Pet. GBL. ToPlay into third place, of the idle Giants of the Cards. Ray Moss' pitching performance in the opening encounter was the high spot of the two games. He held the usually slugging Phillles to four hits, three of which were singles by Rensa and the fourth home run by Hurst The circuit clout was offset, howeve: by similar hits off the bats of Blsson- | ette and Frederick. A five-run l’llly; in the fifth, during which Hansen was sent to the showers and Phillips was | treated almost as rough, spelled victory | for the Robins. The second battle was a elose contest | until the seventh, when the Robins again let loose with their big guns, scor- ing six runs and driving Willoughby from the mound. Meanwhile Jumbo Elliott was breezing along, but he, wo,‘ weakened in the same frame and Hollis Thurston was sent to the rescue after the Phillles had counted twice. STAGG IS HIT QUICKLY.

To give due credit to Walter Johnison’s bdttlers, it must be have for many weeks trayeled at a pace stamping them -as of cham- jonship caliber, the only rouble with the whole situa- tion being that they have suf- fered from a notable lack of co-operation on the part of the Athletics, who have displayed no sympathy at all for the as- initlum of the Washing- ans. Cousmm August, for in- stance. From August 2 through Septembeér 1 the Na- tionals turned in 23 victories and suffered only 9 defeats for a percentage of .719, a flag- winning pace beyond question. Over the same stretch the Athletics grabbed 19 victories and dropped 11, a .633 rate. In other words, the Griffs boosted their figures just 30 points and the Mackmen dropped 6. Continued indefinitely, a comparable relative gait event- ually would enable Washington to overhaul Philadelphia, but the hard fact of the matter is that the season now has only three weeks;to run, and the local deficit is such that the A’s can do no better than about split even and still repeat unless the Griffs stage a spurt of unprecedented . proportions. ALTHOUGH they displayed nothing in their two pre- vious visits to the West to indi- cate it, contriving merely to win as often as they lost, the Nationals may set off some fireworks in their final swing through the Sunset sector which will be inaugurated at St. Louis today. It is conceliv- able they might make a clean sweep against the Browns, White Sox, Indians and Tigers, and then return East to mop up the four games scheduled for them &t Boston. In this event, with the Macks playing only 50-50 ball, their reign as champions could be ended and the Capital could indulge in an orgy of celebra- tion over the third pennant in its history. But, and this brings us down to earth again, what reason is there, barring an athlete- maiming train wreck, to imag- ine the A’s cannot win any oftener than every other day during thgrest of the route? ONSIDER, for instance, what has happened since Labor day. The A’s present percen- tage of .669 shows they have Plcked up 5 of the points they ost during the month imme- diately preceding the holiday, while the Nationals’ average of 625 discloses the fact they have dropped 1 of the 30 points they gained. And these figures in- clude the benefit which accrued to Johnson’s men from that Sabbath thriller they. nosed the s out of. Regardless of whether Wash- ington’s slim chance for the title ever becomes more than just that, however, the local club already can feel whatever satisfaction may be found in the fact that they are assured of no worse than an even split on the season with any of their rivals save one, St. Louis. They already have left the Yankees and Red Sox far in the rear and chiseled the requisite 11 wins from the Mackmen, Indians, Tigers and White Sox. But to finish on a par with Killefer's men they will have to take two of the three games listed at the Mound City starting this after- noon, and beating the Browns never has been a soft assign- ment for the Griffmen. ASKS RECEIVERSHIP FOR SEATTLE CLUB | Stockholder in Coast Loop Team Asserts Officers Are Drawing Exorbitant Salaries. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, September 9.—Suit asking a receivership for the Seattle Pacific Coast, League Base Ball Club filed by George C. Newell, a stockholder, has brought forth statements indicating dis- cord among officers of the club. Newell's petition, alleging the club’s insolvency, charged officers with draw- ing exorbitant salaries, listing those of President Willlam H. Klepper, $10,000 a year; Secretary Fred Rivers, $5,000, and Concession Manager W. V. Klepper, $3,000. The petition sald the team's expenses have exceeded its income for three years. President Klepper branded Newell's action as a move to force him to sell, and announced he, John Savage and George Vanderveer, bought stock held by Dr. E. V. Morrow, vice president, giv- ing them $450,000 of the club's $500,000 stock. Dr. Morrow, denying he had sold his stock, sald Klepper had an option to but it only. The vice president said he was sur- prised “there are not many more dis- gruntled stockholders like Newell.” Listed among the club’s outstanding obligations are a $10,000 note held by the Detroit Base Ball Club and a debt of $8,683.83 owed the Detroit club from last season.

