Myer, Rice May Join Judge on Bench: Griffs Only Eastern Club Losing Ground
JACK HAYES LIKELY
10 PLAY KEYSTONE
Pilot Attributes Veterans’
Slump to Need of Rest.
Manush Improves.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
CLEVELAND. July 18.—Wash
ington's base ball club,
chasing a pennant, is to be
reorganized in midseason.
It seems. Buddy Myer and Sam
Rice, respectively second baseman
and right fielder of the Nationals,
soon may follow to the bench Joe
Judge, captain and erstwhile first
baseman, who yesterday was re
lieved of his job by the fiery Art
Shires, recent importation to the
Washington club from Chicago.
Because Judge had fallen into a
slump and no longer could do himself
justice Manager Walter Johnson retired
the veteran and for a similar reason
Myer and Rice are apt to be benched.
For some time Myer has been weak at
bat and sluggish afield while Rice, al
though hitting well enough to ke.ep his
average at bat nigh, has helped his
club little offensively since it took the
road and has been unsteady as a garden
patrol.
Manager Johnson hesitates in retir
ing Myer and Rice Just as h«* did in
* Judge's case. For some time the pilot
thought the club wotild lie better off
with Shires at the first base post, but
delayed making a change until it was
evident the veteran was sorely in need
of rest. Now he has about concluded
Mver had better give way to Jack
Hayes, a sterling fielder and a timely if
not a heavy hitter. Buddy’s retire
ment may come in the current series
with the Indians.
Rice, though, is apt to be kept in ac
tion until Heinie Manush is able to get
back into harness. Big Heinie gets j
better day by day, but recovery from ]
the infection that cripjrted his left leg |
is slow and Manager Johnson does not
care to rush his prize hitter into serv- j
Ice again. Nor does he care to retire
Rice and depend upon an outfield com
posed of Dave Harris, Sam West and
George Loepp. That would force the
use of West against left-hand as well
as right-hand pitchers, something that
probably would help neither the club
nor West. _.
When Heinie returns, however. Rice
• will step out and Harris go to right
field, unless Sam shows marked im
provement in fielding form in the mean
while. . .
Judge's retirement is to be considered
as temporarv only, according to Man
ager Johnson, and the retirements of j
Myer and Rice, when they occur, would
be so considered. Each of these three
players is in need of a thorough rest,
for each played at top speed for weeks.
While going well they contributed heav
ily to the success of the Nationals, but
Johnson holds he should not put in
jeopardy his club's chance at the pen
nant by keeping in the line-up fading
players.
NATIONALS and Indians are to con
clude their series of six games to
morrow with a double-header,
and Carl Fischer, left-hander bought
only this week from Newark of the In
ternational League, may show his wares
for the first time in a big league in one
of the week end engagements.
Not only has Fischer one of the finest
fast ones to be seen in the game today,
according to his manager, but he seems
to possess a much better curve than
many who had seen him work the last
season or two thought he possessed.
“I looked Fischer over carefully in
practice yesterday," said Johnson, “and
he certainly surprised me with his curve
ball. When I had the Newark club in
1928 Carl had a great fast ball, but his
curve was nothing more than a wrinkle.
It'a different now, though, and I be
lieve he could go well against the In
dians.
"With our pitching staff so hard
worked since it left home, I may take a
chance with him in one of the games
tomorrow. That fast one of his ought
to trouble the Indians, and I think he
may have a good enough change of pace
to carry him along. Perhaps he will
not need any curve. He seems to be
worth a trial right now and if he makes
the grade it would help our pitching
staff wonderfully for the remainder of
the trip.” .
If Fischer is not started Lloyd Brown
may get a shot at the Tribe. Fred
Marberry is definitely slated to open
fire in one of the tilts.
f * NOTHER close -one went against
/i the Nationals yesterday, the In
dians bagging the third game of
the series, 4to 3. Sam Jones and Wil
lie Hudlin hooked up in a pitching duel,
with Jones giving eight hits and one
pass and Hudlin seven hits and two
- passes. The Nationals fought gamely
and once forged ahead, but no sooner
had they gained the lead than it was
WTested from them.
