MR, WHINNY EW YORK, June 18.—Al Singer, ASKED AWITNESS WHAT HE KNEW IN 24 0F 2T TILTS Harris Again Great Help as St. Louis Is Whipped for Twelfth Straight. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, Ohio, June 18. —Still with their Western |{ “cousins,” that they have licked 24 times in 27 starts this season, and enthused by a vic- | Brown tory streak that has run to a dozen games, the Nationals look forward to another successful in- vasion of the American League's inland sector. The West has put them where | Rl they are today—in second place and two-and-one-half games back of the pace-making Athletics—so Johnson’s charges have good rea- #on to expect a fine tour. ‘When out this way last month the Nationals played only 11 games, three being washed into this month by rain. ‘This time they are booked for 17 en- gagements with their Western rivals, five with the Indians here, four with the Tigers in Detroit, five with the ‘White Sox in Chicago and three with the Browns in St. Louis. Double- headers are to be played here and in Detroit and Chicago. The players are happy over having no St. Louis post- ponement to get rid of in torrid Sports- |82 men's Park. ‘The double bill here is scheduled for Saturday, the Indians figuring such scheduling good business. Only one tilt tomorrow 4nd Manager Walter Johnson has picked for the pitching job the veteran Sam Jones. It seems that Sam is in fine fettle once more—he admits it himself—and Sam always | likes to stack up against the Tribe any- | H: way. ' A NOTHER one of those nerve-wreck- ing finishes marked the closing yesterday of the Nationals’ home stand. After going into a fair lead, the Washington club had its pitching 80 bloole, but it had enough in reserve after the Browns had risen to a tle ‘with eighth and ninth inning rallies to win at the wire, 8 to 7. Dave Harris again helped in getting the victory. He opened the ninth with his third hit of the day, a single. Sam Rice, with plenty of foot, was sent in to run for Dave, but Sam was snuffed at second when Sammy West tried to sacrifice. However Ossle Bluege poled the ball to deepest right center for a triple that put over the big tally. Al Crowder, Lloyd Brown and Fred Marberry did the flinging for the Na- tionals. Crowder’s work was spotty from the start and he was relieved by Brown in the eighth. Brown, too, was unsteady and gave way to Marberry in the same inning when there was much Jockeying of batters by Manager Killi- fer. Pred was bumped in the ninth for the tie, but got credit for the win at_that. Walter Stewart, southpaw, who used to be plain poison to the Nationals, hurled seven innings for the Browns and was well punished. A pinch batter ousted him, so Dick Coffman came on to_take the beating. How spotty was the pitching on both sides is seen in the batting totals of the clubs. Each got 16 safsties. ROWDER'S stuff was well liked by the Browns in the first inn‘ng and they chalked up three markers. Two were out when Goslin walked, then came singles by Kress, Ferrell and Mc- Neely and a double by Burns to produce the scores. ‘This block of counters was matched by the Nationals in their batting turn. A wild heave by Levey vut Spencer on first base at the outsst of the inning. Crowder singled and Myer beat out a bunt to Burns, crowding the bases. WManush's one-baser scored Spencer. Then came long flies by Cronin and Marris to get Crowder and Myer over the plate. One was out in the fourth frame when the Nationals scored again. Kuhel got a double with a looper to short right that dropped among McNeely, Schulte @nd Melillo. Only by a fine burst of speed did Joe reach the middle sack ahead of Schulte's throw. Spencer picked this spot to pole a single to cen- ger and Kuhel raced home. Two more Washington scores were yegistered in the seventh. Manush opened the attack with a double drive into the right field cor Cronin got a single with a bunt along the third- base stripe. Harris slammed to left center and Manush and Cronin reached the counting block. Dave, trying to make a tr.ple of his hit, was flagged going into third by Melillo's relay of Goslin's return. Only a marvelcus catch by West pre- wvented the Browns overhauling the Na- tionals in the eighth. Then, after Cronin’s error put Kress on first Crow- der weakened and McNeely's hit fol- Jowing Ferrell's walk put over & run. Brown then took up the pitching and two pinch batters sent in by Manager Killifer got on the runway.. Ferrell, over-! g third, was snared when Grimes got an infield hit, but a pass to Bettencourt filled the bases. Here O'Rourke, a right-hand swinger, was substituted for Stewart, so Manager Johnson countered by removing his left-hand hurler and sending Marberry to the slab. That caused Killifer to withdraw O'Rourke and send the left- hand swinging Jenkins up to the plate. Jenkins swung mightily and sent the ‘ball soaring toward deepest ~center. Back went West at the crack of the bat and while on a dead run he his gloved hand high in the air for a back-hand grab of the ball. Had it eluded Sammy three runs would have crossed, possibly four. As it was Mc- Neely counted easily and with West so Levey, Btewart," 5.

