LEADERS UNAWED | BYHURLING STARS Have Fine Faith in Ability to Bow! Over Foe in Set of Four Games. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HREE games ahead of the runner-up Yankees, the league-leading Nationals as they went into the week | end double-header with the In- dians fully expected their margin as pace-makers to be at least that good after their three days of bat- tling with Walter Johnson's aggregation. When here in May the Indians and Nationals were tied up in a bitter struggle for second posi- tion. Since, however, the Tribe has become a lowly second-divi- sion outfit and Joe Cronin and his stalwarts anticipated no great difficulty in disposing of the broken band in the four-game series. | This did not indicate ovenconfidence in the Nationals. Instead, it signified a fine faith in their ability to bowl over any opposition they encounter these days. The wearers of the Wash- i ington uniform believe themselves to | be of championship caliber and feel certain they will play up to such a| standard. They are not daunted by any sixth- place club like the Indians and are confident they will lose no ground in the pennant pursuit while battling | with them. That's the spirit the Na-| tlonals carried into the series, their first at home since they soared to the heights. UR dashing league leaders are like- Iy to find a deal of fight in the Indians, though. The Cleveland club has not been hitting all season and its fielding has been nothing to boast about, but it lugs along a lot of pitching wherever it goes. And the base ball wise claim that nowadays pitching is just about 70 per cent of the game x Really good moundsmen are with this Cleveland club, even though they have not been very successful in their recent efforts. In Ferrell, Hildebrand, Harder and Hudlin the Tribe has a quartet that no batters yearn to face. The Nationals took the measures of Ferrell and Hildebrand the last time they en- countered them. Ferrell they beat rather easily, for his arm was bother- | ing him, but Hildebrand gave them a| splendid fight before flering defeat. A slight break in his favor in that game in Cleveland last month and he would have been the victor. He was so good in that game the Nationals decided Hildy is about the best right- hand hurler in the league. There is no questioning the confi- dence of the Nationals in themselves. On their recent record they should have it. But 5o long as Johnson can send his string of star pitchers into action, it will be no picnic for Cronin and his charges. . OMETHING new in Cleveland line- ups probably_will be seen during | the series. Shortly after he took over the management of the Indians | last month, Johnson decided that some who had been regarded major league | players were not quite that good and | he set about revising his_organizatior He had not done so well, though, the time the Nationals encountered his men in Cleveland. Then the Indians | were defeated in four of five games. Since, they have dropped five of eight games. But Walter is still trying. With Harley Boss mixed up in a lawsuit, Johnson has had on first base | Milton _Galatzer. originally assigned to right fleld after he was brought up from Toledo. An4 he has been using Bad News Hale instead of Bill Cissell at second base recently. Johnson thinks Hale a coming star and plans to have him in there regularly soon. But with Galatzer at first, the Indians must use | in right field a still-crippled Dick Porter. And Johnny Burnett, who was the Tribe's best hitter before he hurt a leg, still suffers from the injury and can't get into the infield regularly. That means the uncertain Bill Knick- erbocker must be at short much of the time. Johnson has changed his line-up fre- quently of late and is likely to do more changing here. That should not hurt the Nationals at all.

NEW YORK, July 8—Tim | Mara, engaged in a hot | promotorial tussle with | Madison Square Garden, ship fights, including the coveted return battle between Barney Ross and Tony Canzoneri for the | lightweight crown.

CRIMSON-ELI TEAM STRONG FAVORTE Eleventh Track Meet With Oxford-Cambridge Seen as | Record-Breaker. By the Associated Press AMBRIDGE, Mass., July 8.— The eleventh clash be- tween the combined Har-| 3 vard-Yale and Oxford-| Cambridge track teams, sched- | uled for this afternoon at the, stadium, promised to be a record- smasher. | The Americans were highly fa- | vored because of their strength in every event except the distance runs. Keith Brown, Yale's high jumping and vaulting ace, appeared to have an excellent chance of setting new rec- ords in his specialties and Jack Love- lock of Oxford and Walter Karran of Cambrideg, not only promised to give the British team victories in the mile and 2-mile runs, but also to run them in record time. Johnny Dean, Harvard's foot ball cap- tain-elect, has been a consistent 48-foot a mark that would better record of John Kilcullen of by almost 8 inches. George Lock- wood and Charlie Dunbar of Yale have run fast enough this season to set new marks for the high and low hurdles | and Karl Warner, another Yale star,| was expected to have little difficulty | getting under the 49-second quarter- | mile mark made by Oxford's B. G. D. Rudd here a dozen years ago. | __The field in the 100-yard dash, which included Edward Davis of Cambridge, | Edwin Calvin, Harvard, and Arthur Walsh, Yale, appeared fast enough to break 10 seconds and equal the mark | | made by Harvard's Bill Schick in 1904. | 11 HORSES IN QUICKST G CRONIN FRACTION OF POINT BEHIND Joe, Simmons and Foxx Are in Virtual Tie for Stick Lead in A. L. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, July 8.—Spurts by Jimmie Foxx and Joe Cronin, coupled with Al Simmons’ slight slump, left the American League batting race without a clearly defined | leader today. The National League was not much better off with Chuck Klein of the Phillies leading his teammate, Spud Davis, by only one point. Foxx picked up 22 points during the past week and, after yesterday's games, the percentages had to be carried to four places to separate the leaders. Simmons remained in front at .3686. !oll\;:gg by Cronin at .3682 and Foxx at .3680. Davis Gains on Klein. OTH National League leaders regis- tered gains, Klein going up three | points to .369 and Davis picking up six points to boost his figure to| .368.

If Foxx has hopes of breaking Ruth’s all-time record of 60 home runs in a season, he ought to have accumulated 30 or more four-play hits by this time, but his total is a few below that figure.

Lately it has been my good fortune to make home runs on the same kind of hits, al- though the ball traveled farther. “When you hit the ball and it carries for a home run, you can almost feel it in your arms as it leaves the home plate.
