit oher than a foul tip * * * and the ball be momentarily held ty a fielder before touching the ground.” And Sec- ton 2 of Rule 56 declares the base- yunner is out “if, having made a fair hit while batsman, such a fair hit ball be momentarily held by a fielder before touching the ground.” Umpire Campbell yesterday ruled O'Rourke momentarily held Cronin's foul before the St. Louis third baseman was run into by Shortstop Kress and had the ball knocked from his hands by the collision. Thousands of fans, though, took exception to Campbell's decision and milled about the stadium half an hour after the game ended crying for Campbell, blood, or what e mob did a lot of e angry a lot of hooting and ' booing on the tside, President Clark Griffith of the WaShing- ton club conferred with the umpires in their dressing room and is was generally agreed the wording of the rule shouid be changed to prevent such a demon- stration as occurred yesterday in the future. The “firmly held” phrase was Griffith's suggestion and Tommy Con- nolly, dean of Americsn League um- pires, felt that its adopdon would solve the problem. Ccnnolly is a memler of the rules committee and his recemmendations to that body carry more weight than those of other members. So it seems rather certain that “momentarily held” will be changed to “firmly held” before another season rolls around. and ere playing St. Louis then, out and Goose Goslin on first base a batter, whose name I recall, drove the ball toward . As usual Goslin went half ‘way down the path toward second and waited to see what would happen. Schulte, Brown center fielder, turned and tore after the ball. He put up his hands for an over-shoulder catch, but whether he actually held the ball could mot be told by Goslin or by those in the stands for that matter for the next Goslin, of course, went on to second ‘when he saw the ball {all to the ground. Schulte, who retrieved the sphere quick- ly, whipped it to the second baseman ‘who Goslin and claimed a double it Bill McGowan, who was on appealed base and Connolly up Barry to ask about the catch. * batter is out,” Barry asserted, so the double play went and the side was out.

RISKO VS, GRIFFITHS WEEK'S BEST BOUT Baker Boy Gets Another! Chance to “Spoil” a Title Aspirant. n 3 inc o Losing pitcher— Campbell. sel Time of game—2 hours and By the Associated Press. EW YORK, June 30.—Johnny Risko, veteran baker boy from Cleveland, gets another chance to “spoil” a heavyweight con- tender this week. Johnny meets Tuffy Griffiths, highly touted Sioux City, lowa, puncher, in the 10-round feature bout at the Chi- cago Stadium Wednesday night in the current week’s outstanding fistic at- traction. Risko may not be going anywhere in particular, but he takes an unholy glee in seeing that none of his rivals do either. Always on the short end, it seems, when he tackles one of the leaders, Risko, more often than not, has slapped, cuffed and roughed his way to victory or made his opponent look entirely unimpressive. A veteran as ters go, Risko has met only one really decisive defeat in recent years, losing on & ical knockout to Max Schmel here last gfir. A few weeks ago Risko slapped ulino Uzeudun all around the ring in a 10-round battle at Detroit. He should give Griffiths an argument all the way. San Francisco offers a 10-round non- titular bout between Y Jack ‘Thompson, ‘Negro holder of wel- terweight crown, and Young Corbett of Fresno, Calif., on Friday. ‘Young Stribling battles Bud Gorman at the Newark, N.

BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, June 30.—His career as a 3-year-old unmarred by defeat, Willlam Woodward's Gallant Fox today was $11,500 nearer his goal of surpassing the all- time American money-winning record of $313,639 held by the great Zev. Victory in the Dwyer Stakes at Aqueduct Saturday boosted the Fox's earnings, in less than two years, to $215230 and at the same time sent him into sixth place, only $34,000 short of the amount won by Man o' War in his 20 victorious jaunts over Amer- ican turf. With at least four more big stake races on the program for which Gal- lant Fox is eligible, the son of Sir Gallahad, 3d, may not only pass Zev's mark, but become the world greatest money winner before closing his 3-year- old career. Two French thoroughbreds, Ksar and Mon Talisman, won $335,- 340 and $333,160 respectively, to lead all other horses in total earnings. ‘The Classic with its purse of close to $70,000, next beckons the champion and with this race in view he will be shipped to Arlington Park, Chicago, next week. The rich Chicago event is scheduled for July 12 and will be followed a week later by the $25,000 Arlington Cup, a race in which Woodward and Trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons would like very much to demonstrate Gallant Fox's su- periority over the older handicap horses. As a 3-year-old he would have a decided pull in the weights. Back to Saratoga Springs in time for the fashionable meeting at the up- State New York Summer resort, the Fox will be started in the $30,000 Trav- ers, feature 3-year-old race of the Spa season. The Lawrence Realization, which will be worth close to $30,000, run early in September at Belmont Park, is expected to close the cham- plon’s 1930 campaign, as he has been in training since the 1st of April. A simple matter of addition shows that f the Woodward pride is victorious in these four engagements his total earn- ings will exceed $360,000. In this day of big purses Gallant Fox already has hung up one record in win- ning more money per race than any other American thoroughbred. His average of $30,714 in seven triumphs as a juvenile and 3-year-old even exceeds the mark of the sensaticnal High Strung, which accumulated $153,590 in five races as a 2-year-old. Zev won 23 races in compiling his money-winning races, while it took Exterminator 50 victories in which to earn $252,596. PRINTERS PLAY TOMORROW.

