SPORTS. THE . EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1935. SPOR TS. ar A—15 Rooks Give Harris Complicated Task : Hurlers’ Steadiness Puts Cubs Ahead 700 MANY cLouT | FROM PORTSIDE Others Also Seek Same Job and Question of Making Shifts Adds Worry. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. T MUST be great to be a big- league manager. The pay is good and a fellow just sits on the bench outta the shade and writes a line-up every day. Sometimes he must pick out a pinch-hitter or wave & new pitcher into the box, but what's that? ‘When his team goes bad all he must do is tell the club owner that Joe Dgokes is terrible and he needs a new outfielder. Presto, the C. O. buys him one. When the team wins the pen- nant the fans chip in and buy the manager a new automobile or some similar token. When . . . whoa, Mr. Harris, we wuz only kidding. Deca’t throw that bat, pliz! As a matter of fact, if Bucky did choose to throw bats, he hardly could be blamed because this is a bad time to kid him. Here it is September and his troubles should be over because the Nationals are going to finish in the second division, anyway. But they aren't over. Page Mother Goose. VEN what should be the pleasanter part of a base ball season has its “perplexities, as Bucky discovered today when he counted new Southem drawls in the club house. Bucky's like the s0ld woman in the shoe; he’s got so roany kids he doesn't know what to do. And all the time he probably thought Mother Goose was in her dotage. You see, this is supposed to be the preview of the 1936 Nationals, buv_, it looks as though the 13 remaining games won't be enough to give Bucky an inkling of what to expect from certain young fellows next year so that he may dispose of certain old fellows this year. For instance, Roberto Estallella, the sawedoff Cuban shotgun, hasn't played ,enough at third base for Bucky to pass on. Then yesterday Buddy Lewis, another third baseman, arrived from Chattanooga, but not in good shape. He is 10 pounds underweight. A test now naturally wouldn’t do justice to either of the kids, or to Harris, Infield Problem Is Deep. OT only that, but if Bucky were satisfied to gamble on the highly touted Lewis as next year’s third base- man, it would make the Griffs more Jeft-handed topheavy at bat than ever. Buddy, like Travis, Bolton, Miles and, seemingly, 9 of 10 Southern products, bats left-handed. Estallella, on the other hand, is right-handed. ©Of course, the happy medium would be to work both in the line-up, but here more difficulties arise. Esty can’t play anywhere except third base, if there. And if Bucky were in hopes of converting Lewlis into a short- #top, for instance, he couldn't do so this season. Furthermore, much as he'd like to dig up a young short- stop, Harris also would like to see more of Red Cress, the veteran whose amazing comeback is tained by slow- mess afoot. If Red picks up a little more speed he can play next year. The plot grows thicker as Bucky s on to Johnny Mihalic, another | arrival from 'Nooga yesterday. He's a second baseman and a good one, but it so happens that so is Buddy Myer. Mihalic won't even get a chance on second because Myer is battling for the American League champion- &hip. ‘Marion Due to Idle. ’I‘RY!NG Mihalic on shortstop also 14 came to Bucky's mind—and passed on. Johnny’s never tried it and furthermore his throwing ability for such a distance is questionable. So, wmuch as Bucky would like to see Mihalic, who was a player of the Myer type in the Southern Associa- “tion, he probably won't—except in morning “school.” Next there’s the outfield crop, which today numbers seven, counting Red Marion of Chattanooga. The rangy rookie broke into the game yesterday ‘when Cecil Travis bruised himself by running into the left-field boxes. Al- though he made an error and went hitless against Sam Jones, like a lot of others, Red is supposed to be a prospect. But Harris won't be able to prove It this year. After all, he's got Dee Miles and Travis to play in the out- | fleld and they get first crack on peniority and past performances. It would be nice to get more peeks at Bill Starr, especially at bat, but that, too, is hard to work out. So ‘well is Clif Bolton catching and polish- ing off ris rough edges that Starr will 4dle, along with Sam Holbrodk, who is covered with rust. All in all, it's quite a problem in these three departments without even -goming to future pitching chances for such material as Orlin Rogers, Henry _Coppola and Frank Petticolas. - Incidentally, the Griffs lost again Yesterday to the White Sox, 9 to 1. Sam Jones, a fugitive from Washing- ton, held our side to four hits. ’ O0XON HILL SPLITS EVEN.

