Battered Bengals Next to Face OPEN THREE-GAME SERES TOMORROW Have Been Well Licked by Nationals—Errors Hand Tilt to Browns. BY JOHN B. KELLER. UR old friend Bucky Harris O and his battered Bengals will be with us tomorrow to open a three-game stand egainst the Nationals in Griffith Stadium. The Tigers have been marks for the Johnson band this season, so they will be cor- dially welcomed by the Wash- ington club. With the Yankees| ST. LOU! threatening more than ever to| s grab second place from them, the Nationals are glad to run across any outfit that might prove easy pickings. It may be, though, that the Detroit ' ageregation is ready to make matters | interesting for the Washington club at | last. Despite its poor showing for the season it has a number cf sturdy play- :m ers in its line-up and recently has been moving along fairly well. the four games in the current series with the Yanks, the Tigers carried the fight to the last ditch before succumb- ing. . The Nationals have .trimmed the ‘Tigers handsomely this year, however. In eight starts here the Harrismen have | g, been victorious but twice, while in the 11 games in Detroit they beat Johnson's charges only fcur times. Mayb: the Tigers' visit will mean happy deys for the Nationals. We'll know Saturday. HENEVER somcthing nice is writ- ten of a ball player or a ball club, that player or club usually loses no time in making the writer eppear all wrong. Note that a player is hitting well or a club is proceeding smoothly | and that player falls into the wcrst bat- ting slump imagineble or that club be- comes one of the dizziest looking aggre- | gations in the business. It's been so for Jyears in base bail. Here was this Washington Club going along at a fine rate after recovering from s disastrous August trip. In 16| starts it sccred 12 wins. Little more uld be asked of a club striving to tain its slend:r hold on second | piace. And the base ball scribes up | and said so. ! The Nationals blow in s pinch, drop a game they apparently had nicely in hand, and today are but a game ahead of th> third-place New Yorkers.

First ordering Marberry’s suspen- sion, Johnson later relented and des- ignated a fine as punishment for the pitcher’s alleged act of insubordina- tion following his withdrawal from the box after his pitching hand had been injured by a drive from the bat of First Baseman Irving Burns. Johnson, in admitting the inci- dent, paid tribute to Marberry's winning spirit, but asserted such rebellious acts could not be per- mitted in the interest of team morale. The manager and p'tcher had a similar run-in at the Biloxi training camp last Spring. A POOR FINISH onanswansol oorooronanl moonornoon=E sorumiumnnsd CoommoOmNEH~D scsscsccsast Brown.

I, September 16.—Sixteen survivors im the Professional Golfers’ Association championship tournament, one of the stiffest competitions in golf; to- dey faced ancther punishing 36-hole match play test, which has already caused the downfall of four of Ameri- ca’s brightest stars. Tommy Armour, defending cham- pion, will play Walter Murray, Valpa- raiso, Ind, and the draw pitted Billy Burke, the open champion, against Bob Crowley of Haverhill, Mass. One of the keenest struggles of the day was expected to result when Willie Macfarlane, 1925 open champion, clashed with Horton Smith, last sea- son’s sensation. Pete O'Hara, roly-poly Irishman, | from Verona, Pa., who amazed yester- day’s large gallery by putting the great Walter Hagen to death for a sparkling 4 and 3 victory, was down to match strokes with Tom_Creavy, youthful pro from Albany, N. Y. Gene Sarazen, who has been 2 P. G. A. champion twice, drew a Tug- ged second-round opponent in Al Es- pinosa of Chicago. Sarazen has sup- plied the tourney with its best brand of golf, and he appears to be the strong- est contender for Armour’s title. Accompanying Hagen into the dis- card were Leo Diegel, another two-time P. G. A. winner; Johnny Farrell and Ed Dudley, recent winner of the West- ern open.

