BY JOHN B. KELLER. HICAGO, June 24.—There was a lull today in the heavy firing by the Washington artillery on the Chicago front that for a time threatened to impede the progress of the pennant pursu- ing Nationals, but the big guns finally blasted away the White Box defense and Joe Cronin’s valiant fighting force crashed through to a 7-to-5 victory. By their rousing finish ,the first-place Nationals swept the four- game series with the Chisox, incr eased their latest winning string to five games and maintained their half-game advantage over those deadly rivals, the Yankees. The triumph was marred o nly by the snapping of Heinie Manush’s string of consecutive games with hits. The big Dutchman went up to the plate five times today and never was able to drive the ball through the infield. So his streak was finished at the 26- game point. -+ The Nationals got their win off{ & one-time teammate, Milton Gas- ton. They got 7 of their 10 hits off this veteran right-hander in the eight innings he toiled, but they greatly needed the runs they gleaned off the venerable spit-ball = hurler, Urban Farber, in the ninth. Three runs went over in that late splurge and with the White Sox coming to life to drive from the slab both ‘Walter Stewart, starting hurler, and Jack Russell, first relief, those runs saved the day for the Cronin crew. | Sullivan, + , Manager Cronin tempted fate when !

Lefty Gomez of the Yankees did so in New York and Earl Whitehill of the Nationals did so here last Wednesday. But Stewart pitched great ball for eight innings. Over that stretch the ‘White Sox got but four hits and four passes. Two of the hits were clustered in the second inning to give the home side a 2-run start, but there probably would have been no scoring then had not Cronin dropped a throw with an easy double-play at hand. Bluege’s Homer Vital. [OSE two White Sox scores were offset by the Nationals in the fifth, when they did their first hitting at Gaston's expense. Then with Joe Kuhel on first base and two out Ossie Bluege drove the ball into the upper left field stand for his fifth home run of the year. That blow took something from Gaston, for he was slapped solidly in each of his three remaining innings on the hill, with the Nationals adding to their run total in the seventh and eighth. Then Cronin's' men went well ahead when they took a fancy to Faber's spitter in the ninth, but Stewart broke down in the final round and for a time it looked as though the White Sox might grab the game out of the fire. As it was with Gaston, so it was a homer that started Stewart tottering. Al Simmons, with a mighty swing. sent the ball over the roof of the left fleld stand at the outset of the ninth round and Stewart had nothing there- after. A single, a long fly and a walk followed and in went Russell. On the hill for the third straight day as a reliever, Jack found the task too great for him this time. Two batters only faced him and both singled. That left the White Sox but two runs back and both of those on the runway. Rus- sell was promptly lifted and Cronin ordered McAfee to the glwhinl peak. And Bill needed to pitch to just two batters to wind up the argument. Simmons Early Factor. ‘CTMMONS started the first White| Sox scoring by opening round 2 with a single. Then Kuhel snared ‘Appling’s grounder and a double play was in the offing. But Cronin dropped Kuhel's throw and after Webb sacri- ficed, a long fly by Dykes and Grube's double sent over the tallies. Not until the fifth was a hit made off Gaston. Then Cronin rifled such a hot one to Appling the shortstop couldn't hold the ball, which meant a single for the batter. Schulte forced out Cronin and Kuhel gave Schulte the same treatment, but Bluege got his homer to square everything. Singles by Cronin and Kuhel with Schulte's sacrifice sandwiched between put the Nationals in the lead in the seventh and they increased their advan- tage in the eighth when, with Manush | on first base and two out, Goslin sin- | gled and Cronin doubled. | Kuhel drew a pass from Faber in the ninth and it was backed by three sin- gles for three runs.

