BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, July 12.—During the four days of tussling here the Nationals antici- pate plenty of trouble with the Tigers. Although the Detroit club is a second-division outfit and scarcely comparable with the top-notch Washington outfit in the long run, right now it is bat- tling desperately to reach the first division and is putting up a much stronger game than formerly. Re- cently Manager Bucky Harris’ itchers have performed much etter than they did in the three- game series in Washington, angd they have been getting good sup- port. The Tigers are no set-up these days. The goal the Tigers have wet for themselves is a position better than that held by the Indians at the finish of the race and as they are right close to the Indians now theygmay be ex pected to put up a keen fight aga any opponent. Trouncing the Tribe soundly yesterday with many members of the Washington club looking on, the Tigers pulled up to within four games of Cleveland. As they are going at present they will take a deal of beating. Since facing the Nationals in Wash- ington last month the Tigers have won 8 of 15 games played. Really they have braced better than that, for after losing 6 straight the Tigers came back to take 8 of their last dozen engagements—a fast pace for a second-division club. ‘With a flock of double-headers at hand it looks as though Bob Burke and Myles Thomas may be pressed into service as starters during the Cleveland series opening next Wed nesday. Manager Johnson apove all wants Marberry and Hadley to toil in regular order and desires to give Jones four days of rest between games. As he had planned to use Crowder and Marberry today, this pair likely will hurl in the twin bill with the Indians next Wed- nesday. Hadley's next turn, according to schedule, would be against the Tigers Monday and the Indians Friday and Jones' turn would fall on Tuesday, the final day of the series here. Either Brown or Liska will fill in here Sunday and either could be employed again Thursday in Cleveland,.but Burke or Thomas would have to be called in for duty in the double-header in Cleve- land a week from today. Once these double-headers in the West are out of the way, Johnson will have few pitching worries until he runs Into successive twin bills early in Au- gust. EINIE MANUSH is getting along nicely, thank you, and hopes to be at the ball park tomorrow although he may not don a uniform before Monglay. This morning the Nationals' hitting and outfielding star, whose left leg gave way while he was running out a safety in Boston Wednesday, declared the limb felt much better and that his surgeon had said he could return to the game within & day or two. “The leg still pains me to some ex- tent,” said Heinie, “but it hurts nothing like it did when I got home here Thursday. Under the doctor’s orders I have given it every attention possible and am certain I'li be ready for work not later than Monday. Wish I could get back there today. “We're going somewhere, believe me, and I want.to help all I can.” According to the doctor attending Manush, the swelling near the groin that put the left leg out of commission was due to an infection resulting from a slight abrasion of the shin which had been given scant attention.

AT T R-R-RAND AN R-RI0US FEELIN BY FRANCIS E. STAN, ANY and varied are the theories advanced by our local sand-lot wizards as to the policies of this Lefty McIntyre, recently affiliated with the French A. C., Pull- man, Northerns, Express, Celtics, Ber- wyn and one or two other sand-lot or- ganizations. At the present writing he sports a Terminal uniform. Now there are few who will not agree that McIntyre is a good pitcher. In fact, it is declared, not without reason, that he is good enough to beat almost any club hereabout. But he just can’t seem to beat Pullman. A grim Pullman team, which hereto- fore had coasted nonchalantly, didn’t like the idea of McIntyre, who pit¢hed the Pullmanites into the first- half championship, playing with Wash- ington Terminal, which now looms as their most dangerous threat. With an atmosphere extremely tense, Lefty threw everything in his extensive repertoire plateward except his glove, but it might just as well have been an insect-class pitcher heaving 'em up te the Pullmanites. They saw red, and the ball saw the outfield rather frequently, and as a result Pullman is still seated on top of the Terminal League, having hung up a 9-to-1 victory. After the game, those members of the “know-it-all” fraternity were wiling to lay even money that Mclntyre's next appearance in the Terminal League would be with a team other than Ter- minal, Express or Pullman. If that is the case, we must look for him in the uniform of Southern Railway, which is the only other club in the loop. T vaguely remember having a bit of flesh rubbed off my left shin when sliding to base in a game at Wash- ington,” said Manush, “but it seemed & trivial hurt. A ball player gets a ecratch or a bruise almost daily during | the season and overlooks most of them. ‘Take it from me, I'll have Mike Martin treat every little injury that comes my way hereafter.” LL this talk by the minors who have bucked the draft of forming a third major league is pure bluff by them, President Griffith believes. ‘They haven't a leg to stand on in their argument that the majors intend to ostracize them unfairly, according to the Washington prexy, and they haven't & chance to go through with a war upon the American and National Leagues. “As soon as we stop feeding the elass AA circuits’ players we want de- veloped and we stop paying them out- Fageous prices for material that rarely pans out as advertised those balking minors will make the loucest squawk one ever heard,” Griffith asserts. “Why, the majors have bren more than fair dealing with them. ~After we once losed down the elped for aid and the modified draft ‘was adopted for their benefit. Now they want no draft at all and expect us to maintain amicable relations with them. They must meet the majors half way if they expect as- gsflnce. ‘Third league? That's funny. he AA circuits would dry up and blow 8way without the majors' help.” RESULTS IN MINORS INTERNATION. SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION, Memphis, 7; New Orleans, 5. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.

