_A—10 S FLOCK OF LEFTIES IN DOUBLE-HEADER Second-Place Contest Has Clubs on Edge—Nationals Bag Overtime Tilt. BY JOHN B. KELLER. BIG day for the left-hand- i ed gentry of the pitching slab at Griffith Stadium. Southpaws will be much in evidence in the twin bill this aft- ernoon between Nationals and Yankees if the rival managers stick to their overmight pitching choices. Lloyd Brown and Bob Burke or Carl Fischer will supply the hurling for the home side, while Vernon Gomez and Herb | Pennock will do the honors for the | visitors. That's the latest from Johnson and McCarthy. Manager Johnson had ex- pacted to use only Brown and Fischer, but the latter was sent into action late yesterday when the Nationals were doing things to the Yanks and unless Carl feels like stepping to the hill again loday the Washington pilot will nominate Burke, the string-bean south- paw, for the job. g Plenty of action seems likely in the double-pastiming this afternoon. Al«i though the Nationals widened the gap between themselves and the New York- ers to two and a half games with an overtime triumph, McCarthy's minions can wrest second place from the home boys by sweeping the remaining games of the series. ‘The Yanks through their manager have promised Col. Jake Ruppert, the big contract and pay-off man of the club, they'll get second place for him this year. The Nationals are out to tell the world second place is theirs to the finish. So those checking through the turnstiles on Georgia avenue today ought to get a deal of entertainment. 'HOSE 11,000 and some who were at Griffith Stadium yesterday got [G. P. O. Botk sides | an eyeful of base ball. put, everything they had into the fray | g and not until the tenth inning could the Nationals get a 5-to-4 verdict in their favor. The Yanks did all their run-getting early. with the Nationals starting their scoring as late as the sixth inning. The big wallop for the Johnson band was furnished by Buddy Myer. who made three of the nine hits credited to his outfit. It was his rousing double, driving over two runs in the eighth inning, that deadlocked an apparently lost affair and it was. his single in the tenth that chased across the de- cisive tally. Myer made these big hits each time after two were out. Buddy yesterday was one of the boys who never give up. RED MARBERRY and Henry John- son were opposing hurlers at the outset of the jousting. Fred left the scene before the fourth round ended. He had been nicked for six safeties, three passes and all the scores the Yanks were to get during the after- noon. Johnson was not lifted until after Myer's double in the eighth. That was the seventh hit off him, but he had given up six passes.and four had fig- ured in the Washington run-making. Hadley, Crowder and Fischer followed Marberry on the hill, Manager Johnson sending in pinch-batters to oust Fred's successors. One hit was made off Bump, two off Al and two off Carl. innings of toil Fischer got credit for the win. The left-handed Ed Wells finished for | £I0 the Yanks to take the beating. And hei allowed only two hits. Both were in Ka tHat tenth, though. Twice wise stufi” was employed by | the Washington battery and each Mme‘ the strategem proved sound. Wilhl Combs on second base and two out in| the third inning, Marberry walked Gehrig intentionally and Chapman obliged by lofting to West. In the ninth Fischer had & runner on second Witk two out and Gehrig up. Again Lou was walked and this time Chapman skied to Rice. ‘The Yanks used the intentional pass in the tenth, but it did not work 0| pian: well for them. LTHOUGH the Nationals started the tenth smartly, it looked as though nothing would be registered by them as the inning progressed. Bluege opened the inning with a fine Tap to left and barely managed to get to second base ahead of Chapman’s return. Here Kuhel was purposely passed. Then Spencer, bunting fowls, popped out. Hayes grabbed Fischer's bat only to force out Kuhel, but Myer walloped to center safely and the ball game was over. With Combs’ single, Ruth's triple to deepest right-center and Gehrig's line single, the Yanks had picked up two runs in the first frame. They got two more in the fourth from Lary’s stroll, Dickey’s triple and Lazzeri’s one-baser. The Nationals got back two runs in the sixth when Manush and Cronin put_down neat bunts and West walked | Gron to fill the sacks. Bluege's walk pushed Heinle over the counting block and Spencer's long fly after Kuhel took a third strike tallied Cronin. Two were out in the eighth when Spencer and Harris, batting for crowder, walked. Here Myer poled the double to knot the | § battle. VERTIME games are Yankee poison this season...That tilt yesterday was the fourteenth extra-inning affair of the campaign for the New Yorkers, and they have scored but four wins and a tie in the extended clashes ...Chapman, the Yankee fiyer, tried to negotiate his fifty-fourth base theft of the season in the fifth frame, when he deliberately challenged Spencer after walking to first, but Roy's throw easily cut down the would-be stealer...With | Rit the bases full of Nationals in the sixth Kuhel whacked the ball down the first- | j base line...everybody who had been on the runway got home and Joe pulled | Fi up at_third base...but it was only a three-base foul strike, for the ball had left the infield just before passing the initial sack...The Nationals are to ex- ercise opti on their stock now in the minors. . .Liska, Masters and Grif- fith, pitchers, now with Chattanooga; Moore, a pitcher, with Shreveport; Jor- dan, infielder, with Newark; McLeod, infielder, witb York; Powell, outfielder, with Binghamton, and Clark and Banks, outfielders, with Youngstown, are to be recalled.

