LOUIS SET Just Half Game From Lead After 22 Hits Win Last Brown Tilt, 10-4. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ILWAUKEE, June 20— “We’ll hit our way through the West,” confidently de- clared Manager Joe Cronin as the Nats left Washing- ton last week. In taking three of four games in St. Louis in the opening series of their invasion of | the inland sector to get within half a game of the American League lead, the Nats certainly| made their young pilot sound; right. In the four encounters with the/ Browns in Sportsman’s Park cney{ batted for a cool .377, which just about ! sets an offensive record for any Capital | club in a series of such proportions in | recent years. In St. Louis, the Nats not only fully lived up to their reputation for clout- ing for two bases and three bases with their 10 doubles and three triples, but they also surprised with their home run ; hitting ability in driving out seven-| round trippers among their 60 safeties in the quartet of quarrels with the| Killefermen. Hitting anywhere near the pace they did against the Browns, Griffith’s hire- lings out to make much headway in the four-game set with the White Sox due to get under way tomorrow in Chicago. And that is something for the front-running Yankees as well as the fourth-place Chisox to worry about. NOT only did the Nationals hit ter- rifically in the St. Louis series, but | they aiso had plenty of good pitch- ing. The Browns in the four games collected only 11 runs. Even in the second game of Sunday's double-bill that went against the Washington club its hurling was of high order. The Browns needed a break in the Na- tionals’ defense to cop. For the four engagements with the ‘White Sox, Manager Cronin has in readiness five hurlers who appear to be at top form. Earl Whitehill and Al Crowder are slated to see service in Louis Comiskey’s big plant on the South Side. So are Al Thomas, the only losing pitcher in the St. Louis series, and Jack Russell, according to the manager. Russell may get the cali for the opener of the set tomorrow. And also in line for duty will be Walter Stewart. Against his old club/ yesterday, the southpaw breezed along| as his teammates walloped 22 hits—a nine-inning record for them this sea- | son—in and out of Sportsman’s Park to win 10 to 4. He gave up 10 hits, but they were spread over seven sessions and outside of the seventh, when the Browns clt four to get a brace of tallies, that meant little considering the Nationals’ substantial lead. Stewart gave a great flinging exhibition. 'HE Nationals gleaned their hits off \ four of Killefer's moundsmen. They gave the left-handed Wal- lace Hebert the beating before the first inning ended, then pounded Gray, Coffman and Stiles, right handers all. All of the Washington line-up excepting Stewart figured in the attack, with Manush and Cronin heading it with| five hits each. One of Cronin’s blows was @ home | run and Kuhel, Schulte and Harris | pounded for the circuit. Only one| homer went the Browns’ way, Csmg; bell in the fourth inning getting his| second of the series to drive over the first pair of runs for the Killefermen. INGLES by Myer and Manush, a| two-bagger by Cronin and a one-| baser by Schuite, all off Hebert, gave the Nats a three-run start and| from then on the Browns were never | in the ball game. Through the next| four rounds the Washington club in-| creased its run total while all the Browns did after Campbell's homer had given them two runs in the fourth was bunch four blows in the seventh for two more tallies. Successive singles by Myer, Manush and Crorin put over a score in the second and Kuhel hit his homer in the third. Manush’s triple, Cronin’s long fly and Schulte’s circuit clout were good for two fourth-frame markers and after Manush singled in the fifth Cronin and Harris smote successive homers to wind- | up the Washington plate-denting for | the day. Griffs’ Records k2 Manash Gets 20 Hits TRADEDIETOCOST | in Last 27 Times Up By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ILWAUKEE, June 20.—Heinle Manush, the big Dutchman, has gone Berserk at bat. With fire in his eye and great power in his arms he is flattening pitchers, right and left, almost as rapidly as they dare face him. With his mighty macing the Nation- als’ rampaging batsmen was the sen- sation of the four-game series with the Browns that ended yesterday in St. Louis. He collected 13 hits in 20 times at bat, winding up the massacre of the Killefer hill corps with five hits inj | six times up. Going back to a week ago Sunday in Washington when the Nationals over- threw the Athletics, one finds really the state of Manush's sensational streak. In his last two times at bat in that engagement, Heinie drove the ball to safety. Including those hits, the big Dutchman has a record of 20 hits for his last 27 times at bat. That's smacking the leather for the wonderful record of .741. And when he singled it the first in- ning of yesterday's clash Manush boosted to 23 the number of