g Hadley Displays Promise of Comeback : East Humbles STUFF IN PRACTICE PLEASES JOHNSON Griff Pilot Hopes Flinger Will | Gain Confidence—Tribe Walloped. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, Ohio, May 14.] —Irving Hadley, chunky | right-hand pitcher, who| hasn't started a game for| the Nationals since May 5, when | § he took a licking in New York,| will open fire in a contest again| before his club finishes this West- | ern invasion, says Manager Wal—‘ ter Johnson, provided he contin- | ues for several days to show in| workouts the fast ones and hooks | he has been flashing lately. Withdrawn from tne reguiar - turn mound stafl after his poor showing in| New York, Hadley was ordered to prac- | tice daily that he might perfect his itching to the extent he would be use- | 1 once more as a starter. In the| meanwhile Manager Johnson planned to | employ him only occasionally in relief | roles. Hadley has toiled faithfully and last Sunday against the Tigers in De- troit gave a good account of himself in his two innings. | Then he pitched the seventh and eighth innings of a nip-and-tuck game, and while the Tigers scored once at his expense, he yielded but one hit, a bunted single, and retired in order the last five batters to face him. The run off him was due to faulty support rather than any pitching weakness. His fast one had plenty of smoke and his curve broke sharply. With Al Crowder still an uncertain quantity, Johnson is more than eager | to have Hadley round into effective | form_ quickly. For several seasons Had- | ley has revealed enough to make a winning pitcher so far as natural abil- | ity is concerned. But always he has| lacked confidence in himself. Manager | Johnson, however, has an idea that once Hedley becomes selfconfident he | will be one of the hardest in the league | to _beat. | Hadley pitched a great game against | Athletics the second day of the| season, holding the world champions | to four hits. Then it was believed he | was ready for a big year. After that, | though, in three starts he failed. Rath- | er than so discourage the chunky pitch- er.he might be of slight worth to his | club for some time, Johnson decided to Strokes better Uft him from the regular-turn staff. i But with Had.ey snowing so much in his workouts and doing such a,good turn of relief pitching against tae Tigers, the Nationals’ manager has con- | cluded the hefiy righthander is about due another chance as a starter. And | if Hadley after getting back on the | regular staff should bag two or three | wins in a row, Johnson believes the | pitcher would be difficult to overcome the remainder of the campaign. 1f Hadley ke>ps on as he has been going in practice recently, Johnson soon experiment with him again. 'OMORROW the Nationals are slated to open a four-game series with the Browns in St. Louis which ought to be pleasant for the Nationals, consider- the Browns are floundering at the bottom of the league. But there never has been anything pleasant for the Nationals in their visits to St. Louis, so Johnson and his men ‘are not counting their chickens before they ar hatched. Last year the Browns were nothing to brag about and finished a poor sixth in | the American League race, yet were the | only lot to take a series from the Na- tionals, who wound-up their campaign- ing in second position. The Browns in 1930 trounced the Nationals, 12 games 10 10. You can't figure base ball, espe- cially when it comes to a series in St.| Louis between the Browns and any | club wearing the Washington livery. The Browns on their record are not 0 this season. but they still have Walter Stewart with them.. And that left-hand pitcher is enough to make the Nationals pause and think. Pive times last year the Johnson band attempted to lick Stewart, but got nowhere, The southpaw turned them back three times in Washington and twice on his own | lot in Sportsmen's Park. Sometiing | ought to be done about it and the Na- | tionals, hops to do something this| season. In the St. Louis series Johnson has said he will look to Fischer, Crowder, | Marberry and Brown to start the games | on the hill. In all likelihood he will open tomorrow with Pischer. This left- | hander appeared to advantage against| the Tigers in Detroit last Monday. Fischer puts plenty on the ball, but his | control often is off because he works oo fast. At times it seems Carl hardly has the ball back from the catcher be- | fore he cuts loose with a pitch. Coach Gharity, who handles the recruit hurl- | | ers, and the catchers are looking after Fischer in this matter, and he soon may be pitching with more ease and finesse. Whether the four games in St. Louls will be played in three or four days 1sn't known yet by the Nationals. Be- cause Monday crowds and, in fact, other week day crowds, have been slim at American League games in Sportsmen’s Park the Browns are permitted to move up Monday home games to make Sun- | day double-headers. They may do this | while the Nationals are their guests. CCOMPLISHING two things un- usual for them, the Nationals yes- terday vanquished the Indians| easily, in the belated opener of the series here. The score was 9 to 3, and the Tribe was outclassed by the Johnson band more than the score indicates. One strange accomplishment of the Nationals was the early establichment of a comforteble lead for their star Jeft-hancer, Lioyd Brown. Since the start of the season until vesterday the Washington club only once had given Brown a good send-off. That was in | the Boston game in Griffith Stadium on April 19. At other times the left- hancer was permitted to waste a lot | of excellent pitching because his club was helpless at bat. With the early advantage over the Indians handed him, however, Brown simply breezed to vic- | ‘The other strange accomplishment was the routing of Wesley Ferrell, the right-hand slab ace of the league. For two seasons Ferrell had waved his magic wand over the Nationals with dire re- sults to them. Nary a licking could they hand him in his four turns against | them. He beat them once in Washing- | ton and three times in Cleveland. In yesterday's game he was hammered from the start and after being hit by the first three batte:s to face him in the fourth frame Ferre!l voluntarily re- tired, a well beaten pitcher. Bagking Brown well and pounding ell soundly, the Nsationals at the end of the game found themselves lifted to third place in the standing, Xoyflflmu'meowbyflw | Bean. p *Seeds . ] [P ol cooronommmntl 8l ummmspuacl LY | svronsarmnond ¥l os vaswwsd | soco00000mrnT ol noormrowns | morrwsssnnssdd ol so0ss5550000M »| sonssscss 5! cocouncuuono? el nonmosoma?

