N League championship chase will be settled, for the time being, anyway, in this town to- morrow. Fresh from the West, where a sensational spurt sent them to the head of the race, the Nationals will defend their scant league lead in an Independence day twin bill with the crowd they ousted from the top and their most formidable rivals in the pennant pursuit, the Yankees. Only "half a game up on the New ‘Yorkers, the Washington outfit must get an even break at least in the double duel if it is to return to the Capital to- morrow night in first place.

EW YORK, July 3.—Who's who in the American most successful swing around the West- | ern sector in years, a swing in which it won 13 of 16 games and took each of the four serics played. This spurt has left the Nationals filled with self-con- fidence and flag fancies and not a man among them has an idea their league lead will be wrested from them in the July 4 tussling. ‘Weaver Lone Casualty. XCEPTING Monte Weaver, who E still is nursing an ailing pitching arm that has kept him out of league competition since June 2, every one of the Nationals is ready to go into the big battle here if needed. Man- ager Joe Cronin no longer is bothered by an ankle he wrenched in Chicago week before last, Goose Goslin is able to step about the outfield and on the runway briskly despite a persistent charleyhorse, Buddy Myer's knee that was twisted in a slide at Cleveland re- cently is in good order again, and Alvin Crowder can pitch, even though his arm is not in the best of shape. Even were these ailmenis particularly annoying, you couldn’t keep this group of players out of the scrap. They are championship-conscious and champions don’t permit such ills to put them down | ‘when there is scrapping to be done with | their arch rivals. | Uses Two Southpaws. OR these all-important engage- ments tomerrow, Manager Cronin plans to send to the pitching peak | his two star southpaws, Earl White- hill and Walter Stewart. Whitehill, second ranking hurler of the Washing- | ton corps, is to pitch the first game, | according to the pilot. Al Crowder, | the league's leading slabman, will be ready to relieve in either or both tilts. It will be Stewart’s fourth appear- | ance against the Yankees. He pitched | a sterling game to beat them cn their own lot on April 28. Then he went 10 innings and allowed but six hits and three runs. Before that, in Washing- | ton, he had started, only to be driven | out’ in the third inning. Then the | Yanks got to him for five hits, two| passes and a half dozen scores, but the Nationals finally won the game. He tackled the Yanks again in Grif- | fith Stadium on May 31, when he went | to the relief of Crowder. This time ‘Walter pitched to just four batters. One tripled and two walked. He has | been in fine fettle since, however, hav- g hurled four wins in succession. ‘Whitehill has started twice against the Yankees in the current campaign to get an even breah. He beat them in Washington on April 23, allowing them eight hits and four runs. That | beating was the first of the season for the New Yorkers, and came after they had reeled off seven successive victories. Earl was defeated by the Yanks when | he faced them again in Washington on | May 30. In that struggle, much of which went cn through a heavy rain- | fall, it was a questionable home run among the eight hits gleaned off White- | hill that really turned the tide against the Nationals.

KELLER. hit our way through the West.” That was Joe Cronin's pre- diction when the Nationals left ‘Washington nearly three weeks ago for their second tour of the inland sector of the circuit this season. “What's more, I believe we’ll overhaul the ‘Yankees before the trip is very old,” the boy manager added. And he was right both ways. The Nationals larruped the leather for a cool .344 to bag 13 of 16 battles in the West, and on June 23, the seventh day of their swing, they passed the New Yorkers to take the lead. Not 1n years, if ever before, had a Washington ball club maintained such a remarkable hitting gait throughout a western tour as did the Nationals in the 16-game swing just completed. They started the heavy offensive with a 15- hit game and two days later collected 22 safeties off the St. Louis pitchers for their best batting day of the tour. In the four games with the Browns in St. Louis, the Nationals batted at a 377 clip. That got them three wins, and even in the game they lost they piled up a lot of wallops. Sweeping the four-game set with the White Sox in Chicago, the capital club hit for .364. It moved into Cleveland for five tussles with the Indians and batted .323 to win four. In Detroit, where the Nationals took two of three games played with the Tigers, they swung for an average of .303. The Washington club in the swing averaged better than 13 hits and more than 8 runs per game. In no uncer- tain manner they hit their way through the West. Pilot a Real Leader. RONIN himself set the pace for his club in the wild dash through the inland sector.

Joe Kuhel, in 16 games, slammed for .388. He hit in every game to raise to 17 the total of consecutive tilts in which he has batted safely.

Earl Whitehill made four starts and won three times. The game from which he was withdrawn was lost to the Tigers by Bobby Burke. But Burke made a surprising start against the In- dians and pitched a complete game for victory. Thomas started four times for two wins and one loss. He was taken out of a game in Cleveland, but Bill McAfee was charged with the loss to the In- dians. Walter Stewart made only three starts and won each time.

