THE EVENING STAR, WASHIN( iTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1930. SPORT S. Slabs “Big Four” Beats Griffs, 10—4: Open Air Bouls in New York Seem Doomed LYONS BUT SECOND OF LOT NATS TR Wallop Earnshaw, but Not Grove, Ferrell—Chisox Repulsed, 5 to 4. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EATING the “big four” pitchers has been as diffi- cult for the second-place Nationals as it has been for | other clubs in the American League this season. The “big four” includes Bob Grove and George Earnshaw of the world champion A’s, Wesley Ferrell of the Indians and Ted Lyons of the | White Sox. Each of this quartet| has scored 17 or more victories in the current campaign. Collective- ly, the Nationals have faced the| four 14 times when the outcome | of the game depended upon one of these stars of the slab. And/| only four times have the Nationals | triumphed. The total of wins at the expense of | t of flingers was raised to| y yesterday, when the Nationals | took the measure of the White Sox, who had on the hill Lyons, seeking his | eighteenth triumph. And it was the first win of the season over Lyons for the Nationals. He had defeated them four times in previous starts, twicé here and twice in Chicago. But for their success against Earn- shaw, the showing of the Nationals against the “big four” would be sorry indeed. It has been Earnshaw’s deci- sion for or against in four games In which he has pitched against the Na- tionals, and three times the Nationals ~have toppled the world champions’ big right-hander to defeat. Neither Grove nor Ferrell has been trimmed by the Johnson band this season. Grove has licked the Nationals twice.and Ferrell three times. 'ROUNCING the White Sox, 5 to 4, in the series opener, the Nationals maintained their game advantage over the third-place Yankees, but lost half a game to the Jleague-leading Athletics, who played the Indians twice and won both games. It was a free-hitting game, but bet- ter pitched than the 11 hitsanade off Lloyd Brown by the White Sox and the 13 off Lyons by the Nationals might seem to indicate. But one pass was issued during the fray, that by at the outset of Washington's second inning, and it had nothing to do_with scoring. Both sides played errorless ball and several times the fielding was sharp. ‘Three double-plays were turned in by n and two by Chicago. but one of the two-way erasures was & side-retiring play and in no dou- ble-play inning was the plate dented. ICORING was started by the White Sox. In the second inning they bunched three hits and two figured in the making of a run. Jolley singled, only to be forced out by Cissell, but Cissell reached second as Clancy was retired, then counted when Mulleavy- hit for a base. Tate followed with a single, but was forced out by Lyons. A run in the third inning was similar- 1y made. Kerr opened the round with » single, but was forced out when Wat- wood bunted. Watwood advanced as Fothergill was retired and scored when | Jolley singled. . In the latter part of the third, though, the Nationals hopped on Lyons for six hits and assumed a lead that never was relinquished. Four runs went over after two were out. With one gone, Spencer and Brown singled in succes- sion. Spencer checked in at third as Myer forceq out Brown, then scored | 5o} When Rice slammed for a base. Manush | Cisseli sent over two more runs with a double and proceeded to third as Fothergill heaved the ball to the plate in a vain ffort to head off Rice. Cronin’s ingle tallied Manush, and Kuhel also gled, but West ended the rally with AL Shires, 23 Today, Got His Reputation Early By the Associated Press. Charles Arthur “The Great” Shires hasn’t set the the base ball world afire with his bat, but he has estab- lished a record for an early repu- tation. Today is only his twenty-third birthday, yet he is one of the widest known performers in the national game. And at that he was but & sub for the Nationals. “Do _som: something; e : say get a reputation early in life” has been one of Shires’ mottoes He said and did plenty while a member of the Chic: ‘White Sox.

C., where tomorrow they will play ‘their first game in the Southern round of the Nation-wide American Legion series. Fifteen players made the trip, includ- ing Manager James Moriarity, Capt. Jimmy Bruen, Woodrow Godfrey, Bill Fletcher, Charles Stump, Frank Backus, Billy Backus, Jack Hudson, Charley Nicholson, Dick Clift, Gene Zimmerman, Charles Baber, Kendall Foltz, Paul Humphries and Everett Clark. A number of fans accompanied the players. St. Mary's Celtics have scheduled Mount Rainier for Sunday at 3 o'clock in Baggett's Park. slie Lane, manager of the Baraca Bible class base ball team, is endeavor- ing to arrange a week-day game tour- nament to determine the local cham- pionship, and a meeting will be called for tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock at 317 King street to compete plans. Cardinal A. C. has scheduled a game with the Columbia Engine Co. for Sun- day at 3 o'clock on Haydon Field. Fort Humphreys World War Veterans yesterday contributed $8.25 to the fund being raised to pay for uniforms and sweaters purchased through public sub- scription for the American Legion Juniors. The second swimming meet of the series will be held at the municipal pool at 8 o'clock tonight. The Gator Swimming Club of Alex- andria has accepted a challenge from the Georgetown Swimming Club for a All | meet, to be held in Washington.