But 21 seasoned _veterans are back, and eight of the pack are backs, four are ends and the remainder line ma- terial. ‘That summary shows just how much Miller must depend upon his sophomore material for replacements. Those vets from last year lost through graduation are: Backs—D. A. Bauer, J. W. Gannon, O. E. Hagberg, R. C.| Williams, R. N. Antrim, J. F. Castroo and J. C. Toth. Linesmen—Capt. R. M. Bowstrom, C. E. Kirkpatrick, O. F. Black, A. D. Gray and W. O. Johnson. Ends—J. . Byng, T. A. Torgerson and E. F. Steffanides. Rip plans to build around a cluster three vets, Capt. M. H. Tuttle, a ear’s skirmishes, and who is rated to me one of the best backs in the East this season. Much will depend upon Kirn this year, and Miller makes no efiort to conceal it. Navy rarely displays a a group of stars; rather it produces a team of courageous fighting men, who plug rather than shine. But in Kirn it hopes to add a member to the all-American lists this Winter.

Y TOM DOERER r will have to come galloping out of the soph batch. Four of last year's varsity wings are back, L. T.

Jones—Ilooking like the most acceptable at this time. Eight of last year's backs are here while 13 more or less promising sophomore material are ready to step in as replacement. Of this latter group only a few may make the grade. Just where Miller is going to get line material is a problem. It does not seem to be here. Eight veterans are back and the soph group offers but eight more candidates. There may be a lot of transformation needed before the bell clangs. In aggregate numbers Rip has material. It looks everwhelming flocked out here on Farragut Field but there is a lot of simmering, sifting and sort- ing to be done before a varsity and its replacements can be named. There is no pretense to this look of wonder upon the faces of Navy men. They do not know whether they are going to see a Navy eleven to tear things loose this year or just another team out there doing and dying for the old houses on the Severn. And I find Miller a man’s coach, one of those fellows who will get everything out of a boy. If he cannot it is not in the wood. He is frank and soft spoken. He is of the newer school of grid mentors who are using softer methods to put over their messages. But, I belfeve, he is following Navy orders, gt’that. There never was much ‘betlowing on a Navy field, so far as I know. It has often been charged that the Admirals were cod- dled in_their foot ball. Maybe that's true. But those boys never fail to show that extra ounce of courage on the battlefields of foot ball. Miller's boys did something besides sightseeing on the Academy's annual| Summer cruise to European waters. Under the guidance of Spike Webb, the Navy's boxing mentor, the boys kept in physical trim, and time out for foot ball practice was taken in Spain and Italy, while considerable skull work was ac- complished aboard ship. Rip sees no overemphasis in this cither. When the intimation is brought up he points to the conditioning of grid men by many schools who use the boys to work on school buildings during the Summer and who do more than look at foot ball in the meanwhile. It is the {avorite method in the West and not unknown right in this bailiwick. This is Rip's first year as Navy's Your Car WASHED The Best Car Wash in the City at the Lowest Price!

BY GAYLE TALBOT, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. ONNIE MACK, the 68-year- old sage of Shibe Park, can spend the next two weeks figuring out what pitcher the St. Louis Cardinals will not expect him to start against them in the first game of the world series. Any other worry the Philadel- phia pilot might have harbored was removed yesterday when his Athletics sewed up their third straight American League flag by overwhelming the Cleveland In- dians, 14 to 3, while the Washing- ton Senators were bowing to St. Louis, 5 to 4. If they wished, the world champions could lose their remaining 12- games and, providing Washington won its last 13, still finish with a full game lead over the Senators. That, however, is highly improbable, as Lefty Grove would like to win another game or two. ‘When informed his A’s had won for him his B B i, s, Lo S but failed to enthuse. It has been easy. Ever since May 5, launched a 17-game winnl that carried them to the top, it evident that nothing short of junction could deprive them pennant. Y coincidence, the Cardinals chose the same day to take a strangle hold on the National League bunt- ing. Defeating Philadelphia, 5 to 0, ‘while their closest rivals, the New Giants, were held idle by rain, Street's warriors assured themselves at least a tie for the top. If they lose their remaining games and the Giants capture all theirs, each will finish 5 9 defeats. nine hits, what his mates did to two ers. They piled up 18 hits, every mem- ber of the team making at least hit and driying across a run. Tfl!NevYorkYm.lllmp— ping for leeonid phoeu.l‘m it 3-to-2 win over Chicago, second in a row.
