S— PAGE C—1 New York Racing Pulls Comeback By the Associated Press. EW YORK, May 11.—Thorough- bred racing in New York has staged a comeback that augurs well for the future of the sport in the metrepolitan area and the East. The Jamaica meeting, which opened last Saturday, appears to be holding #ts own financially and the officials of the Metropolitan Jockey Club, which operates the course, are predictingbetter times before the 18-day meeting ends if the weather BY JOHN B. KELLER. | T. LOUIS, May 11.—One more | match here and the Na-| tionals will resume battling | with first division opposi- tion. The next three days they will stack v against the impres- gively improved White Sox in| Chicago and the argument should | be spirited. | Today the rebuilt Chisox, in fourth lace, were but half a game behind | lark Griffith’s hired hands, so the lat- er, unless they keep their heads up in he Windy City set, might easily slip o _the bottom of the leagues select lot. | Manager Joe Cronin will look to his right-handed pitching_talent for re- fguits favorable to the Nationals in the Chicago series that will conclude the | Washington club’s first invasion of the | ‘West this campaign. He has tentatively pominated Al Crowder and Monte Weaver, last season aces of their club's | curving corps, but anything except that | this year, for the first two of the trio of tussles. | OTH were extraordinarily effective against the White Sox in the 32 scrapping. Crowder pitched to an exceptional record against the Chi-| cagoans, beating them eight times and Jever bowing to them. Weaver took their meéasure four times and lost to them just once. More pitching of that *32 brand by these right-handers and the series should be a romp for the Na- | tionals. | The Griffs, who have been mceting | many old pals now with other outfits | during their swing through the West, will run into more in Chicago. Sad | Sam Jones, Milt Gaston and George | Murray of the White Sox hurling array | used to wear Washington uniforms. | Jack Hayes, with the Nationals as late | &5 season before last, is playing a whale of a game at second base for the Windy City bunch. And another ex-National, Earl Webb, has just joined the Fon- | secamen. There will be a lot of handshaking— | off the field. FTER larruping the leather lustily | for days, the Nationals yesterday | suddenly lost their hitting habit and | passed up an opportunity to assume the commanding position in the American League race. Instead of slipping through | to the front as the Yankees were licked by the Chisox, the Capital crowd was hauled back from second to third place | by an aroused body of Browns. | The Nationals outhit the Browns, 7 | safeties to 6, but in base ball they pay | off on runs, and the score at the end of eight and a half innings was 5 to 0 the Browns’ way. The whitewashing was the second for the Nationals this season and it termi- nated a Western trip winning streak that had run to three games. For seven rounds the affair was a fine slab scrap between the left-handed Earl Whitehill and the right-handed | George Blaeholder, who, by the way, was the Browns’ most effective pitcher against the Nationals last season. Over this stretch, Whitehill yielded only two hits—both singles—and after Gulic got his single at the outset of the second session the Washington port- | sider proceeded to retire 18 St. Louis| batters in order. In the same seven rounds the Na- tionals got six hits off Blaeholder, but five came after two were out. Bluege opened the game with a hit, but got no further than second base. Boken sin- gled after two were gone in the second and two were out in the third when Bluege and Manush connected safely. Xuhel and Boken singled in the seventh under similar circumstances. Blaeholder's lone pass went to Bluege Bt the start of the sixth, but Manush | couldn’t help and Goslin drilled into & double play. ACH side got a break in the eighth. E The Nationals failed to use theirs. | The Brownsh d‘id plenty with the e that came their way. ‘mOne was out in the Washington eighth when Bluege shot a grounder to the shortstop.

ALTIMORE, May 11—Only 10 of the Preakness candidates today| appeared likely to face the barrier | saturday for the mile-and-three-six- | teenth classic test for 3-year-olds at Pimlico. | Four of the first five in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs last week | were considered certain starters along with four more strong contenders. | In case of a wet track, the list may be increased to 12 with the addition of John E.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, May 11.— The great American base ball flood and frost of 1933 will bring a rec- ord-breaking deluge of double- headers to major league fans this Sum- mer. So wide a swath has been cut through the major league schedules during the first 28 playing days of the season by | persistent rainfall and cold weather that 49 games—23 in the American and 26 in the National League—have been forced into the overbulging double- ball weather, isn't in sight yet. _ The Brookiyn Dodgers of the National League and the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League so far have been the chief sufferers by the riot of the elements. The list of postponements for all clubs, in both leagues, follows: | syA!{‘:g:‘lllc(lfz. S .Nn National. Washington Philadelphia Detroit .. Chicago ..

