SPORTS, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1931. Griffs Are Glad to PRIDE, PROSPECTS FOR FLAG SUFFER Hope to Do Better in East. Win Final on Road—Play Yankees Tomorrow. BY ITTSBURGH, July 3.—Out of the West's fiery furnace, but still sweltering, the Na- tionals anticipate better, if rot cooler, days in the East than they experienced in the section just left. Any change will be for the better, they figure, as nothing eould be more dismal than their recent tour of the American| League’s inland sector. Eight victories in sixteen starts was ' their best against a lot of clubs that had been soft pickings for them earlier in the campaign. The Johnson band | took but one of four series played. Not | onlv was the swing through the West | A blow to the Nationals’ pride, but also to their pennant prospects. Leaving home but two and a half games behin the league-leading Athletics, they once narrowed that gap to one game, then | hit the skids and are returning East three and a half games back of the pace-setters, who did none too well themselves. | ‘Will Go After Yanks. ‘They were hopeful of at least holdini their ground in the holiday tussling | tomorrow afternoon in New York. Two games are to be plaved with the Yan- | kees in Col. Jake Ruppert’s big plant | in_the Bionx, and Manager Walter Johnson has groomed for the occasion the right-handed Sam Jones and the left-handed Lioyd Brown. Both hurlers have proved effective against the Yanks. double win tomorrow. while it ‘would not make the record for this trip a particularly bright one for a club rated a pennant contender. might bol- | ster the morale of the Nationals, so| battered in the West that toward the end of their swing around the sector of the circuit they appearcd to expect | the worst whenever they took the field. The plight of the Nationals is such | that they need all the bolstering they | can get. g Club Is Fortunate. Their bats barren of hits much of the time and their pitchers that in | name only while in the West, the Na- | tionals perhaps were fortunate they | did not take a worce beating. Hitters, | who had been league scasations sud denly were transformed marks for the moundsme=u of the oppo- sition, while the Washington slab staff | hat had been rated the best balanced | the business lost most cf its cunning | as soon as it stepped on Western soil. But two regulars and on alternate out- ficlder managed to hit the ball scund enough to crash the .500 class in the battles with the Western clubs. Harry Rice, Ossie Bluege and Sam West did that well. Blueg: led the club in at- tack with an average or .328 in the 16 | games played. West hit .323 and Harry Rice hit .333, but was in seven games only. Joe Cronin, Heinie Manush, Joe Kuhel and Roy Spencer participated in | {o, all of the games in the West, but were unimpressiva at bat. Crcnin, hitherto the spark plug of the Washington ma- chine, slumped in every way. His hit- ting for the tour was at a rate of .267 only, a slump that seemed to take all the force out, of the Wasningt-n offen- #ive. Manush batted o .271, Kubhel, | .283 and Spencer .269. | Buddy Myer was woefully weak with the willow in the 15 games in which he played, getting an average of only 209, Dave Harris in nine games batted .265. Sam Rice in nine games showed Tittie strength, hitting for .286. }3.‘(1 Hargrave led the reserves with 500 picked up in parts of five games, | but Jack Hayes hit at only a .144 rate in three games. Capt. Joe Judge in one game ade no average only batted once. The pitchers hit for | 189, a club the Nationals batted for only 274 in the West. They did | their best hitting in Cleveland., where they averaged .301 in four games. In four tilts in Detroit they batted .284. They dropped to .266 in the five games in Chicago and in St. Louis in three they tapped the ball for therry was the only pitcher escape defeat in the West. He scored two wins in three starts, Sam nes started and lost two and so did Al Crowder. Al also relieved and won once. Lloyd Brown and Carl Fischer cach started three games, winning two | and losing one. Bob Burke, starting three times, won once and lost once. | ump Hadley lost a game after re- | lieving Marberry. ~ Given a bit more | batting support. though, the pitchers | might. have fared much’ better. They | had their weaknesses, however, ‘ N their parting fly at the Browns and the West the Nationals yesterday scored a 13-to-5 victory. Some help, with the Athletics losing to the Indians. | ‘That let the Johnson band pick up a | full game on the leaders. With the score 5 to 1 against them, the Nationals in the fifth suddenly bombarded the left- handed Walter Stewart, drove him from the hill in the sixth, when they went ahead, and continued the attack upon | Rolland _Stiles, = right-hander. Chad Kimsey hurled in the ninth and was cored on. The Johnson band collected | 14 hits, 6 off Stewart and as many | off_Stiles. Bob Burke opened fire against the Browns, but was wild and a target for | their bats. After being found for five | passes, four hits and four runs, he gave | way to Al Crowder in the third in- | ring, with two on and one out, Crowder | was found for a run in the fourth, then | ed and pitched well. Off him the Browns got six hits, session the Browns got to Burke for a tally. Betten- court forced out Ferrell, who had walked at the outset of the round, pulled up at third when Burns_hit for two bases and scored after Manush bagged Levey's long hoist. Three more St. Louis runs were hung up in the third, mainly because of Burke's wild- ness. With one out Goslin singled, then Kress and Ferrell drew passes that filled the bases. Bettencourt’s single sent over two tallies and moved Ferrell to third base. Burns' second hit, a single, put. across the third run of the round and ousted Burke. The Nationals chalked up a marker in the fourth with Manush’s double, Harris' force out of Cronin, who had walked, and Bluege's fly to Schulte in deep center. The Browns came right back, though, in their half of the inning to get a run off Crowder. Schulte’s two bagger, Meiillos’ sacrifice and Goslin’s single turned the trick. The fifth was a two-run inning for the Johnson band. With one out, Har- grave grabbed Spencer’s bat, strolled and checked in at second when Crow- der hit for a base. Hayes' double tal- lied Hargrave, and Crowder counted after Bettencourt caught Manush’s foul in the right-ficld corner. When Stewart developed a wild streak in the sixth, the Nationals forged ahead, and in do- ing so chased the southpaw from the slab. With one out, Harry Rice and Kuhel walked. Hargrave's double scored both to knot the game, and Crowder’s second single moved Red to the far cor- ner and eliminated Stewart. Hayes nicked the relieving pitcher, Stiles, for a long fly to Schulte, and Hargrave N the second | romped into short center in the sixth . Silver Spring Plans Record . Entry in Horseshoe Tourney ILVER SPRING is out to surpass in number of entries the record tournament it staged two years ago as a part of the metropolitan district horseshoe championships, sponsored by The Star. This year’s competition will open July 27. That’s the official opening date, but Silver Spring'’s pitchers will start a week earlier. Brooke Grubb, serving his second year as director- of play, has decided to run off the town title event early in order to permit a number of Silver Spring ringer throw- ers, including himself, to attend the Maryland National Guard encampment during the first two weeks in August. According to Brooke, a large percentage of Silver Spring's 'malte population, regardless of shoe-pitching ability, will take part. “The more dubs we get in the better,” is Chairman Grubb's slant, “because, sooner or later, 'most every one will be pitching horseshoes and a bit of tournament experience will help the beginners. “Silver Spring now has a dozen good pitchers, where before there were only two or three, and this year’s fight for the town title sheuld be a pip.” 5 Grubb is looking into the advisability of holding two tour- naments 1n the hustling suburb, one in connection with the annval Silver Spring carnival. If this one is put through only those pitchers who didn’t compete in the tournament to open July 20 will be eligible. If two events are held, there will be a play-off for the town championship. In any event, a large entry is assured. In 1920, when the Silver Spring tournament was staged as a part of the carnival, there were 167 entries. In the meantime, shoe pitchers throughout Montgomery County are preparing for the metropolitan affair. The latest ROCK CREEK. 10, o'clock L. Lindgay v i Gou- J. Neale vs. | . Yeomans.

