WASHINGTON, SPORTS SECTION he Sundwy Stae D. C, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1937. - Griffs Drop Seventh Straight : Budge Earns Net Split Jor U. S. Woodruff, in Amazing 1.47.8; HENKE'_ TRUUNBED PLAY SICKLY BALL ASTIGERS PREVAIL Beaten, 6-0, Need Two More 1 Loses in Row to Set | Record for Club. | BY FRANCES E. STAN. ! 8taft Correspondent or The Star. ETROIT, July 17.—With a minimum of effort today the | hapless Harrismen succeeded in keeping their record for the Western trip in perfect shape. Never in danger of forgetting them- selves and blemishing the slate, they | lost again, 6 to 0, and this time to the Tigers. | If the Nats were pitiful in Cleve- land, they were doubly so in this Na- vin Field opener. Tommy Bridges, whose ears have been pinned back | frequently of late by other clubs, sim- ply threw his glove into the box and the Washingtons rolled over and played dead.- They made only five hits, two of the infield variety In the process of dropping today’s | decision, the Nats moved closer to- | ward a modern losing streak for the | ‘Washington club. Prior to dropping | all four games on this swing of the West they had lost three other tilts in a row. One more defeat in a row will make it eight straight, thus equal- | ing the prize losing streak of the last several years. The 1936 outfit dropped eight in a row. De Shong Clever Too Late. AMES BROOKLYN (SHOW BOAT) | DE SHONG did the Washington throwing and pitching. He simply threw in the first two innings, when the Tigers scored all of their runs. Thereafter he flashed some real pitch- ing but it was a case of locking the | &table after the horse had been stolen. From the third through the seventh | inning, De Shong was as good as Bridges. but they still are paying off on nine-inning games. ! It was a pretty dull game inasmuch #s the Nats never displayed any in- terest in really getting into the thing. Once they broke down and loaded the bases with two out, but nothing came of it. De Shong's first act after hitching up his belt was to pitch a single to Pete Fox. He got Rogell on a fly ball | but Charlie Gehringer punched a long | homer into the upper deck of the right | field stands, scoring Fox and giving the Tigers a 2-0 lead. With the bags thus cleared De| Shong had a chance to start all over | again, but Hank Greenberg doubled | and Gerald Walker singled him across | with the third run of the inning. | Rudy York rolled out at this point, | making the second retirement, but | Rookie Chet Laabs doubled Walker across and Ray Hayworth sent Chet over the plate with a single. Bridges | graciously bounced to GCecil Travis m\ end the inning with Detroit ahead, 6-0. Jimmy Allowed to Suffer. DE SHONG, who was very much on the ropes. was allowed by Harris to stay in the game and when he came out for the second round the ‘Tigers decided to let him have it again. Fox, again leading off, im- proved over his initial try and dou- bled. ger also doubled, scoring Fox with the sixth run of the game. Despite » walk to Greenberg and a wild pitch, De Shong managed to get the side out with no further scoring. Thats really all there was: there wasn't any more. But, for the sake of the records, it might be added that Jimmy did a very passable job thereafter in spite of some loose fielding by his mates. In the Wash- ngton eighth he was removed for inch Hitter Buddy Myer and Syd Cohen, the southpaw, pitched the last ‘Tiger inning. Joe Kuhel was the first Nat to get & hit off Bridges. He did it in the first inning, after two were out. There- after there was a long famine. Bridges retired 13 straight batters and not until Rick Ferrell broke the ice in the sixth was there a semblance of a ‘Washington hit. Griff Rally Is Fruitless. ERRELL touched off the coloasal, stupendous, gigantic, super-super and highly unsatisfactory rally which found three Nats on base at one time. His grounder struck third base and bounced high enough into the air to allow him to reach base. De Shong promptly struck out and Mel Almada vopped up, but Buddy Lewis revived the rally with a single that put Fer- rell on second, Kuhel drew a base on balls to load the sacks and leave the issue to Johnny Stone, but Long Jawn saw to it that the hapless Harrismen's rec- ord remained intact. He fanned in short, decisive order. That was the Griff's one big bid. In the eighth Almada beat oui a bunt with one down and Stone man- aged to get a single in the ninth, but they didn’t mean a thing Oh, yes, Detroit moved into third place. > o s ) =] = o & = - > DO 1 533333033008 259-550mmnlll Sommmiaout0 So335momonns> 2555520555~ 2M 83 = n >R ooy P | masan | somsmmmsnn [ oRror e = 3 Washington ~ 000 000 000—0 Detroit _Z-____ 510 000 00x—6 Runs batted in—Gehringer (3).

RINCETON, N. J, July 17— Five meet records were ‘WO upsets, with the British vic- tims of one, were scored during {but one in their run-production. Over Princeton and Cornell smashed in the stifling heat of Palmer Stadium today as the combined forces from Cambridge and Oxford, paced by long-legged thur Godfrey Brown, scored a sec- ond successive 7-to-5 victory over Princeton and Cornell in their eighth international track and field meet. The thin clads from his majesty's realm, exerting themselves only when the pressure was as hot as the re- lentless sun, won' on the perform- ances of Pennington and Brown, who turned in doubles in their special- ties to give the British a 4-t0-3 lead in the international series. One was a tle, Brown Keen in Pinch. ROWN was the star of the two, setting a meet record of 1:52.2 in the half-mile run, final and de- cisive event on the program. Need- ing the triumph to insure victory, Brown clipped eight-tenths of a sec- ond from the meet mark set In 1933 by Bill Bonthron, Princeton’s im- mortal track star. His feat gave him the race by a good 10 yards over his closest pursuer, Johnny Meaden of Cornell, who was passed like he was standing still with the stretch lying ahead. Brown also captured the quarter mile by five yards over James Ham- ilton Hucker of Cornell in the com- paratively slow time—for him—of 48.6. Because of Brown's perform- ances Cambridge scored five ,of the seven points for the team. Pennington, the Oxford sprint star, won the 100 and 220-yard dashes, taking the eentury by good measure in 10.2 and the 220 in the time 21.4. The other four meet records set were: High jump. won by Robert Kirk | Kennedy of Cambridge with & 6-foot | 3%-inch leap as compared with the record of 6 feet 2 set twice in the meet’s history—in 1929 by B.

Broad jump, won by Anson Perina, Princeton freshman, who went 24 feet 7% inches before he was stopped. The former mark, set in 1934 by K. S. Duncan of Oxford, was 23 feet 7% inches.

In the first event of the 12-event card, the .120-yard high hurdles, Kemble White, jr. raced to victory over the heavily favored James Hucker of Cornell. White took the lead as Hucker got off to a bad start and won by & stride in 14.9. Peter Bradley of Princeton scored the upset in the mile by defeating Carl Emery, Cambridge star, in the comparatively slow time of 4:13.4. Bradley ran a beautiful race and passed the Englishman down the stretch with a great “kick” that won. Only first counted in today's meet, which gave the Cambridge-Oxford team its second consecutive victory of the week.