Squad of 25 OQut. rienced players are at hand, Devitt School is by no means pessimistic as to the outlook for a successful foot ball season. The school's squad, numbering 25, reporied yesterday for the first time on..fhe Devitt field. . Capt. Oliver (Bits) Schriver, ‘half- back; Charley Rose, guard, and Willard White, center, are the three seasoned performers available. Cr~sh Jim Me- Namara will not have = _.d line on the remainder of hi~ . until they have been out & few ., but it appears that he has a big job to develop an eleven comparable with the strong team that carried Devitt's colors last year. Devitt lost just one game in eight in 1928, bowing to Mercersburg, Pa.,, Academy, 0 to 12, in the season’s opener. It fought Georgetown University freshmen to a scoreless tie and Newport Naws, Va.,, High to a 7-7 deadlock. Victories were registered over Eastern, Washing- ton-Lee High, Mount St. Mary's Prep, Central and 8. Crack members of last season's team who have been lost include Francis Knott, who was captain; Tom Keefe, Francis Bernard and Milton Abzamson, backs; Paul Tangora, Melvin Viner, guards; Kaspar Beezley, Rufus Vincent, tackles, and Glenn Suddarth and Jim McAleer, ends. While Devitt may not have so strong a team as a year ago, it will play an- other hard schedule. Nine games are planned, McNamara's eleven will open the campaign October 4, though it has not yet booked an opponent for the | date.” The following Saturday the Devitt | huskies will invade the Old Dominion |for a clash with Newport News High at Newport News. Then will follow games here with the freshmen elevens of Catholic University, George Washing- ton and Georgetown in that order. For November 8 Devitt has carded & game here with Jamaica, N. Y. High School. It will be the first time a Jamaica eleven has ever come here, and the intersectional battle is one of the brightest features of the schoolby grid season hereabout. No opponent has yet been listed for November 15. Me- Namara's warriors will go to Princeton, N. J., November 22, to engage Hun Prep School's eleven and will wind up their campaign Thanksgiving Day, No- vember 27, with a team to be an- nounced. | ESPITE that only three expe- | CHISOX BUY CATCHER Obtain Grube, Who Is Hitting .350 for Buffalo Club.

TILDEN'S TITLE BID BEING MADE EASIER Elimination of Borotra Ri-| valed by Lott’s Defeat by Veteran Williams. BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer, EW YORK, September 9.— Favorites today were won- dering who was going to be next to be defeated in the national tennis singles tour- nament. Perhaps even more surprising than the downfall of Jean Boro- tra before the onslaught of Berke- ley Bell, on Saturday, was the exit of George Lott in the second round yesterday. Lott met his Waterloo in his first match of the tournament after drawing a first- round bye and his Wellington was that seasoned campaigner, Rich- ard N. Williams, 2d. ‘Willilams, winner of the title in 1914 and 1916 and now 39 years of age, had enough of his old cunning and sharp-shooting abllity left to take ad- vantage of one of Lott's temperamental lapses and win, 7—9, 7—5, 7—5, 6—1. Bill Tilden, whose campaign for his eighth national title grows smoother and smoother with the elimination of his foremost adversaries, seemed fairly proof against a surprise defeat today as he was drawn against Ed Feibleman of New York. Young Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena figured to need all his steadiness of stroking against Lyttleton Rogers of Ireland, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall and the loftiest tennis player in the world. Johnny Van Ryn was heavily fa- vored today over Keith Gledhill. Willlams today op no__more formidable an antagonist than Harold Blauer of New York and Johnny Doeg drew Lieut. R. M. Watt, jr., U. 8. N. Among the other matches were: Wilmer Allison, Austin, Tex., vs. Dick Murphy, Utica, N, Y.; Gregory Mangin, Newark, N. J., vs. John Hennessey, In- dianapolis; John OIlliff, England, vs. Keith Werner, Los Angeles; Sidney Wood, New York, vs. Wilbur F. Coen, jr, Kansas City; Bryan Grant, Atlanta, vs. Samuel Gilpin, Philadelphia; Olif- ford Sutter, New Orleans, vs. H L. Bowman, New York, and Berkeley Bell vs. Richard Lewis, New York. OLD LINERS STILL | SEEKING A CENTER Faber, Wilson and Stieber Striving for Job—C. U. Squad Hustling. U its foot ball team to replace George Madigan, who Wwas graduated, is being continued ener- getically, Plugging this gap is the big- gest_problem faced by Head Coach H. C. (Curly) Byrd and his assistants. Those in the running right now for the job are Parker Faber, reserve var- sity center last season; Bob Wilson, who was putting up a fight for a guard job on the varsity in 1929 until h’&'.:& up the grid game to unde: a der operation, and Fred leber, reserve back on the varsity a campaign ago. Faber and Wilson are former Wash- ington high school athletes, the former having attended Eastern and the latter Western, Stieber is a product of Tow- son, Md., High School. He did not lay the grid game before entering the Old Line school. Catholic University’s squad, which is being hustled along by its new head wu?l and athletic director, Dutch Bergman, has been strengthened by the addifion of Fats Vezzozzi, 220-pound ard or tackle; Felix Farris, end; ohnny McGarry, tackle; Bryan Con- roy, halfback, and Tom Callahan, tackle.

