Sports News SERIES WITH TRIBE OPENS 13TILT TRIP Whitehill Slated to Hurl First Game—Myer to Top Hitting List Again. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, May 1.—Out ‘ where the West begins, the Nationals are putting on no May day demonstra- tion, but only because the Ameri- can League schedulemakers left this a rest period for them. To- morrow, though, the Washington athletes make their first thrust of the season at the Western battle line and at the conclusion of the two weeks' offensive they should have more than a fair idea of what to expect through the re- mainder of the championship course. The Nationals long have found Western swings unfruitful, but seems better than others sent out from the Capital in recent years. The Cronin-led crew is apt to surprise the inland sector this time. There's mystery in the West, though. Great feats by pitchers have been numerous out this way in the early going. Some of the experts have claimed the superb slabbing has been brought | about by deadening of the ball put out | for the American League. Others fall back on that ancient alibi, “the pitchers are ahead of the batters” in explana- tion. Neither bit of explaining has a reasonable ring. The same kind of ball has been in use in the Eastern sector and while | pitchers there have done a choice lot of chucking they have not as a group matched the Western hillmen in con- sistently fine work. So that ‘“‘deadened ball” alibi does not sound right. And mixed with the low-hit games in the West have been plenty in which the batters freely slammed to the out- lying reaches of the parks and beyond. They still are hitting out this way. That throws out the argument based on the possible advanced state of the Western pitchers. Maybe it's a matter of the pitchers being just what they should be after their weeks of training down South and the batters in general not such good batters, anyway. That's some- thing the Nationals will learn shortly. IRTEEN games are scheduled for | g the Washington club this trip and right off the reel they encounter one of the West's t clubs. The In- * dlans-loday were ih fourth place and right at the heels of the Nationals. Thus this set here may turn out to a struggle for third position or, perhaps, second should the White Sox do some slipping. g"el:\cflmt place might be gained by T the Nationals, for the Yankees are to tackle the Tigers in Detroit the next three days and anything might happen there. But a climb to the top by the Washington club in this Cleveland serles is nothing more than a remote possibility. From here the Nationals will move to Detroit for a three-day stand against Bucky Harris’ rebuilt Tigers. ~The Harris horde has had & lot of fine hurling this Spring. but it has not been batting for fancy figures. Bucky thought he hed an improved club at the outset of the campaign. Now he is experi- menting with it again. The third series for the Cronin crew out this way will be played in St. Louis, where veterans with the club will run into old pals. How comparisons will be drawn as Nationals and Browns clash, with Schulte and Goslin, former St. ‘Louis stalwarts, plaving against West ‘and Reynolds, ex-Washington stars. JAnd Stewart, picked up_from the sBrowns, may run against Brown, sent ~out from the Nationals, in a southpaw &lab scrap, too. The longest series of the trip, one of four games, will be played in St. Louis. After that the Nationals will invace Chicago for a three-game set with the ‘White Sox, the surprise club of the year. Lew Fonseca’s hands have Chi- cago fans dizzy these days. not been accustomed to seeing the Sox soar since the davs of "20. OSE veterans of the battle of Grif- fith Stadium, standing after an enforced five-day rest and peyment of $100 fines, will see action against the Indians tomorrow afternoon. Buddy Myer, one of the principals in_the beginning of the big rumpus in Washington last Tuesday. goes back to second base and Earl Whitehill. who was a main figure in the Jater scuffiing with the Yankees, goes to the hill to lefthand his stuff to the ‘Tribe. Manager Cronin says the batting order that was in vogue before the com- ‘bat will be resumed. Mver will return to the head of the hitting list, while Ossie Bluege will be dropped from first to seventh position. ‘The athletes arrived here early this morning with nothing to do but enijoy | a hackman’s holiday later on This afternoon all planned to visit the big city stadium which the Cleveland club uses to watch the Indians and White Sox battle.