Babe Clapper got off a really fine pitching performance yesterday, limiting Terminal to four hits, two of which were scratchy.

ES McDONALD'S Interstaters, who have earped the reputation of being very similar to the “girl with | the unruly curl,” found the curl on the | right side’ yesterday, for they were very, very good. Going into the eighth inning with only a 6-to-5 lead, the McDonaldmen rapped Bill Swygert of Navy Yard for seven runs before the side was retired. ‘Though “Ops” Lusby was the winning pitcher, it tock some fine twirling by Manager McDonald, who relieved him in the sixth, to quell the Navy Yard bats.

Pullman Team Has Indian Sign On Redoubtable Lefty M’Intyre Standings in Major Leagues by taking First Baptist into camp, 6 to 4. This new Washington Terminal key- stone combination of Willie Wolf and Mike Gordon, is functioning in great style. The Gordon to Wolf to Freshour team turned in two fast double plays yesterday to keep the Pullman score down. Undoubtedly one of the best out- fields in the sandlots today is this one possessed by Pullman and the French A. C., which is the same. Dutch Smithson, Lefty Tripp and Marcus Chaconas form the trio.

O'Doul won the championship in 1929 with .398. He always was a good batter. He could hit well when he tried to pitch and when he found that pitching was less in his line and being a batting champion was better, his batting increased in proportion to the many more chances that he had to_hit the ball. If his punch had been added to the New York team in 1929, there are some who believe the Giants would have won the championship. It was O'Doul’s batting strength in the outfield, combined with that of Chick Klein, which made it seem as if the Phillies would be a contending force in the National League race this ear. O'Doul did not start as well this season as he wished and for a time was worried about it. He is going all right now. “Some of them called me an ac- cidental champion last year,” he said. “I just wish to prove in 1930 that I am not.” DETROIT MAY SELECT SACRAMENTO AS CAMP SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 12 (#).— The_ Detroit Tigers probably will train in Sacramento in the Spring of 1931, | Jack Zoellers, Bengal scout, announced here today after a conference with Lewls Moreing, owner of Sacramento club of the Pacific Coast League. —— GOBS BOOKED DOUBLE.

