Pop Bottles Fly as Yanks Win, 5-4 : Bu £3 ’ Humor, Trouble and Defeat for Nats Mark Hot Battle With Pace-Setting Yankees POWELL IS TARGET OF RATENATFANS Left Fielder Is Showered After Felling Kuhel to Get Decisive Run. BY: FRANCIS E. STAN. TRIKING a lethal one-two punch to the body of First Baseman Joe Kuhel for a clean knock- down, Outfielder Jake Powell of the Yanks yesterday raced to second base, thence home with the winning Tun in a 5-to-4 battle with the Nats, and, lastly, to villainous immegtality with that leathery species of base ball fan who sits in judgment in the bleachers. Unanimously branding the one-time Griffman guilty of deliberately crash- ing into Kuhel in a ninth-inning play at first base, Griffith Stadium's bleacherites bombarded Powell's station in left field with a glistening, menacing barrage of pop battles in what nearly amounted to a riot. The game was held up for fully 10 minutes while Powell, openly defiant, strutted out of range and caused um- pires to announce over the loudspeakers that unless the glass shower was halted the Washington firm would be penal- ized. Umpire-in-Chief Lou Kolls de- clared that if bottles were thrown at any Yankee outfielder during the Nats’ half of the ninth the batter automati- cally would be called out on grounds of interference. Kuhel Hurled to Ground. THE game was tied at 4-4 when Powell touched off the explosion One was out in the Yanks' ninth when Jake hit an easy grounder to Third Baseman Buddy Lewis. Taking the ball, Lewis threw to Kuhel, pulling the first sacker off the bag. Powel was out by many feet. how- ever, and Kuhe] elected to touch him With the ball as he sped by. Then, in & manner reminiscent of the time he collided with Hank Greenberg of the | Tigers a year ago, Powell struck Kuhel solidly. Joe. knocked several feet, fell and was badly shaken. The ball bounded out of his hands and Powell continued to second base. A roar of boos greeted the act. Kuhel, after a few moments rest, was able to continue play and Jake tempo- rarily was forgotten as Relief Pitcher 8yd Cohen valiantly attempted to tombat this menace to his performance, He intentionally walked ‘Tony Lazzeri and, while Pinch-hitter Charley Ruffing was batting for Johnny Murphy, the southpaw picked Lazzeri ©ff first for the second out. Pop Bottles Spray Field. i done, Cohen was ordered to pass Ruffing also and pitch to the Wweak-hitting Don Heffner, but the strategy went haywire when the sub- stitute shortstop looped a lazy single to eenter, scoring Powell with the deci- &ive run. All the bitterness of the bleacherites then broke loose as Powell trotted to feft fleld for the Nats' half of the Inning. The shirt-sieeved clients in the sun stand rose to their feet and | C started a boo in unison that increased In tempo until it was almost deafen- Ing. Powell walk out and gestured his defiance. Then it happened. Sailing almost unseen against the sky, a bottle whizzed near Powell's head. Then an- other. Finally, a veritable torrent of them poured down at the feet of the home-town boy who, in his own back yard, succeeded in creating the most bitter protest by local fans in recent years, Powell Defies Bleacherites. POWF.LL hands on hips, stood still and faced the aroused gallery. Teammates rushed to his side, glanc- ing fearfully at the bleachers, and Umpire Bill McGowan tugged at Powell's shirt sleeve and tried to make him leave the scene. At one stage it looked as if McGowan was persuad- ing Jake to leave the game, but Man- ager Joe McCarthy of New York rushed out at the umpire’'s gesture and made it plain that he wanted Powell to finish the inning. McCarthy had no one else to play at the time. Meanwhile, the Griffs were whipped, as far as that game was concerned. They went out in 1-2-3 order in their half of the inning, while Frank Makosky was pitching, and failed even to lift a ball to the outfield, which had been cleared in left by the Yanks, umpires and a lone member of the ground crew. Powell himself joined in this work by throwing the bottles against the concrete stands in deep left and spraying glass all over the premises. “We'll Make it Up,” Nats Mutter. SO THREATENING was the attitude of the crowd that when the final out was made the Yanks waited for Powell and encircled Lim as he made his way to the dugout steps. Boos fol- lowed him and scorecards were flung &t the New Yorkers, but there was no further heaving of glassware. Even when Powell had showered and dressed he found a threatening mob waiting at the entrance, but Jake strutted in company of three other Yanks and outside of heckling the boy from Silver Bpring no demonstration was made. In their dressing room the Nats bit- terly accused Powell of “dirty base bell” and there were murmurs of “we'll make it up.” “He did the same thing to Greenberg last year when he was with us,” one of them said. “He deliberately broke Greenberg's wrist and he almost did the same thing to Kuhel.” The defeat was a bitter pill to the Griffs for they had come from behind to tie up the game in the sixth in- ning, after the Yanks had built up a 4-t0-1 lead against Monte Weaver. Yanks Get Three Homers. THE PROFESSOR did not pitch a . bad game, but the Yanks made it appear as if he were throwing what the boys call a “gopher ball.” When hit it would “go for” extra bases. Of the seven hits made by the New York- ers, only one was a single. And that was Heffner's blow which sent Powell across with the winning run. Three (Bee POWELL, Page A-13) WASHINGTON, D.

July 3 —The American open cham- pion, Ralph Guldahl, revelling | in another miraculous put- | ting streak, and Henry Cotton tonight were established joint favorites for the British open golf tournament starting Monday.

