BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, May 27.—This doesn’t | B seem to be the Natloglals"v year in the East. The club | that last season ran rough- shod over its league neighbors, but | made little headway against its| opponents in the inland sector of the circuit, has traveled in reverse in the current campaign. Unless the Johnson band in the future| manages to make a better show- ing against its Eastern rivals than it has it will find keeping up in the American League race a little too much for it. In 1930 the Fast was easy pickings for the Nationals, They bested the Ath- letics and gave the Yankees and the Red Sox sound thrashings. Against these three clubs Washington played at a .697 rate. But it was unable to do much with the West, and only through ral- lies on its own lot in competition with the four inland clubs was it able to average as much as .545 against them. Vastly different this year. The club that but recently swept through the West at an 818 pace, winning nine games and losing two, hasn’t found the East to its liking. In 24 engagements | with the seaboard outfits the Nationals | have been beaten a dozen times. In the other dozen games they triumphed times and played once to a tie. That's & pace of .478, against last year's .697. ‘That's one reason why the Washing- ton club, although in third place in the race, is 5o far back of the A's today. It isn’t making the grade against the East. last-place Boston club has no right to play the Nationals to an even break over an eight-game stretch, yet that is just what it has 3 Mlumnmemdsoxtogz —5 out of 22. With 14 games still to be played with the Nationals this sea- £on, the Red Sox already have scored over _them four times. With a double-header scheduled to- day and a single engagement tomor- row, however, the Nationals have a more than fair chance to regain an advan- tage over Manager Collins’ crew. They ‘were to get their pitching from the left- handers, Lloyd Brown and Carl Fischer, in the twin bill. Tomorrow Manager Johnson plans to send Al Crowder this against the Red Sox for the third time this Spring. Crowder has been licked once by the Red Sox and was somewhat | fortunate to away with a win over | them in Washington last Sunday. He| is to get the call, though, over Bob| Burke, lanky southpaw Jchnson first| had figured to start here. With Fred Marberry, who was the | club’s first choice for relief hurling, ! nursing a leg injury, Johnson de<ms it best to hold Burke in reserve for emer- gency work. If eny Washington starter | falters Bob very likely will see action in | Fenway Park. taking their 6-to-4 drubbing yes- torday in the series opener the Na- | tionals hit often, but not when hits| would do a lot of good. They got 13 hits and two passes off Jack Russell, while the Red Sox made 10 hits and| picked up a pass cff Sam Jones. Eight| of the Nztionals’ hits and their passes were wasted. The Red Sox made no use of but two of their safeties. | The Red Sox quickly piled up runs; | getting four before the Nationals started | scoring in the sixth inning. And after | the Nationals had struggled to a tie| they hopped on Jones in the eighth for two runs that meant his first defeat of | the season following four wins and the third victory over the Nationals this| year for Russell | It was Jones' lone pass that opened | the tie-breaking Boston inning. | Camp got it after going to a thres-and- two count. Webb went to a three-and- | two count, then doubled a run across. | He moved up to third as Spencer muffed a throw from Jones, who had grabbed | the return from the ' outfield and thought he had a chance to nip Van | Camp at the plate. Actually there was no chance to prevent the score. Picker- ing's two-bagger tallled Webb and the Nationals were licked 'HREE singles were gleaned off Jones by the Red Sox in the first frame two of them helping toward a run. | Rothrock hit and moved to third when Van Camp drove the ball to safety Webb sent a long one to West and Roth- Tock scampered home after the catch. out in the third, but after Myer forced | out Jones a grounder by Sam Rice to the second baseman meant a double play. Hits were made by West and | Bluege after two were out in the fourth, then Kuhel popped to the middle sacker. | Another run was chalked up by the | Red Sox in their fourth batting turn. Pickering doubled off the left-field fence, Sweeney sacrificed and the tally was registered after West bagged Oliver's ist. hA’sam Rice was a great help to the Red Sox in the fifth, when they made two scores. With two out Rothrock singled, but it seemed the inning was over when Van Camp lofted to right. Rice appar- ently was camped under the ball, but the sun blinded him and the sphere falling over his right shoulder bounded away for a triple, counting Rothrock. Webb's two-bagger pushed over another marker. | NE of those base ball rarities, a de- cision reversal, paved the way to| Washington's two-run relly in the | sixth. It had to do with the question- able “momentary eatch,” always a trouble-maker. Manush opened the inning with a liner over short, Rhyne Jeaped to grab the ball only to drop it as he landed on the ground. Umpire in Chief Nallin promptly waved Heinte | out, but Manager Johnson just as| omptly protested the decision. Nal- conferred with First Base Umpire Owens and the latter ruled “no catch.”| Everybody was happy except the Red| Sox and the Boston fans. Cronin followed with a slam over Oliver's head to the center-field fence for three bases, sending Manush across, and Joe tallied as West was thrown cut. Myer's double and Sam Rice’s single with one out in the seventh netted the Nationals a thlrd_‘n score. The Nationals tied in the eighth with | West's bunt-single, his theft of second | and run to third on Ruel’s wild peg to center and Bluege's lonng fly to Van Camp.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. Associated Press Sports Writer. OSTON has been a tough cus-| tomer for most of the National | League's clubs this season, but the Glants have - gone right along handing the Braves one setback after another. ‘The count now stands 7 to 3 for New York, as the Giants, a bit behind in their race with the St. Louis Cardinals, scored two shutout victories yesterday to regein their odd position of being a half game ahead of the Cards by one method of counting, but a few points behind in the percentagss. The Braves have been held scorcless only three times all season and the Giants have done it each time Manager John McGraw teamed up his. pair of star southpaws for the afternoon, sending out Carl Hubbell to take & 3-to-0 victory in the first game and Bill Walker io win the second, 6 to 0.

