Johnson to Juggle Batting Order : Ancient Slabsters Shining in Major Races RETURN OF MANUSH 10 BRING SHAKE-UP Cronin’s Two Homers Win Final at St. Louis, 10-9, in Eleventh. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HICAGO, July 24-—When Heinie Manush gets .his underpinnings in good trim and returns to the Nationals’ line-up there will be some juggling of the batting or- der. done by Manager Walter Johnson. The pilot does not think much of the recent offensive performances of some of his play- ers, and hopes to get more from the club with a realignment of batters. The new order planned by John- son will have in the lead-off post the veteran Sam Rice, while Buddy Myer and Sam West, who have at times headed the list, will be well down in the line-up. Joe Judge will follow Rice at bat, Johnson says, and Manush will go back to the third notch he occupied before he was forced out of action at Boston more than two weeks ago by a leg injury. After Manush will come the long-hitting Joe Cronin, Myer and West in the order mentioned. Ossie Bluege will continue to bat seventh. ‘When & left-handed hurler is em- ployed by the opposition, of course, George Loepp instead of West will play center fleld and will be assigned to West’s position in the hitting order. Rice has been very successful at bat lately when leading off in an inning. He has made many hits at the start of & round. But Sam has not. been 20 sturdy offensively with runners on the paths. Instead he has too often driven into double-plays. st the head of the order Johnson be- lieves his club will get what it should from a .370 hitter. E Browns can be beaten by the Nationals, but not easily. In the series final yesterday Johnson’s charges thought they had the game micely tucked away and were about . to coast to the finish when the Killefer club suddenly flared up to put over six Tuns and take the lead in the eighth. ‘Thanks to Joe Cronin, though, the game was deadlocked in the ninth and the Nationals went on to triumph 10 to 9 in the eleventh. Joe's great contribution in the ninth was in the form of a homer, his second of the contest. Joe had started the third inning by parking the ball in the stand back of right-center and he started the ninth by dropping it into the stand back of left field and close to the foul line. Cronin also helped .greatly in the making of the big run in the eleventh. ‘Then, afier Judge singled with one out, Joe whacked his fourth hit of the fray, & one-baser that sent Judge to the far corner. Here George Blaeholder re- lieved Chad Kimsey, but Myer cracked & two-bagger that drove over the de- cisive counter. RED MARBERRY and Sam Gray were opposing hurlers at the outset | of hostllitier and Marberry had all the better of the early going. He was nicked for runs in each of the first two younds, but Gray in the second and third innings was well pounded and be- fore the third ended gave way to Chl_d, Kimsey. When Gray left the Nationals’ held a 5-to-2 advantage and they ‘boosted that bytthl;:; rr;ms at Kimsey's expense in the fou ‘ame. Then Kimsey and Marberry settled to = slab duel, with Marberry yielding a Tun in the seventh. Fred finished the seventh strongly, but in the eighth the Browns bombarded him to cover. Four successive hits were made off him, one & triple by Kimsey, and only one out ‘was registered. That came through a break, for Melillo's drive hit Metzler, who had opened the round with a hit, and automatically retired the runner. Then Fred walked McNeely and, with the Nationals’ lead cut to three runs, Johnson yanked the big Texan, Al Crowder proved & poor substitute, for he was hit by Hale and Goslin and the Browns were just & run back of the Nationals. Irving Hadley went to Crowder’s relief and was immediately reached by Kress for a single that put across the tying tally. After Ferrell popped to Cronin, Metzler, up for the second time in the inning, got a scratchy single tuat scored Goslin. Cronin fell as he stopped Metzler's roller and could not get up in time to make a retiring throw. Hadley fanned Melillo to end the rally. " Cronin came right back to clout his tying homer and thereafter Hadley had the Browns at his mercy. Not one got on the runway in the ninth, tenth and | eleventh innings. Bump had his curve ball breaking sharply and showed plenty of speed. ACH side made 16 hits, and all but Loepp, Crowder and Hadley of the Nationals and Schulte, Gray and Blaeholder of the Browns crashed the safety column. Cronin led the Na- tionals with two homers and two singles, while West got. a double and two singles in_succession. McNeely and Hale got half the Browns'_hits, each socking safely four times. McNeely made his hits the first four times up. One of the blows was good for two bases. He walked the fifth | time up and the last time smacked a | liner that almost knocked Cronin off his feet. \Hale doubled the first time up, singled the second, walked the third time up, then got two singles in succession. The last time up Hale bounded the ball to Hadley. | =t Ji NE game out of four from the| Browns . . .

The had only nine players present when Jimmy McClellan, the mmwu.dldmwthkdwomm frame and painfully hurt his ankle, it looked as though D. €. Repair was going to have its first defeat re- corded and Treasury its first victory, via the forfeit route. Jimmy was un- able to walk, but undaunted, he was allowed to stay in the game by request, and wotta system the Shopmen used. Every inning a few teammates car- ried Jimmy out to right field, where he gat down and watched his fellow out- fielders chase the ball. At the end of every frame he was carried back to the i‘"bench. .nDde t.hrouak: }tl:ouruly "ot e&he asury Department, he was allowed a runner when he hit the ball. He certainly earned the reputation of being “one game guy.” Just how badly he was injured has not yet been de- termined.

