Nationals Split Twin Bill With Indians. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, September 18.— Following their set-to with the Indians here today the Nationals will jump to De- $roit for their final series in the West this year. Three games are tb be played with the Tigers and the Johnson band expects to have another annual interclub set in hand before the tussling at Navin Field ends. It now has the De: troit outfit beaten 11 games to 8 and needs but 1 more to give it the edge over the Detroits for the year. or the opener of the set tomorrow either Al Crowder, who took & beating in Chicago last Sunday although he pitched & splendid game, or Lioyd Brown, left hander who was driven from the slab yesterday by the Indians, may ascend the mound for the Na- tionals, With fourth place seemingly beyond - the Tigers' grasp, Manager Stanley Harris will be likely to order 0 the firing line during the tilting with the Nationals some of the rookie hurl- ers he has been collecting the past two weeks, FTER today's game Capt. Joe Judge will be in charge of the Nationals until the last game of the cam- aign. Manager Walter Johnson is to feave Cleveland tonight for his Mary- land homg and will not rejoin_his club until it encounters the Athletics in Washington on Sunday, September 28. Ossie Bluege, regular third sacker of the Washington club, will accompany the manager East. ‘While Bluege's finger that was injured in a St. Louis game not $o long ago is healing nicely, Manager Johnson sees no reason to| have the veteran in action again this season. It is likely Ray Treadway, re- | cruit from Chattanooga, who played at €hird in the double-header here yester- v, will continue in the position in the few engagements remaining on the Na- GARNERA RETAINS CLEAN K. 0.

He was plainly nerv- | ous in his big league debut in the| Houble-header against the Indians and did not perform smoothly all the way afield nor show much power at bat fnost of the time. However, Treadway managed to cuff down two or three drives that might have been particu- | larly troublesome had they gone by him and in the Nationals’ winning rally in the sixth inning of the second game he put plenty force in his only hit of the day, a double that scored a runner from first base.

HICAGO, September 18.—Primo Carnera has finished his con- quest among American heavy- weights with an average of 1,000 and an extremely healthy bank roll. The Itallan monster last night nomi-* nated and elected Jack Gross, a Jewish heavy from Philadelphia, as knockout victim number 23, accéomplishing the business in less than four rounds. Car- nera’s board of managers said the bout was his last in America, and that he would sail for Italy Oetober 11. About the only difference ,between Gross and Carnera’s other opponents was that the Philadelphian did his fighting left-handed. He tried hard, but, outweighed 67 pounds and appear- ing almost puny compared to the bulky Italian, he didn't have a chance. Car- nera mauled and slugged him about the ring, working methodically until the fourth, when he turned loose a crushing right that dropped Gross for nine counts. Gross got up, but another nudge on the jaw by the hamlike fist | felled him for keeps. The crowd was not all that was ex- | will not depart with the club when it eads for Detroit. He will visit his| family here for a_few days, then pro- | g-:fl to Kansas City, where he is to| e married next month. | Very likely Art Shires will do most ‘ot the first-basing after today’s tussle. | ' AM JONES, although his arm is in | poor condition, wants one more shot at pitching before the season ends. He may get it during the series | with the Tigers. If he starts in De- troit Jones probably will not accompany Rthe Nationals East for their last five gomes. but will proceed to his home in yoodsfield, Ohio, It isn’t likely that Fred Marberry Mill do any more hurling this season kfter his weak showing as a relief work- #r against the Indians yesterday in the first game. Pred showed no fast one and had nothing else with which to bafMe the batters. He had admitted that the wrist which was broken in WNew York early in August still pains him and prevents him giving his” best %o his