A—10 S GRIFFS' GARDENER GREAT ON DEFENSE Sammy Saves Day as Club Wins Seventh in Row at Browns’ Expense. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HERE may be better defen- sive outfielders than Sammy West, but they are not play- ing in the American League. The fleet and st,rong«a.\'med1 middle gardener who just about | saved the day for the Nationals| yesterday when in the eighth in- ning he grabbed Bruce Campbell’s burning liner, then, with a mag- nificent throw, cut down at the plate Fred Schulte, trying to tote across the run that would have put the Browns ahead, is in a class by himself in his own circuit. When followers of the junior major loop pick their favorite de- fensive pastureman, West gets the | vote. Sammy'’s sterling exhibition yesterday was merely another sample of his day- | in-and-day-out work. He has been go- | ing great guns all season; and given & fair break the remainder of the way s West will be head of the roving out- flelders again. West now holds the major league rec- ord for outfielding. Back in 1928 he showed at the end of the campaign a flelding percentage of .996. By far the finest performance on the books. In his 80 games this year—injuries kept him out of five engagements—West has fielded for an average of .985. He has had a total of 268 chances and has made 254 putuots, 10 assists and 4 er- ors Sammy has gone through his last 50 games without a slip-up. His last error was made in the second part of a twin bill in New York on May 19 West's value to the Nationals® defense | 1s, indeed, great. 0 VLY one game out of second place after their 8-to-7 triumph over the Browns, the Nationals now are three percentage points out of the first division instead of two, as they were before yesterday's tussling. They still are even on a game basis with the fourth-place Tigers, though. The Johnson band has played four more games than the Harrismen and | PORTS Yankee Barrage Rivals Warfare YORK, July 16.—Jack Rus- I q 1I's experience when the Yanks tarted to slap the ball right back at him in the seventh inning of yesterday's Cleveland-New York game recalled the old story of Rube Lutze when he was playing third base for the Indians. One day when Joe Shaute was pitching, Rube was bruised by suc- cessive line drives from the bats of Ruth, Gehrig and Meusel. Meusel's shot laid him out, and Shaute, walk- ing over, asked solicitiously: *“Are you hurt, Rube?” “Am I hurt!” snorted the Rube. “A guy was safer in the World War than a ball game with these guys.” NINE NOT WORRIED BY MANY BEATINGS Federal Employes’ Unionists Getting Experience for Next Season. HE team percentage resembles & pitcher’s batting average and no illusions about the 1932 Depart- mental League flag chase are held, but the Federal Employe Union- ists, crack doormats of the sandlots, ill are shufiing along, taking four or five socks on the whiskers for one vic- tery, and right glad to get ‘em. The Unionist long ago gave up any ideas about proving the class of the De- partmental loop—that is, during this season. But the circuit’'s newest and most inexperienced club is retaining some high hopes for next year. The potentialities of the Unionists were shown yesterday, when the Agri- culture club walked into a 4-to-2 defeat when Harris of the Unionists limited the opposition to 5 hits, while the heretofore weak-hitting Employes banged | out 12 safeties, including a home run by Pitcher Harris. Washington and Baltimore Police nines this afternoon were to clash in Baltimore in the first inter-city game between the two departments. The tilt is slated for Oriole Park. Frank Watt, former Philly pitcher, was to hurl for the Washington nine; Baltimore recently downed Norfolk and the Army. Results Yesterday. G. P. O, 6; Treasury, 4 (Departmen- tal League). THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, S Oldest Class B Loop Gives Up Ghost After Quincy Club Withdraws. By the Assoclated Press. ECATUR, Ill, July 16.—After operating since 1901, with only the war year, 1918, as the sole interruption, the Three-Eye League today had given up for the season. The oldest class B league in the coun- try and a training ground for many who later starred in the major leagues, it finally was fcrced to call it & season last night when it became known that Quincy could no longer compete with non-paying attendances. Decatur dropped out Tuesday and the Danville franchise, operated by the St. Louis Cardinals, was transferred to Springfield, Ill., which had been forced to the wall. The move was made in order to attempt to finish the season with four clubs, but Quincy, failing to obtain help from a major league club, made the cold-up certain by collapsing. Bloomington, I, and Evansville, Ind., dropped out before the season opened, ill‘a\'mg Quincy, Springfield, Decatur, Terre Haute, Danville and Peoria to at- tempt to carry on. ‘The league had clubs in Illinois, In- diana and Iowa in its early years. B B BOXING FEUD UNSETTLED Antonelli and Romano Still Even After Second Battle. ‘The score still was tied at 0-to-0 to- day between Nick Antonelli and Sammy Romano, who began a little boxing feud a few weeks ago at Griffith Stadium and continued it last night at the Army Medical Center. | For the second time, the pair went | to & draw last night, a six-rounder.

