Nats Bringing Home Fine Record : WHIPS MENINGITIS “DIFFERENT” TEAM T0 TAGKLE YANKS Chapman Gives New Life to | Club That Has Won 10 of Last 15 Games. NO GAME TODAY PHILADELPHIA, July 3.—Rain here early today caused the post- ponement of the final game of the series between Nationals and Ath- letics. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. Staff Correspondent of The Star. HILADELPHIA, July 3.—An up-and-coming Washington Ball Club that obviously is reaching its peak prepared to head homeward for a second long stand today and to prove early to Capi- tal fans at the expense of the higu- fiying Yankees what it has been prov- ing to itself for two-weeks—that it's a different team. Win or lose today in the finale of a four-game series with the Athletics, the Harrismen will ride into Griffith Stadium tomorrow for the traditional double-header against the Yankees with snappy road record and as among chief challengers, if such they may be called, of the New Yorks. Base ball phophecies are not safe (o venture. A fraction of an inch when the ball strikes the bat is the difference between a pop fly and a homerun. But if ever a diamond prediction seemed foolproof, it is that Washing- ton fandom will see a “new” Griffith A. C. tomorrow. New Faces on Display. THREE new faces will be on display, notably that of Ben Chapmaa, the smooth-fielding, hard-hitting cen- terfielder, who generally is credited with having much to do with the| Nationals' new formidableness. Ben was traded to Washington the day the Griffs left for the current tour that will end at sundown. Since he's beea Conquers Illness, Stages Great Comeback day in the_first game of a t safety in the second tilt and ended. POWEROFF.B.1. in the line-up the Nati, 10 of 15 gemes and have risen from the second divisien into a virtual tie for second place. In Chapman will be | noted a cog that has done much to add balance to a club without the loss | of brilliance. | The other new faces will be pitchers. Joe Cascarella will make his debut in the stadium as a National and as one of the heroes of the tour. True, he won only a single game and lost two, but the former Red Sox hurler, in losing, was far from disgraced. He pitched an eight-hit classic against Cleveland and lost to Mel Harder. He | gave four hits to Chicago and again| was defeated. The third new iace will be that of Bill Dietrich, picked up from the A’s the other day on waivers. He has yet to see action in a Washington uniform Club Hits, Fields, Get Breaks. THROUGHOUT the devious jaunt | in both West and East, the Nationals, to all appearances, have found themselves. The team is hit-| ting—belting the ball at a terrific pace. At fleld it has improved by leaps and | bounds. The spirit, always good, hes ! been better since the coming of Chap- | man. And, last but not least, Wash- | ington is getting the breaks—the sign | of a winning club. | The Griffs got the breaks yesterday, for instance, when they downed the | A's for the third straight time, 4 to 3.| The victory. credited to Earl Whitehill, ! sent the Washingion entry soaring ahead of the beaten Red Sox and into a virtual tie with Detroit for the run- ner-up position. Philadelphia, whipped 10 times in\ 11 games with the Griffs, made a des- perate bid for victory. Connie Mack sent Dusty Rhodes to the slab and the former Boston hurler responded with a good effort that would have won | under ordinary circustances. Only in a single inning, the second, did the Griffs bat him hard. A’s Make Bid. IL TRAVIS, finding his eye of | late, opened the inning with a sin- gle and moved to third on another single by Clif Bolton. Red Kress fouled out, but Ossie Bluege, the “new” power house, slapped a hit to left to score two runs and, when Whitehill followed with a single, Bluege scored to make it 3-0. With Whitehill mowing down the A’s the game seemed to be out of danger. In the sixth the Griffs made it 4-0 on & lucky break, for, with two down and Travis on first, Bolton lifted a fly to short right center. Niemiec, the second baseman: Moses, the center fielder, and Puccinelli, the right fielder, all raced for the ball. It dropped among them for a double and Travis &cored with what was to prove the winning run. The A's finished strongly. They scored two runs in their half of the &ixth, another in the eighth, and then made a determined bid for the game in the ninth, when they put the tying and winning runs on base with only one down. Whitehill, however, was equal to the occasion and registered his sixth victory of the season. Griffs in Strategic Position. THUS the Griffs. now with 11 wins and 5 defeats for the present road trip, will return home in a strategic position. The double-header with the Yanks tomorrow and the sin- gle game on Sunday comprises a series, of course, that embraces pit- falls. Nobody has been beating the Yankees lately, but there is a feeling that if the Nats don't do it now they never will. In the fisst place, they're at the top of their game. Secondly, with only two wins in eight tussles with New York, they’re overdue. After New York comes a rest. Then, in succession, will come the Tigers, Browns, White Sox and Indians. In Griffith Stadium, -too, the Griffs are long overdue to flash their real ability. If they can come up with a good record during the forthcoming home stand they'll be in a fair way of fin- ishing at least two-three behind the Yanks. FIREMEN NINE AHEAD. