KELLER. ETROIT, June 15.—In this series of four games with the week if they would keep their % heads high. The Browns are coming along, too, and threaten to make plenty of trou- ble for the five clubs above them in the standing. With five of their rivals in such fine strice, the Nationals cannot afford to continue slipping. Should they do so, they'll find themselves out of the pennant chase in a jiffy. Competition is so keen in the Amer- ican League this year that a club well up in the running doesn't have to take many beatings before passing out of the picture. COMPARISON of today's stand- ings with those of June 15 of last year quickly reveals how much keener is the battling in the current campaign. In the middle of June last year four clubs—the Red Sox, White Sox, Browns and Tigers—were all but hopelessly out of the flag race. The White Sox, sixth at the time, were 19 games behind the league-leading Athletics. Today, the Browns in sixth place are just eight and one-half games back of the New York pacemakers. This year the Tigers and the Browns have bolstered to make the race tight- er, the Detroit Club more 50 than the St. Louis outfit. Last on June 15 last year, the Tigers now are fourth and 10 games better off than they were at a similar stage of the 1931 season. The Browns are one place and six games better off than they were the midale of last June. The White Sox are running just a trifie back of their 1931 speed, but the Red Sox are far back of theirs. A bad last now where they were fifth a year ago, the dismal Red Sox are 11 games short of their record of mid-June in '31. F the first division clubs of mid- June last year, only the Yankees show a decided improvement. ‘Third a year ago, at present they are sctting a dizzy pace for the remainder of the league and are about seven games better off than in 1931. | Cleveland has improved over its 1931 | standing slightly—something like three | gomes—but it was fourth a year ago.| It’s almost that today. Although stand- | ing fitth, the Indians are but a few| peints below the Tigers. The Athletics and the Nationals are not doing so well as they did in 1931. First lest year, the A's now are tied with Johnson's charges in second place and nearly 10 games worse off than last mid-June. ‘The Nationals, no worse off in stand- ing than they were a year ago, never- theless are about six games short of their record last mid-June. And they are getting no better fast. LMOST at the last minute Manager Johnson changed his pitching plans for the four-game series here. Instead of saving Monte Weaver for the opener of the set with the Tigers as originally planned Johnson shot the professor at the Browns in St. Louis yestercay, Bucky Harris' henchmen today Al Crowder, at first picked to end the St. Louis tilting ‘Tomorrow Johnson will order to the | firing line his first-string left-hander, | Lloyd Brown—unless he again changes | his mind suddenly.

The Naticnals yester- day were all but helpless, though. ‘There was not a spark of fire in them. Away well, Johnson's charges got to George Blaeholder for two hits, one a homer driven into the pavilion back of right-center by Sam West, and two runs. After that the Nationals in eight innings got but five safeties and two passes off Blaeholder, one of the passes backed by two of the hits being good for a tally in the seventh. Beforp then the Browns had tucked away the ball game. Monte Weaver, starter for the Johnson band, wild pitched & run over in the first frame and blew sky high in the third. A homer by Schulte and two singles, all hits coming in succession, sent Weaver to the showers and before Fred Marberry could check the onslaught, the Browns had scored four times. They drove Marberry to cover in the fourth and before the inning ended hopped on Frank Ragland to total three markers for the round. And in the seventh and eighth innings they battered Ragland for 10 hits and nine runs. All told, the St. Louis bunch collected 24 hits off the pcorest pitching put forth by the Nationals this season. In two of their batting turns, the Browns batted around and then some. Their hitting was good for 37 bases. The Nationals’ outfielders became dizzy chasing drives. F THE Browns who played through- out the game, Blaeholder was the only one held to a lone bingle. Storti, who couldn't touch Weaver and Marberry was the last of the starting Browns to hit. He waited until the seventh inning to get a blow, then opened the attack by banging Ragland for the third and last homer of the game. Up again in the eighth inning, Storti doubled. Rain came in the second inning to halt play for 40 minutes and during most of the last four frames there was 8 drizzle. The Nationals slipped and slid over the fleld in their efforts to get to_St. Louis drives, but the Browns flelded just as as they batted.

