Dur- | ing the next three days| : Manager Johnson'’s charges will tussle in Griffith Stadium with the club that within a few weeks has pounded its way from nowhere to a place among the outstanding contenders for the American League championship. ‘Those walloping New Yorkers are to visit for four engagements, opening their series with an Inde- pendence day double-header to- morrow. Not only will second place in the race be at stake in| the struggle, but it may mean the | mhaking or breaking of the Na- tionals so far as the flag chase is concerned. Having disposed of their Western rivals neatly the Nationals rested today. Just as well, perhaps. Storing up energy ought not be a poor thing to do before facing the Yanks. True, the Nationals have walloped Manager Shawkey's club five times in seven starts thus far, but before the clubs last met in New York late in May the Yankee steam roller was not in good running order. In their last set with the Yanks, Johnson's charges managed to take two of three es played. Since the New Yorkers not lost a series. While the Yanks will bring plenty of pover here the Spearhead of their attack s not apt to be seen in action. Babe Ruth, who has slammed home runs with amazing frequency this season and seems likely to better his marvelous record of 60 homers in a campaign set two years ago, suffered an injury in a game vesterday that may keep him idle & week or more. Striving to make a catch against the screen in front of the right field bleachers in Yankee Stadium the Babe had the nail torn off a finger. Too bad, but the Babe will not be missed by the Nationals, Something for the fair fans to think about. Although tomorrow will be Pri- day it will not be ladies’ day at Griffith Stadium. Ladies' day doesn't go on a holiday. But what a Friday. Two games ith the Yankees and all for the price of one. ALTER JOHNSON says he will fling Fred Marberry and Sam Jones at the Yankees tomorrow afternoon. This brace of hurlers should make the going rough for Shawkey's outfit. Marberry after a slow start geems in great trim at last. He has gone the route and wo nin his last three efforts. He yielded but 21 safeties in the three games. Jones, who scored #ix successive wins before suffering two defeats in a row, apparently is fully recovered from the illness that swept him from his feet and kept him in bed nearly two weeks at his home in| Woodsfield, Ohio. He has been recon- ditioning himself here for two weeks | and declares he is rsady to go. It was Jones who last pitched the Nnnnmnls“ to victory over the Yankees and he | always has been a tough one for them. their third brush of the season with their Western rivals completed yesterday, the Nationals battled to an excellent record. In grabbing second place by beating the Browns, 5 to 4, in the 12-inning first game and coming back for the double-header closing the series, the Johnson band made its record for the current home stand read a dozen vic- torles against three defeats. That s better than the A's did in their third brush with Western clubs and much better than the Yankees did. The A's won 14 of 18 games played, including those on Sunday jumps from Philadel- a to Cleveland and Detroit, while tha ‘ankees won 12 of 17 games.

As soon &s these new men began to click, the Giants started upward. From sixth place on Memorial day they zoomed upward until by June 10 they had reached & nice spot behind™ the Dodgers and Cubs, within shooting distance of first, and won nine in a row in so doing. Of course, it wasn't just the three Cincinnati musketeers that enabled the Giants to do all this, for Jack- Son came back after a slege of mumps, and Ott recovered from a charleyhorse. But Critz, Donohue and Allen helped plenty and Mc- Graw must be given lots of credit for getting them. Mac wants this eleventh pennant for the following reasons: (1) He hasn't had a winner since 1924. (2) He wants to put New York in the lead in the most champion- ships won of any club, the Cubs now being tied with the Giants with 12 apiece. Of these 12 McGraw has won 10, in 1904, 1905, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1917, 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924. James Mutrie won the other two in 1888 and 1889. (3) Since his old rival, Connie Mack, bas won another pennant after years of trying, Mac wants to ghow that he, too, can pilot one more leader, (4) McGraw always wants a winner, and New York will support one.