ROMOTER JOE TURNER has Jim Londos’ contract to appear here July 17 in his pocket and Rudy Dusek can have Jimmy |for 'his opponent then, providing | Londos is agreeable. | Following Rudy’s 47-minute victory | over Wladek Zbyszko, Turner offered the match to Dusek, who accepted with alacrity. | Dusek, it may be remembered, was | “airplanc spinned” by Londos last month and it is considered somewhat | unethical among the wrestling gentry | to have the same man meet the “cham- pion” in the same town in the same year, No more surprised person was in Grif- fith Stadiur last night when Wladek Zbyszko failed to rise after being body- | slammed to the mat by Rudy than Rudy | himself. For 46 minutes they battled, | with the huge Pole, many times the | champ himself, having the better of | the going. Knowing of Dusek's stam- | ina, ‘most of the crowd of 7,000 were | prepared to witness another 46 minutes | of milling, when Rudy picked up his 230-pound foe and slammed him to the | mat. Zbyszko landed solidly and was all but kayoed. Zbyszko, who, as Dusek put it in his dressing room, “can hand out more pun- | ishment than 'any other wrestler I have ever met,” broke Rudy’s pet holds—even the rocking split—with an ease that amazed the crowd, over half of which | was composed of women, but it was ap- | parent that he tired near the end. | | For wild and wooly happenings, the | semi-final, beiween Sandor Szabo and | Milo Steinborn, took the cake. It was a battle roval, with the almost slender Szabo taking a licking until Milo fell out of the ring and came back waving in the first chukker, but the Whites finiched with 9 games won a a doormat. Szabo then put himself in solid with the local fans by maltreating the bull-like Milo and pinning him after 24 minutes. In the other matches Earl McCready threw Billy Evans, substituting for Dick | Daviscourt, in eight and a half minutes; | Mike Romano and Son Jennings, drew, | and Sammy Stein tossed Nick Nestor. | HIT BY BALL, DI-Es.

Va., states that the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers are very muddy. The Potomac near Washington has been | muddy for three weeks, and will be muddy for some days to come. There- fore, despite the fact that a large nyn- ber of smali-mouth bass are reported in the Upper Potomac, between Little and Great Falls and beyond, the anglers will have to wait until the river clears. July 4 anglers fishing in salt water may all_expect good results. Capt. Spencer Urie at Rock Hall, Md., across the bay, reports the heaviest run of fish in the memory of veteran water- men. Now that’s encouraging, but fortunately, all the fish are not in the waters of the bay off the Eastern Shore. | There are a great many of them in | the Lower Potomac, and the best part | |of the news from this section is that | bluefish have been landed this week, | !both trolling and still fishing, | ROM Ocean City comes a report that the fish are biting and that a great many are being landed from the new pier. The pier extends 700 feet out in the ocean and is re- ported to be crowded every day with anglers. Kingfish and flounders are the fish mostly Janded from the pier, along with hammer head sharks. The | channel bass are furnishing great sport in the surf, Four of these gamesters landed this weck by W. E. Carey of | Philadelphia weighed 30, 35, 40 and 46 | pounds. | | A telegram from A. H. G. M!'ln'u; | at Wachapreague, Va, this morning | reads as follows: “Prospects getting | better as fish are striking on ocean; 40 | trout and under per boat landed on the | inside. Largest channel bass this week | | 583, pounds. Good catches this week | of trout, 40 and under; sea bass, 2 bushels mdb \imdc’: dléi_ng fish and | porgies also being landed.” | ipngI\vt. Dan P. Ball at_Neavitt, Md., | | at the mcuth of the Big Choptank | River, in his report this morning says | | the largest catch this week was 55 | hardhead. These fish were landed last | Monday night, and Capt. Ball said it | was the largest catch of the season. | He added that night fishing seems to | | bring better results [WEEK end fishing parties will get good results around Tilghmans and Sharps Islands, in the east- | | ern bay, and down off Cristfield, where | | trout were reported last week being | caught two at a time. Capt. George Bowen at Solomons | Island reported this morning that the much-sought bluefish had made their appearance in the waters of the bay between Cedar Point and Cove Point yesterday. He said large schools of these fish had been seen breaking water, but that no anglers have been out after them. He informed us that big trout are being caught in the wee hours of the morning, from 2 o'clock until daybreak, and again in the eve- ning. moment something happened to the motor, and it could not be started. He decided to go fishing, anyhow. There was a skiff on the shore, a leaky one, he said, and he had only two soft crabs for bait. With one of his party he rowed a skort distance out over an ovster bed and landed 16 trout weigh- ing grom 3': to, 4!z pounds. He said he got one strike, and after a battle lasting about 10 minutes the fish—and it must have been a big one—broke his line and went his merry way. He was using & new pound test line. Six- teen trout on two soft bs is pretty good fishing in any man’s party. EORGE KNIGHT, in his report from the lower Potomac. says that the blues are striking. These fish made | their_appearance in the lower Patomac jon Tuesday and are being landed on hook and line, trolling and still fishing L. B. Huntington and Capt. Thoma Trott, fishing off Tall Timbers an Piney Point. landed a large number of them, weighing from 31; to 4 pounds. fishing on the flood tide. Knight also reports that these two anglers returned last Tuesday with a catch of 79 rock- fish, caught trolling off Piney Point He informs us that plenty of trout large spot and hardhead are being caught and that the rockfish landed weighed from 2 to 14 pounds. Bernard Osborne, fishing off St Clements Shore, in the lower Potomac, landed 50 fish, large spot, one trout and the rest hardhead, using soft crab as bait. This week end the anglers fishing at Chesapeake Beach, Solomons Island. Benedict, Piney Point and Rock Point | will find the high tide occurring in the | afternoon. | S SR HOLMES TENNIS VICTOR | ‘ Beats Perkins in Semi-Final of | Twelfth Street “Y” Event.

