BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, May 23.—Getting | hits was an easy matter for J the Nationals today except when hits meant runs, so | they took a 7-to-6 beating from the Yankees. In all, 14 safeties bounded off the Washington bats, | but five of them were reserved| until the ninth inning, when a five- | run rally was staged after two were| out. . The Nationals, In this rally, drove 3| cover the left-handed Herb Pennock, who up to that time had been something of a mystery to them. But with the | tying run on second base in the keep-| ing of Ossic Bluege, the Washington management picked Harry Rice to bat for Joe Kuhel against Ed Wells, south- | paw relief worker, and Harry's best| was & hard drive to Earl Combs in cen- | g tor. Lloyd Brown opened fire for th Nationals, but was ineflective from th start. He gave up 9 of the 11 safeties made by the Yanks before he was re-| tired in favor of Carl Fischer in the sixth. Brown was nicked for all the| home side runs. | The Yankees started scoring in the| double | i hrig | opened the round by popping to shori| right. Hayes got under the ball, but| slipped and fell just as he was about to make a catch. The sphere dropped for | a two-bagger.

Should he be out a month or more the damage to the Nationals' cause this year might be irreparable. HILE the Nationals are tussling with the Red Sox the next five days a young hurler who has been awaiting for some time to start a ball game for them probably will be called on by Manager Johnson to show his wares. He is Bob Burke, who has done nothing more than fill relief roles this | son, but who has filled them so suc- | ully his boss figures he is entitle! | cess to a start. Since he came to the Nationals several years ago Burke has started few games. “Every cnce in a while, though, he has gone to the hill and given a sterling performance. The lanky left- hander has beaten some high-class clubs in his time. But because of his lack of avoirdupois has been regarded as too lacking in stamina to become a regular starter. Even now Bob is not over 10 pounds heavier than when he came to Washington a youngster, tipping the beam around 140 pounds. But Bob has done so well this season in mincr roles that Manager Johnson is beginning to believe the young fellow & pretty good pitcher and a likely pros- pect as a_starter, despite the slight poundage “borne by his six feet two frame.

BY R. D. THOMAS. RGENTINA, headed for a high place in the world of sport, has come a long way in tennis in recent years, and this week is expected to make your Uncle Sam bestir himself with unaccustomed vigor to re- main on top in the Western Hemi- sphere, assuming the American team is victorious over the Cana- dians in the matches now in progress at Montreal and in which the Yankees are leading, two matches to one. The champions of North and America will clash next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at Chevy Chase, in a Davis Cup interzone final, and though the United States will be the favorite, the outcome is nct to be taken for granted as usual. ‘Washington tennis folk were dis- appointed by the matches at Chevy Chase last year, in which the United States polished off Mexico without . ef- fort, and the competition the previous year between the Yankees and Japanese was warm only in spots. But this time, we have it from quali- fled observers, the business at hand is serious. ‘The Argentines have been batting away at Chevy Chase for & week and have shown more stuff than was looked for, despite the fact they swept through the South American field with the loss of only 47 games in 45 sets. TTO GLOCKLER, Chevy Chase tennis pro, has been impressed. Says he: “This far away it Jooks like real action.” By request of Edwin French, the Argentines’ non-playing captain, Glock- ler took over the squad several days |ago and is said to have obtained some | quick resuts. Ronaldo Boyd, 26 years old, is the visitors No. 1 piayer. He has been a leading performer in South America for several years and in 1928 scored a grand slam in the continental champ- fonships. In singles, doubles and mixed doubles he counted impressively. Another veteran, Guillermo 3 28, ranked No. 2. has competed with credit in all of Argentina’s important events since 1925. other dependables, Lucilo del Castillo and Adriano Zappa, are com- parative youngsters, both being 23. Lu- cilo made his first appearance abroad !at Wimbledon in 1928 and didn’t do so well, but has come along rapidly in the last couple years. He has beaten Boyd a time or two in important championships and with Zappa won the Argentina_doubles title last year and the year before. Capt. French hasn't decided whether the champion duo will CREWS KEPT FROM TENNIS N CANADA - RACING BY STORM Regatta at Ithaca Called Off After Oarsmen and Fans Shiver Three Hours. BY ALLAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. THACA, N. Y, May 23.— Cornell | failed today to shake oft the weather jinx that has pursued its Spring day festivities. | As a result, after a day of cold and | dismal rain, the quadrangular regatta was called off and thousands of carnival | visitors were robbed of the expected thrills of three races featuring the un- | defeated crews of Cornell, Syracuse and | Harvard, together with Massachusetts | Tech. It was the second successive year that |the Spring day program has been | the Boston series and makes good he |spoiled by rain, but the first time in | | eight years that it was found impossible | the celebrated but unruly waters of | Lake Cayuge. | The regatta was cancelled altogether | after oarsmen and spectators, bundled | in blankets and slickers, waited nearly | three hours in the hope that conditions would improve. Instead they grew worse as the storm that blew most of the day whipped up white caps and made it hazardous even to attempt the launching of the iragile cedar shells in the Cayuga inlet. In a forlorn hope that matters might take a favorable turn the observation train of 35 cars, half-fillad, after wait- ing two hours at the Ithaca station, was rolled up the east zide of the lake. One look at the turbulent waters con- vinced officials and spectators alike that there was not a chance for a shell to “’ty afloat five minutes if it ventured out. Because of their examinations next week, the crews of Harvard, Syracuse and M. I T, found it impossible to consider remaining here to try racing on_Monday. Eastern rowing enthusiasts were de- prived of the chance to witness the | most. important regatta of the Spring, | preliminary to the classics at Pough- ‘Heepsie and New London. | | 1S HALTED BY RAIN Wood Has a Set to Credit; in Match With Wright When Downpour Intervenes. By the Assoclated Press. ONTREAL, Quebec, May 23— The weather man took a hand in the Davis Cup tennis series | between the United States and | Canada today, sending a downpour of | | rain to halt hostilities for the day after Sidney B. Wood, jr., of New York had | won the first set of his match with the | Montreal veteran, Dr. Jack Wright. After waiting an hour for the rain to | stop, officials decided to postpone all | play until tomorrow afternoon. Wood will complete his match with Dr. Wright and Frank Shields, New York youngster, then will take the court in the final singles match with Marcel Rainville, little French-Canadian from Montreal. The United States holds a 2-to-1 lead in the series thus far, having split even in the first two singles matches Thurs- day and won the doubles yesterday. Victory in either of the final singles matches will clinch the series for the United States and send the team into the interzone finals with Argentina at ‘Washington next week. Threatening weather held up the | start of play today for nearly an hour, | then cleared sufficiently for Wood and Wright to take the court Wood won the toss and games fol- lowed service to the fourth game, where Wood broke through the veteran's service and then won on his own to gain a lead of 4—1. Wright picked this spot for a rally, however, and brought the score to 5-all and then 6-all. Wood then won a love game on his own serv- ice and broke through Wright for the fourteenth game, giving him the first set, 8—6.