Charest Scores In First Match Over 50 Gridmen Out at Eastern Eastern High foot ball candidates were to get in their second day’s drill this afternoon in the Lincoln Park School's Stadilum. More than 50 aspirants yesterday reported to Coach Mike Kelley for the first prac- tice. Kelly expects a score or more to join the squad before the week is out. . Conditioning work and drills in the fundamentals will constitute the routine for the Light Blue this week. Eastern has lost a raft of experi- enced material, but Kelley is by no means discouraged over the outlook. BETTER TEAM DUE AT LANDON SCHOOL Has Nucleus for Eleven in Its Second Season in Grid Pastime. v v of 1929 dependables, Landon School is confident of having a decidedly stronger foot ball team this Fall than last season, when the insti- tution was represented on the gridiron for the first time. A coach will be picked in a few days, after which prac- tice will be started and a schedule ar- ranged. Gordon Kessler, who coached the Landon eleven last season, is now at Emerson. Outstanding among the new gridders are three who are not only six-footers and heavy, but are seasoned. They are Alfred Seccombe, halfback and cap- tain of the Exeter, Mass, Academy eleven in 1928, who weighs 175 pounds; Bob Riley, 190-pound tackle of the 1929 Shenandoah Valley Academy team of ‘Winchester, Va., and Harrison Prindle, former lineman of St. James' School, Hagerstown, Md., who scales 175. Other promising boys who have en- rolled at Landon for the first time are ITH several husky newcomers available, along with a group ury, ., who formerly attended Woodberry For- est School, Orange, Va. Neither are seasoned pigskinners but both are six- footers. Leading members of last Fall's team who will again be at hand include Capt. Gordon Boucher, tackle; Bill | Baker, quarterback; Bill Quinn, fleet halfback; Jimmy Sands and Barry Haprx':’er. ends, and ‘Hopkins, guard. Notable players who have been lost are Bud Hitcheock, center, who gone to St. John's College, Annapolis; Eddie Talbert, guard, who has entered Columbia University; Charley Hill, tackle, and Smith, a back, who has en- tered the Naval Academy. MILLS SEES FAULTS IN WORK OF HOYAS | Will Continue to Give Them Two Sessions Each Day—Bandzul, Center, Is Injured. POINT LOOKOUT, Md. September 9.—Not al ther pleased ith the from-eu of the Georgetown University foot ball squad in training here, Head Coach Tommy Mills plans to keep the Hoyas going at top speed. Two practice sessions daily will be the routine until further notice, includ- ing one offensive practice. A blow was dealt the Blue and Gray yesterday when Joe Bandzul, center, re- ceived a badly wrenched knee. The fact that Charley McManus, another center, has left camp because of a death in his family makes the situation worse, leaving Capt. Bill Morris to do all the work at the snapper-back post until others can be trained. Bandzul was hurst yesterday in the first line scrim- mage of the camp. Four others suffered minor injuries as the result of the scrimmage. They are Maurice Dubof- sky and Bill Slezak, tackles, and Johnny Scalzi and Mancell Gillis, backs. INSECTS SEEK RIVAILS.

