PUT NATIONALS UP IN RACE THIS YEAR Licked in 41 of 58 Games by Johnson Band—Series With Tribe Won. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HEIR Western “cousins” have put the Nationals where they are today. But for the softness of the clubs of the tnland séctor the Johnson ‘band would not be so high in the Amer- jcan League flag running. 'l'hef Nationals have tussled with the Westerners in 58 games thus far and bagged 41 of them, moving at a .707 gait against the West. Had the Johnson tribe played as well against its Eastern rivals it now would be at the top of the league or within | 8 game or two of it. Alas, the best the | Nationals have done against the East | s break even. With seaboard clubs 42 games have been played to this rec- | ord: 20 won, 20 lost, 2 tied. In the home stand against the West that ended yesterday tbe Nationals | took 9 of 15 games. Last month when they played the West here they woen | 15 of 16 games. On Western fields the Washington club in its first swing took 9 of 11 games. In the second it got | an even break in 16 games. A record of 41 wins against 17 losses in battling | with the West Yes, the clubs of that sector have | been great boosters of the Nationals this year. | OTHING going on today, ttis being an open date in the schedule for Washington. _ Plenty the three days, though. Tomorrow and Sunday the Athletics will be the Na- tionals' guests, while on Monday the | Johnson band will trip to Philadelphia for a two-timer with the A's in Shibe Park. If you haven't ordered your seats for the week end you'd better get busy. N the wind-up of thelr tussling with the Indians yesterday, the Nationals copped, 6 to 1, and with the victory bagged the series, three games to one. They hopped on Mel Harder in the | first inning for a brace of tallies, and three more came off the same pitcher In the fourth when, with two mates on | the runway, Sammy West hammered a | homer to the right-center angle. In the | four rounds Harder gave up six hits and six passes. Pete Jablonowski al- Jowed four hits and one pass in the next_four rounds, being scored on in the final Carl Fischer staggered all the way to his eleventh win of the season and his nd of the serfes, for he was credited {ith the win over the Indians after re- Meving Al Crowder in Monday's en- gagement. Carl yielded just five hits but he also issued five passes and had to pitch himself out virtually to every batter stepping to the plate. O runs were picked up quickly by the Nationals. Myer opened their first batting turn with a scratchy single, Rice walked and Manush sac- rificed the pair along. Cronin's stroll filled the sacks. West's long fly to Averill got Myer home and Rice to third. | Kubhel then singled over a tally. The Tribe was kept away from the late until the fourth frame. Burnett n the round with a one-baser, toox second as Fischer made a wild pitch and counted when Averill singled. The next three batters lofted harmiessly to the outfield. A homer driven to the deepest part of right center by West meant three runs for the Nationals in the same inning. | With one out Rice got an infield single and stole second. Sam moved to third as Manush rolled out, then Cronin walked and pilfered. Wesl came along to slam that home run. Myer's triple at the outset of the ®eighth followed by Rice's loft to Left Fielder Vosmik meant a sixth run for the Johnson band. ORGAN got a fluky single in the Cleveland second, beating out a topper down the third base line < then he was snared with Vos- | mik in a flashy double play that Biuege started Bluege made a spectac- ular onc-hand stop and chucked out Kamm to end the second round in the third inning Cronin roamed far into left field to drag down Seeds’ higi one . . . it took a slick stop of a | ounder back of second by Montague to eep a hit from Bluege in the third | _ . . an intentional pass given Spencer lied the bases with two out in Wash- gton’s third batting turn . then Fischer went to a three-and-two count and grounded to the shortstop . . . West went to a three-and-two count with two on and two cut in the fifth, but he socked one for four bases . Rice came in fast to get Montague's looper to short right on the first bound, then chucked to Cronin for a force play on Sewell . . . Rice's throw was wide | and Cronin had to stretch for a one- hand catch to get a whisked decision had Sewell not been on first base Montague would have had a hit . . . but Sewell was a tougi one to keep off | base . . . he reached the initial | sack the first three” times he battad, | etting two singles and a pass, but ths | ourth time up he hoisted to Manush | . . .

I A GOOD FISCHER I | | ] g Suond P Defeats by Reds Jolt the Robins NEW YORK, July 31 (CPA)— Brooklyn lost seven games on the ball ground of Cincinnati in 1930, and the boys still assert that the grand old banner escaped them in the Ohlo city. Brooklyn already has lost six games on the Cincin- nati fleld in 1931, and the Robins’ pennant ambitions have been some- what chilled. Phelps and Vance haven't been carrying on as they did a year ago, particularly Phelps, and Jack Quinn, whose eocene arm saved the Robins througk: a crisis, has finally discov- ered a squeak in the muscles that helped throw darts into meny a for- midable opponent.

