A—ll Majors Beckon Bevy of Bushers : Delaney Favored to Whip Everett Mov1es Show How Real Feat Is Gracefully Achieved SINGTON IS AMONG - MOST PRI]MlSING Former anfman Plunkmg‘ Fences With .381 Mark in Dixie League. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, July 13.—Something about a few of the bush leagues’ prize pupils who may graduate to the major cam- Puses before next season: There is Joe Marty, the San Fran- eisco outfielder, who is leading Pa- cific Coast batters with a .377 aver- age. “He hits ’em farther than Di Maggio, but not so often,” reports a California operative. The Seals will sell him for a tidy price, of course; they always do. The San Francisco club has peddled a quarter of a mil- lion dollars’ worth of outfielders in the last 10 years, the traffic includ- ing such players as Earl Averill, Smead Jolley, Roy Johnson, Paul Waner and Joe Di Maggio. All made good but Jolley, which is a fine rec- ommendation for the San Francisco brand of ivory. Up in Seattle they rate young Hal Spindel the equal of Gordon Coch- rane when the “Mick” caught for Portland. Spindel is a good mechanic, fast and leads his club in batting. “Dutch” Ruether okays the novice and when the old left-hander says a fellow is good, he is all of that. Seattle also may send Dick Gysel- man, a third baseman, and Jimmy Shevlin, a first sacker, up for further trials. Both seem to have found themselves in the Northwest country. Others Are Blooming. OTHER Pacific Coasters blooming y are: George Myatt and Bobby Doerr, the kid second-base combina- tion of the San Diego team upon ‘whom the Red Sox hold an option. and Bobby Mattick, son of “Chink,” former White Sox infielder, who shortstops for Los Angeles. The An- & third baseman, to the White Sox. Roy Mort, first baseman, and Eddie Joost, third baseman, of the Missions also are earning a trip to the majors with good batting and timely hit- ting. Oakland and Sacramento also have some prospects, but they are off the market, being property of the Yankees and Cardinals. ‘The Cards, of course, will have Jim Winsett up from Columbus, for a trial in the Spring. The 24-year-old outflelder hit 21 home runs, 12 dou- bles and 3 triples in a stretch of 32 games, and Frankie Frisch would wel come a guy who can wallop like that; “even though he has a first-rate out- fleld. Columbus also will graduate Catcher Arnold Owen, who is bat- ting .369. The Ohio farm is a great catcher incubator for Branch Office Rickey, and during the last few sea- sons has produced Bill Delancey, Jimmy O'Dea and Brusie Ogrodowski. at & good young catcher, for good young catchers are money in the horn, but chances are he would prefer the farm to grow a few pitchers like the Deans. Chester Laabs, outfielder, and Cherokee York, first baseman, will be called in from Milwaukee by the Tigers, and both are likely to stick. Sington Is Doing Well. g OHN DICKSHOT is winning his way back to Pittsburgh by batting .344 for Buffalo. Les Powers, a former Yankee chattel, is hitting .356 for Baltimore, and some club needing & first sacker will grab him. Johnny McCarthy is hitting .325 at Newark, and is rated the slickest fielding first sacker the International has seen in several seasons, but there's a fellow named Gehrig ahead of him on the Yankees. “Babe” Dahlgren, who the Red Sox sent to Syracuse, is hitting .320, and there are few better around first base. There are several major teams which could use a Powers, Mc= Carthy or Dahigren. Freddie Sington—Washington has had him up before—is rattling South- ern Association fences with a .381 average, and that should be carfare to the big towns. Le Grant Scott of Birmingham, Marshall Mauldin of Knoxville, and Heinrich of New Or- leans are three other Dixie outfield- ers tagged for advance. Mauldin is property of the White Sox, and Dykes can use him if he is ready. ‘There are not many pitching pros- Pects in the tall and uncut veldt and, judging from the amount of hitting being done in the majors, there are not many pitchers anywhere. Every scout encountered tells of an acute shortage of young hurlers with any jpromise. Maybe the crop was plowed under by the A. A. A . SPEEDS BASE RUNNERS WNational League Revises Ground CARDINALS FALL UPON EVIL TIMES Events of Last Week End May Spell Disaster for League Leaders. BY SID FEDER, Associated Press Sports