Harrismen Down Yanks, 8-3, Toss Away Nightcap in 11 Innings, 7-10. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. HAT Uncle Clark Griffith needs, it would appear, are more bridegrooms on his Washington ball club—and more brides sitting in box seats watch- ing hubbies play ball. A brand-new benedict, Catcher Sam Holbrook, slapped a screaming double with the bases filled yesterday at Uncle Clark’s Florida avenue orchard. Inasmuch as the Yankees were leading | at the time, 3-to-1, it was a pretty good present for Sammy to give his bride of a few hours. The 8,000 cus- tomers thought so, too, because it brought a smashing 8-to-3 victory over the league leaders. But just when the trade in the pews began to wonder which team was the first-place club and which the sevengh-place outfit, a couple of bachelor boys, Ed Linke and Bobby Burke, dispelled all doubts by kicking | away the second game of a double- header, 10 to 7, in 11 innings. Same Old Habit. UT for Linke and Burke the Griffs might well have set up a season record by winning both ends of a twin bill, something they have not gone in for this campaign. But, after making fabricators of the writing boys for more than four hours, the home- coming Nationals reverted to a dis- tressing habit they picked up in the West and kicked a chance to climb out of seventh place down the well- known sink. They were pretty sights to watch in the opener. After a dolorous start chunky Bump Hadley began doing all the things Washington pitchers have done in a month. He pitched himself a swell mess of base ball and, thanks to Bridegroom Holbrook, the Nationals waged a gallant uphill fight to win out. They waged the same kind of ,,5 fight in the sundown scrap, too, and | should have won out twice. Unfor- tunately, however, neither Mr. Linke nor Mr. Burke had what it takes. Bump Great After First Frame. | AT THE very outset of hostilities | Hadley resembled an overstuffed | lamb about to be led to the slaughter. | Gleefully the Yanks hopped upon the balls Bump was able to get over the| plate and when the first inning was| ended the Gothamites had three hits, | three bases or: balls and three runs. | Vito Tamulis. one of base ball’s two Lithuanians and a southpaw to boot, was chucking for the New Yorkers, and for three innings he set down: the Griffs in order. But Hadley was doing the same thing to the Yanks. In fact, he didn’t permit a man to reach first base from the second to the seventh, snd after that his bril- | liant fielding mates took care of the situation. | Then in the fourth frame the Griffs staged their fireworks. Bluege poked | one of Tamulis pitches to left field | for a single ana Jake Powell fullowedi suit. Buddy Myer flied out but| Heinie Manush skidded a grounder | past Crosetti t> score Bluege. | Then, after Travis had flied out, Fred Schulte walked to fill the bases and set the stage for Holbrook. Kuhel Hits First Homer. 'HE 22-year-old rookie catcher, | !% whose work in the last month | Just about has established him as the| Nationals' besc catcher, picked out & fast ball and whammed it on a line to the center field barrier. If the ball were not so well hit it would have been a home run. As it was it zinged on a dead lire and rebounded with} such force that Powell, Manush and| Schulte scored to put the Griffs| ahead, 4 to 3 That was all the Washingtons, needed, though nobody suspected it at the time. Even Hadley's own teammates were fooled, because in the eighth inning Joe Kuhel stepped | to the dish with the bases loaded and belted the ball over the fence for his first homer, winning himself a quadruple-wear suit and making the final score read 8 to 3. Powell Hits in Pinch. 'HERE was nothing similar to Had- i Jey’s six-hit pitching in the night- cap except Johnny Murphy’s work in the first five innings. Johnny limited | the Griff's to one hit, a looper by| Buddy Myer, and faced only 16 bat- | ters. Meanwhile Lefty Leon Pettit was| throwing for the Nationals and not: doing a bad job. He was very much | in the game after the sixth, in which | the Griffs, aided by a walk and Red‘ Rolfe’s wild throw, managed to.score | & run end reduce the Yanks' lead to| 2 to 1. Even though the Yanks came back to make it 4 to 1 in the next inning, the Griffs weren’t whipped. Myer, (Continued on Page B-9, Column 2.)