YANKEE 8TH TIME America’s Cup Candidate Sets New Record on Tri- angular Course. By the Associated Press. EWPORT. R. 1. July 3.—Rang- | er. Harold S. Vanderbilt's un- | defeated candidate for the de- fense of the America’s Cup, soored her eighth straight victory to- day by defeating Gerard B. Lambert's | Yankee. Ranger’s margin at the end of a 30- mile triangular course was 14 minutes and 26 seconds. By finishing in 2 hours 43 minutes 43 seconds she set a new record. The defense aspirants raced over | the course on which T. O. M. Sop- with, British challenger. will open his second bid for the trophy July 31 with Endeavour II. Light air delayed the start. The 12-mile southeasterly breeze veered almost enough to permit the competi- tors to fetch the 10-mile mark. Both were compelled only to take shoni hutches to round the buoy. Almost from the start the Yankee went into a slump which discouraged | even her warmest adherents. She | sagged off to leeward so seriously that observers quickly discounted her | chance of winning and it became only & question of how badly she would be | beaten. At the first mark Ranger led by more than 10 minutes. The next 10-mile leg gave the boats a reach and Ranger widened her lead to more than 12 minutes and on the broad reach home Ranger added more than 2 min- utes to her lead over the veteran of the 1930 and 1934 cup campaigns. The Race Committee credited Ran- ger with beating the cup course record held by Yankee since 1930, but con- ditions were far dierent. Yankee established the old mark in a suorter, with an honest wind beat to wind- ward, but today the yachts enjoyed a moderate breeze and a smooth sea and were able virtually to reach around the triangle. Ranger’'s crew rejoiced tonight for each win means additional cash in the professional sailorman’s pocket. Own- ers of the defense candidates pay $2.50 for each start and $5 for a start cou- pled with a victory. Today’s course failed to give the yachts & run before the wind, Yan- kee’s strongest point of sailing. Rippling Rhythm Racy Rattler By the Associated Press. ARLSBAD, N. Mex., July 3— Rippling Rhythm, a ro rattler from the Pecos country, wriggled to victory in 4 minutes flat in the second running of the rattlesnake derby today, shattering the record by 2 minutes.

ORMER Teammate Jake Powell, now of the Yankees, found himself on the Washington ball club's growing list of “marked men” today as the Nationals prepared to take the field against the world champions in the final battle of a three-game series.

As THE drivers lined up today, Bernd Rosemeyer of Germany, 1936 European champion, was held as the strong favorite at 2 to 1. Second was Rudolf Caracciola, another Ger- man star, who was 3 to 1. Rudolf led the qualifying trials in his Mercedes, averaging 85.850 miles per hour, as against an average of 84.370 by Rosemeyer, who pilots the Auto Union, a 16-cylinder super- streamlined car of rear engine con- structions.

After beating the Westminster Bank Rowing Club earlier in the day to enter the finals, the American school- boys wound up their victorious week by outrowing the “B” crew of the London Rowing Club. The latter crew entered the championship round with an unexpected triumph over the favored Jesus College, Cambridge, boatload. 3 , In chalking up their fifth triumph of the regatta, the Tabor eight reached the finish line a length in front in 7 minutes 31 seconds. They beat the Westminster shell by the same dis- tance in 7 minutes 58 seconds. Last year Tabor turned back Kent, Conn.,, School in the final race. Sharing honors with the American crew on the final day were J. Has- enohrl of Austria and Rudergesell- schatt Wiking eight of Germany.

Why, all a base runner has to do now, if he sees the ball has beaten him, is to knock down the fellow with a ball. If Piet and Powell can get away with it, every player in the league will be pulling that stuff. “Powell deliberately ran into Kuhel If a man on the street was hit that way he could have the person ar- rested on a charge of assault. Powell hit Kuhel with both fists doubled up.” Kuhel had a slightly sprained wrist and a bruised side to show for the collision. Kuhel Protects Wrist. “I'VE tagged out hundreds of base runners the way I intended to tag out Powell,” said Joe, “and I've never been hit that way. I was two feet outside the foul line. and he easily could have run to first base out hitting me. He broke Hank Greenberg's wrist the same way. If the first baseman tries to hang onto the ball real hard, he is sure to have his wrist broken by a collision of that sort. I always hold it somewhat loosely, relaxed like That’s why it was knocked out of my hand. Otherwise, my wrist would have been broken, too." Kubhel said that Powell doubled both fists and let him have it with his shoulder as well There is a feeling among the Nats that if such is the fashion of play, they may indulge in it in the future. In the same breath with which he made known his intentions to pro- test Powell to Harridge, Griffith said he didn't understand why - his ball club didn't go out and play the same kind of ball. The Nats themselves murmur about squaring things. Wes Ferrell, the new Sunday pitcher of the local firm, will do the hurling today and he will draw as his op- ponent Lefty Gomez, who probably will start the all-star game here on Wednesday. Game time is 3 o'clock. Colliding Yanks Unhurt. NY LAZZERI and Right Fielder Tommy Henrich collided while chasing a short fly by Fred Sington in the second inning and it fell for a hit. Lazzeri's right foot was hurt, but after repairs he was able to continue. The wind didn’t hurt Bill Dickey's drive for a home run in the second. Had not the breezes been behind the ball it wouldn't have cleared. As it was, the ball struck the top of the scoreboard and bounced high. Melo Almada becomes more popular every day with the bleacherites. In the fourth, Di Maggio hit a towering drive that was headed for the bleach- ers. Almada turned at the crack of the bat and raced to the barrier, where he turned with his back flat against the wall. As the drive de- scended he leaped high into the air and snared it.