ANSAS CITY, September 17.— It was with a rather divided mind that Carl Hubbell, ace pitcher of the New York Giants' staff, chatted with newsmen here en route by air to Oklahoma City, where an 8'4-pound boy was born to Mrs. Hubbell yesterday. “Your first ¢hild?” he was asked. “Yes,” he answered, “and if we can just win two out of those three remaining games with the Chicago Cubs we ought to be able to get back at the top of the National League.” "“Do you want your boy to be a base ball player, too?” “Well, I haven’t thought much about that, but I think we can win the pennant if we can just win two of those games,” was the an- swer. Hubbell will return to Chicago by air tomorrow to rejoin his team. Mat Matches By the Associated Press. CHICAGO.—Danno O'Mahoney, 220, Ireland, defeated Joe Savoldi, 200, Three Oaks, Mich.; one fall.

NEW PARS INMET. {13 of 27 Griffs From Sauth, Kress Being Lone Westerner; PLAY FORMIDABLE Latona and Lynch, Mather and Willis Should Pep Playground Event. ‘WO newly formed, but poten- tially powerful, doubles teams were to take the Potomac Pa: courts at 5 o'clock this afte: noon in the start of the drive for the District Pla; d Department’s dou- bles championship. No matches in the singles, which find nearly all the entrants in the fourth round, were scheduled for today. Tony Latona and Hugh Lynch have not done at all badly by themselves in uniting to form a doubles combina- tion, if past performances are borne out. Latona, flery and dashing in his court play, may have found just the right partner he needs to carry him to greater things in team play, for Lynch, while not lacking the fighting instinct required of champions, goes about his work in a cool, methodical manner. They get their first test against Kent Boyle and Bob Smith. The other two playing together for the first time are “Red” Mather and Ricky Willis. The former, literally unknown in local net circles until he upset Ralph McElvenny a month ago, entered the tournament without a partner, but seems to have picked up a good one in the Columbia Country Club star. Tom Frydell, Columbia’s pro, credits Willis with having the best backhand in the Middle Atlantic section, and he and the young N. R A. lawyer may go further than is first thought. Dewitt Bennett and Austin Rice will provide their first opposition. WH!:N Ralph McElvenny was forced | to default in the singles tour-} nament yesterday, it made the path | of Dooley Mitchell to a meeting with | Barney Welsh easier. McElvenny al- ready held one decision over Mitchell this year, but Dooley now is in the fourth round, with no threat looming quite as serious as Welsh’s doubles partner. He defeated an old rival, Beane Judd, 6—2, 6—2, yesterday. By eliminating Ben Jaffee and Don Garber, Welsh also advanced to the fourth bracket. Only Hugh Lynch is as far along as the two ranking fa- vorites. Ricky Willis had taken one set from Raphael Sherfy when dark- | ness halted the second at 5—5. Kent | Boyle and Alan Staubly had divided two sets when forced to quit. 3p0r£light (Continued From Fourteenth Page) how you ever figured a fighter with 15 months’ professional experience could ever figure on beating a fellow like Baer, in shape to go somewhere.” “lsn't Louis a better boxer than Baer—much faster than Baer—a bet- ter- two-hand puncher than Baer— in better shape than Baer could hope to be?” some one asked. “Maybe,” the old-time fighter said, “but don't overlook that thing they call ring experience under fire. Any- body who could lift his hands and | move around at all had to look good | against Carnera and Levinsky. “Baer has had some bad fights, but | never two bad ones in a row. It! takes a jolt of some sort to get him going again. He had his jolt last | June.” Looking Back. 