BY JOHN B. KELLER. OMBING George Blaeholder for nine hits while Lloyd Brown held the Browns to C six, the Natlonals yester- day bagged the final of the series with the St. Louis club, 2 to 0. The win got the Nationals the set, it being their third in the four starts against the Browns. Also it increased the Nationals’ ad- vantage over the third-place Yankees a half-game, rain keep- ing the Yanks idle in New York. Brown pitched a weird game at the outset, but steadied after the first four rounds to finish well. In the four funny frames the left-hander issued three passes, made two wild pitches and yiel a hit a frame. Twice the Browns filled the bases, but once a double-play got Brown out of difficulty and oflce he took care of the situation self. After those four innings, though, but 17 batters faced Brown. One got & single in the fifth frame and another a single in the eighth. Three of the six hits gleaned off Brown were made by _Alex Metzler, little outfielder. Blaeholder spread the Nationals’ hits over five frames. Four times the home side clustered two in an inning. The clusters in the fourth and eighth pro- duced the tallies. Joe Judge and Buddy Myer with extra-base blows paved the way to the scores. Ossie Bluege and Sam Rice drove them across. Some Funny Frames. ‘The first scoring threat was made by the Browns. They filled the bases in the second session, but got nowhere. Kress singled and after Ferrell lined out Melillo and Schulte drew passes. Cronin, though, made a nifty stop of O’'Rourke’s hot one back of second and & double-play ensued. Singles by Cronin and Judge in the second were wasted by the Nationals. Cronin died stealing before Judge hit, and though West walked following the second single. Bluege skied out and Spencer forced out Judge. 4 Again the Browns filled the bases in the third. With Blaeholder out of the ‘way Brown fumbled a bunt to put Blue on. Metzler beat out a slow one Myer got on the grass back of first, and after West bagged Goslin’s hoist’ Blue ad- vanced to third. Here Kress walked to crowd the sacks, but Brown knocked down Ferrell’'s bounder and the scoring threat had passed. ‘The Nationals got two more singles in the third after one was out, but it netted them nothing. Myer and Rice made the hits, but Manush forced out Rice and in turn was forced out by as though the Browns nrel; would find the plate in the 1¢ ‘when Melillo opened the inning with a triple. But Oscar was held at third as Cronin heaved out Schulte and Brown after taking O'Rourke’s tap ran down Melillo unaided. Two wild pitches let O'Rourke reach the far corner before Blaeholder fanned. Griffs Find Plate. The Nationals dented the plate in the fourth. Judge began the attack by bouncing a double off the right fleld fence. West's infield erasure advanced the Griffs' captain to the far corner and he was scored by Bluege's single. Judge got his third hit of the game | after two were out in the sixth. It was a drive past Goslin in_left and was good for three bases. It did no good, however, for West grounded to Kress. Goslin’s single with one out did not he Bra:';u in the eighth, but the ‘managed to comb Blaeholder | for another tally in this inning. Myer began the frame with a triple and crossed when Rice singled. at was all, though, for Manush forced out Rice and was caught when he tried to steal while O'Rourke and Blue took good care of Cronin. ‘West _was the busy boy in center fleld. Eight way and he handled all He had to sprint far for some. As Judge batted, he lengthened the distance. of his drives. Up three times, Te singled in the second inning, doubled in the fourth and tripled in the sixth. Myer and Bluege got back on the job qun,rthz former after nursing a lame leg, and the latter after a restful term on the bench’ Both did well against e Browns. Only 1 hoir and 24 minutes needed dor the series wind-up. That's just longer than the Nationals' shortest game. Brown pitched it against the White Sox August 12. BROWNS?

