LOUIS, July 1.—Hoping to S salvage more from the wreckage of this| second Western trip, Natiortals were to have on the pitching hill this afternoon the veteran Fred Marberry. Coming back to the slab during this tour, after a long lay-off as a starter because of a leg injury suffered in New York May 23, Fred has hurled one gocd game and an- other not so good, although he was credited with victory in both. Manager Johnson, however, fig- ured the big Texan might have something up his right sleeve to check the Browns. Marberry was to be opposed by an- other veteran, Sam Gray. It was Gray who handed 'the Nationals their oniy defeat in four games when they visited St. Louls in May. Later they gave him 8 sound drubbing in Washington. when they drubbed Gray the Nationals were playing high-class ball and get- ting good pitching. There's little good about their playing or pitching at pres- ent. This has been a dismal tour for the ‘Washington ‘pitchers. Those hurlers, who performed so brilliantly while on their home lot early this month, are not doing any hurling of championship brand now. During the Nationals' last home stand in 19 games starting pitch- ers went the route 11 times. Out this way in 14 games starters have gone the route but 3 times. the | | evey” s | Blaenclder.

HICAGO, Jyly 1 (#).—The horses will run against electrical timing at Hawthorne track next month. An electrical chronometer is being installed in the stewards’ stand and will be given a trial during the Sum- mer meeting, which starts August 3.

Under the present timing system the Bahr gate which releases the Tacers is set back of the exact start- ing point and a flagman signals the timer when the leading horse reaches it. With the electrical timer a push- button will start the device when the leading horse reaches the true starting point.

The Browns collected 13 hits, 8 off | Fischer and the remainder off Bob Burke, who pitched three rounds. The issue was settled in the first frame, when the Browns got four hits for as many runs, the big blow being a homer by Goose Goslin with two on. It was a great day for the “Goose,” as he got four hits all told. Burke also was hit for a homer, Jim Levy socking one in the eighth session. IGHT off the reel the Browns made the afternoon more uncomfort- able for Fischer than had the ter- rific heat. After Schulte, first up in the home side's initial ba!ling turn, walked, Melillo cracked & single and Goslin, with a three and two count. lofted the ball over ‘the right-field stand to give the Browns three ‘runs.

Thus the stage was set for a double theft in which Levy tallied and Schulte reached the middle sack. Levy did not seem to need any help to get home, but if he had Cronin would have provided it with a poor return of Hargraves' throw. Goslin came through with his third hit, a single bounced off-Myer's hand to right to put Schulte over the count- ing block. ‘To add insult to injury, the very weak-hitting Levy hoisted a homer into the left-field bleachers at the start of the eighth inning.

O the bout at Cleveland mcans noth- ing at all as far as the New York State Boxing Commission is con- cerned. It is just a private fight, a street brawl, as it were. The winner may be the heavyweight champion as far as the world is concerned, but in New York he will be just another prize- fighter. The realization that the winner of the Schmeling-Stribling thing cannot have his name carved on the base of the Muldoon-Tunney Trophy might not annoy him a whole lot, if he saw pros- pects of a million-dollar gate looming up in one of the other States. I understand that the Naticnal Box- ing Association will present to the win- ner of the Schmeling-Stribling thing a nice new belt which will have “Heavyweight Champion” engraved on | it. That should console him for mnot having his name on the Muldoon-Tun- ney trophy. > The National B:xing Association might go even further. It might decide to have a bigger and better trophy than the Muldoon-Tunney trophy &nd might carve the name of the winner of the Schmeling-Stribling bout on it. Or it might even go further. It might arrange to carve the name of the win- ner of this bout cn Stone Mountain. If Stribling should win the bout this might be arranged with very little trouble. Of course, if Schmeling hap- pened to be the winner there would be no popular sentiment jn the South for )‘l‘h name being carved on the moun- in. Herr Schmeling would have to content himself with the champion's end of any and all purses. If these happened to run to anything like the smount,ac- cumulated by his immediate predeces- sors, Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Tunney, he probably would be quite contented. I Jack Sharkey, the defending cham- pion, es he is called by the New York Stete Boxing Commission, is ce- ending his title against Mr. Mickey Wa'ker Mr. Walker, it seems, has t-ssed acide the middleweight title, which was his by claiming. This, of course, will cause complications in the middleweight division. It creates & vacancy into which one of the middle- weights will be anxious to move.
