KELLER. HILE Al Crowder has no flashy record as a pitcher for the Nationals, he has been quite a help to the elub since he was procured from the Browns in that startling Manush-Gosling deal back in June. The General's record since donning a Washington uniform for the second time in his career shows nine wins against six de- feats. If this record shows noth- ing else, it does show the General has been a horse for work since coming to the Johnson band. He's done much when it is considered he has been a National less than 10 weeks. Crowder as a National has licked every Washington rival except the Ath- letics and the Yankees, and has been trounced by only three clubs. He has yet to pitch against the Yanks. Al's pet victim has been the Cleveland club. He has trimmed the Indians three times, and they have yet to trim him. He has beaten the Browns twice and the Red Sox twice. The White Sox have bowed to him once and the Tigers once. The A's have taken Crowder over the Jumps twice. So have the Browns and the Tigers. In his first start as a Na- tional this season the General was downed by the Browns. Then he scored five successive wins, sweeping through the Western division and turning back the Red Sox. lost five and won four. In several of t.h:u defeats, though, he was just nosed out. He's a willing worker, this Crowder, | and it did not hurt the Nationals at all to have him thrown in wHen that Manush-Goslin deal was put across. RT SHIRES, whether a first base- man or an outfielder, is to remain | with the Nationals the rest of the current season at least. Authority for this is one Clark Griffith, president of the ‘Washington base ball club. “All poppy- cock,” says Griffith of published reports ©of the great one’s impending transfer to some other club. True, Shires’ nose seems to have been | put out of joint by Joe Kuhel, rookie from Kansas City, so far as first basing with Washington is concerned. And | Art, though trying hard to sonvert | himself into an outfielder, has not made much progress in that direction. This | seems to be worrying no one, not even | Shires.

HICAGO, August 21.—Tt was Clan McGraw against Clan McCarthy today as the New York Giants invaded Wrigley Pield, secking the National League lead |in a four-game series with the Cubs. The Cubs successfully smoked out the Brooklyn Robins in their series & week ago, but faced an even more diffi- cult task in attempting to stave off the sensational rush of Clan McGraw. Back when they had not found the gait which moved them past Brooklyn irto second place and into a position threatening the Cubs' leadership, the | Giants managed to build up an edge over Clan McCarthy. To date the Giants had nine victories over the Cubs in 15 engagements, and most of the margin was built up right in Wrigley Field. Out of seven games played in Chicago, New York has won five. In the Polo Grounds the Na- tional League champions were able to do better, gaining an even break in eight games. ‘The Phillie series took plenty out of the Cubs, and McCarthy yesterday tried to slip Lynn Nelson over on Bert Shot- ton’s team. Nelson was pasted for four of the Phillies’ five home runs, and the Cubs took a 10-to-8 beating. The Giants, however, failed to grasp the op- portunity of trimming the Cub lead to two games by losing, 5 to 4, to St. Louis. Sheriff Fred Blake, who defeated Brooklyn, 3 to 2, in 11 innings in the opening game of that series, was the Cub pitching choice today, while Bill Walker, one of McGraw's southpaws, was expected to pitch for the Giants. Blake has won one and lost three out of four starts against the Gilants. Perce Malone and Charlie Root have fared better. Each has won two from the McGraw men and lost one. Guy Bush lost his two starts. Walker won his only appearance against the Cubs, while Fred Fitzsim- mons, Giant right-hander, has won two from the league leaders and lost none. Advance sales indicated that the mark of around 120,000 paid admis- sions, & National League record, ac- complished in the four-game Robin-Cub series, would be sur . 'w box seat reservations remained available for any of the four games, with grand stand sales running in proportion.

