BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, July 8.—Bob Burke, | Bu who has done little pitch- ing this year for the Na- tionals, but not because he wanted to do little, may get a shot at the Red Sox in the double- header scheduled here tomorrow. If Sam Jones, who came back in |} great style against the Yankees on July 4, does not feel so strong, the oung left-hander will share with loyd Brown, fellow southpaw, the task of trying to repulse the Bos- ton bunch. Jones has complained of a slight | ooV o soreness in his salary wing and should the arm not feel right tomorrow, Man- ager Johnson will reserve the somber squire of Weodsfield for duty in the twin sketch at.Detroit on Saturday. Bob may prove a pretty good pick against the Red Sox, at that. Although he has started only four games this season the stringbean southpaw has a record of two wins against one loss. He held the White Sox to five hits and the ',“ Red Sox to six and beat both clubs in ‘Washington. His first start of the er Season was against the Red Sox, but |} h he was withdrawn after they had nicked him for a lead in four innings. The Nationals then went on to win in the twelfth inning. Burke's last start was in Chicago on June 12. bee; In this capacity he has | piiy: innings hurled seven and one-third and been scored against four times. Oddly, though, the scoring was done in the first one and one-third innings in which he went to the aid of faltering team- . last appearance on the hill 21 when he relieved Brown a scoreless X the Nationals swung into a gr'::fu 19 135 winning stride after the series of [ Thomas 12 51 mid-June trades, particularly that bringing Manush and Crowder from the Browns in exchange for Goslin, there increase the Nationals’ strength hoping in that way to undermine the pennant winners of 1929. According to word coming from Philadelphia every late deal boosting Washington was a thinly disguised dirty dig 3 \ 3 That St. Louis al especially got under the skin of Connie Mack’s club. ‘Why wasn't Manush enough to give for ? Why should Ball chuck in hington along with Manush might enable the Nationals' to wrest the championship from the Mack, forces. Perhaps the A’s were more bitter after the Nationals, aided greatly by Crowder’s pitching, grabbed the leading m in the race. That ga eh something to moan about. UBBED by the A’s and their fol- Z lowers as Phil Ball's “gift horse,” Crowder certainly has been the “horse” of the name sarcastically applied. general has been a ‘“horse’ for in three weeks as a National led in six games and turned tories for his new club. transfer Crowder has in 53 1-3 innings, hurling five complete games in which victory came hi¢ way and going into the ninth round of another in which an outfield error sent him to defeat. He has ylelded but 14 earned runs in the six games, an average yield of 2.52 per nine innings. High-grade pitching, that. Following his defeat by the Browns, Crowder has licked the White Sox, Indians, Tigers, Browns and Red Sox. ‘The Indians managed to comb him for & dozen hits, but so effective was he in his other games that he has ylelded an average of only seven hits per game. His control has been fine, and, excepting the first two innings of the tilt with the Indians, when he was found for six ©of the 12 hits and four of the five runs t, his gxwmng has been re- ly smooth. pitching his club to the top of the league yesterday, the General had an easy time. True, the Red Sox in taking their 8-to-1 trimming, nicked him for eight hits, half of them doubles, but four of these were clustered in their last two batting turns. Not a pass did Al grant and he struck out three. When the Red Sox finally got him for a run in the eighth inning with Oliver's two-bagger smashed against the wall back of left-center and Scarritt's double, a looper to short left that Manush barely missed after g in fast, the General had nothing to worry him. His club already had piled up a healthy advantage. T was off Ed Morris and Bull Durham the Nationals collected their scores. Ed got two out in the first inning. then lost the location of the plate, while Durham, who was rushed to the rescue, was well battered before giving way to Frank Busbey in the seventh. Thirteen hits rattled off Washington bats and all but one were made off Durham’s pitch- ing. All hands, excepting Myer and Crowder, hit safely, and the General's batting average was not hurt much, for he poled two sacrifices. Cronin, with three, led at hit-making, but two of his hits were somewhat fluky. West was the real spearhead of the attack. With a walk, a single and a double he shoved over four runs and managed to cross once himself. Morris started well, but after two were out he walked Manush, Cronin and Judge. the Nationals were on their way. Cronin’s single, Judge’s walk and sacri- fice hoists by West and Bluege added 2 run in the third inning, and in the fifth, with the bases filled, West singled to score two more. Rice's triple and Manush'’s long hoist to Oliver meant a tally in the sixth. Manush’s *drive was almost a homer, for Oliver had to crash into the low | center-field fence to spear the ball about a foot from the top. Successive doubles by Judge, West, Bluege and Spencer accounted for three suns in the seventh and brought Bushey %0 Durham’s relief. Bushey, who has been around the Red Sox for two sea- sons as & batting practure hurler, pr ceeded to stop the attack. One single and one pass were gleaned off him. Maybe the Nationals were too tired to do more. _ DECIDES TO JOIN GIANTS.

