Comics and Classified\‘i PAGE C—1 HEINIE MAY PROVE TONIC GRIFS NEED In Hitting Mood Again, He| Should Boost Club—Tribe Easily Trounced. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EINIE MANUSH is making gestures these days of shaking off that batting slump which has held on 50 long and it may be that the big fellow, who led his club last sea- son with the very respectable hit- ting average of .350, will prove just the tonic needed to put into the Nationals that extra pep they could use in the effort to cling to second place in the flag race. In the Nationals' last two games Manush in nine times at bat has eracked six hits, three in each game. They were ®ood, honest hits, too. Two were triples and one a double. For the first time in a long while Heinie on Sunday was up at the plate swinging with the vigor he | swung last year, when his batting was #0 helpful to his club, and again yes- terday he was in fine fettle in attack. | Should Helnie resain his batting strength the Nationals very likely would carry on at a good speed the remainder of the season. There is plenty of hitting power scattered among the others in the line-up, and backed by such a sound puncher as Manush is when in true form the Nationals should improve to such an extent that the Yankees would | find the task of grabbing the runner-up | position beyond them. | UST a ball ganle, that affair yester- | day that opened a four-game series | between Nationals and Indians.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. OING nowhere in particu- lar themselves, Jewel Ens’ Pittsburgh Pirates appar- ently have decided to as- sume their customary late-season role—trouble makers for the rest of the National League. Year after year the Pirates meekly submit to a general cuffing around for the first two or three months of the | season. Then when they're so deeply submerged in the second division & pen- | nant s next to impossible, they turn on their tormentors, particularly those clubs that top them in the standing. Just a month ago the Pirates had won 23 games and lost 38 for an aver- age of .377. Since then they have so far forgotten themselves as to win 19 games out of 29 for the quite respect- able percentage of .655. They won their fifth straight victory yesterday, walloping the third-place’ New York Giants, 8 to 6, although outhit, 14 to 10. Remy Kremer, who couldn't win a ball game when he was giving six or seven hits, was credited with the victory, al- though he was shellacked for 13 hits in | the seven innings he worked. Glenn Spencer finished up and stopped the Giants cold with one hit. Cubs Fall Before Phillies. | (o The _second-place Chicago Cubs fell to a point eight and one-half games | removed from the St. Louis Cardinals when they accepted a 7-to-6 beating | from the Phillies.

The American League situation re- mained unchanged as the Philadelphia | Athletics nosed out the St. Louis | Browns, 5 to 4, on Eric McNair’s tenth- inning ' home run. Rube Walberg chalked up his sixteenth victory of the year, although he had little edge on George Blaeholder, who struck out nine men. Babe Ruth's twentv-seventh homer falled to save Jhe New York Yankees Tom an 8-7 beating by the Chicay White Sox in the first game of a aone | ble-header, but 17 assorted singl | doubles and triples gave them the m?m’*. |cap, 12-3. The Sox won the opener in {the tenth, when Lazzeri dropped Rey- nold's fly and allowed the deciding run |to tally. Ed Wells gave the Sox only seven hits in the second game. The Boston Red Sox bunched seven | hits for eight runs in the fourth inning | to_wallop Detroit, 13-4.