D, May 1.—Winning in overtime was one of the best things the Natiomals did last season and it seems they haven't lost the knack. In the 1932 campaign, the Washington club took 12 of 15 extra-inning games in which |it engaged. In the current campaign, |1t has gone beyond the regulation nine ’mnms twice to carry on to victory each time. Playing on their home lot yesterday, the Nationals rallied twice to take the Athletics past the ninth round, then put across a twelfth-inning run to tickle the 14.000 in Griffith Stadium | with a 5-to-4 win Not until after two were out in the | twelfth was the decisive tally manu- factured by two of the younger mem- ! bers of the Griffith Guards. Joe Kuhel | slapped a single and made second when | Centerfielder Cramer cuffed the ball {about. Up to the plate went Bob ! Boken, third-string second baseman, to |let one wide one go by then rifie the ! next pitch to right. | And the ball game was over. 'T was Robert Moses Grove, master | 1 | 1 southpaw of the White Elephants, | this aggressive “new deal” club who took the licking. Bob, in the | ninth, had gone to the relief of Rube | ngberg. another lefty, who had limited | thd Nationals to three hits but had been :tzood generous with passes for his own good. The Nationals got their second and third hits off Walberg in the seventh | to back a pass issued to Schulte at the outset of the round. Kuhel singled, | then Sewell doubled to chase in a run. | After a wide one had been pitched to | him, Crowder was replaced at the plate by Harris. The sheriff put up a high | one to short right that looked of no help, but Kuhel, taking a desperate chance, dug for the plate as Bishop made the catch and barely beat the | throw from the second baseman. | " That off-set the scoring the A’s had | done in the fourth and fifth with four hits and a pass off Crowder, but Con- nie’s clan came back in the eighth to get two more markers, this time at Al Thomas' expense. Bishop walked and there were two ox;‘ when Kerrf, covermg first, dropped the throw from pitcher who had picked up a sacrificial bunt. Thomas tightened to throw third strikes by Cochrane and the mighty Foxx, but Cherokee Bob Johnson, who had driven over the first Mack run, doubled to put across two more. he Fpenin WITH SUNDAY MORNING: ‘WASHINGTON, D.

As a starter, Boken batted for Kerr only to loft out. Sewell, t.hou%):. got & pass off Walberg. The Rul then hurled two wide of the plate with Berg. batting for Thomas, up there. Here Grove was rushed to Walberg's relief and with two pitches he completed a pass for Berg. The boy manager im- mediately sent in the fleet Rice to sprint for the sluggish Berg. A smart rap by Bluege went right to Cihocki, but the shortstop failed to check the ball cleanly and the error let Sewell score and Rice reach third. Manush put up a foul that Cochrane should have had, but_the catcher did not go after it and Foxx missed the catch after a hard run. Heinle, though. fouled again and this time the third baseman bagged the ball. This put it up to Goslin. | "rhe Goose took a strike, then swung |at a bad ball for a second. Then— whang! A single to center and the game was deadlocked for the second time. ILL MCcAFEE did the flinging for the Nationals after they put over that ninth-inning tie and made a good job of it to get credit for his first win of the season. He ylelded three of the dosen hits the A's got during the pastiming and twice got | himseit out of ticklish situations. Bishop opened the visiting tenth | with & single and Cramer sacrificed. But McAfee knocked down Cochrane’s hard bounder, then threw to Bluege for a rundown of Bishop. After that he took good care of Foxx. ‘With two out in the twelfth, Bishop | again singled and when Boken threw the ball away after checking Cramer's one-baser there ware A's on second and | third. But Cochrane got nothing more | off McAfee than a bounder to Boken. | | This time the sub second baseman | made a clean play. | Their overtime win left the Nationals in a second-place tie with the White Sox and one and a half games back | of the leading Yanks, who copped two. No pruning of the Nationals’ squad need be done May 15. It was reduced to 23, the legal limit after the middle of this month, by shipment to Chat- tanooga yesterday of Bud Thomas, rookie pitcher. The Lookouts got the Faber boy subject to return on 24- hour notice. CENTRAL, EASTERN CLASH TOMORROW Outcome Should