EW YORK, July 3.—While few of us now hanging around were there at the time, cities of old Qreece adopted the habit of tearing down & portion of eity walls to welcome home some Olympic victor. On a general average those Olympic victors received larger ovations a few thousand years ago than they do now. But Bobby Jones at least equaled the old record on his return from the golf conquest of Great, Britain. Atlanta and | New York hooked their forces together and the mayors of both stirring munici- palities figured largely in the all-day and all-night festivities. The Macom and the Mandalay greeted the triple champion first. From that point on through Mayor Jimmy Walk- er's official presentation up to the din- ner at night, representatives of two great cities let Bobby know with much noise and adulation that they thought pretty well of him in more ways than o ne, All in all it was a great day for the champion golfer, but & tougher one, in many Wwa! than his last march at Hoylake or St. Andrews. And after the 12 ‘hours of hip-hip and hurrah were all he had to do was catch a train for Minneapolis and plunge into the middle of another goifing war. 1t takes & considerable amount of hu- man fiber to go through the double | strain of winning championships and | absorbing the tributes of the populace in the wake of such achievements. There are times when the latter strain is the harder of the two for one as modest and retiring as Bobby Jones. ¥ spite of the few days' boat rest, 1 which helped & lot, it was easy enough to see that Bobby Jones wa a rather tired young man. There was a look in his eyes that indicated a deep; yearning to find the top of some dis-| tant mountain where he could forget | golf and the plaudits of the crowd. Which was the harder battle—the | match play champlonship at St. An- drew’s or the medal play test at Hoy- lake? As he put it— “They were two different types. There were many moments at St. Andrew’s that carried a heavier strain than Hoy- lake could show. But there are a few resting places in match play and none in medal play, where the pressure starts from thg first tee and keeps gathering force to the final putt. There were three matches at St. Andrew’s that were nightmares. They were the ones with Cyril Tolley, Jimmy Johnston and George Voigt. One shot at almost any time could have swung the balance the other way. “In matches of this type it is often a matter of who happens to get the breaks and there are times when the final result scems to be beyond your control. All you can do is work and suffer and wait for fate. “I can say now that the strain of the "Cronin Rubs ‘13’ Charm, | Singles and Wins Game Another National has joined the “13” Club.

The Athletics' five-game winning streak was broken when Detroit beat the champions, 4 to 3, behind the fine pitch~ ing of Earl Whitehill in the first game, but they returned to slam Wait Hoyt for a 7-to-2 triumph in the second. An injury to Babe Ruth and the slugging feats of Carl Reynolds shared the interest as the Yankees won the first game from Chicago, 5 to 1, as the Babe hit his thirty-first homer of the eason, then took & 15-to-4 drubbing in the second. Reynolds equaled two rec- ords by hitting three home runs in suc- cessive times at bat and by driving in eight runs. Ruth made a great attempt to catch the second homer and only | Cubs, 9 to 8, by putting on the better |rally in the ninth inning, while the Robins pulled out a 6-to-8 decision over | the St. Louls Cardinals on the strength | of Ray Phelps’ pitching. | The result put Brookiyn in first place | once more by the margin of less than | | half a percentage point, although an- | | other method of ieckoning shows the | Robins still & hali game behind. The Cubs have three more victories, but | have lost two more games, to bring | about this odd result. The Giants also | | benefited, going a game and a half | ahead of St. Louls. | The Boston Braves also improved | | their position & bit, turning back Pitts- burgh's threat to take fifth place with a 6-t0-4 triumph. Harry Seibold, Bos- | ton's reliable veteran, did the major share of the work, bearing down heavily | when men were on base. BAKER IN SERIOUS SHAPE FROM BOUT So Badly Battered by Gans He Collapses and Now Is in Hospital. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, July 3.