Below is shown some of the crowd “parked” on the side of the hill, adjacent to the courts. HEY'RE here today, the world champions, and it looks as thought Lefty Grove, Connie Mack's prize smoke ball artist, and Al Crowder will fight it out on the hill this afternoon in Griffith Sta- dium. Manager Walter Johnson al- ready has declared Crowder will go for the Nationals. Grove is in line as pitcher for the A's. A win for the Nationals this after- them. It would be the first time this year for them to hand Grove a trim- ming, and what's more it would even their series with the Philadelphia club. The A’s have licked the Nationals nine times this season, while the Nationals have licked the A's but eight times. Incidentally, it would cut to seven and one-half games the advantage the Athletics hold over the second- place Nationals. But why worry about that? Better say it would keep the Nationals fairly well ahead of the third- place Yankees. HIS afternoon’s engagement opens a three-day stand against the world champlons by the Nationals. To- morrow morning the Johnson band will move to Philadelphia for Monday and Tuesday tilts with the Mackmen in Shibe Park. Johnson plans to employ Sam Jones and Bump Hadley egainst the hard hitters in the two Philadelphia games. Probably Mack will counter with his two .Georges, Walberg and Earnshaw. That ought to keep the Nationals busy. The Washington outfit is to send its strongest array of talent against the A’s in the three games. All regulars now are back on the job and trpen in fine fettle. There should be plenty action in this tussling between Nationals and Athletics. IOME time ago Clark Griffith, presi- dent of the Nationals, picked up from Hagerstown of the Blue Ridge League a young pitcher by name of Mike Meola, and sent him to the Wash- ington farm at Chattanooga. Mike was not quite ready for the Southern Asso- cia brand of base ball, so he was shifted tp Montgomery of the South- eastern League. Now come glowing re- ports of Mike’s pitching in that circuit.

CUBS PUSH GIANTS BACK AGAIN, 4102 Malone Earns 16th- Victory . of Season by Getting Great Support. * By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, August 23.—Nine Chi- cago Cubs, operating together like an intricate machine, caught the New York Giants today and tossed them one game farther back in the National League standings. Every man in the Cub line-up con- tributed some important action and in less than two hours Chicago had a 4 to 2 victory, Pat Malone had his six- teenth victory of the season, and the Giants were four games back of the National, League champions. ‘The terminal cause of the Giants downfall was a sizzling single to left field by Hack Wilson with English and Cuyler on the bases in the eighth in- ning, but the pudgy home run artist’s effort would have been wasted had it not been for some preliminary work by Dan Taylor, Cuyler and Clarence Blair, combined with breath-taking flelding by English and long George Kelly. Malone Has Trouble. Malone did not have as easy sailing | against the Manhattan Maulers as he did against the Brooklyn Robins last week, but he was tough in the hard spots, and the support he received more than made up for any shortcomings on the part of the Altoona, Pa, fireman. Malone got into deep trouble in the fourth inning when Bill Terry turned loose a double, the first of his three hits and after two men were put out, Travis Jackson dumped a home run into the right field bleachers. Jack- son's hit just made it, Cuyler almost plucking it off the top of the screen. He had other troubles, but with bril- liant help was not scored on again. Carl Hubbell, slender New York southpaw, went along in beautiful style until the eighth inning, when he sud- denly lost control and was blasted from the rubber. Until that time he had given only five hits, but when he left for two runs. Both teams flelded perfectly, but the accomplishments of Woody English, Cub shortstop, outshone even the work of Hughie Critz, who saved the Giants a lot of trouble. In the seventh inning he made a great stop and throw to get Lindstrom, and a moment later of Terry’s hard slash, but falled to catch the Giant first baseman. Ott doubled into the left center field crowd. ‘Terry stopped at third and three pitch- ers started to warm up for Chicago. English, however, assumed personal charge of the situation, racing over in front of second for O'Farrell's smash to end the inning. Kelly Stops Rally. Long George Kelly, sitting in for Charlie Grimm at first base, ruined a Giant rally in the fifth. Lindstrom and ‘Terry singled after Critz had fanned and Leach had popped out. O'Farrell got what looked like a handle hit until Kelly made a backhanded stab for the third out. ‘The Cubs got their first run in the fourth. Cuyler doubled to right, went to third as Wilson was thrown out and scored on Dan Taylor's long sacrifice fly to Ott. They tied it up in the sixth when Blair was hit and went to third on Cuyler's single and counted on a sacrifice fly to Wilson. English worked Hubbell for a walk in the eighth and Cuyler followed up with his second double, a hard smack to left field. English was held at third, and both runners scored on Wilson's slash past Critz. Kelly doubled, but Wilson was held at third and Joe Hev- ing, who replaced Hubbell after Kelly's double, forced Hartnett to roll out to end the inning. * Giants Get Nine Hits. The Giants didn't die without one more effort. Hogan batted for Critz, and grounded out. But Malone lost control and walked Leach and Lind- strom. English then made his last ges- ture. Terry belted one toward second, but English hustled over in front of the base, snared the ball and touched Lind- strom out. Ott filed to Cuyler for the finish. Malone gave nine hits, two at a time, in three different inmm and fanned four. He also helped himself to trou- ble by walking five. hits, struck out six and walked only one. Top_hitting honors were divided by ting three. Cuyler got two doubles and a single, while Terry did his league 00 | leading batting average no harm with Runs—Miller (2). Runs Miiler. n ander.