HICAGO, June 24 —Al Simmons is the people’s choice as base ball's greatest player. In the final tabulation of the ballot to select the American and Na- tional League teams, which will meet in base ball's game of the century at Comiskey Park July 6, the Chicago White Sox left fielder led the list with 346,291 votes. The National League leader is Chuck Klein, Philadelphia’s batting star, who piled up 342,283 votes. The National League squad of 18 players already has been selected by President John A. Heydler and Manager John J. McGraw. The American League team will be announced offi- cially early next week and is expected to follow closely the fans’ choices. Position for position, the American League stars polled higher totals than the National Leaguers in 7 cases out of 11, the list including three pitchers for each league. T first base Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees received 312,680, while Bill Terry of the New York | Giants, National League choice for the position, got 278,545. Frankie Frisch, St. Louis Cardinal second baseman, out- scored his American League rival Charley Gehringer of Detroit, 276,802 to 239,756. | | Washington’s young manager and short- stop, received better than 100,000 votes more than Dick Bartell of Philadelphia, who topped the Natlonal Leaguers for the position. Cronin received 337,766 votes to 231,639 for the Philadelphia youngster. Bill Dickey of the Yankees, generally regarded as the best catcher in the game, ran far behind Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs, who polled a huge vote at home. Hartnett's total was 338,653, while Dickey received 297.382. In addition to Simmons and Klein, among the outfielders, the choices are Babe Ruth and Earl Averill of Cleve- land, in the American League, and Paul Waner of Pittsburgh and Frank O'Doul of New York, in the National. Ruth, base ball's most famous figure, received 320,518 votes, and Averill polled 246,913. Waner's total was 269,- 291, while “Mr. O'Doodle” scored 230,- 058. Robert Moses Grove of Connie Mack's Athletics led all the pitchers.

Heinie Chasing That 100th Bingle HARRIS GETS A RIGHT-HAND BAT—GOSLIN IGNORES CHARLEYHORSE. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. HICAGO, June 24.-—Heinie Manush was not grieving after today's game because his consecutive-game hit- ting string had been stopped, but dx’;‘ seem concerned over not having made his one-hundredth safety of the season while in his fine clouting mood. “After m;c une;hux'\::e&:.: hit, it'll just be a breeze for Tm euér to fi started right in Cleveland,” declared the bli fellow as though he hadn’t been n‘ along at bat in great style for seve: weeks. Dave Harris, pinch batter in chief of the Nationals, has picked up & new flail which he says will make him as efficient against right-hand hurlers as he is against the south- ws. “I got me this bat off Al Simmons today,” said the Sheriff as he passed the wood around for in- spection, “and Al told me they wasn't no right-handed pitcher could throw ‘em by him when he used it. And I reckon I can swing just as hard with it. Thase right-handers better look out now,” e ekt e ‘Manager Cronin now wants his pitchers to get their starts in turn. That's why he swjtched from Bill McAfee to Walter Stewart at almost the last minute before today’s tussle. “Stewart worked last down in St. Louis on Monday and he was due to g0 in. He had primed himself for game, too, by working out two days here although I wasn't aware of that until he told me this n. That made me feel I A% ring of double-héaders 1o upset our staff, I probably will hold the pitchers to a regular program.” Weaver's ailing arm is regaining strength rapidly, but the rangy right-hander may not do any pitch- ing while the Nationals are in Cleve- land for their next series. Cronin is inclined to stand pat on the staff from which he has had such good results since the club came West. “No reason now to using Weaver until his arm is thoroughly well,” the pilot pointed out. that 'I‘tm‘;n ';ngusmut‘;nve come along nicely ashington listens right. Ted Lyons of the White Sox is not winning many games, but his hitting average makes him the envy of all other hurlers in the league. Although Rnott of the Browns has the highest mark at bat of the moundsmen, Lyons really is the leader with his many more times at bat for his .333 average. “If I could hit that way I'd want to pitch every other way,” was whlmgu'l comment after looking over the . “You'll ?S::‘:rube overworked then,” spoke up Goslin. Goslin still is bothéred a I GOMEZ EFFECTIVE AS YANKS WIN, 84 Would Have Beaten Browns by Wider Margin but for Slips by Walker. m By the Associated Press. T. LOUIS, june 24.—The New York Yankees took the odd game in the five-game series from the Browns, 8 to 4, and remained in the thick of the first- place battle a half game behind Washington. Vernon Gomez did a workman-like job of pitching, giving only seven hits and striking out seven. His only trou- bles came in the fourth, when Fred Walker muffed Ted Gullic'’s fly, then let Oscar Melillo's hit bound past him for a homer and three runs as he at- tempted a shoestring catch. Yanke sewed up the game inthe third at Hank McDonald’s expense. They got five runs and as many hits in that inning after scoring twice in the second. Walker and Bill Dickey contributed home runs to the big rally before Ed Wells, former Yankee, came in to do some great relief pitching. 0.A 0 2 0 8 3 0 PRI IO DOt | coormomnan 5 orrmnwsson? 3 Sl corasmernwcd Totals 391127 4 *Batted for Wells in ninth inni .025000001—8 00030100 0—4 Sewell.

