HILADELPHIA, June 7.— | They call this place the city | of brotherly love, but when they come here the Nation- | Prove Harassing. als are nothing more than “Cous- | Boken. Higgins. Mahafley (3). Coleman (%), | ins” to the Athletics. After the shabby treatment they have had here Griffith’s herelings will be| glad to leave for Boston after to- day’s set-to with the clan Mc- Gillicuddy. Beantown may not prove such & pleasant spot for the Nationals this time, though, the way they have not been playing tip-top base ball lately and the way they have been harassed by Red Sox this season. m;our games are to be played in three | days in Boston, the series opening to- morrow with a_double-header. ~Time was when the Nationals would h“vsi welcomed such a set as a “breather’ after being buffeted about by a lot of fiery youngsters such as Connie Mack has under his wing. But this year the | Red Sox have developed the habit of making things very unpleasant for the ‘Washington outfit. Of the eight games with the lowly Bostonians this campaign, the Na- tionals have won five. But only one of the victories was anything like a walk- over and twice the Red Sox have grab- bed a game that seemed firmly in ‘Washington's grasp. Lack of success here has not got the | Nationals down and they'll carry plenty | of fight into Boston. But they're a bit shaky and looking for almost anything | to happen even when playing a tail-end | aggregation. HEN the Nationals came up here} for this tussling with the A’s| manager Joe Cronin thought his | itching staff was about to take a turn fm‘ the better. His starter, particularly, | did look on the mend after tedious weeks of suffering. But they have had | a relapse here. The Mack hitting has | not agreed with them. This may mean that the reserve end of the staff will be pressed into service at the outset of some of the engagements in the ‘Yawkey-Collins establishment at Fen- way Park. Cronin _intimated today that Jack Russell, Bill McAfee and Bob Burke might be called upon to show their wares against the Red Sox without | having to warm up through four or five | innings before getting into a game. Burke is especially eager to be sent | out as a starter. He is the only mem- | ber of the Washington staff without a | win to his credit this season, and Sir | Robert_believes Boston might be, his | spot. It was against the Red Sox that Bob pitched his scoreless no-hit game back in '31. Burke looks & much more | finished pitcher these days and Cronin might do well in firing him at the Boston boys. 'HOULD the weather be as warm in Boston as it has been here, Luke Sewell's string of games with the Nationals may be snapped. The stocky | catcher has started in evéry one of his | club’s 48 engagements this season and | has been relieved rarely, but he could stand some rest right now. If the heat proves trying in Fenway Park tomor- row, Sewell probably will go behind the bat in only one of the games of the double-header. With Sewell idling, Moe Berg instead of Clif Bolton very likely would don mask and pad for the Nationals. Cronin regards Berg one of the best receivers in the business. Not so long ago the manager remarked that Moe, hitting up to Cochrane’s mark, would deserve equal ranking with the Mack star as an all- around catcher. —_— M’CLUSKEY RECOVERS Throat Well, Ram Distance Star to Compete at Chicago.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, June 7—Dour tales come from the midlands. There | is not a university of the West- ern Conference that does not view the approaching Fall with min- gled emotions of hope and apprehen- sion. If foot ball receipts don’t show a marked improvement over last year— they fear they will not—the sheriffs of many Midwestern counties are going to be busy men next Winter. Spring practice revealed a sorry state of affairs; old equipment—nothing new bought—and old uniforms, rags and | tatters. Squads reduced, coaching per- sonnel cut. Coaches and sports direc- tors of one of the most famous of the Big Ten schools have received no pay at all since last November. The uni- versity in question has been allowed $2,600,000 for the next year's budget, whereas $6,000,000 is the usual aliot- ment. So the college president avows departments will be closed. 'HE whole trouble with athletics out there, says a man who should know, is too tremendous overhead. Huge stadia to pay for, field houses, other athletic plants. In the gold rush of the 20s the future was mortgaged without stint or thought. | Now what is to be done? Well, the foot ball crowds have got to make the turnstiles click, that is all. And if they don’t! Notre Dame, of all the midland group, may view the coming season with equanimity. If she does not have the best team that ever took the field for the Blue and Gold, it will not be the | fault of the material. That freshman bunch! Wisler, who won for the fresh- men against the varsity mainly by him- self, will be the greatest running back of the past two decades. So they say. Officially his weight has been given out as 210, but don't you believe it. Two hundred and thirty-five is the correct avoirdupois. Fighting weight, too. the Western Conference Wisconsin | will be the team to fear, for whether the Badgers win or lose it will mean wear and tear simply to run into the big fellows. Eastern partisans of Illi- nois, who have been led to believe that the Ilini will have a come-back eleven next year and will hold Bob Zuppke responsible unless the team tears things up, are herewith advised that the Illi- nois material is not so hot and the eleven is not likely to come very far back. If it does, collections for a zlanpke statue at Urbana will be in order. League Leaders By the Associated Press. (Including yesterday's games.)

