CAVEWONAFTER WEAVER TOTTERS Two-Run Clusters Are Made With Two Away—Newsom Is Flashy Finisher. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, 8tafl Correspondent or The Star. HATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 10.—The Nationals preached the impeortance of retiring three hitters to end an inning today and illustrated their gospel as they made it two victories in a row over their Chattanoogo *“cousins,” 5to 2. Forced to come from behind to win, | Bucky Harris' outfit coined a three- run rally in the fourth inning, after two were out and wound up in the ninth by staging another rally after | the side was two-thirds retired. Prof. Monte Weaver was not quite a8 instructive as formerly on the mound today and the Lookouts hopped on him for & 2-0 lead as early as the third inning. Indeed, Prof. Weaver Wwas extremely fortunate that he escaped 8o easily. When he left the premises, however, he turned over a 3-2 lead to Buck Newsom and the rest was just a breeze for Breezy. The Washingtons were outhit by their farmhands, 9 to 8, with Peck Bazner, a right-hander, and Kirby Hayes, a southpaw, in the box for the Lookout Mountain boys. The victory was No. 13 for the Griffs in 20 exhibition starts and gave them a 2-to-1 edge over Chattanooga for the Spring. Today's game marked the first stop of the Nats on their way North. Weaver Has His Troubles. \\/'EA\ ER, wild at the start, handed out two costly walks to McFar- land and Bensmiller to open the game and then got a tough break when Umpire Steve Basil ruled that Taft Wright had beaten Cecil Travis' throw to first base on a double-play ball. The throw seemed to have Wright beaten a full step, but Basil ruled ctherwise and Mac- | Farland reached third, Wright stayed | at first, and only one was out. At this point Jimmy Wasdell bounced | a double off the right-field fence, | scoring MacFarland and placing Wright on third o | Weaver, bidding for the opening- game assignment, got & grip on him- self and breezed third strikes past Bobby Estalella and Jimmy Blood- worth to end the inning. The Griffs, meanwhile, were help- less against Bazner for the first | three innings. The 'Nooga right- | hander faced only nine over this | stretch and his mates, in the mean- | time, had hopped on Weaver again | in the third frame and banged out four hits to score another run. It was only a great throw by Al Simmons that ended this rally in costly fashion | for the Lookouts. With one down Bensmiller and | Wright singled. Wasdell went down swinzing, but Estalella scratched a lucky hit to Weaver, scoring Bens- miller. A scorching single to left bounced off Bloodworth’s bat, but Simmons took the ball on the first | bounce and whipped a long throw | to S8hanty Hogan at the plate to nab Wright. Griffmen Get Busy. THAT virtually ended the Lookouts’ offensive gestures for the after- noon and the Griffs began to peck at | 4 the plate. In the fourth, after Chap- man had fanned, Lewis singled and | moved up when Kuhel grounded out. Lewis took third on a wild pitch 1o Simmons and scored when Johnny Stone inserted a single to right. On this hit S8immons moved to third and | scored on another wild pitch while | Travis was hitting. This tied it up. but the Griffs weren't finished. Travis picked out & good pitch and banged it to right field, scoring, Stone and sending the Washingtons ahead, 3-2. Newsom took over the National pitching in the seventh and had no trouble. Showing a better fast ball | than he has exhibited so far this | Spring, Buck gave up only one hit, & single by Wright in the eighth, and | was not noticeably lacking in control. Hayes, who relieved Bazner in tha sixth, did all right until the flnal‘ inning, when, with two out, Stone looped a single to right and Traus doubled to left. Johnny stopping ur‘ third. Myer walked to fill the bases | and Walter Millles pumped a single to center for two more runs. RED SOX SLUG AP APPLE Slam Three Atlanta Hurlers, Win 6-4—Walberg Goes Route. ATLANTA, April 10 (#)—The Red Sox pounded three Atlanta pitchers for 11 hits, including five two-baggers and Mike Higgins’ homer, today while turn- ing back the Southern Association champions, 6-4. The Red Sockers, with Bob Daugh- ters holding down Manager Joe Cro- nin’s shortstop berth, put on a four- run rally against Jim Lindsay, former Cardinal pitcher, in the sixth, when Doc Cramer and Jimmy Foxx doubled, Fabian Gaffke was passed and Higgins poled out his circuit drive. Rube Walberg went the distance for the Bostons and held the Crackers to three hits until he weakened in the stretch.

