Each side whacked a dozen saleties of assorted lengths. The | Yanks got to Walter Stewart, Jack Russell, Bob Burke and Al Crowder | for a triple, three doubles and eight | singles. Only Bill McAfee, fourth hurler hastened to the hill by Mana- ger Cronin, escaped bombardment. The Nationals landed on Don Brennan, Danny MacFayden and Herb Pennock for a home run, two triples, five doubles and four safeties. Not before in this season had Griffith Stadium | been so crammed with base hits. With batters socking so savagely and freely, the game was a rough-and- tumble brawl. Each club was in the van twice, the Yanks twice chased hordes of runners around the circuit to tie and the Nationals managed to come through with two rouicking ral- lie. to even matters, then sweep to vic.ory. 4. was give-and-take, touch-and-go throughout. Eaca side drew six passes and cach sige cashed in on three at tne plate. But the Yanks got one Tun out of tne home side’s erratic field- ing while the Nationals were virtually “handed two by New York misplays. sturing old-fashioned knock-down- ana-drag-out base ball with everybody liking it. UCH of the Nationals’ success was due to Joe Kuhel's potent punch- ng of the Yankee pitchers. First time up he crashed a triple shat sent in two of the three runs registered by the local talent in the opening round. Joe went up again in the third round with one on, iwo out and his side a run to the bad. Hits by Cronin and Schulte had driven ofl Brennan, the Yankee starcer,.and MacFayden was on the hili. Joe promptly lofted one over the right-field wall for his first nomer of the season, and that meant four tallies for his side—in the inning. It was a single by Kuhel that blazed the ‘way for the final tieing rally in the sixth session and Joe then toted across the first of the two scores that brought about the deadlock. It_was Pennock, who had relieved MacFayden in the sixth, who took the beaiing in the next inning. Goslin, Cronin and Schulte got to the veteran left-hander for doubles, but only one run resulted as Cronin, fearing Ruth might get Schulte’s hoist, hugged sec- ond and aiter the ball landed safely ‘was able to reach third base only. Kuhel couldn't help this time, but after an intentional pass to Bluege loaded the stations, Harris batted for Luke Sewell and his grounder to the shortstop got Cronin across. | EHRIG, Lazzeri and Dickey kept the Yanks in the battling right up to the finish. Each drove home three runs. After Lazzeri's hoist which Goslin muffed had put across one tally in the second frame, Dickey stepped up to double two more over for a tie. In the third the Yanks went ahead when Gehrig knocked in a marker, then tallied with Chapman as Lazzeri tripled. The triple was gleaned off Russell, who had just supplanted Btewart. Gehrig's two-bagger and Chapman's single in the fifth enabled the Yanks to tie again and they went ahead once more in the sixth, driving both Russell and Burke from the slab before McAfee came on to get three out. In this in- ning, Gehrig singled over two tallles, getting to Burke for the hit. Crowder took the hill in the seventh and got credit for the victory. He balked the Yanks for two rounds, but passed Chapman at the outset of the ninth. Lazzeri's single and Dickey’s | long fly followed to account for the | final New York score.

ITECH RANKED WITH EASTERN IN TRACK {Now Given Even Chance for Title, Instead of Latter Remaining Favorite. By the Assoclated Press. HOSE who have. been figuring Eastern would wrest back from Central the track championship | in the annual public high meet May 26 have had to revise their prog- ) | nostications and give Tech an even ) | chance with the Lincoln Park Indians. In view of heavy losses of seasoned material, Central now is not thought strong enough to win. Often comparative scores mean little but followers of schoolboy athletics here can't help but compare Eastern and and Tech cinderpathers on the basis of recent showings against Episcopal High. The Alexandrians conquered both the Blue and the Indians by ex- actly the same score, 70-57. Neither Eastern nor Tech seems to have a whole lot of extraordinary talent | in the running department, but each has boys in tile field events of real class. In the dashes Tech has Brogan and Pierson, in the quarter, Hartman, a high-grade performer; and Barr; in the half mile, Lank; the hurdles, Wal- lace; the mile, Leiss and Serota; the shotput and discus, Morrisette; the pole vault, Smith, and the javelin, Coiner. Eastern appears to have promising sprint_material in Keegin, Davis and Marcel; a hurdler of worth in Carron, a crack pole vaulter and broad jumper in Dave Sprinkle, who in a pinch can go out and get points in other field events; & otputter of ability in Campbell, and several runners who by the time of the title meet may snare off a nice cluster of points. ASTERN, Western and Tech of the public high group are listed for action tomorrow. Charlotte Hall meets Eastern in the Eastern Stadium, Hyattsville High will appear at Western against the Red Raiders and Tech goes over to Alexandria for a match with the not so hot Episcopal nine. Emerson and Georgetown Prep are to battle at Garrett Park and Central and Friends have a tennis engagement on the Friends courts. Both Roosevelt and Eastern, oppon- ents this afternoon in the Eastern Stadium in the first game of the public high series, won yesterday. The Ruf Riders downed National Training Scheol, 4-2, and Eastern drubbed Emerson, 10-2. Eastern socked 15 hits to lick Emer- son. Using 21 players the Indians scored four runs in the second inning to take the lead and clinched the game in the ninth with five more.

OTH the Western High School boys and the Central High School girls this year sucessfully defended their titles as interscholastic indoor rifle team champions in the Natlonal Rifle Association matches. In the boys’ division, Western scored 2,830 out of a posible 3,000 points to retain its title, together with the na- it won for the first time last year. Cen- tral Hifih, 1929 winner, was runner-up this year with 2,820. ‘The individual scores of the Western team were Randolph Grimm, 585x600; Dana Wallace, 566, Hal Clagett, 562; John R.

