Deep-Seated Griff-Yank Enmity Undiminished, Despite Truce Due to Penalties HARRIDGE'S EDICT OKAYED BY PUBLIC Ciubs Alone Dispute Punish-| ment Myer, Whitehill and Chapman Incur. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, April 29.—Offi- cially the battle of Griffith Stadium is a closed inci- dent. But fines plastered on the veterans of that offensive, | their suspension and the warning | given the clubs that further flare- | ups of their feud will bring more | drastic punishment, do not ease the tension between the Nationals | and the Yankees. The enmity is genuine. The fight- Wng that interrupted the game in the Capital last Tuesday was a natural con- sequence of a bitterness that has been | brewing the last two years, a bitterness not to be softened by edicts of a league executive The conduct on the field in the cur- rent series more closely scrutinized than usual by the umpires, acting under ex- press orders of the circuit chief. Na- tionals and Yankees have effected a temporary truce. But series to come hold threats of more pitched battles. Public reaction to Prasident Willlam Marridge's disposition of the affair is favorable. While heavier punishment for the brawlers was anticipated, the five-day suspensions and $100 fines im- upon Buddy Myer and Earl tehill of the Nationals and Ben Chapman of the Yankees are regarded fair and just. It was generally felt that the American League head could not condone ruffianly conduct on the playing field, but the average fan did not want to see inflicted a penalty so severe it might intimidate players and | rob the sport of much of its color. All seem satisfied with Harridge's de- | eision except the two clubs involved. Each naturally blames the other for the flare-up in Washington and each thinks it took a worse beating than the other,| in the punishment handed down. Na- | tionals and Yankees aren't saying much | now. but there's a smoldering resent- | ment in both camps that will blaze high when fanned by a flurry on the ball field. FEW hours before Harridge an- nounced the penalities yesterday, the clubs and players involved | feared the league president would go the limit in punishing the battling three—giving each a 30-day suspension and a $1,000 fine, such as was handed Bill Dickey, the Yankee catcher, last July after he swung and broke the jaw | of Carl Reynolds, then a Washington outfielder. concerned were told what had been done, there was much shaking of heads by club officials who found fault even with the light punishment. Clark Griffith, president of the Ng- tionals, had a grievance. “I am makii no protest,” he said. “But I do believe Chapman was the cause of all the trouble and feel that he should have drawn a longer suspension than Myer. 1 don't think anything should have been done to Whitehill. We are taking a two-to-cne beating in this case, it looks to me.” Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, would make no statement, but Joe McCarthy, their manager, con- tended that Chapman should have drawn no suspension, but said he was “quite willing to let matters stand on the president’s verdict.” Joe Cronin, Washington's boy mana- ger. was pleased to learn the suspension of Myer and Whitehill were short, but still insisted that Chapman was at fauit in the mix-up. Myer expressed the sentiment of the three punished combatants when he said, “The president of the league has made his decision, and it is not for me to make any comment.” ITH the notice of suspension and fine that went to both clubs, Harridge said he warned Nationalsand Yankees that the ill feeling which has developed between them must not break out in another scrap. “And the warn- ing goes to the six other clubs in our league,” he added. “We all want ag- gressive, alert play, but rowdyism must be stamped out. The next case of fight- ing, if one should come up, will not be dealt with so leniently.” In his decision, Harridge found Myer, Whitehill and Chapman equally guilty of rowdyism. “Myer was to for kicking Chapman, Whitehill s guilty of addressing Chapman im- properly and Chapman was at fault in not passing up Whitehil's remarks under the circumstances,” league president. He stated that he got no report from his umpires, Morjarty and Geisel, that Chapman had deliberately spiked Myer. As the suspension is etroactive, dating back to Wednesday, Myer and Whitehill will be available for duty &t the outset of the Nationals’ West- ern invasion next Tuesday. Just as well, perhaps, that they could not be used in the series in the Bronx Park. Stars Yesterday By the Associated Press.