Luque, probably the most famous ball player of ail the Cubans, was born at Havana, March 3, 1891. He is not a blg man, and even now stands 5 feet 10 and weighs but little over 160 pounds. Luque has the dark, sun-tanned skin of his race, with a quiet, re- tiring disposition, but will fight on the drop of the hat. One day in Cincinnati John McGraw was “rid- ALy ing” him from the Giant bench. Luque stood it for several innings and then in the middle of an inning he walked out of the pitcher's box over to the bench and firmly and efciently socked the Giant leader in_the nose. He has control, a good fast ball and a deceptive fast curve. But even more ti this he has endur- ance. He has never had a sore arm and is always ready to pitch. If Brooklyn wins the pennant this year, just imagine the excitement in Havana when radio and score- board announce as pitcher for Brooklyn, Adolfo Luque, the base ball idol of the Republic of Cuba.

By Franci HE city week-day series! Not so far in the offing looms this goal of the week-day league teams and sandlot followers are what clubs will be among those present, when the curtain is rung up at the Union Station Park on August 18. While the Departmental and the In- dustrial Leagues appear to have their first, half winners firmly entrenched in their familiar positions and facing the city series, Pullman, Naval Hospital and the Georgetown Church League winner have a battle on their hands to _repeat their first half performances. Both the Terminal and the Govern- ment League teams have improved to an extent which makes hazardous any attempt to install a favorite for the second half, despite the fact that the Pulilmanites, in the “Y” League, and the Gobs, in the Government, made a molra or less runaway race of the first half. ‘The improved Southern Railway team is likely to causce plenty of trouble, as is Terminal. But Express, which fin- ished second in the opening section, generally is considered as being the biggest obstacle for Pullman to hurdle in its attempt to repeat. Naval Hospital may find it even harder than Pullman as all the other clubs, especially Interstate and Navy Yard, are stronger than at first. ‘This Georgetown Church League ap- pears to be anybody’s race. While West Washington and Grace tied for the championship, a third team, Calvary Baptist, may be counted as being, very much in the running. Last year's champs, Calvary, got off to a slow s but with Ray Davidson and Bozie Be: ger Xin its line-up it may essay a come- back. The only leagues that are inclined to end up the second half in much the same fashion as they did the first, are the Departmental and the Industrial. Barring only overwhelming surprises, D. C. Repair S8hop and the Tile Setters are looked upon as being capable of re- peating. But, base ball, like most everything Barnes, Sloux City, Towa (6). NEW ORLEANS.—Ervin Berlier, New Orleans, outpointed Phil McGraw, De- troit (10). Pick-Ups From the Sandlots - s E. Stan ERE'S one for the books! Pitcher Bob Magee received credit for strking out a batter + and also an assist for throw- ing the same batter out at first base. It happened yesterday when Terminal was defeating Southern, 8 to 1. Haig whiffed on a low curve, which gotaway from Catcher Dofflemeyer. The ball bounced off the backstop and landed in front of Magee, who retired the batter at first. Mike Gordon, veteran local sand- lotter and minor leaguer, is back'in the fold. Mike is holding down the shortstop berth for Terminal. With Gordon on one side and Willie Wolf on the other, Terminal looks to have a' bang-up keystone combination. It is rumored around the Sunday School League circles that this game between Grace and West Washington for the championship of the first half is to be played this afternoon. West Washington claimed the title when the Gracemen failed to put in appearance on July 3, but it looks as though the championship cannot be decided on a forfeit. Can this be true? Is this Moran, who is playing with the Howard A. French A. C, be the same Mike Moran, who something like 10 or more years ago starred for the old Dreadnaughts and other now obso- lete teams? J. T. McKnight has resigned as man- ager of the Washington Terminal club, and Warren Freshour, crack first base- man, been appointed as his suc- cessor, Freddy Noone is ing second base for D. C. Repair Shop. He, along with Tommy Clark, brother of Earl, is an- other reason why the Departmental League fans believe the Shopmen will Tepeat in the second half, . from New Orleans to the Cleveland In- dians within a week to see what he can do for the slumping Tribe. Montague was with Cleveland in 1928, but was slent to