BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, September 2. | —Although they have not | been moving at any fast clip the last eight weeks, the | | Nationals have a great chance to| wind up their campaign with 90 victories, which would be no mean total for a club back of first place in the American League this year. Including today's engagement with the A’'s here, the Johnson band has 27 more games to com- plete its string. It needs only 14 more wins to reach the 90 mark.| Little better than .500 base ball would make it. | The Athletics have made such a run- away of the American League pennant chase the last two months that fans| generally have overlooked the progress of the other clubs. The Nationals have moved along at a better pace than any below them excepting the Yankees. The New Yorkers put on a mild spurt for a time to cut from five games to one, the advantage held over them by the| Washington club, but it looks as though they must plug a bit more if they would | get_into the second notch. Since July 4, the start of the second Ralf of the championship campaign, the Nationals have traveled at a clip better than .535. They ought to cop | 90 for the season. And the Nationals | having come back for three successive | victories after taking three jolts on their chins in a row, wresting that| runner-up berth from them may not | prove any soft task for the pesky Yanks. | HAPPY combination of effective | pitching by Sam Jones and their free hitting got the Nationals a | B-to-1 victory over the league-leading | Athletics yesterday in the opener of | the two-game series here.

GEHRIG THREATENS T0 DETHRONE RUTH Lou’s Great Hitting Makes Him Yankees’ Main Cog. Hits 40th Home Run. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer, F Lou Gehrig keeps on hitting at the present rate, it seems likely that his name will be substituted | ™ for that of the great Babe Ruth in | the base ball adage “as Ruth goes so | g0 the Yankees.” Lou has been hitting at a terrific | clip for the past few days after doing well through the whols season and his burst of home-run hitting has helped to overhaul Washington. He clouted a home run in each game of a double- header yesterday to make a record of six homers in successive contests and give himself a comfortable meargin in the race with Ruth for slugging honors | with a total of 40. Not only does Gehrig lead the big leagues in four- baggers, but he is first in the majors in scoring, total hits and runs batted | in as well. Lou Gets Help. Gehrig received quite a bit of :1d from his teammates yesterday, but ais two homers were the important fac- tors in the Yanks' double victory over WITH GEORGETOWN’S GRIDDERS AT REHOBOTH.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 2.—The big rumor and report merchants are sell- ing and trading Hack Wilson in a big way since owner William Wrigley of the Cubs expressed a desire that the outfielder go elsewhere. ‘Wilson earlier in the year was men- tioned as part of a deal to bring Chuck Klein from the Phillies to Chicago. Wrigley cleared that one up when he said he had tried to get Klein, only to have the Philadelphia management turn him down. The 1930 home run cHampion of the major leagues has been mentioned in reported trade attempte with Brooklyn for Babe Herman and with Pittsburgh g:}r Paul Waner during the past two ys.

Roland MacKenzie of Columbia added & sloppy 82 to his 79 of the first day for a total of 161. John C. Shorey of Ken- wood put on a fighting finish to_close the qualification round with a final card of 77 and a total of 163. Tommy Bones of Columbia scored just as he did on the first day, finishing with an.86 for | a total of 172. For Shorey and Bones | this tournament was their first trip to the big time and neither of them en- | tirely recovered from the thought that | they had to shoot a lot of birdies to | qualify. MacKenzie lost his putting touch com- pletely yesterday. Neoding a 78 to | qualify, he started with a brace of 6s at the first two holes, and then buckled down to steady golf to finish the first | nine with a 40. But he booted & shot away at each of the next two holes and wound up his chance by taking & 7 on the fairly easy par 4 fourteenth hole. Here he sliced to & bunker, found the ball burled in wet sand and wound up by 3 putting the green. He ended with a buzzard 6 for an 82 and a total of 161. SHOREY really put on quite & burst of speed over the last nine Holes | yesterday. He clung closely to par | for the first four holes, went one over | at the fifth, tcok a 6 on the long seventh and ended the ninth with a 5 for a 40. Then he holed a 15-footer for a bird 2 at the tenth, took a buzzard 6 on the | long eleventh, picked up a bird 3 at the thirteenth and stood on the fifteenth | tee meeding par from there for a 34 and a 74, He took a 6 on that hard | fifteenth, a 5 on the fourteenth and finished with two pars for a 37, a 77 and a total of 163. Tommy Bones, who never had a chance to qualify after his opening round on Monday, went out to shoot the works yesterday. But the putts ' soon began slipping by the cup and when Tommy wound up with another 86 he had amassed no fewer than six 3-putt greens. He scored 44 and 42 for his 86.

