Bt f i TWOMARKS MADE N INDIAN CLASHES {18-Run Game, 11-Run Inning Griffs’ Best—White Sox Now No Bargain. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HEN records for the sea- son are made by the Nationals it seems they must have the Indians around. Their first record high score for a game this year was 17. And it was registered at the ex- pense of the Tribe. In the meet- ing with Peck’s pack yesterday in Griffith Stadium the Nationals eclipsed that record by putting over 18 runs. Twice this season have the Nationals tallied as many times as 11 in one inning, and on both occasions the Tribe was the victim. It was an 1l-run session that concluded the Na- tionals’ attack in yesterday's tilt. That 17-run licking of the Tribe was handed out by the Nationals in the sec- ond game of a double-header in Cleve- Jand on July 19. Then the Johnson band hammered opposing pitchers while Fred Marberry soared to victory. The first time the Nationals scored as many as 11 times in an inning this season was in the game here on June 25. Then they tallied 13 times to trounce the Tribe, putting over the 11 runs in the seventh inning. N Too bad some of these record scoring affairs could not have been reduced to | some extent and the surplus runs put to good effect last Saturday, when the Nationals were slammed twice by Peck’s Ppapooses. ERHAPS the Nationals may need some of the extra runs when they encounter the White Sox in Grif- fith Stadium the next three days. These proteges of Donie Bush have not been #0 kind to the Washington cause this season. The Nationals have licked the ‘White Sox just eight times in 15 starts. Early in the season the Nationals found the Bush organization rather easy to take into camp. In the four-game set here in May the White Sox were licked three times, and in Chicago in June they were defeated twice in three starts. ' ‘Then Donie Bush’s peppery di- rection began to have its eflect. Head- ing the Western invasion here late in June the Pale Hose held the Nationals to an even break in four games, and in | Chicago hfi month took three of four e, the White Sox have been un- able to do a thing since coming East this time, but they have been playing the Athletics, and recently no club has been able to do much in tussies with the world champions.

The Nationals quickly picked up a Jead at the expense of Mel Harder, usually a clever-performing right-hand- er, and increased it off Roxie Lawson, a Tookie just wp. from Terre Haute of the Three-Eye circuit.- But as the game progressed B-n‘ lones wore considerably and 45 the N went into ‘their eighth inning they held but & two-run advantage .

They combed him for seven safeties and he granted four passes and made two wild pitches. Re- sult, 11 1tuns. All were unearned, though, for the Indians made two errors during ‘the frame. But the runs count- €d, unearned or not. The, Indians kicked up again in the ninth, but theirs was but a half-hearted offensive. No wonder, considering what had happened.

Brooke Grubb and his Giants were leading 2. to 1, when suddenly in the midst of play, a breathless gatekeeper dashed onto the field yelling, “Come on Brooke, your house is on fire.” The Bethesda Fire Department team, whieh was sitting in the stands after having “handed the Takoma Tigers a defeat just prior to the Red Sox-Giant | game, Trose in & body and rushed for| the Bethesda engine. The few Takoma Tigers who were also watching tml game followed Suit. & Far to the west of the Silver Spring Park, the Chevy Chase Grays, and Ken- sington Firemen were playing a hard game when news of the fire arrived. Ina twinkling the Kensington Smoke-Eaters manned their engine and were on their | way to the blaze. The Chevy Chase| and Silver Spring engine companics also turned out, First arrivals at the scene, which is along the highway leading from Salver game. The Nationals collected 17 safeties.

Two passes fol- lowed, then seven succe: ve hits. And two wild pitches were chucked in for good measure. Not until Spencer drove Spring to Chevy Chase, found the two- story frame house an inferno. With inadequate water facilities, the fire- fighters, most of them in base ball uni- forms with the names “Kensington” and “Bethesda” scrawled across their | ch divided forces, s vaging the furniture, while others began con- | necting a hose line to Rock Creek, | which {s about & mile from the Grubb home run.

BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. NCE again the Brooklyn Robins are finding the pathway through the Western half of the National League circuit a thorny road to travel in their quest of the championship pennant. On thelr last swing through the West, the pace-setting Robins failed to break even, dropping seven of their thirteen games, and if the results at St. Louis the last three days are any criterion, then Brooklyn's pennant hopes are due to receive a severe jolt before the Robins return to Flatbush. The second and third blow in two | days was handed the Robins yester- day, when the Cardinals took a double- header, the first, 8 to 2, and the night- cap, 4 to 0. The double defeat while | the Cubs were winning two gave Brook- Iy just & one-game advantage over the Jeague champlons. Burleigh Grimes piiched steady ball in the first, but Wild Bill Hallahan was_brilliant in the closing contest. He let the Robins down with five hits and fanned 12, striking out seven of the nine men that faced him in the third, fourth and fifth innings. “The Cubs took the measure of the | Boston Braves, 6 to 0 and 11 to 1. A pair of highly-polished pitching per- fi | formances by Charlie Root and Pat | Malone and Hack ‘Wilson’s home-run bat accounted for Chicago's triumphs. Root set the Braves down with three hits in the opener, while Wilson blasted out his thirty-seventh and thirty-elghth home runs. Malone produced a five-hit game in the second while Hack was sending his thirty-ninth homer over the wh 11 The lowly Phillies also won & double- header, taking the Cincinnati Reds into camp by the scores of 18 to 0 and |4 to 3. Four Red hurlers were touched for 21 safeties in the first, while Collins had the edge over Rixey in the night- cap. urning on the Cleveland Indians, the Washington Senators managed to hold onto second place in the Ameri- can League by & margin of two points. The Yankees kept pace with the Sen- ators in a home-run festival with the St. Louis Browns, the New Yorkers winning, 14 to 11. Babe Ruth con- nected with his forty-second of the year, while Combs, Goslin and Blue also rapped out circuit blows. Earl Whitehill chalked up his ninth straight victory for Detroit as the Tigers turned back the Boston Red UPSETS MARK BIG DAY ON SANDLOTS Columbia Heights, Defeated by Woodmen, Had Chance to Clinch Flag. U sandlotters and sandlot fans who thronged every lot in the city and suburbs in a daze yesterday upsets to the left of 'em left All dogs, even underdogs, have lhfll’v} day, and yesterday was it. The Columbia Heights Business Men's team, in losing to the Woodmen of the World, 6 to 2, lost a golden chance to clinch matters in the District section of the Capital City League, as St. Joseph, the defending champion, also became a vietim of a doormat’s uprising when the Anacostia Eagles downed the Saints, 16-5. In upsetting the St. Joes, the Eagles, by the same token, gave warning that they are still in the race. The Anacos- tians are now in second place, one and a half games behind Columbia Heights. Perhaps the biggest upset of the day was that of the Burroughs A. C. by the Army Medicos, though as neither team is high in the running, it was more or less overlooked. a ‘The Brookland boys, who started the season ltk:aa house afire only to slump, were looked upon as favorites to beat the Medicos, but a pitcher by the name of Augustus Wood did his bit toward making “underdog day” a big success. Wood held the slugging Burroughs to one hit, a single by McMullen in the seventh inning, while his mates rang up 18 bingles, 17 to 0. ‘The Takoma Tigers, who were coast- ing along to the title'in the Montgom- ery County race, lost to the Bethesda Firemen, 12 to 9, in another decided surprise. In losing, the Tigers, who are tied with Chevy Chase, which also won over the Kensington Smoke-Eaters, 16 to 1, face an ultimate play-off for the championships, as both leaders hve only one more game and both are expected to come through. ‘The Georgetown Insects pulled a sur- prise victory over the hitherto invincible | Wondgr Boys in the first game of the | play-off series for the Capital City | League Insect championship.

Buck Grier, however.-confident of his team’s ability, is willing to meet any of the Northerns more than once. The Washington Red Sox, in winning over the Silver Spring Giants, 10-4, flashed impressively, and by virtue of this victory rank as one of the strongest clubs in this vicinity. The Prince Georges County leaders ran true to_form, with Mount Rainier and Dixle Pigs hanging up victories, the former downing Brentwood Hawks, 11 to 1, and the Jatter coming out on’the long end of a 14-11 count over Hyatts- | ville. In counting over Hyattsville the Pigs virtually climinated Hiser's club, but face a hard struggle themselves if |they mean to overtake George Mose- dale’s flying Rainierites. Lionel Juniors maintained their place |at the top of the heap in the Capital City League Junior race with a 5-3 win over the Acmes, first half winners.

Mount Rainier Juniors, after taking two on the nose from the Cardinals this season, turned the tables with a 10-to-8 victory. A big third inning, in which 10 run- ners crossed the plate, enabled Majestic Radio. to trim Gaithersburg, 16-11. The Radio boys made only 12 hits to the suburbanites’ 15, but were able to bunch the blows. George Harrison's Virginia White Sox had no great difficulty in downing Pepco on the Baileys Cross-Roads field, 8 to 3.

In one park it is left field, in another it is right ficld and in still others it may be both left and center field or right and center field.

BY J. P. ALLEN. EW YORK, August 11.—“Big Bill” Tilden again is in trouble. One might almost suspect that getting into | clash with the lawn ternis author- ities has become a source of amusement and pastime w§th the top ranking American. This time it is all -because of the peculiar manner in which he has “horn- ed in” to the draw at Southamp- ton. None other than the stern and un- compromising P. Schuyler Van Bloom, president, of the Eastern Lawn Tennis Association, is this time upon Tilden’s trail of crime—or otherwise. TWo Vears ago Tilden experienced the remorse- less pressure which this official can exert. As the case stands there’s a lot of unpleasant feeling over the way Tilden was chucked into the Southampton tournament, especially by way of sup- planting Berkeley Bell, the Texan, who might have played on the Davis Cup team abroad had not Tilden been coaxed into action “against his wishes and better judgment.” According to reports from officials of cedure which landed Tilden on the courts at the Meadow Club, Southamp- ton, and pushed Bell off does “not look so good.” Of course the strange assortment of upsets also add a weird and fantastic background to the picture. Few, under the circumstances, are ready to con- sider the tournament with any degree of seriousness. To quote the language of one of the Eastern officials: “The sooner tourna- ments of that character are eliminated hedule, the better it will be That is all very well. den, on his record, has done the same sort of thing before. At Southampton, however, it appears that Big Bill also indulged in one of his favorite pastimes of questioning the decisions of a lines- man. There are signs that within the circle of the umpires’ association, the organi- zation that governs the court corps of judges, there is a sharpening of teeth for just such questioning geniuses. This is another red flag of danger that is fly- ing above Tilden's head. It was intimated that it might not be at all surprising if qualified umpires and linesmen refused to act in matches in which Tilden was engaged. That would surely be something new in the way of a lawn tennis mix-up. {HUME SPRING TEAM NOW IN TITLE RACE —_— ALEXANDRIA, VA, August 11.— Hume Spring A.
