MACKS PASS TEST
|NPENNANT CHASE
Come Through Crucial Jaunt
to West by Showing
Title CaIiber.
BY the Associated Press.

The Athletics have passed the tests
that base ball observers asserted would
decide the American League pennant
race.
The Mackmen stood off the world
champion Yankees in the first big test,
and now, after a crucial trip through
the West that started somewhat poorly,
having come back home with their big
lead substantially intact, well prepared
for the final drive.
Connie Mack has experienced too
many disappointments in recent years
to start building air castles or additions
to Shibe Park when two months of
campaigning remain, but the veteran
leader now has every reason to feel con-
fident he will hear the roar of the world
series crowd once more, after a lapse
of Is years.
The Yankees have made a gallant
fight to stay within hailing distance of
the Athletics. But the teams general
decline, which actually set in last sea-
son in spite of a glamorous world series
performance, has not been checked.
The breaks" of base ball have been
mostly against the men of Miller Hug
gins. He failed to solve his worrisome
infield problem. Waite Hoyt and George
Pipgras the two pitching aces lost some
of their effectiveness. Finally, Babe
Ruth, after a comeback that seemed to
inspire the club, has experienced fur
Their damage.
All circumstances considered the
Yankees probably will be fortunate to
keep either the Browns or the Tigers
from forcing them out of second place
before the season closes

BUGS AGAIN LEAD
CUBS IN HOT RACE
Trim Giants, While Chicago
Bows to Robins-Macks
Add to Margin.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ ONE BUSH'S Pittsburgh Pirates
have cruised back into the
National League lead, dis
49, placing the Chicago Cubs,
whose latest tenure Of office
lasted just "a hours.
1t took two fine pitching perform
ances to reinstate the Pirates to the
top Of the heap. Remy Kremer, the
big Frenchman who has been making
gallant comeback this season, held
the New York Giants to fve hits as the
Corsairs triumphed, S to 8, while over
in Brooklyn the old Cub nemesis,
DaZZy Vance. gave the Bruins five
scattered safeties and beat them 5 to l.
The net result was to drop the Cubs
back into second place, a game behind
Pittsburgh.
Kremer had to be at his best to
hand up his twelfth victory Of the
season. The Pirates got only eight hits,
but punched five of them. with Fred
Leach'S muff of fly ball, to score
four runs in the fifth. In the home
half of the same inning the Giants
tailed twice on three hits. All the
Pirate hits were made off Larry Ben
ton. the other Giant twirlers, Fitz-
simmons and Mays, setting the oppe-
innings. The triumph gave Pittsburgh
an even break in the series and
record Of IL wins and losses in the
East.
Vance Fans Ten.
Vance struck out ten men in giving
the Robins their first victory Of the
season over the cubs. Pat Malone
weakened In the seventh and the
Robins scored two runs and then added
another in the eighth off Charlie Root
The only Cub run came across in the
fourth, when Rogers Hornsby hit
home run.
The st. Louis Cardinals lost both ends
of double bill with the Boston Braves.
to 2 and 4 to 3. Lester Bell drove
home all the Braves runs in the frst
game, three with home run and the
other with a single. Sisters double with
the bases filled in the ninth gave the
Braves the second game.
Red Lucas pitched good ball after
shaky start and Cincinnati downed the
Phillies, 8 to 5.
over in the American League the
Philadelphia Athletics heightened their
lead over the New York Yankees to
1912 games, beating Detroit, 10 to In
II innings. while Cleveland was downing
Higgins men, to 4.
Graham Bothers As
Kyle Graham, q rookie from the Pa
cif1c Coast League, gave the AS plenty
Of trouble, but they got to him in the
eleventh for four runs. The Tigers
came back fighting but could score only
one run in their half. Bing Miller was
the big gun in the Athletic attack, get
ting five hits. two them doubles, and
driving in three runs.
Waite Hoyt had another OF day at
Cleveland, and the Indians pounded
him for 10 hits, and all their runs in
the first seven innings. Miller weak
ened in the latter inning and gave way
to Wesley Terrell, who was effective in
the pinches.
The rampaging Chicago White Sox
slugged three pitchers for IL hits to
shut out the Boston Red Sox, 10 to 0.
Ted Lyons gave the Red Sox only four
hits and none got as far as second base.
The st. Louis Browns punched hits
to down the Washington Senators, TO
5. Sam Gray, although touched for IL
hits, bore down in the pinches and sue
ceeded in earning his thirteenth victory
Of the season.

