Whitehill Is Griff Dtsappomtment Bengals Shake ] Yankee Grip on Lead WITHOUT VICTORY |Grif fmen’s Outlook Brighter, | With Powell, Newsom on Deck And Miles Reportmg Sunday FOR LAST MONTH Earl and Coppola Are Only Members of Slab Staff With No Road Win. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. NE of the more acute disap- pointments this season for O the Nationals has been Earl Whitehill’s failure to win his quota of ball games. In fact, the veteran southpaw has not been cred- ited with a victory for exactly one month. This, in itself, explains much of the reason why the Griffs pick up the thread of their campaigning today at Grifith Stadium in seventh place. Coincidentally, they dropped to this new and lowlier-than-ever state while ‘Whitehill was on the mound. Earl's failure to show a record any better than six victories against eight defeats also would seem to indicate that the gyrating southpaw is slip- ping; that he no longer rates his ranking as the ace of the Washington slab staff. Yet the records fail to tell all of the story. This just doesn’t seem to be Earl's year with Lady Luck, or, at least, the old dame is conserving her smiles for Earl until an uncommonly late date. Coppola Keeps Him Company. WWHITEHILL and Henry Coppola J were the lone members of the current Griff curving corps to return home from the 24-game tour without a victory. Yet Earl deserved three victories and remains the acknowl- edged ace of a staff that has proved itself one of major league ball's ZTeeblest. He may not be the pitcher of 1933, ‘when he won 22 games and lost eight during the American League race, and then won Washington's only game in the world series with the Giants. It is quite probable that Whitehill has gone back & little since, But neither is he as ineffective as his current record indicates. Unless all signs are cock-eyed, Whitehill is in a fair way of annexing the dubious title of base balls hard luck cham- pion for 1935. This penchant for drawing frowns from Dame Fortune may date back earlier in the campaign, but, if so. in a milder manner that merely estab- lished them as run-of-the-mine “breaks” of the game. But during the tour that ended yesterday the 10tund southpaw really came into his own as a hard-luck hurler. Earl Loses Tough One. "AT THE very outset of the jaunt Whitehill dropped to a .500 rating ‘when he had the misfortune of pitch- ing against the White Sox on one of the few days®when the Griffs weren't busting the ball. Ted Lyons held the Nationals to five hits that day and & decision at the plate by Umpire Brick Owens didn't help Whitehill's cause. Earl escaped defeat in his second start, but he did not get credit for winzing, although he left the game with the Griffs ahead. This was in St. Louis and Washington held an 8-to-5 lead. When Whitehill walked two batters he was replaced by Belve ‘Bean. The latter’s first pitch was hit OME for a month of cam- paigning in their own back yard, the Nationals find their outlook a bit brighter than it ‘was 48 hours ago despite their worm's- eye view of the American League and the presence of the Yankees for & three-game series. For one thing, Manager Bucky Harris definitely is going to get Dee Miles, 22-year-old Chattanooga out- | dish. fielder. Miles is expected to arrive in the Capital Sunday morning and take over a garden job in the final game of the New York series. Secondly, this tilt also will mark the return of Buck Newsom to the slab. The big right-hander, whose right knee-cap was fractured here on May 27 by a drive off the bat of Earl Averlll, Cleveland outfielder, is ready to take 'his turn once again. Thirdly, Jake Powell is back in harness and has proved himself fit and ready to carry on his center- fielding duties in the style that has won for him ranking as one of the best first-year prospects in the big show. —— Powell's Leg Okay. POWELL returned to the team yes- terday in Philadelphia and was stuck into the game right away, al- thought Harris originally had planned to go slow with the ex-Takoma Tiger. But Jack insisted his leg was as good as new and Bucky gave him the op- portunity to prove it. Jake did. He also proved that his batting eye was undimmed by the lay- off. In the opener Powell socked three of his team’s nine hits and drove across two of Washington’s three runs. He did not get much help, except from Cecil Travis, so Whitey Wilshere won 8 6-to-3 decision. Johnny Marcum stopped the fast- tiring Jake in the nightcap but, to Jjudge by the failure of other Nationals, too, it was no disgrace. Fred Sington was to catch a noon train today for Chattancogs, where he will join Belve Bean as a member of the Lookouts. Bean balked at first, but President Clark Griffith succeeded into talking the right-hander into go- ing instead of giving up base ball for the year. Sington goes on option; Bean out- right. The pitcher has been optioned three times already by the Cleveland Club and three’s the limit. Sington’s departure paves the way for the ac- quisition of Miles.