Averill, Poorest of Old Frisco Garden Trio, Outstrips Johnson And Jolley in Big League Play BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, June 15.—The Boston Red Sox now have in Smead Jolley and Roy Johnson two- thirds of the greatest outfield ever developed in the Pacific Coast League. Back in 1928, Jolley, Johnson | and Earl Averill, now of the Cleve- land Indians, wore the uniform of the | | san Francisco Seals and the likes of their batting never was equaled in the | Pacific Coast League, where heavy hit- ters are no novelty. ‘That year Jolley batted .387, Johnson hit .360 and Averill .354. There was a stretch of almost a month in which one of the three hit a home run every day and the San Francisco club was deluged with offers for their services. The story is told that Billy Evans of Cleveland offered $150,000 for the Seal | outfleld as a whole, but was turned | jown. Johnson was sold to Detroit for cash | and players that totaled well over | | $50,000 as base ball chattels are reck- | oned. Cleveland paid $50,000 for Averill, | but Jolley, who was the oldest and | slowest of the three, remained with the | Seals through the 1929 season, when | the Chicago White Sox put out another $50.000 to bring him to the majors, N the Coast League Johnson was | rated the best all-around player of | | the three. Jolley was the best hit- | ter, but Johnson combined speed and fielding ability with a keen batting eye. | Averill could not hit with either of lhe‘ other two and was rated as an average | fielder. | | Today the situation has been com- | | pletely reversed. Johnson never was never would be a flelding star in the big leagues, but his powerful hitting made him attractive to Chicago. The promotion to the major leagues seemed to rob Jolley of his batting power and 313 was the best average he could produce in two seasons with the White Sox, while his poor fielding lost many games. So earlier this Spring he found his way to Boston in a player deal. VERILL, on the other hand, broke into the big leagues most sensa- tionally and has improved each season. In his first time at bat against major league pitching, Averill hit Earl Whitehill for a home run. He batted .330 for the Indians in 1928 and fol- lowed with percentages of .339 and .333, all the while keeping a place among the leading home run leaders of the American League. Not only has Averill batted well for the Indians, but his has developed into one of the best center flelders in the two majors. His progress as an out- fielder is due largely to the patience of Roger Peckinpaugh, the ambitions of the player and hard work by both men. When Averill was spending his first Spring training trip with Cleveland Peck hit fungoes to him by tMe hour. Peck swung a fungo bat so often that he wore great blisters on his hands and finally had to wear a kid glove on his left hand. Averill at 29 is an established star in the majors with seasons of expec- tancy before him. Jolley and Johnson have gone to the last outpost of major league base ball, lacking the balance and intangible spark that makes for longevity under the big tent.

EW YORK, June 15—Many players unable to win a regular place in the line-up this Spring occupled an uneasy seat today as managers pruned their rosters to the big league limit of 23 players, effective | at midnight. Several ciubs already were down to the minimum, but others had put off the task until the last minute in hopes | of making an advantageous sale trade with their surplus mater’al. The New York Yankees, already down to the limit through the release of Jack-Saltzgaver to Newark, present the most unusual roster in either league. or 35 | Manager Joe McCarthy has decided to carry 10 pitchers in his fight for the American League flag. The Philadel- phia Athletics, on the other hand, will attempt to win with only seven hurlers. Brooklyn finally got down to the limit yesterday through the disposal of Fresco Thompson, Bruce Caldwell and Paul Richards. Only Richards was sold outright, the other two being sent out on option. The club gave Waite Hoyt his outright release several days ago. The Giants cleared decks by sending Pitcher Roy Parmalee to Indianapolis on option and turning over Eddie Mar- shall to Montreal. The outright release of Cliff Heath- cote, veteran outfielder, placed the Cin- cinnat! Reds within the’ limit, while the St. Louis Cardinals sent Outfielder Ray Pepper back to Rochester and the Chicago White Sox shipped Jack Roth- rock, another outfielder, to Toronto. The Detroit Tigers pared a man off their pay roll when they traded Dale Alexander and Roy Johnson to Boston for Outfielder Earl Webb. Stars Yesterday By the Associated Press.

