BY JOHN B. KELLER. EINIE MANUSH, last year the Nationals’ best hitter with his average of .350, has been lifted from the line-up because for three weeks he has not been socking the ball| to any helpful extent, but the big| fellow will not be out of the game long. When he derricked Manush | yesterday Manager Walter John- son announced the player would idle only for two or three days, and that he expected the rest would bring Heinie around to his true batting form. In the mean- while, one of the Rices will look after left field. Manush’s failure this scason to hit up to the standard he set last year has hurt the Nationals considerably. was a power in their offense after com- ing to them from the Browns in mid- June last year, driving over many runs With his long liners and piling up a good score total himself. This season Manush has had trouble | at bat all the way, but since the Na- tio) got back from their last swing around the West his trouble has been more pronounced. clu campaign his batting average had | shrunk to .315. Now it is but 299. A | loss of 16 points in less than three | weeks. Since they came out of the West the Nationals have had Manush in 17 games. In them he was at bat 73 times for just 17 hits. So Heinle since get- ting back to this part of the league has hit the ball only at a rate of .232. Not much help in that kind of batting. Johnson, though, believes that after a brief rest Manush will be more free |1 at the plate, timing his swing better and getting more snap into the swing.

To win, the Washington Club bowled over Elon Hogsett, a left-hander, and ciid 50 in four rounds. Not so long ago they were saying around the eircuit that left-handers were plain poison to the Nationals, Well, this Hogsett wasn't. He took an 11-hit pounding in his four Jones... {Brown’. Tounds, six of the hits being bunched in the second for as many markers. After Hogsett left, Charley Sullivan, 2 richt-hander, ascended the hill for the Tigers. As Sullivan pitched it was well for the Johnson crew that he had not started. All gleaned off him in four innings in the way of hitting was a single in the eighth. Fr>d Marberry went the full way for the Nationals and though he ylelded 11 hits the Tiger bats were not swinging &o fmerrily as that total might seem to indicate. Six of the visitors’ safeties were smacked in the last three innings, four clustered in the eighth producing | two tallies. A cluster of three in the third inning had netted the Tigers a marker. After that big second inning Marberry never seemed to exert himself. T was Joe Kuhel who started and finished the six-run offensive in the second session. He singled and after ‘Bluege lofted out there were successive singles by Hayes, Hargrave, Marberry, West and Sam Rice. ‘The Tigers kicked in with three errors, two helping in the run-making. John- son in right chucked wildly by third after picking up Hayes' hit and let Jack reach the middle base. That put the Washington runner in position to score with Kuhel as Hargrave smote the ball to safety. West's hit scored Hargrave and Rice’s counted Marberry. Rice, though. would have been held at first base had not Walker heaved hectically over third to the grandstand. The error moved Sam to third from where he scored as Cronin was thrown out. A bobble by Gehringer then put Har- ris on and Dave promptly stole second, but after Kuhel walked he was flagged when a double theft was attempted. Singles by Hayworth, Johnson and Walker meant a run for the Tigers in the third, but the Nationals came right back to tally with Hayes' triple, a fine drive to the left field corner, and Har- grave's double. The Tigers made their last bid in the eighth, when successive one-basers by Johnson, Walker, Geh- ringer and McManus were good for two merkers.

Yesterday Sheriff Fred Blake, a member of the Cub pitching staff since 1924, was waived to the Phil- lies and Cub scouts are hunting for another pair of young pitchers. The sale of Blake reduced the roster to 23 men, leaving two spots for prom- ising hurlers. He also benched Hack Wilson for the third time this season, sending Cuyler to center fleld; Vincent Bar- ton, just in from the coast league, to right, and Dan Taylor to left field. Wilson'’s hitting failed to measure up to the Hornsby standard, resulting in another vacation for the 1930 home run champion of the major leagues. Hornsby has moved young Bill Jurges to second base and has taken over the job of playing third him- self, and promises more shifts if the required results do not appear in a hurry. o A Winning Inning L] o DETROIT.