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star ALEXANDRIA, Va. July 3.—Co- lumbia Firemen defeated the Rawlett Decorators, 6—2, in a Commercial League game here yesterday, Darley leading the winning attack with a double and a triple. onals have won | TOLD IN FIGURES Great Pitching and Hitting Gave First-Half Win in Government Loop. ‘ A 7}{\’ the Federal Bureau of Investization's base ball the field in the United States Government League to win the first-half championship by four games is clearly revealed in statistics of the season's first 12 games. Two pitchers—Tennant and David- son—won more games between them, nine, than any other team could win throughout the series. Davidson was undefeated in four starts, while Ten- nant won five out of six. Nichols | added the other two victories. But it is the batting records that testify to the might of the Sleuths, who hit for a team average of .338. Two regulars, Barry and Colliflower, hit over .400, Barry leading with 429 and Colliflower .405. Three other regulars are hitting well over the .300 mark, Morris slamming at a .372 clip, Rosser .370 and Leverton .353. Keyser of the third-place Commis- sioners team is the loop's second best | batter, having played in eight games | and hit for an average of .423. Only exght other batters have more than a -300 average. They are Freeman and Love of Agriculture, Heiser and Gray- son of Police, Moore and Owen of Treasury, Nelson and Guethler of the | D. C. Commissioners. Watt of the Police was the league's third most successful pitcher, having won four games while dropping two. TRANSFER DEEMED HELPFUL TO MILES Steady Play With Albany Club Should Develop Outfielder Shipped by Nats. Br a Staff Correspondent of Tne Star. HILADELPHIA, July 3.—One of the best corps of regular outfield- ers in the American League, plus a pair of capable, experienced reserves, proved no way to further the develop- ment of young Wilson (Dee) Miles and so the fleet-footed Alabaman to- day was a member of the Albany Sen- ators. Miles was released by the Nationals yesterday on option to the Interna- tional League “farm.” He goes sub- ject to recall within 24 hours and tagged as a bright prospect who still needs regular play to bring him out as a full fledged big leaguer. With the Nationals this season, Miles had little chance. Johnny Stone, Ben Chapman and Cecil Travis are fixtures in the garden against right- handed pitching and when the op- position use a southpaw, Manager Bucky Harris chose to substitute Jesse Hill for Stone and Carl Rey- nolds for Travis. The youthful Miles, a left-handed batter and far from polished fielder, rarely was used ex: cept in pinch-hitting roles. —— POLICE WIN EARLY.

C, | | HILADELPHIA, July 3.—Among the more interesting items on | the Washington ball club’s forthcoming schedule of activ- ities one has to do with Bill Dietrich, the barrel-chested, bespectacled young man who henceforth will iiptoe | througin the tulips from the bull pen to the relief of Bucky Harris' floundering starting pitchers. Diet- rich, incidentally, literally tiptoes. That's the way he walks. It will be interesting to note Diet- rich's progress as a National, especially in light of what old Connie Mack said when he let Bill go to the Wash- | ingtons via the waiver route. In effect, the spindly patriarch declared he thought Dietrich was a promising pitcher with a good fast ball, but that he (Mack) was convinced he could never win for the Athletics. The grieving management of Bos- ton’s tarnished gold stockings may have thought the same thing when it iet Joe Cascarella go. Ditto for the Yankees when Jimmy De Shong was traded during the Winter and, recently, | when Ben Chapman was shipped to the Capital. All of these gents were | broken promises—until they came to | Washington. Now here's Dietrich, At Peak Now As Pilot. BUCKY HARRIS seems to make a specialty of remodeling ball play- | ers like these. and people who know | base ball will tell you that is a real | sign of managerial genius. Not since the gala days of 1924 and 1925, when he was little more than a wild- eyved kid, has Bucky won a pennant, but there isn't much doubt but that Harris today is a far better manager than when he rode the crest of suc- cess and fame. His handling of his men is the reason. He has learned who to pat on the back and who to kick in the slats. The current standing of the Amer- ican League serves to furnish an |example. In 1934 Bucky was at the helm of a Red Sox team far less costly and star-studded but