The Nationals came right back, though, to put themselves 2 up again, with Manush’'s Coudle and Kuhel's single. It was well they did, for with Cissell's triple and the infiela erasure of Reynolds, who balted for Clancy, the White Sox tallied in the nint THER pitcher wasted many tthrows, and both teams were on | their toes all the way. As a result, the fastest game of the season for the club was turmed in. It ‘Washington was played in 1 hour and 22 minutes, faster by 11 shortest nine-inning game in which the | Nationals figured. That was the game | here on June 30, which was played in 1 hour and 33 minutes. Incidentally, the White Sox then were the Nationals' | foes and Lyons beat Irving Hadley. The Nationals played a game with | Cleveland here on June 24 in 1 hour | and 10 minutes, but it was called in the | home half of the sixth inning on ac- count of rain. So that time can't go #s a season record. The fastest game for the Na'ionals away from home this year was at B ton April 16. It was played in 1 hour: and 34 minutes Too bad there aren’t more of these | snappy contes's. JOCKEY WHO BREAKS LEG GETS KING’S CONDOLENCE E:f: LONDON, August 13.—Steve Donog- hue, celebrated jockey, who six times has’ ridden to victory in the English Derby, broke his right leg in two places when he was thrown during a race at Nottingham Monday. The accident may vitally affect his future carecr. Among many telegrams of sympathy re- ceived yesterday the two most prized were from Kiig George and Lord Derby. Although yesterday Donoghue was re- ported doing well in a Nottingham hos- | ¢ ital, the mishap probably will keep | Bim ‘out of the saddle for some time, | He broke his left leg last year at the | Balisbury races and a few years ago | was badly hurt in the Paris Grand Prix. | Yesterday there was talk in sporting circles of the possibility of his retiring as a jockey to become & trainer.

Today the Skinkers play D. C. Repair Shop on the Eagle fi2ld at 5:50 o'clock, and tomorrow hook-up with D. C. Fire- men on the same field at the same time. Saturday Bill Jenkins' powerful Red Sox are to be met, and Sunday the Fredericksburg Elks will oppose them in the Maryland town. Perhaps of most interest from a local viewpoint is the game tomorrow with the Firemen. The Skinkers alrsady hold an 8-to-6 decision over the Police nine and fans will be able to get a line on the relative merits of both the Policemen and Firemen. | Manager McDonald’s crew won its ninth straight yesterday in downing Majestic Radio, 12 to 5. The District Police dropped their | third straight yesterday when the Ta- koma Cubs won a thrilling 13-to-12 game. A determined cop rally in the | ninth inning fell short. Wonder Boys won their fourteenth straight in the French Insect League yesterday, when they downed Jack Hayes, 13 to 4.

Call Manager Miles, F ONLY the National League pennant were named “Fort Ti- conderoga” how easy ‘twould be for the Giants to capture it with Ethan Allen in the line-up! Just as his famous ancestor de- manded the surrender of the fort “in the name of the Continental Congress and the great Jehovah,” s0, too, the Giant outfielder, who bears the same name as the Revo- lutionary hero, may storm the cita- del and capture it with the aid of his trusty teammates. ‘The modern Ethan Allen (of course, he isn’t the only one of the name, for there is an “Ethan Allen Club,” made up of hundreds of Ethan Allens, including the ball player) comes from Cincinnati,while the original Ethan Allen was from Vermont. The picturesque frontiers- man of 150 years ago has been de- scribed as “a real bucko of gigantic stature and strength,” but he could Ewen ALLEN e ReVOLUNONARY Nero WMo CAPTURED TPORT “TICONDEROGA . not have been much more of a “bucko” than Ethan 'Allen of the Giants, who is 6 feet tall and tips the scales at around 180. Maybe at batting the Revolutionary hero might have improved on the marks of the former Cincinnati player, for Ethan Allen hit less than 300 for four years with the Reds (.308, 295, .305 and .292), but I'll bet the modern Allen could easily outscore the old- timer in a foot race around the base paths or at chasing flies hit to the outfield. Ethan Allen was born on New Year day, 1904, and attended the University of Cincinnati before join- ing the Reds. McGraw got him with Pitcher Pat Donohue in a trade with the Reds. With Ott, Leach.. Reese and Fullis on_the job, not to speak of Harry Rosenberg, the Giants have a capable and versatile outfleld staff. Allen bats and throws right-handed, and is as fast as they make 'em, both in the fleld and on the base paths. He is a high-class and most likable young man.

Navy Yard can end the second half by de¥eltlnl the Sailors, while Naval Hospital can throw the well known wrench in the works by downing the Gunmakers.

CHICAGO, August 13.—Broad, smiles | wreathed the faces of Manager Joe McCarthy and his bristling Cubs today as they faced the staggered Brooklyn Robins in the second battle of the four- game series for the whip seat in the | National League pennant drive. | To a man, they believed they were | “In.” They believed they had toppled | the Robins from first place for good this year. “Well, I think we've started at last,” Marse Joe said with an infectious chuckle. “We've thrashed the Robins right out of first place and supm-nted | them ourselves. Our pitching has re- turned to its effectiveness of 1929 and | we have a long home stay ahead to fortify ourselves for the final swing around the circuit next month. Our big ' chance to sew up the pennant is here.” Another reason for McCarthy's op- timism can be seen daily now swinging his bat_in batting practice. It is | Rogers Hornsby. The Rajah is im- | proved and all but ready to take his | turn at second and at the plate, at least as a pinch hitter. His fractured | left ankle is all but healed. Guy Bush or Bob Osborn expected to get the pitching call against the Robins today, while Watson Clark was | believed to be Uncle Wilbert Robin- son’s choice. Another record crowd also was expected.

