BY W. R. McCALLUM. | | BY JOHN B. KELLER. ITH little money coming through the gate this| year the Washington base ball club officials are ncet planning any extensive | purchasing program that might bolster the Nationals for the 1932 campaigning in the American League. Althcugh the club sorely needs more material, little has been lined up for trizl next Spring and the club is not active in the player market now. The Natlonals could use another pitcher or two. another catcher seems a | necessity and <o does another outfielder. Thus far the club has acquired Weaver, the sencation of the Internaticnal League pitching talent; Ragland, an in- experienced slabman, who h>s been with Chattancoza this season, and Andrus, rated an infielder, but who has been employed mainly as an outfielder by the | Lookouts. | They also have at their ccmmand Masters, the collegian who has done some hurling for Youngstown in the Midatlantic League and now is_with Chattanooga, and Phelps, the Bowie bov. why has been socking th~ ball | solidly in the Mid:tlantic. but who vet is far from being a first-class catcher. Not 50 much to work with. No Outfielder in Sight. Manager Johnson still is after that clever right-hand hitting outfielder the club has wanted o 1-ng, but has had no | encouraging word from the club officials concerning one. And those in charge of the Nationals' business affairs appear in o hurry to do any mcre buying. However, the Washington club is not out of tune with other big league clubs in this respect this season. The majors admit their treasuries have shrunk con- siderably and they are not ready to put out much cash for material. There is a tendency all around to make every effort to stand pat on what is at hand even though the material may have been somewhat disappointing. Few deals have been made by the big fellows, and, according to reports from the cities of the two major cir- cuit-. few more are contemplated. Evi- dently the fans are not to sce many new faces in the Line-ups next year. D24 News for Players. Those that stick in the big show are in for some salary slashing, too. While | Washington club officials have not ad- mitted their pay roll will be cut, there is no reason to believe the Nationals will continue getting fat salaries while other clubs recuce, as several have an- nounced they will 'do. | ‘The Washington pay roll is a heavy | one—a pay roll well above the big| league average.

Louis Brunelle, University, wi played greatest foot ball team the Quantico Marines ever had. 1 remember seeing thediminutive wingman in a game at Griffith Stadium that year, when the Leathernecks met the 3d Corps Area outfit for a title of some sort. t was the game in which Vic Noyes, orps _quarter, threw in trainer at Catholic bear in '23, when he his headgear i lh:( l(;' ufl H ece eception ‘:nd got nothing for it but a 15-yard penalty for his side.

There is talk of Catholic Univer- sity adding a jour-year course in physical education to its curricu- um. Which is not a bad idea at all, figuring this and that and other thinga.

Dan Howley, in one of his exclusive interviews, expressed the opinion that his Cincinnati Reds were | the “best last-place club the Natlonal | League ever saw.” What the colonel inferred was that | he had a corking good team, but that it was up egainst the strongest opposi- | tion in the history of the circuit. From ! the manner in which his Red Legs have been knocking off the Chicago Cubs the ' last several days it appears he knew | what he was talking about. ‘They made it four straight yesterday when Owen Carroll outlasted Pat Ma- | lone in a 10-inning mound duel, 3 to 2. | Carroll became the fourth Red pitcher | to go the route and win from the Hornsbymen, Lucas, Johnson and Ben- ton having turned the trick since Sun- day. Their latest loss left the Cubs with only a half-game lead over the fourth-place Brooklyn Robins. 1 Estel Crabtree's home run into the | right bleachers enabled the Reds to tie it up in the seventh inning yesterday.{ They won out in the tenth when Douthit singled and scored on Eddie Roush's third hit of the game, a single. Adair, rookie shortstop, led the Cubs’ attack with a triple and single. ‘The Reds’ present winning streak is their second longest of the year. They captured five straight back in June, but their victims were the Phillies and | Braves, not & first division club like the Cubs. In the only other National League | game spered by the rain the Pittsburgh Piratcs fell on Burleigh Grimes him- self, for a 6-to-4 triumph over the St.| Louis Cardinals. Led by young Tony Piet, rooki> second baseman, who rap- ped’ two doubles and a single and scored twice, the Pirates got to Grimes for seven hits and all their runs in the ‘Last Place Scotch Grain for Fall at— second and third innings. Lindsey and | Rhem held them thereafter, but it was| no use in ‘the face of Bob Osborn’s swell relief work for the Ensmen. He allowed only two hits after relieving French in the second inning. Oscar Melillo cracked a double and three singles and drove in flve runs as the St. Louis Browns took their opener from Cleveland, 11 to 3. ‘The Browns finally drove Clint Brown from the hill in the eighth to give Dick Coffman his sixth victory in his last seven starts. Fred Schulte contributed a home run and a double to the assault on Brown. Scoring six times in the third frame, when they knocked Bob Weiland loose, the Detroit Tigers ran up a 9-to-3 score in tneir opener against the Chicago White Sox.

Yesterday he stepped out over the first round against the smooth-swinging Fay Coleman of Cali- | fornia and shot a 71—just par for the | course—to be 7 up at the luncheon in- | terval, and he quickly closed the gap in the afternoon to win by 6 and 5. He | just breezed over the last few holes, | where Colemar. put on a sharp rally and at one time was only 4 down. Francis Ouimet wasted no time in snuffing out the championship aspira- tions of young Paul Jackson. the amaz- | ing kid from Kansas City. Stroking his way smoothly over the course in 74, the veteran from Boston reached the turn 6 up on the kid, and, although Jackson won the first hole, in the after- noon Francis plowed along to a 7-and-6 victory. It was just a workout for Francis, who should be at his best to- day against Howell. it begins to look as if the Bostoni: who won his last amateur champi ship in 1914, is going to cop this one. | He has the experience, the golf, and is | fecling better and hiiting his shots bet- ter just now than he has done in years. | He had two easy matches on Wednes- | day and yesterday's match was a cinch. 1Unl&§s Billy Howell puts up unexpect- | edly stiff opposition Francis should win somewhere around the thirty-first hole. | There’s one thing to be said for Howell. He 1s no respecter of reputations, and he was not a bit awed by Ouimet’s reputation as he stepped out there against Francis today. A kid who knocked over Phil Perkins in a 21-hole match only a few months age is not afraid of Ouimet. Billy told me today that he has lost eight pounds since h> came to Chicago. As he started again:t Ouimet he had only 127 pounds of boy behind his te> shots. And that isn't much beef to handle against a Oulm: cver a rain-soaked golf course.
