WASHINGTO! I 10, 9’ * RNING: EDITION ny Star. WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1931 Classified Ads PAGE C—1 Nationals’Smartness Promises Results : Webb and Chapman Inch up on Records Our Nationals Are Winning a Few Laurels While Cleveland Is Here PLAY BRILLIANTLY IN ROUT OF INDIANS Clever in All Departments of Game—Jones Great as Tribe Is Subdued. BY JOHN B. KELLER. T may be because they are| playing the Indians, who have | l been licked by them in 10 of a dozen meetings this season, or it may be that they are about to emerge from the slump that has had them in the doldrums for weeks. Regardless of the cause, however, the Nationals looked better yesterday than at any time since they overcame the league- leading Athletics here on July 5, and their fine showing in the sec- ond victory over the Indians may be construed as being an indica- tion they are about to take a step forward once more. They did nothing wrong in that game yesterday. Their hitting was much stronger than the eight bingles credited to them seems to show, their pitching was of the old master style, thelr run- | ning of the bases left nothing to be | desired and their fielding was of intelligent order, despite that the lone error of the game was charged against & member of their Nationals. It was a fine-playing ball club that represented Washington in that second game of the series with the Indians. It was a ball club that came back to show its patrons and followers that it still is worthy of respect in every way and one that deserves the admiration of all Washington fandom. At that, why quibble about a ball club that has siuck in the first division and been next to the top the past sea- sons? Every ball club in the American League can't be the champion ball club, but it certainly is something to be around the top.” And that's the Wash- ington ball club, LAYING yesterday as they did while burning up the American League, the Nationals took the measure of the Indians with startling ease. They spotted the visitors to a run in the first inning, immediately matched it | at the first opportunity, then went on to have a big fifth inning and finished with an 8-to-1 vietory. Sam _Jones, the somber squire of Weodsfleld, Ohio, was on the rubber for the home side and he pitched virtually a cpotless game. He held the Indians to six safeties and three passes and but for an error by Joe Cronin after two were out in the first inning would have blanked Peck's papooses. At that, Cromin had one of Mis big days. Following that error, he fielded in sensational form and also contributed much to the Nationals' offensive. Joe socked the Indian pitching for a triple and a double and his triple was made when the bases were full. Clint Brown endeavored to stop the Nationals and for four frames he gave Jones quite a battle. Johnson's men nicked Clint for four hits and two runs over that stretch, but he fell before them in the fifth. Then they combed him for two safeties and he issued an intentional pass to Heinie Manush to crowd the sacks, preferring to take a chance with Cronin. George Connally was rushed to the #lab and Cronin proceeded to sock that | trip'e which made the day safe for Washington. Off Connally the Johnson | band got another hit to raise its game | total to eight. IGHT off the reel the Indians| assumed a lead. but th> Nationals matched the alien first chance. A pass to Porter, a sacri- fice, an infleld erasure and Cronin's| boot of Morgan's {mund!r accounted for the Tribal tally in the opening inning. Myer's double, Sam Rice's sacrifice and Manush's infield retire- ment immediately got back the marker, After two were out in the second gession the Nationals got another run. Bluege singled and stole to be in a | position to get home when Spencer = socked for a base. Jones took one of Brown's pitches in | Kune the small of the back after Spencer had been_thrown out at th beginning of the fifth, but the blow did not tak= any ed out of Sam. He scampered to third when Myer singled and dusted home as Old Man Rice smote & one- baser. Rice's hit moved Myer to third and Sam reached second on the throw to the far corner. Here Brown filled the bases by purposely passing Manush, then gave way to Connally. Cronin waited until the new hurler |} had two strikes on him, then slammed | to right-center for three bases and three | b more runs for the home side. One| more came as Jo» romped to the plate after West's long hoist was bagged in center. Without a hit the Nationals managed to get a run off Connally in the eighth. Kuhel, first up, was hit by a pitched ball and there were two on with one out when Joe beat to third a throw from the shortst:p, who had picked up| Spencer's grounder. Came a squeeze | play with Joncs bunting and Kuhel! crossed as Sam was flagged. HERE was much fancy fielding in | T the early part of the game . . . Blucge lunged to his left to scoop | up Vosmik's hot one and throw for a| force-out of Morgan at the middle base in the first frame . . . West dashed to | the depths of left-center in the second | session to drag dcwn with one hand Brown's great driv2 . . . In the Wash- ington second batting turn Burnett, In- dian second sacker, took West's bounce oft Brown's giove for a fast play, then Jjumped to his right for a gloved-hand grab of Kuhel's liner . In the third Averill tore in from deep center for Manush's holst . . . A flashy double- lay helped the Nationals' cause in the fth, one of those Kuhel,Cronin-Kuhel affairs . . With one hand Cronin snared Vcsmik's grounder near second base and got his man in the sixth . . . In the same inning the Natlonals’ short- flelder made a sparkling stop of Myatt's smash back on the grass in left and barely missed getting the ball to first ahead of the Indian . . . The long-hit- ting Nationals kept Averill busy, the Cleveland center-fielder having to take care of six chances . . . He did 8o in fine style . . . Marberry and Ferrell to- day . . . Ought to be a battle worth seeing. ——gee OUTFIELDER IS TARGET Barton of Cubs Hit Four Times in Last Two Contests. CHICAGO, July 20 (P).—Vince Bar- ton, young outfielder recently recalled from Los les by the Cubs, has made some kind of a record for being hit by teher. Pl herift Blake of the Phillies hit Bar- ton twice Mondsay, and Phil Collins, an- other hurler, shot him twice yesterday. | por score at the | | | co T Cleveland Washingtol Connie Counting Series Chicken YORK, July 20 (C.P.A).