B—6__WASHINGTON, 'D. CM SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1936 __._
Nats Bow Again, Skid to Sixth: Rule-Violating Olympians Warned
_ a-----—----:---* --
NEWSOM SLAPPED
BY mm
Grfffmen’s Fourth Straight
Loss Is Eighth Win in
Row for Cleveland.
BT FRANCIS E. STAN.
STIFLING their early threats to
win a ball game, the fluctuating
Nationals succeeded in extend
ing their losing streak to four
m ft row ycsveiuay hi uuuuu
by dropping a 10-to-3 decision to the
Cleveland Indians, current possessors
of second place and an eight-game
winning streak.
The Washington, by folding* like
accordions in the late going, also
staked themselves to another ride on
the greased chute by dropping Into
sixth place. While our Mister Newsom
was taking his beating from the Tribe,
Chicago moved into fifth place by ac
cepting a double-header from the
Athletics.
For eight innings it was quit* a
ball game. Twice the Nationals
grabbed a lead from Lloyd Brown, but
they dropped back’ at the halfway
mark and in the stretch run the local
entry had nothing with which to
match the Tribe’s closing strides.
Cleveland, by bashing hits in whole
sale lots in the ninth inning, iced the
affair by scoring five runs.
For the first time this campaign the
fans turned against the Griffith A. C.
The dav began with a burst of civic
spirit as the American Legion honored
19-year-old Buddy Lewis, third base
man of the Nationals. It ended with
the boos of the 6.000 stadium inmates
ringing the rafters.
Farced Out an Freak Play.
p EVERS IN G the procedure that has
*'■ marked the Washington toing
streak, the Griffs took a lead in the
first inning, when Jesse Hill singled,
raced to third on a one-bagger by Joe
Kuhel, and scored while Ben Chap
man was forcing Kuhel at second
with, of all things, an outfield fly.
Chappie looped a short fly to right
and Messrs. Roy Hughes and Roy
Weatherly let it fall between them.
Kuhel, fearful it would be caught,
clung to first base and was forced by
the throw from the outfield.
The Indians, unleashing the first
portion of their 16-hit attack off
Buck Newsom, forged to the front
in the second inning. Weatherly dou
bled to open the frame and Pytlak
singled him to third base. When Vos
mik also singled, Weatherly scored
and Pytlak took third.
Knickerbocker popped out, and
when Brown grounded to Red Kress
the Grifflan shortstop flagged Pytlak
at the plate to give Newsom a fight
ing chance. Hughes, however, sin- i
gled to score Vosmik and make it a-i, i
and things might have gone on in
definitely If Reynolds’ fine throw to i
Lewis at third had not nailed Brown !
as he attempted to take third on,
Hughes’ hit.
Washington tied it up in the third j
Inning when Lewis beat out an infield
hit, moved to third on Kuhel's sec
ond single, and scored on Chapman’s
roller to Knickerbocker. Then, in
the fourth, the Griffs went ahead for
the second time when Buddy Myer
opened with a one-bagger and con
tinued to second base when Averill
fumbled. On Bolton-* infield out
Myer advanced to third, from where
he scored when Newsom beat out a
freak hit In front of the plate.
Back Given a Raizing.
P’ROM a loyal local viewpoint that
” was all there was to the game.
Brown, despite suffering from a
stomach ailment, actually pitched
better ball toward the end. and never
eys in serious danger of being scored
upon with any degree of frequency.
Newsom, however, discovered that
his toughest bumps were to come, in
the fifth inning, with two down.
Averili smacked a single for one of
hta three hits, and Hal Trosky lifted
his twenty-third home run of the
lire fin over the right-field fence.
That is, he would have lifted it over,
except for a photographer’s pen built
atop the wall. The drive struck one
of the pipes up there and bounced
back to the playing field, but the um
pires ruled it a homer and. lo and
behold, the Indians were ahead by
4-3.
Newsom rallied after this turn of
events, but in the eighth the Indiana
reached him again and boosted the
count to 9-3. A double by Averili
opened the frame. Trosky sacrificed
and Weatherly grounded to Myer,
whose throw to the plate was too late
to catch Averili. Pytl&k then singled
Weatherly to third, but the icckie
Indian outfielder was nailed at the
plate when be and Pytlak attempted
,a double steal. Vosmik ended the
inning with a grounder.
Newsom, who was fortunate in
escaping with what damage was in
flicted, blew up completely in the
, ninth. While the customers razzed
and booed Buck, and demanded his
removal, Newsom pitched six base
, hits to the Tribe, including Troeky’s
second home run of the game. When
the smoke had cleared the score
WU 10-3.
Brown started the game-clinching
uprising when he tripled to center
with one down. Hughes, Hale and
Averill promptly singled In succes
sion to score two runs and leave two
men on base. Troslcy scored both of
.> - them with his home run.
Weatherly tripled after this Mg
• blow, but nothing came of it. It
wouldn’t have mattered anyway.

