fi Brace at First Base Seen Nats’ Need : Cards’ Streak Ends, But Tigers Gui Remorenko, at Chatfa- BY FRANCIS E. STAN. EBUILDING plans for the 1936 Washington ball club but from an unexpected source is be- ginning to rise a vague sense of doubt in the mind of President Clark fessed to dubiousness on his first base situation. All he had said when the quiet rebuilding campaign was & definite chance are all we need to uncover for next year.” But now it is likely that both Griff gazellelike first sacker.

LOOKED to establish himself in the top flight of base ball's first base men this season, Joey, on the con- trary, is struggling harder than at any time since he inherited Joe Judge's job back in 1931 Just turned 30 last month, Joe’s peak year was predicted for him as the American League campaign opened. A bud- ding star in the ‘pennant-winning season of 1933, Joe was forced to retire in June Joe Kuhel of last year when he broke an ankle. But in spite of the lay-off he was regarded as capa- ble of carrying on from his big year in 1933, when he hit .322 and tied | Charley Grimm of the Cubs for the major league fielding mark with .996. Instead, Joe has been a disappoint- ment to date. He has been a dis- appointment but not a hopeless case by any means. Harris is suspending judgment on him but how long the pilot will do this, at Kuhel's present | Stone. Wash'ngto! pace, is problematical even in the face | of Bucky's innate patience.

His batting mark | of 267 tops that of only one other | regular—Bluege, whose misfortune it was to get off to an extremely dolorous | start. Only Bluege and Heinie Manush stand below Kuhel in runs- batted-in. The $65,000 purchase of five years ago was off to only a fair start, but this was taken lightly. After all, he had laid off for 10 months nursing | his bad ankle back to normalcy. But, | instead of improving, Joe has been falling deeper into his slump and the season now is past the half-way mark. 1 In the last three weeks, a stretch embracing 17 games, Kuhel has trundled to the plate 69 times and made only 13 hits for an average of .188. This is indeed cause for mild alarm on the part of Washington's front office. | The Kuhel of this season has not even resembled the promising young man of two years ago. He falls short | of fitting perfectly into Griffith’s and | Harris’ conception of next year's club. Griff, Bucky Still Hope. OPE is steadfastly held out, how- | ever. Joe is—or should be—a | better ball player than he has shown. | He still has his old-time agility and | Temains one of the speediest men on the club. His final record for 1935 may not closely resemble his current | and disappointing mark. But in the meantime it is not! beyond the realm of possibility that ! Griffith and Harris are doing some | thinking about first base, although | what they could do about it even if| they elected to take steps is food for thought. Griff’s only minor league first base hope is Ed Remorenko of Chattanooga and this youngster, just out of college, does not figure to be ready for a real bid for a couple of seasons. There is talk of Cecil Travis being moved over to first base if Chat- tanooga’s Buddy Lewis continues to blossom. But this rumor has been pooh-poohed by Griff and Harris. Besides, there is no guarantee that ‘Travis is capable of handling first base in big-league style. The easiest way out is up to Kuhel. | Nobody would be more pleased to have 193%s Kuhel on the job next year than Griff. Chisox Beat Young Hayes. YOUNG ‘Whitey Hayes has tasted de- " feat for the first time in the majors, but Hayes did not lose a great deal of ground in Harris’ esti- mation when he bowed to the White Sox yesterday in the second game of the current series, 7 to 2. Hayes was opposed by plenty of pitcher yesterday in Vernon Kennedy, who stopped the vaunted Washington batting attack with a five-hit brand of pitching. Kennedy had a sinker working that consistently foiled all the Nationals except Clif Bolton, who snapped out of a brief batting slump by singling, doubling and tripling. The heat did not help Hayes. A naturally thin youngster, who con- sumes far more than ordinary energy in’ pitching, Whitey fell just short of hurling a good game. Only in his ast inning, the seventh, did he permit more than one hit per inning. These safeties, as well as four bases on balls, were capitalized upon to the utmost by the Chisox, who took a lead in the | Medwick, 8t Loul | relief hurler except when Sport List Today For Local Fans TOMOEROW, Base Rall.