'HE shift in this sporting whirl can | come in a hurry. The majority of the experts or Baer inside of 10 rounds. Yet I recall a talk 1 had with Max last Winter in Florida. I asked him how long he expected to be champion. This was the answer: “Jack Dempsey was champion for seven years and I can see no reason why I shouldn't last that long at the top. As it is now, there isn't any one in sight to make even 2 good fight or draw any I'm suppesed to fight some- body next June—but who can they find that's any good out of this bunch?” That dream of a seven-year reign became a nightmare last June. And now Baer has just one week left to get ready for another entry who looks far more dangerous than Jim Braddock could ever hope to look. Dempsey lasted seven years on top and Gene Tunney could certainly have gone along as far if he had cered to hang around, which he didn’t. Cer- tainly Sharkey and Schmeling never would have turned Gene off the road. The general angle among most sporting writers is this: “Any one who looked as terrible as Baer looked against Braddock in a championship fight has got to prove that he still cr fight before you can pick him | again to win—especially against the best-looking fighter he has ever met.” answer. It takes a lot of faith among those who picked Baer to beat Brad- | dock to stand pat and pick Baer to beat Joe Louis. Yet I know one or two who picked Braddock to beat Baer who now are picking Baer to win. That shows you how compli~ cated the situation can be. ht. 1935, by the North American (o wapaner Alliance.

GRID BATTLING SOUGHT. Walter’s “Comeback” Gleeful Johnson, Main Show in 2-0 Donkey Tilt Win, Is Among Those to Take Spill. BY BILL DISMER, JR. H! HELD his hands on his sides aching from laughter, and it's a cinch that no one got a bigger kick out of the Firemen's-Business Men's donkey base ball game at Bethesda last night than did Wal- ter Johnson, the Big Train. ‘When he wasn't convulsed with merriment, Walter was on the slab for the Business Men, tossing & big soft ball which enabled the Firemen to look like big league ‘hitters, but not scorers. As donkey Tiders, the fire fighters remained good flame extinguishers, and Johnsen's team triumphed, 2-0. ‘Walter started eut to be the o show and the crowd of 1,800 kept him so. They applauded when he took the mound in the first inning. They roared when he came to bat for the first time. And they shrieked with glee when he took a spill from a rambunctious burro. Incidentally, Walter pulled a ten- don when that mule threw him on the way to first in the third in- ning and he limped throughout the rest of his five innings. When Walter was not active in the line of duty he was busy auto- graphing various things for the youngsters. ‘The game netted $150 for the Bethesda firemen’s charity fund. s % Scrimmages with 150-pound elevens are being sought by Delta Phi Sigma.

Chisox Outfield Chanceless §{Y™)ARDON MY SOUTHERN ACCENT” may have been & popular ditty but the words are just a laugh in the Nationals’ clubhouse today. It's the Northern and Western con- tingents—virtually “furriners” now— who oughta be asking pardon, what with recruits pouring in from Dixie almost daily to give the sunny South an overwhelming majority. Fifteen of the 27 Nationals now hail from the South from Virginia to Cuba, as follows: Miles, Holbrook, Bolton, Manush, Stone, Travis, Marion, Mihalic, Myer, Lewis, Estal- lella, Newsom, Russell, Pettit and Rogers. The Midwest contributes six: Bluege, Whitehill, Kuhel, Schulte, Starr and Linke. From the North came only three, Coppola, Hadley and Strange. The Far West produces Red Kress. Dick Lanahan and Jake Powell, local boys, are regarded as neutral. Cecil Travis, the reformed third baseman, discovered that playing the outfield wasn’t all milk and honey yesterday. The kid made a great catch of Zeke Bonura's curving liner in the third inning but ran pell-mell into the left field boxes, painfully bruising his legs. Travis limped off the field while Red Marion took his place, Cecil may be back today, however. Weaver Boosts Night Ball. ONTE WEAVER, the ex-National, dropped into Griffith Stadium to pay a visit. Monte spent the season in the International League. His old mates. especially the pitch- ers, pumped questions about night base ball to Monte, who saw his share of it this season. “It isn't bad at| all” commented Weaver. “I didn't | notice much difference, if any, except that it throws you all out of whack for one day—meals and sleep, I mean.” Monte