the E;!e‘llilcug last year. ral Manager Billy Evans of the Indians also announced the release of Sal_Gliatto, midget right-hand hurier, to New Orleans under option, and can- cellation of the option on the veteran Joe Shaute of the same club. PIERCE A. C. WILL STAY IN CAPITAL CITY LOOP HYATTSVILLE, Md, July 8—At a meeting of the Plerce Athletic Club base ball team, held last night at the home of Bob.Mingee, president of the club, it-was decided that the team will finish the remainder of the season as a member of the junior class of the Capi- tal City League. Jack Willlams was chosen manager of the nine and secretary of the club, to serve during the absence of Bill ‘Walton, who soon leaves to accept a position in the Middle West. Another meeting of the Pierce Club will be held Thursday night, to com- lete arrangements for the moonlight rip under the auspices of the club down the Potomac Friday night. The boat will leave the Seventh street wharf at 8:30 o'clock. Tickets may be had from Mingee, who lives on €edar street, hlerg, or from other members of the club.

BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Pre's Sports Writer. ALTER JOHNSON today had his sensational Washington Senators out in front in the hectic American League pen- nant scramble for the second time this season. The Washington club won while the Athletics were idle, to gain the lead. The badly crippled Indians dropped a few more points off their percentage column when they fell before the St. Louis Browns, 6 to 1. The victors got to Pete Jablonowski and Belvidere Bean . for 11 hits, which included circuit drives by Ralph Kress and Goose Goslin. A Mexican standoff was the result of the Detroit-Chicago double-header, the Tigers taking the first, 3 to 2, behind the good pitching of Earl Whitehill, but losing ‘the second, 9 to 5. Whitehill held the Sox to four hits, but the Sox managed to stay in the battle until the tenth inning because Dutch Henry did a good job of keeping the Tigers’ 12 hits scattered. In the second encoun- ter, ability to take advantage of Detroit's loose fielding gave the White Sox the decision. Babe Herman’s powerful bat gave the Brooklyn Robins & full-game advantage over the Cubs, as the National League champions lost while the pace setters :ttral trimming the Boston Braves, 0 1. A home run off Herman’s bat, which was preceded by a double converted into & run when Wright singled, gave the Robins the decision and Ray Moss the best of the pitching duel with Bob Smith. Moss let the Braves down with six hits, while the Robins touched Smith for seven, three of which were made by Herman. The Cubs looked just like another ball club as they dropped their third straight to the floundering Reds. The score was 4 to 2. Pat Malone pitched one-hit ball for five innings, but weak- ened in the sixth and seventh long enough to let the Reds hits three triples and a single and score four runs. A modern game of base ball was played at Philadelphia, where the Giants defeated the Phillies, 13 to 12, in a slugging orgy that brought five New York and three Philadelphia pitchers to the mound. Among the 38 hits col- lected by the two teams were Klein's twenty-fourth home run of the season and another hit of the same variety by Frank O'Doul. The Cardinals’ march up the stand- ings was halted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, who won, 9 to 5, behind the steady southpaw pitching of Larry French. The Cards had straight games. Sunny Jim " Bottomley and Gus Subr hit home runs. BIG SANDLOT GAME IS SLATED SUNDAY One of the most attractive contests of the current sandlot base ball cam- naign is that which will bring together Columbia Heights and St. Joseph's nines Sunday at Griffith Stadium at 3 o'clock in a District unlimited section game of the Capital City League. Just now the Saints are holding the loop lead by half a game over the Heights team. Saks & Co.'s fast-traveling base ball team will drill tomorrow evening on Monument diamond No. 4, at 5 o'clock, in preparation for games with Naval Hospital Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock on the South Ellipse and with St. Mar- tin's Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock on the East Ellipse. Gene Luckett, former member of the Bowie A. C. nine, has signed with the Clothiers. In the most interesting contests yes- terday in weekday leagues here, Naval Hospital vanquished Union_ Printers, to 2, in the Government League and Western Electric and Hibbs fought to a 9-9 tie in the Industrial League. Other league results yesterday follow: Departmental—G. P. O, 17; Aggles, 2 12, Georgetown Church—Grace Episco- pal, 13; First Baptist, 2.

