Heads Up Again, Surprising Griffs Return for Long Home Stay
Flashy Wind-up of Western
Fling Eases Sting of
Losing Streak.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
StalT Correspondent of The Si nr.
Ν ROUTE FROM ST. LOUIS.
July 25.—Roaring eastward and
to home at lone last, the Na
tionals arrive in the Capital
tonieht with deep sighs of relief and
feeling fervently thankful fo. St.
Louis' franchise in the American
League.
Thanks to the hapless Brownies the
Griffs "got out from under" on a
Western trip that promised to go down
as one of the worst in the modern
bistory of the firm. Going into the
final lap of their tour the Nats held
only one victory in eight Western
starts, but four wins in five starts in
Bt. Louis erased some of the sting.
Thus, instead of lunping home as
hopelessly as they limped out, the
Nats at least had the satisfaction of
holding (1) a safe lead over the
seventh-place Browns, (2) a four
game winning streak, and c 3) a flock
of freshly-fattened batting averages
as a result of the 40 hits compiled in
yesterday's twin bill.
What was done in St. Louis, how
ever, failed to prove much except that
Washington can wallop the Browns
regularly. The Nats have no real
laurels upon which to rest, but. on the
contrary, a severe test ahead of them
et home. There remains the slight
matter of facing the»White Sox and
the Indians this week, and the Nats
have done nothing against them this
»eason to furnish much hope.
Can't Win on Road.
rT>HIS much can be said for the
Griffs. Once they are at home they
ere a better bail club. The records
prove this contention.
Despite their two double-header vic
tories in as many days, the Griffs have
won only 16 games on the road—East
end West—all season. Against this
mark they have lost 28. for a feeble
.363 percentage. If a ball team can
climb into the first division at this
rate it is performing quite a trick.
The silver lining for Manager Bucky
Harris lies in the fact that with the
wa.son barely past the half-way mark
for his outfit, only one more Western
swing is scheduled. Most of the
Griffs' future campaigning will be
done at home, with a few invasions of
Boston, New York and Philadelphia
elated.
The Nats' record of five wins as
figainst eight defeats came as a
pleasant surprise, in view of the poor
start. They dropped their first seven
games, extending a losing streak to
10 in a row. Not even the most opti
mistic Griffman foresaw five wins in
the last six games.
Browns' Pitchers Are Tonic.
'T'HE St. Louis stand was a great tonic
to some lagging batting averages.
In getting 23 hits in the 16-10 victory
that marked the first game of yester
day's double-header, the Harrismen set
a new hitting high for them. The
second tilt, which was w-on by 15 to
5. did nothing to hurt the averages of
most of them.
Cecil Travis, Washington's candidate
for the league batting championship,
was the leading hitter of the club on
the trip. Buddy Lewis actually outhit
him, but Travis, unlike most of the
others, did not fatten his average
particularly against the Browns' pitch
ers. He hit them all from the outset
of the swing. Here's the way the hit
ters fared:
Name. G. AB H. Ave.
Lewis 1 ·. 4!i 21 .42*
Travis 1'J Λ4 22 .4117
Almada 13 45 1* .400

F Ferrell J ο «2 H .1S7
Millies 4 14 2 .14.1
Bington . _ 3 8 0 .00U
ne Miong lopped the l'itcners.
T^ONE of the pitchers helped them
selves much. Monte Weaver, who
pitched the best game—a two-hitter
against Detroit—failed to win a game,
end was charged with two defeats. Wes
Ferrell won one and lost two. His
victory, which came yesterday, was
anything but impressive. He gave up
14 hits and 10 runs.
Jimmy De Shong. by all odds, wound
up with the best mark, which was two
wins in three starts. Carl Fischer,
since released, lost one game, and so
did Pete Appleton. Ed Linke and Ken
Chase, who won the others, cannot
take much credit. Both were out of
the game when the winning runs were
made for them.
Weaver, more rested than any of
the hurlers, will open tomorrow's
three-game set with the White Sox.
He probably will draw Dietrich or
Cain.

RACE FANS CROWD
SARATOGA HOMES
Natives Move Out, at Good
Prices, to Provide Room
for Banner Season.
ARATOGA SPRINGS. Ν. Y.. July
26.—Bag and baggage, residents
of this elm-studded town moved
out today and turned their
homes over to their August racing
visitors.
As thousands converged on Amer
ica's Summertime racing capital for
the opening of the 30-day season, its
residents cleaned unused glassware
and packed away unwanted clothing
to make ready for them.
By nightfall, one real estate man
estimated, nearly 40 per cent of the
population will have moved to other
quarters, sent the dog away for the
month and rented their homes,
cleaned, furnished and with a tele
phone thrown in. for prices ranging
between $200 and $5,000.
"It's the biggest season for rentals
we've had since 1929," he declared.
"Why, the more expensive places were
practically all gone early in June and
many were already being lived In by
early visitors."
Purely Saratoga Custom.
'"PHE practice of renting to the Au
gust visitor, he explained as the
crowds began the mile Jaunt out
Union avenue to the staid old race
course where the horses were ready
to run again, Is a custom peculiar to
Saratoga.
It's all because Saratoga is the only