RING SHOW TO BE HELD TO AID HARMON'S WIDOW CHICAGO, August 21 (#).—The Chi- cago Stadium will resume promotion of boxing next month, with a benefit for the widow of Paddy Harmon September 11, and will hold a second show Sep-| tember 26. Billy Petrolle, the Fargo, N. Dak., Ex~ press, and Tony Canzoneri, former featherweight champion, will meet in one of the 10-round bouts on the bene- fit card, while Matchmaker Nate Lewis is negotiating for a 10-rounder between Gorilla Jones, Akron, Ohio, Negro mid- dleweight, and Dave Shade as the fea- ture of the September 26 card. ‘The stadium was closed early in the Summer, but was leased early this month to Sammy Wolff, who promoted a show with Earl Mastro and Fidel La Barba as the main attraction. | MEDICOS AND HUMPHREYS | SCORE IN ARMY LEAGUE Army Medicos conquered Fort Wash- ington, 8 to 7, in 10 innings and Fort Humphreys bested Fort Meade, 3 to 0, in red-hot games yesterday in the Nor- thern District of the 3d Corps Area Base Ball League. Two runs in the tenth against one scored by their opponents gave the Medicos their win over Fort Washington at the latter place, while a homer by Whitt with two on in the seventh brought Humphreys its runs over Meade on the former’s diamond. Pitcher I ng ram’s Hit in Pinch Puts Sailors in Title Series BY FRANCIS E. STAN. OW for the city series. With the Government League pennant safely stowed away in the Naval Hospital bat bag, sand- lot ball fans are getting all het up over the championship race which starts today in the Terminal Park. As scarce as fowls' teeth, or a foul- less prize fight, is a real hitting pitcher, but there.must be a fowl or two in this world of ours with ivories, and some fights without fouls, too, for Dofflemeyer, Terminal backstop, has hit safely in every game this season in the Terminal League—he played in 23 games and made 42 hits in 88 times at bat. Babe Clapper, Pullman mound mainstay, has allowed only 81 hits in 99 innings this year—he won 10 and lost only 1; none of the Pullman re ulars hit below .300. Here are the se: son averages—Chaconas, .585; Smith- son, 429; Tripp, 342; Stahl, 377; Clap- per, 333; Booker, 324; Radke, 311, and Hall, 309. F the Terminal League Park had ears, they would surely be burning, for the die-hards are still raving that Ads PAGE D-1 SHARKEY FISHES, CANPOLO DOZES Drastic Action Necessary to Put New Life in Boxing Racket. BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, August 21.— Something drastic must be done to inject new life into the doddering heavyweight division unless it is to die of in- anition. It requires more than an offer of $100,000 to tempt Jack Sharkey to return from a fishing trip. A derrick must be brought into action to lift Victorio Cam- polo out of his famous armchair so that he can sign to fight Sharkey. The writer's suggestion for the relief of this condition is to organize a 300- mile automobile race between the lead- ing heavyweights of the day, either on the Indianapolis Speedway or over & cross-country course. There would be more money for the promoters if it were staged on the speedway, so that probably would be the best place for it. Stribling Declines. Jeft Dickon, czar of European boxing promotion, tendered a dinner to New York boxing writers Monday night. Among the guests were Young Striblin, and W. C. Carey and Frank Bruen of gle Madison Square Garden Corpora- on. Earlier in the day Carey and Bruen had attempted to sign Stribling to box at Miami next February against the winner of the Sharkey-Campolo bout of September 25. Stribling, miffed at the Garden's failure to use him last Winter, declined to do business. Stribling still has an hallucination that he will get a chance at Max Schmeling in Berlin next Summer. Joe Jacobs, the champion's manager, put himself publicly on record at the dinner to the effect that Schmeling would box in this country next June against the man who stands out at that time as the leading contender. Max Against Uzcudun? As the Garden is going to that fight—and pick Schmeling's op- ponent—Stribling might do worse than to fall in line. He probably will. Dickson is leaving New York today for California to visit friends. From the Pacific Coast he will go to Jack= son, Miss.,, his home town, then pause briefly in New York again before going back to Paris. Jeff probably will sign Paulino Uzcudun for a fight with Schmeling in Paris before he sails for the other side. SINGER SIGNS TO BATTLE M’LARNIN AND CANZONERI NINE TO OP | regularly.

Is Griffith going to sell | Shires for $7,5002 Unbelievable, for the | Washington president is regarded as a shrewd bargainer. He would want more, much more, than $7,500 for the great one. Griffith has stated emphatically that Bhires will stick with the Nationals the remainder of ihis season, at least. Art might figure in a deal after the season ends, Griffith admits. Before? No, E Browns can be licked by the Nationals. The Washington club discovered this yesterday, and how. | McL'od Amassing 18 safeties off three St. Louis | g hurlers, the Nationals stepped out to & | B 14-to-4 triumph. In winning they put on one of the big innings that have leaped from the | bats several times this season. 1f the Browns had any idea of victory, even though trailing, it was dispelled in the | fifth, when Johnson's band helped itself to 10 runs. | Eleven hits were made in this inning. There also was a sacrifice and a hit bat- | ter. Six batters stepped to the plate | twice, and Rice, Manush and Cronin | got two hits each in the round. Judge was on twice, too. He was hit and got & hit. Dick Coffman, who started for the Browns, had been reached fcr three Tuns in the first frame. Then he went along well until the ifth. In that in- ning he was nicked for six hits and hit a batter. The last of the six hits was 4 triple by Crowder that chased over the fifth and sixth tallies of the scoring spree. Chad Kimsey followed Coffman to pitch to only four batters. Each hit Chad safely and four more runs crossed. Another hit was gleaned off Rolland | Stiles before the inning ended, but it | did not help. Two hits off Stiles in the seventh, | though, produced another marker. ROWDER opened fire for the home | side and pitched under wraps | after getting a three-run lead. He left after the seventh, turning the game | over to Carl Fischer. The Browns got six hits and a run off Al the run cross- fng in the sisth. Fischer got by the eighth nicely. but with two out in the ninth he vielded thvee runs.

