SPORTS SECTION The Sundlay St Golf and General WASHINGTON, D. C, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1930 Griffs Take Two on Chin From Tribe : Wingate Bests Stymie to Win Muny Title _ NEAR THIRD PLACE AFTER DUAL SLAM 4-2 Defeat Follows 13-7 Walloping—Lack Punch and Pitching. BY JOHN B. KELLER. | OCK! sock! Twice in the same place. That's what happened to the Nationals in Griffith Stadium yesterday, . when they engaged the Indians in two games and now Walter Johnson’s charges are 10 games out of first lace and clinging to second place gy the skin of their teeth only. To be exact the Nationals after those 13 to 7 and 4 to 2 week end lick- ings are less than two percentage ints ahead of the third-position anks. Which is no great advan-| tage the way the Washington club has performed the past week. | In the first game of the Saturday bargain bill the Nationals had no pitching. In the second game they had no punch in pinches. No wonder they | Jost both. Ad Liska opened fire against | the visitors in the initial set-to, but | Ad was well beaten before the seccad | inning was far under way and before | the inning was finished the Nationals had a third hurler on the hill. Harry Child had been rushed to the relief of Bob Burke, Liska's successor. Harry ook plenty of punishment, so Carl Fischer and Lloyd Brown had a chance to show their wares. ‘Walter Miller, left-hander, started for the Indians, but Walter was not so hot | and he turned over the pitching task to Belve Bean, right-hanaer, when the Nationals put _on a fourth-inning bombardment. Once beyond the fourth inning Bean got along nicely. The second game was all Wes Ferrell, who was after and got his nineteenth victory of the season. Wes yielded | 9 hits and 3 passes and woula have registered a_shui-out had not Third- baseman Golaman made a wild chuck atter (wo were out in the ninth.

Then the first three batters up in the second inning singled and burke was rusned | to the hill. batters.

He worked | two inning, | In this opening game the Nationals ‘were outhit only 14 safeties to 13. The Indians’ hits, though, were good for 26 bases and the Nationals' only for 18. Each side had its home-run maker. During the fourth-inning pounding of Child the ball was driven over the fence to the center-field side of the score- board by Earl Averilt It was Earls l th round-triper of the cam- paign and tallied a mate ahead. Off Bean in the eighth, Cronin shot the ball into the left field sun parlor, the first National to send it to that parking place this year. .No one was on. snere was some dizzy fielding by both | sides, each chargd with three errors. | Bur hose made by the Nationals helped the foe to three runs. Those made by the Tribe netted the hcme side only two runs. Yes, the breaks were all with the Indians. But so was the pitching and timely hitting. Porter’s _single, uor’un': triple and West's wild return aftes three-bagger gave the Indians two runs before the first game was well under way. Successive singles by Falk, Joe Sewell and Myatt netted the Tribe a . run_and chased Liska in the second session. Then Burke picked up Miller's bunt and threw the ball in the general | direction of Seventh street and Florida | avenue to let two more Indians cross | and the bunter reach second. A pass and 2 double meant a run off Child in | the third inning and in the fourth the | visitors made certain of the affair. A walk, a triple, a double, a homer, another double and another triple and the Indians had five runs for the round. Thereafter the Nationals were out of | it 80 the run picked up off Child with two singles and an infield erasure in the sixth and another off Fischer with a pass, Myer's fumble and Morgan's sacrifice in the seventh did not hurt. | The Nationals had but one scoring splurge. In the fourth a wild throw by Morgan, a pass and two singles ac- counted for two runs and elimi d Miller. off Bean put over two more. From then on the Nationals did nothing to speak about. In the second game, the Nationals| 1 600 HOME RUNS LIKELY | filled the bases with two out in the | opening round, booted the chance to| count then did not get another until| the ninth. In the meanwhile, the Tribe | had made good in two opportunities. | Hadley passed the first two batters up in the third and Ferrel's bunt was good for a base-filling single. Montague's sacrifice put over one run and after Porter's strikeout Mor- gan's double put over another. A pass | to Montague at the start of the eighth | paved the way to the second Indian scoring bee. Porter singled only to be forced out by Morgan, but Hodapp's hoist counted Montague and Jamieson's | one-baser scored Morgan. Two were out in the Washington | ninth when Myer reached first as Gold- | man threw wildly. Then Rice and | Manush doubled successively, but Cro- nin checked the rally with a loft to Averill in center. Judge got & slam on the left thumb | that may keep him out of today’s game. It was Burke's wild hurl after gather- |5 ing in Montague’s bunt in the first game that forced Joe out of action. Kuhel batted for Judge in the third | Ri: Aning and played first base thereafter. Burke would not have been sent to Liska's rellef had he not told Manager Johnson a fing:r injured some time ago was in good trim again. In fact, the [ Mc finger on the pitcher’s left hand is far being so. It is feared the digit may be broken. Hadley struck out a flock in _the (35 second game.

This tally was made possible by West's poor return to Cronin, whose peg to Ruel arrived a fraction too late. At right: In the fourth inning of the opener, Child tried to score from third base on Manush's grounder to Bean. He found Myatt waiting with the ball, as this eamera shot shows. A second after the shutter snapped the Indian catcher was bowled over by the force of the impact, but he kept a tight hold on the ball.

The White Sox were plain poison to the Nationals in Chi- cago last month. Then they licked the | Washington outfit three times in four starts.

The White Sox are playing Donle | Bush's sort of base ball these days.| Donie is one of the most peppery man- agers in the business, 50 1t is no wonder the Chicago club is developing the | habit of never being whipped until the last man is out.

