LOUIS, May 16.—Still ham- mering the ball, the Na-; tionals made it two in a row over the Browns, boosted their winning streak to six games and gained second place in the league standings, but they had to go 11 innings to bag today's bat- tle. The score was 9 to 7. It was a triple by Joe Cronin with two down in the eleventh that put over the winning runs. Bob Burke, after doing a neat bit of relief pitching, had opened the inning with & good double and there were two on when Buddy Myer, running for Bob, | G got to third ahead of a throw from Dick Coffman, who had picked up Jack Hayes' bunt. Sam Rice didn't help when he forced out Hayes without giving Myer a chance to head for home. Then Heinie Manush sent a fly to Tom Jenkins in right field, but Myer, running back to tag up, slipped and fell, That cost him a chance to try for the te after the catch. Here| Cronin in and put across his| big hit. ‘The triple climaxed a fine day for Joe. It was his third safety, the others being s double and a homer. The , made in the seventh inning, broke a 6-6 deadlock and came right on top of a remarkable one-hand catch of Jlnkltynl' liner that ;quelched sn" nl(x; ceedingly dangerous Brown threa the sixth. Cronin was charged with an error that helped the home side to a tally, but he more than made up for the slip. Bluege and Hargrave, Too. Ossie Bluege and Red Hargrave also | clouted homers, Hargrave making his as | a substitute hitter for Roy Spencer when | there were two Nationals on the run- way in the sixth.

After Burns whiffed, Levey tried to tally, but was_cut down at the counting block by Cronin's relay of West's heave. ‘The #ixth Brown run was checked up in the fifth frame. Two were out when Melillo crashed a two-bagger against the right-fleld wall McNeely then poked a single to center to put the run over. The Nationals again got Collins’ range in the sixth and clubbed them- selves into a tie. Cronin walked and West singled before Bluege Jordan’s third hit, a double, tallied Cronin. Then Hargrave picked up Spencer's bat and smote his first homer of the season to give his side three more markers.

IN 48,725 CLASSIC Pays $3.76 Mutuel in Beat- ing Sweep All 4 Lengths. Mate Finishes Third. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HURCHILL DOWNS, Louis~ ville, Ky., May 16.—Swing- ing into the lead on the turn for home, Twenty Grand, the gallant brown colt of Mrs. Helen Hay Whitney’s Green- tree Stables, raced to victory in the fifty-seventh annual renewal of the Kentucky Derby here this | afternoon. The Greentree star not only won the historic Blue Grass classic by four lengths, but also set & new track and Derby record for the mile and one-quarter by traveling the course in 2:014-5. Sweep All, owned by Charles T. Fisher of Detroit, was second, four lengths behind, and Mate, one of the bet- ting favorites, was third. ‘Twenty Grand, always a slow starter, broke ninth in the fleld of 13 from the barrier and had dropped to tenth as the quarter-mile pole was passed, could be seen lifted high saddle. Ladder had taken the lead at that point and Prince D'Amour had begun to slack off in his pace. ‘Then it was that Twenty Grand really began his race. His long, brown body close to the ground, he began to pull toward the front, and at the three- quarter mark he was second and only one-half length behind Sweep All Kurtsinger then swung Twenty Grand to the outside of the pack and as the fleld turned into the home stretch he drove the son of St. Germain and Bonus into the lead. Down the stretch the new Derby king came, well out from the rail, increasing his margin at every stride. As Twenty Grand crossed the finish line he was well under rein and breathing easily. Time, 14-5, Sets Record. far back in 1913 and track of 2:03 1-5, held by Woodtrap. Twenty Grand’s Victory paid his owner $48,725 and made his total winnings climb to | $156,100 for two seasons on the turf. ‘Bv:kers of Twenty Grand were paid $3.76 for their investments in his speed. Mate, the A. C. Bostwick colt, that won the rich Preakness stake only a ago and was second in the bet- ting, never could find better than third lace in the race. He started eleventh, t advanced to fourth at the half-mile and then swung into third place and held consistently to that post. Sweep All's drive to second place was the only upset of form in the race and |pald $15.58 for place in the mutuels. Like Twenty Grand, Sweep All was slow leaving the barrier, but pulled from eleventh to seventh in the first quarter. He was third at the half mile and as the pack flashed by the three- quarter post he was one-half length in the lead. Then Twenty Grand fiitted past, but the Fisher horse gamely held his position in front of the remainder of the fleld. Pittsburgher Never a Factor. Pittsbureher, hope of the West, was heavily played in the betting, but finished seventh and never was better By the Associated Press. ARIS, May 16.—The valiant ef- ferts of George Lott and Johnny Van Ryn to aid their French Davis Cup enemies in the France-England team _tennis matches today proved useless. England wound up the day with a lead of seven matches to three. The Americans, playing for the French International Lawn Tennis Club in doubles, had no trouble with the British pair, J. C. Gregory and James Collins, winning, 6—1,6—3. This match {hr followed expectations, but in the other contests there were many upsets. Jean Borotra, the Bouncing Basque, bowed to youth and could not get his game going against the ambitious F. J. Perry, one of England’s star youngsters. Borotra dropped the second set at love and Perry captured eight straight games in the second and third sets to | win, 3—6, 6—0, 6—3. Another surprise was the defeat of the British veteran, C. H. Kingsley, by Marcel Bernard, 6—4, 6—8, 6—3. The French missed the racquet of Henri Cochet, French ace, who was taken ill recently on his return from Ttaly and still abed. ‘Tomorrow Lott and Van Ryn will | meet the British team of Kingsley and | Austin in the finals of the team contest, while Elizabeth Ryn, playing with Jean Borotra in the mixed doubles, starts Mme.

Little time was wasted in getting the field of 12 thoroughbreds away from the barrier. It was almost 5 o'clock when Spanish Play led the parade from the paddock and the flower-spotted infield was bright in the afternoon Spring sun- shine. A brisk wind blew out of the South and whi the of all natlons stiffly their staffs. As Jockey Charlie Allen lifted Spanish Play ough the lane the refrain of the blue grass, “My Old Kentucky Home” came throbbing from amplifiers and the crowd of 50,000 stood with heads bared. Starter Will Hamilton had a little trouble with Sweep All and Anchors Aweigh and twice grooms were forced to back the frisky colts into the stalls. Then the red flag dropped and the crowd that had stood in tense silence broke into a frenzy of cheering that never died until Twenty Grand had crossed the finish line. They brought the winner into the tiny grass plot before the grandstand— kept inviolate for champions—and there Charles Curtis, Vice President of the United States, presented Mrs. Helen Hay Whitney with the Regal Gold Trophy. And around the neck of Twenty Grand was d a collar of roses—similar to those that have decked 56 other Derby champions—but never a greater or gamer one than this pride | the French championship play against of the Greentree Stables. “Greatest” Three-Year-Old. Tonight turf followers are scelaim- ing Twenty Grand as one of the grest- est of all American three-year-olds.