L e EDHEK, VOSHK NG BATS WL Threaten Leaders in Big Leagues—Collins, Cards, Makes Heavy Gain. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, July 20.—While the two hitting leaders of the major leagues continued to slump during the past week, some of their leading rivals put on lively performances with the wil- | low to make the batting races look a lot more interesting. Joe Medwick offered Arky Vaughan the first real threat since he took the National League lead early in the season when he brought his average up seven points to .368, while Vaughan dropped seven to .384. Joe Vosmik reduced Bob Johnson’s Amer- ican League margin to a mere three points, .348 to .345 as he added five | points to his mark, while Johnson dropped four. Jim Collins of the Cardinals, hit- ting 17 times in 32 attempts, jumped from 10th place in the National to tie | Billy Terry for third as he picked up 22 points. Two Philadelphians, Doc Cramer and Jimmie Foxx, came up from the bottom of the American League's “first 10” to take third and fourth places, gaining 15 and 10 points re- spectively.

EMOTED earlier in the week from a starting pitcher to a double-headers pile up, Bump Hadley today was to get a chance to regain the good graces of Manager Bucky Harris as the Nationals opposed the White Sox in a twin bill at Grif- fith Stadium. Hadley and Earl Whitehill were to share the slab assignment for Wash- ington, probal.y facing Carl Fischer and Sad Sam Jones, a pair of ex- Nationals. The opener is slated for 1:30 pm. Undaunted by yesterday's defeat, which squared the current Sox series, Harris is hopetul of grabbing this set from the third-place Chicagos. Al- though a touge club for a southpaw to whip, the Sox may have no easy time with Whitehill to judge by the vet- eran’s recent performances. And if Hadley kicks in with a good effort it may be totigh’all around for Jimmy Dykes crew. Tony Piet, who took Jackie Hayes' second base job away from him, is proving himsen considerable of a de- fensive nuisance to the Griffs. Tony nandlec nine chances fault- lessly yesterday. and threw out all three of Wasbington’s batters in the sixth.

Tilden Hits Picking Allison Over Wood for Cup Singles; Thinks Advance Pact Existed BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN. ONDON, July 20 (By Wireless) — The goddess of luck, through the order of the draw and the surprising singles selection of the United States team, strengthens the chances of Germany to win the interzone final Davis Cup competi- tion, which started today and con- tinues Monday and Tuesday, and thus earn the right to challenge England for the famous trophy. The United States, which was a strong favorite a few weeks ago, now is little better than even in the betting. The make-up of the United States team, as announced by Capt. Joseph W. Wear, seems to be another ex- ample of selection from 3,000 miles away, rather than a last-minute choice on the fleld. Wilmer Alliscn is called upon to play in both the singles and the doubles, while Sidney B. Wood. jr., is relegated to the side- lines.

Cer- tainly, on his play here, Wood should take precedence. There can be no question that Don- ald Budge, by his Winbledon play and his present form in practice, is a wise choice for the singles, but, if that is 50, why is not Wood, who carried Jack Crawford to five sets in the last eight at Winbledon, given preference over Allison, who was beaten by Viv- ian McGrath in the first round of the championship?

YORK, July 20.—One chunky young lady from Homestead, Pa., 22-year-old Lenore Kight, stood out to- day as the surest bet Uncle Sam has for the women’s distance swim- ming events in the 1936 Olympics. Title holders have been failing in the national championships in the big outdoor pool at Manhattan Beach, and titles have been claimed on none too impressive performances. But Miss Kight, short, powerful, serious, seems certain to duplicate her sen- sational performance of 1934, when she won three free-style distance titles. Already Miss Kight has won the mile and the 440-yard free style, breaking her own previous records in both, averaging one new record for each day of the meet so far. She clipped about 13 seconds off the mile mark, and yesterday, featuring the second day of the championships, came from behind to set a new Amer- ican standard of 5 minutes 325 seconds for the quarter, 1.1 seconds better than her old record. Two champions fell by the wayside yesterday as the first of four sister :eum in the competition came to the ore. In-between Miss Kight's storming! from behind to beat Mary Lou Petty| of Seattle by 20 yards in the stretch of the 440 Katherine Rawls, Miami Beach’s all-around champion, disposed of Anne Govednik of Chisholm, Minn., in the 220-yard breaststroke cham- pionship.

