N B3 Griffs Home, Battle Yanks Tomorrow : Southpaw Pitchers Rule Major Leagues JONES AND BURKE HOLIDAY HURLERS Youngster Promised Regular Starting Berth if He Comes Through. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ACK on their home lot again the Nationals tomorrow are to begin their defense of the second position they now hoid in the league race. Right off | the reel they will carry the fight| to the club at their heels, Manager Joe McCarthy's New York bunch. The next three days the Yanks will be tussling here, four games, being on the schedule. | Two tilts are listed for tomorrow aft- ernoon, the Memorial double-header beginning at 1:30 o'clock. There will be one game: Sunday, and on Monday the clubs will dispose of the argument | started here April 28, when they strug- gled through 14 innings to & tle. Age and youth are to share the pitch- ing burden in the holiday twin bill. | Manager Walter Johnson is to send | Sam Jones against the Yanks in one of the games. The veteran, who suffered his first defeat of the season only last Tuesday in Boston, usually does a good job of hurling against the New Yorkers, and he is in particularly good form | now. For the other engagement, the pitching assignment will go to Bob Burke, youngster, who has done well in relief roles thus far. | It will be the first start of the year | for the string bean: southpaw. For | some time Marpger Johnson has con- templated employing Bob as a starter, but the pitcher had to be ussd so fre- quently to take over games in which other hurlers failed that no starting spot could be found for him. Burke is in splendid trim at present, though, and Johnson is rather confident the young left-hander will give a good account of himself. Should Burke make a creditable | showing in his work tomorrow, Johnson says he will be elevated to a regular berth on the starting staff. INCE April 20 the Nationals have | been in 24 ball games, all but 2 on foreign lots, and their record for | this stretch of contests is a good one. Victories were scored in 15 of the games, | 14 of the wins being scored on the fields of the opposition. | The West was soundly trounced, the Nationals taking 9 of 11 engagements in that sector of the circuit. Against | Eastern rivals the Washington club did ot do so well, losing 7 of 13 games. New York and Boston proved stum- bling blocks for the Johnson band. Three of the eight games with the Red Sox and three of the four games with the Yankees played since April 29 were dropped, while the Nationals howed to the Athietics in ihe only tilt with them this month. D LISKA, after having his pitching | wing treated for almost & month | still has to convince Manager | Johnson he is ready for service on the hill. The underhand hurler was used | in batting practice yesterday in Bosten | and his throwing was not so impressive. Liska unfortunately suffered a setback shortly after he rejoined the Nationais in the West, a batted ball badly bruis-| ing his right arm. The limb was so sore for several days ihe pitcher could not go through any workouts. How- ever Ad has had plenty of time since Lo get the arm in good working order, 8o his manager thinks, and Johnson felt the pitcher shculd have been able to display a little more in a hurling way than he did in yesterday's drill. Liska claims his arm is as sound as ever, that there isn't a trace remaining of the ghoulder soreness that incapacitated him while the club Wi training down South. But he hasn't satisfled John- son that he is “nfl}"' HILE the Nationals are at ‘home W the veteran Sam Rice may rest for | a time, while the vounger Harry Rice takes care of the right field post. Sam has not been going any too well recently and Johnson has an idea & short lay-off might do the old war hors: a great deal of good. Should Harry be sent to the outfleld, the Nationals' de- fense would not be hurt in any way and if the younger Rice happened to splurge at bat as he did while subbing for Sam West_early in the campaign the club’s attack would be greatly benefiter. ETTING to Danny ‘MacFayden in G three innings yesterday the Na- tionals licked the Red Sox, 4 to 3, to give them three of four games in Bosto wins in the serles n. They got & d hits off Danny, cl ix(\,utx}:e third, fourth and fifth frames lustering_eight g S, T e wder started for the Johnson Al Crowder s bunch and looked much better on the hill than in his other starts this sea- son. But the General gradually lost his “stuff” and after he was whacked for a single by Muddy Ruel at the out- | set of the seventh inning he gave way to Irving Hadley. The Red Sox got six hits and all their ryns off Crowder. Off | Hadley they got but two passes. Bump | was fast and the home side knocked only one of his pitches by the infield. There were two homers hit in the game, one by Joe Kuhel and one by | Earl Webb, the demon slugzer of the Red Sox. Kuhel's was a drive that Janded against the foul line pole at the right field corner. It came in the fourth inning and tied the game. Webb's was & mighty loft over the fence back of left center. It came in the sixth and was the last Red Sox ple and Rothrock’s hoist to left gave the Boston club a first inning tally and after two were out in the second session Oliver's double and Ruel's single netted it another marker. Three singles scored for Washington in the third, Manush driving Myer across after two were out. After Kuhel's homer knotted affairs in the furth, the Nationals continued the | pttack upon MacFayden in the flflhi for two more runs. Four singles did the trick, Cronin and West hitting after two were out to drive runners to | the plate. ANAGER COLLINS revised the Red Sox line-up for the final game of the series—he benched Sweeney, moved Van Camp from left to first base and sent half-pint Gene Rye to the outfleld. Van Camp made a sparkling stop of Myer's scorcher in the third and flagged Crowder trying for second. Kuhel looked good getting Rye's foul in the fourth. He had to dash to .the bleacher barrier for the catch. Manush became ill in the fifth | and had to give way to Harry Rice. Nothing serious. Kuhel's triple in the sixth was a gift from Webb. The right- fielder circled under the ball then raised his arms to protect his head. The ball bounded off his hands to the right field corner. That homer of Webb's in the sixth was a powerful hit, especially for a left-hand batter. The ball cleared the 40-foot fence back of left-center with plenty to spare. MacFayden had two strikes against him when he put down a nifty sacrifice in the seventh. Cronin made a dandy play to end the game. He dug up pinch.batter Winsett's hot one in deep short and got the ball to Myer in the nick of time for & force-out of Ruel. run.

