BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, August 31— Heinie Manush, making a| great bid to regain the bat- ! ting lead of the Washing- ton club he held last year, may go far toward keeping his club in !he‘ second position in the race it held | with only a game advantage over | the Yankees, who were to be en- coantered here today. Last year Manush finished the season with the most respectabl> averag: ci .350. He was to enter today's engage- ment with a 1931 average of .327, qui a few points below .hat of last yea: But 20 games ago—on August 9. to b2 xact—Heiniz had an averagz of only 2305. In 20 games he has picked up 22| points and as he been batting re- | contly he s great fashio; paign. Unfortunately much of the fine hit- ting Manush has dene in the past three | weeks has been wasted because the Na- tionals' pitchers have g2tting along poorly. However, an individual cariying such a punch into battle is bound t5 get | favorable results for his club occasion- ally and as the Washington club has | progressed lately favorable results every cnce in a while help. For the figure fanciers th2 ccmplete | batting statistics of Manush streak are given. In the score of con- | tests he was at bat 81 tim runs, made 36 hits of w Coubles, one a triple and cne a home put down two sacrifices 2nd drove over five runs. H's streak average is 444. | And Manush has been going ahead the past week, despite a very sore leg that would keep many a player out of action. But not Heini~. The club comes first with him and he would have to be seriously injured to force him out of the line-up. A great fighting spirit is Manush's. ASHINGTON'S ball club may be down to the point where it must scrap desperately to cling to the runner-up berth, but it looked no weak- | ling yesterday when it bowled over th= | lcague-leading Athletics in a 5-to-1 en- gagement’ in Griffith Stadium. —The Neticnals had everything the A's did not have and looked winaers from the outset of the tilting. Al Crovider on the slab for th2 home side and Al pitched about his | best game of a sceson tha has not taen so bright for him. He limited the | A’s to seven safeties, allowing them to | cluster blows in but cne frame. Then | with three hits the House of Mack regisiered itz lon2 run. | Before_that run crossed, though, the Nationals had pummeled Ed Rommecl for three tallles so it did not mean much. They got nine hits off the knuckle-baller, four times bunching two in a frame, and each time the bunching was done there was scoring. i The Nationals played fauitlessly afield. but the world champions made three errors and one figured in the run- making against them. O hits, a pass and a wild chuck netted the Nationals a brace of | tallies in the opening frame. Myer singled and made third es Rice »nd | Manush were heaved out. Cronin | Walked, then West topped the ball down tre first base line for a single that tallied Myor. Remmel picked up the sphere and threw it far past first base 1o let Cronin score 2!<o. Two were out in the second inning before the Johnson band began the making of its third marker. It came from Myer's two-bagger and Rice’s single. i With _one cut in the visiting fifth, Dykes, Williams and Rommel singled in | Succession to put over the one run the A's got; then Bishop drilled into a double-play, with Myer making a nifty stop of Max's drive. | The Nationals got that run right back. One was out when Manush paved the way to the fourth Washington tally, | which he carried across. He smacked | 2 double and legged it home as Cronin | singled. | Singles by Kuhel and Spencer and Myer’s long fly accounted for the fifth Washington score that made the rout of the A's in their last game here this season cemplete. ns 1 to carry on in to the finish of the cam- | 'HAT win in shington yesterday | T made the Nationals’ standing with | a club that is so far beyond the | yemainder of the league it seems in a | class by itself romething to boast of . . .| The A’s have licked the Nationals 10 times this year, but the Natlonals have licked the A's eight times ... and they'll be battling them tomorrow and ‘Wednesday in Philadelphia . . .

F 6 T seems strange to me,” writes H. H, “that Connie Mack could | run away with three pennants and probably three world series | with three fine pitchers and three | great hitters. I thought it took about 18 men to make a modern ball club.” In the first place, Connie Mack's three great pitchers constitute an iron- clad defense. In the second place, his three great hitters, Simmons, Foxx and | Cochrare, take care of the aitacking |side. But this fsn't all Mack hes. | | Birhop is a first-cless second baseman | end he has had one of his bast years. | | Boley isn't a flashy shortstop, but, as Jo2 McCarthy once said, he gets 'em and then he gets 'em over to first, and that's about all you can ask from sny | | infielder. , In the next place Jimmy Dykes is & smart, hustling third who stuff. And any one who figures Bing Miller and Mule Haas are terrible outflelders can take another guess. There may be a gap between Connie Mack's headliners and his other players, but that only proves the class of his stars who stand out. One man such as Mickey Cochrane is worth almost half a ball club. Any rival club has its work cut out getting a few runs | when Grove, Earnshaw or Walberg is | ‘Elbchlnl, And any rival pitcher has | is troubles when it comes to suppress- ing Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx, plus one or two more who are not | taking any feather duster up to the | plate.

He might | even, with a little luck, finish his f first season as the leading pitcher | of the National League. | When he shut out the Pittsburgh | Pirdtes, 5 to 0, in the first game of & | double-header yesterday, the former | Rochester ace fixed his record for the | vear at 15 victorizs and 6 defeats.