ONDON, July 20.—The crowds that hied to Wimbledon today for the opening of the Davis Cup interzone matches between | Germany and the United States speculated on Wilmer Allison’s chances of stopping the German, Baron Gottfried Von Cramm. Donald Budge of the flaming hair and burning service was expected to cefeat Heiner Henkel, the young German, in their match and the con- census was that Von Cramm, consid- ered second only to Fred Perry in the world's amateur tennis lists, would defeat Allison in the first-day matches. There were some, however, who be- lieved that Allison, an old campaigner, would rise to the heights against the titled Teuton and possibly defeat him. Allison is in the pink of condition and he has trained arduously for the encounter. - The Américan team i= favored tc defeat the Germans and go into the challenge round against Great Brit- ain next week-end. Even if Von Cramm succeeded in winning both his singles matches, Henkel was fig- ured to lost both his and the dope favored the American doubles team of Allison and John Van Ryn against Von Cramm and K. Lund. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR VWHAT is believed to be & major league record was set by Washington yesterday when the Nats stole eight bases in the first inning of the game with Cleve- land, which they won, 11-4, for their sixth straight victory. Moeller stole second, third and home; Milan, second and third; Ainsmith, second and home, and McBride, second. Nick Altrock broke into his first game of the season, the Indians scoring all of their runs off him in the last three innings. “Home Run” Baker, now in the minors, refused an offer to play with the St. Louis Federals.

HERE are a lot of indications that the second division clubs may say the last word about the National League pennant race this season, and one of them— Brooklyn—has just spoken in rather decisive tones. The Dodgers, battling to hold fifth place, which they regained a few days ago by trimming Pittsburgh four games running, stepped out yesterday and shattered the Cardinals’ winning streak, which was promising to carry Prankie Prisch's boys right up to the top. The Cards’' 14 successive victo- ries, the best string of the season, didn't worry the Dodgers a bit, as Johnny Babich set the Cardinal clout- ers down with five hits, while his teammates batted out a 3-to-0 victory. Cards Slip Afield. 'HE Cardinals had a thorough let- down in addition to their weak hitting. They made two costly errors to let one run score and Bill Walker let the Dodgers bunch their blows for the other two. The Cards didn't suffer seriously, however, as the Giants also were beaten, 9-3, by the Cubs, and kept their lead at four games. Lon Warneke, who had been drubbed regu- larly by the league leaders, resumed last season’s habit of beating them when he outpitched Hal Schumacher for seven innings end put Chicago ahead by batting in two runs and scor- ing one. Then when Frank Gabler replaced Schumacher in the eighth the Cub: batted clear around to score six run The only Giants’ consolation was M:! Ott’s twenty-first homer of the seasor: The Braves, hopelessly mired in the cellar, went down before the Pirates 6 to 5, when Arky Vaughan's ba! touched off a 3-run rally in the lac inning. Ben Cantwell, victim of tie outburst, suffered his fourteenth c’1- secutive pitching loss. Tigers Still Climb. TBE Tigers, preparing to invade New York for a “crucial” series ne week, slashed the Yankees’ America League lead to a half game in prepa ration for the big event as they re ceived more important aid from th humbie Browns. For their own par the Tigers smacked down the Rec Sox, 9 to 7, breaking a tie with ¢ five-run outburst in the sixth, the' barely lasting to the end as School- boy Rowe was called upon to retir the last man in the ninth with th bases full. St. Louis upset the Yankees for tI second time, 7 to 6, piling up a bi early lead off Lefty Gomez, losing i to a five-run rally in the fifth, whe: Lou Gehrig socked his fifteent homer, and finally scoring the win ning run on Jimmy Deshong's wil pitch in the eighth.
