Sports N ews e WASHINGTON, @he Fening Star. b TH SUNDAY MORNING D. C., .THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1932. e PAGE D—1 Griffs Not Fearful of Yankee Serigs : Grimes Belies Own Charge He’s Through QUIETLY CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS IN SET Griffs Feel Able to Cope With New York’s Batting and Slab Strength. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ITH their batters blazing \’s; away at a terrific rate and equipped with a seven - star slab staff breezing along merrily, the league- leading Yankees have high hope of widening the gap between themselves and the second-place Nationals in the big series of four games that was to get under way in Griffith Stadium this aft- ernoon. The Washington ball lot has been no pleasant place for the Yanks this season, though, and the Johnson band is quietly con- fident it will make plenty trou- ble for the mighty macers and moundsmen of the Clan Mec- Carthy during this string of set-tos. The Natlonals this year have respect- ed the New York hill corps less than any other of the Yanks' rivals, having overcome it five times in nine efforts. And on their own lot the Washington pitchers have taken much of the punch out of the Yanzee attack. True, John- son's batters and pitchers have been below par recently, but perhaps relief from competition the last two days will bring improvement all along the line. At any rate, those three successive beatings they took from the Yankees in New York last week didn't discourage | the Nationals at all. They still h‘vel faith in their ability to cope with the best they may run up against—and| these Yankees right now are nothing | less than the best cpposition any club could encounter. 'HIS Washington club will run into some great pitching in this series should McCarthy’s seven-star staff maintain its marvelous pace. The Yanks have in Gomez, Pennock, Pip- gras, Ruffing, Allen, Andrews and John- son the finest lot of mound talent in the American League, if not in the majors. Yet thus far only four New York starters have gone a full route against the Nationals in the nine games be- tween the clubs. Ruffing was the first to do so and he took a beating here. Then last week Gomez, Pennock and Allen did so in succession in New York, each scoring a victory. Gomez, the ace of the Yankee corps, has reeled off seven wins this early in the campaign and has been licked only once, but that licking was given him by Johnson’s charges. In that lcsing game the left-hander was chased in the fourth inning after yielding seven runs. Pennock has been blasted from the slab twice by Washington. In one game Rufing was unable to finish what against the Nationals and Pip- gras suffered a similar fate in his lone starting effort against the Washington Club. The best of Yankee pitching against the Nationals has been done by Johnny Allen, big rookie right-hander. Reliev- ing Pennock in a game here last month, Allen pitched five and two-thirds in. nings without being nicked for a hit or a run and last Saturday in New York he gave up only five safeties when he hurled a nine-inning shutout. Johnny is the great surprise of the! astounding New York pitching staff. cCARTHY seems to have a staff of strikeout pitchers. Those 13 strikeouts registered by Gomez when he turned back the A's two days ago—a season record for a game and & feat that raised Gomez's strikeout total for the campaign to 58, making him the league leader—just topped fine per- formances by other' Yankee hurlers. Ruffing this year has had a game with a dozen strikeouts and so has Pipgras. In his first full game this Johnson struck out 12 when facing the Indians. Outside of the Yankee hill atars, Farnshaw cf the Athletics is the only pitcher to have a 12-strikeout game this season. He did that at the expense of the Nationals here on April 17. And that was the last win for the Mack minions over Johnson's charges. Minor Leagues International League. Montreal, 7; Rochester, 6. Baltimore, 7; Newark, 6. Jersey City, 5-3; Reading, 4-4.

Opening Davis Cup Singles With Australia Slated in Philly Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, May 26.—Indica- tions that Ellsworth Vines and Prank X. Shields will be Amer- ica’s Davis Cup singles repre- sentatives against Australia were given today as time approached for the draw to determine the order of the first day's play tomorrow. ( Jack Crawford and Harry Hopman are certain to be the Australian en- trants in the first two singles matches tomorrow afternoon on the courts of the Philadelphia Country Club at Bala.

The last two singles matches will be played on Memorial day. Vines, Allison and Van Ryn, with Fitz-Eugene Dixon, non-playing cap- tain, played a round of golf on the dif- ficult Piné Valley course yesterday as part of their preparation for the tennis matches.

Thesé quotas repre- sent the average number of athletes each college has sent to the intercol- legiate title meets at Franklin Field and the Harvard Stadium for the past four years.