Writer. HEN it comes time to write the history of the 1936 big league campaign, the “breaks” of the week end just past may tell the story of the up-to-now tight and dizzy National League race. At any rate, if the gas house gang from St. Louls misses out on the pen- nant, it easily can point to the events of those two days as the root of all the evil that befell it. ‘When Dizzy Dean was knocked out by Burgess Whitehead's line drive in Saturday's game with the Giants, it took from the Cards the one man who has done more than any other to keep them up in the race, He will be out for at least a week. Cardinals Drop Two. JUST as if things were not bad enough, the daffy and docile Dodgers picked this same week end to get tough, and used the Cards to prove it. They belted out a double- header Sunday victory, 6-3 and 11-4, and all but knocked the gas house gang out of the league leadership. With the fast-climbing Chicago Cubs breaking even with the Giants, winning a double-header opener, 4-2, and then dropping the nightcap, on the strength of a seven-run, sec- ond-inning New York rally, the Dodg- ers' double trouncing of the Cards clipped the St. Louis lead to half a game. The Phillies wrote another chapter in the sudden collapse of the Cincin- nati Reds, Joe Bowman pitching a one-hit 4-0 shutout in the opener of a twin bill, stretching the Reds’ los- ing streak to six straight. In the sec- ond game the Reds outlasted the Phils for 11 innings and a 4-3 decision. White Sox Annoy Yanks. , ‘HE Boston Bees, who played a three-game part in the Cincinnati downfall last week, continued their winning with a 6-2 victory over Cy Blanton and the Pirates, despite Arky Vaughan's batting spree, in which he clubbed out a double, triple and homer.. In the American League the Yanks were finding the invading Chicago ‘White Sox just as tough as the Cleve- land Indians, who had just left, and had to fight uphill to break even in a twin bill, winning the afterpiece, 5-4, after Ted Lyons had shut them out, 5-0, in the opener. The Tigers continued the chase after the Yanks with a 7-2 verdict over the Athletics. Johnny Allen let Rules—Gives Umps Relief. - ST. LOUIS, July 13 (#).—President fFord Frick of the National League had good news here today for' the cir- euit’s fleet base runners, Effective July 15, on all overthrows, wild pitches and passed balls, runners may advance at their own risk as many bases as they can make, unless the pall goes to a spot where it cannot be getrieved. Frick said this uniform ruling had peen agreed upon by league directors to eliminate varying ground rules at different parks. Watching the Giant-Cardinal game tn 103-degree temperature, Frick also the Red Sox down with four hits for & 5-2 Indian win, and the lowly St. Louis Browns upset the Griffmen, 4-3.

ROD AND STREAM BY WHEELER JOHNSON. through from the angling fronts, fishing yesterday may best be described as spotty. There were plenty of anglers every- where, driven out of town by the heat, and a number of them struck fish, but none of them escaped the heat, as far as could be learned. The fresh-water situation was only fair, as far as the Potomac around the District was concerned. There were a few small bass and a number of catfish caught, but few of the river anglers had much to brag to the home folks about. A few small perch also were landed. However, river conditions are good, and better fresh-water fishing probably is in prospect. FROM meager reports filtering APT. EDGAR BOWEN, down Sol- omons way, reported that one of & » Q his boats brought in 353 hardheads late Friday night, and that most of his boats and those of Capts. J. C. Lore and J. C. Wester were averag- ing about 100. The hardheads are biting best from one side of the chan- nel to the other, off Cedar Point to Hoopers Island, he said. There were 27 good-sized trout in the Friday haul, but most of the catches are confined to hardheads, However, according to Capt. Bowen, it is possible to catch from 50 to 100 “pan” rocks almost any afterncon by trolling. The rocks are taking June bug spinners and bloodworms well. He does not expect blue fishing to amount to anything before three weeks or & month. CAPT HARRY WOODBURN, at Solomons Island, described the fishing as “slow,” particularly in the morning, but added that any one could catch a passable string of