'A—10 Rampant Red Sox Likely to Test BOSTON SPEEDBOYS| STEPINTOMORROW Have Won 9 of Their Last 10 Games—Yanks Even Set as Griffs “Choke Up.” | BY JOHN B. KELLER. HROUGH with the Yankees | for a few days, the Na- tionals—still in the lead, but perhaps a trifle off- color after their trying tussles | with the Big Bam and his bunch of busting buddies—have another tough task on their hands. The Red Sox are coming for a three-game series, the scrapping | spread over tomorrow, Thursday | and Sunday. And nowadays a| series with the Boston band | means a lot of trouble and often | woe to any ball club. This new Yawkey-Collins aggrega- tion is not the soft pickings the old Red Sox clubs used to be. Up and coming, the Boston boys have no respect for any foe and are dishing up beatings right and left. They have won nine of their last ten engagements, winding up this stretch of set-tos with three successive triumphs over the Athletics. Although in seventh place now, the Red Sox are looking forward to a first- division berth, something a Boston cutfit never dreamed of getting for | years. In fact, this audacious new lot figures a third-place finish might well be made. Mavbe so. The Red Sox today are but two and a half games behind the A's, who occupy the show position in the American League race. | Homecoming for Judge. i HE Red Sox will bring here a flock i of good pitchers, several danger- | out hitters and also an old pal | of the Washington fans. Joe Judge, for years a great first baseman with the Nationals, after a brief sojourn in | the senior major circuit is back in his old league sporting a Boston uniform. | Judge isn't working regularly for the | outfit with which he hooked up only a | few days ago, but the Red Sox may have to call on him here. Nothing would please the Washington fans more than seeing Joe stepping around the initial sack, even though in alien colors. The Nationals have mauled the Red Sox in eight of a dozen games this seascn, but they have not played them since early in June. It was not until after their last battling with the Wash. ington club that the Boston band be- | came so hot. | New York Series May Tell. HO'S who and what’s what in the American League cham- pionship chase goes over to next week for a possible decision. Na- tionals and Yankees may settle the issue between them in the four-game series that starts with a double-header in New York Monday. They were unable to get anywhere as they wrestled with the problem here the last five days. The Nationals, en- tering the set one game up on their arch rivals, with a gallant spurt in- creased their league lead to three games and then proceeded to fold up, and all the ground they had gained was ‘ lost to the New Yorkers. So long as their pitching was strong the Nationals flashed a lot of cham- pionship class. Back of spotty box work their defense cracked badly. however, and they became easy to take. The Yankees' failure to get anywhere in the first two games of the recent series here was due to overwrought nerves, according to the newspaper critics accompanying the New York club. They were so eager to get back at the club that had beaten them re- peatedly they went into action too taut, too much on edge. As a consequence, theyv “choked up” in the pinches. All the “choking up” was done by the Nationals in the last two games of the series, however. At every crisis the home side slipped badly to make the way to victory easy for the Yanks. The Nationals went into the series keyed to a high pitch and threw all they had into the first two frays. Then they broke under the strain and took their | beating flat on their backs. i But next week they'll have another | fine opportunity to prove their mettle. \ | Griffs’ Records \ Batting. | ing out shekels. SPORTS ‘Back Stage in Sports Reform Gains in Box- .ing. Ruth to Pilot Yanks Is Rumor. | BY TOM DOERER. EFORM is gaining momen- tum in the beezer-bamming business. Backstage, Na- tion-wide efforts are being made by the gentlemen who con- trol the biffing pastime to have it stand inspection. Commissions, of course, are doing | the bulk of the work. In Frisco, Chi- cago and New York, three big fronts in the racket, ruling bodies making con- siderable gain in eliminating the wise babies. Hop-gun men of the game are find- ing the public less gullible to frauds and fakes. And so easy money is get- | ting more scarce. Fighters and man- agers with crooked fingers and ideas | also much out of alignment know the | old golden goose is very much dead. | They are trying to establish another | | producing _drake along cleaner and | more durable lines. In New York, for instance, the commission has been quietly working from the reform ground floor upward. They insist that fighters be more evenly matched, bex office methods more business like to protect fighter and spec- tator and a plan is afoot to abol- ish judges and leave the refer~ eeing of a contest to one respon- sible person. In other sports commission rules are being enforced with more vigor, rin touts are being firmly herded out of the picture and the game being readied for a more prosperous business era. The official scrubbing brush could be worked to advantage in Maryland. Here and there promoters and club owners are getting “cuts” from the fighters and much partiality is being shown fighters who seek to be matched only with scrappers they can whip. And the lack of interest in.the game at Baltimore indicates it is time for the commission to weed out and pol- ish up. HE anti-McCarthy gang on the Yankees’ roster is said to be headed by none other than the popular candidate for a manager’s job next year, Mr. Babe Bam Ruth, who did more than twist his ankle in the Griff- Senator series. If McCarthy's Yanks lose the flag this year, Jake Ruppert will snip off both of his ears. If he wins it, there will not :e much for Col. Jake to do but keep im. That makes it mighty tough for the Ruth faction out there on the ball field. They must work hard to defeat their own aims. Attendance at the New York-Wash- ington ball games here shows there is nothing the matter with the Capital as a ball town. But the customers these days insist the show be good before dol- Depression brought on the survival only of the fittest in sports. Cheap side shows and bush lcague ballyhoo no longer get the trade. FTER permitting the Yanks to dis- play all of their fielding horrible, our pride and joy ball club un- ccrked its worst efforts yesterday after- noon.

