YOUNG GRIFF STAR BY FRANCIS E. STAN. Travis today looked forward with When, with mixed feelings of an- those most to be envied. vis finds the future adventuresome, Within the next 10 days or two | Lewis Arrival Starts Move. “WITH the arrival of 19-year-old Buddy Lewis, third baseman from Chattanooga, Travis will move from third, temporarily. Presumably | it was believed that Manager Bucky Harris would straightforth switch him to the outfield, but the National pilot, | en route home this morning, strongly | intimated that Travis might be tried at one of two other infield posts— shortstop and first base. ‘Wherever or whenever he is switched Travis will be found in complete ac- cord. While in late months he has been widely heralded as the most im- | proved third baseman in the Amer-| jcan League and has come to like the | post, Travis also finds himself looking | forward with some eagerness to try-| ing the outfield and willing to do his| darndest at shortstop or anywhere else. Harris, dead sold on the Kid as one | of base ball’s future great hitters and the coming spearhead of the Griffs’| attack, will have him in the line-up | somewhere, depending entirely upon | young Lewis' form and the play of | one or two others. Bucky is expected to decide upon experiment No. 1 in the next few days and then promptly drill Travis for | four or five days at the new post. Outfield May Help Hitting. THE reticent Georgia youth, whom pitchers all over the league call| one of the toughest batters to figure, believes a switch to the outfield will help his batting. “After I get used to playing out there,” declared Travis, “I expect it/ will be lot easier than third base, | where you've got to start and stop with every play. Fellows who have played both the infield and outfield say it's easier in the long run.” As for shortstop, Travis welcomes | the extra bounce or two that this| player gets and the third sacker| doesn’t. Only Cecil isn't sure he can wind up what remains of this season as an accomplished relay man, which | is a natural enough doubt. | “I used to play shortstop at high | #chool and on a sandlot team,” volun- K teered the youngster. “I even broke in with Chattanooga as a shortstop, but they shifted me to third right away, and I've stayed there ever since.” Travis has no experience whatsoever at first base. Kress Regains All Except Speed. IP LEWIS should.pan out as a third baseman and Travis should make good at shortstop, one of base ball’s little tragedies probably would center around Red Kress, Boston Labor day hero, who currently is playing shortstop | for the Nationals. Since being released fie and rehired the same day by the |Danl Griffs late in July, Kress has been | playing as good a brand of ball as any shortstop in the league. His play afield has sparkled, and his big bat has been a welcome addition’ to the Griffian attack. From a .140 batter in part-time roles, Red jumped to within a few points of .300 and seems a sure shot to wind up the cam- paign in the select circle. In short, Red has regained every- thing he used to have when he starred for the Browns several years except | e one greatly needed asset—speed. Sev- eral seasons of moving from one posi- | ¢ tion to another and sitting on the | bench have helped to take the toll. Kress now is one of the slowest runners on the squad, excluding the pitchers. First Base Switch Least Likely, IP‘ TRAVIS should be sent to the outfleld and make good there, it W, would fit in perfectly with plans ef | Mii the Washington board of strategy, | Bione which undoubtedly is contemplating an almost wholesale auction of the Na- tional outfielders. First base is the least likely position at which Travis may be tested. Al- W though Joe Kuhel has been a disap- pointment at bat this season, the lithe first sacker still ranks high as a fielder, and it requires a rare combination of naturalness and experience to make a good first baseman. At any rate, when Lewis reports in & | <y gr ‘week or 30, you can look for Travis at some other position shortly after- ward—and probably doing a good job e of it 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR DARTMOUTH‘S foot ball team was called out for the season’s first drill yesterday, 26 men report- ing to Coach Cavanaugh.