Yet as soon as all hands | said the Victory Over Ya By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. EW YORK, April 29.—Down in ‘Tennessee the old penmanship books always had engraved at the top of one of their pages the copying classic of the little red school house, “If at first you don't suc- ceed, try, try again.” Many a day in his youth Walter Stewart with his left | hand laboriously traced that ancient | wheeze until at last he came to accept |its preaching without question. He brought it with him into the American League to become renowned as the most determined southpaw slabman in the business. Walter had been showing plenty of determination with the Nationals with- out getting anywhere until yesterday, whert in his fourth start with his new club he hurled a 10-inning game to a 4-t0-3 decision over the world cham- | plon Yankees, his first victory of the season. TEWART had everything in this fourth start, and he made the aft- ernoon most unpleasant for th New Yorkers despite the close score Just six hits were made off him, but only two were solid socks. One was a homer lined into the right-field stand by Bill Dickey in the seventh inning to tie the game at 3-all and the other a double hit to left by Earl Combs after | two were out in the tenth. This latter put plenty on his pitches to Joe Sewell, | and the best Joey did was send a soft | roller to Second Baseman Johnny Kerr | to end the contest. Babe Ruth’s fourth homer of the | season made off Stewart in the sixth| | inning when Sewell was on first by | | virtue of a pass wasn't such a hot| hit, although it counted as much as a | powerfully propelled one. The Babe Jjust managed to get one on the handle | of his bat and loft it into the bleachers | back of right. It was merely a good fly that barely cleared the barrier and | would have been but a fair chance for | an outfielder on any one of several| | other playing grounds, Washington in- cluded. T was off George Pipgras that the Nationals got their win to maintain their third-place tie with the Indians in the standing of the clubs. They reached George for 11 blows, but after collecting 5 in the first 2 frames wasted their efforts until the tenth when 2 singles settled the issue. Passes to Bluege and Manush.

Cronin began the winning drive when he opened the tenth with a single. Schulte put down a sacrificial bunt, then Kuhel hit for a base to send over the big tally. ORE than 25,000 turned out to see the veterans of the battle of Grif- fith Stadium. but after mildly boo- ing Myer and Whitehill during pre- game practice, the crowd proved any- thing but hostile to Washington. To- ward the end of the contest the New York fans gave Stewart a great hand repeatedly. It_was the 223d successive time for the Yanks to escape a shut-out in league competition. Prexy Harridge of the American League was an interested spectator at yesterday’s game. He was the guest of the Yankee owner, Col. Ruppert, at the contest, but was Clark Griffith’s guest at dinner afterward. Harridge is remaining over for today’s engage- ment, after which he will return to Chicago. POTENT PACIFISM A b WASHINGT!

ALTIMORE, April 29.—The for- tieth running of the Maryland | Hunt Cup, oldest cross-country race in the country, drew 14 horses to | the post for the classic in Worthington Valley today. A stellar field and a fast course brought prospect of a new record, bet- tering the time of 8 minutes 5135 sec- onds made last year by Troublemaker, owned by Mrs. T. H. Somerville of Wil- mington, Del. ‘The 4-mile timber event over 22 post- and-rail fences was originated in 1894 as a race for Maryland gentlemen to test the speed of their favorite hunt- ers. A 12-inch silver tankard has been | awarded annually since the first race |to the winning owner. Only two horses represented Mary- land in today’s running. They were Hubar, owned by Howard Bruce of Bal- timore, and Bll Clark. owned by D. K. Este Bruce of Baltimore.

Jack Ready, who started on the mound for Western, was relegated to the cooler in the fourth, when McKin- ley gained a 10-to-6 lead. Frank Grimm replaced him and while he was not so very good he was not relieved, doubtless because Coach CUff Moore figured he had no one that could do better. Bubba Wiles, who was Tech’s starting pitcher, also was forced from the picture in the early going. He| went out in the third with none out |G after Western had scored three runs.
