They got 15 hits in the ! fore he had hurled three rounds, then battering Sarge Connally.

The Nationals actually won both games in the first inning. Goslin’s sin- gle and Cronin’s double after two were out produced the tally that was enough to trim the home side in the initial ar- gument. Singles by Manush, Schulte, Kuhel and Bluege with Cronin’s walk mixed in were good for three scores in the startihg frame of the second scrap. | Bers But the Natiommis kept the lead with | ease in both games. An error by| Knickerbocker, followed by hits by | ‘Whitehill and Myer, accounted for a second-inning Tun in the mix-up, and in | Si “the fifth inning the Cronin crew chased | Ferrell by clustering four hits and two | Fos passes with a wild throw by the Tribe left fielder for five scores. It was Ku- Lel's drive under Morgan when the | & bases were crowded with two out that started this scoring bee. Manush's walk and doubles by Goslin and Cronin got two runs off Craghead in the sixth. In the second clash, the Nationals waited until the third round to add to their first-inning advantage. ~Then singles by Goslin, Cronin, Kuhel and Bluege, with Schulte’s sacrifice thrown in, meant two scores. With three hits they got two more markers off Connally in the seventh and wound up their tallying in the eighth when three runs crossed, the last two sent in by Man- ush's triple. URKE had a stormy first inning in | his game, what with hitting al batter, getting hit by one and| issuing a pass to fill the bases with one out. But a forceout at the plate fol- lowed and the danger was gone when Kamm hoisted out. The Tribe got its one run of the day in the fourth inning of the second game. Kamm started it with his fuzzy triple and crossed when Myatt singled. The next two went out, then Galatzer t the fifth hit of the fray off Burke. g:n, it was wasted when Cissell lofted out, and the Indians reached Bobby for only three safeties the remainder of the way.

Both of the clubs won five and dropped but two during the week ended, with games of Saturday, to pace the field. Slumping badly, Charlotte won but two of seven contests and faded from the | pennant picture. Showing new life, Wilmington's Pi- rates won five of its eight games. A comeback the latter half of the week énabled Winston-Salem to win three of seven, while Durham had the worst time of all, dropping six and winning but two. | Wilmington, which with Durham played one more game than the other clubs, won run-making and hitting hon- | ors. The Bucs scored 52 runs and gar- nered 85 hits to lead the Patriots by | four in both columns. | Strangely enough, although Charlotte won but two games, its pitchers allowed 8pponents the fewest runs, 23, or an average of just over three a game.

LEVELAND, June 26—"Are you happy?” Joe Cronin was asking every ope he came across after the Nationals had tucked away the two games. “I am.” he'd shout before the party addressed had a chance to reply. And he is, “Gee, it's great to be up there,” said Joe, then he added con- fidently, “I'm sure we’ll be up there at the finish, too. Ours is a much better ball club than many gaye it credit for being at the start of the season.

Now I have trimméd every one of Wash- ington’s rivals in the league in my several seasons up in the big show. But I certainly had to wait a long time to_complete the round.” “Hcw™ about that hit, Bobby? Didn't you get a great kick out of that?” Burke was asked. He had singled in the eighth inning of the second game to drive in a run. “Fine, fine,” he answered, “but it was winning that game out there on ghe hill that tickled me osty “Watch me go now,” Manush yelled exultantly to the Cleveland players as he sped to first base after cracking a single to center in the opening inning of the second game. “That's number 100 this season, 50 look out for me after this.” And Heinie proved he was not boasting when later he singled, then wound up the day by ramming a triple far down right field.