A’s Star Hits 4 Homers ih Double-Header. BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON, JR., Assoclated Press Sports Writer. WO already famous stars, Carl Hubbell, slender south- paw flinger of the New York Giants, and Jimmie Foxx, big clouter of the Philadel- phia Athletics, had forced their way into the base ball headlines today. Hubbell turned in the season’s most remarkable pitching feat as he twirled 18 arduous innings, the longest game of the campaign, and blanked the St. Louis Car- dinals, 1 to 0, in the first half of a double-header that brought the Giants a clean sweep and a 5%« game lead over the Cards. Foxx clouted two home runs in each game of a twin bill against the BSt. Louis Browns, bringing his total up to |24, but, despite this record-equaling | feat, the A's got only an even break, winning the first 6-5 in ten innings and | taking an 11-6 trimming in the second game. The four homers equaled the major league record for a double-header, xlx;;doe by Earl Averill of Cleveland in Score Double Shutout. UBBELL'S performance over- shadowed the work of his team- mate, Bud Parmelee, who blanked the Cards with 4 hits and fanned 13 in the second game, winning a second 1-0 decision when Johnny Vergez clouted a homer off Dizzy Dean in the fourth. Hubbell gave only 6 hits and no walks in the marathon opener. Tex Carleton put up great opposition for 16 frames, but finally went out for a pinch hitter and Jess Haines gave up the winning run on 2 walks, a sacri- fice, a forceout and Hughie Critz’s single. ‘The game equaled the major league record for the longest 1-0 contest and | the 17 scoreless innings were only 3 | short of another record. Fine pitching feats marked most of the other National League games, as the Brooklyn Dodgers took two games | from the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Braves broke even with the Cincinnati Dodgers Get 17 Hits. HE Dodgers slugged their way to the first victory, winning 7-3, | with 16 hits, but Walter Beck's | six-hit pitching was an important fac- tor in their 4-3 second game triumpn, decided when Al Lopez stole home in the ninth.

Big Crowd Expected. ITH good weather tomorrow’s double-header likely will draw more than 60,000 frenzied fans to Col. Jake Ruppert's big base ball | plant in the Bronx. The many turn- stiles at Yankee Stadium will be clicked by customers eager to see two high- class ball clubs battling for the league lead and hopeful of witnessing mix-ups involving the players of the two out- fits, between which a bitter feud has existed for several years. The fans remember the battle of Grifith Stadium fought on April 25, when a scrap between Myer and Chap- man started a general tussle that raged - for 20 minutes before the Washington constabulary could restore order. Myer, Chapman and Whitehill were fined and suspended by President Will Harridge of the American League for their par- + ticipation in the fisticuffs. The clubs met in New York a few days thereafter with the principals of the big battle out of action and there was no friction on the field. But the 411 feeling still existed and even now relations between the clubs are not so leasant. Throughout the West the ationals heard of boastful threats by the Yankees to damage them plenty in the July 4 tussles. There may be no flinging of fists tomorrow, but the twin bill will be no tea party. e TRIBE LETS MORGAN OUT Bends Him to New Orleans—How- ard Shipped to Toledo.

I would have egged on that trade, for I thought if I went to St. Louis I would be a member of the next champions of the National League. They haven't quite got there yet, but I think they will.” “If we cculd beat every club in the league as easily as we beat New York, they would want to call the race off by the Fourth of July,” put in Prank Frisch. “Funniest thing I ever saw, the way we can scoot ahead of the Giants, no mat- ter what the conditicns may be, if it takes the ninth inning to do it.

This meant that Car- nera could afford to do more gambling, which he prcmptly did. —Sharkey called on all he had for one smashing shot in the sixth, but when that failed he was through. Baer and Carnera. N a financial way at least Car- I nera is lucky to have an op- ponent with the drawing power of Max Baer—especially in a Carnera show. Sharkey had barely fallen be- fore the chatter started about Baer and the new champion— what would happen when they met. It will be risking something to put off this fight until next Summer, be- cause several things can happen in the course of a year. If anything happened to Baer, Carnera would be le!:olal‘qlll-né who could draw out important money. There is no one but Baer who could make a Carnera match worth putting on. The impetus of these last two fights will carry on through Sep- tember. It might not be so hot a year away. nl.;thebl:nnunlb:l the ring, good for an amount be- tween $700,000 and $1,000,000, and naturals should be pressed, not put y for a year.

These two teams should put up a great scrap over the last half of the route with little to spare. Giants and Cardinals start the second half with at least some- thing on Pit¢sburgh and Chicago, but any one oi these four teams can win. The Cubs were well behind the Pirates at this time last Summer, but they won with something to spare. ‘There are still those who don't be- leve the Glants can hold up much longer. But they have too much good | | pitching to do any cracking over an ex- tended period and Bill Terry isn’'t wor- | ried about any impending slump. He | | happens to have a much better ball team than any one thought he had. Gabby Street is expecting a Car- dinal spurt that will tell the story. He also has pitching that will be a leading factor on the way through July and August to the September stretch. ‘There is no wide margin of strength | among the first four teams, any one of which can win. But Giants and Car- dinals have the leading chance, and the Cardinals will be dangerous all the way. They have the punch as well as the pitching, and that is where most of the answer is written.