EW YORK, May 26.—Although he will be forced to concede | some 25 pounds in weight and 6 inches in height, Mickey Dbeen established & 7-to-5 favorite in his | 10-round bout with Paulino Uzcudun tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Rumson Bulldog has been train- ing seriously for weeks and is sald to be in equally as fine condition as when he held Jack Sharkey to a draw here last Summer. That. and the fact that Walker always has shown at his best against big men, has caused.the experts to favor him over the Basque. The consensus was it would go_the full route. Paulino frequently has been beaten and does not stack up with Walker as a boxer, but there is not a knockout_against, his long ring record. | The possibility of the Spaniard knocking out the Bulidoz was considred even more remote. It promises to be a rough, tough battle between a pair of rough, tough veterans. For Walker the bout means a possible chance against Ernie Schaaf, Boston heavyweight, with the winner to chal- lenge next for the heavyweight title. For Paulino it means only a chance to upset another ambitious young man, one of the best things he does.

UIRFIELD, Scotland, May 26.— There was no Bobby Jones or Jess Sweetser around to gum up the works this year, and as a result Britain’s own were left today to fight it out among themselves for the British amateur championship, one of the most cherished of golfing crowns. The last of 11 American hopefuls who started play Monday dropped out yes- terday, three of them having gotten that far. They had the consolation, however, of knowing that most of the tournament’s favorites were on the out- side with them. Only one member of this year's Brit- ish Walker Cup team survived today, Eric McRuvie, the Scotch interna- tionalist. T. A. Torrance, captain of the English team, was overwhelmed yesterday by a 21-year-old, Jack Mac- Lean, and Lister Hartley, another ‘Walker Cupper, also was eliminated. David Martin of California was the first of the surviving Americans to pass out yesterday, and he was followed shortly by the Sweeney brothers, Charles and Robert, students at Oxford.

CARDS KALSOMINED BY FORMER MATE Braves Cling to Top Rung as Brown, 20-Year-0id, Checks Dodgers. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. URLEIGH GRIMES admitted from the witness chair only three days ago that he was just about “washed up” as & big league pitcher, but he would never have gotten away with it had the St. Louis Cardinals been sitting in judgment. The Red Birds were ready to swear today that the 38-year-old spitballer still has plenty of jolts left in his right arm. All they needed to refresh their minds was a glance at yesterday's box score, in which they encountered their former teammate for the first time since he helped pitch them to a world champion= ship last October. Toiling for the Chicago Cubs, he set his old comrades dnwxf‘g‘nh seven scat- tered hits and shut them out, 3 to 0. It was Grimes' fourth.start for the Cubs and his third victory. triumph not only was a source of satisfaction to the veteran, but was a great help to the Cubs in their neck-and-neck scrap with Boston for the National League top, enabling them to stay within eight percentage points of the pace-sstting Braves. The defeat, cn the other hand, nearly tum- bled the Cardinals out of the first divi- sion. leaving them a half game ahead of the fifth-place New York Giants. Bobby Brown, the 20-year-old sensa- tion from Binghamton, kept the Braves at the head of the class by defeating Brooklyn, 4 to 2, on four hits. The youngster, who began his big league career by licking Dazzy Vance in a mound duel a month ago, was invincible in all but two innings. He received some valuable assistance frcm another of the Braves' rookies, Pritz Knothe, who pounded in two runs with a dcu- ble and scored a third. F and Phils engaged in an old-fash- ioned slugfest, and the Giants made it two out of three for the series by winning 12 to 8. Bill Terry led the winners’ attack, knocking in four runs with his tenth home run of the year, a double and a single. Fumbles by Heath and Hafey helped Pittsburgh score five runs in the first inning and eventually trim Cincinnati, 9 to 4, for the second straight day. Only two games were scheduled in 'OR the third straight day the Giants | the American League. One, at Chicago, was rained out, and the other, at De- troit, was washed away in the fourth inning with the St. Louis Browns ahead, 1 to 0. It was no contest. 1. S.

EW YORK, May 26.—With the lone exception of Wisconsin, the var- sity, junior varsity and freshman fleets of the Poughkeepsie regulars are entered and positions drawn fer the annual regatta on the Hudson June 20. Twenty-two crews in the three races, numerically the same as last year, lined up for the draw. Wisconsin withdrew because of desire to concentrate on the 2.000-meter Olympic trials in July at Worcester. Eight varsities are entered, six junior varsities and eight freshmen boats.
