SPORTS. NATS ARE CRIPPLED BACK OF THE BAT Spencer Sent Home Il and Berg Has Hurt Hand as Western Trip Opens. BY JOHN B. KELLER. T. LOUIS, July 26.— Eddie Ainsmith, who has not been behind the bat as a major leaguer for eight or nine ears, 4 2 za.tchex!J for the Nationals during their second invasion of the West this season. i His regular catching staff sorely be- set by illness and injury, Manager Walter Johnson today was expected to request Clark Griffith, Washington Club president, to have made eligible for service as a player one of the Na- tionals’ two coaches, who formerly were catchers. 1t is believed Ainsmith and not Patsy Gharrity will be shifted. While Gharrity might be better at bat than his fellow coach, Ainsmith is deemed the faster afoot and apparently has the stronger throwing arm. When he caugat for the Nationals more than 2 decade ago, Ainsmith was & battery mate of his club's present x;mnager and was highly rated as a receiver. avsvnhgnh); Nationals' roster up to the maximum of 23 players permitted by the American Leagde rules, to make Ainsmith or Gharrity eligible for duty as an active player it would be neces- sary to shunt to the voluntarily retired list one of the present actives. It i said by those in' charge of the club that such a move could be made with- out weakening the Nationals. 9 Roy Spencer, the club's first-string catcher, was to go home today from Cincinnati, ill, presumably, with ma- laria. Moe Berg has been catching the as. week with a painfully split left nd and though slated to continue be- hind the bat, his injury may force him out of action at any time. Howard Maple is too inexperienced for any ex- tensive service. Right now, the Na- tionals need nothing so much as an ad- ditional receiver. Spencer complained of nothing more than a slow-healing injured knee, when he left Washington with the Nationals Sunday, but he took to his bed yester- day immediately after the club arrived | in’ Cincinnati, where it stopped over for an exhibition game with the Reds. He .had contracted a heavy cold, it seemed, and was running a temperature, A physician, who called on Spencer twice during the day, feared the iliness might be a recurrence of the malarial attack the catcher suffered while with the Nationais in training at Biloxi, Miss., last Spring. Spencer Sas ordered to Temain in bed until today, then, if possible, to retun to Washington for rest and treatment. He is not expected to rejoin the Na- tlonals while they are in the West. ROWN, Weaver, Crowder and Thomas. That's the pitching . slate Johnson has announced for the four-game series with the Browns | that was to get under way in Sports- man's Park this afternoon, but the or- der of starting is not definite. Brown was to go today, provided the | left thumb bruised by a batted ball in last Saturday's game ain was in good trim. This morning, the Nation- als’ premier lefthander believed he might be ready. Whether he started today or not, Lefty will be seen in the serics. Crowder, due to see action tomorrow or Thursday, will be facing the Browns for only the second time this season. He did not get into the first two series the Nationals had with them and when he tackled Killefer's men in Washing- ton in the third series they pinned back his ears late in a game. Ko Thomas finally got into that battle | to get the pitching victory, then went on to beat the Browns in two more games. In the current set, Thomas will | not_hurl until Friday. | Coffman, transferred from the Browns | to the Nationals when the latter last | visited here, will not start against hlS‘ former teammates. Authority for that | is Walter Johnson's flat declaration. | In fact, Johnson has intimated he will| not start Coffman much during this swing through the West, unless com- | | pelled to do so. For this series Manager Killefer has quite a pitching problem with which to wrestle. from a six-game series with the Tigers played tn three days, in which all their urlers had to toil. That might help the Nationals, who usually need all the help they can get %o their battles here. 'TOPPING over in Cincinnati yester- day, the Nationals visited Redland Field to take an 8-to-1 licking from the Reds. For years the Wash- ington ball club has been poor in ex- hibition games staged during cham- plonship campaigns ind in this latest effort showed no improvement. ‘The Nationals’ 10 hits off Benny Frye, who went the route for the National League tail-enders, were not so well scattered—twice three safeties were bunched in an inning—but in the early going, when Johnson's charges found it easy to get on the runway, their scoring punch was not there. Bob Burke opened fire for the Na- tionals, pitched tbree fine innings, then went to pleces. Nine of the Reds’ thir- teen hits were gleaned off Burke, eight accounting for the four markers chalked up by the home side in the last half of the lanky left-hander’s six-inning term on the hill. Ed Edelin, rookle, went to the slab I for the first time since Joining the club late in June to take a two-inning turn against the Reds, He was wild and not 80 hard to hit The Nationals were the first to score, but once the Reds got Burke's range B they were the whole show. ANUSH got three hits, one a double, to head the Washington offensive in Cincinnati . . . Durocher, who used to shortstop for the Yankees some seasons back, did enough to beat the | Nationals . . . Aside from playing a| swanky game in the short field, he drove | across the Reds' tying tally, carried a score over and later batted in another | run . . . Kuhel and Rice were the only Nationals playing throughout the exhi- bition who fafled to hit ... Taking over the information mike the last two innings, Al Schacht gave a play-by-play broadcast after the McNamee manner . - - The 117 cash customers in the Red- land field stands got more kick from Schacht's description than from the pastiming. ALEXANDRIA NINE AHEAD Captures Semi-Final Legion Game, Beating Fredericksburg, 24-1. ALEXANDRIA. July 26.—Alexandria American Legior’s ball team drubbed the Predericksburg Legion nine, 24 to 1, in a semi-final game in the State title series here yesterday.