OWEVER, the most interesting member of the squad in some re- spects is a 17-year-old schoolboy, Ricardo Sissener. ~He's the junior champion of Argentina and his trip with the Davis Cup team was a reward for winning the title. We have it from Prof. Glockler that Ricardo is made-to-order tennis ma- terial. He is tall, wirey and fast and sed of an excellent assortment of Moreover, he is gifted with ompetitive spirit. To quote Glockler, { that boy gets the proper instruction u’ll hear a lot about him in the next several years. Sissener’s daddy is 2 Norwegian and the youth is strengly marked with andinavian cheracterisiics. The Latin hows only in his cyes, which are brown. His hair is the color of and resembles in texture yeliow corn silk. ‘The team itsclf is in keeping with the cosmopolitan character of modern Ar- gentina. Capt. French was native born, but of English parents. Robson takes his English name from his father and Boyd from his granddad. Only Del Cas- tillo and Zappa are full Latin. 'RENCH, by the way, was one of South America’s first great ath- letes. Back in '99 he ran the cen- tury in 10 1-5 seconds, sensational time in those days, and sometime later step- ped the quarter in 51 3-5 seconds for a in the first South American Olympics. For 14 years French has been a leader in Argentine tennis and has main- tained a lively interest in other sports. He menticns with pride the Pampas’ high standing in polo and soccer and its progress in tennis and golf. He be- lieves (as do many Yankees) that Firpo whipped Dempsey. Luis, by the way, is doing right well as an auto merchant. French has read with keen interest accounts of remarkable time made by Yankee sprinters. He believes the chief difference between the modern dash man and the ace of his day is a length~ cning of stride. By profession French is an engineer. Robson is a sports outfitter and_Boyd is in_the petroleum business. Zappa and Del Castillo are dental students. So is Mario V. Gonzales, who ranks about twentieth among Argentine rack- eters and who paid his own expenses to accompany the team. Gonzalez will study at Harvard. 'HE team reached its full strength yesterday for the first time in the current Davis Cup campaign. Boyd, due to illness, remained out of the South American competition. He arrived here yesterday and took part in a vigorous workout. With Ambassador Don Manuel E. Malbran of Argentina in the gallery, he and Robson played a flashing game in which Boyd, a red- haired, 210-pounder, showed no Il ef- fect of his lay-off since March except occasional mistiming. As Capt. French explained: “Boyd suffered a liver attack early in the Spring and did not travel north with the team. I have great hopes for him, though, for he experienced the same trouble in 1928 and came oh well after- ward to play close to his best game.” ‘The Argentine line-up for the coming ueemblbly will be decided today. On w sday thc South Americans will give an exhibition on the White House c s, following which they will be at a luncheon % Leo S.