DEADLY PUNCHERS - INSEGOND BATTLE Vengeful McLarnin, Hand Back in Shape, and Pe- trolle Clash Tonight. By the Assoclated Press. | EW YORK, May 27.—Two of i‘ the deadliest punchers in the business, Jimmy McLarnin of | | Vancouver and Billy Petrolle of Fargo, N. Dzk., square cff in a 10- | round return bout at Madison Square Garden tonight. Petyolle, his vicious left hook work- ing overtime, gave McLarnin a terrific lacing when they met in the Garden last November, smashed him to the can- vas twice and all but knocked him out. His right hand broken early in the fight, McLarnin had to call upon all his courage to stay the limit. Believes Hand 0. K. Convinced that his principal punch- ing weapon is as good as new, McLarnin 1l enter the ring with confidence un- Impafred. Convinced of the same thing, the betting fraternity has established the smiling Irishman an 8-to-5 favorite to_whip his one-time conqueror, In a battle between two such slug- gers, one punch can change the entire complexion of things and Petrolle, hav- ing whipped the Vancouver welterweight once, thinks he can do it again, Fargo Billy has been in the business too long to worry over a rival's reputation. The 10-round semi-final also will be a return bout—between Billy Light of | St. Paul and Eddie Ran of Poland. Billy gave Ran a boxing lesson for nine rounds in their last meeting and then ran into a punch that stretched him out for the count.

Stankovitz of Hungary, a member of the council, will go to Los Angeles soon to co-operate in the Olympic ar- rangements and to make sure that the meet is run in accordance with the I A. A. F. rules. As a result of complaints about laxi- ty in regard to the rule that no foreign athlete may compete in the track events without a permit from his own country, it was decided to strictly enforce this rule and call the attention of the various athletic associations of the world to its provisions. It was also decided that an athlete during his stay in a foreign country shall be under the control of the ath- letic association of that country. The council made several decisions governing the 1932 Olympics. Among them were: That no professional starters will be permitted; the hurdles used shall meet 1. A. A. F specifications, and only three entries from each coun- try will be permitted in the marathon race and the 50,000-meter walk.

The game, orig- inally. set for Thursday, will start at 3:30 o'clock. ‘When the teams first met two years ago Eastern won something like 13 to 8 and last season it took the Tech in- structors to camp, 8 to 5. “Yea, Eastern might have won when the students played this year, but we'll even the slate for Tech,” sald Boyd. Boyd, the pitcher, who has been beaten both years by Eastern, has let it be known that he will once more try to check the Lincoln Park sluggers. Z. M. Zearfoss again will catch. Zearfoss has declared his throwing arm in good trim, but admitted. that he had secretly been taking stomach exercises to fortify himself against any of Boyd’s shoots that might get through his glove. Mal Edwards will be at first base for Tech with Hap Hardell at second, despite that his exhibition thers last season stamped him as infinitely a better coach than ball player; Leonard Brown will be at shortstop, Albert Pig- gott, at third base, and Tom Williams, Harry Benner and Jim Clark in the outfield. Tech’s “team” will not practice, be- cause if it did, none of the players gu:ld be in shape for the game, sai yd. ‘When informed: today that Tech was confident of humbling Eastern Friday, Charles M. (Chief) Guyon, the Lincoin Parker's stellar hurler, who pitched the nine to victory over the McKinley out- fit both last year and th> year before, and will again essay the job, said that team was not & bit worried. “Let 'em come.