Government Printing Office, flag win- ner in the Government League, has won only one game, it is true, but the Typos’ victims were the hard-hitting favorites and the steady, heady play of the Printers has gained them a flock of supporters, ‘The Constructioneers lived up to their reputations as hard swatters yesterday, outhitting their rivals, 11 to 6, but the Government League representatives gen- erally outsmarted the Industrial Leaguers. It was a ding-dong battle until the eighth when Skip Gartland, glnw!.nd shortstop, singled Lew Hollis ome from second.

Assoclated Press Sports Writer. OT at all worried by the fact that an unkind fate and the St. Louis Browns prevented his set- ting a new American League record for consecutive victories, Robert Moses Grove of the Athletics now is plugging away at another mark that has withstood the best efforts of American League hurlers for 19 years. Back in 1912, Joe Wood won 34 games for the Boston Red Sox and lost only five for a winning percentage of .872. It has never been bettered, but Grove stands an excellent chance of turning the trick this month. He rang up vic- tery No. 27 yesterday at the expense of Stars Yesterday By the Associated Press.

Yesterday's shutout was Grove's fourth | of the year. Jimmy Foxx knocked one | of Eddie Durham's cfferings out of the lot with one on in the seventh. Grove allowed only three hits and struck out seven. Waite Hoyt gave the champlons a clean sweep for the day by beating the Sox, 6 to 1, in the second game. Foxx, who played first base in the opener and third base in the nightcap, gave Boston its only run on an error. Four of Boston's seven hits cff Hoyt were the result of successful bunts, Foxx being the principal target. Gerald Walker, the youngster recently recalled from Toronto, gave the De- troit Tigers a 4-to-3 victory over Chi- cago when he hit his first major league home run with two on in the sixth in- ning. Ted Lyons was his victim. Led by Taylor Douthit, who cracked four singles, the rebellious Cincinnati Reds pounded three pitchers for 21 hits to make it five straight from the Chi- cago Cubs, 12 to 3. Red Lucas, who | started the Reds’ spree by beating the Cubs last Sunday, allowed only seven hits in recording his second victory of the series. Braves Still Skid. The Boston Braves suffered their twelfth defeat in thirteen starts when the Phillies snowed them under, 11 to 1. Phil Collins yielded 12 hits, including a pair of doubles, but kept them well placed to score his seventh straight win. Ed Brandt, ace of the Boston staff, was hammered from the hill in the fifth inning. Only one Robin got as far as third base as Bill Walker pitched the Giants to a 3-to-0 victory over Brooklyn. It was the southpaw's fifteenth win of the year and his sixth shutout. Pittsburgh made it two straight over the St. Louis_Cardinals when Heine Meine bested Bill Hallahan in a fine duel, '3 to 1. Lloyd Waner scored the winning run in the eighth when Pepper Martin, ~Card outfielder, misjudged Traynor’s fly and it went for a single. ST. PAUL SETS PACE.