EW YORK, July 8.—The North American Newspaper Alliance today published an explanation from Willlam T. Tilden as to why he had refused an invitation to join the American team for the inter- 2one finals and the challenge round of {Hie Davis Cup. Declaring that the invitation had come too late, Tilden said it would be unfair to ask for a release from his coniract with the alliance “at this late date.” Under United States Lawn Ten- nis Association rules, no player may write currently of tournament in which he is %nruclpmna. John N. Wheeler, general manager of the alliance, cabled the Philadelphian an offer to release him from his con- tract. Wheeler's cable said: “I feel your playing will give the United States an excellent chance of victory, and I am willing to waive our rights.” Bti Bill pointed out that he and Frank Hunter had announced their re- iirement from Davis Cup play at the 3. L. T. A’s annual meeting in Feb- T . After the meeting, Tilden said, he signed his newspaper contracts, in- volving coverage of the international matches. “At_that time," he went on, “the U. 8. L. T. A. announced that it would pin its faith on a young team for 1930. From then until July 4 I was not ap- proached to play nor requested to do so. “The U S. L. T. A. has the power, under the amateur rule, to grant me permission to fulfill these existing con- tracts, but declines, through its presi- dent, Mr. L. B. Dailey, to do so, making me ineligible unless I am released from my contracts. I consider it unfair to the papers tc request a release at this iate date” ‘ Big Bill wen.t on to say that the young American team had played capably so far and that “had I been able to join the team it would have meant dropping one man from the team, which would seem a hardship to the player dropped. It would tlll? mean lonn':‘. y‘e‘u of de- veJopment of our young team if we were neo't. succesful in l{f?.lnl thehlx." ‘Tilden added that he been in consultation with Fitz Eugene Dixon, non-plaj captain of the team, and had offered to ald in the training and practice of the team in Paris until the challenge round, granting that the United auflm beats Japan or Italy, the inalists. With Tilden apparently out of the running, “L:u task \n:t' ;lphnldlnzlm.\mr’l; can prestige apan or Italy the murme-fllh and it France in the chnllmfi round probably will be intrusted to llmer Allison of Fort Worth, Tex.; John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. and George Lott of Chi- cago. Other members of the squad are John Doeg of Santa Monica, Calif.. Berkeley Bell of Austin, Tex, and Gre; Mangin of Newark, N. J. Al'lolsrgn as a result of his brilliant duty in remaining Davis Cup ‘atches. In addition, the straight-set victory he and Van Ryn scored over in the British doubles as certain to win for onor of playing the Davis Cup doubles for the second straigh year, The remaining place, in singles, is expected to go to Lott, because the Chicagoan has had the advanta one year's experience in the challenge round against Prance. ‘Without Tilden on the team Amer- ica’s chances against the French do not look so ht. Allison beat Henrl Cochet at bledon, but whether he can conquer the little Frenchman again is open to question. Lott, at Wimbledon, bowed to Jean Borotra just as he did in the Davis Cup challenge round last year. In doubles, Van Ryn and Allison ng rently are a stronger combination than anything the French can put on Iymldered a virtual certainty for sin- g the court. THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC MATEUR golfers had done a fair share of damage in the open championship even before $ Bobby Jones blew around. Francls Ouimet won it in 1913. Jerry Travers bagged the big prize in 1915 and Chick Evans landed on top at Minikahda in 1916. That was three for the amateur flock before Bobby Jones started firing and ran.the list up to six. ‘The amateurs have won more open championships in the last 17 years than the home-bred professionals, as good as the latter are. And the ama- teur list this time is stronger than it ever was before with Bobby Jones, Von Eim, Cyril H nston, Don Moe, ns, Doc Willing and several other top-notch golfers who know how to score. Jones alone is a distinct threat. Jones and the others together make a formidable list. How Do They Look? OBBY JONES—If hBobby lu.; not. e stale thro too much re- :::t Dompcfl;mn. e will e‘l‘tl"urwh':: 2 or 3. No one can Sompetitive will strike down Andrews or at Hoylake and deep down in his heart he believes he hit a faster clip at Minneapolis than he showed abroad. He looked to be in good physical shape when he left New ork and started West and it is fairly certain that the strain at Interlachen won't be as heavy as it was at St. Andrews or at Hoylake where he felt that he had to scrape through. I don't belleve any merely good golf will stop him. It will take some all- star shooting, and even this may not be good enough if he hits the ball as he did at Augusta in the Southeastern open. He must be rated well ahead as the fleld’s outstanding favorite. The Others. EORGE VOIGT—A fine golfer that Interlachen’s well trapped fairways and closely guarded greens will suit.

