Nats’ Showing on Trip Elates Harris : Ringer Battle Down to G. <@ BETTER THANEVEN BREAK IS ASSURED Stand 9-6, With Two Left With Tribe—Sees Faster Pace on Home Lot. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Staft Correspondent of The Btar. LEVELAND, May 14.—If his ball club gets home as good as two games above an even break, Bucky Harris will be well satisfied. That is how the Nationals stood today as they were scheduled to tackle the Indians for the first time this season after twice being balked by inclement weather and with two games to go before winding up their initial jaunt of the season around foreign flelds. “We're really in better trim than our even break in the West so far | seems to show,” the Washington man- | ager sald today. “When we get back to our own lot I am confident we'll move along at even a better pace than we have since leaving home last month. “And don’t forget that on this trip we have won nine games while losing six. No matter what happens here in Cleveland we're bound to return to Griffith Stadium with better than an even break for the tour. I regard that a fine record for a traveling club at this stage of the campaign, the way most of the clubs have been play- ing.” A Pleasing Performance. MPARED to their road perform- | ance last year, the manner in | which the Nationals have com- | gorted themselves this time is good | enough to please Washington fandom a2 well as their field marshal. In | their drive to the championship in 1933 the Nationals were a high-grade lot when away from home as well as | on their own grounds. Last season, | however, the best they could do away | from the Washington ball yard wns; aggressiveness in the Nationals. The improvement is great enough to lead Harris to believe his club will make a aecided spurt in the race when it set- tes to the grind in Washington. Home ’ cooking and friendly surroundings should make his ball club a formid- | able contender in the champlomhipt race, insists the dynamic leader. “I'm not kidding about that ‘home | cooking’ either,” said Bucky. “There's a certain something about the food one gets in the refreshing presence of | his family that keeps a ball player in better trim. I can't explain just | what there is about it, but I know it was always s0 in my case, and from what the other boys say it goes for them, too. | “We stop in the best of hotels on the road. Excellent tables are pro- | vided. But there isn’t the delightful | atmosphere of the homeside. Perhaps much of this may be mental” the manager admitted. “Anyway, I find ball clubs are usually at their best ‘when they are eating at home.” Also Helps Bank Roll. W\ TO DOUBT the officials in charge | ! of the Washington club's treas- ury also find it better for the ball players to be eating on their own at home instead of getting their meals at the expense of the ball club on the road. While the Nationals generally are careful as to diet, they number among them many good‘ trenchermen. | ‘Their choice of food with respect to | proteins, calories and vitamins is| carefully considered. Quality is up-| permost. But many are not so squeam- | ish as to quantity. Especially on days when they idle. A ball player never has to work up an appetite. ‘The Nationals had no way to work up an appetite yesterday, other than | by their imaginations. The Cleve- land club management called off the game before the slight precipitation that merely moistened the ball yard had fairly started. There was a sprinkle at 12:30, the game was called at 12:45, and at 1 the sun was on the job in earnest. So when the Washington crowd gets back here next month it will have two double-headers at least to put on dur- ing its three-day stay, unless the league bosses have mercy and juggle the schedule to spread out the twin- | billing. Otherwise it might be quite rough on both clubs, for in another four weeks the pitching staffs of the Nationals and the Indians are apt to be well worn down by the play-off of postponed engagements. Indians’ Slab Staff Shaky. HE hasty calling off of yesterday's date by the Cleveland manage- ment might have been due to the ragged condition of the Tribal twirling corps. Walter Johnson has not at his command the flock of fine pitchers with which he started the season. Injuries and illness have taken their toll of the local hillmen. Per- | haps Johnson figured it would be bet- | ter to take the chance of having the pitchers in better trim when the Na- tlonals come around the next time. The double postpénement has not changed Manager Harris' pitching plans for the series at all. Earl White- hill was to southpaw against the Tribe this afternoon if a game was put on— the weather man still was forecasting rain—while Walter Stewart, who took the Johnson jousters plenty last sea- | son, s scheduled to left-hand them tomorrow. pla Griffs’ Records | Zz » SeccsosmocueoLIRs e’ 3b.

HE heavyweight boxing situation has come to a pretty pass when it is necessary for a couple of fine, upstanding, honest gentle- men like James Joy Johnston and Mike Jacobs to debunk fighters like Max Baer and Joe Louis as they have debunked 'em. M'sieu Johnston, who still hangs his iron hat in Madison Square Garden, and Mr. Jacobs, promoter of the new Twentieth Century Club, also have something else in common. Not that { anybody cared much, but when the Washington delegation of so-called fight writers swooped down on Man- hattan for the Tony Canzoneri-Lew Ambers fight and asked the promo- torial gents what Baer-Braddock and Carnera-Louis will draw, respectively, the answer was $300,000. “Baer and Braddock is a great fight,” declared James Joy, who will perpetrate this particular heavyweight offering on the public June 13. “It will easy ‘do’ 300 grand. That Carnera- Louis thing? Phooey. It will be lucky to draw $100,000.” Both Battles Have Weak Spots. R. JACOBS, a sour-faced gent with a dead-herring hand- shake, cannot see how even a community as gullible &s Gotham will swallow Braddock and Bser. So, without any originality at all, he con- cedes M'sieu Johnston’s fight not more than 100 “grand” and talks of at least a $300,000 “take” for his own Carnera-Louis affair, which will be committed June 19. Both fights seem to have their weak spots. as Messrs. Johnston and Jacobs appear to feel. against Braddock right under Mr. Johnston's window. This is very distressing to James Joy, but he is making the best of it. Baer is being debunked and shot while Brad- dock saves people from drowning and has ringwisies calling him “underrated.” Mr. Jacobs’ chief headache at pres- ent is caused by the general feeling that dusky Joseph Louis will grind Da Preem into fine hamburger. Con- sequently he concentrates on the Detroit Destroyer—unflatteringly. Kingfish Not Warned, F THE two promoters James J.

