Marberry Keeps Fit as Wrist Mends : East Scores in Intersectional Base Ball
BIG HURLER HOPES
TO SCORE 20 WINS
Is Expected to Be Ready
When A's Are Next Met.
Griffs Down Tribe.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
WHEN that important
three-game series with j
the Athletics rolls around ;
the last week of this!
month. Fred Marberry. now
nursing a broken right wrist, ex
pects to be ready to show his
pitching wares to the league lead
ers. With the fractured joint now
incased in a plaster cast, the big
Texan dons a uniform and exer
cises daily at Griffith Stadium
that he may keep his legs in trim
and not pick up weight. Within
two or three days after the cast
is removed. Fred firmly believes
he will again have his salary
wing in condition for use. Mar
berry has plenty of pluck, and is
apt to be in there against the A’s.
And when he gets back to the game
Marberry will want plenty of work.
Fred has set as his goal this season at >
least 20 victories. To date he has scored j
13, but as the season will have little ;
more than a month to go to the finish
after he swings back into action he II
have to toil overtime to bag the seven ;
wins needed to make the total of 20.
He figure* the wrist injury he sus- j
tained in a game of the double-header
In New York last Saturday will cost him
four or five games. "That's what I j
would have pitched in the time I will be
on the bench,” says Fred, "and as I was :
going along so well I believe I would
have continued to win.”
In the game in which he was hurt
Marberry registered his ninth straight ,
Win He has reason to believe he was in j
•hape for a fine winning streak.
OPENING the five-game series with
the Indians yesterday, the Nation
als scored a 5-to-4 victory, yet lost
ground to the Athletics. The A s en- !
gaged the White Sox in a twin bill in
Philadelphia and took both tilts, there
by increasing from seven and one-hair
to eight the number of games they are
up on the Washington outfit.
hi trouncing the Indians the Nation
als for the first time in weeks spotted
a foe a flock of runs, then stepped out
to triumph. Remember how they used
to do that in the early part of the cam
paigning? Perhaps it was because they
wanted B to cheer their leader Walter
Johnson, back on the bench for the first
time since his bereavement, that they
put on the sparkling finish that upset
the Tribe.
LEFT-HANDERS were pitching rivals
at the outset of hostilities. Carl
Fischer, pitching in his second big
league affair and in his first on the Na
tionals’ lot. opened fire for the home
aide, while the red-thatched MiUiurn
Shoffner began for Cleveland. Fischer s
other start was against the Indians.
Then he hurled six rounds and whs a
loser He went six yesterday, then gave
way to a pinch batter, so Lloyd Brown
came on to get credit for the Washing-,
ton win. Shoffner was chased from the j
hill in the sixth session. The Nationals j
had been counting off him tor two in
nings and in the sixth they nicked him
for enough to tie the game before Pete |
Jablonowski was rushed to the slab
Jabby got his in the eighth to become (
*°The Nationals outhlt the Indians, 14
gaieties to 10. Eight of the Cleveland
hits and all the Cleveland runs were
made off Fischer. Carl had a deal of
speed and registered seven, strike-outs,
but at that his control was* faulty. Al
though he issued but four passes, he ;
went to a three-and-two count with
tnany batters and two of his walks were |
converted into runs in the Tribe s big ;
scoring round. Fischer gave a right i
good account of himself, though, and
with better support might have hurled
t 0 Shoffner was reached for all but three :
of the Washington hits and was
slammed safely in each inning. So was
Jabby in the seventh and eighth, two
blows off him after two were out in the j
eighth putting over the big run.
M ANUSH and Cronin colaborated to :
shove across the decisive tally in j
the eighth. Heinie whipped a
two-bagg?r down the right field line |
and scored when Cronin followed with
a single driven between Montague and ,
Goldman to left field. The hit con
cluded a perfect day at bat for Joe.
Previously he had gleaned a double,.
two singles and a pass off Shoffner.
It was Cronin's double. Judge's in
flptd single and the forcing out of
Judge by Bluege in the fourth inning
that put over the first tally for the
Nationals. A bunt'd single by Myer,
Rice's walk and Cronin's single ac
counted for another marker in the filth.
In the sixth West singled and Spencer
tripled. Then after Shoffner had
pitched a wide one to Fischer, Harris
relieved the pitcher at the plate and
crocked a two-bagger to drive over
the tying tally.
IT was an error by Rice that helped
the Indians toward their first run.
With one out in the third inning
the fidgety Porter rifled the ball to right
for a single and circled the bases as
the veteran Samuel let it get by.
Montague walked at, the start of the
Cleveland fourth and following Gold
man's erasure Shoffner poked a bunt ;
past Bluege for a pair of bases. Seeds'
sacrifice hois' counted Montague and
Porter, who strolled, scored with Shoff
ner when Morgan doubled.
RICE is to play regularly in right
again, although he claims the
heat has worn him down * * *
a talk with President Griffith con
vinced Sam he could make a got of it.
* * * Washington hurlers made
three wild pitches, but they did not
affect the Cleveland .scoring * * *
Fischer made iwo while Morgan was
ud in toe sixth and they moved Seeds
I~om first to third base * * * Seeds
might have scored cn the' second one
lad he not tripped over Bluege when
turning third, for Umpire Campbell |
inadvertently kicked the ball that
bounded by Spencer and the catcher
could not locate it quickly. * * *
Brown wild-pitched a fourth ball to
Goldman In the seventh and Montague
went from second base to third.