CHICAGO, July 12—With 13 play- ers, headed by Bevo Lebourveau, bat- ting .300 or better, Toledo was setting a blistering hitting pace in the twelfth week of the American Association championship campaign. Lebourveau topped the individual race for the second consecutive week with a mark of .387. and the Mud Hens col- lectively were rambling along at a .322 clip. Right back of Lebourveau was an- other Toledo player, Catcher Butch Henline, who was batting for .384. Other leaders following Lebourveau and Henline were: Connolly, Indianap- olls, .377; Kuhel. Kansas City, .365; Simmons, Louisville, .363; Mostil, To- ledo, .362; Barnhart, Indianapolis, .358; High, Minneapolis, .358; Purdy, Colum- bus, .357; G. Davis, St. Paul, .354. ‘Two players, Nick Cullop of Minne- apolis and Jenkins of Milwaukee, were in possession of two individual leader- ships each, Cullop had 26 home runs to put him far in front of the pack and had scored 71 runs. Jenkins’ total base collection was 186 and he had batted in 70 runs. Herman Layne of Louisville had 27 stolen bases, while George Kuhel, Kansas City first base- man, had banged out 12 triples to lead that department; Warstler of Indianap- { olis continued to lead in two-base hil with 26, and Simmons of Louisville led with 127 base hits. ‘Ten points back of Toledo in team batting was Louisville, which hiked its average 7 points to jump“from fourth to second place during the week. St. Paul was third with .308, Milwaukee and Kansas City had .305, Minneapolis, .301; Indianapolis, .300, while Colum- bus was the only team under .300, with .295. St. Paul humped its team ficlding average one point to retain the lead- ership at .966, while Louisville main- tained its .964 pace to stay in second place. The Saints added 3 double plays during the week to bring their total to 90 for the season. with Toledo lndh Milwaukee close behind with 88 each. Ben Tincup, the veteran Louisville Indian, saved a couple more ball games for the league leaders and gained credit for 1 victory to give him 9 straight for the season. Wilcey Moore of St. Paul was the actual leader with 17 victories and 4 defeats. Bud Jonnard of Indianapolis held on to the lead in strikeouts, adding 8 during the week to make his total 70. WONDER BOYS SCORE SIXTH STRAIGHT WIN Pirst place in the French Insect League is now in possession of the Won- der Boys, who won their sixth straight game yesterday, downing the Samosets; 5 to 4, in a hard-fought battle. The Langdons, who were tied with the Won- ders, were swamped by the Jack Hayes nine, which advanced to a tie for second place as & result of its 13-to-3 victory. In the closest game of the day the Georgetown Insects cked out a 3-to-2 win over the Joe Cronins. The Bur- roughs and the Holy Name clubs were also winners, both by l-run margins, the former defeating the Eagles, 7 to 6, and the Iatter besting the Corinthians, 8 to 7.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. HE somewhat incomplete intrasectional play of the major league clubs, which came to a close with yester- day's beginning of a new East- West movement, brought few surprising results in its general emphasis of the fact that a good ball club is successful no matter where the games are played. The unexpected downfail of the Chi- cago Cubs and the rise of the Detroit Tigers were the only results which were unforescen. The Cubs lost a whole four- game series at Cincinnati and wound up near the bottom of the National League list, with two victories and five | defeats. ‘The Tigers, smashing out a final victory yesterday, took four of five from the Cleveland Indizns after gain- ing & 3-2 edge over Chicago for a total of 7 victories in 10 games. Detroit showed a lot of power in yes- terday's game, slamming out 18 hits for an 1i-to-1 triumph over the Indians. Waite Hoyt allowed only seven hits, while the Tigers made eight, and six of their runs off Clint Brown in the first two innings. ‘This victory put the ‘Tigers ahead of the champion Philadel- phia Athletics, who won six and lost three in the intrasectional series, and second only to the Washington Sena- tors, who won seven out of eight from Boston and New York. The Yankees went through a serfous slump, winning but two out of eight games. ‘The Chicago White Sox closed their nip-and-tuck series with the St. Louis Browns in the other America game, gaining a 5-to-3 decisio: sixth place again by a half-go gin. Pat Caraway had only 3 inning, the Browns scoring all their runs in the third, and gave the Sox an even break in 10 intrasectional games. The suddenly triumphant Cincinnati Reds opened their tour of the Eastern division of tme National League yester- day as Pittsburgh and St. Louis ended the fraternal strife among the Western clubs. The Reds, hitting effectively be- hind. the pitching of Red Lucas, de- feated the Phillies, 5 to 3. Lucas had the better of a duel with Earl Collard, giving but eight hits, and contributed the finishing touch to the victory in the form of a home run in the ninth inning. ‘The Pirates slammed three Cardinal pitchers for 16 hits to win the series final, 6 to 2, and divide the six-game | set, but despite the result, Pittsburgh was below the .500 mark in the intra- sectional play and the Cards were at the top. St. Louis won six games and lost three, equaling the record of the New York Giants against the Phillies and Brooklyn. The Robins came in second, with five victories and three de- feats and, due to Chicago's losses, took a firm hold on first place, 'LINDBERGH TOSSERS | AFTER 13TH IN A ROW MOUNT RAINIER, Md., July 12.— Lindbergh Club ball players will go after their thirteenth straight win when they play host to the Ethos Athletic Club nine of Washington tomorrow aft- ernoon on the Lindy diamond here. Johnny Owen, ace of the Lindy mound corps, who also is a good hitter, will take the firing line. Stanley Shinn, steller third baseman, is still leading the Lindys at bat with an average of .640, but is being given a brisk battle for honors by Don Edwards, shortstop, who is clubbing for .621. Ed- wards also has been fielding in fine style. Fred Watson, clever catcher, and Green, second baseman, are others who are hitting well. The team's batting average is 471, NGLERS in quest of large and small mouth bass will find all streams perfectly clear today with the exception of the | Monocacy River. This river is muddy And has been sirice the start of the bass season. For the last several years the anglers in fresh water streams have been hampered by muddy water. Since the opening of the bass season on July 1 this year anglers have had clear water for their piscatorial outings. As a matter of fact, reports received today say the water in the Shenandoah River is too clear for good fishing. A report from J. M. Phillips at Riverton, Va., says the Shenandoah is low and too clear, but that some small- mouth bass are being caught, the largest weighing four pounds. Anglers at Riverton are requested to report all catches, to J. M. Phillips at the White Star Bathing Beach at that place, A report from Goose Creek says that one angler made a good catch in the mouth of the creek this week, landing a string of pan rock, about 15 catfish and one bass. The catfish caught in the upper Potomac are the Mississippl, or Government, catfish. They are & cross between a catfish and & trout, having speckled bodles much like a trout and put up a good fight; inci- !dentally they are excellent table fis Around Washington several catches of pan rock and perch were reported. some sizable white perch off Hains | Point and another angler had a remark- able catch,“landing 57 pan rock and perch at the same place or nearby. 1| From Solomons Isiand and across the i bay on the Eastern Shore around Sharps Island come the most encouraging re- ports for anglers. A friend of Rod and Stream, Carroll Klotzback, fishing at Solomons Island last Sunday, writes: “We caught an outgoing tide off Cedar Point bell buoy and the fish came so fast it ceased to be sport. In half an hour we took 8 large trout and 28 hardheads. And to top it all off, just before we left my younger brother hooked a shark about 22 inches long. As we passed Cove Point we sighted & school of large skates feeding on ale- wives. Some of theés» were not the usual type of skate encountered in the but the devilfish y nily 50 common in Florida waters an in the Bahamas. One, we estimated, | o be at least 10 feet from tip to tip.” Our friend who made the trip down the Potomac and around to Solomons in his boat over the Fourth states that “fishing in the Potomac, regardless of what you may hear, has been very poor.” He reports few fish taken and darn little fishing being done, but that the sea nettles are everywhere and that swimming is a mess, for one cannot swim anywhere without being blistered | by mettles. Capt. Dan P. Ball of Neavitt writes: “Fishing in the Choptank River Is e | pecially good now. Several parties have | T. | made record catches, and W. J.