Already in a desperate plight for pitchers, the Nationals’ man- ager learned yesterday that he must get along for the next 10 days or so without either Jack Russell or Henry Coppola. Russell, whose right hand was struck by a pitched ball in batting practice earlier in the week in Boston, sub- mitted to an X-ray upon his arrival here and learned that a knuck'e bone had been chipped. Coppola, who has been complaining of a sore arm for the last menth, to- day will undergo a tonsilectomy at the Episcopal Hospital. Ordered by Harris to warm up for relief duty in the second game of the Yankee double-header yesterday, Cop- pola again complained of a soreness in his arm and Bucky decided that be wrong with He was examined by the club physi- cian, who discovered faulty tonsils and recommended an immediate operation. Bucky Fears for Newsom. Wrrfl Russell and Coppola out, the Washington mound staff will number only seven men, counf ting 8 | Buck Newsom and Red Kress, neither of who is ready for any heavy duty, according to Harris. Although Newsom is to return to the game today and start the final tilt of the Yankee series, Harris fears the worst. “The big fellow will try hard,” de- clared the Griffs’ boss, “but I don't see how he can be expected to do & whole lot of pitching yet. Unless he is & physical marvel, he won't be strong enough Six weeks on the sidelines, especially when a man has & broken knee-cap, takes a lot out of s & person, even a high-trained athlete. “He may focl me. Gosh, I hope so. But, honestly, I'm fearful as the devil.” “At that.” Bucky concluded, philo- sophically, “he can’t be any worse than some of my pitchers, no matter how weak he may be.” Hayes Not to Report Today. ARRIS is not even going to get Millard Hayes, the youthful Chattanooga hurler. Hayes was to report today with Outfielder Dee Miles, but yesterday afternoon Presi- dent QGriffith received a wire from Joe Engel, Chattancoga prexy, stat- ing that inasmuch as Belve Bean, the service in five or six days, however, and then Hayes will be shipped he Miles, however, will be in Wi ton uniform today and right field, according to G ] i) gEgks ’IYJDAY'S tiit with the Yanks will be the last until the middle of the SPORTS SECTION The Sunday Star 1DJ b — DODGERS REPEAT Secretary of War George H.

ERLIN, July 6—Important Nazi officials canceled other B engagements today in order that tomorrow’s heavyweight fight between Max Schmelling and Paulino Uzcudun may be the center of national interest. Schmeling rules a 5-to-1 favorite. He appeared tonight to be in top form. Max is confident he’ll spoil Paulino’s claim of never having been knocked off his feet in the ring. Respecting many reports that Schmeling is under contract to fight Max Baer at Amsterdam next month, the German heavyweight said today that nothing will be settled until the arrival early tomorrow of Joe Jacobs, his American manager. Max indicated he is looking to America to furnish his next opponent, whether it be James J. Braddock, the heavyweight champion, or Joe Louis, the Negro seunsation. —_— SETS RECORD, LOSES.

But, at match point, Miss Jacobs seemed unable to lift her rasquet high enough for the decisive stroke and hit futilely instead into the net. Later, with the count at 5—5, Miss Jacobs needed only one point to break Mrs. Moody's service and gain what might have been & decisive 6—5 lead, but once more she drove into the net. She never had another chance, as Mrs. Moody poured terrific drives into the back corners. The entire picture of the match in retrospect was of Mrs. Moody hitting out bravely, clipping the sidelines and controlling play throughout. On the other side of the net Miss Jacobs shuttled endlessly across the baseline, getting her racquet on what seemed to be impossible drives, never conceding & point until she had given every ounce of effort she could muster. In winning the second set, Miss Jacobs proved that Mrs. Moody was vulnerable when forced to the net. The older star on these occasions lacked a finishing smash and easily ‘was passed.

BUT once Mrs. Moody got her drives clipping the lines in the final set, Miss Jacobs was too busy just chop- ping them back to attempt any strategy. The number of placements scored as the match progressed told a graphic story of the trend of play. In the first two sets when Miss Jacobs was fresh, Mrs. Moody scored only nine place- ments in all. But in the third set when Miss Jacobs was dead on her feet, she sent 15 past her. ‘The women’s final, of course, com- pletely overshadowed all other devel- 4
