26 Seven Double-headers Provide Test for Nationals in Final Month of Campaign CROWDER AND MARBERRY ARE DUE FOR TOIL TODAY v Addition of Joe Carroll, Little Rock Recruit, Will Give Manager Harris Seven Flingers for Duty in. Season Now Nearing Close. BY JOHN B. KELLER. BOSTON. September 3.—This is to be the month of double-headers for the Nationals. After going through four and a half months of the campaign without being called upon to enter any extraordinary number of dual sketches, the erstwhile Champions are to stage •even of them in the last four weeks of the 1926 championship race. Two of these two-way affairs are to be played with the Red Sox. A Cold rain that drizzled in from the northeast yesterday prevented any hos tilities at Fenway Park, so a pair of matches were to be put on there this afternoon. Monday afternoon, the day that labor celebrates. Nationals and Red Sox will clash twice in Clark Griffith Stadium in Washington. When the Nationals roll \yest they will have a double-header with the Indians, two of these dual bills with the Tygers and one with the Browns. And the day before the campaign ends they are booked to meet the Athletics in a couple of games. All of this will mean plenty of work for the short-handed hurling corps now under Manager Stan Harris’ guidance. Perhaps it is Just as well that Jimmy Uehrinsko, pitcher, who has done little else than fling 'em up to the batters in pre-game drills, has been ordered to Little Rock of the Southern, and that Jo a Carroll, pur chased not st> long ago, may report to the Champs before the Western swing gets under way. The addition of Carroll will give Harris seven pitchers who may tie pressed into competitive service. And seven will he none too many, consid ering the strenuous program arranged for the Nationals through the remain der of the season. Crowder and Marberry Today. For this afternoon’s games Harris was exacted to use A1 Crowder and Fred Marberry, with the latter likely to be reserved until the second part of the matinee. Perhaps it was just as well that Crowder was not called upon to perforin yesterday. He had his left foot severely bruised by a hatted ball during Wednesday’s club swinging drill and the wounded mem ber was exceptionally tender yester day. But. according to the injured player and Trainer Mike Martin, the foot was practically O. K. this morning. Martin declared the Birmingham graduate would not be troubled by the injury the pitcher received in the practice. Red Sox clubhouse information in dicated that Harold Wiltsc, southpaw, •nd Charley Ruffing, right-hander, would do the flinging for the Fohl men this afternoon. Wiltse is greatly respected - by the Nationals and so Is Ruffing, when In good trim. The or- ; thodox liiirier has been suffering with a sore right band recently, but it must be fully healed if Fold has an idea of starting him. Boston fans are somewhat enthused by the prospect of seeing Walter Johnson In action against their club tomorrow, for the smokeball veteran has not performed here this season. Instead of the 2.500 to 3,000 crowds j that have been turning out for games i here, there may be as many as 5,000 j on hand for the Saturday clash. Youth to Oppose Barney. Danny MaeFayden, the Somerville youngster who is to oppose the aged marvel of t>ase ball, also is expected to prove quite an attraction. He may bring in a number of fans from the j Suburbs of the Hub. Then, too. Fuller of Massachusetts, and the mayor of this city are likely to attend. If they do. they ought to draw a few more of the faithful to Fenway Park. Weather conditions were so poor yesterday that most of the athletes •tuck close to their hotel, playing caslno games for new Fall hats. It was neither too cold nor too damp for the National Lawn Tennis double title aspirants, however, and some of the players journeyed to the Long wood courts to see the racketers strut their stuff. Among Ihese visitors to the turf courts were Biicky Harris and Sec retary lid Eynon. Bucky and the secretary enjoyed the play while there, hut. lacking fur-lined coats, did not remain long. OUIMET TO CONTEST IN MONUMENTAL CITY i Francis Ouimetr. former holder of j both the national amateur and open | coif championships has entered the j Fall golf tourney of the Suburban Club of Baltimore County. Ouimet has assured the golf com mittee of the club on Park Heights • venue in Baltimore that nothing will stand in the way of his competing in the tourney. The Suburban ('lull tourney has been set for the same dates as the snntial Fall golf affair of the Bannoek < burn Golf Club, September 32 to 25. > inclusive, and comes one week after ; the national amateur championship at 5 Balturol. A strong field of golfers from Washington would have entered the Suburban Club tourney had it not been for the conflict with the local j affair. The committee in charge of the Interstate Commerce Commission golf tourney played yesterday at the Washington Golf and Country (,'lub was still working today on compila tions necessary to determine the win ners in the event, an 18-hole handi cap match play against par affair. Eugene R. Hendley is chairman of the committee. MARSHALL KEEPS TITLE IN CHESS TOURNAMENT CHICAGO.

THE St. Louis Cardinals today had a two-game margin over Cincin nati and three games over Pittsburgh in the National Lcagtie race. While the Cardinals were taking two games from Chicago, 2 to 0 and 9 to 1, rain halted the Pittsburgh-Cincinnati fray three and a half innings yesterday. Rain also stopped the Boston-New York game, the only other contest scheduled in the league. Grover Alexander, former Cub ace. who was waived to the Cardinals in the middle of the season, shut out his former mates, 2 to 0, with three hits. Charley Root was touched for eight. Alexander's double, Douthit s triple and Southworth’s double provided the only runs of the game. The Cubs hit Rhem occasionally in the second game, but Blake, Osborn and Huntztnger felt the power of the St. Louis war clubs, with Southworth, O'Farrell and Hornsby leading the at tack. The Cardinals have 591 points in the standing. Only once in the long history of the National League has a team gained the pennant with a mark of less than .600.