Sunday was a big day for many horse

been so much barnyard golfng in Wash

Then Edmonston took Voith's meas

1923 BIC LEAGUE
LEADERS FAILING
GosIin Among Them-Horns.
by Only One in Running
to Retain Crown.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
r UNLESS Rogers Hornsby smashes
through to win the National
League batting championship
~ again-and for the eighth time
"a whole new set of title
holders probably will be crowned in the
major leagues.
With the National League champions,
st. Louis, about to share the chutes
with the Yankees, the world series pros
pect is for a combination involving the
Athletics with either Pittsburgh or Chi
cago.
Hornsby is still very much in the run
ming for National League batting hon.
ors, but Goose Goslin, 1928 American
League hitting king. is too far behind to
overtake such clubbers as Heinie Ma
nush or Jimmy Foxx, the leading con-
tenders now for this honor.
The leading pitchers of a year ago, on
the won and lost basis, Alvin Crowder
Of the Browns and Larry Benton Of the
Giants, have slumped. Meanwhile Lefty
Grove, ace of the Athletics. and Bur-
leigh Grimes, Pirate veteran. have es-
tablished leads that the rest of the
twirling talent will find difficult to over
come.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-22

The tour just ended can scarcely be
considered a successful one for the Ma
tionals. They were of to a poor start,
losing three times to the Athletics and
twice to the Yankees before moving
westward. In the far sector of the cir
cult they did much better, yet did not
go along well enough to get anywhere
near an even break for the entire
journey. Weakness at bat In the series
with the Tigers and Indians hurt the
Nationals no little.
Won s and Lost IA.
In the West Johnson's charges won
8 of II games played, to make their
record for the entire trip show eight
victories against Ia defeats.
They broke even with the Tigers in
a four-game series. but lost three of
the four engagements with the Indians.
The Nationals were given good start
In Chicago, where Braxton's excellent
pitching accounted for a victory. Then
they dropped two in a row to the Chisox,
but came back for f1fty-f1fty break,
thanks to Bob Burke's good hurting.
Fred Marberry and Burke saved the
Nationals bacon in st. Louis. Fred
did excellent relief work in his clubs
first victory there: then elaborated
with Burke in winning a double header
that gave the Nationals three wins in
five starts against the Browns. This,
by the way, was only the third win of a
series for the Nationals this season.
Their other victims in sets were the
Yankees and the Red Sox.
Left-hand pitching certainly upset
the Nationals during their three weeks
tour. In 8 of the IA games in which
they were licked, the Nationals were
licked by southpaw slabmen. Not one
of their eight wins was cleaned from a
pitcher of port side persuasion Their
rivals simply chucked all the left-hand-
ers they could against Johnsons ath-
letes and made 'em like it.

After the White Sox. the In
dians, Browns and Tigers will
visit Washington in the order
mentioned. The Cleveland crew
will play three games in Griffith
Stadium and the st. Louis and
Detroit clubs will play four each.
The Tigers are to start their set
with a double header on Saturday,
August 8, as they have the rained
out game of June to play off.
Although the Nationals still are play
ing in-and-out base ball. Manager
johnson is rather confident they will
make Drawer showing at home during
the next two weeks than they did dur
ing the long stand in Griffith Stadium
in June. Then they dropped of Is
engagements with the Western outfits
Johnsons optimism perhaps is due to
the performance of his club during the
past week. The Nationals really did
play impressively against the White Sox
and the Browns.
Improved at Bat.
The Nationals have improved to some
extent at bat recently. but while gain
ing in offensive they have weakened in
defense: The young infield, now being
used while OSsie Bluege and Joe Judge
are on the shelf with injuries, isn't
working so smoothly.
1t was quite sieve-like during the last
series in st. Louis. Joe Cronin Is hav-
Ing his troubles at shortStop these DAYS
and his erring play has affected Jack
Hayes work on the other side of the
middle sack. Harley Boss is doing right
well as understudy to Judge at first
base. despite his slump yesterday in
st. Louis. His infield mates are max
ing the Job tough for him with their
weird throws. At third base, Buddy
Myer is trying hard to handle his task,
but Bluege is sorely missed.

COMEDY OF MlSDEEDS
BRINGS FREE-FOR-ALL

ST. PAUL. July % LP.-The Wilson,
Kolp- Donohue incident had rival for
sports page prominence out here in the
American Association.
This league, especially the twin city
part of it, was having a sensation Of its
own, and it, too, had a strong Cincin-
natl flavor
In a game between Minneapolis and
ST. Paul, McMullen, Minneapolis catch
err, formerly with the Reds. spiked Belts,
ST. Paul pitcher, as the latter covered
first base on an infield drive by Nc
Mullen. Belts whirled around and threw
the ball at McMullen. whereupon Sam
my Bohne, Minneapolis coach, once
with the Reds, slammed Belts behind
the ear, downing him for the count.
Players of both clubs then met in a
rollicking free-for-all.
