A—16 Nats’ Slab Rooks Tilt °38 Hopes : Giant- RARE HILL VALUE SHOWN IN TESTS Chase, Phebus Shine in Even Break With Yanks—Krakky | Holds Much Promise. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ISPLAYING their first vic- | torious road record of the season, the Griffs were back in town with Managér Bucky Harris happily pondering the pleas- antries of tearing apart a weak pitch- ing staff and replacing the incompe- | tents with members of his prospective new “Big Three"—Messrs. Ken Chase, | Ray Phebus and Joe Krakauskas. That 2-to-1 victory that Chase earned over the Yankees in the first game of yesterday’s double-header in New York was all that Harris needed to convince him that Kendall not only is ready for the big time, but has the | essential asset known as heart. Phebus was not so fortunate. The new right-hander Iost his first major league game when Lefty Gomez eked out a 2-to-1 triumph in the nightcap. But Phebus’ stock soared even in de- feat. The plucky Chattanooga grad- uate gave up only six hits to the| world champions in the process of proving that his 2-to-0 shutout over | the Red Sox a week ago was no fluke. | Krakauskas Will Face Tigers. S FOR Krakauskas, he has made Harris throw all previous pitch- ing plans out of the window. Despite the presence of such well-known right-handed hitters as Hank Green- | berg, Gerald Walker, Rudy York and | Pete Fox in the Detroit line-up, Kra- kauskas tomorrow will be assigned the Job of facing the Tigers. The game will open Washington's final home stand of the year. Harris is certain that Chase is a major leaguer and he is willing to modestly wager that Phebus also is ready. Now he wants to find out| more about Krakauskas, the stocky Lithuanian southpaw who came up from Trenton and won his first major | league game a few days ago as & | relief pitcher. In winning Krakauskas | stopped the Athletics with one hit in seven innings. And at the time the A’s were red hot, what with just having | batted Dick Lanahan for six runs in the first two innings. | Chase, Phebus and Krakauskas Probably no Washington ball club of modern times had a trio of pitchers break in so impressively at the same time. | Trio’s Composite Record Great. IN HIS last five games, of which he started and finished all except one, | Chase has pitched 42 innings and | given up only 25 hits and six earned | runs. No punches were pulled for | him either. He faced the Yankees | three times over this stretch and the Indians and Athletics once each. | Phebus now has staried and finished two games. In the 18 innings involved in completing these tasks Ray has given up only two runs and seven hits. And Krakauskas, of course, has a| one-hit-in-seven-innings record. | The composite record of the trio | is an interesting little line of figures. | & In all, Chase, Krakky and Phebus have | worked 67 innings, allowed 8 earned runs and only 33 hits. This is ap- | proximately five hits per nine-inning game. More New Nats Coming. I\RAKAUSKAF. is one of the new | Nationals due to be unveiled, | starting tomorrow, when the Tigers will herald the final invasion of the Western clubs. Phebus is a newcomer this season, although he had a brief | trial last Fall, and Outfielder George | Case will be sent back to the outfield | 85 500n as his injured shoulder heals. | It was pulled out of place last Satur- day and still pains him Scheduled to come up for trials yet | are Jimmy Bloodworth, a 18-year-old | second baseman from Chattanooga and Mickey Livingston, a new catch- ing “find” from the same club. Blood- | worth will be watched closely. The | young man, who graduated fi high school only this Spring, is fairly flashy sround second base and a long hitter. Best of all, he bats right-handed. From Salisbury club of the Eastern Shore League several others are due, notably Joe Kohlman, a right handed pitcher. Another pitcher, catcher, & second baseman and shortstop also may come up. a a Chase Pitches Despite Blister.

EW YORK, September 13.— | The Executive Committee of the American Olympic Asso- ciation, the august body that | ran the 1936 Olympic representation of the United States, closed its term | & as a governing body by taking action against many of the abuses and mis- understandings that arose in the 1936 games. Meeting for the last time before it is dissolved at the association meet- ing at Washington, November 17, the group last night approved a recom- | mendation to bar United States ath- letes from all post-Olympic compe- tition except the British Empire games, described by the committee®| as a “well-established feature of in- | ternational sport.” A special committee headed by Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft presented this and 161 other recommendations | to the executive group. The report | of the committee also recommended | that no alternates for the boxing and wrestling squads be sent to future games and that hereafter the first four finishers in the 100 meters and the first four in the 400 meters make up the 1,600-meter team.