GUINESS' POSITION - MAY G0 TO GEORGE | Americans to Stand Pat for Second and What May Be | Final Match Tomorrow. ESTBURY, N. Y., Septem- ber 9 (#).—Great Brit~ ain’s decisive defeat in the first match of the series for the international polo cup may lead to a shift in the challengers’ forces for the second, and perhaps deciding game to- MOTTOW. Rumors had it that Capt. Rich- lard George would ride at No. 1 |for the Britons tomorrow, with Gerald Balding returning to No. 2, Lewis L. Lacey to back and Capt. C. T. I. Roark retaining the No. 3 The British four as it lined up on Saturday had Balding at No. 1, Lacey at No. 2, Roark at No. 3 and Lieut. Humphrey Guinness at back. Under the terms of the reported shift Guinness, an, emergency appointee anyhow, would lose his place. Capt. George was the first-string No. 1 for the invaders before they left England, but illness handicapped him after he reached this country and he never showed the form he had re- vealed in practice matches on his na- tive turf. As for the United States, it was con- sidered a virtual certainty that the same line-up would be called upon for the second game as trounced the Brit- ish in the opening match, 10—5. If so, the Americans will ride out with Eric Pedley of California, high scorer of the first game, at No. 1; Earle A. 8. Hopping, No, 2; Tommy Hijchcock, No. 3, and Kinston Guest, back. o GRID TOIL §S BEGUN BY SANDLOT SQUADS Colorful Campaign Is in Prospect.

Of Best Ever HE Pullman club, which yester- day won its third straight city series flag and its twenty-ninth straight victory, mow can go down as one of the strongest teams in local sandlot history. It was just a case to too much Col- to | liflower for the Calvary Drakes, who, despite losing by the score of 13 to 1, put up a game, SCrappy fight all the way. Collifiower allowed only four hits, one an infleld bingle, in his triumph, while he also lead the hitters with a & single, double and triple. ‘The Sl rs, who boast one of the hardest-hitting line-ups in this vicinity, have enjoyed a great season. ‘They swept through the Terminal League, the strongest of the week-day circuits, los- ong only one game in the first half and going undefeated in the second. Four straight in the city series, and as the French A. C. also have had more than fair success. Ray Davidson, who up until had the best pitching play-off, had nothing to fool the champs after second inning, being pounded fo: 12 hits before giving way to “Bozmie” Berger in the ninth inning. ';%:e Geol ywn Church _Leaguers glucklly fought back at the Pullmans, ut, bereft of several of their stars and a few tough breaks, were kept from scoring in the early frames. Despite this overwhelming defeat, it is something of a feather in the caps of the Drakes, for it marked the most successful cam) enjoyed by a Church League in the series. As a general rule, the series ran true to form. Pullman was generally con- ceded the title by the led experts, esterday in the Champion Pullman Nine Is One Developed Here ‘The big surprise, however, was the downfall of Naval Hospital, winner of the Government League and runner-up to Pullman last year. The Gobs failed completely against District of Columbia Repair and the Tile Setters, being the second team to be eliminated. The unfortunate death of Mickey Kelliher is quite a blow to the St. Mary’s Celtics. After starting the season strongly, the Celtics faltered in midsea- son, but when the former Pittsburgh and Cincinnati player took over the reins the Alexandria club began to hit its stride again. Kelliher was a most successful pilot in the Blue Ridge League. In 1927 he piloted Chambersburg to a champion- ship, and the following year Martins- bln'ltwpp!d the flag under his manage- ment. So popular was the “double-knockout™ system in the city series that m ers of the Capital City League winners last night decided to use the same system in determining the champion. Two defeats and out. ‘The Takoma Tigers and Dixie Pigs, winners of the Montgomery County and , Prince Georges County League, respec- tively, clash at 3 o'clock at Byrd Stadium, at the University of Maryland, and the Anacostia Eagles, District champs, meet Bauserman Motor Co,, Northern Vir- ginia standard bearers, at Congress Heights at the same time. the strength of their showings to | date, sandlot prognosticaiors are in- clined to lean toward the Dixie Pigs. ‘The Barbecue Club, practically the same team as Pullman, won. over Mount Rainier in a play-off o gain the Prince Georges County title. “pljm'l how the week-day series ended