Leads Rival In Stolen Bases NTEW YORK, July 26—According to the latest batch of major league records, the American is leading the National in stolen bases, 320 to 263. The Detroit Tigers head the American League teams with 65 steals, followed by the Yankees, 55; White Sox, 52; Senators, 37; Browns, 33: Red Sox, 27; Cleveland, 26, and Athletics, 25. Some critics attribute the failure of the A's to ‘win more games to their slowness of foot between the bags. In the National League the world champion Cardinals are showing the way with 55 steals. George Gib- son’s Pirates, who are leading the race, have pilfered 48 sacks. The Dodgers come next with 34; Phillies, 33; Boston Braves, 26: Cincinnati | Reds, 26; Giants, 21, and Cubs, 20. For the Yanks fleet Ben Chapman has stolen a whole team’s total him- self. Today he has 27 thefts to his credit and almost every day sees this total mount. ROGER CRAMER 0UT TILL NEXT SEASON Bad Shoulder Break Proves Good One for Jobless Johnny Jones. s | By the Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, July 26.—Roger (Doc) Cramer’s only chance of | | getting back in @ regular base | ball game this season is for | Connie Mack's Athletics to win the American League pennant, it appeared | today. | Cramer broke his left shoulder bone | yesterday when he fell heavily while trying to catch a Texas leaguer from the bat of Joey Sewell, New York third baseman. Specialists explained that the crippled | “Doc,” second only to Jimmy Foxx in Athletic batting averages, will be able to leave the hospital dn about three days for his home at Manahawkin, N. J. but his arm will not be removed from a sling until about September 1. Several more weeks after that will be in shape to play again, and by that time the regular playing season will be nearly ended. Should the Athletics head the Yankees, however, Cramer likely would ,be able to play in the world series. Cramer's bad break was a good one for Johnny Jones, a Philadelphia young- ster who was stranded at Albany, N. Y,, when the Eastern League disbanded. Jones was attending the game yester- day as a paying spectator when Cramer was crippled. Connie Mack knew Jones was jobless and in the park, and had him paged. ‘was signed as a utility outfielder. Connie for a job, but was turned down. | Cramer’s accident gave him his big | chance less than two hours later. o i ormsuomLmo ra .2b M'rissey.3b. Gilbert.3p. .

NINE SHOWS REVERSAL OF FORM Not Playing Kind of Ball That Earned First- Half Honors in League. G. in the Departmental League, but if the Typos are doing any walking in this second serles, it's backward. For the second time in as many games, the Printers went down to de- feat yesterday, Bureau of Investigation following up Naval Hospital's surprise victory by eking out a 6-to-5 decision and taking the lead. Allowing only nine hits and runs in only two in- nings, Eddie Collifiower, blond right- bonder for Investigation, sent the €leuths’ hopes for the second series title soaring. It was a see-saw tilt. Investigation scored in the third and G. P. O. came back with two in the fourth. The Sleuths added two more to take & 3- to-2 lead in their half of the fourth, but the Typos scored three rums in the fifth, which more than matched Investigation's single tally in the same frame. But another in the sixth and in the ninth gave Ty Rauber's crew victory. IC GAUZZA will continue as presi- P.