HICAGO, August 1.—Charlie Grimm became manager of the Chicago Cubs a year ago tomorrow and led them to a National League cham- pionship, but the record of Grimm’s 1933 club bears a marked similarity to that of his predeces- sor, Rogers Hornsby, at the same stage of the campaign a year ago. When Grimm took charge of the club it had won 53 of its 99 games and was in second place, five games back of the Pittsburgh "Pirates. That much was accom- plished under Hornsby, who now is engaged in the task of trying to hoist the St. Louis Browns out of the bottom of the American League. Today. Grimm's Cubs had won 53 out of 99 games, the same as Horn- by's retord. How- ever, there was & large difference in their stending in the leagie. Where L :| they were in the | “CHARLEYaGRIMM~ runner-up posi- | tion a year ago, | they were in the fourth hole today, six | and one-half games behind the league- leading New York Giants, with the Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals sandwiched in between. Not one of the club’s last three pilots, Joe McCarthy, Hornsby and | Grimm, has been able to break the | Cubs of the habit of folding up on the road. They won the championship {last year during a home stand which | produced 14 straight victories. They left Chicago a week ago for a six-game | tour, "after having pulled up right on |'the Giants' heels by winning 16 out | of 19 games at Wrigley Field. | Then they went to Pittsburgh and {lost three straight. From' Pittsburgh they moved to St. Louis and took three | beatings in a row from the Cardinals, | virtually wiping out what they had gained during the productive home stay. They have lost 24 out of their last 30 on the road. Today the National League cham- pions opened a short home stand against Cincinnati, which will t~ fol- lowed by Pittsburgh and St. Louis be- fore setting out on another long jours.ey. O&AT Amv\!!

HICAGO, August 1.—Jockey ‘ clubs and racing associa- tions throughout the coun- try are mustering forces for a clean-up of the widespread doping of thoroughbreds. The racing interests must take quick and drastic action to preserve the sport, for the Federal Govern- ment is interested primarily in halting the sale and transporta- tion of narcotics rather than a clean-up of racing. While there always 1s gossip around a track that doping is being done, the extent of the practice as disclosed by J. J.

Thirty-one safeties were pasted by | the two clubs, the Yanks getting 18 and the home side 13. The hits were good for 53 bases. It was a great display of offensive power. Among the Yanks' hits were four doubles and three triples. The Na- tionals slammed two doubles, as many triples and also had two home runs among their hits. Their 13 safeties totaled 25 bases, only 3 less than the Yanks got with their 18 hits. Dave Harris, with two homers and a double, was the big gun of the Wash- ington attack. The Sherifl’'s homers were tremendous drives into the sun parlor back of left field.

