The Foenin WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION o Star. Griffs Rally to Pr BEAT THEYANKEES | INPROVING NETLE \ | { \ | Marberry, West and Harris Shine in Upsetting Rivals for Berth. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, September 1. —Whether a club finishes| second, third or any other| | __place back of the lead in a| major league race may not mean much to the general run of base| ball fandom, but position means| plent{ to the club that is striving| 10 hold the runner-up berth in the already-decided American League | pennant fight. | To the Nationals this struggle to finish second in the race is a grim affair, and if the great scrap they gave the third-place Yankees in New Ycrk yesterday was indicative of what may | be expected of the Johnson band until the issue is decided one way or another | some stirring ball games will brighten | the waning season. In Washington on Sunday the Na- tionals in beating the A's served notice that they aren't through by a long| shot, though many of their followers, glooming over the club's recent drab Western tour, feared nothing could pre- | vent further’ skiddihg. In New York yesterday the Nationals were 2s full of fight as at any other time this year, and, given a fair break by their pitch- ers in the two games to be played here, they should make a brave showing, indeed. i For the pair of matches with the Athletics Manager Walter Johnson has nominated for the pitching the ven- erable Sam Jones and the much less venerable but still quite experienced Fred Marberry. Jones was to take the | hill this afternoon. Marberry is slated | for duty tomorrow. Jones has been no shining light on the hill for some time, but Johnson was hoping the vet might surprise 'em.| Marberry seems right, though, and is | apt to get away with a game at any | time. i Whatever their pitching, however.‘ Jook for those Nationals to be in there | with all they have in this brief series | here. There'll be a deal of difference in the smount of jack the players will get for finishing™ second instead of | third in this year’s pennant chase. And | the Nationals are eager to feather their | nests_as protection against the rigors | of a long, hard Winter. | UCH of the color, the thrills, the | tenseness of clubs tussling for a league leadership was packed into | yesterday's set-to between Nationals end Yankees in Col. Jak> Ruppert’s vast base ball plant in the Bronx. For four-and-a-half innings it was just a ball game. Then the Yanks stepned far out in front and immediately the Na- | tionals launched a counter-offensive. | Thereafter the clubs were at it hammer | and tongs with the battling so vigorous | that few of the 15,000 in the stands at the start of hostilities departed before | the Nationals left the field, 6 f0 5| victors. Each side rushed three pitchers into ' checks to convince him the change was O action. Lioyd Brown, who started for | the Nationals, left 'after the fifth | inning in’ which he had been slammed for Lou Gehrig's thirty-eighth homer of the yuar following the filling of the bases by a purposeful pass to the great Babe Ruth. Herb Pennock southpawed | five good rounds for the Yanks then suffered a four-run jolt in the sixth and | gave way to Ed W paw, before the round was over. Wells too his pounding in the sev- enth to pecome the losirt; slabman, Bump Hadley, who had relieved Brown, | lost control after getting one out in the | eighth walked two batters and turned | the mound task over to Marberry.

Ruth with the stations crowded. | e Steele ‘May Find De Laun Is Tough AY STEELE, who downed Tiny Rocbuck on th> mat here last week, and in so doing made a real hit, is expected to put on an- other bristling exhibition tomorrcw night when he engages Don de Laun in the main match of a Joe Turner card 2t Griffith Stadium. De Laun showed here last Winter at the Strand, where he was beaten by Jack Sherry, a capable wrestler. Since then, however, he has im- proved markedly. Save for the opener. tomorrow’s card has been completed. It prom- ises to provide plenty of interest all along the line. FERRELL'S 10 END BOX CAREER Wes’ Fine Hitting Likely to| Bring Every-Day Job With the Indians. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer, LMOST any day now Wesley| Ferrell is likely to discover that | ke has batted himself right out | of his present job with the| Cleveland Indians. With every passing | week it becomes more apparent he ! never was cut out to be a pitcher. It's quite true the young right-hander rang up 25 victorles last year and al- recdy has scored | 18 this season, but that doesn't alter the fact that he has been more or less wasting his time. His real ca- reer seems to lie on the other end of the firing line. | Through yester- | day’s game Ferrell was hitting a rare 358, an average toppad only by two American League players who have participated in as many games as he Wes Ferrell, has ~ this season. | They are Al Sim- | mons and Babe Ruth. Appearng in 47 games, many times as a pinch hitter, e has pounded eight home runs, six dcubles and a triple and batted in 27 runs. Valuable as is his pitching arm to the Cleveland cause, it would not be surprising to sze the Indians shift him to a regular outfield post in order to get the daily bensfits of his big bet. | There are the shining examples of Babe Ruth and Lefty O'Doul, who deserted | the mound for the more lucrative gar- | dens. Ferrell would not require more than a passing glance at their salary | for the better. Wes Has a Big Day. All of which is preamble to the fact that Wes had one of his most spa- cious days yesterday.

