ALFOESFAUT ONPLAYTODATE Club Tours After Tussles ! With A’s—Bosox Humbled by Appleton. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. HE Nats blew into town again today and prepared to blow right out again after a tradi- tional Memorial day celebra- tion against the Athletics in Grif- fith Stadium. They return and thence head westward with no definite as- surance of functioning more smoothly, but at least with the knowledge that most of their forthcoming rivals are | faring no better. | The A’s, slated to ride into the stadium for a double-header today, are not the onrushing youngsters of a couple weeks ago. His pitchers fal- tering, Connie Mack has watched his | surprises of April and early May wilt and drop from the lead into the | second division. In Detroit, first stop of the Griffs in the West, there is no joy, with Mickey Cochrane #till bedridden in a hospital. The Indians, after a brief spurt recently, have settled back to a dan- | gerously close to .500 pace again| and the White Sox, like the Nats,| have yet to untrack themselves. And even in the Grifs' darkest hours | the Browns have struck no fear. Appleton Shows New Promise. PL’I‘E APPLETON, who had been | chained in the doghouse ever since the campaign opened, emo}ed new eclat today as the Nats piled out of their Pullman berths this morning after a Boston invasion that was something less than successful. That it was not a complete flop was due to Pietro, who finally broke the ice and not only went the route but won in convincing fashion. It was his first victory of the year as a starting pitcher and the Griffs opti- mistically saw fit to interpret Pete's 11-to-4 victory in Boston yesterday as a harbinger of better times. There is a reasonable vein run- ning through this optimism if only because the dope sheet on Appleton es a major leaguer reveals that it was not until this time a year ago that Pete came into his own and pitched the most effective ball of any Washington hurler. He fig- ures, with his sharp-breaking curve, to be a great Spring pitcher, but not until June of 1936 did he help the| Nats and this may be the case again. At any rate, with Pete holding one Win as a starter under his belt, Wash- ington's chances of climbing out of seventh place appear notably better. Bolton Rejoins Griffs. JITH their return home today the * Nats fell heir to a fourth mem- ber of the catching staff in Clif Bol- ton, who came out of another retire- ment last Saturday and reported to Owner Clark Griffith. Plans call for Clif to be carried on the Western swing, but beyond this the vision of all except possibly Griffith and Man- eger Bucky Harris fades. Luck seems to be playing into Clif's hands, however, and not t > most surprising development would be Bol- ton’s winning the regular catching Job, after all. With the exception of Bhanty Hogan the bolting Tarheel probably can receive and throw as well as either of the others, who, of course, are Walter Millies and Rookie I1ilt Gray. And CIlif, although his big league batting record doesn't shout the rating out loud, is acknowledged by base ball men as a far more dan- (See STAN, Page A- Griffs’ Records BATTING. dnke __ tone -a o o g 5 & g } 'S DU DI D1 IR = orosamics EE T i e o' BRARBNINE il Mihalic Chapm’'n Simmons Millies Bington Fischer Cascar'lla Hogan Newsom Weaver__ Py Jre<1 [SFRet-tth .xu:;.‘;ma S 1A DD DR DD DS L Sumins [ JUIPEEP ©553-525550u55-uD 190 5nSH Cohen___ T .. 3 g NI BO o200 ey ffl Q 't ) ©9 @ 3 vz 2% Re- devotees.

Mr. Collins did not see the late papers, said Mr. Collins, until yesterday | afternoon before the Red Sox and the surprised,” began Eddie, kind of a statement come from Harris. So Boston didn't want to trade, huh? Well, I'll speak a few words now. “We offered Harris a real deal. The Red Sox offered two regular players in a two-for- two trade. And what did Washington do? Well, they turned it down. And offered a lot of junk instead. “Up to now,” continued Eddie, “I haven't cracked anything on a pos- | sible deal, but if that's the comment raised I want the truth out. We of- fered a perfectly reasonable deal— two men needed by the Senators in exchange for two men who might help Boston. That is the set-up as it stands now and don't let anybody tell you differently Millies Probably Best Catcher. RUMORS flew thick and fast while the Griffs were in Boston. The names of Rick Ferrell and Ben Chap- | man and Fritz Ostermueller were mentioned most prominently. Nobody denied the consideration of these names, but apparently there was no Chapman-for-Ferrell-and Os-- termueller deal seriously mentioned. | Collins refused to divulge the names of players, but it is no secret that Washington wants Catcher Ferrell and Boston wants Chapman. The Nats, naturally, don’t want to part with Chapman, who probably is as good a ball player as anybody on the club. But there is, on the one hand, a state of catching affairs that is something less than satis- factory. Walter Millies probably is the most capable backstop of the quartet now in uniform . . . for all-around pur- poses. Clif Bolton is a question mark. Shanty Hogan's lack of abil- | ity to move around has not pleased his bosses and Milt Gray has not shown himself to be much of a hitter and thrower. Ostermueller is one of those broken pitching promises. He has been with League Statistics MONDAY, MAY 31, 1937, AMERICAN. RESULTS YEsTEnnAY.

