SPORTS. TOURNEY STARTS HERE TUMURRUWf Unlon’s International Event | Attracts Ten Outfits From Other Cities. | LEVEN crack clubs today con- verged on this city to partici- pate in the twenty-seventh an- nual Union Printers’ Interna- tional Base Ball League championship series, which will be launched on two fronts tomorrow, with Chicago, de- fending champion, a slight choice to repeat Washington's entry, however, f{s confident of upholding the amazing | record which local teams have com- piled over a period of the last 15| years, during which District nines have captured the crown 11 times. In addition to Chicago, which grabbed the title in its back yard last | ar, and Washington, other cities rep- resented in the tourney will be New York, Baltimore, Boston, Pittsburgh, | Indianapolis. Detroit, Cincinnati, St.| Louis and St. Paul. Team Pairings Tonight. DRAWINCS for first round games will be made tonight at Wardman Park Hotel, tourney headquarters, | with action slated to get under way to- | morrow at 11 o'clock with four tilts | on Ellipse diamonds and one at Griffith Stadium. The tourney .will continue throughout the week, with the final frey scheduled for Gxiffith Stadium on Saturday. The chances of the local contingent | appear promising. In the National| City League the Printers finished only a game out of first place in the first half and in the second half have ¥plit even in four games George Mosedale and Carl Beane nre expected to share the mound burden for Washington, with the Veteran Heinie Webb and Charley Bray held in reserve. D. C. to Have Veteran Nine. CHARLE HOLBROOK, Jimmy" Dewhurst and Benny Schneider will comprise the outfield, with Jimmy Holloran and Tommy Dalglish also alated to see service in the meadow. | Fred Waple, Harry Hofberg, Phil Boundford and Rav Homan or Eddie Edwards, reading from first to third | base, will start in the infield, with | Rip Sole and Mac MacPherson ready | to toil behind the plate. The club almost is a duplicate of the outfit which was eliminated in the semi-final round last year, only Hof- | berg, Boundford and Holloran seeing tourney action for the first time. A golf tournament in conjunction with the ball games will be held to- morrow through Thursday at Indian Spring. Competition will be held in three flights in the 72-hole medal af- | fair, with prizes awarded in each class. | 0 DONNEI.I.S ON SPOT‘ IN INDUSTRIAL LOOP, Defeat by 0ld Milwaukee Nine Tomorrow Would Put Grill Team Out of Race. ‘\ARROWED down to a two-club fight, the Industrial League hits the home stretch this week, with Coffey Screen, the dark horse, and O'Donnell's Sea Grill, first-half champ, | for the second-half title. A t for the O'Donnells tomorrow, they play Old Milwaukee Beer, clinch the race for Coffey and | necessitate a play-off for the 1937 crown, ‘With Reggie Brown, Old Milwaukee ace, ready to take the mound, O’Don- nell's chances of sweeping the second half as it did the first are dim. Lefty Btevens, O'Donnell’s No. 1 slab artist, will endeavor to keep his team's chances alive. 8hould O'Donnell's win tomorrow, it would make its game with Coffey Bereen on Wednesday one of the | banner features of the season. In that event, Cranston Howard would pitch for the Sea Grill on Wednesday, against either Lefty Heft or Bill Kafka of Coffey. Victory for O'Donnell's in both games would not put Coffey out of the running entirely, as the latter still could tie for the second-half crown by beating National Savings next week, the last game on the schedule. Mean- while, Old Milwaukee, National Sav- ings and Heurich's all have a chance for third place. —_— e LEADING BATSMEN OF A. A. IN SLUMP Slaughter and Rizzo Trailed by Reynolds—Kress Is Tops Driving in Runs. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. August 14.—Several of the American Association’s lead- ing hitters found the pitching hard ta wlve during the last week, with the two perennial leaders, Enos Slaughter and John Rizzo of Columbus, both slumping. According to official averages which {ncluded afternoon games of Thurs4 day, Slaughter held first place with .377. Rizzo's average was .369. The third place hitter is Carl Reynolds, Minneapolis ball hawk, with .366. Others in the circuit’s “first ten” were Cooke, Minneapolis, .338; Kress, Minneapolis, .334; Eckhardt, Indian- apolis, .333; English, Kansas City, .330; Pfleger, Minneapolis, .330; Stein- bacher, St. Paul, .329, and Rosen, Loulsville, .326. The lead in hits was held by Rey- nolds and Slaughter, at 189. Rey- nolds led in runs scored, 126, and had hit for the most total bases, 309. His 42 doubles was the best mark thus far, as was Rizzo's performance ot 17 triples since the season opened. Two players were tied for the home run lead, Kress and his teammate, Roy Pfleger, Minneapolis infielder. Each had hit 26 circuit smashes. Kress' mark of 125 runs driven in gave him possession of that depart- mental lead, while Lynn King of Columbus continued to lead the base stealers at 27. Minneapolis took over the team hitting lead from Columbus, the Kels mark being .309 to .305 for the Red Birds. In team flelding, St. Paul's average of .972 was tops. ‘h" THE SUNDAY S TAR, WASHINGTON, D.