And MacKenzie is on the ragged edge, with his opening round of 79. John C. Shorey of the Kenwood Golf Club and Thomas P. Bones, Columbia’'s stellar southpaw, are both out of the championship, faced with an impossible task to qualify today. Both scored 86 in the opening round yesterday and need | to break 70 if they are to have a chance to qualify today. No one yet has been able to bust 70 on this man-sized golf | course_from the championship tees and, with Bob Jones out, it is not INkely hat any one will. GOLFER named Jack Westland, who holds the Chicago district golf championship, and used to hold the French amateur tit'e, was out in front as the second round started. Westland shot himself a neat and form-fitting in the wind yesterday and if he goes| anywhere n-ar the pace he set yest> day be will be down in front at the close of the medal round tonight. For Westland_played that 3,500-yard first nine nothing worse than 33 strokes. which is three better than par. He came home in 39, for a 72. but he might as well have been 68 as 70. Only a shot behind him is the Texas wonder—the much-touted Gus More- land. who strewed enough shots over the landscape vesterday to get home in 73—and a shot bchind him at 74 were Charlie Seaver, the blond foot ball star; Frarcis Ouimet, the Boston idol; Johnny Goodman, the glant killer of Pebble Beach, and the irrepressible Arthur C. Day of Chicago, the boy who cut such wide swath in the tournaments around Miami last Winter, Your British cousin of the mighty wallop from the tee—none other than Cyril James Hastings Tollv—is out of the championship. He gathered him- self an 85 yesterdav and needs some- thing like a 69 or 70 today to make the grade. George Voigt, the erstwhile Capital tournament winner, is none too sure of oualification after his opening rcund of 78, but two Virginia kids, up in the big time for the first time, are in there today with a grand chance in their first | emateur championship. They are Billy Howell of Richmond. the lantic champ, and Chandler Harper of Norfolk. Both of them played well to make opening round scores of 76. and another round like that today will land them in the match play. Chick Evans, Chicago's veteran hope, is far back with an opening round of 79. parrison R. Johnston of St. Paul, the 1529 champion, opened with an 83 and is on the outside unless he shoots 74 or better today. So is T.

Roland Mackenzie needed a 3 and a 5 to finish with & 78. He | bunkered his tee shot at the short | seventeenth, chipped out and then blew a putt of 4 inches for a 5. On the short twelfth hole Tommy Bones carelessly hit a 4-inch putt and it ailed to Grop. John Shorey had par in from the fifteenth hole for an 80 and finished with 86, blowing up completely on the ‘hst three holes, to play them in 6 above par. | . Mackenzie told me he was hitting |the ball as well as he ever did, but he had one of those rounds where the |small shots went wrong. “I simply |couldn’t seem to get the ball in the hole,” Mackenzie said. He had 58 of two of the par 3 holes yesterday. Bones was hitting his long shots well, but ran into plenty of trouble around the tricky Beverly greens. He missed no | fewer than six putts of less than four feet. A 7 on the par 5 seventh hole came after a misjucged second shot and he finished with a brace of 55 for a 45 on the first nine. Starting back with a par 3 at the short tenth, he took 7 on the par 5 eleventh and then care- lessly took four putts on the twelfth green for a 5 after reaching the green from the tee. He finished the last nine with a card of 41 for an 86. Shorey opened the round by playing two fine shots to the first hole for a par 4. But thereafter he went com- pletely out to sea, taking 7 at the par ¢ fourth hole, and finiched the nine with 44. At the tenth he had to play a left- handed shot from behind a tree and he | lost another shot to par at the long eleventh, where he took three putts. Two | pars and a birdie came at the next three holes. and he stood on the fifteenth tee needing four pars for an 80. He got his part at the fifteenth, but a long second shot slid into a bunker at the sixteenth and he took 6. He was bunkered from the tee at the 200- yard seventeenth and took a 5 and at the final hole his third shot was bunk- ered at the left. He blasted out and | took three putts for a 7 and an 86. AURICE J. McCARTHY. former Georgetown star, opened with a 76 and is a good bet to qualify. The two Baltimore qualifyers—Tom Cole of Hillendale and Donald McPhail of the Baltimore Country Club—shot 84 and 89, respectively, and are out of the tournament. From the way the boys scored yes- terday it will take a 36-hole card of 155 to make the grade for the match | play rounds. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. ALTER JOHNSON, Dixie Walk- er. Tom Hughes and Carl Cashion are pitchers who have been most consistent for the Wash- ington team. Buck Becker, District boy, has shown little after a bril- liant start. Bob Groom is not being depended upon and Dolly Gray is figured sure to be cut loose at the end of the season. American Security & Trust Co. was to face Cornell Co. in an im- portant week-day leagues base ball championship series game this aft- ernoor.. Fienli for the Bankers and Richmond for Cornell were the probable pitchers. Bob Groom was expected to face the classy Russell Ford this after- noon as Washington engaged New York in the opening game of its final series of the season in Gotham. | The first, a du=l between Freddie Fitz- | simmons ‘and Fied Frankhcuse, went to | to nuts, including the start of | milk. ‘September 14 — Const | D nstructioneers vs.| .. . oo 14 series and the opening of | portant figures in the attack. It was Commerce. Harris who drove over his club's firs run and also the tying tally, while West came through with a blow that sent over the decisive marker. The Yankees got eight hits, all but one off Brown, with Gehrig, of course, doing the most for them. ARY'S single, Dickey's walk and | Lazzeri's one-baser in_the second meant a run for the Yanks, then they hopped on Brown in the fifth fora fine lead. Pennock opened this inning with a surprising double and after Byrd went out Cronin, with an error, aided the New Yorkers considerably. Brown took Sewell's grounder and trapped Pen- nock off first then chucked to Cronin. The shortstop, trying to throw to Bluege, bounced the ball off the runner's back and all hands were safe. Brown then walked Ruth deliberately, but Gehrig wouldn't fall in with the plans. In- stead, he lofted the ball into the right- field bleachers. Myer started the Nationals’ sixth with B single only to be forced out by Manush and the scoring chance was not so bright after Cronin hoisted out. But Harris tripled to tally Manush and West beat out- a bounder Gehrig knocked down to put over another run. After Bluege walked singles by Kuhel and Spencer meant two more markers. Exit_Pennock. Hayes went up to bat for Brown, but the best he could do off Wells was pop to the first sacker. Myer's single opened the seventh. Manush tried to sacrifice only to pop to the pitcher, but Cronin got an in- field hit and Harris doubled to_put Myer over and deadlock the game. West followed with a single that tallied Cronin vith the big run of the fray. Tooked bad for the Nationals in the eighth when Hadley walked Lazzeri and Combs, batting for Wells, after one was out. Looked worse when Marberry walked Sewell and filled the sacks with two out. This makes a great spot for Ruth, but the Babe with a two-and- two count after fouling off a block of fine pitches lofted harmlessly to Harris in right. wm Harris swiped the middle base 1 in the second inning the Yanks howled that Bluege had inter- fered with Dickey's throw, but Ump Ormsby wouldn't listen to 'em . . . The Yanks tried some stealing themselves in their second turn, but Dickey was trap- ped on the way home from third and yun down, although Lazzeri went from first to third during the play . .. That homer of Gehrig's in the fifth put him 1 up on Ruth this year and it was the second time in three days that Lou belted for four bases with the sacks full . .. Chapman recorded his fifty- second and fifty-third stolen bases of the season . . . The flying Yank is the t cushion-thiever in years . . .

But it never gets late until 12 and then it's early again. After the coach tucks his chil- dren to roost, the boys take up magic and show how easy it is to turn a bunk into a poker table. But when little coachie soft-foots it inte the cot grotto, with hot milk and some soda crackers for his in- valids, they will be snoring in nine octaves and missing on two cylinders.
