A. Meet HAMMER CARAWAY TOBAG TITEARLY Slam Frasier and Braxton Also—Fischer Does Well After Rocky Start. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HEIR bats swinging freely the Nationals yesterday re- sumed their winning ways ¥ Griffith Stadium for the first time this season. The opener of the four-game series was bagged, 7 to 3, the Johnson band thereby sticking at the heels of the world | champions Athletics, who scored easily over the tottering Tigers. Fourteen safeties leaped from the Washington willows with every man in | the line-up except Sam Rice, who | went in as a pinch-runner in the eighth inning and did not get a chance at the plate, hitting. The issue was quickly settled, for after spotting the White Sox two runs, the Nationals stepped out with vigor and had the game in hand before the third inning ended. Carl Fischer, the nifty lefty, who has done much to help the Nationals' cause this season, did the flinging against the White Sox and a good job | he made of it. Eight hits spread over | five rounds and two bases on balls were given up by Fischer. Neither of | the passes nor the balk he made did the visitors any good. The White Sox jumped on him in the first inning as v would send him to the y, but he steadied quickly rocky start and finished as the White Sox invaded K strongly. Scoge on Southpaws. The Nationals faced three of Donie Chicago ....... | Washington " | off Braxton, 3 in 2 MACKNEN SWAWP TIERS BY 11705 Bush’s mound staff, two of them south- paws. It was off these left-handers | the scoring was done. Pat Caraway. | v lad with the pump-handle | very, started for the White Sox, but | was lifted before the third innirg was | over. Six hits and as many runs were gleaned off him. Victor Frasier, a | Tight-hander, then hurled through the sixth inning damaged only to the ex- | tent of five safetiez. Garland Braxton, who once left-handed for th= Nationals, | finished and was touched for three hits end a tally. Two runs were picked up by the White Sox in their first batting turn, but only one was earned. Blue began the attack by walloping Fischer's first pitch to left for two bases. Watwood | followed with a deep fly to Harris that sent Lu to third then rified one that Cronin scooped up | and threw to Spencer. The Washington catcher sta Blue tearing home from third, but neglected the formality of putting the | ball on the runner. Blu: missed the | plate with his slide, but Spencer tossed the ball to Fischer after making the futile stab so the prone slider reached out to touch home with his hand and Umpire Ormsby waved him safe. That Tun meant an error for Spencer. Fothergill surprised the Nationals by fumbering down the path for a theft of second base from where he counted when Fonseca rapped a two-bagger to left. Here Fischer got himself together and the White Sox were quieted while the home side piled up a sizeable count. Bluege's Hit Brings Tie. It was a blow by Bluege that pushed up the Nationals to a tie in their first batting turn. Myer opened the inning by dragging a bunt by Caraway for & single, but Manush hoisted cut and Cronin_was erased by the visiting in- fleld. Caraway couldn't find the plate when pitching to Harris and West, however, and passes filled the bases. Bluege stepped up to look at two strikes g0 by, then he rammed a single to cen- ter that got Myer and Harris over the counting block. Kuhel got on at the outset of the Washington second, when hit by one of Caraway's pitches, and that opened the way to a tie-shattering tally. Fischer romptly sacrificed and Myer's second El'. a single, chased across the score. The third was a three-run round for | g the Nationals, sewing up the game. Harris singled, and checked in at sec- ond as West grounded out. Bluege walked. Spencer's loft did not help, but Harris tallied and Bluege reached third when Kuhel looped a one-baser to short left. On the throw to the plate following his hit Kuhel made second, and scored with Bluege as Fischer poled a long single to center. PFischer's wallop chased Caraway from the game. Frasier, the relief hurler, was immediately nicked for a single by Myer, but Manush became the third out when his loft was bagged by Fother- gill, The Nationals got two more hits off Frasier in the fourth, and two were made in the sixth, but these were wasted. Harris' Error Helps Chisox. 1t was an error by Harris that let the White Sox get a third run seventh session. Two were out when Watwood poked a single to right. Har- ris let the ball go through him, and Watwood was not stopped until he had | reached third base. Then Fothergill singled a run over. ; Braxton gave up the Nationals® last marker in the eighth. Manush, who had gone hitless in four trips to the plate, began the inning with a triple, a fine hit fo right-center. Cronin fanned, but when Harris topped a ball in front of the plate Manuch raced in and slid neatly under Braxton's throw to the catcher.

