¢ Foen > WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JULY 21, :G—I;ffmen to Tac CROWDER T0 FACE MACKS TOMORROW Saturday Pitching Choice | Uncertain—Brown Comes | Back, Beats Tigers. k BY JOHN B. KELLER. OLLOWING the wind-up this | afternoon of the series with | the Tigers, the Nationals will do some battling with Eastern foes for three days. To- morrow and Saturday the Ath- letics will be the guests of the Johnson band while on Sunday the Red Sox will show in Griffith Stadium. That's no easy schedule for the | Nationals. True, they have played | the A's to an even break this sca-l | son, but the A’s beat Johnson's charges the last three times they | met them and right now are Pilot Fonseca Leaves Club streaking along. As for the last- place Red Sox, they have llcked‘ the Nationals more than they have any other club. | In all likelihood Manager Johnson | will send Al Crowder to the firing line sgainst the A's tomorrow. If the gen- eral starts he will be after a win that would make him 50-50 with Mack's minions this vear. In five tussels with them he has succumbed three times. Johnson had hoped to save Monte ‘Weaver for one of the games with the A's. but eager to get a little more out of the Tiger set, the Washington manager was to employ the professor this after- noon. Al Thomas. wha has been worked pretty hard recently, will not be in trim to tackle the A’s. Which means that Johnson must pick ' spend much of his time during the | from Marberry, Burke and Coffman for one of the tilts with the holdover cham- pions of the circuit. EATING the Tigers 4 to 1 yesterday to end a three-game losing str the Nationals pulled up to cven terms with the Harris horde on a game basis. However, they have played more | games and lost more than the Tigers, so Johnson's charges need victory in the series final this afternoon to get themselves back in the first division Lloyd Brown did the pitching as the Natlonals triumphed and his hill win raised him to a tie with Weaver for the honor of leading the Washington curv- ing corps. Each pitcher now has won 13 games and lost 5 Brown is swinging along at a much ewifter pace than he did last season ‘Then he finished with a record of 15 victories 2gainst 14 losses. Two mor? wins and he will be even with the good side of his 1931 book. And there isn't mush chance of matching last year's poor side. | As the Nationals took the measure of the Tigers, Heinie Manush cra(k(‘d‘ a brace of hits thereby raising to 19 the consecutive games in which he has batted safely. That's the best string of games with hits for any of the Natior als this vear. Early in the campaign Sammy West had run one to 18 games recent strong hitting has m quite close to the select slug- gers of the majors. He is apt to crash that group soon. HERE was nothing startling about the Nationals' punch as a whole vesterday. Th made but nine hits off the bespcctacled Victor Sor- rell. which was just the number of safeties the Tigers gleaned off Brown Among the nine hits, though, was a most timely one by Moe Berg. It was a double slammed in the sixth inn when the bases were full with two out The blow meant three runs back of th one the Nationals had just put over to match the tally the Tigers registered in the fifth frame.

The Giants and the Reds were bitter enemies, and in those days every fan in Cincinnati seemed en- dowed at birth with a particular and lifelong hatred of McGraw and the Giants The train stopped at a tiny station just outside the city and McGraw. in an expansive mood with his ball piay- ers around him, spied a farmer sitting dolorously on a fence chewing at a straw.

July 21.—In his first appearance here since his re- cent and none-too-triumphal invasion of Europe, Primo Car- nera, gigantic Italian heavyweight, suc- ceeded in stopping Jack Gross of Phila- delphia in the seventh round at Ebbets Field Wednesday night. With only 10 seconds remaining in the stanza and the count at eight, Referee Arthur Donovan waved Carnera to his corner the winner. even though Gross had reached his feet in a wabbly condition, wanting to continue. Gross was glassy-eyed. and while the bell would have saved him. had he gone down again, another blow might have caused serious damage.

TLANTA, July 21.—Georgians agree that Gene Sarazen is Bobby Jones' successor as the emperor of golf, but when some one suggests Gene is better than Bob the home folks get out their book of statistics. ‘Their survey of the 11 United States open championships in whch they both played showed Jones leads the New Yorker by 71 strokes. By wnning the American and British open crowns in the same year, Sarazen has approached Bob- by's “grand slam” as closely as is possible for a professional who is not eligible for the amateur com- petitions. Jones’ average strokes for the 11 tournaments starting in 1920 and ending in 1930 was 206, Sarazen's 302 plus. Jones won four open tour- L] naments in which Sarazen played, while Sarazen took only one in which Bobby participated, with Jones a stroke behind and tied for second. Bobby finished ahead of Gene in nine of these tournaments. His average round was 74, Sarazen's 75 plus. Jones never finished farther back than eleventh, that in 1927, when he consumed 302 strokes. Sarazen was thirtieth in 1920 with 311 strokes and seventeenth the fol- lowing year with the same total. On other occasions he ranked six- teenth and scventeenth. In 1920 Jones was eighth, and a year later, fifth. In every other tournament— excepting the bad year 1927—Bobby was either first or second. Jones’ lo¥ score of 287 was made in 1930. Sarazen's low of 286, which tled Chick Evans' record—was compiled this year. tandem, | PAGE C—1 kle Eastern Foes Next : Indians Best in Infersectional Series BAG 14 TILTS, LOSE FOUR,ONEREMANS ‘Yanks and Macks Keep Pace. | Klein’s Batting Defeats Bucs—Cubs Lose. 1 | | | | BY HUGH S.