Weather Fickle to Braddock Frozen, Then Quagmired Roads Prevent Champ From Doing Any Road Work. By the Associated Press. TONE LAKE, Wis, April 10.—Warmer weather came to the North woods country where Jimmy Braddock fis conditioning himself for a defense of his title against Joe Louls, but it only served 'to keep the world heavyweight champion from doing any road work. ‘When the temperature was low, the roads were frozen, the treacher- ous ruts being too much of a hazard for the champion to risk. The thaw converted the roads into quagmires, so Braddock ocould do no jogging. 4 The natives said that with con- tinuing warm weather the roads should be dry enough in a few days for the champion to get out on them. Braddock had to contegt him- self with more timber cutting and piled up a sizesble stack of chips today. The blisters his axe raised the first few days of his efforts were healing rapidly, Braddock and his sparring mates are living on the Karl Ogren estaie on Little Lake Sissabagsma. ~ LAKE SHORE CLUB ‘Michigan Second in A. A. U, Mrs. Pinckney Wetherall (ri plate from Mrs WINS SWIMTITLE Meet as Tiger Relay Is Disqualified. By the Associated Press. EW HAVEN, Conn, April 10 —After a protracted hud- dle involving judges, coaches and advisory officials, the Lake | 8hore Athletic Club team of Chicago { tonight emerged from the National A. A. U. men’s senior swimming and diving championshipe with its second straight team title. Disqualification of Princeton in the concluding 300-yard medley relay for an illegal jump on the last leg put the Lake Shore trio of Adolph Kiefer, Gustave Horschke and Jay Brown in first place, and added 10 points to the Chicagoans’ score for a total of 27. | The University of Michigan, placing | third in the revised standings behind Harvard, scored 26 points for second | place. Almost all the excitement of the three-day meet was reserved for the final night. In addition to the bit- ter, half-hour-long dispute over the relay placings, there had been upsets in the two earlier finals, Haynie Starts Upsets. IN THE first Tom Haynie, sopho- more member of the Michigan team and national collegiate 220 and 440 yard champion, whipped John Macionis of Yale and Ralph Flana- | gan, 19-year-old favorite from the | Miami-Biltmore Swimming Club, for | the 500-yard free-style crown. In the second the upset-scorer was Al Patnik, the slim, 21-year-old blond lad whose home is in Pittsburgh. He is an Ohio State freshman and com- peted unattached. Surprise winner of the one-meter spring board dive on Thursday night, Patnik came through this evening to win the 10- foot championship with a great dis- | play of form and finesse. Princeton was prevented from mak- ing it three straight upsets through its disqualification. Michigan had entertained high hopes of adding to its N. C. A. A. team title the national laurels. Had Prince- ton’s finish, timed in 2:55 flat, as com= pared to Lake Bhore's 2:55.1, been de- clared official, it would have cost Lake 8hore 5 points, for 22 total, and Mich- igan only 2, for 24.

By the Associated Press. EW HAVEN, Conn., April 10. —To the average landlub- ber, the butterfly is an in- sect, trapped, if you are lucky, with a net in an open field of a sunny day. But in the Yale University pool, where the National A. A. U. senior men’s swimming and diving cham- pionships were decided, it's some- thing else again. Here, the butterfly is part of the breast stroke. For the gocd, solid, conservative old breast stroke no longer is the style with which your mother used to get places surely, if not speedily. The modern American employers of the breast stroke—Johhny Hig- gins, who retained his 220-yard % title in this event last night, for one—don’t just push their arms forward and sweep them back. They bring them up and over like an eight-oared crew in reverse, and the pace they hit is terriffic. The Americans have been swim- ming that way ever since a lad who was disgusted with his progress old-style hit on the butterfly varia- tion shortly after the Los Apgeles Olympic games in 1932, Immediately there was great fuss and furore. Indignant pro- tests were filed with the Inter- national Swimming Pederation. ‘The federation, however, ruled the stroke legal. Over in Japan, where swimming has become & highly-developed art, they stick to the old style, having developed it to near-per- fection on the basis of the casi- off American methods. But Jspan has heard of the butterfly, and is eager to see it. Higgins is the country’s best exponent of the stroke. He was fourth in the Olympics last vear and holds the national indoor ard outdoor titles. So the Japanese would like to examine his style this Summer. “And if they do, and he bes's ‘em with it,” adds Bob Kiphutn, Yale coach and 1036 Olymp.c coach, “or ¥ any American bea's ‘em with it between now and the ‘Tokio games in 1940, you can bet they'll turn right around and start butterflying.”
