SPORTS. arberry Keeps Fit as Wrist Mends : East Scores in Intersectional Base Ball BIG HURLER HOPES TO SEIRE 20 VS = Is Expected to Be Readyl When A’s Are Next Met. Griffs Down Tribe. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HEN that important | three-game series with | the Athletics rolls around | the last week of this! month, Fred Marberry, now nursing a broken right wrist, ex- | pects to be ready to show his pitching wares to the league lead- | ers. With the fractured joint now | incased in a plaster cast, the big Texan dons a uniform and exer- cises daily at Griffith Stadium that he may keep his legs in trim and not pick up weight. Within two or three days after the cast is removed, Fred firmly believes he will again have his salary wing in condition for use. Mar- berry has plenty of pluck, and .is apt to be in there against the A’s. And when he gets back to the game Marberry will want plenty of work. | Fred has set as his goal this season at | least 20 victories. To date he has scored | 13, but as the season will have little | more than a month to go to the finish after he swings back into action he’ll have to toil overtime to bag the seven Wins needed to make the total of 20. He figures the wrist Injury he sus- tained in a game of the double-header in New York Jast Saturday will cost him four or five games. “That's what I would have pitched in the time I will be | on the bench,” says Fred, “and as I was | ing along so well I believe I would; fave continued to win.” In the game in which he was hurt Marberry registered his ninth straight win. He has reason to believe he was shape for a fine winning streak. P r the Indians yesterday, the Nation- | als scored & 5-to-4 victory, yet Jost | d to the Athletics. The A’s en-| ‘White Sox in a twin bill in | 1a and took both tilts. there- | by increasing from seven and one-half to eight the number of games they are up on the Washington outfit. In trouncing the Indians the Nation- to do that in the early part of the cam- paigning? Perhaps it was because they wanted to cheer their leader, Walter Johnson, back on the bench for the first time since his bereavement, that they ut on the sparkling finish that upset ghe ‘Tribe. EFT-HANDERS were pitching rivals at the outset of hostilities. Carl Pischer, pitching in his second big- | league affair and in his first on the Na- tionals’ lot, opened fire for the home side, while the red-thatched Milburn Shoffner began for Cleveland. Fischer's other. start was against the Indians. Then he hurled six rounds and WwHs | Joser. He went six yesterday, then gave way to a pinch batter, so Lloyd Brown came on to get credit for the Washing- ton win. Shoffner was chased from the hill in the sixth session. The Nltlm\llsl had been counting off him for two in-| nings and in the sixth-they nicked him for enough to tie the -game before Pete Jablonowski was rushed to the slab.| Jabby got his in the eighth to become | T, The Nationals outhit the Indians, 14 safeties to 10. Eight of the Cleveland hits and all the Cleveland runs were) made off Fischer. Carl had a deal of speed and reg! stered seven strike-outs, but at that his control wasi faulty. Al- | though he issued but four passes. went to a three-and-two count with | v batters and two o wa s in the Tribe’s big | Tound.

So was Jabby in the seventh and eighth, two blows off him after two were out in the | eighth putting over the big run. ANUSH and Cronin colaborated to | shove across the declsive tally in| the eighth. Heinie whipped a two-bagger down the right field line and scored when Cronin followed with a single driven between Montague and Goldman to left field. The hit con- cluded a perfect day at bat for Joe. Previously he had gleaned a_double, two singles and a pass off Shoffner. | 1t was Cronin’s double, Judge's in- fleld single and the forcing out of Judge by Bluege in the fourth inning | that put over the first tally for the Nationals. A bunted single by Myer.

