SCORING 12:2 WIN * Milnar, Harder Are Pounded as Cleveland Fans Jeer Their Ball Club. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. LEVELAND, September 12— Washington's rampaging Na- tionals buried the vanishing Indians under an avalanche of 17 assorted hits today to keep well in the running for second place, while virtually eliminating Cleveland as & contender. The lop-sided affair, winding up ‘with a 12-2 score, was ended with the jeers of 2,000 fans roasting the tribe end hurling caustic comment at Man- eger Steve O'Neill. At least one-third of the crowd walked out long before the game was over. Jimmy De Shong, young right- hander of the Griffs, hung up his Lfteenth pitching victory of the sea- €on and breezed home after his club had batted around in the sixth inning to score half a dozen runs and take & 9-0 lead. Beside him, Cleveland's Messrs. Al Milnar and Mel Harder resembled a couple of selling platers. Milnar, giant rookie southpaw from Minneapolis, started for the Indians and for three innings he was virtually unhittable. Jess Hill beat out a roller to short stop for the only safety in that period. Then in the fourth Wash- ington began to find the range and Shereafter the Griffs were harder to stop than mud-slinging in election year. HOI KUHEL started the scoring by doubling to open the fourth and Bington splatted a drive against the right fleld fence for another two- bagger. An error by Berger and Bluege's infleld out scored Sington, making it 2-0. Hill, batting star of the game with four singles, opened the fifth with a hit and scooted home on Kuhel's second double to make it 3-0. Bluege started and finished the big Inning, which clinched the game and ehased Milnar from the premises. Ossie started by going out and fin- ished the same way. A line drive by Red Kress made the second out, but after Mihalic walked, Hogan reached base on an error by Knickerbocker, De Shong, Chapman, Hill and Kuhel singled, and Sington doubled. The Jast three hits were made off Harder, who was rushed to the relief of Milnar and proved an immediate relief to the Nats. He was as bad a¥§ his prede- eessor from Minneapolis. Not until the seventh inning did Pe Shong ease up. Up until this point Jimmy had given up only two hits and a base on balls, but with one out in the seventh he pitched successive singles to Billy Sullivan, Joe Voemik and Bozie Berger, letting the Tribe score all its runs. Parting Shot Fired. {JN THE Indians’ eighth frame he gave up two more hits, but a double play helped him and no dam- age was done. As a parting shot the Griffs ganged on Harder in their half of the eighth to more than offset the Tribe's scor- ing. Singles by Chapman, Hill, Sing- ton and Kress, a walk to Bluege and Mihalic’s line drive to right accounted for three more runs. Cleveland was the only club on which the Griffmen gained ground. Chicago preserved its game-and-a- half iead over the Nationals by whip- ping the Athletics and the Tigers remained in the running for second place by turning back the Yankees, — TRENTO IS CROWNED 'PENTATHLON CHAMP Syracuse Athlete Is First in 200 and 1,500 Meter Runs in National Test. @y the Associated Press.

LEVELAND, September 12— Jimmy Dykes’ murderous-hit- ting White Sox call the hand of the Nationals tomorrow in a hand-to-hand, double-header battle that will hold the American League spotlight. Still trailing the second-place White Sox by a game and a half after both clubs had registered victories today, the Nationals embarked for Chicago tonight to open a three-game series at Comiskey Park. The series will consist of a double-header tomorrow and a single game on Monday. Sharing with Chicago the distinc- tion of being the “hottest” team in the league, Washington will enter the second-place scrap with a record of eight victories in its last 11 games, while the White Sox today showed eight wins in their last nine games. If the Nationals emerge from this series with an edge, they will have erased a jinx that all season has plagued every effort to climb. Dykes' crew so far has won 14 of 19 games played between the two clubs. Bucky Harris’ two foremost curve ball pitchers will be thrown at the White Sox in an attempt to stop the heavy-hitting ‘crew which yesterday equaled the American League record for base hits by pounding 26 off Horace Lisenbee. In the opener, Harris will use Pete Appleton, who has won 12 games 50 far this year. Joe Cascarella, who whipped thie Tigers in the opening game of the current tour, will get the call in the nighteap. Hogan Steals Show.

To open the third inning Shanty walked and De Shong laid down a perfect sacrifice, but so slow was Hogan that Milnar nipped him at second base. Nevertheless Shanty negotiated the distance between first and third in the sixth inning when De Shong singled, winding up by sliding head first into the bag. The crowd, which easily could have mis- taken Shanty for & whale if a stream of water had emerged from his back, howled with glee to forget temporarily the plight of the poor Indians. Finally, to top off the day, Shanty actually tried to steal second in the seventh inning and almost got away with it. De Shong really was to have hit the ball in a hit-and-run at- tempt, but he missed the sign and everybody in the ball park laughed when Shanty began to lumber down. Catcher Sullivan was laughing until Hogan came within 20 feet of his destination and then whipped him out. Tribe Has “Fathers’ Day.” DAY was “fathers’ day” at League DI Park, with the dads of most of the Indians gathering at home plate before the game to be introduced to the crowd. Some of them; like old Billy Sulliv: nd Bozie Berger's dad, came all the way from the West Coast for the occasion, the reason for which is unknown unless the Indian man- agement made so much money this | gory year it didn't know what to do with it. The fans were something less than enthusiastic. They are so displeased with the Indians that receiving their dads at this time was something over which they could not get excited. MEL HARDER'S lack of effective- ness is amazing the Nationals, who are used to bowing and scraping when the great Cleveland right- hander enters the box.