THE slump of the Baltimore Leafs has made Newark's task of keeping on top of Orioles and Toronto Maple the International League standing : | somewhat easier, but the Bears so | | far have failed to shake off the Rochester Redwings. Today the 1932 titleholders led the | Redwings by only a game and a half, | but Toronto and Baltimore, in a virtual |tie for third place, were three games further in arrears and presented no immediate cause for alarm for the pace- setters. Newark and Rochester both won yes- terday while Toronto, simply by being idle, returned to third place a few per- centage points ahead of Baltimore, which was beaten by Jersey City. HARLEY DEVENS and Marvin Duke held Albany to nine scat- tered hits as Newark pounded out a 6-2 decision. Devens blanked the Sen- ators for six innings but was replaced by Duke midway through the seventh frame when Albany scored one run on Jimmy McLeod’s home run. Newark collected 12 hits off three Albany pitch- ers, Johnny Neun driving in four runs with a triple and single. Rochester got the benefit of . tight pitching by Tony Kaufmann and beat the Montreal Royals, 2-1. Art Smith pitched well for the invaders but was the victim of Bob Parham's game-win- ning home run in the sixth inning. Kaufmann allowed 10 hits but was | strong in the pinches. Jersey City bunched its five hits in two innings to defeat Baltimore, 6-5. The Skeeters scored twice in the second inning and then added four more tal- lies in the third, three coming over on Val Picinich’s homer. Home runs by Buzz Arlett, Julius Solters and Dud Branom were among the nine hits Bal- timore made off Charley Perkins and Ed Pipgras. CAVALIERS HONOR LAUCK Retiring Captain of Track Team Is Given Loving Cup. UNIVERSITY, Va., June 7.—William J. Lauck, jr., of Fredericksburg, Va., re- tiring captain of Virginia's track team, has been presented a loving cup by members of the Cavalier squad as an expression of their appreciation of what he has done for the team. Lauck, who is a candidate to receive the bachelor of science degree in archi- tecture next week, has won two first places in almost every dual meet in which he has competed. He has also set new university records in both the mile and the two-mile runs. Against Navy the Virginia captain covered the mile in 4:15.7. Two weeks earlier he had broken the 2-mile mark in the meet with Maryland by running the distance in 9:45 YALE POLOISTS BEATEN.

To Griffs; 8-4 By a Btaff Correspondent of The Star. HILADELPHIA, June 7.—One of the great disappointments this “season for those in charge of the Nationals has been the failure of Walter Stewart to pitch consistently good base ball. This left-hander, pro- cured from the Browns in a Winter deal, trained wonderfully well down South and club leaders were confident | he was in for a great year. Yet in 10 starts - Stewart shows a record of only 2 victories against 5 defeats. Those two wins came in succession. He went 10 innings to beat the Yankees on April 28, then went 9 to beat the Tigers on May 7. The next time out to the Browns. Since then in four starts he never has gone more than six and two-thirds in- nings and that only once. He pitched that far yesterday and was charged with the beating the Na- tionals took in their 8-to-4 encounter with the Athletics. It was Stewart's fourth start against the A’s this year and his fourth defeat by them. ALTER'S start yesterday was his first in nine days, yet he had only three good innings in his arm after all that rest. He gave the A's | eight hits and five passes and was a | beaten pitcher before the fourth inning ended. | In this inning, with one out, he | walked two batters in succession and one scored when Higgins doubled. Here | | Stewart purposely passed Williams and filled the bases, hoping to find Roy Ma- | haffey, Mack hurler, a mark at bat, but MahafTey hit Stewart's first pitch for a double and three more runs crossed. Cramer, first up in the seventh, hit |the ball hard, but directly at Cronin and was thrown out. Then Stewart ran up distress signals as he walked John- | son, | Cochrane followed with another over the same barrier. Bill McAfee finished the inning. Then the A’s got a run off Bob Burke in the eighth, when they made two hits, but the run was not of the earned kind. Walter again went the route, but lost | That was on May 11. | Along came Coleman to slam a | | home run over the right field wall and | Stewart’s Slab Failure :l_olt Loss to A’s Is His Fifth, Against Two Winsjl | JRLEVEN hits were gleaned off Ma- | | Lahaffey by the Nationals and they |~ used five of them for their scariny. | They got & run in the third from singles by Sewell and Manush with Stewart’s | sacrifice put down between the hits. In | |the sixth they made the game close by | getting two runs from singles by Goslin, | | Schulte and Boken with a wild pitch | Imixed in. And after the A's sealed | their victory in the seventh, the Cronin crew tallled again with a double by Harris, Myer's infild single anu Manush’s long fly. | | There has been a turn for the better In the Mack pitching.