HE old saw that a chain is no stronger thah its weakest link has its parallel w base ball | where a team is no more for- midable than its reserves. Food for thought along this line is | provided Washington fans as the Na- | tionals launch their second swing around the Western end of the circuit | minus the services of Heinie Manush, | whose prolific bat has proved such an | important factor in the high estate attained by the club. Just how long Manush will be on the | shelf remains to be seen, but those familiar with the ailments diamond | athletes are heir to are fearful it will not be of as short duration as is cheer- fully predicted. It will be recalled that when Sam Jones met with a mishap at the outset | of the Nationals’ first invasion of the frontier early in June it was believed he | would be out of action for “several | days.” A month, almost to a day, elapsed before he was able to resume his_chucking chores, The injuries in these cases are not | the same, Jones having had some sort | of a leg kink, while Manush is suf- fering with a strained muscle in his | groin. But, like Somber Sam, Hilarious | Heinie is a veteran, and optimistic esti- mates anent the date of his return may | | prove misleading. | AKEN out of the first game of the | double-header in Boston last ‘Wednesday, when his running was hampered by pain that developed in his leg, it was feared he might be suf- fering from an infection from spike wounds received during the New York series preceding. | Shipped to Detroit, an examining | | physician was inclined to minimize | | Manush’s injuries, and was of the opin- fon he could get back in the line-up during the set with the Tigers, which | got under way with a double-header today, in which event the Senators will | head of the procession. Otherwise, how | successful they prove in cavorting on | foreign fields depends on the ability of Dave Harris and George Loepp to fill | his shoes, | It happens Manush is one of the | strongest links in the Senatorial chain, | Both of his understudies have proved of value to the club in replacement roles, but neither combines the attack- ing and defensive ability of the former | Brown and Tiger, and if Heinle is out for any length of time or should suffer a setback from too early a strain on his weakened underpinning, the answer to the class of the Senators must be | furnished by Harris and Loepp. SSUMING ‘Manush will be ready and fit at an early date, the Griff- men will be a far more formidable outfit than during their first two inter- sectional skirmishes, when they were able to grab only 13 of 25 contests. The | talent added via the trade route—not | the least of which is Crowder—en- abled the Senators to gather in 12 of | 15 tilts in their most recel* clashes | with the Westerners on the home lot. | This feat accounted in large measure | for their ousting the Athletics from the | leadership, and if they can maintain such a gait on the 19-game Western invasion now under way, there is little question they will come back to the Capital at the end of this month still heading the procession, OHNSON'S men are looking forward to the third stop of their current tour—at St. Louis—with more inter- est than any of the others, in that it will afford them the opportunity to erase the 7-to-6 game advantage possessed by the Browns, who thus far this season have run true to their usual form in proving tough nuts for them. At the half-way mark in the sched- ule every outfit in the circuit, except that bossed by Bill Killefer, had come off second best in interclub battles with the Capital Cityans.” As might be ex- pected, the last-place Red Sox have proved the easiest hurdle for the Na- tionals, who have dropped only 2 of 14 engagements with them; but they have battered the Yankee to a 8-to-2 tune, and rung up 7 to 3 against the Tigers. | Opposed_to the Indians, the Grifftmen | hold a 5-to-3 edge, and possess mar- | gins of 7 to 4 and 7 to 6 against the | White Sox and Mackmen, respectively. . L. Maddox and S. A. and Carl E. Blouse of York, Pa. fishing in the mouth of the Choptank, inside of &harps Island, last tweck end landed 408 croakers and trout. Capt. Ball reports that fishing is steadily improving over on the Eastern Shore, and that trout and blues are arriving in greater numbers. Capt. W. J. Haddaway of Tilghmans, who landed the big channel bass, sent in a report of the appearance of blue- | fish in the vicinity of Sharps Island. | The blues wera caught trolling ne:nri Sharps Island light house. The “blues,” they are commonly called, are much sought after by fishermen and certainly put up a game fight. And here’s & telegram from our old | friend, A. H. G. Mears, at Wacha- preague, Va. Mears evidently does not like to hear too much about fresh- water fishing. He says: “Landed to dale 187 channel bass. One party in one week landed 22 channel bass weighing from 35 to 54 pounds. Chanrel bass now striking in great style. One party of three had eight strikes and landed two, and another party had five strikes and landed three. One man landed 50 kingfish today. Trout, croakers and sea bass being caught In limited numbers.” Capt. George M. Bowen of Solomons Island, Who keeps us posted on what's doing in the fishing world at his place, was most enthusiastic in his Teport over the telephone and at the same time was honest and frank. He said there was a northeaster blowing across the bay yesterday, but he did not ex- pect it to last and that conditions would be_right tomorrow. He reports that Capt. Preston Wood- burn took out & party from Washington last_Sunday and it caught 156 hard- heads, trout and big Norfolk spot. The total weight of this catch was 185 pounds. On_ last Tuesday his party also landed 148 trout, hardheads and spots. Capt. Rodney Lnnlzlvg(.’ fishing out in the bay, got into a schbol of drum and landed six, ranging in_weight from 40/ to 80 pounds. These fish finally broke all his tackle. Capt. Bernice P.