He had won only one game, in a relief role, | and lost three, pitching only one com- | plete game up until the Yankees came | | to town. | | Against his pet “cousins,” however, | Rowe was invincible. Red Rolfe beat out a bunt in the sixth and got to third on Lou Gehrig's single, but Tony Lazzeri hit into a double play to spoll the only chance the Yankees had to score. ‘The Tigers got to Gomez for one run in the first on a walk, Gerald Walker's single and Charley Gehringer's long fly. They picked up another on Walker's home run in the sixth and scored one off Pat Malone in the eighth on a double by Gehringer and a single by Hank Greenberg.

Leo Durocher's tenth-inning home run broke up a great pitching duel at New York be- | tween Carl Hubbell of the Giants and | Bill Walker of the St. Louis Car- dinals and gave the Cards a 3-2 victory. Walker allowed only six hits and might have had a utout had he been able to take care of Joe Moore, who clouted two home runs, to keep the Glants in the game. Hubbell also was in good form, but was nicked for single runs in the first and sixth, wild-pitching the second Cardinal counter across the plate. The seven-hit pitching of Young | Bill Lee, plus a brilliant defense, car- ried the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 tri- umph over the Brooklyn Dodgers, who | found their second-place lead over the Cubs cut to four percentage points. Cy Blanton stopped the Phillles with four hits for his fifth victory in six starts as the Pittsburgh Pirates punched out a 10-1 victory. 8i John- son held the Boston Braves to five hits and Cincinnati won, 3-1. — IT WILL BOOST | 00ST LEAD| Favored Over Central Tomorrow in Contest Delayed a Day Because of Drill.

Fogging 'Em Through. | N THE outburst of pitching, which | has featured the Spring campaign so far, the old argument blows in concerning sheer speed—the fast- | est of the day in comparison with | the fastest of all time. ‘When you say “all time,” you cal write down the name of Walter John- | son and stand pat. Grove and Vance were no slow-ball entries. Today you won't be far wrong on Van Mungo | of Brooklyn and young Paul Dean of the Cardinals when it comes to fog- ging ‘em through, as Dizzy describes it. And Dizzy can whistle a few fast | ones when he gets in a hole. The same goes for Roy Parmelee and Hal Schumacher of the Giants. McLarnin and Ross. P S I recall it,” writes L. F., “you | figured Ross the winner in both McLarnin fights. I liked | McLarnin in both fights. What's the matter with Jimmy in your book? Not a thing. Once they step into the ring they all look alike—race, creed, old or young, previous condi- tion of servitude. Ross had too much speed for McLarnin, a far better puncher. just as Sammy Mandell, the Rockford west wind, had years ago. Punchers always e trouble hit- ting a fast target. Ross isn't much of a puncher. He pever has been. But he is much faster than McLarnin, and a far harder target to hit. In my opinion, he won going away in both McLarnin fights, and he still has the same advantage he had be- fore—too much speed. As you get older you can match many things—but speed isn't one of them. On the face of past returns. Mc- Larnin will have to lug out the old tagging bolo to get safely by—unless the third meeting leads to the same monotonous debate that followed the first two shows. Spring Golf Tips. F YOU had the chance around some locker room to talk with Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen, Paul Runyan, Horton Smith, or almost any other consistent performer, and started ask- ing for some golf advice, the first question asked would be about your grip. And the chances are your grip would be wrong. And a bad grip won't work, even with a correct swing. It is the right grip that brings the face of the club into the ball in the right line or plane or manner. And the right grip is largely in the fingers, with the left hand fairly well over the club shaft—far enough over to show three knuckles—with the right hand about facing the line of flight. ‘The knuckle and forefinger “V” of the left hand should be pointing slightly inside the left shouider, and the same “V” of the right hand should be pointing toward the right shoulder. ‘The overlapping grip is much the soundest, where the little finger of the right hand overlaps the forefinger of the left. ‘This is the grip used and advocated by almost every leading star. Get the picture well in your mind and develop the habit of gripping just this way. Don’t take it for granted, but see that your hands are placed in the right way before you start your swing. It is a detail much more im- portant than you might think. Two more points—be sure that the last two fingers of the left hand are gripping firmly—and also the first two fingers of the right—thumb and forefinger. The grip should be firm -—especially in the left hand—but not tense or tight, always leaving the wrist action unlocked. The First Month.

EW YORK, May 14—You never would guess from visiting with those St. Louis Cardinals down in the dugout that the world champions are running a weak fourth in the National League. “It's too early to say anything yet,” ventured Manager Frankie Frisch cautiously, “but we better not get too far back, that's a cinch.” From the way the rest of those Cardinals barber and fool you'd think they were still playing the Tigers in a world se; “This club never gets off to an early | start,” suggested one veteran, “and no one has guessed the reason yet They're so busy fooling around the first couple of months experimenting with guys from Rochester and Houston and the rest of the farm places that it isn’t a major league club at all until midseason " Frick’s Visit Brief. 1t being the Cardinals’ first visit of the season to the Polo Grounds, the dugout was honored by a visit from the league president, Ford C. Frick He was met by a concentrated blast on the subject of National League umpires. It seems that Bill Stewart, umpir- ing in Philadelphia Saturday, refused to allow Burgess Whitehead to take first as & hit batsman, although the ball broke one of his fingers in three places. The argument revolved about Stewart's expectorating on the wound to heal it, and then slapping $25 fines on Leo Durocher and Mike Gonzales for protesting. “Please, Mr. President.” begged Durocher, in mock humility, “won't you send that $25 back to me for Christmas?” Frick didn't stay as long as when he was a newspaper man.
