Title; Feel at Home at Garden City HOGAN RANS WAY | - T0 REGULAR POST Husk&( Backstop Not Only Power at Bat, but Also Clever Receiver. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. LEVELAND, Ohio, September 11.—One belief this waning base ball campaign has spread among diamond folk s that Clark Griffith has an uncanny knack of reaching into the minor leagues and plucking forth venerable but helpful cogs for his Washington club. One of the exhibits is Pete Apple- ton. Another, and more recent, speci- men is Shanty Hogan, the one-man gang who has been doing the bulk of the Nat's catching lately and who today virtually had clinched the regu- lar backstopping job. The Griffrpen, themselves, are look- ing upon ngnmy with new respect. Many of them, comparative newcom- ers to the big leagues, regarded his coming to the Washingtons with emusement. They had heard of him in a vague sort of a way—a “didn't- he-play-with-Giants-once?” way—but that was all. Now they have discov- ered that Shanty, for all of his fallen chest and 260 pounds, still is pretty tuch of a ball player. The pitchers openly are delighted at the prospect of hurling to the big fellow, who is handling them in a fashion that might well make an experienced American League catcher blush with shame. On the base paths, of course, he is a total loss, but when Bhanty picks up a bat he does nothing to disturb the reputation he has earned as one of the best hitting catchers in the game. Hits All Kinds of Pitchers. SHANTY has caught only five games for the Nationals since he obtained his parole from Albany, thanks to Clif Bolton’s “run out,” but he has proven definitely that he still has his batting eye. Unlike most recruits, Shanty does not have to prove he can hit major-league pitching. That was known when he played in the National League. All Hogan had to do, when he joined the Griffs, was to show that he still could hit, and five games is test a-plenty. Looking back on his record as an American Leaguer, Hogan shapes up as good as ever off the tee. In 16 official trips to the plate he’s made 8 hits for a .500 average. He scored 5 runs and drove across 2. Moreover, he’s hit all kinds of pitching. Rookie Fred Archer, an Athletic southpaw who beat the Griffs a week ago, was-the first to face Hogan, who got a double and a walk: Another southpaw, Bullock of the A's, also found that Hogan could hit. Fritz Ostermuller, still another left-hander, ‘was mauied by the big guy next and then came Southpaw Jake Wade of the Tigers, who was nicked 'for two hits in three chances to retire Hogan. Then, yesterday, Hogan encountered his first right-handed pitching test in Tommy Bridges, who evened the series at Detroit by holding the Nationals to five hits and winning, § to 2. Socks Homer off Bridges. ‘T WAS the best Bridges effort of the year, but still not good enough to stop Shanty. Of all the Griffs, Hogan was the only gent who couldn’t be fooled. He singled the first time and hit a terrific line-drive home run the second time up. On his third and last trip he sent Charley Gehringer back of second base for his smash and for anybody else it would have been a base hit. Manager Bucky Harris, admittedly one of the doubting Thomases when Hogan first was crated to the Na- tionals, now is doubting no longer. With little ceremony he made Shanty the Griff's first string catcher today a8 the Washingtons shifted their ac- tivities to Cleveland, where they hope to gain ground in the race for second place. In playing the Indians this season the Griffs have shown no particular talent, but currently they are far “hotter” than the Tribe and while Detroit, which is tied for third place with Washington, is battling the ‘Yankees, Harris believes his outfit can pick up a game or two. Tigers Gang up on Newsom. IN TIGERTOWN yesterday it was all Bridges. Buck Newsom did a fair job of pitching for the Nats, but there was no beating Tommy, who was given a lead at the start and never allowed himself to lose it, ex- cept for a few moments when Hogan lined out his home run. ‘The Tigers coined a run in the first inning on Walker's single, Burns’ walk, a long fly by Gehringer, and Goslin's grounder. In the fifth in- ning Shanty connected for his long clout after two were out and the bases empty. Making it 1-1. Detroit, in its half of thg fifth, ecame back to score two runs on singles by Owen and Walker and Burns' double. This made it 3-1. In the eighth it was boosted to 5-1 on Gehringer’s single, Goslin’s double, and Simmons’ single. Only in the ninth inning was Wash- ington able to put together more than one hit. With one down Lewis bunted and beat it out and Kuhel doubled him across. Stone fanned, however, and, after Travis walked, Bington lined to Walker. Stars Yesterday By the Associated Press.