STAN. i AVAL HOSPITAL'S machine in | the Government League fell apart yesterday, and no more deserving aggregation of ball players probably ever took the field against it than Navy Yard's. Climaxing an amazing fight, Navy Yard, affer finishing a poor last in the | firsi-half race, took a one-game lead | by defeating the champion Naval Hos- 7. Until yesterday the Southeasterners were able to beat the Sailers only once this season, and then | when a team of second-stringers per- formed after the first-half title had been clinched. Still more interesting is the fact that Navy Yard turned toe (rick without | the aid of its best pitcher, Ol' Lefty Kuhnert. ATURALLY, with so much at stake | in the fracas yesterday, every one | was predicting a large crowd. It the sandlot attendance record standing _that of the South Ellipse an American Legion champion- ship, a crucial Sunday School game and the D. C. Repair Shop-D. C. Fire- men battle were going on. The throng was estunated from 2,000 upward. LMOST languid and diffident in his attitude, Ray Harover outiasted Pete Ingram and though contin- ually in hot water managed to stop a fierce rally in the end to win, 8 to 7. AVY YARD'S road to the pinnacle has been long and winding. With only one dependable pitcher— Lefty Kuhnert—the Southeast team has had bad luck with the weather and due | | | Naval Hospital | b to postponements has played the last three days. Today and tomorrow the Gunmakers will get a much needed rest and Mon- day they will take the field against the Union Printers. Then on Wednesday will come Na Hospital's chance for revenge. However, the Gobs may strike a tough nut in the Typos Tuesday. So despite the one-game lead Navy Yard holds, the race is pretty much of fight yet. The standings today: Navy Yard | ‘Won. Lost. 7 3 Union Printers G. P. O Interstate NE of the queerest cases on the sandiots and one that appears well nigh unanswerable is that of Everett Russell. A pitcher who commanded the re- spect of a slugging club like Pullman, Russell just doesn't seem to click at all against midget class batters. Just why he has failed to puzzle midgets when seniors and unlimiteds respect him, is a mystery. He has made such potent teams as the Firemen, Army Medicos and Curtain Ali-Stars bite the dust. In a relief role day before yesterday he was pounded by Spengler Post. Yes- terday he failed to make the least im- print against the same team. The slants that fooled the big boys were pounded all over the lot, the Spengler vs knocking him out of the box in less than two innings. Spengler made 11 runs in the first two innings to win the championship. Incidentally, the Spenglers loom as one of the strongest clubs yet to rep- resent the District in the regional se- ries. This club fought its way through a_classy field to win the title. Thus far, no local Legion winner has gotten by the first regional play-off. Maybe this is the District's year. SOUTH PLAYS EAST FOR MUNY HONORS Wingate, Jacksonville, Victori' Over Burrows, Opposing Philadelphian. By the Associated Press ACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 9.— The South and East matched | their best, Bob Wingate of Jack- sonville and Joseph Greene of Philadelphia, today in the 36-hole finals of the ninth national public links golf tournament.

Greene, a young man of 24, who works six days a week as a yarn twister in a textile mill, never has come this far before, but he demonstrated his ability by defeating Dominick Strafaci, | Brooklyn sharpshooter, in the semi- finals. Strafaci never recovered from 2 down to the yarn twister. The match | ended 2 and 1. Wingate was & convincing golfer in both his rounds yesterday. He literally smothered his opponents under a bar- | rage of pars and birdies and won each | time on the fourteenth hole. 5 and 4. | He beat Ted Burrows of Washington | Detroit in the semi-finals. The diminutive O'Palka, only 18, was the biggest surprise of the tournament Playing with a set of mismated clubs, | littie Larry, a clerk in a telephone com- | pany back home, drew large galleries after he beat his first opponents. Ted Burrows, the Capital golfer, put up a fine battle against Wingate yes- terday. Beaten by superior golf, and 3 down at the turn, although he reached the ninth hole in 38 strokes, Burrows fought gamely against Wingate, only to lose to a par 3 on the fourteenth hole. | Burrows' putting failed him in the | crucial spots of the match, but Win- gate played like an inspired golfer, getting out in 35, one under par, and | turning 3 up. Burrows won the ninth | with a birdie 3 to turn 3 down, and he won the eleventh with a birdie 4, but Wingate quickly gained the hole back by winning the twelfth.