Yankees Farm $100,000 Player After Purchase SAN FRANCISCO, August 23 (@) —Prank Crosetti, 19-year-old shortstop sensation of the San Francisco Seals, was sold today to the New York Yankees in a cash- | player deal understood to involve around $100,000. ‘The youngster will report to the American League club for the 1932 season. His new owners decided to farm him out to the Seals next year. The Seal management declined to make public the financial considera- tion but said the club would re- ceive a large amount of cash, plus three players. Crosetti, a San PFrancisco youth of Itallan parentage, was picked up from the local sandlot two years ago. A right-handed batter, he hit around .280 in his first year in the Pacific Coast League and in 1929 he ended the season with a mark of .314. His average to date this year is around .320.

CHAMPIONS DEFEAT TWO CAPITAL PAIRS Win From Yeomans-Markey in Final After Eliminating Considine-Mitchell. BY E. A. FULLER, Jr. ISPLAYING general superi- ority, George J. Jennings, jr., of Chicago, and Jack D De Lara of Los Angeles, seeded first, yesterday swept to the men’s doubles championship in the national public parks tournament, triumphing over Thomas (Bud) Markey and Ed- die Yeomans, District parks title holders, in straight sets before a sizeable crowd on the Rock Creek courts. The scores were 6—3, 7—5, 6—4. ‘This year marks the fourth time that Jennings has been a member of the championship doubles team. Last year he paired with Considine to gain the crown. Harder driving was the chief char- acteristic of the Jennings-De Lara tri- umph. Markey, who represented his native city, Indianapolis, in the tourna- ment, and Yeomans time and again pushed across soft lobs only to have them returned with a speed that vir- tually tied the home-town boys in knots as they tried futilely to get them back ACToss. Yeomans Off Game. Play of Markey was of high order and in the opinion of some observers his work was best of the four players. ‘Yeomans was off his game and, though he played well at times, his numerous errors told. Markey lost his service just once throughout the match, while Yeo- mans ped his four times. De Lara showed strongly at service, losing just once, in the eighth game of the third se t. With defeat looming, Markey and Yeomans rallied gallantly in the closing stages of the third set. Trailing two games to five and with competition at match point De Lara double faulted to make it deuce. Then the Washing- tonians took the next two points the game and went on to take the ninth game at love on Markey's service. Jennings and De Lara, however, came back to capture the tenth game at love and annex the match and title. To gain the final Jennings and De Lara brushed aside earlier in the day Bob Considine, District singles cham- pion, and Dooly Mitchell, ‘Washington parks title holder, in s keenly fought five-set encounter. The scores were , 0—6, 5—1, 9—7, 6-—4. Markey and Yeomans reached the final round through victory over Arnold Simons of Louisville and Edward Nowak of Buffalo, 7—5, 6—1, 9—7. Prior to downing Simons and Nowak, the Markey-Yeomans combination ~gained the deciding set of a quarter-final match halted by darkness Friday, over- coming Jack Castle and Leo J. Kroman, 2 | both of Buffalo. The count in the final set was 6—3, the counts in Friday’s ® | matches having been 5—7, 6—4, 5—17, 3. 6—3. In both their quarter-final and semi- 7.2 | final matches Markey and Yeomans ex- hibited admirable team play, their ex- hibitions at the net being particularly good. Stage Hot Battle. Until the late stages of the fourth set the battle between Jennings and De Lara and Considine and Mitchell was red hot, with little to choose between the combinations. The 9—7 victory scored in that set by the visitors, how- ever, seemed to sap the stamina of the Washingtonians, and though they fiercely contested every step of the re- mainder of the match they could not get going again consistently. Jennings’ court covering was impres- sive, with his exhibition at the net es- pecially spectacular, as it has been since the start of the tournament. De Lara played well in the latter stages after a mediocre start. Mitchell's work was decidedly superior to Considine's. The latter’s tendency to net cost a sub- stantial number of points. Play in the parks event will end to- day with the singles final between Jen- nings and Mitchell on the Rock Creek courts. Competition will start at 2:30 o'clock. Jennings will be striving for his third straight title. He is favored to take Mitchell, being figured the more versatile player, but if the Georgetown student is able to keep away from the net the former may come through. A big crowd is expected to turn out for 11, | the struggle. Point scores in the final: FIRST SET. Jennings-De Lara.. Markey-Yeomans . SECOND SET.