The match required each team member to fire 40 shots prone, 10 kneel- ing and 10 standing at 50 feet. ‘The Central girls, who have won the girls’ interscholastic title every year since the match was started in 1927, captured the championship this year with a score of 1,466 out of a possible 1,500 points. The members of the team were Eleanor Ingram, Gertrude Sher- man, H. Rayner, Jean Thompson and Clara Hall. The match called for 30 shots prone at 50 feet by each team member. Stadium High School, Tacoma, Wash., was runner-up to the Central girls, with 1,444 out of 1,500.

Danny MacFayden, the right-hander who sports specs, and Herb Pennock, veteran portsider, made their bows, but neither started so auspiciously as did Bill McAfee, young right-hand reserv- ist of the Griffith Guards. ! Ordered to the slab for the first time | in the campaign, McAfee made himself | one of the real heroes of the game. He wasn't in there long, but he got the Nationals out of an extremely dan- | gerous situation. | Bill came on in the sixth after the | Yanks had chased Jack Russell and eliminated Bob Burke by banging a double, two singles and getting a pass | to put across two runs for a lead. None‘ was out and runners were on first and third bases when the third pitcher of | the inning put in his appearance. | Chapman, first to face the newcomer, did nothing more than bound to Bluege and Ruth was trapped off third base and erased. Lazaeri, who previously had driven across three runs, also found McAfee tough. Tony's best was a roller to Cronin and Chapman was forced out. Along came Dickey, who had slammed over two tallies, and all he did was tap to the pitcher to leave Gehrig stranded at the far corner. McAfee gave way to a pinch-hitter before the next round started, but he had done enough for his club. He just about saved the ball game. IOR a flock of athletes supposed to be weakened by an epidemic of colds, the Nationals looked right strong as they struggled through their longest game of the season. It took them nearly two and a half hours to get the better of the pesky Yanks. Manush got back to take good care of left field and with his sprained wrist well strapped he managed to collect & brace of singles. Goslin had a tough time of it, what in the inning, staggering same batter’s long fly in the third and striking out twice. But the Goose did make a sparkling catch of a foul put up by Ruth and he doubled to start that all-important seventh inning in which the Nationals swept to victory. OTH sides resorted to the inten- tional pass. The strategy worked when the Nationals walked Crosetti and filled the bases with Yanks in the fifth for MacFayden became an easy out.

'Caldwell, Blithe BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. ECENTLY a brief news dispatch told of the retirement of Ray Caldwell from bese ball at the age of 45. The older generation of base ball fans will recall Slim as a pitcher with the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians. He should have been one of the greatest pitchers of his time, for Caldwell had a mag- nificent delivery and was far above the average as a bafter. But in his major league days Slim was a blithe spirit who liked convivial companions and had a fine disregard for time after Caldweil finished his major league career more than a decade ago after i vl Artist on Mound, Power at Bat| Spirit in Prime, | | i ,and his face was like & thunder cloud. “What's wrong?” I asked. “Do you know what I am going to do,” snarled Bill. “I am going to buy Caldwell and three others upper berths and put them on a 24-hour train to New York and trust they die of the heat.” But Bill didn’t, and that after- noon Caldwell played in the outfleld and made a couple of hits. No one ever could be angry with Caldwell long, for his was a happy disposition. Speaker s nded Ray once for breaking training rules. = Scme one wrote that “wine and song” had caught up with Ray.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports ‘#riter. N the basis of the early re- turns, the Chicago White Sox threaten to become a source of considerable em- barrassment to the rest of the American League. Thanks principally to the addi- tion of such batsmen as Al Sim- mons and Mule Haas, the Pale Hose, who had won 8 games out of 11 from the St. Louis Browns, Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers today were in a virtual first-place tie with the New York Yankees, and generally were get- ting much better pitching than any one had reason to anticipate. Lack of pitching, the experts said, would ruin Chicago’s hopes of pushing into the first division. It still may, but so far Lew Fonseca’s moundsmen have been more than adequate. They've allowed only 34 runs and 73 hits in 11 games while the Sox were scoring 52 runs on 101 hits. They made it three in a row over the Indians yesterday, winning a 5-4 decision as Vic Prasier and Joe Heving outpitched Wes Ferrell. Frasier al- lowed only seven hits in the first eight innings, but weakened in the ninth, and Heving came in to stop an Indian rally one run short of a tie. EANWHILE the Yankees were suf- fering their second successive de- feat at the hands of the Wash- ington Nationals, 11-10. Successive doubles by Goslin, Cronin and Schulte in the eighth gave the Senators the two runs they needed to win, for Al Crowder, fifth Washington pitcher, stopped the world champions with one run in the ninth. Jimmie Foxx went on a batting spree, clouted his third home run, three dou- bles and a single and led the Phila- dslphia Athletics to a 16-10 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Detroit made it three in succession over the Browns 4-3, although St. Louis drove Carl Fischer to cover with two out in the ninth and had the tieing and wimning runs on base when Elon Hogsett retired the side. 'HE National League program Wwas restricted to two games, the New York Giants beating the Brooklyn Dodgers 4-0, and the Phillies nosing out Boston's Braves, 6-5. in 12 innings. Carl Hubbell gave Brooklyn only four hits in winning his second successive shutout, while the Giants made £o0d use of the eight hits they made off Joe Shaute. Hubbell has pitched 30 innings this season and allowed only one run. Al Todd’s pinch single in the twclfth with the bases filled was the blow that gave the Phillies a thrilling victory over the Braves. Chuck Klein hit his first home run of the season in the fifth and also contributed a double and single. NINES IN TRIPLE TIE Mount Rainier Deadlocks Series by Beating Hyattsville.