FOR MUNYHONORS:

Wingate, Jacksonville, Victor
Over Burrows, Opposing
Philadelphian.
By the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla., August 9.
The South and East matched ;
their best. Bob Wingate of Jack
sonville and Joseph Greene of .
Philadelphia, today in the 36-hole finals ;
of the ninth national public links golf
tournament.
Three yetys ago Wingate got as far
as the finals, but was beaten by Carl
Kauffmann, Pittsburgh, who has held
the title since that time. Today Win
gate entered the last test a heavy fa
vorite to bring the James D. Standish,
jr„ Trophy to Dixie for the first time
since it was ofleTed.
Kauffmann was eliminated from the
tournament after the first round of
qualifying play because of a technical
scoring error.
i Greene, a young man of 24. who
works six days a week as a yarn twister
in a textile mill, never has come this
far before, but he demonstrated his
ability by defeating Dominick Stralaci,
Brooklyn sharpshooter, in the semi
finals. Strafaci never recovered from
the first nine holes, which he finished
2 down to the yarn twister. The match
ended 2 and 1.
Wingate was a convincing golfer in
both his rounds yesterday. He literally
smothered his opponents under a bar
rage of pars and birdies and won each
time on the fourteenth hole, 5 and 4.
He beat Ted Burrows of Washington
and then disposed of Larry O Palka of
i Detroit in the semi-finals.
I The diminutive O’Palka, only 18, was
I the biggest surprise of the tournament.
I Playing with a set of mismated clubs,
little Larry, a clerk in a telephone com
: pany back home, drew large galleries
after he beat his first opponents.
Ted Burrows, the Capital golfer, put
up a fine battle against Wingate yes
terday.
Beaten by superior golf, and 3 down
at the turn, although he reached the
ninth hole in 38 strokes, Burrows
fought gamely against Wingate, only to
lose to a par 3 on the fourteenth hole.
Burrows' putting failed him in the
crucial spots of the match, but Win
gate played like an inspired golfer,
getting out in 35, one under par, and
turning 3 up. Burrows won the ninth
with a birdie 3 to turn 3 down, and
he won the eleventh with a birdie 4,
but Wingate quickly gained the hole
back by winning the twelfth. He three
! put’ed the thirteenth to give Wingate
! another hole, losing the match on the
| fourteenth, which he played perfectly
I for a half in 3. The cards follow:

ONE of the queerest cases on the
sandtots and one that appears
well nigh unanswerable 1s that of
| Everett Russell.
A pitcher who commanded the re
! spect of a slugging club like Pullman,
Russell just doesn't seem to click at all
against midget class batters. Just why
i he has failed to puzzle midgets when
I seniors and unlimiteds respect him, is
j a mystery. He has made such potent
j teams as the Firemen. Army Medicos
j and Curtain All-Stars bite the dust.
In a relief role day before yesterday
! he was pounded by Spengler Post. Yes-
I terday he failed to make the least im
' print against the same team. The
1 slants that fooled the big boys were
■ pounded all over the lot. the Spengler
i boys knocking him out of the box In
less than two innings. Spengler made
i 11 runs in the first two innings to win
the championship.
■ Incidentally, the Spenglers loom as
I one of the strongest clubs yet to rep-
I resent the District in the regional se
ries. This club fought Its way through
a classy field to win the title.
Thus far, no local Legion winner ha*
gotten bv the first regional play-off.
Maybe this is the District's year.
Wood Mott Improved
Player, Tilden Avert
SOUTHAMPTON, Long Island,
August 9.—The remarkable come
back of Sidney B. Wood, jr„ against
Frank Shields yesterday following
his narrow escape from defeat
l Thursday at the hands of George
M. Lott, who had him at match
point five times, brought forth high
praise from William Tilden.
"Wood Is the most improved play
er I have seen since I came back,”
said the national champion. “He is
a remarkable match player. Any
one who can come through in the
pinch with the kind of shots he has
made the last two days is a tough
man for anybody to beat.”

Legion and National Guard show at
Rockville got more than their money's

Falls Church Horseshoe Champ
And Runner-Up Streak Ringers
WHEN Chairman Enzer L.
Brandon proclaimed to all
and sundry that the man
who won the Falls Church
preliminary in the Metropolitan dis
trict horseshoe championship would
move right on to a major title it was
no idle boast.
Today he presented some figures and
!at the same time reiterated his pre
diction. The figures reveal that George
C. Thompson who won the Falls Church
title, chucked 142 ringers out of 504
shoes in the seven games he pitched.
This gave him an average of 28 per
hundred, which is extremely high for
this \section of the country.
But Thompson, although he
triumphed, wasn’t in It with Sam
Dames, the runner-up, in the matter
of pitching ringers. Dames threw 138
out of 386 shoes for an average of 35.7.
Moreover, in one game he established a
Metropolitan district record for cham
pionship play with 26 ringers out of
52 shoes. „ .
Brandon’s statistics tend to show that
Dames is really more formidable than
the Falls Church champion. Thomp
son's close shoes put him over in the
final, in which he won two out. of three
games from Darnes.
H. E. Darnes, Sam’s brother, also
had a high ringer average at Falls
Church. He threw 72 out of 242 shoes
for an average of 30.
FALLS CHURCH pitchers look for
ward eagerly to the Northern Vir
ginia finals, which will be held late
this month at Barcroft, in Arlington
County. They are cocksure that
either Thompson or Darnes or both
will survive the Fairfax County play
offs. which will be staged under
Brandon’s direction at Falls Church.
The county pairings will be made in
such manner that Thompson and
Dames won't meet unless in the final
match, Thompson being placed at the
top of the list and Darnes at the bot
tom.
ANOTHER game has been ordered In
the Barnard playground final be
tween J. D. Hall and H. G. Vas
derlip. Hall defeated Vanderlip, 50 to
34. and thought he was in with the
title, it not having been understood by
the Barnard director that two out of
three games is the order in a final.
The Barnard summary:
G. G. Vanderlip defeated A. Marks,
50 —31; R. Melholder defeated S. Cina.
I 50 —46; J. D. Hall defeated S. Mc
j Donald, 50—9; J. Welsh defeated A. L.
i Demontfredy. 50—43; E. Cooper drew
a bve; Vanderlip defeated Melfolder,
50—35; Hall defeated Welsh, 50—40;
| Cooper won by default.
DONALD JONES came through with
colors flying in the Edmunds
School tournament, beating Ken
neth Wade in the final. 50—46, 48 —50,
50—47. It was one of the closest finals
in the Metropolitan event.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
BY W. R. McCALLUM
UUDAUNTED by the dire predic- i
tions of heat, golfers of the Co- ;
lumbia Contry Club have made
the initial gesture in a move
to gather together as many of the
i Washington Golf and Country Club
golfers as care to brave the blazing sun
to play in a friendly match a week;
from tomorrow over the course of the;
Columbia club.
An invitation, sent from Columbia j
by Miller B. Stevinson. the District
i champion and captain of the Columbia
I team, to the Washington club, has been
acepted by chairman Paxton of the
| Washington Golf Committee and early
in the afternoon of August 17 the trek
i will begin from the club across the
I river in Virginia over to Columbia,
! where the towering oaks of Montgomery
County have failed to keep the heat
from the fairways.
Stevinson makes plain in his invita
; tion that the affair is not to be in the
nature of a formal challenge to a team
match, and couches his letter in phrases
| that indicate the affair will be nothing
more than a friendly get-together. But
then "Stevie" always is that way. He
always do-\s the nice thing. Matches
will be made up at the first tee at the
suggestion of the players themselves,
and there will be no formal business
of naming a team, such as there used
to be when those unpopular team
matches were being played by a half
dozen or more of the local clubs.
In other words the affair will be
nothing more than a group of Wash
ington players going over to Columbia
to play with their friends from Co
lumbia. And a repeat engagement will
be played at Washington later in the
year. Stevinson points out that if the
sun continues to pour down its heat
and the weather is deemed too hot to
play golf the whole thing may be called
off by agreement of the two clubs, but
he hopes the weather will break before
the seventeenth and that a good, old
fashioned get-together may be the re
sult of the friendly gesture.
The professional sweepstakes tourney,
scheduled to be held at Columbia on j
Monday, has been postponed because j
of the conflict of the event with the :
Philadelphia open championship, ached- j
uled for decision next Monday and!
Tuesday. Two or three local pros plan
to go to Philadelphia and several Balti
more pros are going. "Anyhow,” says
Fred McLeod, "it's Voo doggone hot to
play golf.” Freddie has played little
golf during the hot spell, for he does
not like to play those crisp iron shots
for which he is famous off ground
whose consistency is like unto that of
concrete.