The National League situation this year was made to order for a peppery club like the Giants or the Cardinals. Both went into reverse last season, without much warning, but they were not as bad as their records indicated when they wound up 1932 in a tie for sixth place. Both have come to life again after a shake-up, and now, a year too late to suit the experts, they are the twin- favorites in the betting, thanks also to the collapse of the Phillies and the slump of the Pirates. ‘Yankees Crack. | ROADWAY as well as Main street has been no less astounded by the feats of the Giants than the fact that midseason finds the reigning world champions, the Yankees, scrambling tc stay around the top of the Amrrican League standing. By this time last year the Yankees were nine or ten games in front and making it a run- away. For a time this Spring it appeared they would repeat the process, but the inevitable crack- ing-up has developed and forced Manager Joe McCarthy to make some changes Fortunately for McCarthy he has had replacements for just such an emer- gency, so far as infield and outfield probiems are concerned. Players like Lyn Lary and Fred Walker would have been regulars from the outset on any other club. Will It Last? HE Yankees have won pennants in the past mainly on power and they can do so again, whether or not the pitchers pull themselves to- gether. Meanwhile the rest of the league can pluck up courage and make it close by carrying the fight to the champions, instead of trying, like a punch-drunk fighter, merely to go the route, Most of the American League strategists made the mistake of conceding the flag to the Yankees in advance and finding some of their worst fears justified at the start. Consequently they were unprepared on short notice to take complete advan- tage of the first big slump of the | champions, feeling perhaps that it was |too good to be true and probably | couldn’t last. Maybe it won't. HALL TAKES AUTO RACE DETROIT, Mich., June 26 (#).—Ira | Hall of Terre Haute, Ind. won the feature event of a Veterans of Foreign By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. :LEVELAND, June 26.—Joe Cronin’s faith in a pitcher generally accounted of little worth by many asso- ciated with the big leagues and |is ready to make good as a major lightly regarded by Washington fandom particularly might well mean a pennant for the Nationals this year. Bobby Burke, stringbean southpaw slated for shipment down river when his club was in training at Biloxi this year, but retained at Cronin's insistence, yesterday fully jus- tified his young manager’s confi- dence in him by boosting the lead- ing Nationals’ ad- vantage over the rest of the Ameri- can League field to one and a half games in his first start of the season. Sent to the pitching peak be- cause Al Crowder, pitcher originally picked for duty, had developed a kink in his shoul- der muscles dur- ing the train ride from Chicago here the night before, Burke followed a slick bit of slabbing by his fellow-lefthander, Earl White- hill, that had netted his club a victory with a remarkably polished perform- ance for a sweep of the twin bill open- ing the Nationals’ five-game series with the Indians. Bobby Burke. OT only was Burke's success all- important so far as its immediate benefit to his club was concerned, but it also restored the balance of the Nationals’ staff of regular starting pitchers made somewhat tottery by the prolonged foss of Monte® Weaver due to a persistent arm ailment. Stepping into the double-header as he did, Bob gave Crowder the day’s rest needed to round edgy shoulder muscles into proper shape—the General was ex- pected to be in trim for service this afternoon—and thereby enabled the starting slabmen to resume the rota- tion recently established for them by Manager Cronin. ‘With nine games to play to round but this trip and with as many days in which to play them, the Washington club now finds itself nicely situated in a pitching way. There seems no rea- son why the starting four, including | Crowder, Thomas, Stewart and White- | hill, should not run out the string neatly and get the Nationals back to the Capital next week at the peak of the pack. Burke having won his spurs as a| starter, it now appears the Nationals actually have a staff of seven qualified | to begin ball games. Jack Russell was | so impressive against the Red Sox in his only start of the campaign that Cronin looks upon him as a likely hill choice at any time. Bill McAfee, too, appears capable enough to take a start- ing turn occasionally when not too worn by toil as a reliever of faltering flingers. In every way the Nationals loom stronger on the slab than those of their rivals who have been well up in the pennant chase from the outset of the season. Of the three who have had but one starting turn each, Burke looks by far the best. Against the Indians yester- day his performance was satisfactory in every way.

BY HVUGH S. FULLERTON, JR, Associated Press Sports Writer. HE two second-place clubs in the major leagues are learning by painful experi- ence that if they give the New York Giants or Washington Senators an inch in the pennant races they'll take a mile. The Giants, after picking up a half game Saturday, stepped out yesterday while the St. Louis Cards were having a day off and added another full game to their margin by taking two decisions from the Cincinnati Reds. The Senators, also winning twice, pulled out a game and a half in front of the New York Yankees, who got only an even break with Detroit. Bill Terry’s highly efficient in staff played its usual \mponnntpp”:;'hl " downing the Reds, 7-1 and 6-3, but im- proved hitting went along with it. ‘Washington took two games from the Cleveland Indians, 9-0 and 10-1, in its usual slugging style.