— Base ball fans with a discerning eye may have noted that Connie Mack has been inserting his recruits into the Athletics’ line-up with more frequency of late. It's an old Mack- fan custom. Connie is merely honing his rookies to a razor edge while he lets the old birds rest for the 1931 world series. Boss Willlam Harridge of the American mfue says the Athletics are so far out in front that he ex- pects some lack of excitement for the remainder of the season in his circuit, but what is going to hap- pen next year if the White Elephants keep busting the menagerie tent vide open? BUSH'S CRITICISM PUTS HIM ON SPOT Variance With “0Old Roman” Almost Certain to Cost Him Pilot’s Job. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, July 29.—There seems little possibility of a reconcili- ation between Charles A. Com- iskey, owner, and Owen Bush, manager, of the Chicago White Sox. It is almest a certainty that Bush will not lead the Chicago club egain in 1932, provided he finishes out the present | season. Bush, flery and impetuous, has in- ferred that the Chicago owner refused his requests for additional players. Comiskey, always quick to resent any sort of criticism, has replied that every effort has been made to supply Bush with the players he desired and that $200,000 has been expended in two years in efforts to strengthen the club. With such a variance of opinion there is little chance of Comiskey and Bush getting together again on an amicable basis. Fielder Jones Durable. Bush is the fourteenth manager the ‘White Sox have had since the organiza- tion of the American League in 1900. Fielder Jones had the longest tenuri serving six seasons. Jimmy Callahan and Kid Gleason each served five years, but Jimmy did his time in two terms, 1902-3 and 1912-14. During the past 10 years Gleason, Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, Eddie Collins, Ray Schalk and | Lena Blackburne all had a hand at try- 111"%. tto pull the Sox into the pennant ight. Urban Faber, the veteran pitcher, is being mentioned as Bush's 'Successor, should Donie Tesign before the finish of the season, but around Chicago it is believed Lew Fonseca would manager pro-tem. While Bush is the first of the 1932 major league managers to appear head- ed for the block, the rumor market is getting ready to fire Stanley Harris of Detroit. Dan Howley of Cincinnatd, Jewel Ens of Pittsburgh and Wilbert Robinson of Brooklyn. Uncle Will is used to being fired, but his Robins might play him back into the job should they win the pennant.

DOERER in the American Y.eague will attest to it any time you confer with them upon the matter. Grove, Earnshaw and Simmons may be tough medicine and look like the last ounce in the bottle, but when you clash with Cochrane, Foxx and Miller you know that you were wrong in the first and last place or your arithmetic has been garbled. And having counted six to the three- man base ball club, you suddenly come |upon Haas, Walberg, Boley, Bishop, Dykes and a few more to make that |llxr§e-man outfit a two-fisted nine-man club. Most of those boys would look like thin dimes in a mint if added to the | roster of other clubs. But as members of Connie’s assemblage of assassins they Lorok like important money.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JRE., Associated Press Sports Writer. COUPLE of rising stars of the American League may not surpass the records they seem to be aiming at, but while Earl Webb of the Boston Red Sox and Ben Chapman of the New York Yankees are shooting for new marks in two-base hits and in stolen bases they are prov- ing very helpful to their teams. Webb clouted two doubles yesterday to bring his total for the season up to 47. He is only 17 short of the major league record of 64 set by Georg> Burns of Cleveland in 1926 and has 60 games left on the schedule in which to get them. To yesterday’s pair Webb added two singles for a perfect day at bat, which made him one of the big factors in Boston's 8-to-1 triumph over the Detroit Tigers. The other was the Ri!;:hmg of Horace Lisenbee, who held rivals to three hits. Chapman’s Forty-first Theft. Stolen base No. 41 by Chapman was of little assistance to tie Yanks yes- terday, when the Chicago White Sox staged an eighth-inning uprising that drove three Yankee pitchers to cover, netted 11 runs and won the game. 14 t0 12, after the Yanks had gained & 12-3 lead. But at otner times s steals | have done better for his team. Chapple still is far short of Ty Cobb's modern bas:-stealing mark of 96, but he al- ready has compjeted moro thefts than any American Lesgue player in the past five years. Al ‘Simmons was the big part of the show at Philadelphia, where the Ath- letics maintained their 11-game lead over Washington by downing St. Louis, 6 to 3. Simmons started the winning rally in the eighth with his fifteenth | homer of the season and gave Bcb Grove, who had relieved Earnshaw, his twenty-first pitching victory. Cards Win Tight One. The Boston Braves, groggy but game, put up another great battle against the St. Louts Cardinals, leaders of the Na- tional League, but lost by a 1-to-0 count. It was th: third straight game of the series to be decided by one run and the second won by St. Louis. Tom | Zachary was the loser, althcugh he gave only six hits to eight off Jess Hatnes. Alded by home runs by Blair and Hemsley, the Chicago Cubs held sec- ond place by beating the Phillies, 6 |to 3. Charley Root did his bit toward | winning his fourth straight_game by outpitching Phil Collins. The New | York Giants clung to their place a half game behind by doWning the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to 2, on a series of late rallies. Ervin Brame held the Giants in check for six innings of & duel with Carl Hubbell, but heat forced him out and Spencer proved com- | paratively easy. Brooklyn dropped a game behind its three rivals as the Cincinnati Reds took a 5-to-4 decision with a ninth inning rally. Just after the Rcbins had tied the score Nick Cullop doubled and Tony Cuccinello, who batted in three runs, singled him home. z . ity Will Take on Znoski in Feature of Show—Four Other Bouts Are Scheduled.
