Milt Has Sore Arm, Too. TKE Johnny Riddle, who was ac- quired earlier this month from Indianapolis and then shipped back, Gray has arm trouble. The differ- ence is that Griffith is aware of the kid’s ailment, whereas Riddle's bum | In the case of | Wwing was a surprise. Gray, however, it is not believed to be serious. “I'm sure he will be all right in a few days,” declared Griffith today. We won't use him immediately, but we'll get him into shape. He hasn't been playing for Baltimore lately, you know.” You didn’t know, but it develops that Gray came up with a sore arm in the midst of the Orioles’ losing streak at the start of the season, and the Balti- more management bought Buck Crouse, a veteran and former major leaguer. Not only was Crouse made regular catcher, but he was named manager. Thus the Orioles figured they could gamble on their catching without Gray's presence and agreed to give Griff a chance to look over the boy. Lanahan, Crompton Released. GRAY Joined the Orioles during the latter part of the 1936 season, after coming up from the Middle Atlantic League. He batted .327 for Johnstown in the smaller loop, but with Baltimore he hit for only .268. Milt still is green, however, and Grif- fith thinks the blond young giant has & chance to develop into a valuable man at the plate as well as behind it. He hits right-handed. To make room for Gray the boss man of Griffith & Co. last night re- leased Catcher Herb Crompton to Chattanooga and with him Pitcher Dick Lanahan. Neither was doing the Washington club any good sitting on the bench, and Griffith thinks that with steady work in the Southern Association both may develop into major leaguers. Lanahan particularly needs action. Dick has plenty of stuff, but he must learn control. Even when he is work- ing steadily he is wild and when he is used only once every two weeks in a relief role he has no chance. Tigers Sweep Series, 3 to 1. EANWHILE, while Griff was tak- ing steps to strengthen what ap- parently is regarded as the Achilles heel of the club, the Nationals slipped from fifth to sixth place in the league standing by losing, 3 to 1, to the ‘Tigers. It gave the Detroits a clean &weep of the two-game series and marked the first set the Griffs have lost since their last Western trip. A wild throw by Shortstop Cecil Travis in the second inning permitted two runs to score and proved the difference between Buck Newsom and Roxie Lawson, who won his seventh game of the year. With two out Travis picked up Lawson's grounder and threw the ball into the dirt, Walker and English scoring to overcome a 1-0 lead taken by the Nats in the first inning. The only earned run off Newsom came in the seventh inning when Mickey Cochrane doubled, took third on a sacrifice by Goslin, and scored when Greenberg hit into a double play. Cochrane led the 10-hit attack of the Tigers with three singles and & double. White Sox Invade Today. White Sox, only American \™ League entry that has not been displayed this year at Griffith Sta- dium, finally were to be unveiled this afternoon in the opener of a three- game series. This set will wind up the Nats’ activities at home for the week. Jimmy De Shong was to seek his fifth win of the season for Wash- ington and Ted Lyons was expected to pitch for the Chisox. The Sox are little changed from the sutfit which captured third place in the race last year. Luke Sewell still is doing the catching and the old in- field of Zeke Bonura, Jackie Hayes, Luke Appling and Tony Piet is hold- ing forth again. Only in the outfield have any changes been made, Rookie Larry Steinbacher breaking into the line-up from time to time. Mike Kreevich, Dixie Walker and Rip Rad- cliffe have been patroling lately, how- ever, and probably will play during the current series. Like the local gang, the Sox have been disappointing to date. Of the pitchers only- Monty Stratton has clicked consistently and the right- handed batting punch which enabled them to surprise in 1936 has not been in evidence often. - STUHLDREHER IS PAPA.