round in the competition for the Gillis

COLLINS IS WINNER
IN JUNIOR TOURNEY
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 9.—The Western
junior golf championship has been
taken away from Chicago to St. Louis :
by red-headed Charles (Chuck) Collins. !
Playing a steady game. Collins yester
day put a brilliant finish on his quest;
for the title, walloping Bill Chambers ;
of Chicago, 5 and 4, in the 36-hole final
at Floesmoor.
Collins got out in front at the end of
nine holes of the morning round and
never was In danger of being over
hauled by the Chicagoan, who ex
perienced one of those fits of bad
putting.
It was the third time in the last
three years that the qualifying medalist
became champion.
Before Collins, who scored a 75 for
the medal Thursday, triumphed yester
day, Sammy Alpert and Fred Lyons
accomplished the same feat in 1928 and
1929, respectively. ,

WOLGAST WINS TAME BOUT.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif , August 9 (/P>.
i —Midget Wolgast. recognized flyweight
i champion in Pennsylvania and New
i York, toyed for 10 rounds with Canto
Rcbleto, Pasadena. Calif., here last
night, achieving a decision and derisive
catcalls from the fans.
I to square his match with Col. Joseph
; Wheeler and then beat him on the
] thirty-sixth green of an overtime
match. Dr. G. Brown Miller will meet
the winner of the Admiral H. R. Stan
ford-W. C. Mendenhall match, to de
cide who shall meet Rust in the final j
| round. Two matches have been won j
j by default in the event for the mid- j
| season cup at Chevy Chase. Capt. E.
S. Kellogg defeated Gen. W. J. Nichol
son by default and C. P. Hill won by
I default from William F. Ham.
P. S. Ridsdale, one of the few scratch
golfers in the Senior Association at !
! Chevy Chase, who is the pditor of j
Nature Magazine, has done something
that would give him a scratch rating in
any association of golfers, no matter
how strong. Ridsdale, one of the stead- :
lest players at Chevy Chase, has .just
completed playing the difficult fifth
hole df that course for the sixth con
secutive time in birdie 3s. The hole is
a par-4 affair of 350 yards, demands a
well-hit tee shot to carry a bunker from
the tee, and then takes a well-placed
pitch to a narrow green, surrounded on
three sides bv bunkers. Ridsdale’s
stunt is the talk of the chib.
Ten courageous woman golfers braved
the heat of yesterday to play in the
Woman’s District Golf Association tour
ney at the Bannockburn Golf Club. !
They were paired in twosomes and then i