hard- heads in the late afternoon. His boats have found the best fish- ing time from 3 to 5 p.m., but dis- covered that fishing still is good up to about 10 pm. Catches per boat run from 75 to 200. Usually about 15 trout are included in each catch, he said, but the trout are not biting very rapidly as yet. Either peeler crabs or shrimp are preferred baits for these fish at Solomons. Capt. Woodburn also said trolling for rockfish was good off Cedar Point and that one school of bluefish had been geported in that vicinity. Cm NOAH HAZZARD at Gales- ville reported stormy weather yesterday made fishing very slow in his neighborhood. Rain interfered with the anglers, but earlier in the week fair catches were made. Most of these were the old reliable hard- heads. Away out at Ocean City, Md., the bluefishing was found erratic last week. According to James D. Jarman the boats had been averaging about 50 large blues per boat, but several days the fishing fleet dropped far] down in catches. A party from Virginia, fishing with Capt. Crawford Savage, reported a catch of 58, while a Baltimore party, fishing with Capt. Frank Parsons, came in with 67 during the week. Most of the boats had similar catches on several days. “The Townsend boys, Paul and Jack,” he writes, “have been out to seek marlin and saw six. Jack hooked one, and after battling him for about 15 minutes and having him licked, he straightened the hook and gotfl away just before reaching the Well, fishermen's luck. The big one always gets away. Jarman says channel bass are biting fair at Fox Hill Levels, and still fish- ing is good, with weakfish striking well at the wrecks and running nice in size. Kingfish and weakfish also are biting fair on the pair and along the surf. Minor Leagues International. Montreal. 3—1: Newark. 1—3. Baltimore. 6—2: S!rltllll 5—4. Buffalo. 4: Alb; . 3.

Women Athletes Find Motherhood Is Aid to Stardom Two on American Olympic Track Team Say They Have Improved Since Babies Came. BY MARY ELIZABETH PLUMMER, Associated Press Staff Writer. YORK, July 13.—Moth- erhood “has made me run faster,” was the new slant on maternity given today . by a United States women’s Olym- pic team hurdler who is the mother * of & 2}5-year-old girl. “I've never run so fast in my life as I have since my baby was born,” sald Mrs. Anne O'Brien, a thin, serious-faced athlete from Hunt- . ington Beach, Calif. Another young mother on the women's Olympic track and fleld team, Mrs. Gertrude Wilhelmsen of Puyallup, Wash., who also has a daughter two and a half, said ma- ternity had enabled her to hurl the discus and javelin farther. “I'm better than I was before,” she said. “T feel so free. I feel 100 per cent.” The two women, found showing snapshots of their babies to each other while the track and fleld team sat at breakfast, said they'd like to “black the eyes of people who say that women are no good in athletics after they've lud children.” (N “I have more strength than I used to,” exclaimed Mrs. O'Brien.. +The two mothers, who never had met until the Olympic track and fleld trials July 4, said, “We have & lot in common in the way we feel about things,” but added: “I guess we'll feel sick and tired of each other’s children before the Olympics are over.” “My daughter weighs 33 pounds,” boasted the javelln throwing mother, Mrs. Wilhelmsen. “My stars! Yours is fat!” said Mrs. O'Brien. Mrs. Wilhelmsen said of hus- A band, Andrew, who works in & ‘Tacoma, Wash., flour mill: - “He's the one that me along. He goes to the field when I'm practicing, just to help and encourage.” She said her physician told her, in regard to javelin throwing, “Don't ever give it up.” Mrs. O'Brien’s husband helps her, too. He used to be a track man, and that's how she got started. She takes her baby-out to the track in its carriage, so the baby and already has BROADUS 15 BAGK in District A. A, U. Meet Opening Today.

ALTHOUGH the national junior out- door diving championship in which he is entered is not scheduled until tomorrow, enough competition was listed for the Crystal Pool this afternoon and evening to provide thrills for-water-sports addicts. While Boys and girls under 16 and 17 were racing in 60-yard events this afternoon—the free style, breast stroke and back stroke—the first major ac- tivity was listed to start at 8:30 o'clock tonight, with one local A.