no less hard to handle than this year’s Boston outfit. There were fellows on the team like Eddie Morgan, Bill Cissell, Roy Johnson and Wes Ferrell who had reputations as men “hard to handle.” Bucky handled them well enough to finish third, which is higher than the 1936 Red Sox stand now. Chapman Is “New” Player, 'HE Yanks decided De Shong Was too much of an in-and-outer to be counted upon during a season when ‘they figured to be battling for the pennant. What the Yanks failed to see was that all the much-kicked- around De Shong needed, apparently, was a guy to pat him on the back, give him plenty of encouragement and, more, show how he felt by giving him plenty of chances. Harris did it and De Shong has rewarded him with 10 victories in 14 starts. The aloof manner of running affairs at New York did not set well with Chapman. The Yanks decided they'd rather have Jake Powell and got him ~—much to the delight of Harris. ‘That Bucky’s joy was well founded has been proved by Ben's work under him. Chapple has batted close to 400 as a National and there isn't much doubt but what he-is the best ball player on the Washington club now. When the Nationals got Cascarella, he had worked a total of three innings eland Indians sliding into third base against the Browns yester- | | He added the seventh straight —Copyright A. P. Wirephoto. in 81 days and had not won a game When he joined the Griffs, the shrewd Harris pulled him aside and pointed to De Shong. “There's a fellow who | was like you,” said Bucky. “All he needed was a chance. He got it and vou see what he's doing. You'll get the same chance.” Also Remodeled Pete Appleton. ASCARELLA went into the box | tiat same afternoon in a relief | role and won his first game of the | year. On this current trip he also | pitched an eight-hit game and a four- hitter. You watch Red Kress perform at short and star at bat and you wonder how many managers could have | drawn the same amount of service from Red. The Browns couldn't even | when Red was young and got off to a brilliznt start. The White Sox couidn't | and traded h‘m to Washington for a guy who long since has gone from | the majors, Bob Boken. Now Kress is a vital cog in the Washington club. Afeld he’s a tower of strength, despite his slowness afoot. At hat he’s the leading hitter on the team. Behind his play you can trace the fine hand of Harris, Five major league managers tried to do something with Pete Appleton and when Pete had more stuff on the ball than he has now. They all sent him back to the bushes. Harris, gambling on the guy and on himself. helped to engineer the drafting of Appleton last Fall. Pete's six victories so far are worth far more than the draft price of $7,500 that was paid for him. Now the latest of these latent subjects, these broken promises, is Dietrich. Mickey Cochrane once said of Bill, “he’s got a ball as fast as Grove's was when Lefty was in his prime.” 8o far this department has failed to encounter a single Washington player that hasn't voiced his respect of Dietrich’s ability. But the fact remains he was no good to Philadelphia, despite his heralded ability. And it's up to Bucky to remodel him as he has done De Shong. Kress, Chapman, Appleton and Cascarella. —_— PRAISES BRITISH FOUR NEW YORK, July 3 (#).—Stewart Iglehart, a member of the American international polo team which defeated England last month to retain the Westchester Cup, has returned home. Iglehart praised the British team which was beaten in “two swell games,” and particularly lauded Hesketh Hughes, the No. 1, and Humphrey Guinness, the back. Diamond Tickets Still Available LENTY of reserved seats are still available for tomorrow's dou- ble-header at Griffith Stadium be- tween the Nats and the Yanks, who will play the first game at 1:30 o'clock. A small humber of box seats at $1.65 and a great many of reserved grandstand seats at $1.10 still are unsold. No seats back of the first four rows are reserved, being available to fans on the first-come, first- served basis. FRIDAY, Canmp Indians Win Pair—Cards | Cling to Lead.

Japan, Making Great Strides In Sport, Hopes to Stage *40 Games, Say of sport a decade ago to com- mand of the Olympic games of 1940 is a stride expected to be be made by the enterprising Japanese. Japan’'s athletic ambitions were set forth today by Count Michimasa Soye- | shima of the Japanese House of Peers and Privy Council and member of the International Olympic Committee. The count, a small, clean-shaven man of 65 and an Oxford graduate, is here en route to Berlin, where he will strive to land the next world meet for Tokio. Only Finland and possibly England remain in the field against the Land of the Rising Sun. Sometime ago Count Soyeshima persuaded Premier Mussolini to withdraw Italy'’s bid. He described Mussolini as a “very hu- man man.” He hopes that Prime Min- ister Stanley Baldwin, his intimate friend, with whom he has communi- cated on the subject, will influence England to withdraw, too.