CUBS SOLE VICTOR •
OF DAY FOR WEST
Giants Gain on Both Rivals
for Pennant by Twice
Downing Pirates.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer. *
ANOTHER East-West warfare
is on in full blast in the
major leagues; and, if the
opening day s results are
any criterion, then the Eastern
clubs are due to see their percent
age columns rise several notches.
Ten frames were played in the Inter
sectional combat yesterday with the
Western teams able to salvage only one
of the conflicts. The Chicago Cubs
kept their section of the country from
being completely whitewashed by de
feating the Boston Braves. 6 to 1. Home
runs by Clarence Blair and Charley
Grimm coupled with effective pitching
by Guy Bush gave the champions the
game. Boston's single run was the re
, suit of Walter Berger's twenty-second
' home run.
| It was well the Cubs did win or they
1 would have found themselves trailing
I the Robins by still greater margin than
! 3 1 2 games. With Babe Herman smack
| ing the ball for two home runs, a dou
; blc and a single in four times at bat,
S and Glenn Wright and Jake Flowers
adding a pair of circuit drives, the
league leaders easily downed the St.
Louis Cardinals. 11 to 5. While the
: Robins were winning, Ray Phelps
(chalked up his twelfth triumph of the
! The Giants gained a half-game on
i the Cubs and Robins when they were
i called on to play the Pirates twice and
; won both, the first, 9 to 1, and the
! second, 7 to 2. Bill Walker kept the
Pirates’ 11 hits scattered in the opener
j while Carl Hubbell let the Corsairs
' down with five blows in the nightcap.
I Lloyd Waner, experiencing his best day
jat bat since returning to the game,
got four hits in five times at bat in
the first encounter, but did not play
In the second. Home runs by Roettger,
Hogan and Comorosky played an Im
portant role in the scoring in the sec
ond fracas.

Freddie Brickell. a recent acquisition
from the Pirates, played a leading part
in the Phillies’ 8-to-5 triumph over the
Reds. The former Pirate singled and
I tripled in five times at bat and made
> a brilliant long running catch of
Durorher's drive.
The Athletics found little trouble
with Chicago, whipping the White Sox,
5 to 1 and 4 to 1. in a double header
and thereby increasing their lead in
the American League another half
game. Bob Grove hung up his eight
eenth victory of the season in the
opener as A1 Simmons and Jimmy
Dykes drove out home runs. Shores
bested Ted Lyons in the last game,
letting the Hose down with three hits.
Keeping pace with the champions,
the Washington club came from behind
to defeat the Cleveland Indians. 5 to 4.
After spotting the Indians four runs
in the sis-st four frames the Senators
kept nicking at Shoffner and Jablonow- *
ski until they took the lead in the
eighth on Manush’s double and Cro
nin's fourth hit.
George Pipgras and Harry Rice put
together some effective hurling and
batting, respectively, to give the Yan
kees a 5-to-3 decision over the Browms.
Pipgras held the Browms hitless for
five innings and then gave only five
while Rice accounted for three runs
with a single, home run and a base on
balls. 11
The Red Sox, aided by a six-run
rally in the first inning, defeated De
troit, 8 to 6. to break the Tigers’ six
game winning streak. In winning the
Sox were forced to put down a four
| run rally by the Tigers in the eighth.