YANKEES RESUME TORRID 193 PACE | Continue Batting Rampage, Gain Lead—Bucs Oust Hubbell, but Lose. BY BILL BONI, Associated Press Sports Writer. KING who still rules, though his throne tottered dangerously and a gang of marauders once again threatening to rip apart the American League, furnished base ball's biggest news today. The king is Carl Hubbelll The marauders are the Yankees, walkaway champions in the junior circuit last season and now, with their team bat- ting eye regained, back on top of the heap with a full game advantage over the Philadelphia Athletics, who dropped an 8-6 verdict to the Browns. Hubbell, credited with the Giants’ 4-3 defeat of the National League- |leading Pirates yesterday, thereby added the twenty-third pearl to his unbroken string of league triumphs. But the master faltered toward the end. gave up 8 of the Bucs’ 10 hits in the last four innings and had to be rescued in the last of the ninth by beefy Dick Coffman, who fanned Johnny Dickshot with two out and the bases loaded. Yanks Batter Indians. 'HROUGH their victory the Giants moved into a virtual tie with the second-place and idle Cardinals. The Yanks, meanwhile, ousted the A’s from the American League lead by battering the Indians into 14-0 sub- mission. For the fourth day in succession the Ruppert Rifles gave evidence they are no longer fooling. In four days they have won as many games, rolled up 39 runs and collected 58 hits. The only item they slipped up on yester- day, while Spurgeon Chandler was pitching a six-hitter for his second straight shutout, was home runs. There wasn't a single four-bagger among their 16 hits, the first time in eight games they failed in that specialty. Another streak ended in Washing- the Senators, 3-1, Tiger Gerald Walker failed to hit for the first time since the start of the season. Roxie Law- son, 6-foot right-hander, hung up his seventh victory of the year—a total equaled only by the peerless Hubbell, Foxx Paces Red Sox. ‘HE Red Sox, with Jimmy Foxx's homer and two doubles pacilg a 14-hit attack that gave veteran Rube Walberg his first win, jumped from seventh place to the head of the sec- ond division by trimming the White ton, where, though the Tigers beat |La By BURTON HAWKINS HE reason Knocky .Thomas, the Maryland catcher who was signed by Clark Griffith and shipped to Trenton, didn't complete his college educa- tion before entering the paid clan is that Knocky is married . . . and has been for nearly two years . . . he couldn't pass up the chance of trying to get there earlier for the sake of the little woman.

OOD news for the junior and boy tennis players of the District was forthcoming today with the announce- ment by The Star that their competi- tion in the City of Washington tour- nament has been postponed until June 19. The original date for the start of the tourney was June 5, but The Star acquisced to many requests for a delay until after the schools close. It was impossible to set a date later than June 19, however, inasmuch as the Middle Atlantic tournament for Jjuniors and boys at Norfolk, for which semi-finalists in The Star tournament automatically qualify, starts the fol- lowing week, June 25. Only little more than two days re- main before the deadline falls on en- tries for the City of Washington men’s tournament which starts Satur- day. Although there may be several ranking players out of town over next week-end, no change in date was possible, due to the crowded schedule of the local season. Entrants are urged to send in their this afternoon.

"POPPING OfF™ fan. = Accent on Youth. our Mister C. C. Griffith when he announced the acquisition of Catcher Milton Gray from Baltimore and gave the kid a little stock send-off. | THERE was a threat of more and rapid developments in the tone of “We think he's the best young catching prospect in the minors,” said the old gentleman, adding, “but even if he isn't, they can't hang us for trying to land something good. If we can grab enough good-logking kids we might come up with one pitcher or a catcher or both.” It develops that “we” embraced Mr. Joe Engel, the throaty lone scout of the Washington club, and further, it seems that Mr. Engel has been ordered afresh to comb the highways and byways of the bushes and send the Nats nearly everybody who is under 25 and who wears either a toe-plate or a mask. This, of course, isn't very surprising, for the Washingtons have been looking very earnestly for pitchers and catchers for some seasons now. There was nothing particularly specific abaut the hunt, however, and into | the National fold trickled an uneven flow of recruits who chiefly you recall Griff«r veterans. In fact, saying last season that in these days | of limited minor league stock a ball club could afford to grab the average | bush-league veteran, as long as he| had a good arm, and string along with him. The way he was talking today, though, he seemed to make it very emphatic that is was young talent only that would trickle in from now on. His acquisition of Gray, who is only 21 and fresh from the Middle Atlantic League, bears it out. Gray probably isn't ready for the big leagues, according to the old standards, but Connie Mack has done pretty well so far withya lot of kids | who weren't supposed to be ripe. Storm Rages in "Nooga. RIOR to announcing the purchase of an option on Gray, the Nats shipped away a pair of youngsters, Dick Lanahan and Herb Crompton, but this need not necessarily alter the argument. Lanahan is a wild young pitcher who obviously needs more polish, and the same holds for Cromp- ton, a catcher. In fact, Griff thinks both will be back next year. Both Lanahan and Cromp- ton go to Chattanooga, where