FIXTURE AT FIRST Captam in Excellnnt Shape and Would Seem Asset in Runner-Up Race. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, August 29.—Looks as though Joe Kuhel will carry on at first base for the Nationals to the finish of the season. Any plan Johnson had of lifting the youngster and | sending back to the initial sack the veteran Joe Judge appears to | have been abandoned. It was thought certain Judge would be given the chance to show how flne is his condition again when the club met the Boston Braves in' that exhibition in Worcester on Thursday, but the captain did | nothing more than coach at third | base. With Kuhel hitting so lightly and the Yankees threatening to wrest second | place from the Nationals at any time carly during the recent Western tour Johnsen was about determined to bench the young fellow and put Judge back on the sack. Kuhel happened to re- cover his batting eye for . day or two, though, and the manager decided to let him remain at first a little longer. He said at the time that he still intended to return Judge to his old position should Kuhel not continue to clout consistently. Kuhel's batting on the Western trip was not strong and with the Yankees clesing the gap between them and sec- ond place it was believed the veteran would get in the game soon. Asked | whether Judge would play at Worcester, | then continue zs a regular to help the Nationals protect their second position, | Johnson replied most emphatically “Nor Judge is in excellent condition phys- | ically. His underpinning is as sound | as it ever was before he was stricken by appendicitis here in May. And his batting record for his major lcague career is such that he might be ex- pocted to do more hitting than Kuhel | for the club in its struggle to keep abead of the New Yorkers. But it does not appear likely now that he will get back to the game in any way other than as a pinch-batter. | | | 'O games with the Red Sox this | afternoon, if it doesn’t rain, and the Nationals can help r.hemzlvs 1 ir Ve repeated show- 1 ers, Johnson's charges plcked up hnl(' a game on the pressing third-place Yankees and they can well afford to gain all the ground possible before tangling with the other b'g fellows of | the league all next week.

Real Dope Given On World Series YORK, August 28 (C.P.A). dvance dope on the world series is in order. Before the “ghost writers” get busy, opportunity makes it ble to announce ex- clusively that Connie Mack thinks he will win the world series with the Athletics and that Gabby Street thinks he will win the world series with the Cardinals. This may go a long way toward clearing up a befogged atmosphere. There may have been some fans who felt that Mack and Street were both uncertain of the outcome. If Mack wins the series he will be satisfied that he has a real cham- plonship team, because that will be three years of triumph in succession for the A's. If Street gets it the whole Nation- al League will go whoopee because thise old birds are sore from the beatings they have taken from the junior circuit in the last few years. ‘ DEMPSEY FLATTENS GIANT IN EXHIBITION| Sawyer's Stay Brief as Willing | Mixer—Jack Has Easy Timc With Two Others. By the Associated Press. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 29.—Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion, knocked out big Tom Sawyer, Vancouver heavyweight, in 1 minute and 15 seconds and then took on two other fighters in a boxing exhibition here last night. Sawyer ripped in with both hands. but Dempsey came back with left hooks to the chin and rights to the body and the Vancouver man went sprawling for the 10 count. The next opponent, “Tiny” Lamar. Tacoma heavyweight, lasted one round, but was knocked down twice for counts of eight and five. Del Wolfe of Bellingham, Wash., went | two rounds, landing one heavy right to | Dempsey's head, which_ apparently failed to shake Dempsey. Dempsey was clowning around with his man in the last minute. Dempsey boxed with smaller gloves than he used in his three previcus exhibitions.

Mr. Roebuck’s victory netted him more than $1,000 in cash and trophies.

For more than 15 years—ever since “Gabby" joined up for service in the World War—the red-and-blue stitch- ed sphere has been out of his pos- session. He wasn't quite sure what ame of it. until it arrived at Cardinal headquarters in a_box from the friend in Newbury, Pa. with whom “Gabby” had left it for safe keeping.

Keefe’s Slab Mark He]d Best During Campaign in 1888. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HE exploits of Lefty Grove, star hurler of the staff of Connle Mack'’s championship Philadelphia Athletics, have put dyed-in-the-wool base ball fans in a fine stew. The controversy raging today centers on the ques- tion of whether Grove's record of 16 consecutive victories is up to scratch with the records set by the stars of yesteryear. Tim Keefe of the Giants won 19 consecutive games in 1888. The rec- ord was tied by Rube Marquard of the Giants of a later vintage, in 1912 This year @rove tied the American League record for consecutive vic- ‘Girl Nine bpurns Male VHelp Hollywood Maids Fill All Positions—None Chews Tobacco—Some Have Been in Films. JIKE many fair sex teams, two of which performed here last year, the Hollywood “Movie Stars,” who next Tuesday will play the crack Pull- man nine at Grifith Stadium, have 2 girl in every position on the diamond. The name, “Movie Stars” is not exactly misleading. Almost every member of the nine has been photo- graphed in Hollywood. They are said to play a fair brand of base ball and not one chews tobacco— evidently believed by some members of other girl teams to help create a real base ball-like atmosphere. Jennie Lee, who plays third base, was in Universal's coilegiate series. Jennie also is the champicn long- distance womai's swimmer of Cali- fornia. Lucille Wilson, shortstop, was in the “Broadway Melody.” Margaret Gisolo, first basewoman, is rated one of the best feminine ball players in the country. She was sent to New York last year as the only gicl in the American Legion National Tournament. Peggy O'Neill is another outstanding player. She plays centerfield and is said to have a_batting mark of 346 Jackie ‘Freckles” HooRay also is a mem- ber of the club. The ppoceeds from this game will be given to the family of Frank Cinnoti, local sandlotter, who is in a hospital with'a broken appendix. To make the game even more at- tractive, Manager Harry Hall of the Pullmans announced that Brooke Grubb, premier showman, base ball player, promoter and one of the best horseshoe pitchers of Silver Spring, will play with Pullman. Last year, it may be remembered, Brooke and his Stlver Spring Giants entertained the New York Bloomer Girls and Grubb's antics would have made a rassler"turn green with euvy. Following this game the “Movie Stars” will tour the South and then head back to California, from where they will leave for the Orient and Far East. _seams readily with their fin lowing League standing Newark ..

Proponents say it is much easier to handle, both in passing and kick- ing, than the ball in previous seasons. Some point out it is harder %o recefve. Everett Strupper, former Georgia Tech star and now an official, says it is legal, and if the home team desires to it, he sees no grounds on which erees can refuse.

Associated Press Sporis Writer, OTWITH STANDING the comfortable lead enjoyed by his Philadelphia Ath- letics, things are breaking none too well these days for Connie Mack.# “Mule” Haas, dependable cen- ter fielder, is lost for the re= mainder of the season. A wrist, broken several weeks ago, has failed to mend properly. There is only a slight possibil~ ity that he will be back in time for the world series. The champions have been playing for a fortnight with only one of their regular outfielders, Bing Miller, and with three-fourths of their regular in- field. Al Simmons, slugging left gar- dener, has been laid up with a sprained ankle, but has been ordered to rejoin the club, and Joe Boley, shortstop, has been able to see liitle action.

The statement has been made that Grove did not pitch as many com- plete games as the old-timers, and that therefore his record is less sub- stantial. The record of Keefe is held to be superior to that of any pitcher, better even than that of Marquard. Marquard of the Glants was a left-hand pitcher, as is Grove. Keefe was right handed.