—8ergt. 8ammy Baker, the veteran New York welter weight campaigner, was in a serious condition today from head injuries suf- fered in A lacing at the hands of Baby Joe Gans of California in their 12- round fight at Taylor Bowl last night. Baker collapsed in the last round and was taken to St. Alexis Hospital, where an X-ray was ordered today to learn whether he was suffering from a hem- orrhage of the braln or a fractured skull. Baker, reeling from Gans’ onslaught and at the limit of endurance from eight knockdowns, staggered backward and sank to the canvas after a minute and 35 seconds of the final round. As Referse Matt Brock tolled nine, the New Yorker gamely pulled himself to his feet to face another two-fisted flail- ing from his Negro rival. He sank to | the canvas once more and this time Referee Brock ruled knockout. ‘The stricken fighter was carried from the ring, moaning in delirfum and half unconscious, and was taken to the hos- pital in an ambulance after first refus- ing to leave his dressing room. Baker won only three rounds, the third, fourth and eighth, although he twice felled Gans. Nearly 4,000 spec- tators alternately cheered and booed the palr, who some time ago fought a viclous Square Garden. it a technical THE SPORTLIGHT AND RICE. amateur champlonship was much greater, .becayse that was the one I wanted most to win—the one that I wanted to win above everything else in olf. And on at least two occasions own the stretch with Johnston and Voigt I had to face putts of 12 and 10 feet to stay in and at the time I would rather have faced tigers or lions. “My hardest blow at Hoylake,” he continued, ‘“came at long eighth hole of the final round. When my sec- ond shot stopped some 20 or 25 yards from the green I felt fairly safe about the championship, knowing that I had a lead with only 10 holes to go. And then, before I knew what hit mp & 7 blew up in my face. I needed 5 strokes to get down from 25 yards and I felt for a moment as if some one had hit me with a club. ‘“The tough part of golf is that those things can happen before you know they are happening. They break your soul before you know what has taken place. One mistake leads to another when you are tired and jumpy.” RECALLED the fact that 7s had played a_prominent part in several of his champlonships. ‘There was the 7 he took at the .eighteenth hole at Scioto in the third round, needing | 4 strokes to get down from just off the green. There were the two 7s ho took at Winged Foot on the final round at the eighth and fifteenth holes. There was the 7 at Hoylake. Seven might seem to be an unlucky number for the Georgian, but after all he won all three championships where 7s fluttered out | of the bag like poisonous bats. Maybe they were lucky 7s after all. What about Interlachen? That, he admitted, s a tough one with Hagen, Diegel, Horton Smith, Mac Smith, Armour, Farrell, Sarazen and 150 others waiting to blockade the road. “And,” as he said, “no one knows what | will hapen in golf until it has hap- pened.” | ‘The edge has to wear away some time. It may last through this next week at Minneapolis, or it may come to a point as to whether he can run into a bad patch of play and have the concentration and determination and the zest left to weather the storm. “The field at Interlachen,” said Bobby, | “will be the hardest in the world to beat. Any one of 20 or more entered has the game to win and the chance to win. This includes the pick of the amateurs and the professionals from nearly 1,200 | starters, and 50 of these are good enough to break 70 on almost any course at any time.” American League YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.

NEW_YORK, July 3.—The legality | of the Boxing Commission’s edict doing |away with the disqualification of a | boxer for landing & lov' punch is ques- | tioned by Charles White, an attorney, |son of the famous referee of the same |name. White has appeared in many cases connected with boxing and has made a study of the boxing law of this State. “It is my opinion,” said White in discussing the ‘“no foul” edict, “that the law itself specifies that the bouts in this State shall be conducted under the rules and regulations adopted by the Army, Navy and Civilian d of Boxing Control. “These rules are practically the same as the Marquis of Queensberry code and provide for the disqualification of boxer who disables his opponent by a blow delivered below the belt. “The State Athletic Commission is not empowered to change the law itself and that 1s what is done when the rule on fouls is so changed. The Legislature, and not the commission, fmn the power to amend or alter the aw.” In looking up the law it is discov- ered that paragraph 20 of the act reads |as follows: “Weights, Classes and Rules—The weights and classes of boxers and the rules and regulations of boxing shall be the same as the weights and classes and rules and regulations ndopted by the Army, Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing_Control, Inc., and the Interna- tional Sporting Club of New York, Inc.” In view of the specific declaration of the law itself it is possible that a boxer could go into court and upset the com- mission's “no foul” rule, even though nnly contestant entering the ring first ?“t.h.b‘;el been obliged to sign a con- rac cluding a clause waiving the right to claim foul. The new rule, hastily framed, will be amended to clear up some doubtful points when the commission meets next week, Chalrman James A. Farley stated.

