AS A MATTER of fact, had it not been young Dee Miles' first visit to Gotham vesterday, Manush might not have had a chance to enjoy his biggest day of the seascn at bat. Preferring to give Miles his first look at New York from the bsnch. Manager Bucky Harris reinstated Manush in left field after a brief benching, and Heinie, ever a foreign- field hitter, did more damage with his bat than in any single game this year. Twice he swung his bat like the Manush of other days. and twice he planted the ball into the right field bleachers for home runs, Rccounting for five of Washington’s tallies in the p-to-3 victory over the Ruppert Rifles. Of course, Manush's uprising also might be construed in the vague diamond term of “just one of those days.” but Harris prefers to regard the reversal of form as & definite sign that Manush is emerging from the worst slump of his big-league career. Only twice in 12 years has Manush failed to finish a season with a better than 300 average, and when he wound up the 1934 campaign with a stick mark of .349 there was no indi- cation that he was slipping. But his repeated failures this season have caused even officials of the Washing- ton elub to wonder if this might be the end of Heinie as a great batter. Better Late Than Never. BA'rrING fourth during a good part of the season. Manush neverthe- less stood next to last among the reg- ulars in runs batted in. His flop at bat probably has been the chief rea- son why the Griffs have looked so bad this campaign. This belief was strengthened ves- terday. With Heinie resembling the Manush of yore, the Nationals, not the Yanks, looked the part of league leaders. They were outhit, but they put together their hits when they were most needed. Manush's output of runs driven across alone was more than he had managed to drive over the plate in his last 11 games. Best of all, the Griffs came up a winner when the odds were heaviest dgainst them. Dogged by injuries all | this season as in 1934, the Nationals kept their heads up in the face of one | of the worst-looking accidents ever seen on a ball field. Linke “Went Away.” HEY saw Linke struck squarely on the forehead by a line drive that traveled so fast from the bat of Jess Hill that the crack of the bat and the erack of the ball against Linke's dome were almost simultaneous. They saw ‘Linke drop, roll over on his back and lie still. They saw him carried from the field on a stretcher, rushed to an ambulance. then to a hospital. For- tunately, Linke was not seriously hurt, but none know it at the time. A less courageous bunch might have folded. Instead, the Griffs, then lead- ing. 2 to 0, and an inning later by only 2 to 1, ‘came back and administered the worst beating they have given the Rupperts all season. Jittery Jage Powell tripled with Myer aboard to give the Griffs a 1-t0-0 lead in the first frame and then Red Kress' walk, Bluege's single and Redmond's fly made it 2-0 an inning later. Hayes, Manush Carry On. YOUNG WHITEY HAYES, time in his life, took up the Washing- ton pitching after Linke's mjury in | Xn the second and was nicked for all of New York’s runs in the third and fourth frames. Thereafter Hayes was in complete command. Meanwhile, Manush was offering his antidote for Linke’s injurv. To open the -fourth he cracked his first homer and saw Kress single, Redmond get on base on Gehrig's error and| Hayes single to score another run. Then, in the seventh, Heinie broke the Yankees’ hearts. Redmond singled to start the big inning and Kuhel walked. Johnny Stone's contribution was a double, scoring Redmond, and Myer was pur- posely passed, filling the bases. Jimmy Deshong, who creplaced Johnny Broaca against Myer. got rid of Powell by making him ground to Rolfe, who nailed Kuhel at the plate, but the retirement only set the sage more dramatically for Manush. When Heinje hit the ball, Right Fielder George Selkirk did not even bother to turn around. Nor did the Yanks bother to fight much for their league leadership, either. The fight was taken out of ‘em. —_— 16 NINES IN TOURNEY.

LOUIS, July 27—It's true| S the St. Louls Browns “ain’t| goin’ nowhere,” but they seem to have settled down to the role of making life miserable for those | who do want to go places. In fact, it's getting so that the boys | in the American League are afraid | of a beating every time they go down in the cellar and play with those awful Browns. | Take the Yankees, for instance. The Browns misbehaved so in Man- hattan that they actually beat the| Yanks three games out of four and put them in a position where they | could be shoved out of first place by | | the Tigers. | | " Not content with that bit of de- structiveness, the Browns went over to Boston, where the Red Sox, in | fourth place, were looking forward to | a slice of world series money.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, July 27.—Discovery, the boss horse of the Amer- jcan handicap division, was after his sixth victory in as many weeks today in the $10,000 add- Eill ¥ ed Arlington handicap and the betting was 1 to 2 that he would achieve it. Even the fact that Alfred G. Van- derbilt'’s big ton of Display had to carry the crushing weight of 135 pounds a mile and a quarter failed to dim the enthusiasm of his supporters. He was called upon to give away from 12 tn 39 pounds to others in the field. but there was little backing for any of the latter. Stand Pat Second Pick. STAND PAT, E. F. Seagram’s Cana- dian champion, was the second choice overnight at 5 to 1. Riskulus, Norman W. Church’s California star, was held at 8 to 1. Riskulus was sec- ond in the weight list at 116 pounds, an edge of 19 points on Discovery. | The Calumet Farm’s Skip It. paired as an entry with Calumet Dick, was in with the lightest impost, a mere 96 = pounds.

EW YORK, July 27.—Under ob- | servation in Roosevelt Hos- | pital here, Ed Linke will be back pitching for the Nation- als within a week, it was predicted by Washington club officials today after the youthful hurler was described as resting comfortably. | Struck on the head yesterday by & |dine drive of almost unbelievable ve- | locity, Linke is reported ic be suffer- | Ing only a mild concussicn.

The chance chat Linke might | prove “gun shy” in future appear- | ances 1s not impossible. Nor could the hurler be blamed after what must have been the most harrowing experience in his career. Linke's waist-high pitch to Jess Hill in the second inning was shot back at him so fast that he had no time to even deflect it. From the stands it looked as though the ball had torn through his hands, but later it was disclosed by Linke and his fel- | Jow players that the ball was com- | pletely unchecked as it roared at Ed's | temple and struck with an appalling crack clearly heard throughout the vast Yankee Stadium. Linke dropped as though shot. flat on his back and face to the sky while the ball rebounded in a manner to bring about a double-play probably unprecedented in base ball annals The ball. fully 30 feet in the air at | one point. sailed on a fiy between {home plate and third base and | actually was over the foul line several feet. N THE face of this possible tragedy, the Nationals first attended to the diamond situation. Catcher Jack Red- mond raced for the ball, caught it while it still was in the air and whipped it to Red Kress at second base to double up Ben Chapman and retire the side. ending a promising Yankee rally. Then all hands rushed to Linke. who rolled over once but fell back into a state of unconsciousness. Faces pale with fear, half a dozen of the Griffs carried Linke to the | Washington dugout, where ice packs | immediately were applied to a bump which was raised to the size of a regulation base ball.