Have Im- portant Bearing on High School Race. ENTRAL and Eastern, picked by many to fight it out for the public high school base ball crown, go after each other to- morBw afternoon in the.Eastern Sta- dium at 3:30 o'clock. The result should have important bearing in deciding the ultimate victor. It will be Central's first series test, but the second for Eastern, which conquered Roosevelt, 4-0, in the opening game of the set. Should Eastern emerge victorious, it will, it is thought, be exceedingly hard to head. Central's squad, hard hit by injuries, will start a patched-up line-up, and Eastern is the choice to win. Shorty Chumbris, shortstop, and held by Jackie Ray, Central mentor, to be the best player in the high school series, and Bill Bryant and Lefty Chumbris, out- flelders, may not play. Cec Hale is slated to start on the mound for Eastern, which probably is the reason he won't. You know how Chief Guyon, the Eastern coach, is. He delights in crossing up the guessers re- garding pitchers. Joe Sullivan is a possible starter. Cowan is likely to open fire for Cen- tral, with Silverman and Smith in re- serve. Dunlop is carded to catoh, De Lisio to play first base, Nau second, Raub_short, Gregorio third, De_ Petro ITf'i“fleld, Keyser center and Wetzel right. OOSEVELT and Western of the public high group also have dia- mond engagements tomorrow, the former against Bethesda-Chevy Chase | High on the Monument Grounds, and the latter against Washington-Lee High at Western.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. F the Western clubs of the American League can do their bit toward helping out the Washington Senators this month, it looks as if there might be some tough sledding ahead for the New York Yankees. Largely at the expense of the Yanks, the Senators have climbed into the contending position that was predicted for them. In their recent series, they took four out of five games from New York, the only ones the Yankees have lost in 15 starts. ‘Then, perhaps just to show how tough they can be, the Senators beat the Philadelphia Athletics and the great Lefty Grove, 5 to 4, in a 12-inning struggle yesterday, to make it four triumphs in a row and seven in their last _eight games. Twice the Senators overcame two run leads by the A’s, first against Rube Walberg, who started the game, then against Grove. Finallv, with two out in the twelfth, Joe Kuhel stretched a m to two bases and Bob Boken, second sacker, cxught one of Grove's fireballs on the nose and brought him home with the winning run. 'HE Yankees protected their hold on first place by lining up their big gurs behind some smart pitching by a pair of recruits, Russell Van Atta and Don Brennan, and cleaning up the Boston Red Sox in a double-header, 11 to 2 and 8 to 3. Lou Gehrig and Tony Lazzeri hit two homers apiece and Babe Ruth one. Chicago's White Sox clung to their second place tie with Washington when Paul Gregory held the Cleveland In- dians to six hits to win 3-1. The De- troit Tigers and Bt. Louls Browns slugged it out all the way through a twin bill and broke ever. ‘The Browns pounded four flingers for 17 hits and took the opener, 11-8. Gerald Walker and Johnny Stone walloped two hom- \;rs apiece to give Detroit the second, -1. Boston Braves, climaxing a sud- den rise from the Naticnal League cellar to the first division. shovel the New York Giants right out of first place. Combining some excellent pitc:.- ing by Ed Fallenstin and a timely homer by Wally Berger, his fifth, the Braves beat the Giants twice, 3-0 and 8-4. Fallenstin pitched three-hit ball in_the opening duel with Carl Hubbell. Pittsburgh regained the lead by walk- ing roughly over the weakened Cincin- nati Reds 8-1. Minus Jim Bottomley and Chick Hafey, the Reds got only five hits off Waite Hoyt while the Bucs scored all their runs in two big innings. ‘The Brooklyn Dodgers also had a big inning and gave the Phillies their fifth ?ettlng s start a homer, they piled hits om of walks to score six runs in the eixt! Z Rogers Hornsby, coming back to Chi~ cago for the fist time since he was ousted as Cub manager last August, played an important part in gaining an even break for the St. Louis Car- dinals in a long double-header. The Cubs pounded out a 7-5 victory in the opener, but the Rajah evened it by when Frank O | pasting a homer with cne on in the third inning of the nightcap and paving the way for a 5-3 Cardinal victory.