club. This weak wrist may mean that Mar- berry will have to forego the Cuban | ‘barnstorming trip with the Nationals | next month. He had been slated as | ©one of the four hurlers to accompany | Capt. Judge's club, but it js believed | by ose in charge of the Nationals he | should give up base ball until next Spring. | o | PLITTING yesterday's twin bill the | Nationals kept themselves math- ematically in the flag race and jnade sure they can only be tied by the Yankees for second place. One more Swin for the Johnson band or one more defeat for the Shawkey crew and the paitle for the runner-up position ends. Thanks to Earl Averill, the Indians bagged the first game, 13 to 7, and after the Nationals had amassed a six-run fead. After striking out the first time @&t bat, Averill proceeded to slam three homers over the garden wall back of right center. The first was made in the third inning when the bases were full, the second in the fifth inning with one on and the third in the sixth inning with one on With his hard clouting Averill tied two records, equaling the modern major league mark of three homers in & single contest and the American League mark of eight runs driven over by one player in a game. ‘The first two homers were gleaned off Arving Hadley during rallies that swept ®side the six-run lead the Nationals had earned off Clint Brown and Wal- ter Miller in the third inning. In the sixth the Nationals managed to put across & tying marker then Fred Mar- berry was hit for two three-run in- nings by the Indians among the hits being Averill's third homer. Hadley ylelded 9 of the Indians' 17 hits, Each Indian hurler yielded 7 safeties. Cronin hit safely 4 times in a row after popping out the first { trip to the plate. Marberry's defeat was his fifth of the season and ended p winning streak of 11 games. ERILL still was in a home-run hitting mood when he faced Lloyd Brown in the opening inning of |2 the second game and smote the ball over the fence for his fourth round- tripper of the day. This helped the Indians to get away under a four- yun lead, but Ad Liska replaced Brown in the second inning all Earl got dur- ing the remainder of the game was & flnuble,v‘x Liska was credited with & 6-10-4 Ty, Willis Hudlin faced the Nationals at pected in numbers, the attendance be. ing estimated at about 10,000, with re- | ceipts of approximately $35,000. | Carnera’s victory was not popular | with the customers, who cheered up- roariously every time Gross landed a blow—and he accomplished that feat several times—and booed and jeered | Primo throughout the fight. Referee Ed Purdy warned Carnera for back- hand hitting and for placing his fore- arm under Gross’ chin, lifting it jolting- ly. Gross believed he was able to con- tinue, not realizing he had been counted | out. As Carnera approached him to shake hands, the loser made a pass at the giant’s head, and refused for sev- eral seconds to shade hands. In the 10-round semi-final Dick Dan- lels of Minneapolis slugged out a de- cision victory over Al Fay of Pitts- burgh, Jack Kearns’ heavyweight pro- tege. Praecipe of an action intended to tie up part of Primo’s receipts for the eve- ning was filed by an sttorney for George A. Biemer, Fort Wayne, Ind., fight pro- moter. Biemer claims the Italian owes him $3,700 for failure to appear in a bout scheduled for the first week in the outset of the nightcap and was | 3 s'mnw five innings, giving up_ but one over that stretch. He blew in the sixth, though, when he was combed for four of the seven safeties the Nationals collected during pastiming and they were good for five | runs. After that Pete Jablonowski and | Milburn Shoffger checked the attack. The Indians got three hits off Brown the second. Liska allowed but four hits the remainder of the route. How- ever, only a great catch by Manush in the eighth saved the game for the Johnson band, Liske was wild in this round, and with two walks after two were out the Indians had the bases full. Hodapp shot a liner toward left center only to have Manush cut across, | grab the ball at arms’ length as he | fell, roll over on | up with a clean catch. | i American League. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.