Brown, Lyons Slated to Hurl HERE should be plenty of first- class pitching in Griffith Sta- dium this afternoon when Na- tionals and White Sox hcok up in the second game of their series of four. Both managers in their overnight selections named mound topnotchers. The left-handed Lloyd Brown was Manager Johnson's choice, while Man- ager Bush nominated the right-handed Ted Lyons. B Brown, due to rugged treatment by Trainer Martin, has been relieved of the Koo | arm soreness he felt after last Sunday’s tussle with the Yankees, and that did | not permit him to take a turn on the hill against the Tigers. Lyons, because of an ailing arm. has | not done much pitching this vear, but | the salary wing is said to be in splendid | | ccndition now. He did a fine plece of ' hurling with_it last week against the Athletics in Philadelphia. HAT the Washington club is inter- ested in Tony Lazzeri, Yankee in- fielder, is admitted by Clark Grif- fith, president of the Nationals, but Griffith says no deal is pending. He discussed with Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yankees the possibility of bying Tony or trading for him when the New York club was in town last week. Griffith belleves Lazzeri would he use- ful to the Natlonals, both as a fielder and hitter. He regards the player as siill a good batter, despite the slump Tony has been in since the start of the season. The Washington prexy has lines out for others than Lazzeri. With little time left for intra-league deals—the Nationals can't procure players from other clubs in the circuit except by the waiver rcute after June 15—Griffith is prepared to take advantage of any op- portunity to help the club that may | come his way. Waiver requests also are closely scanned by the Nationals’ boss. He will let nothing get away from the league that the Washington club may want. It is understood the club president angled recently for Marty McManus and Waite Hoyt, infielder and pitcher, re- spectively, of the Tigers. Waivers on McManus were requested, but the re- quest was withdrawn by the Detroit club after several rival outfits claimed Marty. There was some discussion of a deal for Hoyt while the Tigers were in town last week, according to information from a Detroit source. The Washington club officials have nothing to say of this, however. ASHINGTON'S cripples are pretty lively these days.

According to Trainer Martin and the | pitcher himself, Marberry will be avail- able for service within two or three days. Fred has been working out daily | for a week and the poundags he picked up when idling right after he hurt his leg in New York has been lost. His arm declares. Judge was in uniform and on the bench during yesterday's game for the first time since his operation. Joe had donned the uniform to go through light at game time. It was Friday's defeat by the Tigers that put Joe on the bench yesterday, he said. “The first game 1 saw after getting out last month resulted in a win for Washington,” Joe announced. “I wasn't in uniform then and the other | games I watched from the stands were won by Washington until Friday's. With the spell broken I decided I might as well keep on the uniform after my practice and look at the zame from the dugout.” when he stepped to the plate to hand Umpire Ormsby the card bearing the Washington line-up. It was the first e Judge had performed this duty captain of the Nationals since May 1, the day he was stricken in Boston. ATWOOD got & lucky hit 'n the third inning yesterday. The White Sox batter ducked a close pitch only to have his bat top the ball. The sphere rolled along_the first-base line and Watwood beat Fischer's throw to the sack. Kuhel's single in the third was a pop to short left, just too far out for the White Sox third-sacker or shoristop to get to and too far in for Fothergill to grab. All three went after t! ball. Fothergill narrowly missed diving on his nose when he put on the brakes following a hard run. Fischer was charged with a balk in the fourth when he made a motion to throw to first base, occupied by Cissell, d failed to follow with the heave. Manager Bush, on the coaching line, yelled “balk,” Umpire Ormsby agreed with the pilot and Cissell was waved down to second. ARRIS became too ambitious in the fourth and tried to make 2 dou- ble of a hit to right. H: was caught by a wide margin. Dave, in the game because the White Sox started a southpaw pitcher, had a good day at bat. He walked, then hit three singles in succession, and finally topped a ball in front of the plate to get Manush home in the eighth. That done, Harris gave way to Sam Rice. Bluege showed the fans some flashy third-basing in the sixth inning. He scooped up with one hand Eichrodt's hot one and threw deftly to flag his man. In the seventh Bluege was a victim of a fine bit of fielding by JefIries, the White Sox hot-corner guardian. Ossie skidded one across the grass that looked & sure hit, but Jeffries lunged, made a one-hand pick-up, and while off bal- runner. Wrm two on in the seventh Fischer tried three times to sacrifice. All the bunting was of the foul variety, 80 Carl was automatically retired when the third trial went blooey. Manager Bush sent three pinch-bat- ters into the fray, Appling, Kerr and Reynolds. Each hoisted to the outfield. Myer's three hits were made in suc- mve innings, the first, second and Prank Grube, a catcher the White Sox got from Buffalo last Winter, broke into the gamie because th:' Nationals were using a left-hand pitcher.

BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. TAGG FIELD, Chicago, June 6.—Bronzed athletes of the University of Southern Cali- fornia swept into the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion track and field championship today with a record smashing to- tal of 77 1-7 points. The Trojans, victorious in all their track and field battles this season, won overwhelmingly. Their nearest rival was Ohio State, which scored 31 1-7 points, with Illinois third with 28, Towa fourth with 26 1-7, and Indiana fifth with 26. Wisconsin was sixth with 23%. Mich- igan had 20 for seventh, while Iowa State and Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, finished in a tie for eighth with 16 points each. Forty-four of the 80 universities and colleges from 29 States scored in the table of points. The Californians, winners of the championship a year ago, hung up a new high point record today, eclipsing the previous record of 72 points estab- lished by Leland Stanford in 1929. The Trojans scored in 11 of the 15 events, | winning four championships and tieing | for another. | Two Records Broken. The meet resulted in two record- | breaking performances despite wretched | conditions. The cinder path was heavy | due to an all-night rain, and the field | was sogey and slippery. All afternoon | a mist and fog hung over Staff Field. | The Scuthern Californians won cham- pionships in the 100-yard dash and the 440-yard dash, on the track: the shot put and discus in the field, and tied for the pole vault in the air. Frank Wykofl, the Trojan sprinter, who twice has unofficially run the 100- yard dash in :09.4, conquered his Negro rival, Eddie Tolan of Michigan, world's | 100-vard dash champion. in a thrilling finish. beating him to the tape in :09.6. Wykoff's chest hit the tape only a few inches ahead of the flying Tolan. Vic Williams, intercollegiate quarter= mile champion, who last week tied Ted | Meredith's world record of :474, ran a | clever race t0 win the event for South- | ern California. He stayed back until | the stretch, then slipped up the inside | and, with a burst of speed, caught and | passed James Gordon of Miami Uni- versity to win by four yards in :48.3. Bob Hall was a double winner for the Trojans, with victories in the shot put and discus. ~William Graber, who cleared 14 feet 1, inch to the pole vault in the I. C. 4-A. meet last week, gained Southern California’s | share of a championship in this event. He tied with Tommy Warne of North- western, and Verne McDermont of Illi- nois, in clearing the bar at 13 feet 10 5-16 inches, to eclipse Warne's cld N. C. A. A. record of 13 feet 97 inches, hung up last year. After trailing Wykoff in the century, Tolan came back to run away from his field in the 220-yard dash. The Wol- verine won the event 4 yards ahead of Peyton Glass of Oklahoma Aggles. To- lan’s time was 21.5 seconds. Split Individual Honors. Individual honors were divided be- tween Jack Keller, Ohio States blond hurdler, and Hall, Trojan weightman, each of whom won two championships. Keller won the 120-yard high rur- dles in 14.6 seconds, and scored a lucky triumph in the 220-vard low hurdles | when Ernie Payne, Trojan star, stum- | bled over the last barrier and sprawled face forward on the cinders. Keller beat Bill Carls, another Trojan, in 23.8 seconds. Hall captured two titles for Southern California_with victaries in the shot put and discus throw. He tossed the shot 49 feet 9 inches. In the discus he won with a heave of 162 feet 7% inches. Dale Letts, University of Chicago, Big Ten half-miler champion, smashed the N. C. A. A. record for the event in the most thrilling distance race of the day. His time, 1:53.5, clipped six-tenths of a second off the record set by Orval Martin of Purdue a year ago. Letts ran his first quarter in 54 seconds. Chamberlain Repeats. Clark Chamberlain of Michigan State College, who won the 1930 intercolle- glate cross-country title, raced to an impressively easy triumph in the 2-mile, His time was 9:23. Kenneth Churchill of the University of California, America’s premier jave- lin thrower, was in a class by himself, flinging the spear 215 feet, nearly 15 feet better than the effort of O. E. Nel- son of Towa, who finished second. Ivan Dykeman of Colorado Aggies, was al- most as superior in the hammer throw, hurling the missile 162 feet 115 inches. Ed Gordon. Towa Negro, retained his broad jump title with a leap of 24 feet 11% inches, with L. E. Boyle, lone Uni~ versity of Pennsylvania entrant, second, 1% inches behind.
