A—10 = S PORTS THE , EVENI Griffs’ Close Victory Tonic to 37TH ANNIVERSARY HAPPY ONE FOR 0E “Plays” Game From Stand as Mates Beat Red Sox in Keen Battle, 10 to 9. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, May 25.—This is the B thirty-seventh birthday an- niversary of Joe Judge, cap- tain of the Nationals. A long life-and a happy one, Joe. The veteran first sacker did his celebrating a day ahead. In Wash- ington yesterday he saw a base ball game for the first time since he was stricken by appendicitis during a contest here May 1, and enjoyed immensely watching his | club nose out the Red Sox in a 10-to-9 tussle. | “Just the tonic I needed to put me | ht,” said Joe after the game. “Watch | :.e pick up now. Tl be ready for action again not later than June 10 the way I feel at present. This umeI has done wonders for me.” Out of doors for a stay of several hours for the first time after a siege in a Boston hospital and a recupes tive period at his home in Washing: ton, the veteran naturally was not so active on his underpinning. Muffled in a heavy coat, Judge occupisd a sun- bathed box far down the left-field line in Grifith Stadium. An old warrior viewing the battle from afar. But to one sitting with Joe it was plain the veteran was in every minute of the game. He anticipated his club's plays, waited for the good one before swinging, figured whether & curve or & fast one would be served, sensed the :md the flelder had to make with his w_to head off the runner. The Red Sox, too, he watched carefully. Their footwork at the plate, their po- sition play afield he noted. Nothing escaped h'm and the veteran more often than not called the turn correctly. Sitting there in the box, Joe was in every play and when a good stop and throw by Ossie Bluege ended the struggle he turned as he arose and said to friend wife: *“Don’'t bother about bringing the car around back o!| the stand for me. I'll walk across the field to the parking place. I feel great.” was & ball game calculated to keep any supporter of the Was inh on s Eacly inithe batiiing the Red Sox forged ahead and shortly after the Nationals had wrested the lead from them the Collins-led band up to a tie. Washington stepped to what seemed a healthy lead there- after, but in the ninth inning the Red Sox found the ball hot and were set b-ckon)y-!ura:wle‘rumxm. ‘They went down wil the potential tying tally on first base. Ne ther Al Crowder nor Danny Mac- Fayden, starting hurlers, lasted. Crow- der wen! out in the seventh after pass- ing the first batter up and throwing a ‘wide one to the next. He had been nicked for six hits and five runs. Mac- Fayden also faded in the seventh ‘after passing the first batter, put he had been found for eight safeties end seven tal- lies, so the victory was eredited to of Bump Hadley, the second Washington hurler. Bump d'd well until the ninth, but then 1t looked as though the Red Sox might offset the extra advantage the Nationals had gleaned off Wilcy Moore with three hits for as many markers in the eighth. In the final frame three Boston hits with one out meant a rua and after Hadley fanned a batter for the second out came a double and a single to produce three mere allen scores. Here Bump was lifted and Sad Sam Jones went to the hill to put on the brakes. Plenty in that ball game to thrill the Nationals' recuperatng captain. "LL never get him,” declared Judge when Myer cpened the Na- tionals’ first bat turn with a bounder to Shortstop “That boy can dust to first.” t Buddy got there just ahead of Rhyne’s heave and there were two on when Buddy with another burst of speed made second zhead of tue ball as the Red Sox essayed a double play on Sam Rice's tap. A pass to Cronin filled the sacks and Meyer tallied on West's in- field erasure. Each side counted in the second. ‘Webb’s homer into tte left field stand, a great hit for a left-] batter, gave the Red Sox their ruf. MacFayden's wildness helped the Nationals. He filled the bases with a pass, then issued an- other to force over a run. Crowder was soundly bumped in the third 2nd the Red Sox picked up three runs, but the home side came back in . NG Wilson, Hitting .266, on as Bruin Associated Press. HICAGO, May 25.—For the first time since he became & Cub regular, Hack Wilson, home run champlon of the major leagues last season, has been benched for any reason other than injury. Wilson, who has batted out only two home runs this season and whose batting average to date is only .266, compared to his finishing mark of -356 in 1930, yesterday was relegated to the bench by Rogers Hornsby in an effort to add power to the Cub attack. Hornsby did not say that Wilson would not be in the ball game when the club opens in Cin- cinnati Tuesday, but indicated that the pudgy slugger would rest for sev- eral days. It was reported while the Cubs were in New York that Wilson was Home-Run Champion Benched Sidelines for First Time Regular. to be removed from the line-up, and he did remain out for & day. How- ever, Hornsby denied that Hack had been set down for any reason except an injury to a finger. He also denied that there was friction between him- self and Wilson and has continued to_deny it. Riggs Stephenson went to left feld and Johnny Moore played in center yesterday. Stephenson punched out three hits, but not enough to keep the Cubs from taking another beat- ing from the Pirates. ‘The Rajah did not appear any more than annoyed at the failure of his club to strike a winning gait. He sald work was what the boys needed and announced that a stren- uous morning practice would be a regular part of the dailly program until the Cubs start to click. “What we need, as I heve said be- fore, 15 work,” Hornsby said. “And once we get started we will travel fast encugh to suit anybody.” |DEMPSEY IS ELIGIBLE T0 SUE FOR DIVORCE | Completes Six-Weeks' Residence in Nevada—Time of Suit Is Problematical. By the Associated Press. RENO, Nev, May 25.— Having completed six weeks of residence in Nevada, Jack Dempsey, former heavy- weight boxing champion, today became legally qualified to file a much-discussed divorce suit against his actress wife, Estelle Taylor. ‘Whether the suit would be filed today or at any time in the near future was problematical, as both Dampsey and his l!wme{i‘l!!obel’t E.