HICAGO, June 24.—Five straight wins back of them, the Na- tionals are moving on to Cleve- land with a chance to make it seven in a row as they tackle the Indians tomorrow in the big ball plant on Lake Erie’s shore. ‘They are to play five games in four days with the outfit now under the management of Walter Johnson, their former pilot, the Sunday double-header being scheduled to get rid of a post-, ponement that cropped up when the | Nationals were in Cleveland early in| May. < It will be the first matching of base ball wits by the former manager of the Washington crew and the youthful Cronin, who served for four years under the veteran now with the Tribe. ‘This Cleveland club is about the best the West now has to send against the Nationals.

TWIN VICTOR AT TENNIS Mary Cutter Wins Collegiate Hon- ors in Singles, Doubles. BROOKLINE, Mass., June 24 (#)— Mary Cutter of Winchester, a medical student at Jackson College, Who has been prominent in Eastern junior tennis for several years, today won the fifth women'’s intercollegiate title from Emily Lincoln of Brookline and Smith College, 62, 11—9, after a 90-minute battle at Longwood. These finalists then teamed for the doubles play and gained the titles by Conway, after Sharkey and his wife had started back over the road to Orangeburg, said that the first of the letters, which were mailed in New Jer- sey, arrived at the training camp last Monday. The other two were delivered on the following days. The threats were written in semi- literate fashion and were branded as the work of cranks by New York detec- tives who visited the camp. Conway, who returned from Orangeburg yester- day, said Buckley was warned by his police friends to be cautious. Acting on this advice, the Sharkey camp was closely guarded and the champion was always accompanied by armed com- pm}l‘um when he. was doing his road work. HE titlist, it was said, did not learn of the threats until this morning and they so unnerved him he insisted on hurrying home to gain first-hand knowledge of his family's safety. Mrs. Sharkey also left the camp on Thursday. Conway said the first letter was neatly printed in pencil and read: “Now that this fight of Sharkey more to him and you, all we want is five grand before this week is over. Other- wise we'll get scmething belonging to m before the fight and Sharkey is e. “If you keep quiet, say nothing only come across we will grant you every- thing will be O. K. and no need to fear any one belonging to Sharkey will be “Otherwise we carry out cur plans and Sharkey isn't feel like fighting. Also pay plenty besides. We are pretty fair giving your chance first. We are well prepared and every one belonging to Sharkey well covered so its up to you, B‘“:k’; $5,000 in 5-10 bills, so if want pace money, also will be watch from now till you pay as we know you and don’t make a foolish move.” ‘The second letter, Conway sald, was about the same as the first one, except it directed Buckley to place the de- manded $5,000 at “the Reservoir and Sedwick, by the rock pile under the rocks.” Conway agreed with Buckley that the author referred to Reservoir road and Sedwick street, a corner near the Sharkey home in Newton. The third letter was a duplicate of the second. Conway said that Sharkey had been recelving more than his usual quota of crank letters since he took up quar- ters at Gus Wilson's training camp. He also recalled that the boxer received threatening letters in Florida three years ago before his bout with Phil Scott. The author of the Florida let- ters, Conway said, claimed to be a member of the purple gang of Detroit and singled out Mrs. Sharkey as the victim if his demands were not met. OSTON and Newton police dis- claimed knowledge of the latest threats against Sharkey and the only official activity was the close guard on the boxer’s home, where his children are being cared for by their maternal grandparents. Conway, however, said that it was a routine matter for New- ton police to make close and frequent inspection of the Sharkey premises dur- ing his absence. He also added that Sharkey’s sudden home coming would not disrupt his training for next week’s title bout with Primo Carnera in Long Island City. Conway said that the titleholder reached the peak of condition several days ago and that he must cease all but the Htc‘l]flat Kind of work to avold going stale.