They have been averaging 1% home Tuns per game this season. There is a possibility that both big league individual records for home run hitting also will be broken, for the pace setters are now ahead of any past schedule. RECORDS OF GRIFFS BATTING.

No| sooner had Shires gone, however, than Clancy was injured. Something had | to be done, so Bush sent Johnny Wat- | wood, a tall youngster, who had been trying for more than a season to be- | come a regular outfielder, to the first| sack. As an outfield, says this report from Chicago, Watwood never pulied the spectators from their seats, but at| first base he was quite at home. | It developed that while a student at Auburn, in Alabama, Watwood was a | first sacker on the nine. He did not transfer to the outfield until he started playing professional base ball with Alexandria.

The somber squire pitched only last Wednesday against| the A’s in Philadelphia and ordinarily the sad one does better with more than | three days of rest between turns on the | hill. With big Fred Marberry on the sideline now, though, and some of the younger hurlers not going so well Jones may be forced to become an “every fourth day” performer for a time. Manager Roger Peckinpaugh plans to employed today his young right-hander, willis Hudlin,_ In past seasons Hudlin was pretty effective, but he has not burned up the league this year. Yeti Hudlin has done some good slabbing against *he Nationals so they may not find the going against him anything easy. 'm no weakling,” Marberry declares in no uncertain way, “and I'll not be out of the game any six weeks.” Published reports t he would be un- able to take a turn on the hill until the middle of September have Fred peeved no little. “This bresk in my right wrist isn't anything extraordinary. It's a simple fracture and I am told the bone should knit speedily and the cast will be re- moved within a week. That mean’s I'll be ready for service well before the end of August,” Fred insists. “What's more,” says Marberry, “I'll be in good condition. Any reports that I will not be are silly. I'm not losing idaya in which single engagements are M ore i;epper Invade Ball Park This Week]“ now, despite the heat, so that I could take my regular turn in the box.

So Sam remained out of right field dur- ing the first game of the Saturday double-header and may lay off several billed. The intense heat of the past four weeks has sapped Rice’s strength no little and his effectiveness at bat and afield has been greatly impaired. For some time Sam Las been in need of rest, but Griffith thought the veteran might be able to stick through the hot spell and it was after a talk with the club president that Sam returned to th game Friday. Griffith admitted after seeing Rice | yesterday ,morning, though, that it might be Well for the old-timer to go | easy awhile, “His eyes did not look | right to me,” explained Griffith re- garding his change of opinion. “Per- haps Sam is right and I am wrong. | T'll leave it to his judgement.” Manager Johnson long ago had planned to rest Rice, but injury of Harris, the only experienced substitute outfielder | with the Nationals, delayed the vel- eran’s lay-off.

HILADELPHIA, August 9.—The world champion Athletics in- creased their pennant lead to- day by taking both ends ot a double-header from the Chicago White Sox for the second day in succession. The Mackmen won by soores of 9 to 2 and 3 to 0. Victory in the first game went the Mackian way with little trouble, the champions falling on young Ed Walsh for three runs in the opening inning and keeping up their attack on Dutch Henry. The second game, however, was a keen battle between Caraway, youthful southp: and Earnshaw, that was decided when Jimmy Foxx hit his thirty-second home run of the year with two on base in the eighth inning.

Ross Somerville of the London Hunt Club captured the Canadian amateur golf championship for the third time today. Somerville seems to have made a habit of winning the Dominion crown in even years. He won the title first in 1926 and repeated in 1928. The Canadian star took the lead on the second hole today-with a birdie two and never relinquished it. He led by 3 up at the ninth hole; 5 up at the eighteenth. and ended the match on the twenty-sixth with a 4 to platt's 5. Somerville scored an approximate 73 in the morning round to Platt’s 80 | and then scored an approximate 32 for the eight holes of the afternoon round. Of these eight the Canadian won six, the other two being halved. Platt never had a chance after the first seven holes of the match. | American League. YESTERDAY'S RESULT!

ORONTO, Ontario, August 9.-— Flashing the form that enabled him to win both sprints in the Olympic games at Amsterdam, Percy Williams, the Vancouver express, bettered the world record for the 100- meter dash in the Canadian track and fleld championships today. Williams streaked the distance in 103-10 seconds, clipping a tenth of a second off the listed world record of 10 4-10 seconds, first set by Charlie Paddock in 1921 and equaled twice last year by Eddie Tolan, colored sprinter Irom the University of Michigan. Officials of the meet announced they would apply for world recognition of Williams’ mark. The course was re- measured and found to satisfy all re- quirements. Officials said a variable cross-wind cut off by the grandstand was blowing and had no effect on Wil- liams’ sensational performance. Willlams won his heats without trouble and faced a field of five in the final. He kept pace with them for 50 meters and then burst forward with a great spurt to win by three yards from Johnny Fitzpatrick of Hamilion. Ralph Adams of Hamilton was third, A crowd of 5,000 saw the best ath- letes in the Dominion compete not only for national titles but for a place on the Canadian team in the coming Brit- ish Empire games. Only one other record fell during the day, Bill Reid of Toronto winning the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 10 minutes 303-5 seconds to set a new Canadian mark for this event. Williams’ 10 3-10 seconds’ performance in the 100 meters clipped three-tenths of a second off his own Canadian record for the distance. Doran Pilling of Cardston, Alberta, and Victor Pickard of Hamilton easily retained their Canadian titles in the javelin throw and the pole vault, re- spectively.