McCarthy Cracks. C when Chicago and Boston enjoyed the great rivalry between Francis Ouimet and Chick Evans for national golf su- BY W. R. McCALLUM. HICAGO, IIl, September 5. —Memories of the years premacy came flooding back in| the city by Lake Michigan today as Ouimet, still the old master of the chip and putt, matched shots for the national amateur golf championship with another Chi- cago product. Chick Evans, his old-time rival of so many hard- fought golf tournaments, is out— a victim of the encroaching years. In his place against the Boston veteran today is young Jack West- land, 27-year-old star of the Sun- set Ridge Club of Winnetka, IIl.,| which lies a few miles north of Chicago’s Loop district. Westland is the Chicago district golf champion and a tough egg to beat on any man's golf course. Francis Ouimet is the 38-year-old veteran of many a g-naén naum ’m:k" ut‘x;e last of m': old guard and one eat sportsmen of Ythe worlfi i ou can lay your money on the line and take iy\‘-l;.‘ur choice oght‘hls final. It may go either way. icago strings along with Westland and the East will move along with Ouimet. It might go either way and no honor lost, but Oui- met carries the heavy money because of his 19 years of big-time tournament experience and his unchallenged mas- tery of the chip and putt. UIMET is in the final round today for the first time since 1920 only because he put on one of the finest | exhibitions of putting over the last five holes seen in many years of champion- ship competition. Billy Howell, the amazing kid from Rich- thirty-fifth green to close one of the | matches we have ever seen—a match where only Ouimet’s long years of ex- perience kept him in the battle at all, and finally brought him through to the wire—a winner by a nose. Westland is in the final because he was able to keep his game going when Maurice J. McCarthy faltered and skid- ded all over the bunker-bordered fair- ways of the Beverly Country Club, came within three holes of catching West- land after being dormie 6 down and thereby set himself a new reputation as a great finisher. Ouimet is well known all over the golfing world. Winner of | the national open championship at the {age of 20 in 1913, winner of the ama- teur first of the kid wonders of golf, he is the man who really put golf on the front page—the first man to whip the famous British professionals at their own game. And 18 years after his 1913 | stunt, when he beat Vardon and Ray in the play-off for the national open, he is out there today battling for the amateur championship at the age of 38. ! UTTE & lad, this Ouimet, with his casual air, his friendliness and his | = engaging smile. But not all the golf world knows that Francis has put jon 20 pounds of weight this year, is knocking the ball farther than ever and is putting in inspired fashion. He 70 around Boston this Summer, and only 10 days ago shot & 70 and a 69 against Burke and Von Elm to beat the latter by 5 and 4 over a tough golf course. Westland is a rough, tough, little fellow who came to Chicago from spt‘t‘i"e }flomell*veln years ago, after getting himself quite a golf reputation in the Pacific Nunh-wesh'o g He is 27 years old, weighs about 140 pounds and was divorced from his wife only last Monday. He looks much like George Voigt and like him is a tough nut to crack. Given only an outside chance to go anywhere in this cham- plonship, he has moved along in front of the procession at a fast pace and some of the wise boys figure him as the winner in view of the hard match Oui- met had yesterday. BEL HOWELLL, far from being awed by Ouimet's reputation, showed the big boy from Boston the real stuff all through the day, and but for the inspired putting streak Francis put on in the closing stages of the match the Richmond youngster might be in the final today in his first championship. Billy had a great chance and no fooling, for Francis was badly off his game in the morning and was only 1 down to the 19-year-old Rjch- mond kid. But in the afternoon - cis put on a great rally to win four of tes the first six holes and go 2 up. Then he did the most amazing thing we ever have seen him do in 15 years of watch- ing him play. He stymied himself at the seventh and lost & hole he had al- most wen. Instead of losing the hole, Billy won it, and the effect on the Richmond youth was magnetic. He perked up like a thoroughbred. Birdied eighth hole to win, and only lost the ninth by missing a 6-foot putt. He came right back to win the tenth with a 4-footer and they squared away for the last eight holes all even. Francis played a great iron shot to get a half at the long eleventh and Bill went into the lead again at the short twelfth, where he holed & birdie 2. Then Ouimet started the putting streak that got him home a winner. He holed a 25-footer at the thirteenth for a birdie, nearly holed a birdie at the fourteenth and halved and then holed a twisting 8-footer to win the fifteenth when Howell sliced his brassie second. That left the Boston veteran one up with three to go, and his approach putt at the sixteenth left him a half stymie to negotiate. Down it went for the half and he was one up with two to go. Francis put his ball on the green at the 200-yard seventeenth and _Bill pushed his iron to the bunker. Bill's last shot in his first championship was one of the greatest I ever have seen. From the sand he played an explosion :g«n to a htge 25 yards away thl;ygt e ‘cup and nearly holed out, '3 only 2 feet away. Then Francis nonchalantly stepped up and holed his 20-footer for a deuce to win the match, 2 and 1. UN'DOUBmLY that match will go down in history as one of the great golf matches of ‘all time, and Howell has established himself has gone. And his e Was characteristic of the modest Billy.

Berg must either win the title or consider the evening a total loss, for he will very much _ underpaid considering some of the purses he has drawn down since arriving in this country three years ago. The challenger’s share of 1215 per cent will be a mere bag of shells compared with the $30,000 he drew down for fighting Kid Chocolate, so unless Berg wins the title he will be no further ahead than if he indulged in some insignificant match out in the Hinderlands. Naturally he is shooting for the title. If he wins he will cash in on the championship, but in this par- u'c\;nlar match he will be out for glory only. {COHN WINS SINGLES IN WARDMAN TENNIS Defeats Wallace and Then They Pair to Conquer Hunt and Smith in Doubles.
