When Engel starts his ivory hunt he may be accompanied by President & Griffith. . “I had intended to make this swing around the West with the Nationals,” their prexy stated this morning, “but having received reports of a number of promising prospects ayailable in the Ri minors has all but made me decide to | b look them over. I had Engel join me here because he already has lines on likely material and I was eager to know what he had uncovered. He has- asked me to see in action some of the players on which he has reported favorably and 1 probably will go with him to see at first-hand what they can do. “I am particularly anxious to pick up a clever young catcher and some young infielders. Engel says he has several under observation. If they fill the bill and are procurable they will be bought for Washington. He also is planning to rebuild the Washington farm at Chattanooga with young blood, t00. And the more good talent we can glll‘k up for the lookouts the more the ationals will be helped. “Of course, Washington has first :hpfien on any Chattanooga player and e Southern Association club offers a great opportunity for the schooling of talent for the Nationals.

Chattanooga,” Griffith declared. S ATIONALS and Indians each picked a game of yesterday’s double-head- er here in which to launch a heavy offensive and as a result they shared victory. The Nationals took the first game, 10 to 4, by hammering the ball to all parts. of the lot. The Indians, rather punchless in this set-to, came to life in the second to wallop in big-time fashion and won handily, 13 to 6. There was no Washington hitting to ak of in the nightcap until the Tribe had tucked away the tilt. In breaking even the Nationals lost half a game to the league-leading Ath- letics, who trlumphed over the White Sox. To make it more unpleasant, the Nationals' total of defeats for the first time in weeks became greater than the Athletics’ total. They now have lost one game more than the world cham- pions. That's something to be picked up. L CROWDER and the left-handed ‘Walter Miller began dueling in the first encounter. Crowder went the route, although not so cleverly, while Miller fell by the wayside in the fifth inning. Then the Nationals punished Pete Jablonowski and Young Clint| Brown. Crowder was nicked for nine hits and was in trouble frequently, for he was wild throughout. He yielded six passes. While only one error was charged against the Nationals, Crowder was not 80 well supported. Poor fielding by Sheriff Harris helped the Indians to pull up to even terms with the Nation- als early in the fray and some more weak work in the pasture by George ll;oepp added to the home side's count ter. | ‘The Nationals collected 16 hits off the | Cleveland pitching assortment, Harris! offset his wabbly fielding by getting hits the-first three times he siepped to the plate, for he drove over a run and scored one. Cronin and Spencer got three hits each, Spencer sending over three runs while Loepp, who was large- ly responsible for some Indian scoring, made two hits, sent two mates over the counting block and tallied twice. Miller was found for eight of the hits. As the Nationals were in front when he depgrted and he left on the runway two who crossed after Jablo- nowski assumed the slab, ‘he left- hander was the loser. Pete could not get his bearings in the fifth and was reached for another run. But he kept the Nationals away from the plate thereafter, although he gave up five safeties. Brown had little with which to fool the Nationals in the ninth and kicked in with a wild throw to give them three more markers.

Now, as a regular, he is using his head,” comes close to telling the whole story about the gi- ant Texan, who chalked up his sixth successive victory in blanking the Tigers Tuesday. But Marberry can use his noodle for something besides fooling a batsman while he is toeing the slab. He hasn't at- tained the status of one of the steadiest “route” flingers in the business, after having reigned as king of rescuers for several years, without figuring out all the whys and wherefores. “When I was a relief pitcher I could not have been a regu- lar and have retained by effec- tiveness,” reasons Fred. “Now that I'm a regular I could not go back to relief pitching and do mgebest work,” his explana- tion being that as a rescuer he had to expend every ounce of his energy in one or two in- nings, whereas for nine-inning tours of duty he has to spread his strength thinner and rely on curves and change of pace to favor his arm. And as to why he prefers his present assignment to that he formerly starred at, Marberry gives further evidence of rea- soning powers. “Relief pitching is a young man'’s job,” he avers. “I'm 31 now—getting along. The time would come when I had lost my effectiveness as a relief man and then it would be too late to adapt my pitch- ing to regular work. “And besldes, the strain of keeping warmed up, day after day, in the bull pen, never knowing when you will be called upon to throw things into high gear, sometimes working sev- eral days in a row, is ‘goat-get- ting.’ The life is too irregular. fo into. Often you are pitch- ng some other fellow's game into the records. “Take my own record dur- ing the five years I was strictly on relief work. I won-a total of 53 and lost 45. Yet last year, my first as a regular, I won 19 in_a single season.” If more flingers had Mar- berry's logical mental proc- esses, managers woyld not be 80 Jmme to sprout gray hairs and develop wrinkles. And with 10 wins to his credit, offset by only 4 réverses, thus far this season, Capital fans are well content that Fred has ceased to be the grea‘est of all emer- gency moundsmen. TH! recent party thrown by ‘Washington fans for Joe Judge, was considerably more of a success than most of them realize, judged by some of the comment it has given rise to. Referring to the $8,000 or so the veteran first sacker received as the proceeds of a major league ‘“benefit” game, one scribe observes: “That_is virtually a prece- dent. Usually when a ball glayer has a ‘day’ the club icks in with $100 and the fans do the rest. At best, the bene- fit seldom has amounted to more than an automobile.” HE unconditional release of First Baseman Kelly by Manager Howley of the Cin- cinnati Reds brings to mind the fact this Plnyer ‘was a prom- inent figure in one of the most dramatic world series games ever recorded, the seventh and last of the 1924 series, in which the Griffmen won the world title from the Glants.