consecutive games in which he has batted safely. And the farther he goes, the greater the | ease with which he makes his hits. It | must be the heat out this way. ESS than 1,000 turned out for yes- terday's pastiming in St. Louis. And from the entire series of four games with the Browns, the Nationals collected little more than enough to get theme here today for an exhibition game vzx'.thhe Brewers of the American Asso- ciation. With runners on second and thi!dl bases and none out in the seventh, the Browns were stopped cold. Harris got Pinch-batter Crouch’s hoist and with a fine throw home made Melillo scuttle back to third. Oscar did not dare leave the base as Bluege chucked out Levy. ‘Then Schulte went almost into the next county to grab West's fly. ‘That series in St. Louis was rough on the Browns’ pinch-hitters. Killefer sent up Grams, Reynolds, Scharein and Crouch in emergencies and none camé through. Only a flashy fling by Stewart got Campbell in the home side’s first yes- terday after the pitcher had picked up leCG'l topped one along the third base ine. Kuhel’s homer at the outset of the third was a hefty clout that settled in the pavilion back of right-center. It was Joe's fifth round-tripper of the | campaign. Schulte doesn’t hit many homers, but those he hits are really hit. His third of the year made in the fourth frame was a Sweet smack that landed the| leather high up in the sun parlor back | of left-center. Cronin and Harris hit successive homers in the fifth, both lofts into the pavilion bordering right field. It was! the year's second for each hitter. UT for a sparkling play by Melillo the Nationals might still be in the fifth inning. The second baseman rushed back to the grass for a slick| scoop of Kuhel's hot one, then while whirling on one foot heaved for an eyelish out. After hitting his homer, Campbell was helpless before Stewart. The Na- tionals’ left-hander struck him out in the sixth inning and again in the eighth.

PARK VIEW NINE WINS. Park View School's fifth and sixth ade ball team yesterday walloped the urtis-Hyde fifth and sixth grade: opinion of the Cleveland boy. “He's one of the greatest sprinters I ever saw and it is no certainty Metcalfe can beat him.” Owen is a smooth, floating runner much on the order of Bill Carr, the Pennsylvania University fiyer, who starred in the Olympic games. The boy has a faster start than Metcalfe and runs with a long, smooth stride. Metcalfe may have sufficient strength to beat Owen over the last 25 yards but_that must be proved. Owen not only is one of the world’s greatest sprinters, but also a topper in the broad jump. He cleared 24 feet 953 inches in the interscholastic meet, while the best Brooks of Chicago University could do in winning the collegiate jump was 24 feet 43; inches.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, June 20.—Firmly planted in the cellar, the Phillies still have been able to boast that they lead the National League in team batting. Now they are likely to lose this advantage as a result of trading the Boston Braves. Both Whitney and Lee are consistent hitters in the .300 class. Before the pennant season began the Phils were considered to have a decent chance to finish fourth in the race. They had several heavy hitters, led by Chuck Klein. They had acquired Ful- lis from the New York Giants by trade and their outfield, with Klein, Lee and Fullis, looked as if it would hold its own with any in the league. The Philly outfield did give a good account of itself, but the batting power of the infield was not quite up to standard. The real weakness of the team, however, has been in its pitching corps. When a Phil pitcher is able to go nine innings without relief, that's news. Some base ball men assert that Whit- ney is as good a third baseman as Ple ‘Traynor of the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is all a matter of opinion, but shrewd judges of base ball ivory do not believe that Whitney is as good a flelder as Traynor. He lacks the all-around ag- gressiveness and agility which Pie pos- sesses. In addtiion, he hasn't got the reach that Traynor has in going after | the fast ones, and over an entire sea- son the Pirate third baseman is likely to outbat him. | ATIONAL LEAGUERS here believe | that if the season is a financially | poor one at Philadelphia, as seems | to be the case to date, the Phils will sell | Klein to the Chicago Cubs for a fancy price at the close of the campaign. The story runs that the Cubs made several offers in an effort to get Klein before the June 15 deadline on trades, but the Phils’ owners did not want to incur the | displeasure of the fans at this time by | giving up their favorite slugger. | ‘The Cubs were sald to be willing to | hand the Phils $100,000 for Klein, along with a pitcher and an outflelder. 1If the | Chicago team fails to win the champion- | ship this year the chances are that it will make renewed efforts to get Klein | for the 1934 season. | Major Leaders By the Assoclated Press.

