That kind of hitting the Na- tionals can use, so Manager Walter Johnson has about decided to run Dave instead of Sammy into the line-up in the future when the opposition starts a left-hand hurler. Harris was to play in both games of this afternoon’s double-header with the Yankees anyway, Johnson announced. West’s side was so bruised that the player was ordered to remain out of steady action at least three days. With the Western clubs coming here soon to throw a flock of left-handers at the Nationals, though, West very likely will get more time in whic hto rid himself of the ailment. Harris, by the way, is the Nationals’ leading hitter. Those three safeties he clouted in the Sunday pastiming ran his batting average up to .404. West Kingdon, who went in as & pinch hitter yesterday and smote a single, boasts an average of .500, but Wes has been at bat but four times, while Dave has been up 52 times. Any batting crown the Washington club may have certainly should adorn Harris’ brow. Alternating Harris with West in cen- ter field according to the brand of hurl- ing the opposition starts, might get the Nationals out of the slump in which they have been wallowing for quite a spell. Harris is no great shucks against the right-hand hurlers, but he takes & great, fancy to those shooting from the other side. West hasn't been hitting either sort of slabbing recently, but he goes much better against the right- handers than against the unorthodox gentry of the mound. The scheme is worth & trial, Johnson figures. More and better hits are need- ed by the Nationals and Harris looks to be the lad to deliver them when | there's a southpaw on the slab. ESPITE Harris' husky hitting yes- terday, the Naticnals took & 4-to- 3 drubbing from the Athletics. It was their third defeat in two days by | the Mack minions and in each of the other games Johnson's charges were nosed out by a lone run. Eleven times this season the Na- tionals have been trounced by a single score. They also have won 11 games in which they bettered the opposition’s run total by only one. That may ap- pear to make everything even, but you | can't make the ~players believe it. Practically a third of their defeats suf- fered through the lack of a lone marker has them wondering who wished the | 3inx on_the club.

EW YORK, July 4—Jack Van Bebber, former Oklahoma A. and M. wrestler who now| competes under the colors of the Los Angeles A.

Van Bebber won eight matches, all by falls, in the national amateur wres- tling champlonships concluded here early Sunday morning, to retain the crown he won in the tournament & year ago. Van Bebber not only was the only wrestler in the tournament to win all his matches by falls, but also was the only defending champion who succeeded in retaining his title.

Max Favorite. BY RUSSELL J. NEWLAND, Associated Press Sports Writer. ENO, Nev., July 4—King Levin- sky of Chicago, one-time fish peddler who punched his way | to the status of a colorful chal- | lenger for heavyweight laurels during| his short ring career, will try to even | up an old score here late today as he | faces Max Baer of California in a 20 round bout. | The two young hopefuls met Jast year in New York and Baer won a 10- round decision. Each has made pubilistic progress since then, but Levinsky's advance appears more im- pressive. However, Baer is a slight favorite, due to his victory over Levin- sky last year and certain physical ad- vantages. NE of Levinsky's victims was Paulino Uzcudun, rugged Spaniard, who scored a 20-round win over Baer here last Fourth of July. Levin- sky also won a decision over Jack Dempsey during the former world heavyweight champion’s barnstorming tour. The Californian will hold & 6-pound weight edge. He tipped the beam at 202% pounds yesterday to Levinsky's 1963;. Baer stands 6 feet 3 inches, which is 4 inches above his opponent, and his rating as a boxer, while not impressive, is higher than Levinsky's. EVINSKY'’S ring offense is his best defense. He tosses punches from all angles and at all times. is & heavy hitter. Neither has been knocked out. | The battleground was once famous | for long-distance bouts.

MATERIAL - —BY TOM DOERER SHOTTON STEADLY STRENGTHENS CLUB Now Has Pitching to Help Sluggers—Macks Move Into Second Place. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. T'S been 17 long years since the Phillies have won a Na- tional League pennant and Burt Shotton’s men believe it’s high time they did 'something about it. Slowly but surely Shotton has been building a formidable team out of what once was one of the major league’s worst aggregations. He still is getting slugging and plenty of it from such guns as Chuck Klein, Don Hurst, Pinky Whitney and Hal Lee, but he also has tightened up the defense and rounded up a pitching staff that is winning games. Flint Rhem, Ed Holley, Ray Benge, Phil Collins, Jim Elliott and Ace El- liott are not pushovers. The Phils' thriling 4-to-3 victory | over Brooklyn in 11 innings yesterday | sent them into a virtual tie for third place with the Boston Braves, only & Knl;le back of lge umd-&‘hi; Cubs and a game leading Pittsburgh Pirates. T FFECTIVE pitching by Holley and Ace Elliott and the timely bat of Whitney beat Dazzy Vance the Dodgers. Whitney drove in the first run with a single, tied the score at 3-all with a ninth- er, and then won the game with s single in the eleventh. Vance was in rare form, aliowing 9 hits and striking out 12, but he couldn't stop Whitney. The Pirates regained the lead by beating the Cubs, 5-4, in a six-inning TRIBE'S NEW PARK AIDS LINE DRIVERS Pitchers Aiso Get a Break Through Distant Fences.

ETROIT, July 4—Manager Bucky Harris, who led a pennant-winning base ball team at Washington of old- timers, has changed his style. Today his Detroit Tigers, a con- sistent first-division club this year despite early season predictions, are the youngest team in the majors. In 1924 and 1925, when Harris put the Senators into first place in the American League, he relied on Roger Peckinpaugh, Joe Judge, Sam Rice, Walter Johnson, Tom Zachary and other veterans of the base ball pro- fession. All that has been changed. Average 25 Years. 0 marked is Bucky's preference for youth today that the Tigers, a team of youngsters, have an aver- age age of 25 years. The St. Louls Browns are the second youngest, with a team averaging 26 years. When Harris brought his team to Navin Field to open the 1932 major league season here experts had the Tigers picked &s & seventh-place team. The early games did not change thelr opinions, but within a few weeks the acquisition of the “kid” of the Tiger regulars, Harry Davis, first sacker, “made” the team. Davis furnished the spark that has kept the club in the first divi- sion and instantly became a favorite of the fans. He is only 22 years old. Youngsters Pack Punch. T was Davis, with the other young- sters of the outfit, who put the punch in the Tiger squad, Ger- «ld’ Walker, outfielder, whose hit- ting has kept him consistently among the “big five” of the league, is only Joyner “Jo-Jo" White, who alternated with Walker in cen- ter field until injuries put him on the bench, is only a few months older than the 22-year-old Davis.
