C, Manush’s Clouting Missed by Griffmen : A’s and Dodgers FACE TOUGH TIME UNTIL HE RETURNS : Three Recent Games Would Have Been Saved by Single Safeties. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, July 14.—Wash- ington's ball club misses the telling punch of Heinie Manush. and until his underpinning is sound enough to permit his returning to the line-up, it will not find the going out this way very smooth. Since Heinie was forced out of action in Boston last Wednesday, the Na- tionals have lost three of five games played and in each of the games lost one good wallop would have downed the opposition. Manush’s vigorous batting had the W fast clip. Without it the club cer- tainly has not been impressive. How soon Manush will be back in the game none tell.

BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer, EW YORK, July 14.—Gallant Fox and Earl Sande—Ameri- ca’s greatest turf combination since the days of Man o' War and Clarence Kummer—today were within reach of the American all-time money-making record. Chalking up his sixth straight 3- year-old victory in the Classic at Ar- lington Park Saturday, Gallant Fox | added $64,750 to his earnings and boost- ed his total to $274,980, only $38,659 short of the fortune amassed by Zev in his meteoric career under the silks of Harry F. Sinclair. In achieving another triumph over the best that_the 3-year-old division could muster, the brilliant son of Sir Galla- had 3d, jumped from seventh to second place. This jaunt up the standings left such great money winners as Display, Walter J. Salmon’s iron horse; Extermi- paigner: Man o' War, the superhcrse; Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt's Sarazen and E. R. Bradley’s Blue Larkspur in the wake of the fast-traveling cham- pion. Two Rivals Still at Tt. Of the above group only Blue Lark- spur and Display still are in competi- tion and the latter is in temporary re- tirement, but expected to return to the track for the Saratoga season, Blue Larkspur, the 1929 3-year-old title holder, may furnish Gallant Fox some real competition in the battle for riches, however, before the sason is ovr. Gallant Fox's total winnings may mount again on Saturday if William Woodward elects to start him in_the $25,000 Arlington Cup race, in which Blue Larkspur also may be a starter. Woodward and Trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons_have expressed a desire to match the Eastern colt against older horses and before the Classic selected the Cup as the logical race for the Gal- lant Fox to make his debut out of his class. : Gallant Fox's next Eastern engage- ment will be at Saratoga in the Travers in August, and he also is scheduled to | g0 in the Lawrence Realization, run at Belmont Park in September. Victory in these two races alone would place him far above the money-winning record set by Zev. Great Race Likely. CHICAGO, July 14 (#.—A horse race that is a horse race is in prospect for the Arlington Park track Saturday, | with Gallant Fox just one of a classy field of runners. The Fox's neck victory over Gallant Knight in the Arlington Classti™ast Saturday led to the decision to hold the fleet 3-year-old over for the Arling- | ton Cup race this week end—a race for $25000 added. There is considerable likelihood that the race may gross $35,= 000 and be the richest weight-for-age race to be run in America in the last quarter of a century. Entered against Gallant Fox are Blue Larkspur, Sun Beau, Misstep, Petee Wrack, Victorian, The Nut, Stars and Bars, Galahad and Toro. 'Among his OH MAN! FARST G FOURTH > | OUGHTA ) OH WALT. 186 !

Cincinnati games, but before the afternoon was| half over, the only chance they took was that’ of not getting home before | bedtime. The score of the first game was 20 to 5. Nuf said. And the score of the second should and would have been “nuf said” nad | it not been for a piece of strategy on | the part of Manager Sauerweine which left a sour taste in the mouths of the faithful who remained until the orgy was ended. At the end of the eighth, the score was just 30 to 8, so Sauerweine started riding Umpire Mooney for not giving them the alleged “square deal.” A square deal with the score stand- ing 30 to 8 and more promising to come! How Score Was Shrunk. Anyhow, Ump Mooney delivered the ultimatum and Manager Sauerweine, refusing to remove himself from the Silver Spring Park, took his team off the field, loser by only 9 to 0, the for- feit score. When the umpire announced this score, even the most ardent Tiger rooter could hardly help but feel that Kensington won something, anyway. | Perhaps & moral victory. The game must have set some kind of a modern sandlot record, for scoring for a total of 50 runs in two games is not to be sneezed at. But Sauerweine, the merlin of Kensington, proved that there are ways and ways of getting around embarrassing things like that. As to the games themselves, Horace Duffy coasted along in tie opener for the Tigers, while Lefty Davidson and James share the second. Doc Hessler socked a tripie and a home run in the first inning of the nightcap, when the side batted around with plenty to spare. Later in the game he got another homer | and a triple. And the three out of four in the first made quite a fat- batting average. HIS St. Joseph-Columbia Heights | Business Men's game in the Grif- fith Stadium for the leadership of the District section of the Capital City League was certajnly tough on the Saints. After outplaying the Business Men for eight innings, the defending champs suddenly found their pitching not wiat it used to be and were forced to staud by and watch Columbia Heights rally to score three times in the ninth and win the game. The Columbia Heighters certajnly expect pitching. After giving Red Rhodes, their starting pitcher, the worst kind of support for seven innings, the Heights board of strategy yanked him in the eighth, when he forced St. Joe batsmen to tap three weak rollers to the infield, and each time the Business Men's infielders scooped up the ball and, not knowing what to do with it, threw it against the grandstand. At this point Goodman relieved Rhodes and received credit for the game, though pitching to only two Batters. IT is interesting to note, however, that this business of playing games at the Griffith Stadium is going over this season. Formerly when strong teams tried this plan they couldn't draw a fly, but the Northern-French game re- cently falled to show a loss despite an extremely threatening day, and yester- day's contest brought out a goodly crowd, which proves that sandlot ball is on the up-and-up.