From then on it was Belve’s game, and inasmuch as the Griffs gcored 17 runs on 21 hits that day, Bean hardly could lose. Whitehill's jinx also was present in Cleveland, where, with one inning to 80, he was leading Mel Harder, 6 to 5. Suddenly the infield developed leaks and Whitehill was nicked for three Tuns, losing an 8-to-6 decision. Hard Luck Continues. {JN DETROIT he lost in regulation innings when Buddy Myer, run- ning from first to third on a hit by Cecil Travis, stumbled and fell. Con- sequently, Buddy was unable to score from second base on Schulte’s Texas Leaguer and a double-play wiped out any scoring which would have meant the game. So the game went into extra innings, the Tigers winning in the fourteenth frame, 9 to 8. In New York Earl held a 7-to-5 Jead going into the ninth. After walking the first batsman, Whitehill was replaced by Jack Russell, who permitted two runs, tying the score. ‘The Griffs eventually won in the twelfth inning, but it was Russell’s wvictory.

Perry of Eng- land, the world leading amateur singles tennis come the first playing through cham- plon to repeat at Wimbledon. The only thing standing between the sparkling, black-haired Briton and gaining this distinction was the Ger- man court star, Baron Gottfried von Cramm., They were scheduled to face on & best three out of five sets final for the title Perry gained a year ago !N when he took ‘the measure of Jack Crawford of Australia. Betting odds were 3 to 2 that Perry would conquer Von Cramm although the Teuton had many backers, who | R are impressed not only by his per- formances in the preliminary rounds of the championship but by the form and game he displayed in contributing to Germany’s rout of Australia in the zone Davis Cup competition. Has Unusual Oppertunity. ITWn.Lbetheflmumemflyun a German has had an opportunity to capture the all-England tennis title. The last German was Otto Froitzheim, who lost in the final to the great Norman Brookes of Aus- tralia. While the tennis faithful flocked to the stadium to witness the men’s final, they did so in anticipation of the renewal of one of the bitterest rivalries in the game—the meeting between Helen Hull Jacobs and Helen Wills Moody, both from Berkeley, Calif, in the final of the women'’s division of play tomorrow. Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Moody, the - | latter six times former winner of the ‘Wimbledon crown, gained the final yesterday at the expense of Frau Hilda Krahwinkel Sperling of Ger- many and Joan Hartigan of Australia, respectively. Both scored decisive straight-set victories, Miss Jacobs bat- tering down Frau Sperling 6—3, 6—0, and Mrs. Moody accounting for the Australian girl, 6—3, 6—3.

The headers made the Yanks' the American League lead look rather shaky, as they had to work their hardest to gain an even break with the fifth-place Boston Red Sox. The rampant Detroit Tigers slammed their way to two more victories over Cleve- land and cut New York’s lead to two games. After Lefty Grove shackled them with seven hits to give Boston a 4-3 victory, the Yanks called on an- other southpaw, Vernon Gomez, who came through with brilliant four-hit flinging while the league leaders smashed out a 7-to-1 decision. Rowe Injures Shoulder. "THE Tigers had to go 11 innings to beat Cleveland, 6 to 5, in the opener after Mickey Cochrane tied it up with a homer in the ninth, but the second clash brought an easy 10-to-4 triumph. Lynwood Rowe hurt a shoulder muscle and had to retire. It was the Tigers' seventh straight victory and their fifth over the In- dians, who sank to fourth place as Chicago’s White Sox belted over the browns twice, 11 to 6 and 4 to C. Silent John Whitehead broke his six- game losing streak, but he failed to finish the opener and Les Tietje fol- lowed with a five-hit flinging job. The Athletics also were double win- ners, beating Washington, 6 to 3 and 2 to 1, to take sixth place from the Senators. In contrast to this struggle, the Giants’ National League lead stretched to nine games—the longest so far—as they trimmed the Braves twice. The Cardinals routed the Cubs to climb back into second place and drop Chi- cago to fourth. The Pirates moved up a notch to third by splitting their bargain bill with Cincinnati. Schumacher’s Streak Grows. fifth inning, but they rallied to win, 10 to 8, and went on to hammer out 8 12-to-3 decision that gave Hal Schumacher his tenth straight victory. After three hits off Charley Root in the twelfth inning gave the Cards a 5-t0-3 triumph over Chicago, they went on to win another close one, 6 to 4, for Dizzy Dean, who chalked up his twelfth hurling triumph with the aid of four Cub errors. The Pirates belted out 16 hits to take the opener, 9 to 5, but failed to survive Cincinnati’s seventh-inning at- tack in the afterpiece, and Billy Myers smashed a homer with two on to win for the Reds, 5 to 4. The Phillies rounded out a big day for the Quaker City clubs by taking two hard games from Brooklyn by the home run route. John Moore's four- teenth homer brought a 3-to-2 vic- tory in the opener and two circuit swats by George Watkins and Dolph Camilli's seventeenth figured largely in the second clash, which Philadel- phia won, 8 to 7, on a four-run rally in the tenth.