Boken got the call at third. Ossie was expected to be back in the line-up today. MPIRE McGOWAN missed one in | the sixth.

Payne Whitney's | M Give Three Cheers, and a Tiger! Washington Alumni to Feast ssau’s Gridiron Prestige. BY TOM DOERER. | R. FRITZ CRISLER, Prince- | ton University’s foot ball and basket ball coach, | who took the Tiger grid| team off its left ear, and placed | it upon a secure footing, will ad- | dress the Washington Princeton | Alumni Association tonight at the Chevy Chase Club. | T do not know what Fritz is going | to tell the boys. But I know what they want to hear. And it's something about the Tiger's chances of getting back upon the foot ball pinnacle where it belongs. And a few things about re- viving the Big Cat’s waning prestige. ‘There is this, ver: FPritz, Prince- | ton and the alumni associations are just ' a parcel of good old pals. They are | getting along splendidly. And have | been since last year, when the Uni- | versity of Chicago alumnus grabbed up | the slacked reins of the Tiger foot ball | team and headed it somewhere. There was little purring in the Tiger lair when Fritz took over the team. The Tiger growl was a weak whine. It's claws were brittle and it | was a meek and bewildered tabby | mildly trying to get out of the way | of heavy foot ball traffic. | Bill Roper had preached, exhorted | and beaten the drums in the dressing | rooms until the boys thought they were | getting lessons in oratory and being polished in Greek, Wittmer tried ig- | noring the team in defeat, futilely | making efforts to brace it by snub- | bing it. | The Big Cat from Tigertown had won but two games in two years. And both were from Amherst, a none-too-strong opponent. It had garnered but 3 games in 14 played, prior to Mr. Crislers addition to the Princeton athletic staf!. Gentlemen, weep with me when I tell you it was a very badly brow- beaten and unhappy feline. Its out- look for 1932 was no better than its Tecord of the two previous years. ‘Then came a hlp&y thought. A spe- cial committee appointed by the Prince- ton Board of Athletic Control went beating about the sports brush trying to snare a good coach. A Princeton coach. Its wanderings led it to the University of Minnesota, where Crisler had just resigned as foot ball tutor, but was retaining the task of directing the athletics of the institution. Fritz took the job with a three-year conract at figures said to be around It meant the end of the alumni coaching system. And none was more pleased than old Kid Alumnus. If he lost his grip on naming the grid tutors, and the Tiger obtained a good coach, he was for dropping his’ grip, In no time at all the alumni associa- tions were pulling for Fritz. They watched, him get results. And they cheered, and attended Princeton games. Th> Tiger was staging a ccmeback | under a new director. In his two years in the saddle at Tigertown, Fritz gradually has brought back the Tiger's lence. Not by Jerks, but by steady, staying methods. He took the middle course between Bill Roper's oratory and exhortation, and | ship may have been a factor in dulling | | By the Associated Press. | Red Sox, 4-0, allowing only two run-| Coach Who is Restoring Old Al Wittmer’s placidity. _And, gentle- men, apparently it was the right road to town. If Crisler wants the boys to hum some happy Nassau tunes across the, festive board tonight he can tell them that the Tiger of ’33 is going to snarl and claw his way to that niche up yonder among the foot ball great. which has been empty for a few years. Princeton’s old stand at the head of the pack, from which it was ousted by a combination of ill luck and circumstances. ‘The Tiger never lost his traditional fighting spirit. It smoldered at times, but it always was there. Faulty leader- the animal's claws. But the Tiger once more appears to be a saber-toothed Bengal. For the first time in years the boys at Old| Nassau again love to play.