SMITH IN A TIE FOR BRITISH LEAD Has 146 to Match Argentine Player in Second Round at Southport. By the Associated Press. OUTHPORT, England, May 14— Horton Smith from Missouri and Marco Churio from the Argen- tine, today tied for first place with only & few more to finish in the second round of the $7,500 Southport professional golf tournament with 36- | hole totals of 146. Joe Kirkwood, American trick-shot | artist, took an 80 today after a fine| 72 yesterday for a 36-hole score of | 152. Kirkwood's putter failed him, thlt{ club alone being responsible for his high score. | Henry Cotton, young British profes- sional, was third with 147, only three than Tony Manero, American, who added & 75 today to the same score of yesterday to put himself temporarily in second place. Cotton started out as though to burn up the course, turning the first nine in 34, but on the tenth he missed a 1-foot putt, lost his temper and then his game. On the sixteenth he blew up, taking a 6 there and 7 on the seventeenth. Hector Fjccerro, one of the Argentine stars, took & 78 for a total of 158, and Lawrence Bates, playing with him, took | 11 strokes at the sixteenth for an 83, Other scores: George Gadd, 160. Dun £ Percy Allis, 151. Ernest Whitcombe, 154, Jose Jurado, 158. \ Lee Holland, 154. Just after he finished Tcny Manero received 2 cable from his flancee, Agnes Manero, that she had com- pleted arrangements for their mar- riage on October 15. B 1/ T s BOUT GIVEN TITLE 0. K. MONTREAL, May 14 (#).—The win- ner of a 10-round match between Pete Sanstol of Norway and Archie Bell, New York, here May 20 will be recognized as the bantamweight champion of the world by the Athletic Commission of Montreal. The commission decided upon this action after the faflure of Panama Al | Brown, recognized elsewhere as cham- pion, to answer repeated challenges. | The commission announced that it | would request the National Boxing | Association, with which it is affiliated; the Canadian Boxing Federation, the Massachusetts State Athletic Commis- sion and the New York State Athietic Commission to take similar action. | | Then in five innings they got seven hits and three runs off Milburp Shoff- left hander. One hit was made Everybody in the line-up clouted safe- ly with Sam Rice having a big day. The veteren whacked & double and | three singles in six trips to the piate He also scored three —runs, stealing home in the first inning for the Na- fonals' Initial score, and knocked over two more. | The Indians got eight hits spread over | six innings off Brown. Two spotted ones, bunched with an error by Bluege netted the home side a brace of tallies in the first frame. Three Washington runs splattered over in the third, | though, the two tallies putting the Na- | tionals ahead being sent in by the two- | bagger banged by Joe Kuhel, a Cleve- 1and boy. Y. After that with Brown hurling in fine style, and the Nationals hitting | everywhere, the Indians never had a | chance to cop. They did bunch two | hits in the ninth, but only the first of | them, a homer s-nt over the right fleld | barrier by Earl Averill, helped their score. | Dr. Marvin Praises Director’s . |last night came away thrilled by | the many other sides of the athletic | cognizance ,ahead of him and a just reward at @he Toening WASHINGTON, D. PIXLEE IS LAUDED BY 6. W. U. HEAD Work in Sports—Griffiths Thrills Diners. BY R. D. THOMAS. EVERAL hundred who at- tended the George Wash- ington varsity dinner in honor of Colonial -athletes a brilllant talk by Maj. John L. Griffiths, Big Ten commissioner, but uppermost in the minds of many teday was the thought of a happy future in athletics as visioned by the institution’s presi- dent, Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin. Dr.' Marvin expressed confidence that within another year George Washingtcn would have its long needed athletic field to be financed from the $600,000 estate of the late Richard E. Pairo, but almost equally encouraging, especielly to alumni and friends of the school, was the complete satisfaction he voiced over the progress made by James E. Pixlee, finishing his second year as director of | athletics. Pixlee's appointment was the result of a painstaking search for the right man to do a difficult job. “He was given four years to do cer- | tain things,” said Dr. Marvin, “and so | has exceeded all my expecta- | far he tions.” Griffith Defends Athletics. Maj. Griffith ran the gamut of college sport problems and