ARLINGTON PARK, Chicago, July 12.—America’s richest race purse —the $70,000 added Arlington classic—today furnished an apparently easy short cut to the champion 3-year-old, Gallani Fox, in his drive for a record as the greatest money-winning horse of all time. Victory in today's mile-and-a-quarter race, worth approximately $70.800 to the winner, would bring the winnings of the sensational son of Sir Galahad III-Marguerite to around the $300,000 mark and within striking distance of the earnings record of the greaf Zev. And victory today, even with some of the country's best 3-year-olds opposing the Fox, seemed asgpred. There were a few who thought Gal- | lant Knight, second to the Fox in the Kentucky Derby, might head off the champion in his'try for a sixth major 1930 stake. Ned O, show horse in the Churchill Downs feature, received some ccasideras tion, as did the_three fillies, Snowflake, Alcibiades and Dustemall, but the gen. eral feeling was that Gallant Fox would have to break a leg to lose. Overnight odds were 2 to 5, but werq expected to reach as low as 20 cents ta a dollar. ‘Top weight of 126 pounds was as- signed to Gallant Fox, with the rest of the field of 11 carrying from 116 to 123 pounds.

Now that Singer is a headliner he thinks he myst make a brilliant show- ing every time he puts on the gloves. The feeling that he must show up his sparring partners probably has had more to do with his rather drab work here than'anything else. When Al goes in, the thought is in his mind that he is the boy who has been chosen to try to lift the crown from the head of the master boxer, Mandell, and that he must' exhibit s world of class, so that those who see him will be sure that he is good enough to beat the champion. g . weights, jockeys and A H G 3- k! & 6 3 | WOMAN EQUALS SCORE OF HUSBAND ON RANGE BISLEY CAMP, England, July 12.— Equality between the sexes was illus- trated on the Bisley rifie ranges yes- terday, when Mrs. J.