THOMPSON | the party of the first part, through his action in twice passing the dangerous Ross Young in a pinch to get at Kelly, McGraw’s clean-up hit- ter, and fanning him both times. The passing of “Long George,” so rumor has it, will be followed by that of Bob Meusel. The former Yankee, acquired along with Harry Heil- man, was expected to give the Reds just the batting punch they needed to.climb in the Na- tional League, but whereas the ex-Tiger. is making good in fine style, Meusel has disap- golmed both in fielding and itting, and has been beaten out of his job by the fleet- footed and younger Evar Swan- son. ITH Marty McManus of the Tigers having displaced Sam Rice as the league’s most proficient base pilferer, the Na- tionals now have no leader to boast of in any department of play, but they possess in their veteran fly hawk a candidate for the batting championship, who seems capable of giving away age in generous gobs and still make a race of it. With the season more than half over, Samyouell is but a few points from the top, and seems destined to finish with the highest average he has com- piled in 15 seasons of big league play. ICKEY COCHRANE, who devotes some of his many talents to scrivening when not back of the bat for .the A’s, opines in his copyrighted col- umn that the Nationals are be- ginning to find the road to a championship is rough and rocky and that they may find their present trip will put them out of the race, laying stress on the fact Washington has a flock of double-headers, while the Macks face only single games. One fact he might well bear in mind, however, is that the Griffs have nine tilts still to play with his outfit, and the Johnsonites hold an edge in the interclub battles thus far.

T DODGERS AND CUBS| OVIDE A TWIN BIL |Giants and Cards Victims of Hitting Sprees by Low- Ranking Clubs. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. HE National League’s latest crucial battle is a stand-off, with, perhaps, a slight tinge of moral victory for ‘he Brooklyn Robins. They gov an |even break as they opened a series with the Chicago Cubs with a double-header. The Robins re- mained in first place by a three- game margin, and left the Cubs| too far behind to overtake them even by winning all the remaining games of the series. Pat Malone pitched a five-hit game and the Cubs won it, 6 to 4, but Wilbert Robinson countered with ' old Adolfo Luque in the second contest and the Robins backed him up with some heavy i caj 10,000 more fans turned away. Del Bissonette knocked himself out sliding into the plate in the first game. The fans thought Gabby Hartnett was the cause of the damage and started tossing pop bottles. Luque and his rival, Charley Root, nearly became embreiled over a “dusting off” incident and two coaches and Manager Mc- Carthy of the Cubs were chased by the umpires for various reasons. If the Cubs win all three games that are left, they still will be in second | place, and then must tackle the New York Giants while the Robins are en- tertaining slightly easier opposition in the St. Louls Cardinals. Neither the Giants nor the Cards | resembled_serious opponents yesterda: They both were victims of hittin; sprees by low-ranking clubs. The Giants lost an 8-1 decision and the series to the Cincinnat! Reds as Red Lucas gave a few less hits than his mates made. Phil Collins kept the Cards under control while the Phillies were pound- ing out a 10-to-5 victory. The_second division leaders, Boston and Pittsburgh, divided a doubie- header. The Braves won the first con- test, 4 to 2, with a ninth inning rally behind Tom Zachary's five-hit pitch- ing, but went down, 9 to 5, in the sec- ond although they ‘made 13 blows, in- cluding Wally Berger's twenty-fifth home run. A’s Gain Half a Game. The American League produced two tight pitching battles and three one- sided slugging bees without important changes in the standing. The Phila- delphia Athletics added a half gamé to their lead over Washington by slam- ming out a 14-to-7 vietory over Chi- cago as each team made 15 hits. Seven runs eame in the second ‘nning before Hal McKain checked them with eight mvlgwr'fiu'gw divided ir of hes ashington divi A pair of heavy- hitting games with the ‘Cleveland In- dians. The Senators triumphed‘in the first contest, 10 to 4, as Al Crowder won his sixth game in eight starts for ‘Washington, but Bump Hadley and two successors fared badly and Lefty Shoff- ner did very well in the second game I Ed Wells of the New York Yankees | and Walter Stewart, rival southpaw | from 'St. Louis, put on the leading | pitching duel of the day and the Yan- kees gained a 2-to-1 victory on a pair| of home runs, one by Harry Rice and | the other by Lou Gehrig.

FOSTER. EW ¥ORK, July 17.—The Chi- cago Cubs have protested the second game" lost to the Bos- ton Braves in the double- header last Sunday, on the ground that Rabbit Maranville, who was aware of the time of day and the working of the Sunday base ball curfew law, de- layed matters by purposely fouling the ball so that the time limit would be up before nine innings could be com- pleted. 3 ‘The Boston club retaliates with the argument that Gabby Hartnett, the Chicago catcher, tried to accelerate matters by purposely getting put out. Altogether it is an unsavory mess that might have been obviated if the Boston club had kept out of the busi- ness of making Sunday double-headers to_order. The Chicago club feels affronted that it should have been treated in such' a manner when it agreed to a second game on Sunday by advancing a game on the schedule merely as an act of friendly courtesy to help along a suf- fering and struggling team. Heydler Reserving Decision. President Heydler of the National League is reserving his decision until he is in possession of all the facts as related by the disputing clubs. . Boston has another such double- header scheduled. It will be played with Cincinnati, game having been moved up so that two games may be played on Sunday, July 20. If the National Ledgue is willing to cheapen the quality of its games to create double-headers, the public will not make much ado about it, unless something again arises | of the kind that occurred in Boston. The Chicago fans concede that the Cubs may have been beaten according to the rules, but they don’t like to think that their champions scored four runs in the first half of the ninth inning, making the score 4 to 3 for the moment in Chicago's favor and then had to lose a possible chance to win because the contest ‘was stopped by the police to satisfy the Massachusetts w. The game need not have been played until July 14 and all of that afternoon there would have been no 6 o'clock law and no occasion to stop on account of any time limit except sundown and darkness. - g FIGHTS LAST NIGHT.