HARLIE RETZLAFF and Steve Hamas sre two young heavy- weights who can go a long way if they are not rushed. The heavyweight championship is a mara- thon distance before orfe arrives, as a rule, and you don't sprint marathon Toutes. Fortunately, so far as the fight fan, customer, public, client or what you may call him’ is concerned, both Retzlaff and Hamas are fighters and punchers. They are willing to fight and they can both hit. Retzlaff is now further advanced. having tackled more experienced opponents, and he is undoubtedly one of the best prospects of many yea Steve Hamas had a great record at Penn State. In his three years at the lair of ihe Nittany Lions he had three letters in foot ball, three in boxing, two in base ball, two in track and one in lacrosse. If any one can beat that for all-around efficiency he will have to travel. Hamas had five letters his last year at the university. Hamas reported to Leo Houck for boxing in his sophomore year, so Steve is no mere beginner who happened to take up boxing after leaving college. He won his first fight and then ham- mered his way to the intercollegiate title as a sophomore. ‘The Penn State entry looks to be the best of all the college boxers who ha had a shot at the professional game. Most of the others have been flops, but Hamas is on his way up. The Mixture. T was interesting to note the mixture of old golf stars and unknown names in the recent qualifying rounds for the amateur championship contest, which will be held at Beverly, Chicago, next month. The old guards were stil on hand—Chick Evans, Prancls Ouimet, Marston, Ellis Knowles, Doc Willing and others, with most of the stars safely in. To judge coming events from the pace set around the country, this will be a great duel between the old-timers and the younger stars. It will be the most open amateur championship ever held. The Far West is in a strong position with Doc Willing, Lawson Little, Johnny Goodman, golp and s few more who can play & lot of golf. ‘The main British threat will be Phil Perkins, now living in New York. He has the shots and the length for such a testing course as Beverly is, where distance is needed. However, the next move is to qualify for the final 32 at Chicago, starting late mnext month. The scramble here will be terriffic, as four-fifths of the will _be eliminated. One interesting feature is that EIllis Knowles, who led the metropolitan district, was inter- collegiate cham- plon nearly 25 years ago. He is play- ing better golf today than ever before.

BY HUGH S&. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. NE more round of inter- O sectional gamés between the Eastern and the West- ern clubs of the major leagues has been completed, with the home sectors again coming out far ahead. But a few sur- prising form reversals in the past few weeks have proved costly to some pennant contenders. who hoped to improve their positions in the intersectional series. Washington's Griffmen outshone the best performer among the visiting West- ern clubs of the American League, but still made a comparatively poor show- ing and fell far behind the Philadel- phia Athletics, who raised their winning form to its highest degree. The Griff- men played 16 games against the West and won 9 of them. The Athletics, after losing their opening home game to De- troit, won 17 straight at Shibe Park, losing only when they ventured to Cleveland for a Sunday game. Macks About Unbeatable, Both American League leaders wound up their stands against the West suc- cessfully yesterday, but the A's finished with an almost unbeatable lead of 12 games. Philadelphia landed on Sammy Gray of the St. Louis Browns in the early innings and brought the count up to 8 to 0 in the sixth with the aid of two home runs by Mickey Cochrane. Then the Browns began to reach Waite Hoyt, but could not overcome the lead, ending on the short end of an 8-t>-5 count. The final count of the intersectional series in the American League was 48 victories for the East and 25 for the Western _visitors. In the National League the Western clubs recorded 40 victories in their home stand, while the East took 25 games. Pittsburgh's Pirates furnished the big surprise of the intersectional series in | the elder league. The Bucs won 12 games out of 18, by far the best record, nd aided the St. Louis Cardinals, who won 10 and lost 5. in improving their lead over their slipping Eastern rivals. | Brooklyn Skids. ‘The Pirates wound up yesterday by | trouncing the New York Giants. 9 to 0, behind the four-hit pitching of Larry | Prench_to place themselves only three games behind the fifth-place Bost‘n Braves, Ths Giants and the Brooklyn Robins | had a rough journey, but the Giants managed to hold second place although efeated 10 times in 17 games.