CRUCBLE AT HAND FORFIVEREDSKINS Additional Players Due to Be Let Out. BY BILL DISMER, JR. HAT promises to be little| more than a tune-up game | to the squad generally be- comes a matter of cake or bread to five Washington Redskin players tonight when the Capital's new professional foot ball team plays its last exhibition game at Wilming- ton, Del, before opening the National League season here Thursday night. Minus four players—two veterans and two rookies—who were sold to the Cleveland Rams last night, the Redskins still must cut five more from their number to get within the league quota of 25. Those whose transfer to the Rams was announced were Pug Rentner, four-year veteran and former all-America back at Northwestern; Sam Busich, an end, who played with the Redskins last year after leaving Ohio State, and two “freshmen”— Boggs Hall, a guard, of West Virginia Wesleyan, '36, and Dom MacCara, an end, of North Carolina State, '36. In all probability the quintet still to g0 will be determined by individual performances in tonight's game against the Wilmington Pros. Reten- tion of their Redskin contracts, trans- fer to other league clubs or outright releases faces the few who fail to show up to Coach Ray Flaherty's| standard. One More Back to Go. DEPARTURE of none of the four to the Rams occasioned much sur- prise, although the release of Rent- ner caused a little eye-lifting because of his all-America reputation. How- ever\the local squad is replete with outstanding backs, having 11, includ- ing Sammy Baugh, Erny Pinckert, Clff Battles, Riley Smith, Don Irwin, Dixie Howell, Max Krauss and Nelson Peterson. It is Flaherty's intention to carry only 10, leaving one more to be cut, probably from the trio of Ed Britt, Ed Justice or John Spirida. Rentner, more experienced than of the above save Pinckert, could not keep up with his younger colleagues, though the handicap of a broken hand no doubt retarded him in the last 10 days. He should be a big help to the troit in their first National League | venture last Friday night. Plotnicki Directs Foe. JFLAHERTY plans to start Wayne | Willner and Charley Malone at | the ends tonight, Capt. Turk Edwards | and Jim Barber at tackles, Eddy Michaels and Jim Karcher at guards, Ed Kawal a center, Smith at quarter. Pinckert and Peterson at halves and Irwin at full. Battles, recovered from | a case of boils, will be taken along in case needed. Ben Plotnicki, former George Wash- ington quarterback, is expected to cali signals for the Wilmintgon team against the Redskins. Washington's other professional team, the Presidents, took their sec- ond workout of the season yesterday in preparaion for their campaign in the Dixie League, which opens Sep- tember 28. For the most part, the Presidents are composed of former George Wash- ington, Maryland and Catholic Uni- versly stars, those signed including Gene Augusterfer, Bob Makofska, Ed White, Tom Oliver, Kermit Stewart and Frank Cumberland.

Yankees have begun to plant the seed of doubt in the minds of New York’s more learned base ball writers as they prepare for another T!{E story-book heroics committed by young Kendall Chase against the subway series. ‘When and if the Yankees play the Giants next month the National Leaguers will enter the industry's big farewell show with far more supporters than they had the year before. In the 25 innings Chase has pitched against the Yankees . . . twice as & starter and once in & seven-inning relief shift . « . Washington's new slab phenom has held the world champions to 15 hits and 3 runs. Of the hits, all except one were singles. Only one of the runs should have been scored. Faulty fielding by Chase’s teammates helped the Bombers to the others. The writing boys in New York look upon these feats of Kid Chase as ominous signs. If the Cubs win the National League pennant they will have to go for the Yanks 100 per cent. But ifeé— % the Giants win, with Carl Hubbell and CIiff Melton firing from the box with left-hands, a la Chase, they are not 50 sure, Hubbell proved that he could stop the Yanks last year in the series, when he won the opening game. Later in the set he was defeated, but, then, Carl was rushed back with precious little rest for one of his sparse physique. Still, Bill Terry had no alternative. The Giants had their backs to the wall. Pearson Out For Yanks. MELTON is a long, big-eared south- paw who was bought by the Giants from Baltimore. His chief asset is a blazing fast ball, whipped across from the vicinity of first base, to hear National League hitters. He has made a fine running mate for Hubbell this year and may make him- self even more conspicuous in the series, to hear the experts who have studied Melton and the Yankees.