LOUIS, May 11.—Fans here are not raising any rumpus over Phir| Ball's latest deal that sent from the Browns to the Red Sox Rick Ferrell, a clever catcher and hard hit- ter, and Lloyd Brown, pitcher, only last Winter shifted from the Nationals, in exchange for Mervin Shea, receiver, and a cash amount reported to be $50,000. They con't bother about the Browns in St. Louils. The club might as well have a crew of clowns as a lot of good players. The American League doesn't bring ’em out in this town. The deal was solely a Ball-engineered | one, it seems. The club president didn't trouble to let any of his fellow officials or even manager Bill Killefer in on the secret. Those as close to the club as any- body not actually within its business crganization say that Ball had been trying for some time .to dispose of Ferrell in a way that would help the Browns’ treasury. Ferrell had irked the business manager on several oc- casions, beginning with a demand for $25,000 when he sold himself to the club as a free agent. And after his| salary was cut this Spring for the sec- ond time he signed only under pres- sure of necessity and sulked continually thereafter, it is reported. 10 with an oppertunity to get rid of a disgruntled player and at the same time get something that would prevent the red ink creeping too far over the ledger this season, Ball went to it. Brown had to be thrown in be- cause the Red Sox thought the price for Ferrell alone was too great, the wise ones say. That's the way the St. Louis fans size yp the deal. But it means noth- club here does. Brown is_tickled, though. “I figure PFred Schulte, National centerfielder, who retired to nurse a finger hurt when he collided with Manager Cro- nin in yesterday's eighth inning, was expected back in the game again to- day. The second finger of his gloved hand was dislocated, but it was snapped back into place shortly after the acci- dent and treatments by Trainer Mar- tin prevented any excessive swelling. Schulte does not know exactly how the finger was hurt. He thinks he may have rammed it against Cronin’s back ? Line-Up Today ANAGER KILLEFER shook up his club for yesterday's battle, sending | Reynolds to left field, Gullie to right and putting Scharein at third. He was likely to use the same combina- tion in the final game of the series. Blaeholder snapped Luke Sewell’s hitting streak. The Nationals' catcher, who had made nine hits in the first two | games here, went up three times yes- | terday and couldn’t get the ball out of the infield. Boken has yet to find a St. Louis hurler he can't hit, though. The first time up against Blaeholder, Bob looped a single to right and the third time up | he shot one to left. He fanned between the hits. | ‘With both pitchers’ going great guns, the first seven innings of yesterday’s fray were disposed of in one hour and seven minutes. It required 28 minutes, though, to play the eighth and half of the ninth. Lack of interest.in the Browns here and a sudden weather change that made the day Fall-like held the at- tendance to less than 500.