ETROIT, September 12.— Schoolboy Rowe gained his seventeenth pitching victory of the year today by stop- ping the champion New York Yan- | kees with six hits for & 10-to-1 De- troit victory. The Tigers touched Charley Ruf- fing for a dozen hits in piling up their total and handing the Yankee | redhead his eleventh defeat against 19 victories for the season. The Yankees were held scoreless for eight innings. In the ninth, Joe Di Maggio singled, Lou Gehrig dou- bled and George Selkirk sent the lone run across with a grounder. Al Simmors' three-run triple in the third gave the Tigers a lead they never relinquished. Their biggest inning, however, was the eighth, where three hits, three walks and & wild pitch netted five runs. A. Det.

Berkeley player has been a favorite * here for several years. But the gal- leryites were forced to shift their sentiment, marveling at Miss Marble's superb play as she completely out- classed Miss Jacobs in the last two sets. Perry, by his own words, was the “happiest ‘man in the world” after he blazed over his last of 11 service aces for the winning point. Indeed, by his own admission, it was the most difficult match of his colorful career, Budge's fine playing, the roisterous crowd and the weather conditions taken into eonsideration. Officials of the United States Lawn ‘Tennis Association strategically placed Budge and Perry in opposite halves of " the draw, hoping for a meeting be- tween the Californian and the Briton in the final. Their were realized and twice Budge came 2 points of fulfilling the fondest hopes held or _the ter, who was playing R O ovimmmama——ga. ¢ first time. The Plti‘:‘mrch big chnaces in nth and sixi games of the final set, leading 5—4 and 8—7 and with the score at deuce each time against Perry's service. Verging on to victory, the pressure weighed heavily on the slightly built, sky - scraping American youngster) while Perry, who has been through fire before, remained cool. Budge Fades Physically. THE first time Perry pulled himself partly out of the hole by acing Budge with a viciously hit forehand placement and then ended all danger for the moment by forcing Budge to hit hurriedly and bat the ball out of the court. In the sixteenth game Budge pulled up from 15—40 to deuce, * but it was obvious by now he was fading physically and not hitting his shots as certainly and devastatingly as_before. Like the true champion he is, Perry once again met and disposed of the challenge in a spectacular manner. After poising himself on the service line for what seemed like minutes, the Briton slammed over an ace, which Don acknowledged by merely shaking his head and without trying to lay his racquet on the ball. Perry then won the game by bringing off a pass- ing placement. Budge didn't give up, but 1t was plain to all he had shot his bolt. He was credited with four points, all of them Perry’s errors, in the last two games as he yielded the seventeentn after getting off to a 30—15 start. Back in the lead and determined not to let the match get out of hand again, Per ry closed out behind a scorching serv- ice ace and then hurdled the net and embraced Budge. Budge Far From Humbled. 'HE down-hearted American youtl, who lost to Perry in four sets in the semi-finals of the all-England championship this year and bowed to him a year ago in the Davis Cup chal- lenge round, wasn't in a mood for sym- pathy. However, he had every reason to be proud of his showing because he not only twice had the Briton backed up against the wall, but outplayed him through most of the match. Although he didn't show at peak form in any of his earlier matches, Budge lost no time in showing he was primed for Perry, With his service booming as of old and hitting from both wings with crispness and amaz- ing accuracy, Budge made Perry look almost juvenile in the first set. The crowd lost no time in sensing an upset and quickly climbed aboard the Budge bandwagon. But Perry stepped up his game and really hit his peak in the last two games as he took the second set at 6—2, alming his drives at the corners and keeping the ball low, which forced Budge to dump a flock of shots into the net. Rain interrupted play for 25 minutes after the seventh game. The third set, which was bitterly fought, was marked by several Al- phonse-and-Gaston gestures and the players “threw” points at each other in protest to decisions. Except for consecutive service breaks in the fourth and fifth games, it was a service duel and Budge weakened in the fourteenth game. Perry Gets Mysterious. PBHRY mystified every one in the * fourth set as he seemed to lose interest. He served four double- faults and swung at the ball care- lessly, while Budge took things seri- ously and played every point to a finish. However, the Briton roused himself to top-flight tennis in the final set and won out on superior stroking and experience.