Until the Nats whipped them yes- terday thev had marched steadily | into the first division and boasted their longest winning streak—five in a row—of any Yawkey-owned team. Gene De Sautels, a former Detroit | catcher, filled Ferrell's shoes in fine fashion. This department's guess is Boston wants Chapman and Bolton for Ostermueller and Rick Ferrell and that nothing will be done in a hurry, if at all and Eddie are sniffing. Trivia, Ete. ‘HE Nats seem to have the sign on Joe Cronin . . . With a fine dis- regard for Joe's .400 batting average the Washington pitchers, who couldn't get anybody else out consistently, held Cronin hitless during the entire three- “0 for 11.” Pete Appleton, sorrowfully recalling his twin failures to win a ball game as starting pitcher and get a base hit, said recently: “I guess when I get my first hit I'll get my first win.” . In Boston yesterday Pete sin- gled his first time at bat, drove across two runs for a 2-0 lead, and went on to win and collect a triple and two more singles « + . Pete drove across six runs and scored another himself. The Red Sox, in expressing willing- ness to trade Catcher Rick Ferrell, apparently have no serious pennant ideas . . . they would be content to get Chapman from the Nats and wait until either Skeets Dickey or George Peacock, catching in the minors, de- velop.

EW YORK, May 31 —Two pole | vaulters who approach the | awesome mark of 15 feet, a quarter-miler who indiffer- ently runs a 47-second 440, a relay team caught in 3:12.3 for the mile and & new 220-yard low-hurdles record have left track fans, especially those statistically minded, gasping for breath. Along with these individual feats, | Saturday, went two of the closest team | competitions the intercollegiate | A. A.

Hucker's new mark is 23.2, which eclipses A. C. Kraenzlein's mark made for the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in 1898. LYNCH IS NAVY ACE Missourian Only Middy to Gain Three N Stars This Year. ANNAPOLIS, May 31.— Frank Lynch of Missouri, who plays tackle on the Navy eleven and center on the basket ball five, and who won firsts in the shot and discus events against the Army Saturday, is the only mid- shipman who scored three “N stars” during the present academic year. This award is given only to those who take part in a victory over Army, and the feat of scoring three in one vear has been accomplished but sel- dom by a midshipman. Buzz Borries achieved it in 1935 by taking part in winning foot ball, basket ball and base ball games. | As the Navy lost the base ball game, Bill Ingram did not win his fourth “N star,” so that Lynch now is a | formidable rival for the Athletic As- sociation sword next year. It was won by Ingram this year.

Sington’s Reward Earned Here, Too BY FRANCIS E. STAN. "FREDDIE SINGTON DAY” at Griffith Stadium today found the one-time foot ball great of Ala- bama not only due to be honored as a minor league star, but battling for a big league job. Between the games with the Athletics this afternoon Sington was to be presented with the Sport- ing News Trophy, given in recogni- tion of Fred being named the most valuable player in the Southern Association last year. He led that loop in batting with a .384 mark. Fred, a reserve outfielder, also was due to play at least one of the games in place of Johnny Stone, who still is bothered with a pulled leg muscle. In Boston the big fellow did & good job of subbing. throng that witnessed the battle yesterday be- tween the Fort Stevens and Costello Post teams, which was won by the latter, and (above) one of a group of comely cyclists that can be seen every Suud{m pedaling about the parkways in the search for health, happiness—and slimmer figures. —Stm' S[afl Photm. YANKEES IMPRESS INTENNISVIGTORY Seem Keen Enough to Have | Beaten Australians at Full Strength. Br the Associated Pres OREST HILLS, N. Y., May American tennis followe 31— Harold Steffe of the Procurement team and specialist demon- strates the slab form he employs for his hard, high one for the benefit of his 3'5-year-old admirer, Patricia Chambers—and the photog- something of a strikeout rapher. Just a section These spectators the Ap*ntr’d play. loca was feathe champion of Div National Pena on the polic have their fingers crossed to- | day, s0 far as Davis Cup pros- pects for 1937 are concerned, but there's no question that current hopes have soared higher than in years as a result of the rout of the Australians in the latest international test for our racquet-swinging youth. With this afternoon’s closing pair of singles matches amounting to nothing more than exhibitions, after the third and deciding victory yes- terday by the doubles team of Don Budge and Gene Mako, speculation focused upon the Eurcpean objectives. Victory Is Impressive. 'I‘H“ fact that Australia was far short of its full strength, due to illness that put ace, Adrian Quist, out of competition, took considerable glamour from America's one-sided triumphs. Nevertheless, the red-headed Budge, together with the successful debut of Bryan (Bitsy) Grant in the Davis Cup “big time,” was sufficiently impressive to warrant optimism for the forthcoming Euro- pean campaign. All hands expect Germany the “team to beat.” The Teulons | teaturing Baron Gottfried von Cramm, | are favored to cmerge as the European zone finalists. They are rated stronger opposition than the cup-holding Brit- ish, defending the trophy this year without the great Fred Perry, who turned professional last Winter, “We feel this is our best opportu- nity in years to bring back the cup | from Europe,” said Walter L. Pate, America’s non-| pla31ng captain. Regret Foe's Illness. PATE expressed the general feeling of American regret that the Aus- tralians were so badly handicapped by illness that they muld not put their strongest team on the courts. Last year with Quist in the line-up with | Jack Crawford, the Australians beat America 3—2. Rated off their two-day perform- ances, however, Budge and company appeared strong enough to cope with the Australians, even if the latter had been at full strength. Against Craw- ford. Budge looked unbeatable and there was rarely any doubt about the | doubles outcome as the red-head paired with Mako to trounce Crawford and Vivian McGrath yesterday, 7—35, 6—1, 8—6. In today's competition, Budge was bracketed with Jack Bromwich, 18- year-old substitute for Quist, in the first match, at 1 pm. (E. S. T). Grant winds up the series zgainsb Crawford.