ONG JAMES ERWIN left a L trail of tears in his wake as he left The Star office for a trip to Pittsburgh yes- terday. James is the engineer of the Sarron ! Express, that bundle of speed from Bummingham, down in 'Bammy. The | Express collided with Tommy Paul in Alexandria the other night, and the judges pulled a draw out of the hat. “We beat Paul from here to Kala- mazoo,” wept Long James. And when | Jimmy weeps it is no small shower of | tears. James has been around the manly art long enough to pour | forth tears in a manner to wring | the heart of the most hardened sports writer. | “From here to 'Frisco,” wept James. And the climax of the tearful visit s the demonstration of how the fight | | as won, by none other than Pete Sar- yon, himself. When Pete went to work to show how he tock Tommy's hard | ones on his elbows, and smeared Paul with his pet punches, it sent all of the | e force to cover. | omc}’ttz's argument, steadily punc- | tuated by the moans of Mr. Long Jim Erwin, was that while Paul will be on the shelf for weeks due to cuts and bruises, Sarron himself carries none whatever. In the meanwhile Pete and Jim go scurrying on to Pittsburgh, where the former collides with Johnny Datto Fri- day night in a 10-round canter. R. JEEMS LONDOS, who, outside M of crunching young Mr. Savoldi, the Notre Damer, would like nothing better than to be the owner of a goat farm. Yesgsir. a t farm—where there is harbored a lot of billy and nanny goats. It was thought possible that the one-hall, or is it one-quarter? cham- pion of the wrestling world, Mr. Jeems, had seen about all of the goats a man would want to witness in a lifetime in t:: wrestling game. But apparently not. Bctwepe‘::‘ discussing the improbabil- ity of Savoldi meeting him within the 30-day limit set by the Illinois .Ath- letic Commission, Mr. Londos spoke of the wonderful financial opportuni- ties in raising goats for milk, and for whatever else goats are kept. So when the wrestling days of the gentleman from Greece are over he may be seen up there in Jersey outbut- ting a lot of billy goats. However, the barrel-chest James is hot over Joe Savoldi’s questionable victory over him, and just as warm over Savoldi's evasion of a return match. Jimmy feels sure that Joe will evade the issue, and adds a few more names of gentlemen of muscle whom, he con- tends, will not meet him. He thinks the mat game needs a “Roosevelt, with a big stick” to herd all of the con- | &l tenders and pretenders to the heavy- weight rassle throne where he could | B! get a whack at them. It seems some one has Jeem's goat. 'D WELLS, the St. Louis Browns’ pitcher, hung a record up for him- S self Tuesday against the Nationals. Edward registered his first hit since 1931. Which is waiting a long while for a marker, even for a pitcher. If the Nationals can whip Mr. Wells' nine a few more times this year and smack down the Chisox and the Tigers for .750 base ball, you can count the American League race as being a close one right up to the wire with the Yanks and the Griffs doing a Head Play and Broker’s Tip.

FULLERTON, JR., Assoclated Press Sports Writer. UE to the strength of the Cleveland Indians and a few other Western clubs, the New York Yankees have surrendered their place of solitary splendor at the head of the American League standing for the first time in a few days over a year. Cleveland, which held the lead for a few minutes last Sunday until the Yanks got back in the second game of & double-header, clambered up to share first place yesterday by beating | the Boston Red Sox 4 to 2, while the | world champions were taking a 10-2 | beating from the White Sox at Chicago. The situation might have been even | worse for the Yanks but for a late rally | by the St. Louis Browns which downed | Washington, 5-0, and kept the Senators | from taking a clear lead in the close race. Yesterday's victory was something of a gift as an altered Cleveland line-up failed to produce more than six hits |off Bob Weiland, Boston southpaw. | Three essors by the Red Sox made up the difference in hitting. | PHE Yanks, meanwhile, couldn’t do a thing with the canny offerings | | of Samuel Pond Jones, 40-year-old | Chicago veteran. They garnered only | six blows while the Sox, led by Al Sim- mons, pinned Lefty Gomez' ears back with a blast of base hits, drove the | slender southpaw to cover in the second |inning and netted five runs in that frame. Washigton's trouble was the Senators’ | inability to score in a nifty mound duet between George Blacholder and Earl Whitehill. Philadelphia’s Athletics hit the come- back trail as they started against the slipping Detroit Tigers and moved into fifth place by taking both games of a double-header, 3-2 and 6-4. Merritt Cain and Rube Walberg hurled good ball for the Mackmen, who hit effec- tively in the first game and frequently in the second. They got only five blows off Fred Marberry in the opener, but four walks and a homer by Bcb John- son heiped provide the winning tallies. Bad weather reduced the National League program to one double-header which saw the Cincinnati Reds lop the tail-end Phillies twice and advance to fourth place with a .500 %fir_fi e. The scores were 10-7 and 4-3. uck Klein made a noble effort to stave off the de- | feats, walloping three home runs and batting in seven runs, but he couldn’t | match Cincinnati’s six-run rally in the sixth inning of the opener nor Si John- | son’s steady flinging in the nightcap. . | STB.A%ER IN LIMELIGHT. Huron Strawser was the whole show | yesterday as McLean High School de- feated Falls Church High, 15 to 6. Not only did Strawser hurl his third straight ivictcry. but he also knocked two home | runs and a triple. His first four-baser ‘and triple came with the bases loaded.