He is one of the best g( the iron players and this is the main factor in good scoring if the putter is doing its part. EORGE VON ELM—Always a strong medal play star. He was only a stroke or two away at Olymgll Fields in 1928 and Winged Foot in 1829 —this in spite of some inferior putting. If his putter had been hot, he might have 'von both with something to spare. He has the game up to the greens. He needs more of a stroking method in his putting as opposed to the hit or tap. Quite good enough to win, if he can locate the run of the greens, ‘ARRISON JOHNSTON — A high- class golfer who knows Interlachen well and who is playing well. Johnston has threatened more than once, only to lose his pace down the stretch. But he is a good, hard fighter and a determined one with a good, all- around game. He has a useful type of tee shot with plenty of carry. YRIL TOLLEY—If Tolley could eliminate that one ragged round he might cause trouble. His two T1's at Hoylake showed what he can do. But he can't afford to go roam- ing into the 80's and have a chance. He has been playing well and his fine length gives him a good chance when he is around his best game. ILLING AND MOE—Doc Willing is one of the steadiest in the field, although he never hit his stride abroad. He usually is a good medal play entry where his head work, his de- termination and his good putting keep him consistent along the paths. Don Moe, another Seattle player, is one of the best of all the younger stars, amateur or pro. He is a fine young golfer and a good campaigner. He isn't quite seasoned enough to handle this field yet, but he is on his way up. HICK EVANS—Chick's 70 in the recent qualifying rounds showed that the Chicago veteran had re- ed some of his old form. Evans should make a much better showing than he has been able to do recently, although he has been around the battle fleld of golf well over 20 years. It was over a Minneapolis course that Chick won his first and only open title 14 years ago, where his 286 at Minikahda is still the low scoring mark on this side of the water in any open. Great Field on Hand. 'HE fleld now gathered at Inter- lachen is one of the greatest of all time, use in addition to the veterans the known stars there are so many fine young players as yet un- known to fame— younger &nyen who can hand you a 70 or 71 without batting an eye. Most of these are ex-caddies who have sound games and need only the experience. With these the big problem is hooking together four good rounds. Most of them will have a hard time ducking at least one bad patch that spells disaster. In this fleld one or two bad patches will leave little hope. Any golfer who goes above 75 or 76 in any round builds up a handieap that will be hard to overcome against the leaders, | (Copyright. 1930. by North American News- paper Alliance.)

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 8.—A new hurdle designed to reduce the danger of bad falls and injuries in timber-topping events was announced todsy by Harry Hillman, Dartmouth College track coach. The improvement is the result of a year's experimentation by Earl Thom- son, Naval Academy coach; Harold Barron, Georgia Tech mentor, and Hill- man, all star hurdlers in their day. The sign presented by this committee has been accepted by the Association of Track Coaches of America and also by the International Athletic Federation, which means that the hurdle undoubt- be used in future Olympic competition, As explained by Hillman, the differ- t | ence is that the hurdle now in use has the upright in the center of the base, 80 that in falling the top of the hur- rises more than two inches. The new design, which places the upright one-third the distance from the front of the base, will reduce this rise to less than one-half inch. “If the hurdler struck the present hurdle with his knee,” Hillman pointed out, “by the time his rear foot came over the height would be more than two inches higher and, naturally, the runner would either hit the hurdle very hard or trip and fall. “Many hurdlers have been injured on account of this and others have been eliminated in important races. Nichols, the Stanford urdler, undoubtedly would have made the last Olympic team, but he hit one of the hurdles and it threw while in the lead. Bas- kin, the Southern hurdler, met the same fate. Monte Wells of Dartmouth received a bad injury at ¢ New York A. C. games during the Winter previous to the Olympic try- outs and could not compete for six months ” BRITONS MUST FACE BEST U. S.