Bonus Camper, 50, Has Been Running 30 Years and Plans BY TOM DOERER. R. WILLIAM KENNEDY, the marathon mite from Port Chester, N. Y., is in | town with the Bonhus Ex. peditionary Force, entrenched at Anacostia. Mr. Kennedy has won more | marathon races than he can ,wee Irishman has been a figure in marathon racing. And he expects to be running for 30 more years. He is 50 years of age. Bill dropped in the office this morning looking like a strawberry. An enthu- siastic sun en route from Port Chester concentrated its attention upon Bill's | beak, with the result that it radiated. “Here to say that I'm going after | the top homors in the Washington | ‘marathon in August” grinned Bill. | “Tell the rest of the boys I'm in shape, and they can start to worry.” There always is & lot of worrying in | any marathon when William is an en- | try. He is not only the possessor of re- markable endurance, but_one of the | fleetest runners in ‘the long-distance game. Some years ago Bill entered in a handicap marathon, a rare event, and after giving most the field 45- minute handicaps, overtook them to come chasing home with the honors. He’s very fast. Bill is getting in daily practice while | here with the bonus seekers. “I'm doing | 50 miles a week—have been for some | time—and getting rest and wholesome | food,” he says. Bill is a stonemason back home. While owerseas with the 23d En- gineers during the World War, Bill competed in the inter-allied games. “I have never let down in my train- ing and running since 1898,” says Bill. ‘l“Things were bad in 1908 and it was necessary for me to take a box car, | instead of a Pullman, from St. Louis to Chicago. It was bitter cold, so cold | that I had to run up and down within the car the entire distance to keep from freezing to death.” That's what inspired Bill to go in for marathon running. He fig- ured that if he could run from St. Louis to Chicago in a box car, he could do 26 miles on country roads. He had been a middle distance runner. Bill has competed in the country's biggest marathons and has won half a dozen of them. He was among the finishers in the Eastern Shore, Mary- land, run a short while ago, and will compete in events here during the Summer. By the Assoclated Press.

BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Bports Writer, HE Yankees, plowing through the West and building up an Imposing lead in the American League, owe very little of their success to the cost- ly lot of new talent turned over to Manager Joe McCarthy this Spring. Except for the pitching staff, the club that today seems an even bet to race on unchecked to the pennant. is the same that fin- ished second a year ago. Gone are Jack Saltzgaver and Frank Crosetti, the expensive young stars who were supposed to “make” the Yankees’ infield, and in their places are Joe Sewell and Tony Lazzeri, veterans, who have proved their worth. Crosetti still is around, but Saltzgaver has been sent to Newark. Earle Combs is back at his old outfield post playing some of the greatest ball of his career. All three played steady ball yesterday to help the leaders make it three out of four from Cleveland, 7 to 6, and give Danny MacFayden his first victory in 2 Yankee uniform. The Indians knocked MacFayden from the hill in the ninth and for the second sucessive day had the tying run on third at the final out. A triple steal gave the Yanks the winning run in the seventh. Two More for Foxx. The Athletics made it three out ot four over Detroit, 10 to 5, and kept pace with the leaders as Jimmie Foxx propelled his twenty-fourth and twenty= fifth home runs of the year. As Washe ington was dropping another to St. Louis, the victory boosted the Mack~ men into a tie for second place. The St. Louis Browns' victory over Washington was their seventh in eight engagements this year. George Blae- holder tamed the Senators most of the way while his mates knocked young Monte Weaver from the box and treated his successors roughly to win, 17-3. The Boston Red Sox beat Ted Lyons and the Chicago White Sox, 5 to 4, in 11 innings. Al Van Camp's double in the eleventh, followed by a pair of sac- rifices, yielded the winning run. Philadelphia and Cincinnati supplied all the action in the National League by dividing a double-header. The Phil- lies captured the first. 6 to 5. when they got to Owen Carroll for five hits and scored three times after two were ! out in the ninth, but the Reds came back behind John Ogden's steady pitch- ing to take the nightcap, 5 to 2.
