SPORTS. HAVE 343 AVERAGE ON WESTERN FLING Half Their Swats for Extra Bases—Stewart Sccond Jinx Thwarted. S ing and very shy at bat in the early games of the championship campaign, these Nationals are proving world beat- | BY JOHN B. KELLER. T. LOUIS, May 16.—Unable to | hit during their Spring train- ers at bat on their first Western | o swing of the season. In the six games played on this tour through | the Western sector up to today the | Johnson-led band has smacl;erhF the ball for a cool average of .343, | which s high-class hitting wheth- | er at home or abroad at any time of the flag chase. ‘What is more surprising is the power | the Nationals have dispiayed in their | punch since getting into this half of the American League. Of their 46 hits made in 251 legal times at bat, 23 have been for extra bases. The Washington batsmen in the half dozen engagements in this sector have socked 19 doubles, | 2 triples and 2 homers. Some wallop! | Only twice have the Nationals failed to bat into double figures in & game. | ‘They amassed only nine hits in their | first e at Detroit, which they lost, and in Cleveland on Thursday they collected only nine safeties. They have had two games in which they slammed 18 hits and two games in which they garncred 16 hits. Small wonder that since coming West | the Nationals have sprung their record winning streak of the campaign—five games. ARTICULARLY pleasing on this trip is the Naticnals' success against certain -pitchers who for | some time had been plain poison to them. At Cleveland two days ago they disposed of Wes Ferrell, who had stop- ped them cold for two successive sea- sons, and here yesterday thcy over-| came the left-handed Walter Stewart, ‘who had held a spell over them unce‘ early in the 1920 eampaign. Perhaps much of the magic these hurlers .worked upon the Washington club was due mainly to the attitude of th: Washington players when ey went into games t them. It scemed that merely the announcement that Perrell or Stewart was to take the | 87 Traynor rapped a single to center, hill for the opposition was enough to st-p the Nationals.

By the Associated Press ARRY FRENCH, Pittsburgh left- L hander, has a little repetition of histery to talk about. “Two years ago, French faced the New York Giants in his debut as a major league pitcher. After a great struggle, the Pirates won in the tenth, 3 to 2, when Pie Traynor singled to drive in thé winning run. Yestergay Larry made his first New York appear- ance of the 1931 season in New York and battled Clarence Mitchell of the Giants to a 2-2 standstill in the regu- lar nine innings. Then in the tenth George Grantham’s grounder hit first base and bounded away fcr a double ging in a run that speiled & 3-2 The Phillies also did a little dupli- cating, but for them it meant only a gard Ferrell or Stewart as simply an-|double loss to the Cincinnati Reds in other pitcher from this time on and about their business accordingly. | T was a big eighth inning that chased 1 the. Stewart jinx yesterday in the Nationa's' first tussle of the year| with the Browns. | Up to that frame the Washington | club appeared hopelessly beaten. It | had been unable to do much with| Stewart outside the second inning when it stepped into & two-run lead, and that lead had been swept aside when Fred Marberry, after getting out the first two batters up in the third inning, was found for five successive safeties that netted the Browns four tallies, Espec galling was the fact that it was & bounded off the roof of the right-fleld bleachers by Goose | Goslin, erstwhile National, with two | on the runway that put the Browns| When the Browns went on to an- other run in the fifth, with Goslin batting over the run, it seemed the Nationals were through for the day. | It was after this hit, a single, that Marberry gave way to Hadley. | Hadley stopped the Browns eold, only two hits to vaise their game total to 11 being gleancd off him. One was made at the start of the sixth ses- °n 2nd one after one was out in the | ninth.

The double victory made it three Mt:iih'. for the Reds and five victories in Bissonette's Homer Wins.

Runs—Surrett, on OLD ROSEBUD MARK OF 14 THREATENED Classic Run on Dry Course First Time Since 1925. Field Is Small. BY ALAN GOULD. Assoclated Press Sports Editor. OUISVILLE, Ky, May 16.— Falr weather, a fast track and a horse race that may turn out to be a record- breaker furnished the salient prospects today for the fifty-sev- enth running of the Kentucky Derby over the historic route at Churchill Downs, famous for it thoroughbred duels since A | tides, the “little red horse,” won | the first Blue Grass classic from Volcano in 1875. | Not more than 13 of the 15 entries were slated to parade to the post shortly after 5 pm. (Central standard time) and wage the battle of speed, courage and stamina over a mile and a quarter for American 3-year-old supremacy, the victor's price of approximately $50.000 and the roaring acclaim of the crow The smallest field and the fastest track in five years, due to a Spring heat wave, combined to assure a gala spec- tacle at the picturesque Downs and conditions favorable to bringing out the best performances by an exceptionaily strong field, dominated by the twin Eastern favorites—Mrs. Payne Whit- ney's Twenty Grand and Albert C. Bost- wick's Mate. Not since Bubbling Over carried th~ silks of Col. E. R. Bradley to victory in 1925 has the historic racing strip been dry and fast. For three years rain has deluged the proceedings. Co: sequently, turfmen today viewed the turn in weather luck as conducive to & new record by the winner, especially if the drive down mmh measures up to its thrilling les. p’!‘he Derby record of 2:03 2-5 for the mile and a quarter, set by Old Rosebud in 1914, as well as perhaps the worlds | track record of 2:00, made by the 6-year-old Whiskbroom II at Belmont | Park, N. Y., in 1913, may be subjected to severe pressure, the opinion of those who regard this year's Derby field as one of the best of post-war times. Twenty Grand showed enough liking for the Downs to set a new track record for a mile as a 2-year-old, beating Equipoise. Barring a bad break in racing luck, either Twenty Grand or Mate seemed capable of hanging up a new mark under the stimulus of a real battle right up to the finish. Should either of these two aces and favorites show any signs of oracking under the strain of their own duel, there was the chance of a come-back by Equipoise or an upset by a Western hopeful, such as | Pittsburgher, Boys Howdy or Sweep All. to put the record in jeopardy. All have shown enough speed to make a free- for-all struggle through the last quarter mile, Good Long-Shot Bet.