Wood, jr., against Frank Shields yesterday following his narrow escape from defeat Thursday at the hands of George M. Lott, who had him at match point five times, brought forth high praise from William Tilden. “Wood is the most improved play- er I have seen since I came back,” said the national champion. “He is a remarkable match player. Any one who can come through in the pinch with the kind of shots he has made the last two days is a tough man for anybody to beat.” ROCKVILLE BOXING SHOW PLEASES FANS Boxing fans who saw the American Legion and National Guard show at Rockville got more than their money's worth, most of them agreed today. | There were 11 amateur bouts and the | card as a whole was entertaining.. Mike Tardugno's decisive victory over Frank Poza and Doug Swetman’s show- ing against the Maryland 126-pound champion, Johnny Fritz, were features. Tardugno, Georgetown University 126- pounder, spotted Poza 10 pounds and probably would have knocked him out if the bout had been more than three rounds.

WO0OD AND ALLISON IN FINAL AT TENNIS By the Assoclated Press SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y., August 9.— Heading for his second big tournament victory in a week, Sydney B. Wood., Jr., of New York was confronted by a for- midable obstacle in the person of Wil- mer Allison, Davis Cup player from Fort Worth, Tex., in the final round of the annual Southampton Invitation Tennis Tournament today. ‘Wood, who conquered Ellsworth Vines, jr., of Pasadena to win the Seabright bowl last week, scored in spectacular | fashion over Frank Shields of New York yesterday in the semi-final round, while Allison was upsetting Frank Hunter of New, Rochelle in a ding- dong battle. Wood dropped the first two_sets to Shields, who had_eliminated Big Bill Tilden on Thursday, but steadied to take the next three in a row and the match, 1—6, 1—6, 10—8, , 6—4. Allison, after winning the first set, dropped the next two and then came back to win the fourth and fifth and the match. The scores were 6—4, 9—11, 4—6, 1—5, 6 Richard N. Williams and J. Gilbert Hall gained the final round of doubles by whipping Wilbur F. Coen of Kansas City and Harris Coggeshall Moines, 6—2, 7—5, in the quarter-finals, and Phil Neer, Portland, Oreg, and Edward W. Feibleman, New York, 9-—1, 6—3, 6—3. in the semi-finals.

Brandon proclaimed to all and sundry that the man who won the Falls Church preliminary in the Metropolitan dis- trict horseshoe championship would move right on to a major title it was no idle boast. Today he presented some figures and lat the same time reiterated his pre- diction. The figures reveal that George C. Thompson. who won the Falls Church title, chucked 142 ringers out of 504 shoes in the seven games he pitched. This gave him an average of 28 per hundred, which is extremely high for this lon of the country. But Thompson, although _ he triumphed, wasn't in it with Sam Darnes, the runner-up, in the matter of pitching ringers. Darnes threw 138 out of 386 shoes for an average of 35.7. Moreover, in one game he established a Metropolitan district record for cham- plonship play with 26 ringers out of 52_shoes. Brandon’s statistics tend to show that Darnes is really more formidable than the Falls Church champion. Thomp- son’s close shoes put him over in the | final, in which he won two out of three games from Darnes. H. E. Darnes, Sam's brother, also | had a high ringer average at Falls | Church.

They are cocksure that cither’ Thompson or Darnes or both will survive the Fairfax County play- offs, which will be staged under Brandon's direction at Falls Church. The county pairings will be made in such manner that Thompson and Darnes won't meet unless in the final match, Thompson being placed at the top of the list and Darnes at the bot- tom.