C. a 3-to-2 decision over the North- west Cardinals of Washington on Ed- ward Duncan Pield and broke up & itching duel between Fletcher of the osers and Larry Curtiss in the tenth inning. With the score 2-all, Hunt dropped Martin’s fly to left field and the Del Ray outfielder continued on to second, advancing to third on Hicks' infield out and scoring when Bogley erred on Nugent's roller. Martin was the best of Del Ray's hitters, with a double and triple in five times at bat, while Hunt and gnfl? singled twice to lead the Car- inals. The game marked the debut of Ham Nugent, young first base star of Alex- andria High School two seasons ago, in unlimited ranks. Nugent was signed by Coach Jeff Willlams several days ago and will finish out the campaign with Del Ray. ‘The Philadelphia Bobby Girls, one of the most colorful base ball teams in the country, will be presented by the St. Mary’s Celtics as their next Sabbath attraction at Baggetts Park.

Jeffries Warms Typos’ Bench_ 7|7'|YATTSV||1E“WIES But Waxes Red Hot on Mound BY FRANCIS E. STAN. HAT the Union Printers are not at the bottom of the list in the independent championship league series is due largely to the performance of a pitcher who has participated in only six innings of base ball this season. Charley Jeffries is the young man in question. Charley has been a chronic bench warmer, but it hasn't been his fault, Illness in the early part of the season kept him from practice sessions and many games. ‘When Norm Hutchinson went the route for the Typos in the first game of the double bill with the Silver Spring Giants, and lost, 9 to 8, and the bat- teries were announced for the night- cap without the name of Jeffries being mentioned, it looked as though he would have to wait until another time. But base ball is a funny game, for one never can tell just what is what and when. Tom Heany started the sec- ond game, and the Giants showed the fans, and the Printers as well, for that matter, that they were going to like Mr. Heany very much—too much, in fact, to make the afternoon enjoyable for the Typos. ‘The Grubbmen hopped right on Heany's offerings, and when the fifth inning rolled around were leading by six runs. At this point Manager Ed Lowery decided it just wasn't Heany's day and sent in Jeffries. And Charley proved then and there that he is going to be a very valuable man to the Typos. From the fifth inning on the Giants were stopped cold, although they did score a single run in the sixth when Jeff was pitching, but this came as a result of a couple of Typographical er- rors more than anything else. While Jeffries, who pitches with a motion much on the same order as that of Myles Thomas of the Griff's, was the Giants, the Typos came to e and inspired by this sudden turn of events, hopped on the slants of “Dan- gerous Dan” Wheeler and pushed across eight runs in the fifth and sixth frames to score an 8-to-7 victory. [ good enough to beat any of 'em. He's still a youngster, but because of illness, we haven't been able to use him much, but he showed us today that he will help a lot before the season is over.” Charley is in only his second year of unlimited ball and if he continues to display the brand of pitching he did yesterday, he undoubtedly will take his place among the ranking sandlot hurl- ers, IT Spring, for it was largely through the efforts of Harry Milburn and Bert McGann, pint-size catcher, both Maryland University diamonders, that the Gilants managed to stay in the race for the District championship. _Mil- burn twirled for the Glants in the opener and after a shaky start, grew stronger as the game progressed to win. McGann pulled & “Prank Merriwell” in the ninth inning of the opener when he was sent in to hit for Shrider. The bases were loaded, two were out and the score was tied at 7 all. McGann_then beat out an infleld single, scoring Razor Stevens with the winning run. ‘When this championship league series was organized, it was the general opin- fon that the six teams entered were the strongest and most evenly matched in the city and the near vicinity. This suppogition has been borne out thus far. Six of the eight games played have been decided by one-run margins. All in all it looks like a bang-up struggle all the way. NE for the books cropped up in the fifth inning of the first game. With Stevens and Brown of the Giants on third and second bases, re- spectively, Murray flied to center field and Mal Simons, while running to get under the ball, tripped and fell. ‘While on his back Simons caught the ball and Stevens, holding his base, scored after the catch. But Brown, who left second as the ball was hit and thinking that Simons would be unable to reach it, was doubled up on Mal's throw to Dalglish. Umpire Ping Purdy ruled it a double play, but maintained that the run counted. The Typos protested this de- cision on the ground that it was a double play and the side was retired wlkhdn%- s':orem el ensued, but as things such as this invariably end, the umpire, like the customer, is always right.

Berwyn led, 3 to 0, until the sixth. In that inning Hyattsville scored two runs, added another in the eighth to tie the count and then went ahead in the first half of the tenth, ving across a pair of runs. Berwyn ralll gamely in its half of this inning, but was halted after getting one marker, Stalwarts of the 1930 University of Maryland nine did well for both teams. Julie Radice, for Hyattsville, drove in three runs and scored another. He got two three-baggers and single. Bob Gaylor scored Berwyn's run in the tenth after hitting a double. Both Tom Mudd and Lefty McIn- tyre, pitching for Hyattsville and Ber- wyn, respectively, showed strongly, the former allowing seven hits and the lat- ter nline. Mudd fanned 12 and McIn- tyre 8.

LEXANDRIA, Va, June 30.— Johnny Garrison, once famous Jockey and originator of the “Garrison finish,” probably never came from behind more dra- matically than did the St. Mary's Cel- tics to win both halves of their double- header with the Howard A.

Just as Johnny booted his horses to victory in the home-stretch drive, so did the Celtics come from behind with two heart-tearing ninth-inning rallies ;fier their followers had abandoned all ope. The twin triumphs advanced the Alexandrians to second place in the independent champlonship series and tore the Frenchmen out of a deadlock with the Northerns for the :;ITred’ lead, dropping them down to A three-run rally in the last frame of the first contest gave the Celtics an 8- to-7 verdict while a four-run uprising in the final inning of the battle, three of which came after two were out, brought the locals the nightcap, 9 to 8. Leon Riley and Bussy Brenner were the heroes in the Celtics' hour of need. Riley, injected into the opening game in the eighth inning, came through with & pair of screaming triples which drove in three runs, including the tying and winning tallies in the ninth, while he scored once himself when Brenner pro- duced a single in the eighth.