Despite a very soft and badly pitted track three world rec- ords were broken and two tied. The one in doubt is Ralph Metcalfe's 20.4 in the 220, as there was a slight breeze behind the Marquette mon- socn as he crossed the finish line. However, there can be little dis- pute as to the authenticity of Horn- bostel's 1:50.9 in the 880-vard run or Hardin's 47.1 in the 440. Thcre was scarcely a breath of wind when those events were run and the con- testants headed into the mild breeze on the backstretch. Hardin’s 22.9 in the low hurdles also was made with- out any apparent wind benefitting the runners. Metcalfe has a fine chance to have his 09.4 in the 100- yard dash recognized, and so has Owen, the Cleveland h* school runnes, | cific Coast League last year, will replace Hub Walker, recalled by Detroit. Had his competition been stronger, Glenn Cunningham of Kansas might have broken the world record for the mile. He ran a rather slug- gish first half, but put on power during the final laps and was clocked in 4:9.8, which is the fastest mile run in the United States and the second fastest in history. Cunning- ham finished 50 yards ahead of Hut- ton, otherwise he might have broken the existing record, which is three- fifths of a second faster. Charlie Hornbostel of Indiana closed his collegiate career without having lost a half-mile run. Sixth in the mile, the Hoosler came back to beat Cunningham in the 880 with a great finish. The 880-yard run should be one of the outstanding events in the A. A.

ITH a few conspicuous exceptions, major league base ball has been mak- ing a comeback at the turnstiles so far this season, but the opinion of Cleveland’s veteran his proposal thus in the Cleveland News: “D':u away with the present regulation nine - inning Substitute for this a mn‘t:: attraction each day, a double- header every day of the playing season. Do not increase the pres- ent prices of admission. Let them remain as they are. “Instead of the regular nine-inning game, two six-inning games could be played each afternoon. Instead of the championship season schedule calling for 154 games this could be increased to 308 games. “This plan holds forth many fine| features. First of all there would be far keener interest in a schedule of 308 games on the part of the public and players. The season would scarcely be considered over and done with and the champoinship decided by May 15 or June 1, as has been the case on oc- casions in the past. “Times without number ball games are decided in the first or second inning. When the Yankees or some other team scores five or siz runs in the early innings of the game the fans lose interest in the proceedings. “It would not be working a hardship on the players to ask them to partici- pate in 12 innings each day. They are not overtaxed physically and a_half hour to 45 minutes extra work should not result in any falling off in their general play.” Nothing New to Cards. T sounds like a radical proposal and no doubt most major league club owners would shrink from it, at first thought. Yet the idea already has been devoloped, o some extent, by the steps taken®to increase the num- ber of “bargain” double-headers. St. Louis clubs have been permitted to combine regularly scheduled Monday games in Sunday double bills, as an added attraction, as well as an acknow- ledgement of the fact that fans want all they can get for their money now- adays. It would take considerable argument to convince the old- timers, especially, that siz innings constituted a real ball game. They could point out that most of the crises are reached in the seventh, eighth or ninth innings and the rec- ords probably would bear them out. Those are the innings when a pitcher is most likely to crack. Would Pep Up Game. HIS season has produced many I examples of extrao) come- backs in games apparently lost beyond control. The Yankees pulled out one game, with a 12-run rally, while trailing the White Sox, 11 to 3, in the eighth. The champions yielded 11 runs to the Athletics in another, but came back with 10 in one frame themselves and won the battle, 17 to 11. The Pirates beat the Cardinals recently by tallying 10 markers in the ninth. But on the average two abbreviated, or six-inning games, certainly would furnish more excitement and add more life to the sport than the ordinary nine- inning affair. e TRACK TEAM NAMED NEW YORK, June 20 (#).—The 21 winners of individual titles in the Metropolitan A.