seemed a little heavier than when he was sent away last Spring. | He will get another trial with the | Griffs next year at training camp. Sam Jones is no Rube Waddell, but he could have called in his outfielders yesterday, so well pitched was his 9- to-1 game against the Nationals. None of the three Chisox outfielders got a putout or an assist and two of ‘Washington’s four hits were scratchy. Dee Miles looped a single just over Luke Appling’s head, while Buddy Myer beat out a roller to Appling. Only Estallella, who knocked in our side’s only run, and Cliff Bolton made real hits. Appling Gets “Five for Five.” WH!ZN Appling punched out five hits | in five times at bat against Bump Hadley and Jack Russell it marked the second time in three days that an enemy batsman so fed on local pitching. Earl Averill did it Saturday. The day that was skipped—Sunday —found Wright and Phillips of Cleve- land each getting four safeties in one | game. Nick Altrock is a new member of Washington's 1935 I-Got-the-Thumb Club. When Nick was waved from the game in the third inning for pro- testing to Umpire Brick Owens on a decision calling Miles out at first it marked the first time Altrock went away thusly in eight years. Hayes On Batting Rampage. Jackie Hayes, another ex-National, is & wild man at bat now. In the last three games—twc in Philadelphia and one here—Hayes has made eight hits in 12 times at bat. Washington pitching certainly agrees with a lot | of batters. At that Hadley wasn't so bad. In his five-inning term he fanned six of th White Sox, five of ‘em in suc- cession. They were Hopkins, Sewell, Jones, Radcliff and Simmons. Earl Whitehill was to seek his fif- teenth victory of the year today, op- posing Monty Stratton, a Sox rookie from the American Association. Strat- to. won 17 in the minors. F.E. 8. MAHAFFEY *STAKES DRAWS SHOE STARS| Washington, Maryland, Virginia Will Be Represented in Round Robin Event. TH’E first annual William N.

ALL 60 ROUTE SAVE ONE IN 13 STREAK Warneke Defeats Giants for 19th Win—Cards Hang On, Beating Dodgers. BY ANDY CLARKE, Associated Press Snorts Writer. PERUSAL of the records shows that the steadiness of the Cubs’ pitchers has been the most salient factor in the me- teoric advance of Chicago in the National League. ‘The Cubs have used only one pitcher in each of 12 of the 13 con- secutive games they have won while their rivals, the Cards and the Giants, have seen their flingers shelled into the showers on various occasions dur ing that span. In the past 13 games, Paul Dean has gone the distance three times for the Cards, his brother Dizzy, twice, and Phil Collins, once. Relief pitch- ers finished the cther games Hubbell pitched three entire games for the Giants, and Schumacher one, but in the other nine the twirlers found the row too tough to hoe and were beckoned from the field. Retain Two-Game Edge. 'HE Cubs subdued the Giants, 8-3, behind the seven-hit pitching of Warneke yesterday, that pitcher recording his nineteenth victory of the season. The win kept the Cubs | two games ahead of the second-place Cards and shoved the New York team 4'; games to the rear. Thirty thousand pennant-mad fans howled with glee as the belting Cubs knocked holes in Terry's experiment of starting a rookie, Harry Gumbert, against the league leaders, The Chicago batsmen, apparently resenting the affrontery of attempting | to stop them with a tyro. answered by knocking out eight hits for five runs before the former Baltimore hurler was called away. Two other | pitchers followed Gumbert and were | more effective, but the game had then been salted away. Cards Call a Halt. THE Cards, arising from the dust of three straight defeats at the hands of the Giants, defeated the | Brooklyn Dodgers, 1-0. in a mound duel between Paul Dean and Van Mungo. Dean held the Dodgers to six hits while striking out six and giving but one base on balls, while | Van Mungo ellowed only five hits, fanned seven, but gave four batters free tickets to the first station. The Cards bunched three of their hits in the first inning to score their all-importent tally, Frisch's single scored Moore.
