SPORT Nats Get Scant Batting Honors : Gevinson Fit for Pro Ring Bow “FADING” PLAYERS RISE T0 HEIGHTS Lazzeri’s Home Run Streak, Campbell’s Six Hits in One Game Top List. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. N SHARP contrast to the 1935 averages, which revealed Buddy I Myer as batting champion of the American League in addition to myriad other feats by Clark Griffith’s athletes, hitters of the Washington ball club cut little figure in computa- tion of the 1936 honor roll released today by the American League Service Bureau. Tony Lazzeri, veteran second base- man of the world champion Yankees who was supposed to bog down before the end of the season, and Bruce Campbell, Indian outfielder who ca- reer was supposed to have been ended by a third attack of spinal meningitis, accomplished the rarest feats of the campaign. Lazzeri was the only American Leaguer to hit three home runs in a game, doing it at Philadelphia on May 24, His feat followed a home run on May 21 and three in a double- heacer on May 23, thus giving the Yankee infielder a few major as well 8s American League records. The seven home runs in four consecutive games and six home runs in three con- secutive tilts established new major league marks while he tied another record of five homers in two games in sucoession. Campbell, taken to a hospital in Boston last May after recovering from two previous attacks of the dangerous illness during 1935, was thought to be finished as a ball player. Never- theless, Campbell came back and, in the first game of a double-header in St. Louis on July 2 he hit five singles and a double in six times at bat to drive across five runs. In the second game Campbell singled the first time up and then retired as he was not yet equal to working a double-header. Thus he became the only American | &, Leaguer to get six hits in six times at | bat in 1936. Stone Gets Five for Five. AZZERI, in addition to setting major league marks, established a new American League record for driv- ing in runs when he sent 11 over the plate on May 24. The former record was nine, being held by Jimmy Fox. Tony fell one short of tying the total base record of 16, held jointly by Lou Gehrig and Ty Cobb.

Forty-three times was the feat of making two home runs in a game re- corded, with Gehrig and Trosky top- ping the league with five such accom- plishments. Red Kress and Lewis were the only Griffmen to enter this select circle. Clif Bolton was. the hottest run- driver-in of the Washingtons for one game, knocking across six scores to tie with Bill Dickey, Wes Ferrell and Pinky Higgins at this number. Laz- zeri, however, set the pace with 11 and there were five cases of players accounting for seven runs. In driving out triples in a single game, Chapman and Stone shared the lead at two three-baggers, along with five others. —_— Federal Leégue First Series. 5] S50y o SEREZRR RS 2R35382528 Investigation Veterans' Adm.

BOY Long Amateur Ruler Here, Lou Joins Money Clan Tomorrow Night. BY BURTON HAWKINS. DIMINUTIVE, sharp - faced Jewish lad, comparatively un- known to patrons of Turner’s Arena, with a stinging south- paw sock that carved a wide swath in amateur ring circles, tomorrow night will take his first step into profes- sional ranks, and with local boxing as moldy as it now is, Washington's caulifiower colony probably will adopt him if he measures up to half the promise predicted for him. Fantastic as it may sound, Lou Gevinson, the mild-mannered gentle- man to whom we refer, stands an ex- cellent chance of making this bali- | wick fight-conscious. He is entering the paid clan at an opportune mo- ment, what with the failure of local larrupers to stand up under the fistic \gaff in recent months. Ringworms who have viewed Gevin- son in action have been impressed, | to put it mildly. Pete Reilly, who piloted Freddy Miller and four others | to the world featherweight cham- | plonship, was so enthused over the local simon-pure luminary that he offered Gevinson $1,000 to sign a con- tract. Benny Leonard, retired un- defeated world lightweight champion, is one of many who are closely con-| nected with the boxing business who| have predicted a brilliant future for | MANY fight follow that Gevinson perhaps was a bit fool- ish to reject Reilly’s offer. Reilly, oth- erwise known as the Silver Fox of Fis- | tiana, is a shrewd pilot who undoubt- | edly could have smoothed over some | of the bumps Lou will encounter |along the clouting trail. Lou, how- ever, elected to continue under the management of Matt Twomey, who discovered his punching prowess and | who is & clever manager in his own right. | Unmarked after nearly 80 amateur | | scraps, Gevinson possesses a stabbing | right paw which is followed by a/ | deadly left. Whether he can discard | amateur rules, remember to keep pumping in close and keep his chin | tucked in against more polished op.{ ponents is conjectural, but his apti- | tude for absorbing ring knowledge | | rapidly should stand him in good stead. Gevinson, developed carefully by Twomey over a period of five years, has lost but six scraps and has been floored but once. On that occasion he crawled from the canvas to win. has held local District and A. A. U. | Golden Gloves titles at 112, 118 and 126 | pounds, and has suffered five of hisI losses in national tournaments after advancing to the semi-finals or finals. | Mike Tardugno captured a dubious | decision in the local 193¢ Golden Gloves.

Lou has been train- ing faithfully with two teammates on | his amateur club, Bob Mathias and George Pickeral, National Guard | fighters, and is in excellent condition for his entrance into the paid clan. Country Baggett, a recent light- | heavyweight importation from Geor- gia, who has beaten such fighters as Joe Lipps, Carl Knowles, Leroy Brown, Battling Bozo, Rusty Baker | |and Jimmy Swimmer, will stack up against Tom Henry of Philadelphia in another promising six-rounder. Henry has trimmed Billy Ketchell and 5 Terry Mitchell among others. Other Bouts on Card.

Taylor and Bacala are from Baltimore, while Temes and Ingram have local ad- dresses.

Fineran Asks Co-operation. WHEN Reshevsky came to Washing- ton some weeks hark and was prepared to give local fans an evening of lightning chess-play it was obvious that certain groups in the city de- liberately shunned the attraction and pursued their snobbish ways, leaving a few generous-hearted souls holding the bag. ot course chicanery exists in some rather antiquated chess circles in the | Nation’s Capital, but the picayunish | coolness accorded the wearer of be- loved Frank Marshall's crown was | begotten by a racial odium and spawned by little minds. May it not be repeated! Although the third round of the Metropolitan Chess Association tour- nament is scheduled for the identical | night of Horowitz’s exhibition, Presi- |dent E. V. Fineran issues an official statement to the effect that the teams to play on December 3 will postpone | play until the following Thursday, | when 12 quintets will go into action | as a single fighting unit. Further, says President Fin- eran with a display of first-class sportsmanship, all team players and members of the association are requested to participate in the Horowitz pyrotechnics and give the visiting master a royal welcome. That's the spirit, Fineran, and my hat's off to you for this gesture of co-operation with the Jewish Com- munity Center and those chess lovers who 50 nobly have sacrificed their time and money that Washington might \nmv and time again have the privi- |lege of meeting over-the-board the rnl_x great American and European chess masters. | May presidents of other local chess clubs heed your excelient exampie. | International Ladies’ Tournament.