Thirty Years Al Newa: OCCUPIED CELLAR, NOW STRONG FIFTH Fall of White Sox Is Only Other Change in Parade. Card Lead Cut. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer, T home or away, intersec- tional games in the Ameri- can League seem to bring' about the same results for all the clubs except the St. Louis Browns. A complete round of games, with the Eastern clubs of the circuit playing in the West, which wound up yesterday, brought just one big change in the standing. The Browns, who started their cam- paign at Sportsman’s Park against the Eastern invaders in last place, finished it yesterday a good fifth in the stand- ing, while thé Chicago White Sox dropped from fifth to eighth in the same time. St. Louis won 13 games and lost 5. while the White Sox had only 5 victories to 12 defeats. The rest cf the standing remained about the same. with the Eastern divi- sion pulling slowly ahead. The four Eastern clubs pulled out a slight mar- gin of victorics, winning 34 games and losing 32. &oston alone fared badly among the invaders, recording only seven victories against nine defeats. Cleveland reversed those figures to ‘ve- come a second Western club which got better than an even break at home. Washington, trouncing the Browns, 13 to 5, in the final game yesterday, came home all square for the tour with eight. victories and as many defeats. but lrst 2 game to its rivals, Philadelphia and New York. Macks Humbled. ‘The league-leading Philadelphia Ath- letics wobbled a bit toward the er% and ot after absorbing & 12-to-4 b from Cleveland yesterday Th: . goL & four-run lead on homers by Foxx and Bishop. then lest it when the wildness of their pitchers allowed the Indians to score 10 times in the sixth and seventh innings. The New York Yankees, aided by Babe Ruth's nine- teenth home run. finished their tour with a 13-to-1 triumph over Detroit. Th2 Yanks won 10 games and lcst 2, the second best record of the series, while the Tigers had 5 victories in 13 games. ‘Tommy Thomas pitched Chicago to a final victory over Boston. holding the Red Sox to three hits while the Pale Hose won, 2 to 0. In the National League, where a double-header today between St. Louis and Philadelphia winds up the int=: sectional campaign. the Brookl: Robins stood out as much as ihe Browns in their home stand. Outhit 10-5 by Cincinnati yesterday, the Robins bunched three doubles for three runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Reds, 4 to 3. The victory gdve Brooklyn a record of 13 victories in 17 games against the Western invaders, Close in on Cards. Frank Hogan's home run and some expert fielding behind Fred Fitzsimmons enabled the Giants to reduce the St. Louis lead to 1'- games with & 3 (o 2 victory. Hogan clouted his homer with two aboard in_the fifth for all the Giant runs. The Chicago Cubs held their place three games behind the Giants by pulling out an 11-inning game with the Phillies by a 2 to 1 count. Bob Smith held the Phils to seven hits, while Ray Benge allowed 10, singles by Grimm and Cuyler and Mallon’s error in the eleventh bringing the deciding tally. Heinie Meine of Pittsbureh turned in the best mound performance of the many good ones in the National Leagu- vesterday as he limited the Boston Braves to five hits to gain a 1 to 0 decision in a duel with Bruce Cunning- ham. Adam Comoroski brought the only run, singling and stealing second, gaining third on an error and scoring on a hit by Howard Groskloss.