C, Nationals, Home for Wind-Up, LL traveling ended until the very close of the campaign, the Nationals today returned from Boston all even in the Labor day double-header and looking forward to giving the Browns a dose of the same medicine tomorrow that they—the Nationals—were forced to swallow last week in St. Louis. - First of the six rival clubs to in- vade Griffith Stadium during the Na- tionals’ 28-game stand, Rogers Horns- by’s improved Browns will open a four- game series tomorrow. Following the Browns will be the Tigers for four games, the Indians for five tilts, the White Sox for four battles, the Athletics for tue same number (in iwo days) and the Yankees for two scraps. Today was an off one in the sched- ule, and welcomed, too, by the Griffs, who have just played three successive extra-inning games, or 38 innings, in the last two days. Probably never again in the average lifetime will 25,000 Boston fans see more or better base ball than that which marked the Griffs’ farewell to the Red Sox yesterday in the Labor day double-header. The Sox took the opener, 9 to 8, in 11 innings when Jack Wilson, a rookie pitcher, broke up the game with one of the longest home runs on record in Boston. Behind the courageous pitching of Earl Whitehill, the Griffs grabbed the nightcap, 3 to 2, in 13 innings. But while the great fielding exhibi- tions by Bill Werber, Red Kress, Cecil Travis and Oscar Melillo may live a long time in the memories of yester- day's spectators, so will the umpir- ing—but for the opposite reason. UNLESS something is done about the officlating before next sea- son, umpiring in the American League will be nothing more than a joke. This is not a personal opinion, but that of ball players on every club in the league, as well as club officials. All season long there has been con- stant trouble and the condition ap- pears to be growing more serious. Only by the narrowest of mafgins was a possible riot averted in yes- terday’s tussles. To start off the day, Umpire Charlie Donnelly, who enjoys universal rating among ball players as the worst um- pire to officiate in the circuit during their varying careers, chased Manager Bucky Harris. The thumbing of Bucky for caustic remarks, free from blasphemy, put Harris in the lead for the most fre- quently chased championship, the pilot holding a slight edge over Buddy Myer and “One-inning” Whitehill. Harris called Donnelly a “homer” for first calling Powell safe on a steal of second in the initial frame and then waving him out. Shortly afterward Donnelly fool- ishly called Ed Linke safe at second after he'd been forced with plenty to spare and Joe Cronin dropped the ball only after drawing back for the double-play throw to first base. Don- - Wrathy About Poor Umpiring . That Marred Boston Twin Bill nelly reversed the decision after nods from the other members of the three blind mice, Jack Quinn and Bill Dineen. In the big Boston eighth and the Washington ninth the umpiring sit- uation became downright serious. With Cooke on second base, Werber rapped to Travis, who feinted Cooke back and threw high to Kuhel, who jumped, caught the ball and landed cleanly on the bag, while Werber still was two full strides away. Dineen, from a remote position back of second base, called him safe. It set off the Boston rally an fanned the flame of the Griffs’ re- sentment against all umpires, 'HEN, in the Washington ninth, Jake Powell beat out & hit to Cronin and again Dineen gave the out signal. Whereupon Powell charged the ump, fight in his eyes. Alan Strange, coaching at first base, fought Powell off, but when he neared home plate on the journey to the dugout Jake and Umpire Quinn began to argue and fisticuffs seemed imminent | until Acting Manager Buddy Myer burst out of the dugout, shoved Powell and one or two other enraged mates |in the chest and cleared the field single-handed. Myer was named manager by Harris when Bucky was chased at the start of the first game. Bill Starr, the rookie catcher, looks better every day he's far and away the best thrower of the receiving corps . . . Werber, league-leading base stealer, made two attempts at crucial moments to steal second and was nipped by the proverbial mile each time by perfect throws . .. so was Roy Johnson, another good runner. | Between them, Starr and Kress were | robbed of five hits in the nightcap | |. . . but in the big thirteenth both | came .through . . . with Kress dra- matically breaking up the ball game | with a sizzling single scoring Myer . . .

NE of the hardest fought scholastic foot ball series in years was being predicted to- day by high school fans as four squads swung into intensive training grinds which must have the youths in condition by the time school opens on September 23.

Until the return of Lynn Wood- worth from France, Phil Fox, Wilson 'Teachers' College physical education student, will take over the Rough Riders. Roosevelt finds itself in a favorable position, with the sports sit- uation improving every year. For the first time in a decade, the Rough Riders will have a chance to leave the scholastic cellar. Central's husky byt inexperienced squad will be the dark horse of the title tilts.

George Shorb, Washington entrant, finished far back in the field. —_— BANQUETS N. R. A. TEAM. The champlonship N. R.