BY TOM HORGAN, | Associated Press Staff Writer, EWPORT, R. I, September 18.—A very irksome knot in the British lion’s tail | | was a bit tighter today. | | Shamrock V, Sir Thomas Lip-| | ton’s challenger for the America’s | | Cup, was three down to Enter- | prise, Harold S. Vanderbilt's de»\l fender. | | The three races already sailed | in the cup series have all gone to | the defender, and if Enterprise | should win today the cup is llkely| | to remain in America forever, un- | less the terms of competition are | changed. The defender scored a clean-cut vic- tory Saturday and Monday. Yesterday Shamrock V was forced out of the third race, soon after it started, when her main halyard parted and Enterprise continued on over the course, fulfilling terms of competition and scoring her third straight victory. In order to attain the virtual impos- sible and lift the cup Shamrock would have to take four straight races, and no | one, not even Shamrock's crew, believe Harold Vanderbilt and Enterprise is likely to lose that many sailing con- | tests against the green sloop. Lipton’s Fifth Attempt. Sir Thomas, the 80-year Irish sports- man, is making his fifth attempt in 30 years to untangle the snag tied in the Lion’s tail back in 1851. It was in that | year that the schooner yacht America whipped a fleet of Britain's fastest yachts in a race around the Isle of ‘Wight and brought to this country a trophy that has since borne her name and represented international yachting supremacy. It is the fourteenth attempt made by British and Canadian yachts- men to lift the famous trophy. There were some among the specta- tors of yesterday's race who thought if would be declared no contest when Shamrock was disabled. But they were little acquainted with yachting custom or the rules governing yacht races. A yacht race is just as much a test of the strength and sta- bility of & boat as the crew sailing her. Obviously Vanderbilt had no reason for dropping out of the race because Sham- ruosck was unable to continue the con- t. This point can be more firmly as- serted when it is considered that one of the adverse criticisms voiced against the terms of competition has been that Shamrock, a cruising boat, is forced to meet a boat which has been, rightly o;!wmnzly. described as a racing ma- chine. Yesterday it was the cruising boat that cracked under a 15-mile breeze, and not the racing machine. Beaufort's scale, the time-honored measure of winds, lists a 15-mile breeze as “mod- erate.” Shamrock Off Well. Shamrock had gone over the start- ing line in a commanding position be- tween the wind and Enterprise, but she had not held that advantage. When | the wire halyard parted and let down | her mainsail she already had yielded | the windward position to the defender | and Enterprise was steadily gaining. | . Shamrock’s crew gave a fine zxglbl- | tion of seamanship while she remained |in the race, but it was never more | closely demonstrated that Enterprise is | the better boat. Her crew had already HIT IN PINCH AGAIN UPSETS THE ROBINS Hack Wilson Gets Two Homers and Sets Record for Batting in Runs. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. HERE isn't very much to I Andy High as ball players go—only 5', feet of him— but today he can wear the biggest hero’s garland St. Louis has to offer. Andy does not even rate as a regular on the Cardinals this season, yet he is the one who has given them two successive triumphs over their rival Brook- lyn Robins and a clear hold on first place. On Tuesday Andy went into the game as pinch hitter in the tenth inning and cracked out a double that led to the game’s only run and a virtual tie with the Robins. Yesterday High hit a dou- ble in the ninth and brought a 5-to-3 triumph for the Cards and:a full game margin. He hit with the score tied and two men on base.

Al Grabowski, who got credit for the victory, and Jim Lindsey did well in relief roles, and Chief Hafey's home run in the fourth also was a potent factor in the victory of the Cards. A Record for Wilson. Hack Wilson clouted a pair of home runs on his first two times at bat against the Gilants and sent the Cubs off to an easy triumph. The homers, both off Jim Chaplin's delivery, gave Wilson a total of 52 for the season and produced a new major league rec- ord for batting in runs, as he brought his total to 176. The former mark was 175 for a season, made by Lou Gehrig in 1927. Cincinnati broke its losing streak by defeating the Boston Braves, 6 to 4, behind Red Lucas’ pitching in the sec. ond game of a double-header, after it had run to 13 straight through Boston's 6-to-3 triumph in the first clash, and Pittsburgh's Pirates slammed out 12 runs in two innings to defeat Philadel- phia, 12 to 5. ‘The formality of ending the Ameri- can League pennant race was delayed for a day or two as the Philadelphia Athletics went down before Red Faber's six-hit pitching and lost a 4-to-2 de- cision to the Chicago White Sox, while Washington rallled after a bad first game and won the second from Cleve- land, 6 to 4. ‘The other American League teams took their games more or less lightly, devoting most of their time to attempt- ing to fatten their batting averages.