CHICAGO, August 13.— Dazzy Vance's “shirt sleeve diplomacy” no longer worries the Cubs. For several seasons the “Dazzler” caused considerable consternation among Cub hitters by shearing the right “sleeve of his undershirt to shreds. Each time he pitched the shredded sleeve fluttered and the Cubs got it mixed up with the ball 80 regularly that they fanned and fanned. Last season the shirt got so rag- ged and the strikeout victims among the Cubs totaled such a stag figure that Manager Joe McCarth registered a mild but futile protest. So this year the Cubs were told to forget the ragged sleeve and watch the ball. Result, the Cubs have defeated the Flatbush pitching ace six’times in seven starts. ‘He can slice up the left sleeve of his undershirt, too, if he wants to,” Hack Wilson, one of his old victims, said. DISPLAYS CLASS Suarez Is Impressive as He/ Gains 10-Round Verdict Over H. Perlick. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 13.—Justo Suarez, a hard-hitting lightweight from | the Argentine, has made his second ap- pearance in the United States and given the fight fans l()me!hlngl to talk about. Stacking up against the more experi- enced Herman Perlick of the Kalama- 200, Mich., twin brothers, the rugged South American belted out a 10-round decision last night at the Queensboro Stadium to the satisfaction of the ref- eree, the two judges and a crowd of some 6,000, which paid $9,000 to see if Suarez was as good as he looked when he whipped old Joe Glick in his first appearance here. The 21-year-old Argentine showed plenty of scrap, forcing the fight from the start to the finish. At times his blows were wild, but when he did con- | ect they hurt. Suarez turned back the | Michigan youth even more decisively han did Jackie (Kid) Berg, the Eng- lish lightweight and outstanding chal- lenger for Al Singer’s crown.

Malloy was in New York for a conference with the Boston Gob. He bought an option on Carnera’s next American match, and then received the giant Venetian's promise to fight any one whom he selected. ‘The Chicago Stadium management indicated it would be willing to buy the contract for the fight if Malloy landed it. PUGS' GREEDKILLS OUTDOOR PROGRAM Garden Drops Its Plan for Several Shows Because of Heavy Demands. BY WILBUR WOOD. NEW YORK, August 13.—New York is the only fistic center in the country that has produced any big gates d the current outdoor season, d now, if seems, there may be no more open-air programs here because of the exorbi- tant demands of the fighters. The Garden Corporation had planned to stage two big shows in September, but unless the gladiators moderate their demands there is a likelihood that there will be no _more outdoor events. Ac- cording to Frank Bruen and Tom Mc- Ardle, whose duty it is to line up the program, they will lay off until the Garden is thrown open late next month unless the fighters are willing to listen to reason. “It is hard enough to show a profit when we have to shell out 50 per cent for the main ‘event alone,” says Mc- Ardle. “The ball park collects 1212 per cent for rent and the preliminaries cost another 12},. That leaves only 25 per cent for promotion and other expenses. “When one fighter insists on 40 cent and another must have 20 to 22l per cent before he will sign, you can see that we would merely be trying to break even even if we promoted a show. There is no sense in working on such a is. “They are all alike. Every leading fighter has a manager who thinks it is duty to be ‘cute’ to get more for his fighter than the bout is' worth. It has 8ot 50 mow that a challenger is not satisfled with the 1215 per cent allotted by the commission. There was a time when a fellow would be willing to work for nothing to get a shot at the title. Now they are all trying to be ‘cute.’ “Maybe they can find some other promoter who will be stupid enough to give away 60 to 65 per cent for & big match. There have been such suck- ers, but they never lasted long.” Several good matches are waiting to be made, but uniess the boxers are more reasonable they will go by the board. A Singer-Berg fracas for the lightweight title would fit in nicely. A Singer-Mc- Larnin or Berg-McLarnin scrap would do good business at the gate. Among the heavyweights, Stribling would be good for a big gate if paired with Cam= polo or Sharkey. According to McArdle every one of the fighters mentioned wants more for his services than Garden can afiord to pay without going into the red ipk. ‘The queer part of its all is that often the boxer who demands the equivalent of $100,000 to box here will go to Chicago or somewhere else for half that much. The writer never has been able to understand how & manager can figure that $50,000 in Chicago, for instance, is worth more than $75,000 in New York. Yet that is the system on which some of them operate. Chicago may stage the big heavy- weight attraction in September, with Sharkey ing the Garden forces to box Primo Carnera at Soldier Pield. ‘There is some excuse for that, as Car- nera is barred in State and any one who wants to fight him must go elsewhere. ‘Tennis stars from Canada, France, !m:llnd.