Although such former collegiate aces as Roger Leverton of the Uni- versity of Richmond, Arnold Preheim, 1934 national decathlon champion: Tom McNelly, captain of Holy Cross’ 1933 track team, and Ben Chitwood, Olympic mile alternate in 1932, will compete, Miss Stephens is expected to attract the largest crowd in the history of the three-year-old meet. Running an exhibition 200-meter sprint against Charlotte Wade of the Department of Agriculture, to whom she will grant a 10-yard handicap, Miss Stephens does not expect to shatter the world mark, due to the lack of competition. She feels that record-breaking performances are the result of being pressed by a formid- able field. Wade Girl Has Speed. MISB WADE, however, may sur- prise the Missouri speedster. Two years ago she ran a close sec- ond to Stella Walsh, Poland’s fore- most woman athlete, at Chicago. Miss Stephens nosed out Miss Walsh in a 200-meter post-Olympic race. Government ‘employes, however, also are interested in the outcome of the meet.

BY SCOTTY PRESTON, Arsociated Press Sports Writer. ARDEN CITY, N. Y., Septem- ber 11.—The British Walker Cup players pick Albert “Scotty” Campbell of Seattle over Johnny Goodman as the man to beat in the National Amateur golf championship starting Monday. “The extremes of Campbell's game are unusually sound, and if you can drive and putt here you'll be hard to beat.” 2 This from Jock McLean, the whisky salesman from Glasgow, who, with Hector Thomson, the British ama- teéur champion, is conceded the best chance among the players from the other side. British Feel at Home. I DESPITE their inglorious showing in the cup matches, the British players have taken heart at the sight of the Garden City coutse. Here the wind is high, and the greens firm and fast. Furthermore, the greens generally are on the level of the fair- way and are excellent targets for the favorite British pitch-and-run shot. “We feel more at home here,” said Dr. William Tweddell, the British captain. “The turf has some of that seaside spring we know at home. The greens are solid and demand a good touch.” The British captain does not mean by this any member of the British | squad was dissatisfied with Pine Val- | ley. Rather, they praised the famous | New Jersey course. “We merely prefer this course because we're more | accustomed to playing the type,” Tweddell said. Of the 19 foreign players in the fleld, the experts list three who have a definite chance of taking the title out of the country. They are Thom- Bucky in Race for Managerial Prize. Special Dispatch to The Star. LEVELAND, Ohio, September 11.—Everywhere the Griffs go the writing boys are knocking out pieces lauding the managerial job of Bucky Harris this year and you wonder if all along Washington hasn’t overlooked the old boy wonder. If they gave any medals for the best managerial jobs, Bucky would have to be considered in the American League this season. Looking back over the concensus of the Nation's base ball experts, see the Washington firm pickéd for seventh place. Only over the Athletics were the Griffs conceded an edge. In the foremost poll, St. Louis was even picked to finish higher than Washington. Now the Griffs are tied for third place and they can even finish fifth and still make the campaign a suc- cess as far as Bucky is concerned. Without ‘a regular shortstop for the greater part of the season, without Capt. Buddy Myer and without first- class pitching or catchers, Bucky kept the team in the first division race and made money. Makes Ex-Employes Squirm. UCKY seems gifted with an un- canny talent for making his former employes squirm and snarl and rue the day they let him get away. » ‘The - philanthropic Tom Yawkey currently is the chief squirmer, ‘Thomas having let Harris go at the end of the 1934 season, after Bucky had piloted a far less illustrious Red Sox team into third place. This year Harris' bargain - counter Griffs actually promise to head Yawkey's $3,000,000 base ball investment. Even at the expense of the Tigers, the great avenger threatens to do some more avenging. Detroit let him go, too, and while Bucky’s absence was well tempered in 1934 and 1935 by pennant winning Tiger teams, he is tied today with a ball club rated, on paper, more highly than his own. When Griff let Harris get away, he had occasion more than once to ponder the advisability for Bucky’s Tiger teams, and his 1934 Bosions made the going pretty tough for Washington. Bent on Beating Boston. BUCKY sincerely was sorry to leave Washington and said as much even while at the helm of the Tigers. He bore no grudge against Griff, however, nor against the late Frank Navin, who reluctantly allowed Harris to go to Boston in 1933. April | you are faintly amused to | successive pennant for Washington, | but those who profess to know base | ball and managers say that Harris | today is a far superior pilot than when he was hailed as the boy won- | der in 1924 and 1925.