T looks pretty bad when a sure-fire winner like District of Columbia Repair Shop comes out to a game with only nine players.

O. was the latest to fall before Manager Noonan's crew, which victory puts Navy Yard but half a game behind the league-leading Naval Hospital crew.

HICAGO, July 24—Blue Lark- spur's chance of becoming the leading money winning horse of American turf history ap- ' parently has been wrecked by lameness. | Col. E. R. Bradley’s 4-year-old son of | Black Servant-Blossom Time bowed & | tendon in his weak right foreleg yester- | day in a workout for the $35,000 Ar- | lington Handicap Saturday, and trainer | Dick Thompson said he would be out of | racing for the rest of the season and | probably for all time. | Lacking but a few thousand dollars | of Gallant Fox's money mark, the 1929 ®&jear-old champion of America was tavored to win the Arlington Handicap Saturday and move up to Zev in win- nings. He refused to even limp coming off the track, but his leg filled a few hours later and examinations indicated he never would be in shape to add to his winnings of $272,000. Curate Now Favorite. Blue Larkspur’s withdrawal from the handicap and uncertainty that Misstep, the Lamar Stock Farm Stable’s crack stake racer, would be able to start, left Joseph E. Widener's Curate as the favorite for the rich event. Curate dazzled clockers yesterday by reeling off 1%, miles in 2:04 2-5. Sun Beau became a big threat when he defeated Brown Wisdom by two and one-half lengths in a mile race yester- day. Sun Beau raced the mile in 1:36 1-5, and worked out at 1 mile and a furiong in 1:49 3-5, a fifth of a second over the track record for the latter distance, Blue Larkspur’s greatest triumphs were scored at Arlington Park.

By the Associated Press. HOEVER it was that sald “youth must pre- vail” probably would be inclined to retract that statement if he should look at the major league box scores these days. The ancients of the pitch- ing brigade have done just about as much prevailing as the young- sters, and often in a more con- vincing manner. Five moundsmen whose combined ages . total approximately 200 years, were sent out to toil yesterday and while only one pitched a complete game, nearly all of them turned in good pitching performances. Adolfo Luque, Cuba’s leading base ball hero, age 39, did a great job as he made first place in the National League safe for the Brooklyn Robins. Luque held the St. Louis Cardinals to five hits through a trying_duel with Sylvester Johnson while Brooklyn slowly gathered enough momentum to win, 4 to 1. Most of the time, Luque had only a one-run lead and it was not until the Cards had tied the count’ in the seventh that the Robins started hitting. The Robins' gain was made possible by their neighbors, the New - York Giants, who downed the Chicago Cubs, 8 to 6, to put Brooklyn a full game plus a few odd points in the lead. The pitching in this contest was a matter of numbers rather than skill, Chicago using five hurlers and New- York four, and the wildness of the Cub throwers was the principal reason for the Giants’ four-run rally in the fifth that decided the game. Quinn Shows ’Em How. Along with Luque, ancient Jack Quinn of the Philadelphia Athletics, whose years number somewhere near 45, above or below, gave the younger itchers a lesson. inn had ‘a_little rouble in the ninth ing and George Earnshaw finished the e for him as the A’s downed Detroit, 4 to 1, but in his eight innin on the mound which gave him his ninth victory, Quinn allowed only five hits and only three were drives past the infleld. Urban “Red” Faber, second in age o Quinn in this quintet, did not figure as a winner or loser for the Chicago White Sox. After holding a 1-to-0 lead for five frames Faber weakened and allowed the Boston Red Sox three runs in the sixth. Hal McKain relieved him and got credit for the victory, as Chicago rallied again and gained a 5-to-3 de- cision. The victory moved Chicago back into sixth place, as Washington cam: back after three straight defeats and pulled out a 10-to-9 victory over Rixey, was given the task of trying to put the Cincinnati Reds into sixth place in the National League ahead of the Boston Braves at the start of yes- terday's double-header. He had a bad inning and was behind when taken out for a pinch hitter in the eighth. Silas Johnson was credited with the victory, as Cincinnati rallied in the ninth to win the game, 8 to 7. Johnson also was charged with the defeat in the second game when he again appeared as a rellef pitcher and was the victim of Boston's eleventh- inning run which gave the Braves the decision, 6 to 5, and kept the teams in a tie. Harry Seibold, not,much younger than the anclents of thé select group, pitched the entire game and drove in the ing run himself. Herb Pennock, the youngster of the quintet, age 36, had a rough time of it against Cleveland and was the principal victim of the Indians' eighth-inning rally which netted five runs and a 10- to-5 victory over the New York Yankees. But it was Ownie Carroll who was charged with the defeat. ‘The Phillies and Pittsburgh ‘used pitchers of almost every kind as the Pirates won two games through Pie Traynor's two home runs. Traynor's first four bagger gave Heinie Meine & 2-to-1 decision over Roy Hansen in the first half of the bill while his second, coming with two on base in the thir- teenth inning put the Pirates on the long end of a 16-15 count. Ten pitch- ers worked in this game and between them they yielded 50 hits.