It was Dick Porter and Eddie Mor
gan of the Tribe who upset the beans
for the Washington club. In the very
first inning Porter singled and Morgan
followed with his seventeenth homer of
the season, a loft over the center-field
fence, to stake the Indians to a two
run start. , .
A pass to Bluege after two were out
and successive singles by Spencer and
Jones meant a run for the Nationals
in the second session, while they got
two more in the sixth to go ahead.
Then, with one out, Shires singled and
*o did West. Art tallied as Bluege
forced out Sam. Then Ossie swiped
second, to be in position to get pome
when Spencer hit for a bas<v
That did not annoy the Tribe.
Jamieson opened its sixth batting turn
with a single, then Porter bounced a
two-bagger off the right-field wall.
Rice, who fielded the hit. made a wild
return that sent the ball to the Wash
ington dugout. That let Jamieson score
the tying run and Porter reached third.
Along came Morgan with a single to
put Porter over with the big counter
cf the day.
Although Rice’s error gave the Tribe
an unearned run. as it turned out, the
home side would have won anyhow.
Morgan's hit was easily long enough to
have scored a man from second.
SHIRES got two hits...one a looper
to short left that dropped at Jam
ieson s feet for a double...one a
sharp ground single to right... The
first time up Art fired a hot one at
Hudlin.. .The pitcher just managed to
cuff it down and flag the runner...
Snappy double play by the Nationals
ended the sixth.. .Bluege picked up
Hodapp’s sacrifice bunt and heaved to
Shires for the out... Morgan, seeing
third uncovered, turned second and
tried for the far corner... Spencer rush
ed down to take a throw Shires had
made with no target, and Morgan was
tagged out... Cronin has a sore right
1eg...1t has been badly battered by
runners sliding into second... Spencer
plaved through the game with a
sprained right ankle ... Hurt it in first
game Wednesday and did not know it
until yesterday.. .Trainer Martin's rock
ribbed bandage got Spencer back in
action... Judge batted for Jones in
ninth and socked a hard one that
shortstop Goldman knocked down ...
Throw just beat Judge to the bag.

I ON THE SIDE LINES
: With the Sports Editor
—By DENMAN THOMPSON
| // a LTHOUGH Bill Killefer
•• A probably still figures
h A he received as much
*■ 1 as he gave when he
obtained Goose Goslin from the
Senators in exchange for
Heinie Manush and Alvin
Crowder, the cold figures seem
to indicate that the Washing
ton club gained a big edge in
the deal."
This has a familiar ring,
something along the same gen
eral line having appeared on
numerous occasions in the vari
ous journals of the Capital
since June 14, when the swap
became effective. But there is
a difference regarding the
paragraph quoted, in that it is
a verbatim reproduction from
a St. Louis newspaper of recent
date.
Byway of elucidating, the
Mound City scribe cites the fact
Manush has outstripped Goslin
in everything except hitting
homers, including outbatting
him by some 80 points, adding,
"from these facts it would ap
pear the Senators would have
gained the edge even if Crow
der had not been thrown in."
And then mention is made of
the pitcher’s six wins against
two losses since he was acquired
by the Nationals.
“Bill Killefer may have re
ceived what he wanted—a free
swinging outfielder in Goslin"
—the St. Louisan concludes,
"but Walter Johnson probably
still is laughing up his sleeve.
All of which just about makes
the verdict on the biggest deal
of the season thus far unani
mous.
The fact Manush still is on
the shelf with his leg injury,
and likely to remain there
an indefinite period,, doesn’t
brighten the prospects for the
Griffmen snapping out of the
skid they went into starting
with their invasion of the
West, but Johnson is displaying
wisdom in not taking a chance
of giving his swatting star a
setback by rushing him back
into action until his underpin
ning again is thoroughly sound.
SOME of the occupants of the
observation towers main
tained by the press—and who
ought to know better—are giv
ing credence to the ever-recur
ring rumors of the formation of
a third big league, pursuant to
the latest flare-up in the draft
squabble between the majors
and minors.
Pick-Ups From the Sandlots
L ...i . —By Francis E. Stan - ——.l
Tn winning over Commerce yesterday,
after trailing most of the route, D. C.
Repair Shop failed to impress sandlot
fans for the coming week day cham
pionship series, which is a month in the
offlng.
