HAPPY TOLEAVE ROAD TOMORROW Newsom Will Pitch Sunday.f Red Sox Win, 14 to 7, to Sweep Series. FRANCIS E. STA Staft Correspondent of The Star. HILADELPHIA, July 4.—Weary and worn, Bucky Harris and his bedraggled Nationals paused here today for two final jousts terminating a road trip that was as dizzy as it was disappointing. Yet for the first time in a couple of weeks the Griffs are able to display a discreet glow of jubilancy. The clean sweep by the Red Sox was rough handling, to be sure, and today’s pros- pect of battling the Athletics in a double-header is not inviting. But there’s always tomorrow—and tomor- row, this time, means home. For the next five weeks, with the exception of a few days. the Griffs will do the entertaining and rare is the ball player who wound prefer traveling to_entertaining. Handled roughly by every other club in the circuit with the exception of St. Louis, the Griffs are looking forward to returning some of the same treat- ment. They will have Buck Newsom back on the slab staff after a month and a half of idleness, and unless there is an unexpected change in the condi- tion of Al Powell's leg, the fleet cen- ter fielder will be back in harness soon. Newsom to Pitch Sunday. 'SOM, as a matter of fact, will pitch Sunday when the Yanks conclude a three-day visit beginning tomorrow—Ladies’ day—in Griffth Stadium. This announcement Wwas made today by Boss Bucky after a telephone conversation with President Griffith. Newsom, according to Griff, is ready to go. After the Yanks will follow a couple of days of well-earned rest and then, beginning with the middle of next week, every other team in the league will invade. From oct of the West will come Detroit first, followed by the Browns, White Sox and In- dians. Then, aft>r three days of ac- tion in New York. the Gritfs will return home to entertain the Red Sox, Yanks and Athletics before swinging around the circuit on their | final complete r.ad jaunt of the season. ‘Well might the Naticnals be bappy to settle down orce again. In spite of one of the greatest massed offen- sives in a Washington team'’s history and generally iinc deiensive work all the Griffs have to show for the last month of journeying is a record far below the .500 mark. Going into today’s double-neader the Griffs’ record for the trip is eight victories against 14 defeats. They left in sixth place, entertain- ing high hopes cf returning in the first division. Instead the Nationals will be fortunate if tney come home in undisputed possession of sixth place. Lead League at Bat. 'HE only major sprig of laurel picked | up by the Grifts on thewr tour of the West and East was the team batting leadership of the American League. In their 22 road games to date the Washingtoiis have averaged better than seven runs per game and exactly 12 hits. And yet they failed miserabiy to improve their position. It is a com- mentary on a pitching staff that has been little less than unpardonable. During the 22 games of the tour the seven rival clubs amassed a total of 276 hits and 205 runs off the ‘Washington pitchers, such as they are. This is an average of nearly 13 hits a game and more than nine runs. Chances of winning with this kind of pitching has been prohibitive to say the least. Rather than improving as. the trip ‘wore on, the National slabmen be- came, if anything, worse. Washing- ton managed to outslug the White Sox in two of five tilts, and in St. Louis the Harrismen faced a club with pitching as bad, if possible, as their own. So they won that series 3to 1. Is a Sad Story. THE Browns were their only victims, % however. The Indians won two out of three, and the Tigers three out of five. Then upon their return to the East they were treated even more harshly. The Yanks won two out of three and the Red Sox yesterday com- pleted a clean sweep by taking the finale 14 to 7. It was a game typical of the tour. The Griffs batted Johnny Welch for 12 hits and overcame a three-nin deficit to hand Bump Hadley a 4-3 lead in the second inning. But Bump was a flop. He was out of the game after three innings and the Sox again were ahead, 5 to 4. Bob Burke and Red Kress were no improvements so the Bosox carried on to win pulling away, Official Score ‘WASHINGTON.

FROM THE Louis Rated No. 2 List, but Would Be BY JOHN T IS the function of the National Boxing Association to publish two lists. One is a list of N. B. A. champions, which never checks very closely with any other list and often contains the names of leather- pushers unknown to any one but their mothers and the members of the N. B. A. The second list is a ranking of the 10 best heavyweight fighters in the world, similar to the annual ranking of the tennis mob. This latter document has just come to hand. I predict that it will create a perfect storm of lethargy among the fight promoters and the fighters themselves. It will be received with yawns of excitement by James J. Johnston and Brother Michael Jacobs. After choking down their emotion, the two matchmakers will proceed to make matches without the slightest reference to the rankings of the N. B. A This is natural, since the N. B. A. has no control over New York State or any other State which doesn’t want to be con- trolled. It is national in name only. Still, I think the old institution deserves a break. Its list is the only list being published this week. As such, it will have to do. Louis’ Rating No Criterion. T THE head of the roll, in the old Abou Ben Adhem spot, we find the name of James J. Braddock. No. 2 is Joe Louis. If the No. 1 fighter and the No. 2 fighter were meeting in the ring this month, the odds would be 3 to 1 on No. 2. Maybe the odds would be 4 or 5 to 1. Any- way, there would be few takers, and if the champion beat the No. 2 boy he would be the most surprised man in a world of surprised people. | The third position goes to Herr Max Schmeling, who thus, in spite of his nice manners and kind smile, be- comes the No. 1 foreign menace of the world, displacing Primo Carnera. Below the canny Uhlan, in the 4 spot, we find Max Baer. At least we try to find Max Baer. When I tried to find him a short time ago to tell him about his good luck, he was sound asleep. “You couldn’t wake him now if he was a 10-goal polo player,” said Max’s trusted retainer, so I let it go. We can skip lightly over Signor Carnera, the No. 5 man, who falls like a No. 30. We can also pass by Walter Neusel, Steve Hamas, and Ar- thur Lasky, the three forgotten men whom the N. B. A. remembered well | enough to rank at 6, 7, and 8, respec- | tively. And now, lurking at the bot- tom of the list, we come across a couple of names which the N. B.

