He also started the Nationals on their way to & 3-to-0 victory with his bat. Naturally, Skipper Harris accepted the pitching as something the kid had in him all the time. The batting he put down as something that just happened. It wasn't until the recent Philadel- phia series in Washington that Bucky began to get suspicious. Belve Bean YODER ON @ MARKEY RALLIES Left | to arouse athletes of the green from GOLF TITLE HOPE 0 CONQUER LYNCH Will Face Winner of Mitch- ell-Shore Match for City Tennis Championship. UD MARKEY, of Notre Dame, must have heard the “Irish Victory” march yesterday. Creek Tennis Courts heard it, but somewhere in Markey’s brain there must have come the strains of that which entreated its sons to “fight on.” And Markey must have remembered that its stirring tune seldom failed BY BILL DISMER. No one else at the Rock glorious old tune of his alma mater, the throes of defeat and start them on the road to victory. Fot that is what Markey was forced to do yesterday to earn the right to play for the City of Washington ten- nis championship tomorrow afternoon when he will meet either Dooly Mitchell or Frank Shore, depending upon which of those emerges victori- ous in the next to last match of the singles tournament yesterday. It was Hugh Lynch, an ex-Prince- ton star and seeded just below Mar- key, who started out as if he were to spring another upset and eliminate | the No. 5 player from the tourna- | ment, For after the first game in the first set of their three-set match yes- | terday, which Markey won, Lynch quickly tied the score and went ahead in the third game, never to be headed for the rest of the set. Markey Stages Rally. 'HAT first set ended with Lynch on the long end of a 6-4 score and close observers and those seated on the slopes of the reservoir started to wag their heads as they visoned the defeat of another favorite.

Be- cause a review of the Chisox series, out of which the Griffs managed to equeeze two weird verdicts, certainly did not show Ear]l Whitehill, Russell, Ed Linke et al. as his moundsmen. Linke didn't help the Griffs bag the opener with his pitching, but his eingle out of three trips was respon- gible for two runs and aided in a 9-to-8 win. Whitehill was no bargain in the third tilt as a pitcher, but he knocked across one of the Nationals' two runs with a sizzling double, one of the five hits the Washingtons made off Ted Lyons. Then yesterday all doubt was re- moved. In winning the White Sox finale by a score which the Blue Flame Valets and the Coast and Geodetic Survey teams would be ezhamed to turn in for publication, three of Bucky's so-called pitchers gave up 20 assorted hits. And the only two to bat—Russell and Linke— beat the Sox sluggers at their own game. They out-Simmonsed the Chi- cagoans.

It will be ladies’ night next Wednes- day at the Capital City Chess Club, 916 Sixteenth street. ‘woman players are cordially invited to ird | Mrs. E. L. Reed on the Chevy Chase upset . | Harrison Brand, 2 and 1, after 35 holes, was repeatedly tempting Markey to | the net and then passing him with well-timed placements and after the | score had progressed to 4—4, he | quickly ran out the next two games | for the first blood of the match. It was then, perhaps, that Markey | heard the “fight!” of his Alma Mam- | my, Just as suddenly and as quickly | as the Old Rockne teams used to do, | | the ex-Notre Dame star began to rally | and to bat balls all over the court and in the next 20 minutes he won | six straight games for a love victory | to tie the match. And once the match was dead- locked. there s no stopping Bud. | | After Lynch took the first game of |the final set on his own service, Markey ran away with three straight games, reversing the tactics of the first set by sucking his opponent out | of position and then banging the ball | to the vacated part of his foe's court. | But it wasn't only trickery that brought victory to the determined | winner. Markey was laying for the lazy lobs of Lynch, which that worthy seem- ingly didn’t learn to quit using, for they were repeatedly converted into smash placements by his enemy. And | many times Markey displayed tennis of the sensational brand, making startling backhand recoveries, which | drew forth applause from those at- tracted to the scene. With the score 5—3, Markey broke | through Lynch's service to take three | | straight points in the final game, and | after Lynch interrupted this b,vi | snatching one point, the match found | a typical ending when Markey smashed & return deep into the opposite court. | Mitchell Faces Shore. TODAY at 2 o'clock Dooly Mitchell | was to face Frank Shore, with the | former conceded a slight edge in the unofficial consensus. The winner will face Markey tomorrow. Attracting aimoat as much atten- tion as Markey's victory was the con- tinuation of tne Congressional sensa- tion, Representative Hamilton Fish, and his nephew, Bill Breese, The Fish-Breese team early yesterday morning completed their unfinished match with Spriggs and Stocklinski, resuming play with the score tied, | 8—8, and winning the first two games | upon resumption of activities to ad- vance to the quarter-finals. The final game of that match too, was typical of the uphill fight the tournament’s surprise team has waged. With Bill Breese serving, he and Fish surrendered the first three points of the eighteenth game, but with the score at love—40, rallied in three points to tie the score and won the match when Stocklinski failed to return Breese's service within the court limits. | Over in the junior tournament, the Ritzenberg family is going to gain & | championship. The clinching of the | championship for the Ritzenbergs was | accomplished yesterday when both | Natie and Allie won their semi-final matches and will meet each other in the final match. Natie defeated one of the tournament favorites, Harry March 2—8, 6—4, 6—1, while Brother Allie disposed of Channing in straight sets, 6—3, 6—4. Finals in that tournament as well as the boys’ classes will be played tomor- row. If Dooley Mitchell wins his semi-final singles match today, the finals of the unlimited doubles will not be played until a week from tomorrow as he is slated to play on one of the doubles team of the tournament and officials decided against asking the former champ to play two final matches in one day.