Despite a lead of only two games the
Shopmen now hold over the second
place Commerce team, they appear “In”
as far as the Departmental League is
concerned.
Agriculture, Treasury and G. P. O.
present teams that are much inferior.
So it appears that while the Repair
men have the league title cinched, it is
not likely that they will finish ahead in
the city series.
Huck Stahl, veteran third-packer of
the Pullmans, may be out of the line
up for some time, which would be a
serious blow were the club not so strong.
But Harry Smithson, manager, ap
parently knows his base ball and his
players too well to let a little thing like
that bother him.
He jias shifted Eddie Colloflnwer. a
pitcher, to short, moved Baker to third,
and after puzzling Terminal fans as to
who will help Clapper out with the
pitching, brought in Marcus Chaconas
from right field to the slab.
Marcus had little trouble in beating
Express yesterday and. though touched
for 12 hits, kept them so well scat
tered that the Expressmen were able
to score but four times.
Chaconas likely will continue taking
a turn on the mound until Stahl is
again ready for service.

One of them allows as how
that if the third league plan
receives the proper impetus
there will be a base ball war
and that financial backing may
be obtained for new clubs in
big league territory in Brook
lyn, Pittsburgh, Detroit and
Washington.
Any prospective investor who
will take the trouble to inquire
into what happened to the
bank rolls of the Wards and
Sinclairs, who attempted to
buck organized base ball dur
ing the ill-fated Federal League
venture, less than two decades
ago, will hesitate a long time
about risking so much as a
nickel in any sifnilar enterprise.
There are not sufficient play
ers of grade A caliber to ade
quately supply the two major
organizations now in the field,
much less another. And in any
event, the promoters of a third
big league would do well to
to start by scratching Wash
ington from their list of pros
pects. The Capital is well satis
fied with its present repre
sentation in base ball:

It’s a great quartet McGraw

AMERICAN SWIMMING
RECORDS ARE BROKEN
By the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, July 18.—Two Ameri
can swimming records were bettered
here last night in the International
meet featuring entrants from Yale and
Meiji University of Japan.
Clarence Crabbe of Honolulu, swim
ming for the University of Southern
California, eclipsed his Own American
mark for the 1,500-meter free style,
finishing In 20:06.2. His former record
was 20:48.6.
The American 200-meter breast stroke
record of 2:55.2 held by Walter Spence
was shaded by Y. Tsuruta of Meiji in
winning that event here. Tsuruta fin
ished in 2:53.
Yale won the 600-meter relay, the
winning team being J. Howland, R.
Messimer, B. Butler, J. Brine. A. T.
Hapke and L. B. Osborne and the time
6:19.8. The Hlumakani team of Hono
lulu was second and the all-Hawaiian
team third.
Mickey Reilly of the University of
California won the springboard-diving
contest. J. A. Godchaux of Yale was
second and W. Manuel, Yale, third.
Lipton Unable to See
Shamrock Sail for U. S .
BY JOSEPH GRIGG.
Special Cable Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, July 1R (CPA.).—An
attack of lumbago following upon a
chill will prevent Sir Thomas Lipton
from seeing the Shamrock set out
tomorrow on her Atlantic voyage to
try and lift the America’s Cup.
The famous yachtsman’s indisposi
tion. his secretary informed the Sun
correspondent today, gives rise to
no anxiety. "He wanted to witness
the departure of the Shamrock,"
said the secretary, “but his doctors |
have advised him to rest.”
The opinion has been expressed
that Sir Thomas would be fit and
well long before time for him to sail
to America to see the races, his ab
sorbing ambition. Through his
steam yacht Erin, which will escort
the Shamrock, Lipton will receive
daily wireless reports of the voyage.

YANKEES PRESSING
j WASHINGTON TEAM
Only Four Games Behind as
They Send Browns Into
Cellar Position.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
THE current Western trip of
the Eastern clubs of the
American League is prov
ing rather painful to the
Washington Senators, but profit
able to the rest. The Senators
started a losing streak when they
started West, and the result has
dropped them clear out of first
place and into a somewhat pre
carious second.
The Senators left home as league
leaders and now are 3 5 i games behind
first place and only four ahead of the
third place New York Yankees.
A's Seventh in Row.