HICAGO, July 21—The Chi- cago Tribune said today that William Wrigley, jr., owner of the Chicago Cubs, is preparing to bid in the neighborhood of $50.000 | for Arthur “The Great” Shires, first baseman of the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association. The Texan, who has kept his batting |mark above 400 most of the current season, would come back to a big league line-up after a stormy career which began in 1928 when he was vurchlisedi by the Chicago American League club | from Waco and ended after he painted | a black eye on the manager season be- fore last. Shires was traded to Wash- ington early last season and was, in turn, sold to Milwaukee for $10,000 last Winter. | The Milwaukee club hopes to receive | at least $75,000 for Shires, the Tribune said. Not only is the Cub owner anx- | ious’ to obtain him, the newspaper con- tnued, but the Cleveland Indians Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Braves are ready to place bids. Wrigley’s bidding depends, the Trib- une said, largely upon the Teport of a Cub scout who is now trailing the first baseman.

One is that par is too easily accomplished and another that courses are being made too difficult for John Duffer. Sluggers t the fairways as lengthy as a woman’s alibi and as wide as shooters desire them as short as a bor- rower's memory and as narrow as a bankrupt’s bank roll. A pro golfer likes the fairways spat- tered with bunkers, furrowed traps, a handful of oceans, the devastated re- mains of a group of forest fires and festooned with beds of bayonets and picket fences. But, baby, only for the customers— the duffers. Yessir, that pro wants to make the game harder for the duff be- cause it makes his job look easier. That pro would like to see all greens guarded by bull- dogs when the duffer comes up.

And a whole lot of Jur nineteens are Canadian enough right now to under British rule. When we measure out a fairway, Comdr. Byrd gets the job. When we place a green we annex foreign territory. Cuba still complains of being used as a bunker, and Alaska wants to secede because we are using it for a fairway marker. That's because we are a Nation of sluggers in sports. We like to bring the house down, make a lot of noise and let the neighbors know we pack a punch. But still we are not making much headway in making the larger and lighter golf ball smaller and heavier.

U BLUE'S presence in the line- up of the Chicago White Sox brought to mind the fact that | Blue is the only local sandlot | product now performing in the Amerl-i can League. Frank Watt, of the Phillies, is one | of the two local boys in the National League at present. Bobby Stevens is the other. Strangely enough, of the three, Blue | and Watt formerly performed in the | | Government Base Ball League, which | today is listening to the chorus of its own swan song as Washington's major sandlot league. ! Sandlot sages have said the Indus- trial and Departmental League have paled the Government this season— that the latter loop is living in mem- | ories only. If this is true, as is doubtful, the | Government league can look back over a sweet flock of memories. What other sandlot league hereabout can poiat to a complete team of alumni who arc or who once performed in the majors? Very few. Starting with a catcher, Nig Clark, who once back-stopped for the Marine | team in the Government league, was a former Pittsburgh Pirate. Nig was one of four former Marines X-GOVERNMENT LEAGUE pitch- ers who have performed in the majors are Buck Sturzer, Mike Cantwell, Fred Singleton, Ed Sedgewick and Frank Watt. ‘Watt, however, played third base in his Government League days as a mem- ber of Naval Operations, so the Philly pitcher, in order to make a complete team, must be left on the mythical third base. Sturzer, once a Cincinnati Redleg, played with Navy Yard. Cantwell, ex- Philly, hurled for the Marines, as did Fred Singleton and Ed Sedgewick, a other pair of former Phillles and Marines. | In the infield, Lu Blue, now holding down first base for the White Sox, for- merly played with Naval Operations. Dots Miller, who later went.up with the Cardinals, once cavorted with the Marines at second base. Johnny Priest, once with the Yan- kees, and Frank Watt, now with the Phillies, round out the infield. THE outfleld includes Monk Fraser, Johnny Bleier and the late Tommy Crooke, who though a firstsacker with Washington years ago, also could play the fleld. Fraser, once & Navy Yarder, was with Blue, Chisox i;'irst Baseman, Is Only Former D. C. Sandlot Player in American League the Giants when the McGrawmen op- posed the Griffs in the 1924 world series. Blejer didn't stick in the big leagues but he was good enough for a tryout with Washington. He still plays for Navy Yard. Crooke, who later turned umpire, but whose untimely ceath was caused in & bus crash near Quantico, also was a former gunmaker. Clevland is declared to be the best sandlot city in the country but any | league in the Forest City would have to go some to better the Government League's record, which borders on the remarkable when one considers it is a “closed” loop.