in the main stoutly defended athletics. He declared the Carnegle Teport presented an untrue picture and cited other instances in which educators have reached distorted conclusions by starting from erratic premises. He charged them with per- ceiving evil without seeking the good in college athletics and flouted the belief of some that sport interfered with aca- demic development. He presented con- vincing facts along his oratorical trail, which wes punctuated with rib-splitting anecdotes. Speaking of foot ball overemphasis and commercialism, he said: “College athletics are commercial in the same sense that the schools, colleges, the art galleries, public libraries and hospitals are commercial. Foot ball is a commercial-philanthropic rather than a mercenary-commercial enterprise. Out of the thousand institutions in the United States above high school grade maintaining foot ball teams only 25 ! realize enough of a return to support | curriculum, “I cannot believe that the people take of this so-called over-| empsasis, nor can they be patient with | the measures some have suggested in | routing the alleged evil. It seems| almost likely that the whole scope of | the nveremghasfs cry could have been | engineered by a professor who resented | the fact that 80,000 attended a foot | ball game and 150 attended his lectures. He would blast the stadium in the hope that the 80,000 would promptly file into his room of learning.” Maj. Griffiths drew a parallel be- tween the philosophy of sport and democracy, in_which he made the ob- servation: “Where, 1 ask, except in athletics is & man given a start on equal terms with his fellow, a clear track| the end? Name a human activity | which can boast of the aphletic world’s absolute sense of fair play.” Other Distinguished Speakers. _ Other speakers included Senafor | James W. Brookhart of Towa, Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota and Stephen E. Kramer, assistant superin- tendent of Washington schools. Letters were presented by Director of Athletics Pixlee. Associate Justice James Mc- Pherson Proctor, District Supreme Court, was the toastmaster. Honored guests included: Smith W. Brookhart, Senator from Iowa; Gerald P. Nye, Senator from North Dakota—both of whose State uni- versities will meet George Washington in foot ball next season; John Bell Larner, chairman of the school's board of trustees; Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of the university; Capt. Joel T. Boone, physician to Presicent Hoo-* ver; Capt. John W. Wilcox, jr., director of athletics, United Siates Naval Acad- emy; Rip Miller, Navy coach; Brig. Gen. Charles D. Rhodes, Drs. F. A.

Indians Disappoint. BY GAYLE TALBOT, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer, OUGH held back by cold and wet weather since they reached the farthest West- ern outposts, the Eastern teams already have managed to demonstrate pretty conclusively that they still hold the balance of power in the American League. They have won 11 of their first | 14 intersectional engagements. Through yesterday’s games the cham- pion Philadelphia Athletics had scored three straight over their Western rivals, | the New York Yankees had won a pair between rains, Washington had won three out of four and the Boston Red Sox three out of five. | But for a stanch stand by the Detroit Tigers the route of the Western clubs would so far have been complete. The Tigers have won all three victories | credited to their section. Cleveland's | Indians have made the most disap- pointing showing against the invaders, losing four straight and dropping within |a week from the top to fifth place. | Macks Keep It Up. ‘The Athletics, who went into first place Tuesday, continued yesterday to mow down the Westerners. They went 11 innings to defeat the Chicago White | 8ox, 7 to 5, after home runs by Coch- | rane and Miller in the eighth and ninth innings had enabled them to tie the score. It was their fifth straight victory and the tenth out of their last 12 starts. George Earnshaw held the Hose to nine hits and none the last four frames. Lou Gehrig doubled in the eighth inning to score Jimmy Reese and give the Yankees a close 3-to-2 d over the St. Louis Browns in their first meeting of the year. George Blae- holder did not allow the Yanks a hit | until the seventh, when they three of them to score twice and tie it up. Milt Gaston, Red Sox right-hander, lost a tough 2-to-1 verdict to Detroit when errors helped the score.