The champions and leaders, the
Philadelphia Athletics, made it seven
straight wins, six in the West, by plug
ging out another victory over the Chi
cago White Sox, 12 to 8.
The Sox again had a bit the better
of the hitting, getting 15 blows to
Philadelphia’s 14, but made few serious
threats until the ninth, when they
scored five runs.
The Yankees aided themselves and
the Boston Bed Sox as well by ham
mering the St. Louis Browns for 21
hits and a 16-to-7 victory, making it
four straight wins for the Yanks and
seven successive defeats for the Browns.
Besides improving their position, the
Yankees shoved St. Louis into last
place as Boston trounced the Detroit
Tigers, 12 to 2. Hod Lisenbee pitched
a fine game to earn the honor of
moving Boston out of the cellar and
his mates backed him with 18 hits,
five by Earl Webb. The Sox now are
a full game ahead of St. Louis and
onlv a half game behind Chicago.
Chicago and Brooklyn again were
the leading lions in the National
League’s arena and they tore at each
other for 13 innings before the Cubs
finally gained a 6-to-3 decision that
reduced Brooklyn’s lead from three
to two games. . .
The final blowoff came when Dazzy
Vance, essaying the relief hurling role
in a great battle, gave four singles,
three of them of the scratch variety,
and the Cubs converted them into three
runs. Guy Bush did a great finishing
job, giving the Robins only three hits
in 5 2-3 innings after home runs by
Phelps and Finn had enabled Brooklyn
to make it an overtime game.
Third Place Battle.
New York and St. Louis, staging their
own crucial series with third place at
stake, played second division base ball,
committing nine errors between them.
Clarence Mitchell held the Cards more
or less in check through the early in
nings and the Giants won out, 12 to
9, although they were outhlt, 20 to 15.
The victory gave New York a margin of
two games.
The first three clubs of the second di
vision drew a bit closer together in their
private race as Pittsburgh gained a 6-
to-2 decision over the Boston Braves
and the Cincinnati Reds played havoc
with Philadelphia pitching for a 14-to
-9 victory. The Pirates now are only a
half game behind the fifth place Braves
with the Reds another game back.
Larry French’s effective hurling when
the bases were populated won the game
for Pittsburgh as the Braves had 16
men left stranded. The Phillies pro
vided the big thrill of their game, scor
ing eight runs in the eighth Inning,
but the Reds already had a 14-run
lead.

NINES IN TITLE TILT
Grace Episcopal, co-holders of the
Georgetown Church League first-half
title, which Is to be settled tomorrow
when it hooks up with West Washing
ton, must fight if it means to stay in
the running for the second-half honors.
Eldbrooke, which is just beginning to
hit its stride, took Grace over the
bumps yesterday, 3 to 1. Larry Prhnel
rier limited the Episcopalians to three
hits..
Commerce threw a scare into D. C.
Repair Shop, but after taking a four
run lead in the third blew many op
portunities, and the Repairmen rallied
to win, 8 to 7.
Express proved no match for Pullman
in the Terminal "Y” League. Though
making 12 hits, the Expressmen could
not bunch them, and Marcus Chaconas
arid his mates coasted along to an easy
10-to-4 decision.
Bobby Lyon, southpaw of the O. P. 0.,
was saved for that game with Naval
Hospital yesterday and came through
with a 9-to-7 victory. The result was a
distinct surprise.
In a slow, abbreviated contest the
W. B. Hibbs team took the measure
of Holmes Bakery, 11 to 1.
FAWSETT AND MORGAN
DEFEND TRAP HONORS
C. C. Fawsett and R. D. Morgan,
holders of the Washington Gun Club
two-man team trapshoot championship,
will defend their honors against two
sturdy challenging combinations tomor
row In Marcey and Williams and
Strowger and Shelton.
The match will be staged at the
Washington Club’s traps at Bennlng at
1:30 o’clock. It is likely that several
out-of-town teams also will enter. A
trophy will go to the winners along
with a liberal sweepstakes.
Competition will be at 50 singles and
12 pairs of doubles targets, and Is ex
pected to be bang-up In view of the ex
perience of the contestants.
City officials of Berlin, Germany,
have sent an invitation to the Olympic
committee to hold the 1936 Olympic
games In Berlin.