At the time Terry had Hubbell, Fitz- simmons and Schumacher as his Big Three. Hub was the only left-hander and only he and Schumacher won over the American Lea- guers. Now Fitz is gone but Melton stands in his place. Hubbell is still in the picture, dead game and great and Schumacher, too, is ready for another shot., On the other bench, Monte Pearson is a doubtful starter in the series and an even more doubtful winner. Monte accounted for one of the Yankees' victories last year, but now he has the elbow miseries. Hadley picked up a game, too, but he is by no means a good bet to repeat. Gomez won two from the Giants in the 1936 series and he may do it again, but Red Ruffing has yet to win in the classic and figures to be no better than an even money bet. Tough Season For Yanks. JEVEN the confirmed Yankee rooters “ in the press box contend that Joe McCarthy's gang will not be the same sharp, hard-hitting outfit of last Fall when the series,rolls around. “They haven’t been anywhere near as good as they were last year all season,” claimed one of them yesterday in New York. “This Yankee club is more or less tired. It has been a tough season for the Yanks in this way -« . ever since the year started Mc- Carthy has been forced to put & make-shift team on the field. The fact that New York kept winning detracted from the hard-luck angle, but listen: “Selkirk, a .320 hitter and a good run driver-in, may not be ready for the series on account of his bad shoulder.

BY SID FEDER, Associated Press Sports Writer, HE National League pennant picture, folks, is as clear as a cup of coffee in Hank's hash house. One week the Cubs are going strong and the Giants look no better than place; the next week the Cubs fall apart and the Giants look a sure thing, straight from the feedbox Then both get hot—and now any- thing can happen. The pennant races went into their final and deciding three weeks today, and, although the Giants are a game and a half in front, the thing is no nearer being decided than it was last April.

Yankees .. 88 Giants, Cubs Battle Evenly. 'HE Giants had the unpleasant prospect of tangling with the Bees’ two “old man” rookie sensations, but they got by Lou Pette, 3-1, in the opener. Jim Turner then set them down, 6-4, handing them their third setback in their ldst nine starts. The comebacking Cubs' pitchers turned in a pair of fair enough jobs in breaking even with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Larry French tossed a four- hit shutout for & 5-0 decision in the opener and then Bill Lee dropped a 4-2 affair in the nighteap, although his pitching was good enough to take a lot of ball games. By far the best elbowing of the day was turned loose (believe it or not) at Yankee Stadium. Young Ken Chase, with a seven-hitter, hooked up with Red Ruffing, with a five-hitter, in the opener, and Ken won, 2-1. Lefty Gomes fanned eight and allowed just five safeties to take the nightcap, 2-1, from Ray Phebus with the help of Joe Di Maggio's forty-second homer. Weiland Blanks Reds. OB WEILAND'S five-hit, 2-0 win in the nightcap enabled the Car- dinals to break even with Cincinnati, after the Reds took the first game, 10-7. The Phillies and Dodgers split, Brooklyn taking the second game, 9-5, on a homer with the bases loaded by Eddie Wilson, after the Phils out- lasted them for a 4-3 ten-inning win in the opener. An eight-run ninth inning gave the Red Sox a 13-6 edge over the Ath- letics. The “always-good-at-home” Cleveland Indians showed the home folks & pair of winning performances over the Browns, 6-3 and 6-1, the latter giving Johnny Allen his elev- enth straight win, with a four-hitter. NEWARK BIG CHOICE IN INT. POST-SERIES Syracuse to Battle Bears, While Baltimore, Montreal Clash in Openers Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. NEWARK. N. J, September 13.— The International League season is a thing of the past for four of the circuit’s teams, but for Newark, Montreal, Syracuse and Baltimore things are just getting hot. These four clubs will battle in the annual Governors’ Cup series, which open tomorrow with Newark, cham- pions of the league by 251 games in the regular season, meeting the third-place Syracuse Chiefs and the second-place Royals playing Balti- more, fourth in the final standings, at Montreal. Each series will be played on a four-out-of-seven basis. Throughout the league there is a strong feeling that the Newark Bears will shake off their customary leth- argy in the playoffs and win the right to play the American Association champions in the little world series, Newark's awesome record for the regular season makes the Bears heavy favorites.