MOSCOW. July 18 (/F>.—T&lantllvy,
the favorite, today won the classic
All-Union Derby at the Moscow hip
podrome for trotters before a crowd
of SO,000.

Griffs, Battling Tribe Twice
Today, Hard Put for Pitchers;
Lewis Has AU-Round Big Day
Unv.tttr.wui'iluuobi snuvru
out of a virtual tie for sec
ond place into the depths of
the second division in less
than a week. Washington's staggering
ball club will wind up its current home
stand today with a double-header
against the rampaging Cleveland In
dians. The twin bill, first Sunday
affair of its kind this year, will start
at 1:30 o'clock.
Manager Bucky Harris, hard-pressed
for hurlers, has nominated Joe Cas
carella and Mont Weaver to do the
Nationals’ throwing. Cleveland prob
ably will counter with Mel Harder,
its ace right-hander, and Thornton
Lee, a big southpaw, who goes well
against the Grills.
Regardless of what happens today
the Nationals will not be able to show
a winning record for the home stand
that is winding up. Yesterday's lick
ing by the Indians extended the Griffs’
Indnc strpflfr tn fniir cram pc In a mw
and made it eight defeats against five
victories since the team came home
to Griffith Stadium on July 4.
Lewis Blushing But Unbawed.
DUDDY LEWIS, young tnfleld star of
the Nationals, yesterday became
not only the youngest Washington bill
player ever to have a "day." but also
one of the few recipients of gifts not
to turn total liability to his team on
account of it.
Defying the tradition that haa all
honored ball players flopping, the 19
year-old third baseman yesterday
banked two hits, scored a run, batted
across another and played faultlessly
in the field after parading to the home
place before the game and receiving
a handsome traveling case on behalf of
the American Legion.
Lewis is a graduate of the American
Legion base ball tournament, which
also helped to send Phil Cavarett* of
the Cubs to the major leagues. Buddy
captained and played third base for
the title-winning Gastonia, N. C„ team
in 1934, the same year in whidh he
went to the Giants for a trial.
Joseph J. Malloy, commander of the
District Department of the Legion,
made the presentation at ceremonies

: hits and made the prize fielding play
j of the day when he raced in almost
behind second base to make a gloved
hand catch of Joe Vosmik's fly in the
sixth inning.
Trosky Reminiscent of Ruth.
ITS been a long time since anybody
hit two home runs in one game in
i Griffith Stadium . . . even those with
good memories figured you’d have to
| go back to Rutb in his palmy days to
! find a day of slugging to match the
; show put on by Hal Trosky yester
! day . . . Hal's two clouts were his
i twenty-third and twenty-fourth hem
' era .of the season.
j When Red Kress pulled Kuhel off
1 first base with a wild throw in the
first Inning, letting Sammy Hale
i reach base, It was his sixteenth error
, in the last 31 games ... In the last
13 games the Washington club has
booted 20 chances.
Buddy Myer surprised even the
most optimistic attaches of the club
with his performance . . . returning
to the line-up for the first time since
June 2, Buddy made two hits and
was robbed of another when Bill
Knickerbocker grabbed his line drive
. . . toward the end, however, Myer
hardly was able to navigate, so weak
were his legs. F. E. &
TOUGH FOR PITCHERS
Only 41 Per Cent of Starter* in
Major* In at Finish.
ST. LOUIS. July It <&>.—Easy
enough to start a game—pitchers did
it on 1,313 occasions so far this sea
son—but finishing is a different mat
ter.
Only 541 starting pitchers, or 41
; per cent, still were in the game when
the last man went out in the ninth
Inning.
A survey, including games of Fri
day. showed American League hurlera
have been more successful—302 times
to 239—than their National League
rivals in doing a complete job.

JAPANESE FLASH
THROUGH WATER
Swim Under World Records
in Tuning for Olympics
in Berlin Pool.
BY GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer.
BERLIN. July 18. — Japan's
bronzed official speed swim
mers picked the hottest day
of Berlin's Summer to Invade
the recently completed Olympic pool
and practically act It on fire today.
Experts who watched the stars of
the huge Nipponese squad repeatedly
rip through the water In near world
record time or better were almost
ready to concede them again the
supremacy they established at Lot
Angeles four years ago.