By the Associated Press. SCOT, England, June 18.—Gen. Charles Lambton's Trimdon to- day won the Ascot Gold Cup, blue ribbon event of the Ascot racing season and one of the most gruelling races run on the flat in Eng- land, from nine other British, French and American owned horses. Trimdon was ridden by J. Childs, King George's jockey, who was loaned to Gen. Lambton fcr the race. ‘The race is at 2'2 miles. Lord Glanely's Singapore was second and Mrs. Arthur James’ Salmon Leap was third. A. K. Macomber’s Brumeux, the only American entry, was unplaced. The prized gold cup, which has a value of $2,500, carries with it a purse of $17,500. Headed by the royal family, the lead- ers of English society were out for the race in full force, viewing the contest from flower bedecked boxes along the finish line. Trimdon won by a nose from Singa- pore, with Salmon Leap some five or six_lengths back in third place. Gen. Lambton's colt was 3 to 1 in Pt | the betting, with Singapore 6 to 1 and Salmon Leap 100 to 8. The last outstanding American entry for the famous cup was Reigh Count, which was brought over in 1929 after a victorious campaign on the other side, % | but the big red colt of Mrs. John Hertz 4| could do no better than socond. It was a perfect racing day, with a | bright sun shining down from a cloud- less sky on the fine frocks and milli- 32 | nery of the royal court. ATTACK ON LANDIS RENEWED BY BALL Owner of Browns Carries Decision in Bennett Case to Circuit Court of Appeals. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 18.—The authority of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissicner of base ball, was attacked anew yesterday by a major league club and its minor league farm. Attorneys for Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis club of the American League and also owner of the Milwaukee club of the American Association, carried the fight on Landis to the Court of Ap- peals. _ Docketed without accompanying briefs was an appeal from the decision of Federal Judge Walter Lindsey, up- holding Landis in the case involving Fred Bennett, a first baseman with Milwaukee. Judge Lindsey held that Commissioner Landis acted within his authority in declaring Benett a free agent after St. Louls had farmed him out to the Milwaukee Brewers.

HICAGO, June 18.—Spanish Play, from the stable of Morris and Knebelkamp, will be the ‘West's chief hope Saturd 7 in ths $50,000 American Derby at './ash- ington Park, most open of the season’s 3-year-old races. Sweep All, Charles T. Fisher's crack colt, was withdrawn yesterday, after bowing a tendon in the Derby trial csday, removing the West's outstand- entrant. Sweep All finished second to ‘Twenty Grand in the Kentucky Derby, and his work in recent Washington Park races stamped him as a big pos- sibility, with Mrs. Whitney's champion out of the event. . Spanish Play won the Louisiana Der- by and took fourth money in the Ken- tucky Derby. He finished third in the Derby trial, which was won by Boys Howdy. Mate Is Popular. ° Mate, A. C. Bostwick's winner of the Preakness, probably will go to the post the favorite. The colt ran an impres- sive mile and an eighth in 1:5525 and appeared to have plenty left. Sun Meadow, which ran second to Twenty Grand in the Belmont Stake Saturday and finished ahead of Jamestown, | regarded as a certain starter and will have backing. Others regarded as certain to go the post are Ladder, Lightning Bolt, Boys Howdy, Knights Call, | Morpheus and Pittsburgher. ities are No More, Don Leon, Bibb, Sunny Lassle, Scotland’ Abdel and Prince D’Amour.