Time Changes Saratoga,
But it Still Rates
As Tops in Raring.
BY WALLACE Dt'KE
SARATOGA opens today for a ;
month of racing in which the
best stables from the West will
meet the cream of the East in
the many stakes offered—and before
stands boasting the elite of the turf
world probably to a greater extent
than any track in the country.
New York's famous up-State spa,
a pioneer in the presentation of the
best racing has to offer, continues its
proud position in the forefront of the
game, notwithstanding the fact that
! the years have brought a great change
: in the manners and customs of its
hosts and guests.
Gone are the days, for instance, j
when "Bet-You-a-Million" Gates and
his partner, Drake; "Pittsburgh Phil"
and Riley Grannan would saunter up
to a book and say "How much do you
want?"—meaning they would make
any sized wager that the book cared to
handle. Any one of the trio frequently
would bet more in a day than the
total mutuel play on tracks now oper
ating.
Taxis were unknown, but there were
hundreds of phaetons and surreys and
a ride to the track cost only 25 cents.
After races there was Canfield's, a
show place where the sky was the
limit, and for those who wished t,o
dine there was a menu the like of
which has not been seen since the gay
nineties. As an added feature a small
brook, stocked with trout of many
varieties and sizes. Your selection
promptly was fished out and wiggled
tc the chef.
competition to speak of. To horse
men and turf followers the month of
August meant Saratoga. There was
no other racing in the East. Now
Saratoga must compete with Suffolk
Downs, which offers the $50.000 Mas
sachusetts Handicap as a Mid-August
feature. Then Walter O'Hara will
bring Narragansett into the limelight
with a galaxy of stakes.
pEW if any of the large racing
stables make money. As a rule
those who race for the thrill of see
ing their colors flash down the stretch
pay high for the privilege. This loes
always has been deducted when the
income tax blanks were filled out.
Now the Treasury Department, which
has been conducting a publicity cam
paign as to how the wealthy escape
paying all that Uncle Sam claims to
be his share, has asked Congress for
latlalation that win prohibit owner»
A at that time had no
or racing stables from deducting their
losses in the game known as "the sport
of kings."
Should such » bill become a law it
would hurt the farmers whom the
New Deal has adopted, for not only
Ihe breeders who look to the wealthy
to keep the game alive, but thoee who
furnish the hay at $30 a ton for 50.000
registered thoroughbreds, straw at $20.
and oats at $1 a bushel, would have
to look for another marktt for the
greater part of their crop.
Λ RLINGTON PARK closes next
Saturday with a twin stake bill,
the Futurity and Arlington Handicap.
Each of the feature races has $20.000
added. Arlington, since its purchase
eight years ago, by a group of Chicago
thoroughbred enthusiasts, has been
committed to a non-profit policy, its
earnings above operation costs going
back, half into improvements and
operation costs, and half to charity.
At Arlington moving pictures are
taken of the starts, liiese motion
pictures enable the stewards to detect
any possible mishandling of a horse
by an assistant starter.
HAS SECOND NO-HITTER.
Abe Rosenfield, generally conceded
to be the District's speediest soft bell
pitcher, today was credited with his
second no-hit performance of the
season. Twirling for Zupnlk toesers
yesterday, Rosenfield blanked Internal
Revenue, 5-0, at Ballston, Va.

MAD BEES WIN 22
OF LAST i ITS
Climax Drive by Beating
Bucs Twice—Giants Cop,
Yankees Divide.
BY SIP FFDER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.
THEY still were chasing after the
Cubs on the National League
merry-go-round today, but the
brass ring appeared to be ex
clusively in possession of Boston s be
lieve-it-or-not Bees.
With the National League's West·
ern and the American League's East
ern divisions heading home again
after an up-and-down swing through
the rival sectors, the Bees were chuck
ling up their collective sleeve over a
pitching staff that, came out of no
where and is pure poison to the rest
of the senior circuit.
And the pay-off is that although
the Bees' big four flingers are worth
their weight in pound sterling right
now they didn't cost wily old Bo!>
Quinn and cagy Bill McKechnie more
than enough to keep a Sunday crowd
in hot dogs.
Crabbed Faom Nowhere.
r\ANNY MacFAYDEN landed in
Boston on waivers. Every other
club gave up on old Guy Bush. Lou
Fette and Jim Turner, a couple 30
year-old rookies, couldn t have cost
much to bring up from the minors
this year, at an aee when moet others
are on the way down again
Yet, this quartet, aided by a couple
of other "cheap" assistant*, such as
Johnny Lanning and Gabbo Gabier,
and without the backing of any kind
of batting punch, have burned up the
loop in a drive that has skyrocketed
the Bees from eighth place on June
27 to a spot where they're flirting with
the first division a; the present will
ing. They have won 22 of 30 start',
have allowed but 81 runs In 27(1
innings and have a collective e^rneri
run average that should make the
Matthew.sons and Waddells turn ever
in their graves.
They climaxed th?ir winnine spree
yesterday by topping the Pittsburgh
Pirates in both ends of a double
header. 5-2 and 7-5. with Bush and
Fette doing the work. The twin win
stretched their victory streak to seven
straight over the high ar.d mighty
Cardinals and Pirates, and stole the
Sunday diamond show from the
usually featured pacemakers in both
leagues.
Giants Turn on Cubs.
'"THE Giants finally found a hurler
able to go the route and salvaged
the last game of their series from the
Cubs. 5-0. behind Harry Gumbert's
six-hit elbowing. The defeat eliced
the Cubs' lead to two games.
At the same time, the Yankees
wound up their Western whirl by
splitting with the Chicago White Sox.
therebv dropping their first series since
June 7. They won the first game,
12-11, on Bill Dickey's two homers,
but were nipped in the nightcap, 7-5,
despite a pair of round-trip belts by
young Tommy Hennch. all of which
left them with a five-game lead in the
American League.
Washington knocked the Mr* off
seven St. Louis Browns' pitchers for
a twin win. Lefty Grove hurled a two
hitter as the Red Sox socked the In
dians. 4-1, in a single game cut to
five innings by rain, and the Detroit
Tigers banged out four homers t->
whip the Athletics. 12-9. as their lore
tilt was washed out in six frames.