Miss. Taylor asserted she had not sent him away, but had remained in Los Angeles keeping his home for him while he had been traveling about the country. The actress said the sports- manship had not been entirely on Jack’s side of the family and that if any divorcing was to be done, she would file suit herself in Los Angeles. Attorneys representing each had | several conferences thereafter, pre- sumably over the question of a property settlement, but no announcement ever has been made as to an agreement.

TO REPRESENT CLUB for the Pendleton Canoe Club | MLARNIN ESSAYING A RING COMEBACK Seeks Revenge Against Pe- trolle for Lacing Given Him Last November. By the Assoclated Press. | EW YORK, May 25.—Seeking | revenge for the worst beating he ever took, Jimmy McLarnin, Vancouver welterweight, battles Bllly Petrolle, “Fargo Express,” in the 10-round featurs bout of Madison Square Garden's boxing show Wednesday night. Perolle, a fistic long shot if there ever was one, handed McLarnin a ter- rific lacing at the Garden last Novem- ber and forced Jimmy into temporary retirement, McLarnin suffered so severe an injury to his right hand in that bout that it has taken him five months to complete repairs. The Vancouver puncher again will be the favorite, but the odds probably will be no better than 7 to 5. ‘The Nation’s other leading ring offer- ings this week will be staged at Phila- delphia, Boston, Chicago and Holly- wood, Calif.

ROCKVILLE BEATEN BY FLY LOST IN SUN Celtics Score Three Runs When Dawson Is Blinded—Winning Streak Is Snapped. ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 25.—Ray Dawson yesterday turned back the pages of base ball history two years to emulate the famous sunfleld act of Hack Wilson, the Chicago Cubs’ portly outfielder, which cost his team a victory in the 1929 world series with Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics. ‘The Rockville A. A. was struggling along in a 3-all deadlock with the St. Mary’s Celtics when its usually reliable ight field guardian elected to duplicate the play which made Wilson, one of the outstanding figures of the national pastime, a world series’ goat. Bill Langford, Celtics’ second base- man, shot a soaring drive into right fleld in the eighth inning of the fray and Dawson, blinded by the sun, lost track of the ball. Three runners were across with the tallies that gave the Celtics a comfortable lead and Lang- ford was resting on second when the ball was retrieved. Collins which let in Langford with another run, gave the Celtics 3 7-to-6 triumph and shattered the five-game winning streak of the Maryland tossers, who previously were undefeated. Rockville strove in vain to tie the issue in its half of the ninth, but its three-run rally fell short when “Doc” Driefus, Celtic mound ace, forced two batters to hoist fiies to the infield after Battery B of Fort Myer, Va., walked off the field with Del Ray A.