Dick Daviscourt still is touchy around that sore jaw where an irate Baltimore fan landed his fist and kayoed the husky Californian, so Hyatt kept planting a stinging, hand on the sore jowl. It went over big for a while until Davis- court secured a stranglehold. Cyclone Burns broke it, but nary a fan took a sock at Daviscourt and, acting some- what disappointed because he was to get no revenge on a cash customer, Dick flipped Hyatt in 22 minutes. ILL LUCK, as he is called in St. Louis (he's Tiger Nelson here), | was lucky the chairs were nailed down in the auditorium, for- following his rough 161,-minute victory over Taro Mayake about half of the 4,000 fans threw everything heavable at the aged “Tigah.” None, however, found their mark. Son Jennings surprised with a slash- ing 8-minute win over Firpo Wilcox. The improved Indian flying tackled Wilcox into submission. Babe Caddock and George Tragos went to a draw, 30 minutes. In the opener, Mario Giglio and Al Bakhsh, both Washingtonians, went to a creditable 15-minute deadlock. ASHINGTON wrestling fans will not see Billy Bartush, the popu- lar young Lithuanian, for at least six_months, if ever again. He thrown recently by Rudy Dusek with the rocking split and fol- lowing another match last week at Syracuse, it was learned that Bartush was severely ruptured and is suffering from an enlarged heart. Paul Jones, another strong local favorite, narrowly escaped having his | leg amputated last week and doubt was expressed as to whether he will be able | to wrestle for some time.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. CCORDING to the records compiled so far, it 1s very much of a southpaw’s year in big league pitching. The left-handers usually are considered a wild lot, sometimes very good, but more often very bad. But this season about a half dozen pitchers who deliver from the portside are right up among the leaders in the mound depart- ment, and three of them hold a complete monopoly on the top pesitions in the standings. K Ed Brandt of the Boston Braves has won eight games in a row, taking & hard earned decision from the New York Giants yesterday by a 7 to 6 score to keep his record clear of defeat.

NEIL, Associzted Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, May 29.—A sur- geon’s knife probing into the antra in big Ed Brandts cheek bones cured & chronic sinus condition last Winter and made a $100,000 pitcher out of the Boston Braves crack southpaw. ‘That valuation on Brandt's serv- ices is set by Bill McKechnie, crafty pilot, who has lifted the Braves in a couple of seasons from the foot of the National League to a position of respect in the eyes of all pennant contenders. “I could trade the big lefty for a pretty good ball “club,” says . “But what I need is more like him, not less. “Brandt was always a good pitch- er,” McKechnie explained, “but for two seasons he’s sick. A sinus infection poisoned system. He had everything he has today except the strength to keep using it.” “Yep,” saild Brandt, a big, quiet, werful fellow who looks as though e'd never been sick a day in his life, “I'm feeling good again. I've picked up 15 pounds since the sur- geons got throu Winter in ::: it makes all the difference in ‘world. Brandt explains that it doesn't matter how much stuff a pitcher has. He can't get along without the re- serve strength to call on in the late innings of a close ball game. When every pitch counts and one faltering moment means a game lost. Brandt didn't have that extra stamina last year. As a result he had to quit try- ing to stayt games. He became & re- lief pitcher and over the span of the entire season won only four times. Now he has won eight straight, taming the Giants yester- day for the third time. The left-hander, whose pitching so far this season would make any one of four clubs in the league a standout_ contender, came up to the Braves in the Spring of 1928 from Seattle in the Pacific Coast League. His home is in Spokane and he went to Seattle from the sand lots of the home town. Until this season opened and Brandt _started his . spectacular splurge, his chief claim {o°fame was ility to best the Brookiyn Robins. Sick or well, the Robins all looked alike to But now he’s a whole ball club in Bill McKechnie’s eyes. And a pretty good one at that. LYON i LS. JULLIEN, Inc. 1443 P St N.W.