MILES FROM HOME WITH A SIMPLE LITTLE ONE CYLINDER ENGINE A CHILD couLD OPERATE JULY 26, 1932. —By WEBSTER FANS'FUN LIMITED T0 HIDE AND SEEK Go From Lightless Outdoor | Arena to Indoor Plant to See Poor, Show. | | Messrs. Goldie Ahearn and Anthony Bertolini, Bolling Field’s rassle master minds, just wouldn’t |let it in the door last night. Instead | they staged what resembled a fire drill in school and a soapbox speech by | Mr. Strangler Lewis. It was a beautiful night for most anything, even rassling. Broad grins wreathed the faces of Messrs. Ahearn and Bertolini as auto after auto un- burdened the 1,600 spectators who made | the journey to see the Strangler and | his playmates tussle and toil. | The spectators filed into the out- | door arena and waiteq expectantly | But alas—the lights wouldn't go on The crowd waited for 20 minutes. Then a rush—somebody had yelled “Let's go inside.” The crowd rushed into the renovated | airplane hangar—stuffy in the Sum- |mer and an ice box in the Winter. They pushed and shoved and finally got inside. _ Then the lights in the outdoor arena Aashed on. Some of the more persevering rushed back outdoors again and grabbed seats. Messrs. Ahearn and Bertolini held a conference. The delay muddled the situation, but it finally was agreed to stage the show where most of the peo- ple were. They did, but the mess must have discouraged the wrestlers. It | wasn't even good burlesque. The two<fall-to-a-finish plan was to have been inaugurated last night but it, too, fell through. Lewis tossed George McLeod in jig-time in the feature match to score the first fall. McLeod then retired to dressing room for a “rest.” It was a long one. He didn't return. So the Strangler made a speech composed entirely of the old oil —*“T'll post money to meet Londos and wrestle him in your fair city for charity”—and like baloney. The only real match was the Billy Bartush-Frank Spears thing, which was a draw. Other results: “Masked Mar- vel,” who later walked out of his dress- ing room and through the hangar un- masked, tossed Bull Komar in 15 min-, utes; Glenn Munn threw Joe Devito in 7 minutes; George Manich threw Ar- thur Dick in 16 minutes and Fazal Daulu threw Bill Middlekauf in 3 minutes.

By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, July 26—The punching honors were all even today between two of the coun- try’s promising young heavy- weights, Steve Hamas of New York, former Penn State all-around star, and Lee Ramage of San Diego, not long out of high school. Hamas squared matters last night in 10 exciting rounds by battering Ramage | all over the ring at Wrigley Fileld, be- fore a crowd of Olympic notables, scor- ing two clean knockdowns and gaining the decision of Lieut. Jack Kennedy, the referee, by a wide margin. Ramage won their previous bout on points last Winter. The bell saved Ramage from & knock- out in the third round after he had twice been slugged to_the floor by Steve's terrific lefts. The California boy took a count of eight, staggered his feet and went down in a heap his own corner from another barrage He was reclining helpless when the beli sounded at a count of three. Ramage came back so gamely in the fourth to weather another storm of leather that Hamas was arm Weary and baffled. The Penn State slugger was so tired he took a severe counter punching for two rounds before again taking command. Ramage was punched groggy again at the close of the sixth and eighth rounds, but he had enough left to slug head to head through the last round. Hamas was the aggressor, but fre- quently wild and a mark for his oppo- nent’s left. He won seven rounds and Ramage three, the first, fourth and fifth. Hamas weighed 188 pounds and Ramage 175%.

CLEVELAND A TIE THREAT NEXT YEAR Detroit Also a Possibility for 1933 as Macks Are Fading, Too. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. VEN if they coast through to the American League title, 1t is doubtful the Yankees i will stay up there longer | than one term. The Ruppert Rifles are net the same type of club they were back in the halcyon days of Waite Hoyt, the “schoolboy wonder,” and the old “murderers’ row.” True, many of that famous crowd are still around, and they are doing yeo- man work in the Yanks' current drive. But they no longer make up a team that is young and full of fire and just reaching its peak. Fellows like Ruth, Combs, Lazseri and Little Joe Sewell cannot be expected to star much longer, and Manager Joe McCarthy probably will have to do plenty of revamping next season. He will have pienty to build from, & fine nucleus in Gomes, Allen, Dickey, Geh- rig, Crossett, Chapman and the rest, but history proves it takes more than one year to build a champlonship club. With the Philadelphia Athletics get- ting no better fast, the Cleveland In- dians, & young, courageous outfit that just are realizing their strength, loom as the best bet at the moment, with De- troit a possibility. Pirates are Different. In the National League, where the ‘here | Pittsburgh Pirates threaten to run away from the fie d, there is an entirely dif- ferent situation. If George Gibson does drive his youngsters under the wire first there is no good reason why they should not stay up there a couple more yeat.. ‘With the exception of Pie Traynor at third base and the Waner boys in the outfield, the Pirate line-up fairly sparkles with youth. One of the veterans of the Athletics’ championship machine, George (Mule) Haas, came back to grasp the headlines in the only game played yesterday in either league.