By 1 e Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, August 14— The New York Yankees, seek- ing to bolster their faltering pitching staff, today obtained Ivy Paul Andrews, veteran right- hander, from the Cleveland Indians on waivers. To make room for him on the roster, | the Yanks released Spurgeon Chand- rookie flinger, to their Inter- national League farm at Newark. It was Chandler’'s second trip to Newark this year. Andrews is making & return trip | to the Yanks, with whom he broke into | major league ball back in 1929. He was sent down to the minors after that, and returned to the Yanks in 1931, going to the Boston Red Sox in 1932, the St. Louis Browns in 1934, and to the Indians after last season in the trade by which the Tribe gave up Bill Knickerbocker, Joe Vos- mik and Oral Hildebrand for Lyn Lary, Jule Solters and Andrews. Only Hurler Blanking Yanks. NDREWS, who is 30, has won 43 and lost 50 games during his six years in the majors. So far this season, he has won three and lost four, and is the only pitcher to hold | a shutout victory over the Yanks. The Yanks obtained Andrews as their pitching situation, weak all year, became acute. Only three pitchers have lasted nine innings in the Yanks' last 11 games. With Monte Pearson still ailing and Chandler still suffering from a sore arm that necessitated his shift to Newark again, only Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez are dependable starters, with Johnny Murphy and Blubber Malone doing yeoman work on relief.

HOOTING for their finest home stand record of the year, the QGriffs today will undertake their first Sunday double- header of the season. The Red Sox again will furnish the opposition, and what Mr. Clarke Griffith modestly calls his most gigantic, colossal and super-super offering of 1937 will ring down the curtain on this stand at Griffith Stadium. There will be no Buck Newsom- Wes Ferrell duel, because Blushing Buck pitched yesterday, but Joe Cronin is doing the next best thing by Papa-in-Law Griff. He found it convenient to announce Lefty Grove a8 Ferrell's slab foe in the first game. JOS!ZPH apparently believes that left-handed pitchers are the only things that will stop the Nats, for in the second game one Archie McKain, also a southpaw, will do the Boston pitching. He will be opposed by Monte Weaver. Winning their sixth straight game yesterday, the Nats now have taken 13 of 19 games of the home stand and 17 of their last 23. Tomorrow they head for New York and points East, before swinging West on their last inland trip of the season. They'll be back September 3. Pitcher Harry Bazner, the fellow whom Clark Griffith was going to bring up from Chattanooga tomorrow, Griffs Face Two Southpaws. ‘Best Home Stand of Season Is Griffs’ Goal in Twin Bill will not report, at least for the time being. Until the ’'Nooga club defi- nitely is sold the old gent is going to leave his young talent down there. Reason is that young Calvin Griffith is managing the Lookouts now. Simmons May Play. AL SIMMONS, on the sidelines for the last two days with a sprained ankle, may play one of the games to- day. Al reported that his ankle is healing and he is able to walk nor- mally again. Fritz Ostermueller, the left-handed Boston pitcher who makes so much trouble for the Nats, has been sent back to the Hub by Joe Cronin, and the chances are that Fritz will be out for the rest of the year. Ostermueller tore a ligament in the elbow of his pitching arm en Friday while pitching to Buddy Myer.
