EW YORK, June 10.—Jack Dempsey will lead the cheering for a bitter rival of his own fighting days 8 member in good standing in the|stars in the World's Fair game | when Jack Sharkey defends the eat their words. The young leader of the Na- tionals not only is handling his club well, but also is playing a| brilliant game at shortstop and isi one of the greatest offensive forces | of the major leagues. Spearhead of the Washington attack | the past three seasons, Cronin, despite the burden imposed by the managerial | Post once more is giving the Nationals | their most powerful scoring punch. Slow to get under way, Cronin has | come along with a rush as an offensive | power the past two weeks. Over this stretch he has picked up in his batting and with his improved clouting has been responsible for the <che g in of 19 Washington runs. 'HOSE are as many as he had batted across from the start of the cam- paign to the beginning of his streak. With the season about one-third gone, Cronin has sent across the plate 39 icounters and the best major marks for the current campaign are little above 40. It has taken such great long hit- | gers as Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics, %ou Gehrig of the Yankees and Chuch Klein of the Phillies to set those. The past three seasons Joe has been dn the 100 class in the business of shoving over scores. Last year he drove in 116 runs and tied with Heinie Ma nush for sixth place among the Ameri- ‘can League's best in this respect. Only three in the National League drove over more runs. Klein and Mel Ott and Bill Terry of the Giants did so and Terry tted in but 117. : b-'l‘l'\c fiery pilot of the Nationals is in eat batting stride now and he is at best these days when hitting means | scoring. Far from being hampered by his work as manager, Cronin is likely to excel his scoring punch records of other years in this campaign. As the Nationals_scored their 7-to-2 wictory over the Red Sox yesterday Cronin who first sent a runner to the counting block in each of the first two or three scoring bees staged by his club. And he came through with the hit each | time after two were out. . He came up in the opening inning with Manush on first base through a ss and_smote a two-bagger to tally | g:mm. ‘Then Fred Schulte doubled to| score the manager, and Joe Kuhel singled to get Fred home. Joe came up again in the fifth in- ning after Manush had doubled to smack a single that meant a run. Then Cronin stole second to be in position to score when Schulte hit for a base. Between these efforts Cronin had hit a single so he got a .600 batting aver- age for the game. 'HESE runs were made at the ex- pense of George Pipgras, the pitcher who only last Sunday Turled such a sterling 12 innings against the Nationals in Washington. dn all, the Nationals got seven safeties and one walk off George. ‘They got but three off the left- handed Bob Weiland the remainder of the way and one of those was a fluke, but it told in the making of two tallies in the eighth inning again two were) out when the way to scoring was blazed | is ready to make a shift in the man- agement. He believes his material is good enough to play ball that will bring back to Sportsman’s Park the St. Louis fans who have been conspicuous through their absence in the current campaign. It turns out that Killefer is not, as was announced last Fall, signed for three years and disposing of him would entail no difficulties. Ball regards Hornsby highly, it seems, and probably he couid easily arrange to get hold of the Rajah to handle his floundering outfit. Those who claimed to be in the know | say Killefer will be dropped and Horns- by installed within the next two weeks. OHNSON'S return to a big league berth is most pleasing to the Na- tionals, both those who worked with him when he was Washington's man- ger and those who have come to the club since his departure. “It's great to have Walter in the league again,” said Joe Cronin. “Never | a finer man was in base ball. He ought | to make a go of it with the Indians and | should be very popular with the Cleve- land fans. “I wish him all the luck in the world.” ONTE WEAVER is having his troubles these days. An upset stomach kept him idle in Phila- delphia the first part of the week and a | slight arm soreness bothered him when the club came up to Boston.

Two were on at the time. It's not often that Cronin and Bluege kick in with successive errors on ground balls, but that's what the left side of the Nationals’ infield did in the sixth. Bluege dug McManus's soft roller in the dust and right on top of this miss Cronin cuffed Seeds' ' skidder. These both did the Red Sox no good, however. Manush and Cronin startled the la- dies’ day fans with a pair of spectacular plays in the eighth. Heinie scrambled up the terrace back of left field to spear McManus’s liner and Cronin raced back of the middle sack to scoop up with one hand Seeds’ hot one and get his man.