L when they are caught flat-footed by a quick throw by the pitcher or catcher. Hal Chase used to use it when he was caught so far that the orthodox “feet first” hook slide was useless, He would throw his body head-fore- most one way and give the catcher only his hand to touch. When the catcher attempted to tag this hand he would change hands and often outwit the catcher this way. HEAD-FIRST SLIDE IS | ). SOMETIMES USED | WHEN CAUGHT 3 = OFF FIRST And also you can't break any legs or ankles by the spikes catching in the dirt or plate when the head-first slide is used. This made this form of sliding quite popular with the vet- eran players who felt their legs growing brittle. However, I would not advise it ex- cept under two conditions: When you scramble back to first base or are caught so far at a base or the })luu as to make the hook slide use- less. Save this big league base ball se- ries. Another will appear shortly. Al Demaree has prepared a new illustrated leaflet on “Batting” which he will gladly send to any reader requesting it.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, July' 3.—Gerald Am- brose Griffiths, the aspiring { heavyweight hope from Sloux City, Iowa, has changed his ring m_?nlcker from “Flufly” back to Pighting for the position he once held as a heavyweight of championship caliber, Griffiths silenced his chiding critics at the OChicago Stadium last night “ by giving “Rubbery” Johnny Risko, the big cake baker from Cleve- land, a sound thrashing in 10 rounds. It was his third victory over the no- torious despoller of championship hopes and by far his most impressive. Casting aside his usual care, Griffiths carried the fight to Risko from start to finish, winning nine rounds decisive- ly. He outslugged and outboxed his rugged rival and cracked him almost at will with his shower of lefts, rights and hooks. Risko, veteran of many a tough bat- tle against even tougher fighters than “Tufly,” stood upright through it all, however, and never was listress. Risko's best round was the second, when he made Griffiths back pedal with loop- ing hooks to the head and body, Grif- fiths had some trouble evading his rush, but came back in the next round and stayed in front. From a financial standpoint, the match was far from a success. Less than 10,000 watched it and the receipts only totaled approximately $30,000. In _the preliminaries, Paul Swiderski, the Syracuse, N. Y., heavyweight, out- pointed Frankie Simms of Cleveland in 10 rounds and Tait Littman, Milwaukee lightweight protege of Ritchie Mitchell, won the decision in eight rounds over Ted Ross, Chicago slugger. o HERMAN PROVIDES PLAN FOR BROOKLYN SHAKE-UP ST. LOUIS, July 3.—The wholesale shake-up ol the batting order on the Brooklyn Rehins yesterday, after which they defeated the Cardinais and edged into first place, was a result of the sug- gestion of Babe Herman. Manager Robinson announced that Herman had prepared the new line-up and submitted it to him before the game. . CORBETT IS FAVOl:?lTE IN GO WITH THOMPSON SAN FRANCISCO, July 3 (#).—Al- though Young Jack Thompson is wels terweight champion of the world, Young Corbett, Fresno battler, has been made favorite in their 10-round non-title bout here tomorrow, Corbett already holds two victories over the Negro title holder. This, combined with Thompson’s mediocre showing In training, led fans to favor the Fresnan. Both boxers ended training yesterday. HOME RUN STANDING. By the Assoclated Press.

Yesterday Madison Square Garden had Sharkey's name on a contract, and had hopes of getting Schmeling's signature through Jacobs, when Buelow, the Ger- | man’s deposed manager, bobbed up with an eight-page document that was en- | tirely unsatisfactory to Jacobs, who now is in charge of Maxie's interests. Release Is Demanded. When Schmeling first offered to give the Boston sallor a return bout, he did 50 with the proviso that he be givén an out-and-out release from Buelow, to | whom he is under contract until October 13 of this year. Sharkey agreed to see that Buelow got his 26 per cent of the net gate receipts, but in his lengthy document Buelow retained the right to sue Schmeling for any other renumera tion he thought might be coming. And upon that clause hangs the fail- ure of the match to go through, as Jacobs said nothing doing. Schmeling must have a positive release. In the office at the garden, awaiting delivery, is a check for 33} per cent, the managerial cut of the June fight between Sharkey and Schmeling. Seven and one-third per cent of this amount is due Jacobs under an old agreement, while the remainder goes to Buelow. Buelow Goes to Law. Buelow already has taken legal steps to recover from Schmeling his share of the German's earnings since his fight with Paulino Uzcudun last July. Since that time Maxie has appeared in & | moving picture and made an exhibition tour of the United States and Germany. It seems that Buelow is willing to walve his right to his cut in all of Schmeling's ventures except in his June fight with Sharkey. Jacobs is willin that Buelow get his 26 per cent cut of the Beptember fight, if there is one, |and which Sharkey will pay, but he wants Buelow to forget about the check being held in trust by the Garden. {CHOCOLATE SKILLFUL IN STOPPING PETRONE NEW YORK, July 3 (C.P.A)-—Kid Chocolate of Ouba, making his first ap- pearance in the ring since he was in- Jured in an automobile accident six weeks ago, scored a technical knockout over Dominick Petrone of Harlem in the sixth round of a scheduled 10-round mu&t at Ebbets Ficld, Brooklyn, last ight. A gathering of perhaps 10,000 saw the ebony Cuban give lmmuu-rly ex- hibition of boxing and punching. If anything, he was faster than ever. Though Petrone fought back gamely as long as his strength lasted, he at no tme was a match for the keed, failing to win a round. Chocolate might have finished the Harlemite earlier if he had cared to take advantage of his opportunities. i { [ [ GALLAGHER MAY OBTAIN CONTEST WITH HEENEY Marty Gallagher, Washington heavy« weight boxer, may be mutem mt‘l:l’t Ton Heeney of New Zealand, accordis to word from Boston.