By the Associated Press, EW YORK, June 15.—The Pennsylvania monopoly on big league batting honors became even more pronounced during the past week as the one-third of the season mile post drew near, with five of the Athletics’ clouters in the Amer- ican League’s “first ten” and three representatives of the Pittsburgh Pirates and one of the Phillies in sim- ilar positions in the National League. ‘With the marks of many of the leaders tumbling, many of the Penn- sylvania group held more prominent positions than before after yesterday's games. Doc Cramer of the Athletics hopped from ninth place to fifth in the junior circuit. while Jimmie Foxx and Eric McNain moved up a notch apiece despite falling averages. | dropped clear out of the group of lead- ers, returned to fourth place in the National with a .322 average and Paul ‘Waner of the Pirates slipped back in.

FULLERTON, JR,, Associated Press Sports Writer. HILE It would be impossible to enter ail thd& od1 hap- penings of any major league season in the record books, it seems wortky of note when two of the best pitcning performances of the still-young 1935 campaign are recorded on the zame day and neither of the pitchers who did the work was able to win his zame, On fields separated by only a few miles, Leon Chacnon of the Giants pitched a two-hit game against the Reds yesterday and lost it 2 to 0 and William Watson Clark, veteran Brook- jyn southpaw, gave the Pirates only three blows and suffered & 1-to-0 setback. Chagnon, making his first appear- ance as & starring hurler in nearly iwo years, apparently was a victim of circumstances in the second inning when the Reds d'd all their stickwork. Jim Bottomley, celcbrating his re- turn to action after a three weexs' ab- sence due to lumbago, slasied & vicious liner down to first. Bill Terry stabbed at it with his bare hand and the game was held up while the hand was inspected for pos- sible injuries. Getting back to work after the de- lay, Chagnon grooved one for Gilly Campbell and the young catcher belted it into the stands for a homer. Meanwhile, Paul Derringer, winning his eighth game of the year, neatly set the Giants down with four hits. It was the same at Brooklyn, where Bill Swift, Pittsburgh flinger, granted the Dodgers oniy five blows and caught his mound rival napping in the ninth to smack a «iuble and score the only run on Forrest Jensen's two- bagger. Bues Take Second Place, ITTSBURGH'S triumph moved the Bucs into second place in the National TLeague as the Cardinals aplit & hard fought double header with the Braves. Boston took the opener, 5 to 4, when Wally Berger smashed a homer with two aboard. After Dizzy Dean had tofled 13 in. nings in the nightcap the Cards final- ly won for him 8 to 7 on hits by Jack Rothrock and Jim Collins plus a sacrifice, Curt Davis of the Phillies, making his first start since the season’s open- er, showed that he had recovered from his sore arm trouble, when he bore down in the clinches and beat the Cubs 5 to 4, although touched for 11 hits. The American League produced a succession of weird slugfest, the odd- est of which saw the Senators beat the White Sox 16 to 11, in 11 innings, after Chicago had overcome an 8-to-0 deficit. The league-leading Yankees had to go 13 innings to subdue the last- place Browns, 4 to 3, after tying the count in the ninth when Merrit Cain weakened toward the finish of a well-pitched game, Boston's Red Sox moved into a virtual tie with Cleveland for fourth place, when they bowled over the Tigers 10 to 8, after blowing an early 7-3 lead, while the Indians took a 5-4 set back from the Athletics due largely to Monte Pear- son's wildness.