MACKS AND CARDS ATTAIN BIG LEADS |Philadelphia Now 7 and St Louis 6 Games in Front in Respective Leagues. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. HOSE sighs of contentmen you hear from St. Louis an Philadelphia probably ar emitted by Gabby Stree |and Connie Mack, manageria rivals of the 1930 world series. You needn’t bet on it unless you fee so inclined, but it looks suspiciously a: though Street’s Cardinals and Mack’s Athletics again will square off in the October classic. For the Cardinals to- day led the National League parade by six games, while the Athletics had a seven-game margin over their nearest American League rivals. Most of yesterday's action was con- centrated in the American League, the | A’s setting the pace for the rest with a 12-7 triumph over the Chicago White Sox for their seventh victory in a Tow. Hank McDonald started off for the champions, but decided to call it a day after the first inning, when the Sox scored six runs. Roy Mahaffey came in and held Donie Bush's crew to four hits and one run for the last eight innings, while the A's slugged four Chicago pitchers for 16 hits to tie the score in the second inning and win out easily in the later innings. The White Sox were _soundly beaten, but they had the satisfaction of engineering a triple steal in the opening frame while McDonald was winding up. much to young Hank's | embarrassment. Jimmyv Foxx hit his nineteenth homer for the A’s. Washington kept step wi'h the cham- | pions by beating the Detroit Tigers, 7-3. Yanks Again Beat Browns. The New York Yankees made it three in a row over the St. Louis Browns as Ed Wells, slightly outpitching Walter Stewart, drove in two runs with a double and single and scored one him- self to win, 8 to 5. Clint Brown held the Boston Red Sox to four hits, two in the first inning, as the Cleveland Indians smashed out 14 hits to win, 9 to 2. Luke Sewell was the only Indian who failed to connect safely. | The Chicago Cubs beat Brooklyn, 1 to0 0, in the only National League game of the day, Danny Taylor's triple fol- lowed by Ralston Hemsley's single ac- counting for the sole tally of the con- test in the seventh. William Watson Clark, seeking his eighth straight vic- tory, gave the Cubs only three hits, but lost out when his team mates failed to solve Charley Root's delivery in the pinches. Root was touched for seven hits, of which three went to Frank O'Doul. Desrite the defeat, Brooklyn re- tained second place, a half game ahead of the New York Giants and one game ahead of the Cubs.

EW YORK, July 21.—Maybe it's the heat or the torrid scramble for advantageous positions in the standings but the battle betwen the umpires and the players in the major leagues gets hotter and hotter. Within the last three days, two managers, two coaches and four players either have been suspended, fined or chased out of the ball park for the duration of the game. Man- ager John McGraw of the New York Giants heads the list with a three- day suspension imposed after Mc- Graw's heated altercation with Umpire Clark at St. Louis. Coach FELLOW ends Aug. 1st. —because prices Players Hot After Umpires Torrid Weather or Mad Scramble for Better Position Apparently Having Effect. George Burns was chased from the same game Saturday but escaped suspension. Yesterday John Arnold Heydler, president of the National League, snnounced that Manager Rogers Hornsby and Coach Ray Schalk of the Chicago Cubs and Frank O'Doul of the Brooklyn Robins had been fined $50 each for their disagreement with the umpires in Saturday’s game. In the American League, Umpire Brick Owens had his troubles with the Browns at the Yankee Stadium yesterday.