HYATTSVILLE, Md,, May 25—Cul-| | pepzr All-Stars may be some pump- kins down in their part of Virginia, but to Henry Hiser's Hyattsville All-Stars | they're just another ball team. Hyatts- ville hung a 17-3 pasting on the in- | vaders from the Old Dominion yester- day at Riverdale. Culpeper started strongly, scoring all their runs in the first inning when they got to Lefty Waters for four hits, and also helped by Catcher Rich Reeley’s wild chuck over second base. In the sec- ond inning, how:sver, Waters settled down and gave up only one hit and thereafter breezed along for five innings without giving up a single run or hit |and fanning 10. He gave way to Mc- Donald in the eighth, who finished the game in good style. It was a fairly tight game until the sixth, when Hyattsville launched a bom- bardment which brought six runs. It continued to slam the ball in the sev- enth for six runs, during which, Kirk, starting Culpeper pitcher, was replaced by Walker. The latter did rather well, ;huulh somewhat wild. He fanned our. Heading Hyattsville's 17-hit orgy were Julie Radice, who got a triple, two doubles and a single; Ernie Hiser, with a three-bagger and two-bagger; Gene Hargett, with two doubles and Mocker Belt and Oscar Hiser, each of whom gathered three singles. Hyattsville has booked a double-head- er for Memorial day with Majestic Ra- dio of Washington for the Riverdale fleld. The first game will start at 1:30 o'clock. BOWEN BUSY IN RING.

HEN the time for the anmual | wrangle over the No. 1 rank- ing sandlot base ball club arrives, there is & team out Wisconsin avenue way that will have plenty to say about it, if it keeps play- ing the brand of ball it has thus far, Last year the Northerns, Prench's, Silver Spring Gilants, St. Mary's Cel- tics and Washington Red Sox threw their caps in the circle, but this session the Skinker Eagles have theirs in—with two big feathers in it, too. ‘The Skinkers, champions of Wash- ington's basket ball world, yesterday put the bee on the Red Sox, 9 to 5. They already hold a decision over the Giants and want to know what other club can point to a better record. If the Northern Red Birds figure to claim the District title again they'll have to hustle. In their debut yester- day, the Columbia Cleaners, with Herbie Young, former Griff bat boy, on the mound, allowed the Birds only three hits and won, 1 to 0. RENT TURNER is the cock o’ the walk today among the sandlotters. He twirled a no-hit, no-run game against Chevy Chase as the Miller- Roamers won, 11 to 1, but had a Chevy Chaser managed to get a single hit Turner would have been just another pitcher yesterday. That's how good some of ‘your sandlotters were. Three cone-hit games were registered. Fred Berry of the Hecht Co. team allowed Lansburgh's cne safety as Hecht won, 15 to 2, and took the lead in the Department Store League, Raiford pitched the Schwartz to a 23-to-0 victory over the Senators who managed to get only one bingle while Bragg and Swann's completed the trio of runners-up to Turner with a one-hit performance against the Bus Swann’s winning, 11 to 2. ETHESDA has four Best brothers playing on its team, which bowed to the Kanawhas, 6 to 5 yesterday. R. and L. Best were the best of the Bests, each getting two hits out of five. F Spengler Post, champion of the American Legion, means to repeat its triumph of 1930, it will have to do it without the services of Lefty Lomax, leading pitcher. - Lomax sustained a broken ankle when a hard shot caromed off his right leg. DDIihu HthUWHINSON' Capitol He! irler, is proving one of leading pitchers Y-h\lg far. 'He con- tinued to click yesterday when he held Saks, with & chance to take the Capital City_League lead, to three hits while the Heights boys won, 5 to 2.