TRIBE AND TIGERS LOCKED IN SERIES Leaders’ Edge Should Grow if Nearest Foes Claw Each Other Equally. BY HUGH FULLERTON, Jr, Associated Press Sports Writer. E current battle between the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians offers a golden—or at least gilded—opportunity for the Yankees to build up a lead in the American League race which will re- semble the one their townsmen, the Giants, already have acquired in the National. At the traditional turning post of the season the Yanks have only three games for a lead as compared with the Giants’ 812, but if the Tigers and Indians can belt each other equally, the margin should grow rapidly. Just | now those two clubs look to be the | only real rivals for the McCarthymen, with Detroit the stronger of the two. The Yanks continued their swift pace yesterday when they turned back the Athletics 2 to 0 in a brilliant | pitching duel between Johnny Allen | and Roy Mahafley, but the Tigers kept | pace with thelr third straight triumph | over Cleveland, 11 to 7. The Western teams staged a highly promising slugfest as the Indians belted Vic Sorrell out in two innings only ta have the Tigers come back with a four-run burst that sent Oral | Hildebrand to the showers. Cleve- | land tied the score in the seventh, but | Detroit continued heavy hitting plus | Roy Hughes’ third and fourth errors | made it easy at the finish. Lazzeri Hits Homer. THE Yanks and Athletics made only | nine hits, the odd one going to Philadelphia, but one Yankee blow | was a homer by Tony Lazzeri and | another produced the second tally, | while Allen kept out of difficulty with eight strike outs. Chicago's White Sox cut Cleve- land’s third-place margin to a game by bowling over the St. Louis Browns, 5 to 3, on Ray Phelps’ five-hit fling- ing and a pre-holiday homer by George Washington. The Red Sox slashed out 15 hits to beat Wash- ington, 14 to 7. In the National League the Phillies outlasted the league-leading Giants in a 10-inning pitching and home- | run hitting duel, 4 to 3, while the Reds went the same distance to turn | back the second-place Cubs by a| like count. Each game was decided by a homer. Curt Davis of the Phils won his own game with a boundary belt | off Carl Hubbell after Dolph Camilli | had smashed his sixteenth of the sea- son and Hank Leiber had hit his eleventh to tie the score. Ernie Lombardi turned the trick for Cin- cinnati to render Paul Derringer’s | three-hit hurling effective and give the pitcher his eleventh victory. Van Mungo of Brooklyn also won his eleventh as the Dodgers crashed out 18 hits to beat the Braves, 13 to 6. | NEAR DIAMOND SELL-OUTE CLEVELAND, July 4 (9 —All but‘} approximately 4,000 of the 67,276 re- | served seats in Cleveland Stadium Other events and other stars—Percy | than Dartmouth, which still had two | have been sold for the all-star game Beard of the New York A.

There was no official announce- ment to this effect, but the sending of Fred Sington to Washington ahead of the team last night is taken as a tip- off that Sington and Miles will trade places. President Clark Griffith called Har- ris on long-distance yesterday and or- dered Sington to leave immediately for Washington. Griff did not say where Sington was headed for—if anywhere—but it is believed the for- mer all-America tackle from Alabama will be sent to Chattanooga. | HILADELPHIA, July 4—Bucky 1 P Harrls' hopes of getting Out- Sington received little chance, to be sure, but he is believed a little 100 slow to hold down a regular job in the out- field—especially in a large park like Griffith Stadium. His teammates, however, do not un- derstand how the other seven clubs waived on him a few weeks ago. Some maintain that Sington would look good in the Red Sox outfield. They con- tend that Fenway Park, with its short left-field fence, would be ideal for Sington. And the Sox are supposed to be looking for a gardener, too. BUCKY HARRIS, Joe Cronin, Eddie Eynon, jr., and Eddie Collins had their heads together yesterday before | the Sox series finale and the more ob- | serving Griffs were buzzing. But noth- ing seemed to come of it. The winnah—Ed Linke! He and Al Schacht, Red Sox coach, finally tangled yesterday on the ramp leading from the field. But the battle | that was built up and ballyhooed for some weeks disappointed the onlook- ers, who were composed chiefly of members of both teams. Linke, with a weight advantage of more than 50 pounds, fell on top of Schacht after a few preliminary shots | | at long range and squashed Aloysius into surrendering, according to some of the bystanders. Their scrap was bound to come | sooner or later. Linke claims that Schacht has been riding him ever since he joined the Washington club and that since Schacht’s transfer to Boston it has been worse. | _ Such things came to a head yester- |day. Linke replied heatedly to some | words by Schacht and the coach chal- lenged him. Immediately after the | last putout players of both teams scampered under the stands, but some of them claimed “it was worse than the Baer-Braddock thing.” 4 Buddy ' stopped. | After hitting in 21 consecutive games and batting his way among the league leaders, the little Wash- ington field leader went away yester- day—and against a “nothing baller.” | __Johnny Welch was Buddy’s nemesis.