Somerville Shoots Again. 0SS SOMERVILLE, amateur golf champion of the United States, Canada’s greatest all-around athlete, has moved into action again. Somerville swings out after the amateur golf champoinship of Great Britain in an effort to pack away another crown. Walter J. Travis was the first golfer to win both the United States and British amateur titles. Harold Hilton was the second, win- ning the United States title at Apawa- mis in 1911. Jess Sweetser was the third, with victories at Brookline and Muirfield. Bobby Jones was the fourth, after the most hectic week of his golf career, when Cyril Tolley, Jimmy Johnston and George Voigt all carried him to the final green, or on beyond. Somerville, a fine golfer and a great competitor, faces the ordeal of 18-hole matches—an ordeal that was too great for Bobby Jones in his first two starts— too much for Jerry Travers—for Chick Evans and Francis Ouimet, who never were able to survive the sudden-death matches of the shorter route, where luck often plays a leading role. IOMERVILLE will be the best golfer in the field at Hoylake, where John Ball and Harold Hilton reigned so long. But that doesn't always count for Homer Standing By the Associated Press.

Yet_there is much more excitement in a British amateur than there is in the United States competition. The ac- tion comes in a hurry, just as it does on the first day of match play over here where a field of 32 alifying survivors is reduced to only eight. Even as fine a golfer as George Von Elm could not survive this first day at two 18-hole contests for the last three years he tried. But Somerville’s attempt will be ane of the most interesting spots of the week. The Canadian not only has the shots, but he is a cool, determined fighter, who isn’t easily upset. Just how he will operate on a seaside , | links with a keen breeze blowing is an- other guess. That usually demands more British experience than Somerville has known in big competitions.

SCHUMACHER GAINS HIS FIFTH SHUTOUT Beats Cubs, 3-0, for 7th Win In 11 Games—Cards Lose to Brookiyn. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Assoctated Press Sports Writer. ASE ball experts called him a “second Christy Mathew« son” a couple of years ago, but Hal Schumacher, 21~ year-old right-hander of the New York Giants is just beginning to justify what appeared then to be an extravagant comparison. Lack of control handicapped the youngster last season, much to the embarrassment of those who had likened him to the immortal “Matty,” but Schumacher has hit his stride now and is contributing more than his share to the pitch- ing strength that is keeping the Giants on top the National League standing. Hal pitched his fifth shutout yester- day, limiting the Chicago Cubs to three hits to win 3-0. He gave four passes and his teammates made four errors behind him, but he was deadly effective in the pinches. Lefty O'Doul paced & seven-hit Giant attack on Charley Root that produced one run in the first’ and two in the eighth. It was the Giants’ second successive shutout triumph over the Cubs and Schumacher’s seventh victory against four defeats. EANWHILE the St. Louis Cardinals lost ground in their fight to over- haul the Giants, dropping a 6-5 decision to the Brooklyn Dodgers in the ninth when Johnny Frederick singled Jimmy Jordan home from sec- ond with the winning run. The defeat left the Cards a game and a half out of the lead and cut their advantage over the idle Pittsburgh Pirates to two games. Chuck Klein hit his twelfth homer as the Phillies ended a five-game losing streak and downed the Cincinnati Reds, 8-7. After appearing in 23 games with- out victory or defeat, Ad Liska was credited with the triumph. The New York Yankees’ lead in the American League was cut to & half game as the world champions bowed to the Chicago White Sox, 4-3, while fell on Vernon Gomez for five hits and all their runs in the fourth inning, and to prof . ‘ashington as- saulted four Brown pitchers for 22 hits, including four home rums, for thelr easy triumph. Detroit thumped Lefty Grove for nine hits and six runs in six innings, beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 9-4, and" gained a tie with the A’s for fifth place.