C., June 10 (#.—A group of local base ball fans and public-spirited residents have made | broke even in six meets, but in the con- | the necessary arrangements for re- | to be played at Chicago on July |6. John J. McGraw was selected by the National League to guide the leading players of that | organization. Mack and McGraw have had longer managerial sgrvice in the big leagues than any other base ball man now liv- ing. They had some battles in the | American League, but their real rivalry | began in the first world series that | was played under the Brush rules, in | 1905. At that time McGraw was man- ager of the New York Giants, with | which club he was always most promi- | nently identified. He made his repu- | tation as a ball player with the Balti- ! more club. Later he joined the Ameri- can League for a brief interval, so that he is no stranger to Connie Mack | or to any of his base ball methods. | | Connie has been with the American | League for more than 30 years. MCGRAW and the Giants met Mack and the Athletics in 1905 under conditions that seemed to favor |the American League manager. ~The A’s came to New York from Philadel- phia proud of the skill they had shown in their own circuit and absolutely cer- tain that they were going to beat New York in the world series. They brought along a special trainload of Philadel- phians to see them play and to be in at the finish, expecting to depart from New York amid great hilarity. The Athletics had already lost the | first game at Philadelphia, 3 to 0, with Christy Mathewson pitching for the Giants, but felt particularly jubilant because they won the second game, at New York, by the same score. In the third game Mathewson again shut them out, pitching against Coakley, 9 to 0. That took about all the wind out of the Quakers’ sails, and when on the following day McGinnity shut them out in New York, Mack saw the beginning | of the end, especially when it was agreed to play the next contest in New | York. Mathewson won this game and with it the championship for New York. OME days lats he Giants were in- | vited to Philadelphia to help the | Athletics celebrate the winning of the American League pennant. They went there with great glee and were the | guests at a good old-fashioned base ball reception. It was at that gathering that John T. Brush, owner of the Giants, publicly shook Connie Mack by the hand, so the reconciliation between the rival leagues might have been said to_be complete. | New York again had it hot and heavy with Philadelphia in the world series of 1911 and was defeated, four games to two. In 1914 Philadelphia again defeated New York in the world series, four games to one. It would have been just as well if this series had not been played by New York, which was so crippled and weakened by the loss of players that it went into it with but half of its strength. ‘That ended the McGraw-Mack ri- valry, although McCraw always ex- | pressed a wish to have one more chance | to even up matters with the American | Leaguers. | . Now such an opportunity will be af- | forded him in this match game at Chi- | cago between the stars of the two| | leagues—but the American Leaguers | | will go into it, at the present outlook, slight fgvorites. | | ZAHARIAS IS SIGNED | TO WRESTLE LONDOS D.

EW YORK, June 10.—Come- backs featured the batting races in both major leagues during the past week as Al Simmons climbed back to the top of the American League and Pepper Martin regained the Na- tional League lead. Simmons fattended his average by 10 points in seven days, and Martin picked up 13 points in jumping from fifth place in the elder circuit to the top.

It is true the Cards had the slim- mest kind of a lead, three percentage points, but the 12-2 walloping they gave the Chicago Cubs yesterday was just another step in their brilliant climb up the ladder. They began to “click” in champion- ship style when they obtained Short- 16 of their last 19 games.

The_wave of home-run hitting which struck the American League a few days | ago continued unabated as two of the three games were decided by {aur-bo.se‘ blows. Luke Appling of the Chicago White | Sox crashed a homer in the fourteenth inning to gain a 10-9 victory over the| Detroit Tigers after the Pale Hose, aided | by Al Simmons’ sixth homer, had scored | 5 runs in the ninth to tie.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS. 12-2 Rout of Cubs, That PutsI | Them Ahead Again, Is 16th heavyweight championship here The old Manassa Mauler has nothing against Carnera, but he'd much prefer to see Sharkey win and thus open the way for Demp- | sey to capitalize to the fullest ex- | tent on the popularity Max Baer | achieved through his sensational J‘ knockout of Max Schmeling | Thursday night. With the Carnera match, Sharkey’s | contract with Madison Square Garden will expire and the Boston Sailor will | be free to do business with any pro- moter he likes. Dempsey is certain that he can convince Sharkey that a match with Baer, either in September or next year, will outdraw any other that could |be made. Sharkey is known to be | willing to listen, at least, to what Dempsey has to offer. Baer definitely |is aligned in the old champion’s camp. e’s my pal,” the big Californian says. “I'll fight for Jack any time, anywhere. He just has to say when.” " cm.useh , Carnera can throw a wrench into all these arrange- ments. Should the Italian sue- ceed in beating Sharkey in the Garden’s outdoor bowl in Long Island City, Baer would lose all chance of fighting for the | title at least for a year. Carnera is | under contract to the Garden for that | period and could not do business with | Dempsey unless Jjack and the Garden | formed ‘an alliance.. The possibility of that was regarded as remote. But Dempsey is doing no real wor- rying over the situation. He alreaay has booked Baer for a barnstorming tour, starting at Buffalo next Priday | night, and has under consideration a |return match with Schmeling. The German, complaining that the | heat had prevented him from fighting | anywhere near his best, offered to “bet | 50,000 or my share of the receipts that | Baer can’t do it again.” | ¢ WILL fight him anywhere,” Maxey said. “I will yet win back the | uedtmz." To that offer Dempsey re- | plied: “I certainly would like to do it all over again this Fall either here or in California, but I don't know how Baer feels about it. He considers Schmeling a dead bird now, and he is after live game.” Dempsey said he also was considering | his plans; Baer was busy escorting his | fiance, June Knight, musical comedy star, around town. They expect to get married Max said, when his divorce de- cree is made final. Baer's barnstorming tour, starting at Buffalo. will take him to Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Seattle, Portland, Oreg.; San Prancisco and Los Angeles. Demp- | sey will go along as referee. They will | return here in time to see the Sharkey- Carnera match. Mat Matches By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA—Ray Steele (215), Glendale, Calif., threw Ernie Dusek (215), Omaha, 52:06.
