SPORTS SECTION he Sundy She -_— Part 5—4 Pages WASHINGTON, D. (., SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1932, Nats Rally in Ninth to Beat A's, 6-5 : U.S. Netmen Take Doubles to Lead Germans FOUR LONG BINGLES BY MANSH DECIE Heinie Gains Second Place in League—Hits in 22d Consecutive Game. BY JOHN B. KELLER. T was Manush day at Griffith Stadium yesterday, an im- promptu affair with the cele- brating done by none other than Heinie himself. Extending to 22 the string of games in which he has hit safely, the big boy crashed two triples | and as many doubles and was personally mixed up in the scoring of five of the runs made by the Nationals as they nosed out the Athletics, 6 to 5. Manush had nothing to do with the first Washington run registered, but he did plenty thereafter and was a most important factor in the rousing rally in the ninth inning that got his ciud an even break with the A's in the two- game series It was in this round that Heinie wal- Joped his second three-bagger of the fray to drive over the tying tally and put himself in a most advantageous po- sition to tote home the big score of the battle Becomes Second in A. L. Three of the Nationals’ runs were personally conducted to the counting block and two rode home on slams oy Heinie as he collected his four hits in five times at bat to become second among the hitters of the American League. | In that nifty ninth, the Nationals walked as well as hit their way to victory. Unable to sock George Earn- shaw safely for four innings after the fourth, Johnson's charges entered their last batting turn a run to the bad and with few of the faithful in the stands expecting victory for the home side. A pass to Sam Rice at the outset of the inning. though, aroused hope. Buddy Myer sacrificed, and up came Manush Earnshaw had stopped Heinie in his previous batting turn. and after the big fellow had swung for a trio of extra-base blows. too. But this time Manush again was ready. He slashed a hit to tne right-field corner, scoring Rice and got to third just ahead of a throw Bishop had relayed from Haas. who had had much trouble retrieving the sphere carom:ng off the grandstand and right-field wajls. Connie's Strategy Fails. Here the wily Connie Mack, hoping sgainst_hope to keep the A's in the game, flashed from the bench orders to pass Joe Cronin and Joe Kuhel to fill the bases and thereby afford a fine opportunity for a side-retiring double play. On to the runway ambled the pair of Joes. But Mack's strategy was all wasted. Sammy West _swung at the first pitci sent him by Earnshaw, lofted a dinky handle hit to short center, and the ball game was over. Manush had made the plate before an opposing player reached the ball. Earnshaw did all the hurling for the A's. and after a rocky start was good until the ninth. The Nationa's got to | him for a three-run lead rigit off the reel when they clustered five of the 11 hits gleaned off the big right-hander However, Dick Coffman, trying to ying up a win after absorbing five defeats in a row since becoming a member of the Johnson band, couldn't stand prosper- ily and before the sixth inning ended seemingly was on the way to another licking Brown Hurts Thumb. Only six hits were made off Coffman, but he was generous with passcs and two of the five passes he issued were turned into runs. Dick let the A's tie in the fourth and aiter his side had regained the lead he permitted the in- vaders go ahead in the sixth. That caused Lloyd Brown to be rushed to the hill. The left-hander was nicked for two hits, the last made by Dykes in the eighth, while on its way to cen- ter, nipping Lioyd's thumb. The in- Jury so numbed the digit that Brown could not control the ball, so he imme- diatelf gave way to Fred Marberry Fred was reached for a single right away, Earnshaw rapping it to send Dykes to third, but a flashy double-play got Fred out of difficulty. Bishop lofted ' one of those teasers to short center that loked good for a hit when it left the bat. But West came in with a rush for a spectacular catch and heaved for the plate. The throw was short and Berg had to go two or three vards in front of the home base to get the ball. However, the catcher managed o fling hmself backward for a whisker O="lurn rzainst Dykes. Weaver Gets Credit. With Marberry elimmnated by a pinch-batter in the eighth, Monte Weaver came on to set down the A’s| i order in the ninth and get credit for the hill victory. Four successive hits got the Nation- als their three runs in round one. Rice doubled and crossed when Mver singled Then Manush tripled and “ronin hit for a base. The A's did their tying after two were out in the fourth ™ Foxx lofted the ball into the sun parlor ba’k of center for his fortieth home run of the vear. Haas and McNeir walked, both to score when Dykes coubled Manush's two-bagger and Cronin's trinle made after two had been retired go. the Nationals another lead in their fourth batting turn. but when Coffman blew in_the sixth the A's forged io the front. Foxx doubled and so cid Haas, but Mules hit only moved Jimmy to third. It was a high one to right and Jirmv. fearing a catch. clung to s>c- ond. so when the ball bounded from the right field fence to Rice’s hands he could advance only one base.

Johnny O'Brien, former Notre Dame | end and track man, has been added to | ing at Wimbledon, led to the possibility that_he might supplant Prank Shields as Ellsworth Vines' teammate in the Shields, who played such erratic ten- nis against Von Cramm yesterday to lose the opening singles, would face an even stiffer opponent tomorrow in Prenn, the ranking German star. BO the eflects of the hard play yes- terday and only once in the three sets today were they able to gain ihe upper hand. In the second set the Germans led. 3 to 2, in games. but Alli- son and Van Ryn quickly took the lead back. After dropping the first game of the third set the Americans ran off the next six with a brilliant display of shot-making and court coverage to close out the mateh. Cramm never was able to develop the crafty net game that bafed Shields Priday, while Prenn’s gymnastics and heavy hitting were futile gestures in (P]le face of th: American's perfect team play. If the United States takes one singles tomorrow, it will mark the fourth time in five years, since losing the cup to France at Philadelphia in 1927. that the Americans have challenged for it in the final round.