Bobby Jones is better at wi ning golf tournaments than he is at picking potential winners of the amateur championship which he dominated so long before his retire- ment last November. Walking around the Beverly Club course yesterday toward the tail-end of the qualifying round, Bobby looked over the list of probable qualifiers, scratched his head and admitted he is no great shakes as a newspaper prognosticator of com- ing amateur champions. “I had four choices in this tourna- ment,” Bobby said. “One of them didn’t show up, two of them failed to cualify and I have forgotten the other fellow's name. He probably didn't qualify. So it isn't important, anyway.” Pairings, Scores In Amateur Golf By the Assoclated Press. EVERLY COUNTRY CLUB.

And when | you consider that Billy Howell's opening | performance in the amateur champion- | ship landed him only five shots back |of the medal-winning score, you can |fee that we have quite a golfer coming along cown in the staid old Virginia town of Richmond. Billy has been good enough to win the Middle Atlantic lor two years in a row and now he has set the final stamp of class on his game by qualifying in his first national. To make it emphatic he qualified well up, where such stars as Evans, Marston, Kocsis and others failed. Billy is good. No mistake about that, and he may go somewhere in the championship. Of course, he is not good enough to win here by any stretch of the imagination, but som2 one will have to shoot a lot of golf to toss him out into the gallery. Here are the scores of the three Wash- ington entrants: Out. par. M Ke P PRV Bones. ... NE of the real tragedies of this golf tournament came along about 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, where that grand old man of Chicago golf and twice former champion, Charles Evans, jr, faced the last two holes almost & certain qualifier. The largest gallery of the day, which included Bobby Jones, walking around to watch his former rival, saw the smiling Chick take a miserable 5 at the par 3 seven- teenth, and then. with two putts to tie for one of the last places and the play-off, take three putts on the eight- eenth green for a total of 158, one shot out of the champlonship. They were singing the blues around Chi- cago today. cir beloved Chick—hero of countless major championships—was out of the picture. But Chick has only himself to blam> and he ad- mits it. “No one that curled up as I did has a right to qualify,” Chick said. The putt he missed on the cighteenth green was only 3 feet in length. Another pitiful failure was T. Phillip Perkins, the much touted Britisher from New York, who has turned bond sales- man in a year when bond selling is almost a total loss. Perkins put on a queer looking exhibition of foolish golf |and missed putts yesterday afternoon | to play the last nine in 42 for an 80 and a two-day total of 162. And the big Britisher, who is fancied to win by many of the pros, didn't like it. He was not at all happy as he booted shot after shot and he showed it. His partner, Harrison R. Johnston, the 1929 champion, took it more philosophically. The popular Jimmy also had another bad round, but he contented himself with the observation that “a man who shoots two 79s in this golf tournament doesn’t deserve to qualify.” Thus there were three prime favorites out of the championship in Evans, Perkins and Johnston. It is wide open now and no mistake. Anything can happen. And just to show you how much of a yourg man's tournament it is Francis Ouimet is the only really veteran com- petitor who is in tnere today. EORGE VOIGT qualified well up with 155, adding a 77 yesterday to his 78 of the opening day. So did Maurice J. McCarthy, another for- mer Washington boy. But Maurice had his bad moments yesterday, finally fin- ishing with 156 to be in by a stroke, taking a bad 7 on the last hole. The real blow of the day came to Jack Westland, the much favored Chi district champion, who shot & neat 72 on the opening day and then had to struggle to get an 84 and get in yesterday. Johnny Goodman had & few bad moments yesterday, too, but finally holed a 6-footer on the last green for 156. Cyril Tolley never had a chance. The picturesque English- man closed the qualification round with prisingly fine showings. When you look over the list of championships and con- sider how many real big shots in golf have missed qualification in their first few attempts at this championship and then consider that Howell and Harper have qualified in their first attempt at the big show, the '-hl:suu really re- markable. Playing steadily through a downpour of early afternoon rain, Howell plowed along to a 77 for a two- ‘Turkey, l.né'o falls. total of 153. Harper, his perennial gl‘v’tl for the Virginia State champion~ a generous total of 167.