But Brooklyn was the only club which lost ground. The Dodgers moved into Cincinnati for a double-header with the humble Reds, who had lost seven straight games and 20 out of 25 previous games. But much to their surprise. Cincinnati pitching proved better than Brooklyn's in two close duels, both being decided by 2-to-1 scores. Young Benny Frey gave Brooklyn just five hits as he bested Adolfo Luque in the first clash, while Ray Kolp was equally successful against Ray Phelps in the second although he allowed twice the number of hits. Red Lucas brought him success by driving in the deciding tally with a pinch double in the ninth, The last-place Phillies evidently were destined to win their twice-tled game with the champion Chicago Cubs al- though it required three days of effort to give them a 10-t0-8 decision. The game, which started in an 11-inning tie in the second half of Saturday’s double-header and failed to come to a decision in a. 16-inning second clash Tuesday, finally was played off yester- day and Philly homers were triumphant.

The Sailors lost four in & Tow in a span of two weeks until they beat Navy Yard twice to take the championship. THE grand premiere in the District title serles today brings together the Tile Setters and Capital Trac- tion, winners of the Industrial and Morning Terminal Leagues, respective- ly. While sandlot prognosticators re- fuse to work themselves up over these clubs, they must be watched with a wary eye, especially the Tile Setters. Base ball is full of surprises. OMORROW: will present a clash that should draw fans like fly- paper draws flies, for Pullman, the people’s choice to retain the cham- pionship, and the Calvary Drakes, champs of the Georgetown Church League, meet. The Drakes have a ball club that is likely to raise a fuss in the series, and though they have been unfortunate in drawing the champs as their first op- ponent, the Church Leaguers are not at all disheartened. They figure that: they've got to meet ‘em some time and it might as well be in the first game. The Drakes will have a line-up dotted it is not the place for the series. The chief objection now is that Fee Colliere, Pullman catcher, has so adapt- ed himself to that close backstop that he often lets balls get away purposely in order to catch them on the rebound and pick runners off base. This alleged advantage is hardly fair to the Pullman club. No matter how often a player pulls a stunt like this, he is always taking a chance. There's nothing about the backstop that insures an accurate rebound, and such a play is a dangerous one. Fur- thermore, this trick is not beyond the capabilities of any catcher in week- day ball. There's no intensive study connected to it. All one has to do is to let the ball get away and turn around. It is lands within reach, everything's| 0.

I remember—I remember The Giant-Cub romance, When Matty faced Three-finger Brown And Tinker pegged to Chance; They still may battle for the flag While howling grandstands boil, But where is Johnny Evers now— And where is Larry Doyle? I remember—I remember Jim Sheckard’s guarded lair, Where circus Solly Hofman ranged And speared one from the air, And still they battle for the flag As fate rolls out the cube, But where is Charlie Herzog now— And where the wry-necked Rube? The Big Series. HE old-time fan can turn the clock T back to the old days of base ball— or at least to the older days—when Cubs and Giants bump together through the next four days. This may be the big series of the year, unless the Dodgers scramble back to their feet in a hurry. Either Giants or Cubs can make it extremely tough for the other by taking three out of the four. An even break will favor the Giants, who are now heading home and who, in the mean- while, are attempting to stick as closely as possible to the pace-makers. The Giants by winning three out of four can toss a stick of dynamite under Joe McCarthy's system for they will then start neck and neck with the schedule all their way. % The Giants have been ripping_the road open for the last month. They have been moving at something like a 750 clip. Now they run into rougher weather—four games against the Cubs and four games against the Dodgers— their two main rivals. These are the games that should make them or break them. Old-time Stuff. with stars, featuring Gook Taylor and Bozie Berger.

They are showing distinct signs of coming out of the slump and expect to carry the fight to Pullman. Last year, it may be remembered, the battle for the title was between Hospital and the Sleepers, and history is expected to repeat itself again this season. ‘The Medicos’ main hopes lay in that they have gained the necessary experi- ence from competition in the Govern- ment League to down the Pullmanites.

It will no longer be a one-woman show, but a fairly even production when they get along to the semi-finals. The entry of as strong a British player as Miss Betty Nuthall has also provided an extra spotlight that has increased general interest.