'piMED by trainers snd coaches,
1 Shi geo Aral flashed through the
100 meters in 56.6 seconds, which is
two-tenths of a second under Peter
Pick's listed work mark.
Shumpei Udo did the 400 meters in
4:42.8 for the 50-meter pool, which
the Japanese considered better than
Jack Medlca's record of 4:38.7 made
in a 25-yard tank. Hamuro swam
the 200-meter breast stroke in 3:42
which is six-tenths of a second under
the listed world record.
Masoji, who won the 100-meter
backstroke at Lea Angeles, was timed

"J THINK we have a much better

of the Japanese coaches as he
watched the squad go through setting
up exercises under the hot sun.
The temperature, which reached 90
degrees, curtailed the workouts of
the track and field athletes, who pre

The Filippino swimmers, who pre

Crawford, Von Cramm An

in Davis Cup Play.
F >• the Associated Press.
WIMBLEDON, England. July
It.—Australia and Ger
many broke even today in
the opening singles matches
of the inter-zone final of the Davis
Cup tennis competition.
The Anzacs, conquerors of the
United State* last month in the North
American final, gained a 1-0 lead
when young Heiner Henkel defaulted
to the veteran Jack Crawford after
the Australian won the first two sets,
6—2, 6—2.
However, blond Baron Gottfried von
Cramm squared the count with a
closely fought *—6, 6—4, 4—6. 6—4.
11—9 triumph over the formidable
Adrian Qulst.
The result of today's matches more
than ever makes it appear the out
come of the series will hinge on the
doubles to be played Monday. The
series will wind up Tuesday with Von
Cramm meeting Crawford and Henkel
opposing Quist.
Henkel had been sick abed with
chills for several days. After finding
ms weacenra conamun miptui t-u no
footwork in attempting to chase Craw
ford's deftly-placed shots, the youth
ful Teuton withdrew.
Budge Defeats Perry.
X/IEANWHILK, the British Davis
Cup team concluded its final
practice in preparation for defense of
the cup next week end against the
survivor of the .Germany-Australis
aeries.
Playing at Eastbourne, H. W.
(Bunny) Austin trimmed Bryan
(Bitsy) Grant of Atlanta. Ga.. 6—0,
6—2, e—2, and Don Budge of Oak
land, Calif., took the measure of Fred
Perry, *—7, 7—5, 8—10. 7—5.
Budge's victory gave the United
States a 3-2 winning margin in the
informal international series. Perry
played indifferently, as he invariably
does when a title is not at stake, and
appeared both nervous and patchy.
In the previous matches Americans
captured one of the opening singles
on Thursday and Budge and Grant
conquered Pat Hughes and Charles
Tuckey in the doubles yesterday.

Among Those Cited—Only

BY ALAN GOULD.
Associated Press Sports Editor.
Aboard s s. Manhattan,
EN ROUTE. TO BERLIN,
July 18.—Disciplinary prob
lems among members of thp
American Olympic team, which aro e
today when rain cut short the wrork
outs, drew a sharp warning from
Avery Brundage that further unrea
sonable violations of the training
rules would result in the dismissal of
the offenders at the first port of call
—Cobh. Ireland.
The American Olvnipic Committee
nresident delivered his ultimatum to
all of the Olympians after receiving
reports of late hours, drinking and
gambling among some of the ath
letes. Brundage stressed that ther*
were only a few violators and that
the majority were holding to the
regulations and maintaining good
discipline on the whole, but the man
agers of three teams—namely, the
women's swimming, field hockey and
fencing—were charged specifically with
the responsibility of enforcing stricter
adherence to the training rules.
Not Prudish, He Says.
"WE ARE malci:nS aU reasonable
allowances,” Brundage de
clared. *'We are not prudish nor do
we have any objection to a glass of
beer or smoking by athletes who know
how to behave generally and not di.'
rupt the team's morale and discipline.
Now it's up to the members of the
team to show they mean business.”
Much official debate developed over
the decision of the team salute to be
used in the Olympic parade. It will
take the form of the men lifting their
hats, holding them in their right hand
and extending the right arm forward
parallel to the ground. The girls
merely will extend their right arms
forward.
Officials denied the suggestion that
this was a “modified Nazi salute."
explaining they desired a distinct!', e
gesture as a part of the opening cere
monies.
It has not been decided who will
have the honor of carrying the Stars
and Stripes, except that the choice
will be based on seniority, thus mak
ing James W. O'Conner of Venice,
Calif., and Fred Lauer of Chicago,
members of the water polo team, and
Alfred A. Jochim. gymnast from
Union City, N. J„ eligible. They will
be competing in their fourth Olym
piad. The problem may be solved by
naming two color guards.
Smallwood on Deck Again.
J-JAROLD SMALLWOOD, national
400-meter champion from Cali
fornia. appeared on deck for the first
time since developing an attack of I
appendicitis as the ship was leaving |
New York Wednesday. He consumed
two chicken dinners and insisted lie
felt better than before embarkin;.
He also was confident he would b
back in condition within a few day?.
Tony Terlazzo, 132-pound weight
lifter from York, Pa., bettered his own
world record in practice by hoisting
an aggregate of 700 pounds.
Glenn Cunningham and Archie San
Romani, the 1,500-meter men from
Kansas, skipped a rope for an hour
and looked to be in fine condition.
Gene Venske, the other member cf
the team, remained idle, however, as
he still Is 7 pounds underweight.