O. will meet Walter W West Wearing League’s Outfield Crown : Kremer Joins Pirates 3-Hit Piichers IBSON'S THIRD ACE TURNS 1100 TRICK Yankees Halt Indians’ Rush. Simmons’ Three Circuit Drives Fruitless. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. IVAL managers of the Na- tional League should have the privilege of protesting to Commissioner Landis or somebody if George Gibson of the Pirates pulls just one more three- hit pitcher out of the hat. By all the standards, Gibson al- ready had exceeded the bag limit by producing two such phenoms as Steve Swetonic and Bill Swift in a single season, but he has hauled out another to make life miser- able for the opposition. Remy Kremer is the latest to come under the Gibson spell. All but forgot- ten in the excitement created by his younger teammates, the veteran had more or less been watching the parade go past until he wes turned loose against the Boston Braves yesterday. The result was a 1-to-0 victory for the Corsairs, and in the process Kremer allowed just three hits, two of them by Wally Berger. It was only the sec- ond complete game for Kremer this season, and in the other he was beaten by the same Braves. ATCHING the leaders stride for stride, the Chicago Cubs humbled Brooklyn, 8 to 3, as Lonnie War- neke Tegistered his thirteenth victory. Charlie Grimm knocked in four Cub runs with a home run and a single. ‘The Phillles fought 12 innings before they subdued Cincinnati, 4 to 3. Red Lucas’ string of 18 complete games pitched was broken when he was re- lieved by Benton in the tenth, and Benton was charged with the loss. Freddie Lindstrom’s homer with the bases full and Mel Ott's four-bagger with three on featured the Giants' 12« lo-); triumph over the St. Louis Cardi- nals. LEVELAND'S wild ride through the eastern sector_of the American League was halted when the Yankees knocked Wes Ferrell from the hill and won, 8 to 5. Lefty Gomea scored his fifteenth victory. Despite Al Simmons’ three home runs and a double, driving in six runs, the Athletics dropped an 11-to-10 de- cision to Detroit in 11 innings.

CHICAGO, July 16 (#)—Jamestown, tal fandom may look for almost anything from its ball club With their pitching faltering late in yesterday's fray, victory was almost Wwrenched from the Nationals' grasp. After piling up a healthy lead in the first two innings, the Johnson outfit pulled up, and when the Browns finally got the gauge of the local pitching, the | situation became acute. | Al Crowder, after hurling masterful | ball for five innings, weakened some in | the sixth and in the eighth lost all con- trol of his game. Dick Coffman and Monte Weaver proved everything but | Telief hurlers, so Al Thomas was rushed in. and he scored his second successive win over the pesky St. Louis bunch. But that great play by West was the | real game-saver. } T was a free-hitting affair, that sec- | ond tilt of the St. Louis series, With | each side knocking out 16 safetles. | The Nationals got 10 of their hits in | the first two rounds. The Browns got a dozen of theirs in the last four, mak- ing 10 in the two sessions in which they did_their scoring. George Blacholder opened fire for the | visitors, and he was warmly greeted. | Six of the first seven Nationals to | step to the plate walloped, the break coming after four had driven the ball to safety. When Ossie Bluege, seventh up, tripled, Manager Killefer decided | Blacholder had been on the hill long | Roy Spencer immediately found Gray | enough, so Sam Gray was trotted out. for a single, and the sixth run of the | batting bee crossed. | Two singles and a double were made | off Gray in the second inning, but only | one run resulted, for the Nationals were retired when they had the bases full. Thercafter the Johnson band was checked for some time, but the Browns | weren't. With doubles leaping from | the bats of the first three men up in the sixth, they got two runs, and after one was out in the eighth they really went to work on Crowder. hits—one a double and another a triple | —in a row, thev put over three tallies, and the General left with a St. Louls Tunner roosting on first base. | Coffman went to the slab to _make | four pitches and pass George Fisher, batting_for Gray. Then Weaver as- sumed Dick’s post, to be whacked for a single by Schulte that scored Levey and sent Fisher to third. Burns doubled to push over the tieing marker: ous went Weaver and to the hill marched ‘Thomas Campbell_slammed a liner to deep cented and West did his stuff. T was the Nationals' old pal, Bump Hadley, who took the beating in the eighth innnig. And after he had retired two batters, too. Bump made the mistake of passing Sam Rice, the first batter up. Buddy Myer, after twice trving to sacrifice, let a third strike go by. and Heinie Manush's best was a hoist to the right fielder. But Cronin drove a double to the left-field corner and Rice romped to the plate. Melillo’s single after two were out was all the Browns could do to Thomas in the ninth . . . West, in addition to making his great play in the eighth, had a perfect day at bat with a single and three doubles . . . Spencer was bowled over when he tagged out Schulte | in the eighth and had to take time out, but he came back for the last round . . .| Cronin, attempting to score from sec- | ond, only to be nipped by Goslin’s heave, | when Kuhel singled in the eighth, ran over the Nationals' mascot and severely shook up the youngster . . . but the Nationals' triumph was medicine enough for the little fellow.

ERE is a simple rig that will en- able you to fish near the bottom without fear of your minnow or frog burying itself in the weeds. As shown in the illustration, at- tach a small cork about half way between your sinker and hook. This cork keeps the bait up, but still al- lows it to swim freely about. The cork offers no hindrance or drawback and the rig can be cast as easily as the ordinary hook-up. ‘What are your fishing and camp- ing problems?
