Lloyd Brown is slated to open fire against the Browns because the left-hander was the sole Washington slabman to score a victory when the Na-‘ tionals invaded St. Louis in June. | Johneon figures that Brown, who is | gecond in the standing of the Capital | clubs curving co:ps, is just the hurler | to give the Nationals a worth-while | start on thelr trip.

ZCUDUN, SCHAAF OPEN RING SERIES Bout Part of Plan to Find Foe for Sharkey—Walker Starts Comeback. B the Associated Press. A EW YORK, July 25.—While the national boxing calendar for the current week doesn’t reveal anything resembling a title fight, there are a few weighty affairs down for settlement that may do some- thing toward clearing up the heavy- weight situation. Heading the list is tonight’s 15-round struggle between Paulino Uzcudun and Ernie Schaaf at Madison Square Gar- den’s new arena on Long Island. It is regarded as the garden's first gun in an elimination tournament to discover & logical challenger for Jack Sharkey's title. At the same hour tonight at Newark, N. J., Mickey Walker will start a come- back campaign against Salvatore Rug- girello, the Italian heavyweight whom Schaaf knocked cold in the Gar- den last Winter. dto| A third heavyweight engagement to- do better than it did when out this way |night occurs at Los Angeles, where Jast month if it would return home in | young Steve Hamas goes against Les the first division of the league. | Ramage, the coast star who gave him a During the June tour of this sector | Surprise defeat not long ago. 4 the Nationals got only an even break in [ Thursday night Benny Leonard will the 16 tilts they went through. | find out for good and ail whether they ever come back.

They were fourth s they began the string of 24 tussles in Grifith Stadium and were no better off_after winning 15 and losing 9. These was hitting enough to satisfy all of the 5000 in the stands as Na- tionals and Red Sox put on the Sunday battle that concluded the Washington stand. The home side made 18 safeties and the visitors 13. And the Nationals copped 12 to 6. Tommy Thomas went the route for the Johnson band and kept the Red | Sox well in check until the eighth when they staged a four-run rally of which | the feature was a homer driven into | the open stand back of left-center by big Dal> Alexander when two of his teammates were roosting on the run- way. | There were no homers by Nationals, but they went in for distance hitting nevertheless.

And an- other run for good measure was Teg- istered in the eighth. Manager McManus threw almost all his pitching staff into the fray. Larry Boerner, the Washington by, started end went into the third inning to take the licking. But the left-handers, Bob Weiland and Johnny Michaels, also took a deal of punishment.

GROVE'S SGALP JOY 10 YANKEES' STAR {Macks Lose Second Place as Gomez Realizes Ambition. Bucs Hold On. BY GAYLE TALBOT. Associated Press Sports Writer. | EFTY GOMEZ, who in less than two seasons has risen to the status of the game's greatest pltcher, finally has achieved his most burning ambition—a personal tri- umph over Robert Moses Grove, the veteran he supplanted. The two great southpaws clashed yesterday for the first time, and the | Yankee star scored an impressive vic- tory, 9 to 3. It marked the Castilian’s sixth consecutive win over the Athletics this year and his ninth in 10 times he has faced the former champions in two years. | JT turned out to be not much of a battle. While Gomez did his part. shutting_ the A’s out with four hits until the eighth inning, Grove was bat- tered for 11 hits and gave 6 bases on balls. Joe Sewell led the Yankee at- tack with five blows, including a home run. The defeat cost Philadelphia second place in the American League, the Cleveland Indians passing them with a pair of victorles over Chicago, 9 to 7 and 9 to 6. St. Louis and Detroit broke even, the Tigers taking the first, 6 to 2, after a first-inning _outburst that scored four runs, and the Browns coming back in | the nightcap, 10 to 7, to give Wally Hebert his first win in nine games. Although Dale Alexander clouted a home run with two on, the Boston Red Sox bowed to Washington, 12 to 6. Five pitchers tried their hand for the losers. | HE Pittsburgh Pirates held their four-and-one-half-game lead over the National League by dividing with Chicago. The Cubs captured the first, 7 to 2, as Lonnie Warneke reg- istered his fifteenth victory, but the Corsairs took the second. 7 to 5, thanks | to some great relief pitching by Bill | Harris and a homer by Gus Subr with two on.

Shadows of the Past BY I C. BRENNER. HICAGO, July 25—The tentative program_for Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney's Equipoise for the re-| mainder of the season includes no more | handicap affairs and imposts of 134 pounds. | Following his defeat, the first in| | eight starts, by Plucky Play in the | | Arlington Handicap Saturday, Trainer Fred Hopkins said the sensational 4- | year-old stake star would not be asked | to give away huge chunks of weight again, at least this season. Equipoise was beaten only by & neck by Plucky Play, carrying 134 pounds, to 111 by the victor. “If we continue to run him in handi- caps,” Hopkins said today, “he may take more and more the worst of it until it reaches a point where he might suffer physical harm. I am sure Mr. Whitney would rather sacrifice purses | he might win in handicaps than have the horse suffer injury.” The schedule includes the Hawthorne Gold Cup here August 27 and the Saratoga and Jockey Club Gold Cups, all weight-for-age affairs, .in the East.

By the Assoclated Press. ARIS, July 25.—For the fourth time in five years the United States has qualified to chal- lenge France for the Davis Cup, emblematic of world tennis supremacy. Three times since 1927 Uncle Sam’'s forces have tried unsuc- cessfully to wrest the trophy from France's defenders, and they will have another opportunity Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Ro- land Garros Stadium. The Americans’ narrow margin of victory over Germany in the interzone finals finished yesterday, the result of a complete failure by big Frank Shields in his two singles matches, left the strength of the invading squad a sub- Ject of debate. Only the fact that Ellsworth Vines, jr, American and Wimbledon cham- pion, was able to win both his singles tits turned the tide for the United States. Wilmer Allison and Johnny Van Ryn made the final score three matches to two by winning their doubles encounter in straight sets. £ VINFS clinched the series in yester- day's opening match by defeating Baron Gottfried von Cramm, 3—8, 6—3, 9—17, 6—3, after a two-hour battle. The slender Californian was not at his best, having passed a restless night after partakillg of pork and cucumbers, The closing match, with nothing at :?‘ue(e.ss:wl the veteran Dr. Daniel Prenn ? ields a ten: of 6—1, 6—0, s—a.ng;lz"?mn o Shields’ collapse, leaving America | with only one dependable singles player, | made it highl¢ probable there will be a | change in the line-up before the series | with " France. ~Bernon Prentice, non- | Playing captain of the United States | squad, declared he would not decide on the line-up until the day of the draw but there was a strong belief that Wil- [ mer Allison will supplant Shields in at | least one singles engagement.

But in the nd the bounding Gasque was drafted, and will join Henrl Cochet, Jacques Brugnon and Christain Boussus in de- fense of the cup.

The crowd | was with Germany all the way in the | three-day series just concluded and was highly demonstrative during Vines' tus- sle with Von Cramm yesterday.