N UDAUNTED by the dire predic- tions of heat, golfers of the Co- lumbia Contry Club have made the initial gesture in a move to gather together as many of the| Washington Golf and Country Club/| golfers as care to brave the blazing sun to play in a friendly match a week | from tomorrow over the course of the | | Columbia club. | An invitation, sent from Columbia | ‘{\7}’ Miller B. Stevinson, the District | the Columbia | | champion and captain of | team, to the Washington club, has been | acepted by chairman Paxton of the Washington Golf Committee and early in the afternoon of August 17 the trek | will begin from the club across the river in Virginia over to Columbia, where the towering oaks of Montgomery County have failed to keep the heat from the fairways. Stevinson makes plain in his invita- tion that the affair is not to be in the nature of a formal challenge to a team match, and couches his letter in phrases that indicate the affair will be nothing more than a friendly get-together. But then “Stevie” always is that way. He always does the nice thing. Matches will be made up at the first tee at the suggestion of the players themselv and there will be no formal business of naming a team, such as there used to be when those unpopular team matches were being played by a half dozen or more of the local clubs. n other words the affair will be nothing more than a group of Wash- ington players going over to Columbia to play with their friends from Co- lumbia. And a refiesl engagement will be played at Washington later in the year. Stevinson points out that if the sun continues to pour down its heat and the weather is deemed too hot to play golf the whole thing may be called off by agreement of the two clubs, but he hopes the weather will break before the seventeenth and that a good, old- fashioned get-together may be the re- sult of the friendly gesture. | | The professional sweepstakes tourney, scheduled to be held at Columbia on | Monday, has been postponed because | of the conflict of the event with the Philadelphia open championship, sched- uled for decision next Monday and Tuesday. Two or three local pros plan 1o go to Philadelphia and several Balti- more pros are going. ‘“Anyhow,” says | Fred McLeod, “it's 0 doggone hot to play golf.” Freddie has played little | golf during the hot spell, for he does not like to play those crisp iron shots for which he is famous off und whose consistency is like unto that of concrete.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE 1cCALLUM to square his match with Col. Joseph CUBS SOLE VICTOR OF DAY FOR WEST |Giants Gain on Both Rivals for Pennant by Twice Downing Pirates. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. NOTHER East-West warfare is on in full blast in the major leagues, and, if the opening day’s results are any criterion, then the Eastern clubs are due to see their percent- age columns rise several notches, Ten games were played in the inter- sectional combat yesterday with the Western teams able to salvage only one of the conflicts. The Chicago Oubs kept their section of the country from being completely whitewashed by de- feating the Boston Braves, 6 to 1. Home runs by Clarence Blair and Charley Grimm coupled with effective pitching by Guy Bush gave the champions the game. Boston's single run was the re- sult of Walter Berger's twenty-second home run. 1t was well the Cubs did win or they would have found themselves trailing the Robins by still greater margin than 31, games. With Babe Herman smack- ing the ball for two home runs, a dou- ble and a single in four times at bat, and Glenn Wright and Jake Flowers adding a pair of circuit drives, the league leaders easily downed the St. Louls Cardinals, 11 to 5. While the Robins were winning, Ray Pmfi’.fl chalked up his twelfth triumph of season. The Giants ed a half-game on the Cubs and Robins when they were called on to play the Pirates twice and | won both, the first, 9 to 1, and the second, 7 to 2. Bill Walker kept the Pirates’ 11 hits scattered in the opener while Carl Hubbell let the Corsairs down with five blows in the nightcap. Lioyd Waner, experiencing his best day at ‘bat since returning to the game, got four hits in five times at bat in the first encounter, but did not play in the second. Home runs by Roettger, Hogan and Comorosky played an im- portant-role in the scoring in the sec- ond fracas. Brickell in Limelight. Freddie Brickell, a recent acquisition from the Pirates, played a leading part | in the Phillies’ 8-to-5 triumph over the | Reds. The former Pirate singled and tripled in five times at bat and made a brilliant long running catch of urorher’s drive. ‘The Athletics found little trouble with Chicago, whipping the White Sox, 5to 1 and 4 to 1, in a double header and thereby increasing their lead in the American League another half game. Bob Grove hung up his eight- eenth victory of the season in the opener as Al Simmons and Jimmy Dykes drove out home runs. Shores bested Ted Lyons in the last game, letting the Hose down with three hits. Keeping pace with the champions, the Washington club came from behind to defeat the Cleveland Indians, 5 to 4. After spotti the Indians four runs in the fipst four frames the Senators kept nicking at Shoffner and Jablonow- ski until they took the lead in the eighth on Manush's double and Cro- nin's fourth hit. George Pipgras and Harry Rice put together some effective hurling and batting, respectively, to give the Yan- kees a 5-t0-3 decision over the Browns. Pipgras held the Browns hitless for five innings and then gave only five while Rice accounted for three runs :;&{1 & single, home run and a base on s.” The Red Sox, aided by a six-run rally in the first inning, defeated De- troit, 8 to 6, to break the Tigers’ six- game winning streak. In winning the Sox were forced to put down a four- run rally by che Tigers in the eighth, TENNIS TITLE CLASH IS MIDWEST VS. EAST By the Assoclated Press. EASTHAMPTON, N. Y., August 9.— 1t was the East against the Middle West in the final round of singles of | the annual Maidstone Club Invitation | Tennis Tournament for women today. Mary Greef of Kansas City and Mar= jorie Morrill of Dedham, Mass., 'were the contestants with the Middle West~ ern girl, sixth in the national ranking, favored to win. Miss Morrill, who ranks eleventh, eliminated Sarah Palfrey of Brookline, Mass., in the semi-finals yesterday, 6—4, 9—7, while Miss Greef easily dis- posed gr_lzxrothy ‘Weisel of Sacramento, Wheeler and then beat him on the |6—0, thirty-sixth green of an overtime | match. Dr. G. Brown Miller will meef the winner of the Admiral H. R. Stan- | ford-W. C. Mendenhall match, to de- | cide who shall meet Rust in the final round.