EVERY outstanding feminine swim- mer in the city apparently is entered, with Rita Augusterfer, de- fending champion; Ann Bono and Ann Arnson leading the fleld. Miss Bono holds the title in the 50-yard dash, while Miss Arnson is the defending back stroke champion. Other events for women tonight in- clude the 90-yard free style, 60-yard back stroke and 180-yard medley swim. Male swimmers tonight will com- pete in the 90 and 400 yard free style, 120-yard breast stroke and 180-yard medley relay.

PARKER GETS LEG ONNEWNET BOWL Riggs Beaten for Spring Lake Title by Hemphill Trophy Holder. BY the Assocated Press. PRING LAKE, N. J., July 13.— Frankie Parker held the Bath- ing and Tennis Club's annual invitation tournament title to- day, having beaten Robert Riggs in straight sets and gotten revenge for | his loss of the national clay courts | title to the Pacific Coast star. The Lawrenceville schoolboy cap- tured the tournament for the fourth consecutive year. He previously beat | Frank X. Shields, Clifford Sutter and | Charles Harris in the final matches. | Parker won by scores of 6—2, 6—4, ; 1—5. Riggs, whose service carried him to the final round, gave little opposition and made repeated errors as Parker forced the play. Parker was a match for Riggs’ high- kicking service, which on Saturday put J. Gilbert Hall out of the picture. Parker broke “his opponent’s service six times, and lost his own delivery only twice in the overtime third set. | B Having retired the Hemphill trophy | last year, Parker won his first leg on the new bowl. The donor, Clifford | Hemphill of New York and Spring | Lake, made the presentation before a | gallery of 1,000. In the all-California doubles final, the top-seeded team of Riggs and Wayne Sabin of Hollywood defeated Robert Underwood of Los Angeles and Williams Seward of Beverly Hills. The match was closely contested in contrast to the singles final and went | to four sets. The scores were 10—8, 4—86, 6—4, 7—5. —— GETS PIECE OF FLAG Ehrlichs Beat Berwyn for First- Half Honors in Soft Ball. ‘The Ehrlich Poultry Co.'s ten yes- terday swamped Berwyn A.

HEAVEE PROMISE SPIRITED COMBAT Strange to 10-Round Route, Buffalo Youngster May Be at Disadvantage. BY BURTON HAWKINS, SOM! of the most potent punch- ing witnessed at Griffith Sta- dium since Bill Dickey pianted a jaw-breaking right paw on Carl Reynolds’ jutting chin is expected to develop tonight when Al Delaney, youthful Buffalo scrapper, mixes mit- tens with Buck Everett, District heavy- ‘weight champion, in a 10-round bout. The free-swinging Everett, immense- ly ‘popular with Washington's cauli- flower colony prior to dropping a decision to Bob Godwin here last Sep- tember, returns to familiar territory as an underdog—not because he has slipped—but due to the impressive per- formances of the 20-year-old Delaney. One of the most promising prospects among fistiana's heavyweight corps, Delaney will be launching blows over a 10-round route for the first time. The | chunky clouter heretofore has been restricted to fighting six and eight- round bouts. Everett Is Strong Finisher. EVERE’I'IS followers feel the In- diana Wildcat has a definite ad- vantage in having the extra heats tacked on. Buck is a strong finisher, while Delaney has shown a tendency to weaken after the fifth or sixth canto. Delaney's handlers—with an extra 22 per cent at the gate to aid their ‘nnwnmg-flgure the Russian-Amer- ican lad has absorbed enough ring knowledge | battles. Most ringworms who have seen De- laney in action agree with Manager Dave Sonnenberg that Al is ready to face more severe tests. Since knocking | out Godwin in his debut here last De- cember, Delaney has trounced Terry Mitchell, Joe Lipps, Billy Ketchell, Billy Nichy and Charley Massera. He is undefeated locally. Al's Sunday sock, a stiff right hand to the chin, has dropped 28 of his 37 opponents, yet there are few fans who believe the curly-headed hitter will land that telling blow on the ring- wise Everett. to venture into longer New Faces in Prelims. UCK, noted for his stirring rallies, is remembered here chiefly for his two wins over Natie Brown and his faultless disposal of Steve Dudas, who has trimmed Delaney.