BACK early in April, when people were picking the base ball win- ners, and the Tigers and Red Sox were heavily backed, you recall Clark Griffith being asked what team he liked and why, and his answer and reasons come back quickly. His son-in-law was managing and | playing for the Bostons, but Griff at stars on one team.” “The Tigers? I liked them until they got Al Simmons. I doubt if they'll click as well. “INl tell you the club I'd pick if I| could see one player. If he’s in shape | —and I could tell in a few minutes— | I'd take the Yankees.” The player to whom Griff referred was Bill Dickey. “You can take Gehrig and the rest of the Yanks more or less for granted,” he said, “but Dickey will make or break the | club.” Latest averages show Dickey to be hitting .364 for 104 games. He's scored 95 runs, made 145 hits and driven across 102 runs. since 1925, when he won his second | Casiella ment, regardless of the fact that flags | eai the time feared there were “too many | e in son, McLean and C. Ross “Sandy” Somerville of Canada. Every oné knows what Somerville can do. He held the American title in 1932 and has put up a great fight every year since. Last year Walter Emery of Oklahoma City, the run- ner-up, put him out on the nineteenth green. Somerville admits that he is play- ing as well as he ever played in his life. On his first tour of the course yesterday he went out in 40 and came back in 31, five under par for the nine and two under for the round. McLean Has Confidence, THOUGH Thomson generally is re- garded as the better player, Mc- Leah has more confidence and is bet- ter placed in the draw. Thomson is in what probably is the toughest quar- ter, the second. He has to get Somer- ville, Fred Haas of New Orleans, the Canadian amateur champion; Johnny Fischer, Cincinnati; Walter Emery, Gus Moreland, Peoria, Ill,, and Jack Munger of Dallas, among others, in order to reflch the semi-finals. McLean, in the fourth quarter, does not have it so hard. George Dunlap, New York; Charlie Yates, Atlanta, and Ed White, Dallas, are the strong- est players in that quarter and White is said to have withdrawn. Ever since the Walker Cup matches, the British players have forgotten competitive golf and have been tour- ing New York night and day. Dr. Tweddell said that this was all very | pleasant, but he thought these tours were about over. “We've had very little sleep and we | must start geiting ready for the bat Gr_iff Q’ i{ecords . R.

Six of the eight clubs in the league— all but Memphis and Birmingham— helped make up the contingent. Some of the rookies already have reported to their new owners and will see action before the 1936 season ends, but most of them are ticketed for Spring delivery. Chattanooga lost seven athletes, six of them to Washington. Fred Sington, outfielder; Ed Linke, .pitcher, and Johnny Mihalic, second baseman, al- ready have reported. Sington was recalled from the heat of a fight for the Southern batting title, while he was hitting better than .380. Three Chattancoga pitchers—Dick Lanahan, Kendall Chase and Frank Petticolas, all up before—are slated fqr further Washington tryouts next | Spring, and another hurler, Al Ben- ton, was recalled by the Philadelphia Athletics, = Next to Chattanooga, Nashville sent up the biggest squad: three to Cin- cinnati and George Scharein to the New York Giants. Cincinnati drew the league’s leading batter, Joe Dwyer, who boasted a .385 average; and two other hefty hitters, Jimmy Outlaw, listed at .332, and John Pea- cock, who is clipping the ball at & .331 gait. ‘The Atlanta champions will give up two pitchers.

This hurling collapse, in which only Carl Hubbell and Freddy Fitzsimmons seem able to hold their own, has made anything but a song and dance out of the Giants' current home stand, to which they returned triumphantly only a week ago, and points to the year's most “crucial” series between the New Yorkers and the battling Cards in their three-game set Sunday and Mon- day.

The Cards pulled out their second close one in & row over the troublesome Bees, 3-2, with a two- run rally in the ninth, and the still dangerous Cubs nosed out the Phillies by the same margin on Stan Hack's eighth-inning homer, This left the Giants only 3'; games in front of the cards, with both the gas house gang and the Cubs com- ing up in the next four days, starting today, and juggled the situation till it lined up this way: Games To W.

Hal Trosky came through with a game-winning homer in the ninth to give the Indians a 5-4 win over the Yankees. The Athletics fired a 16-hit attack at the Browns for a 12-7 vic- tory in the opener of a double-header, but the nightcap was called in the ninth because of darkness with the score at 4-all. .