Hill won by | default from William F. Ham. P. 5. Ridsdale, one of the few scratch | goifers in the Senior Association at | Chevy Chase, who is the editor of | Nature Magazine, has done something that would give him a scralch rating in | any essociation of golfers, no matter | how strong. Ridsdale, one of the stead- jest players at Chevy Chase. has just | completed playing the difficult fifth | hole 6f that course for the sixth con- secutive time in birdie 3s. The hole is | a par-4 affair of 350 yards, demands a well-hit tee shot to carry a bunker from the tee, and then takes a well-placed pitch to & narrow green, surrounded on three sides by bunkers. Ridsdale’s stunt is the talk of the club. ‘Ten courageous woman golfers braved the heat of yesterday to play in the Woman's District Golf Association tour- | ney at the Bannockburn Golf Club. | They were paired in twosomes and then | played at handicap match play, with | their regular club handicaps. In the matches. the results were as follows: Mrs. Newman Little defeated Miss Fay, 4 and 3; Mrs. H. B. Hird defeated Miss E. Harriss, 7 and 6: Mrs. T. M. Beavers defeated Mrs. J. T. Powell, Miss Sue| Gantt defeated Miss Kenyon, 3 and 2: | Mrs, Jerome Meyer defeated Mrs. Frank R._Keefer, 2 up. The gross prize was won' by Mrs. Keefer, with a card of 91. Mrs. Keefer played the first nine in 42, but took a 9 on the tenth hole and an 8 on the twelfth. finishing the last nine in 49. The low net prize went to Mrs. Meyer, with a card of 93—16—17. Mrs. Meyer was being congratulated today | on her score, for the 93 card makes | the first time she has broken 95, even | over her own course at Woodmont. John E. McClure came within a half- inch of scoring an eagle 3 on that lengthy first hole at Congressional the other day. McClure put together two mighty wallops from the tee and| through the fairway to reach the green ' and then” hit the cup with his putt for a 3. The birdie 4 was a cinch. Danny_Burton, red-headed assistant to Bob Barnett at Chevy Chase, fin ished all even with Elwood Poore, former assistant at Chevy Chase, in a match played at the Rolling Green Club | of Media, Pa. Burton was 4 down at the eleventh hole and managed to square the match.