for the last week a storm of protest to Griffith has been raging. If there is any town that regards the failure of its ball club in the light of a civic calamity, it is Chattanooga, and the next-to-last position of the Lookouts has brought abuse down on the head of the Old Fox. Editorials have been written of late, claiming that Griff has been negligent in pro- viding the Chattanoogas with talent. All this, however, hardly is the chief reason why Griff parted with Lanahan and Crompton. If he in- tended to make contenders of the Lookouts with a few moves he could have sent an older, more experienced pitcher—and Shanty Hogan instead of Crompton. Instead, Lanahan goes to cure his wildness, with a view to coming back next year and replacing the older pitcher and the same goes for Cromp- ton.. And Hogan, to hear Griff, is fairly certain of a long tenure with the Nationals. Shanty Here to Stay. “HE'LL catch now and then to keep in shape,” explained the old gent, “but chiefly he’ll coach young pitchers and catchers. Shanty is a good fellow to have around for this kind of thing. He's got a lot of per-| sonality and he knows base ball pretty well.” Inasmuch as there aren’t many young pitchers around with Lanahan gone, it becomes more apparent that were Griff expects big things of his Mr. Engel, who never has dug up much in the way of pitchers. In the end it is all very ap- parent, too, that Griff regards his pitching today not only as inadequate but as promising no future. Only two, Jimmy De Shong and Eddie Linke, are likely to improve as time goes on and it is with a helpless attitude that Griff looks to Chatta- | nooga or any other farm club for help. “They (Chattanooga) haven't got anybody,” insists Griff. “The best prospect down there is Ken Chase, that left-handed kid, and we know he's too green. That Harry Kelly fizzled and that left hander every- body liked in Orlando—what was his name, Hayes?—has been sent to Charlotte.” Gray Opposite of Riddle. OUTS!DE of watching him in two exhibition games this Spring neither Griff nor Manager Bucky Harris knows much about Gray, but they are willing to accept the recom- mendation of Engel. The last catcher Joe sent to Washington was Johnny Riddle, who was 30 years old, wore a brace on one knee and had an elbow so full of chipped bones that, under the X-ray, it resembled a gravel pit. It might be that Riddle is the last veteran minor leaguer Washington will grab in some time. The Nats were eminently success- ful with this species last year. They tried Pete Appleton, who had failed with four other big league clubs, and he won 14 games and lost only 9. But this season Pete hasn't struck the same stride. Neither has Joe Cas- carella, who has been in and out of the majors a few times. Beth still figure to help be- fore this season is over, but Griff seems to have modified his stand as to the wisdom of making a practice of banking too heavily on experienced batterymen.

LOCAL naval officer today was receiving credit for the dee velopment of her game by Mary Greason, pretty George ‘Washington University student, whose rapid rise toward the top of women's tennis here has been the cmtstanding feature of The Star’s City of Wash ton tournament, now in its quarter= | final stages at the 16th Street Resere voir courts As the scene prepared to shift to the Edgemoor b tomorrow and Thurse day for the semi-final and final rounds, Miss Greason modestly laid all credit for her superior play at the hands of Capt. Chester W. Nimitz of the United States Navy and captain of the Navy Leech Cup team. “Capt. Nimitz was stationed in Honolulu some years ago at the time I first took up the game,” Miss Greason explained. “He became interested in my tennis and used to play with me every day. He discovered that my backhand was weak and immediately concentrated on it to such an extent that the fault was corrected before 1% got very far. But he also taught me the fine points of the whole game, ard it is to him, more than any one else that I owe what little success I've had.” Is Successful Here. N TWO days Miss Greason seems o | = have had more than a e suc- cess” in The Star tourname: This | afternoon was to find her ying a | quarter-final match against Edith Mc- | Culloch, seventh-ranking player of the District, and should she come through, | as expected, she be in the semi- finals of the first tourname; e ever played east of the Pacific Coast. If dope runs true to form, her op- ponent tomorrow then would be the District champion, Mary Cootes, but Miss Cootes faced an opponent today who already has two seeded players as her victims in this tournament. It was Anna Ellis, Chevy Chase Club's prom- ising young star, that the D. C. title- holder was called upon to face before claiming a berth in the semis. Both Miss Cootes and Miss Greason | breezed through matches yesterday in | impressive style. Called upon to play two matches within an hour, Miss Cootes stopped Helen Davis—who bore an amazing resemblance to her rival— 6—1, 6—2, and then eliminated Mary Bouve with the loss of even one less | game, 6—2, 6—0. Meanwhile, Miss Greason was raising the evebrows of any skeptics in the crowd with a surprising but dev-" astating triumph over Lillian Rixey, former junior star, with the loss of | but one game. It came in the second | set after the Greason lass had taken | the first at Jove. Outclassed, but game | to the end, the little Rixey girl worked | her heart out, but all in vain. Much | too powerful, the winner finished as ° | cool and unperturbed as when she started. Miss Greason's opponentr tod Edith McCulloch, meanwhile was having her hands full stopping Elinor Finckel, 6—3, 10—8. Old Foes Battle.