According to Federal operatives 63 horses have been doped on Chicago tracks this Summer and 30 in Mary- land. During the Winter season 62 -| cases were discovered at New Orleans and 30 in Maryland. The extent of the practice at other tracks cannot be esti- mated since the efforts of the Federal agents have been restricted to certain localities. Every reputable owner of horses is ready to join in the drive against the dopers since only a few of the wealthies breeders and racers of thoroughbreds can feel themselves safe from the hands of the swindlers. A horse may be doped by any one of several men with which it comes in daily contact and the owner in most instances is helpless. Penalty is Two-Edged. HERE is a double-barreled pun- ishment for any one found guilty of administering narcotics to a horse. Not only will he be subject to Federal prosecution for illegal posses- sion of drugs but also will be ruled off organized tracks for life. And with the growth of legalized racing throughout the United States during the past year, there are few outlaw tracks remainigg where the swindlers could operate. The doping of a horse is accom- plished with several varieties of drugs and in different ways. Heroin is the most common used, but cocaine, hashish and laudunam also are em- ployed. The easiest manner in which to administer the dope is by rubbing it on a horses tongue or lips. Some- | times it is injected into one of the | main arteries of the neck or introduced into the throat with a syringe. A young horse stimulated frequently with narcotics quickly burns itself out, while an aged one, its heart action in- creased by the drug. scon dies. Some horses rapidly become “hopheads” and will not run at their best unless carry- ing a load of drugs. While the prac- tice usually is to increase a horse’s energy and speed. occasionally a good horse is given such a heavy shot that it becomes slow and loggy. ¢ It is estimated that the dopimg of horses on Chicago tracks this Summer | has cost bettors hundreds of thomsands | of dollars. The average daily wagering !on Chicago tracks runs between $25C.- 000 and $300,000, while it is estimated ithn! a million is placed outside the | tracks. Since the Chicago season runs | from early Spring into the Fall it is | easy to estimate the vast sum lost to | the swindle ring as the result of doped | horses. i Otto W. Lehman. president, and John W. Hertz, director of the Arlington Jockey Club. where the Federal raid took place last week, are two of the country’s leading horsemen who are heading the crusade against the dopers.

Leading National League Left-handers, After Johnson’s Shutout Mark. He also boosted his string of score- less innings to 38%5. This doesn't break the record, but it will take only about two games more, at the rate at which he is going, for him to be up to Walter Jchnson, who made his record a long time 2go. The number of low-score games pitched by Hubbell this season is remarkable. What has he got that is so hard to hit? He pitches a flood drop ball, which falls from a eight farther than that usually em- ployed in a drop by other pitchers. The ball has a nice way of swooping down on the batter, usually passing about 2 inches below his bat, and finding a welcome lodging place in the big glove of the catcher. In addition to this, he can pitch a curve, either out of in, which has a sharp break and which a batter is lucky to hit if he has his eye on the ball up to the last second. Hubbell's great speed is another factor in his success, and he could rely on that alone were he asked to do'so. If he had a good slow ball, fully as effective as his fast one, he would be one of the most dangerous pitchers that ever faced a batsman. ‘Worked as he has been this Sum- mer, with plenty of rest between es, he has.proved how strong can go when the opportunity ‘3 offers. John J. McGraw had the same notion about him. “No use in pitching that fellow too hard.” was his comment. Pitch him easy- like, and you will get the best re- sults. Then he will have plenty of time to get back, the strength in his arm.” There was one Sprirg when Hub- bell was with the Detroit Club at San Antonio. The weather wasn't very good and the mornings were damp and raw. Hubbell used to get a workout every morning. It was a wonder that he had'any arm left. It was the theory of his manl&er that he would get rid of his wild- ness quicker if he had plenty of work. : Hubbell was an uncomplaining youngster, as he was just aking into the big leagues.
