B—6 Griffs Reporied Angling for Lazzeri : Pari-Mutuel Legal War Is CE IN A LIFETIME.—By WEBSTER YANKS SEEN READY TO SHP INFELDER - Change Likely Would Help Tony—Uhle Bests Jones in 11-Inning Duel. BY JOHN B. KELLER. NTHONY MICHAEL LAZ-| ZERI, the “Poosh 'Em Up| Tony” of the Yankzes, is being sought by the Wash- ington base ball club, reports fil- tering in from New York indicate, although no official of the Nation- als has intimated negotiations for the infielder are in progress. | It is understood that Manager | Joe McCarthy of the New York| club, having been at odds with Lazzeri since the start of the sea- son, would not be loath to part| with the player and that Wash-l ington's bid for him probab)y‘ would receive much consideration. Althcugh Lazzeri has not been enjoy- ing a succersful seacon with the Yanke doubtless he still is a good base ball player, and very likely would show to better, advantage wearing other than a ¢ York uniform. Tony puts up his best game at second base, but he was | used at third base much of last season and has been there most cf the current campaign. His e¢mployment at the far corner instead of at second, where he is more efficient, is said to be one of the causes of his differences with Manager McCarthy. Although Lazzeri has hit far down in | the .200's this season, and only recently was benched for a time because cf his weak batting, he has a major league carcer bat.ing average of around .310, including this year's stickwork. From 1927 through 1930, both years inclusive, | Lazzeri had .300 batting seasons. | Tony is only in his 27th year, for he | t 21 when he came up to ! s from the Salt Lake Oity club of the Pacific Coast League in 1926. He was employed both at shorstop and second base during his first two seasons with the Yankeées, but in the '28 and '20 campaigns he was at sccond regularly . and proved a brilllant fielder at that * post. i Acquiring Lazzeri might help the Na- “tionals considerably. = N/ OUNG pitchers who appear to have much natural ability, and shculd possess the strength to enable them | to go a route in a ball game oftener | than they do, may find it not so easy to | “alibi” their failures after that fine ex- hibition of the mound art in which Sam Jones and George Uhle collaborated yesterday in Griffith Stadium. The ages of Jones and Uhle combined total 72 years. The years of thir big league service combined total 29. Jones is six years older and has been in_the big show five years longer than Uhle, but Uhle, lik> Jones, may well be reckoned a “man of yesterday,” as those of the diamond profession’ term the veterans. Yet these old-timers each put forth 11 innings of finer pitching than most of the much young:r hurlers, despite their greater stamina, are ac- customed to put forth in nine or less innings. That Jones lost is not to his discredit. The Tigers got the cne break of a game in which it was realiz:d early a break was necessary for victory, o | finely matched were these masters of the pifching slab. | HAT one break, which meant & | 1-to-0 victory for the Tigers, end- ing_their second eight-game losing streak of the season, came at the outset of the eleventh inning. Then one of Jones' pitches struck Hubby Walker on the hip, automatically putting that Tiger on first base. Mechanical base ball did the rest. Marvin Owen sacri- ficed: Walker moved up to third as Jonathan Stone grounded to Kuhel, and | scored when Roy Johnson. up for the | fifth time, skidded & single to right| il i d. Before that Jones had been found for | only four hits, and only once had been | in any real danger of having a run scored against him. Stone had singled | with two out in the eighth, and Marty | McManus had made a one-baser with two out in the fourth. Jones had , walked McManus at the start of the been stranded on first. 5 = though, the Tigers got two infield sin- gles, and for the only time in the game | the Italians Wednesday night. SPORTS.

NEW YORK, June 6 (P.—Yale’s crack polo team will be forced to over- ccme a handieap of nine or more goals in every match it plays in the intercol- legiate champlonships, starting June 13, at the Rockaway Hunting Club on Long Island. Anncuncement of the line-ups and handicaps of the six ccmpeting teams revealed that Yale will be burdened with a 20-goal handicap, even without Stewart Iglehart, a seven-goal man, on the fleld. Iglehart will be used only in an emergency. Princeton, rated at 11 goals, leads the other contenders in potential strength. ‘The University of Oklahoma and Penn- sylvania Military College have been rated at 10 goals each, Harvard at nine goals and the United States Military Academy at six. The University of Oklahoma had not been rated at all until its entry in the tournament, but they goal players at No. 1 and No. 3 and three-goal men at the other positions. As intercollegiate games are pl at six periods instead of the regulati eight, a deduction of 25 per cent will be made in the handicap totals of each team. now have two- | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Debonis of Boston took the first round, but the Italian, Dallorto, won the last two.

The ball arrived too late, but Myer's relay to Spencer got John- #on, desperately trying to score from second on the infleld hit, at the plate. HOSE five hits off Uhle were spread over as many inrings and only once did the Nationals have as many as two runners on at one time, so effective was the big Tiger hurler. That was in the first inning. A wild throw by Owen that Uhle, covering first base, couldn't grab gave Heinie Manush life. Then Cronin singled to send Heinie to gecond, but McManus threw out Sam West. Jones singled at the start of the third @ond never got past first base. Spencer singled with one out in the fifth, then od still.

A lot of managers have been trailing Flynn, trying to get him to turn professional, but he wants to box as an amateur yn the Olympics, and besides he has twb more years at Loyola. Cronin, Gehrig, Kle!s and Arlett are the hitters in the big leagues who are knocking in the runs, a most useful accomplishment. Men left ca the bases are no asset to the total score.

Following hard on the purchase of Clarence Walker from the Spartanburg Club, Scout Mike Kahoe has bought Pitcher Carl Cashion from the Greenville, S. C., team. Cashion must have made a good impression on Kahoe, for it is reported $2,500 was paid for him. Joe Jackson, the most-talked-of player in the league besides Ty Cobb, was to make his first appearance here this afternoon with the Cleve- land nine. The Doyle brothers, Conrad B. and Harold E., captured the men's doubles yesterday in the Chevy Chase tennis tournament, defeating G. P. Parkes and E. P. Grosvenor in the final round and then winning in the challenge round through the default of Wallace Johnson and L. E. McMahon. Careless base running by Flynn cost Ingram a fine chance to beat Sherwood yesterday in a Sunday School Base Ball League game which ended in a 7-7 tie. the score on Dodge's error. and Porter pitched for Sherwood and Ligon, Eastern High stalwart, hurled for Ingram. l
