Cronin admits. The | boy manager still is eager to get Al- phonse Thomas going in good trim as | a starting pitcher and this right- | hander might be ordered to the mound | for the week end set-to. Stewart, though, appears the likely choice. This paix of southpaws took beatings in St Louis early this month after the Nationals had walloped the Browns for two straight. As they won, Griffith’s hands put forth plenty of poor pitch- ing, but they clubbed the Browns into submission. Both Whitehill and Ste: art hurled high-class ball, only to hav the Nationals forget how to hit. | In the two St. Louis games the Jefties pitched, the Nationals looked just as helpless at the plate as they did here eatlier in the week.

Given an opportunity yesterday, though, he showed the few hundreds in Griffith Stadium scme of the stuff that made him the sensation of the Nationals’ tour of the inland sector. Bob collected off Wallace Hebert, left-hander, a two-bagger and a triple and off Sam Gray, right-hander, a‘ single. The double was made that | good by Bob's heads-up base-running. It was a bounce off the second base- man's legs to short center. As he rounded first, the lanky Lith saw that the Browns would have trouble re- | trieving the bgll and he never hesitited in his dash for second. The triple was a corking good slam that sent the ball bounding against the open stand back ' of left-center. The single was a looper to short center. With _his double. Boken helped the Nationals toward their first run. With | his triple he blazed the way to the run | that sent them ahead. With his single he drove across two runs to put the | game well beyond-the Browns’ reach. | What little he had to do at third | base Boken did well. But it was his | display of offensive power, coming as | it did after the Nationals had floun- | dered about helplessly at the’plate for | two days, that tickled the fans. They'd like to see more of this Lithuanian lad. | RONIN, too, was prominent in the Washington attack. He got three | of his club's 14 safeties, drove two | runs across and scored one himself. The | Nationals hit Hebert plenty in the early | going, but from the second through the fifth they got only & fun an inning. | Eight hits were made before they put | over a third run, in round four. to get ahead. In the ceventh, théy bounced Hebert off the s'ab and also pumineled Gray to get three more markers Al Crowder went all the way for the home side. After a_four-hit second ses- sion, in which the Browns did all their scoring, the General allowed but two hits and as many passes, passes were issued after two were out in the ninth.

BY TOM DOERER. | NCLE SAMUEL'S young tennis men will do- until something better comes along. Out at Chevy Chase yesterday a pair of Davis Cup boys spun a pair from the Argen- tine in merry fashion. } Ellsworth Vines. a long. lanky kid with a smiling face, took Dr. Zappa of the Argentine Davis Cup team over the jumps faster than the good doctor ever has been hoisted befcre. And right behind him the busi- ness-like Mr. Wilmer Allison, pilot of the American team, smacked down Signor Cattaruzzo in a fashion that irdicated that there is going to be an European trip for the Yankee entries this semester. This Vines boy is a whizbang up at the net or in the back court. When he cut loose with his drives from the back sector the ball hit the brick dust with such force that it sent up red | clouds. Rarely was the rugged little man from South America able to get to the serve in time encugh to return it to the long boy from California. If Ellsworth could throw a base ball the wey he smacks a tennis sphero'd over the net, your Uncle Griff would be out there at Chevy Chase today with a contract and a pair of jountain pens. Uncle sure could use that kind of specd.

There was no use trying to return the tall boy’s fast ones. They were not returnable. When the doughty little Argentine physician did get his racket on one of those bee-linc serves the ball plunked onto the netting to stay there. It struck like a wad of lead. The small fellow from South America tried to make a fight of it, however He connived, schemed and tried to out- smart the lanky kid from the Coast. but Vines' hot service was two formidable to be combatted by brains. This, Eiffel Tower of tennis never lost his poise at any time of the match. And never for an instant did he lose that scihoolboy grin. He was master of the show jfrom the first swish of the rackets until Capt. Zappa, walking over to him after the match said: “You are too much for me.” Vines is a distinct tennis type. He appears ‘never to be pressing, shows no “motion in winning or losing—and there were few moments in that singles tussle esterday when he was losin ind wastes no energy in his rhythmetic notions.

West Sticks Pin in Dodgers’ Balloon < CLUB IN COLLAPSE * AFTER FINE START |Grove Saves Fifth Game in | Succession as Relief Pitcher for Macks. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer, HE Brooklyn Dodgers, who appeared for a while one of the important teams of | the National League, have | undergone a thorough process of deflation since they began to tour | the Western half of the circuit. | After winning the first three games in the West, the Dodgers turned around | and lost five out of six to Chicago and Pittsburgh and then ran into a 4-1 defeat in their first game at Cincinnati yesterday that dropped them into sev- enth place. The Dodgers’ hitters haven't been hitting; the outfield has been noto- riously weak on defense; they had & bad spot in the infield, which seems to have been remedied by shoving Jimmy Jordan from Jersey City in at shert- stop after both Glenn Wright and Jake Flowers failed to fill the bill, and their pitching went sour all at once. 'ALTER BECK, the big recruit, was the victim of yesterday's defeat. The Reds pounced upon him for five hits and three runs in the first three innings while Paul Derringer, who hadn’t won a game for St. Louis or Cincinnati, held the Brooklyn batsmen in check with seven well spaced blows. The victory sent Cincinrati into fourth place again as the Chicago Cubs knocked Boston's Braves locse from their first division berth with a 3-0 victory behind Pat Malone’s two-hit hurling and jumped up from seventh to fifth, a half game behind the Reds. Malone set down 17 Braves in a row before Tom Zachary got the first single. The first three clubs in the standing were idle as New York and Pittsburgh were rained out and St. Louis and Philade’phia had an open date. 'HE American League’s feature game presented the Iamiliar ie of Lefty Grove stepping in to save a game for the Athletics. He did 1t for the fifth consecutive game, pitch- ing the last four innings as the A's beat the Datroit Tigers, 4-3, in 12 frames and moved into a tie with the Chicago White Sox for third place. It |~ Washington regained second plac> by pasting three St. Louis pitchers for | 14 hits and a 7-to-2 victory, while Al | Crowder pitched six-hit bail to w.3 his seventh victory. | Cleveland’s four-game losing streai |ended in Boston, when the Indians | edged out a 3-2 victory in a mound duel between Mel Harder and Gordon Rhodes. A muffed fly by Dusty Cooke, Boston's newest outflelder, let the win- ning run score in the fifth. ? The opener between the White Sox and the New York Yankees was halted by wet grounds.
