Judge, Rice, Goslin Blast Way
To Nationals 5-tO-4 Victory

long enough to move Rice to third had
the ball been cleanly handled.
Russell Scarritt, Red Sox left gardener,
kicked in with an error, however, let
ting the sphere bound by him and Rice
continued home with the important
tally Of the fray.
This big Washington session ended a
battle between Carley Rufing, Boston
hurler, and MarberTy, in which Rufing
had for seven innings completely shaded
his rival. But two hits had been made
of the Red Sox hurler before the
rallying round and they were not made
until the seventh inning. A pass was
sandwiched between them, though, and
they Melted q brace of markers.
Marberry in his eight innings was
nicked for seven safeties, one of them
a homer by Phil Todt. 1t was q drive
over the right field wall and opened
the second inning. The game was
finished by Myles Thomas, Washington's
newest pitcher. He issued but one pass
in the ninth before the contest was
ended by a nashy double-play started
by Bluege.
Marberry received credit for the vic
tory inasmuch as the Nationals were in
front when Thomas went in to pitch,
so Fred now has a record of five wins
in q row rs q starter. In scoring his
four previous victories, however, he
went the route each time.
Walter johnson was given a good
luck token in the form Of a four-leaf
clover by boys and girls of the All Club
before the game. The young farmers
and farmerets here from all over the
country as guests Of the Department
| of Agriculture also made Walter, a
fellow-farmer, an honorary member of
their organization.
West showed a fine arm when he
heaved to Bluege and tagged Running
for a double-play after bagging Reeves
hoist to deep center in the fifth. Running
was a surprised man when he slid into
the ball in Bluege's hands.

johnson during the two days
Boss has been here has paid par
ticular attention to the recruit in
work afield and at bat. Harley
has given his chief plenty to
praise in fielding drills. The agile
Louisiana boy has Scampered
about the first sack to dig 'em out
pf the dirt, pull 'em down from the
air and take 'em full in the paws
and he has heaved the ball with
speed and accuracy. He's just as
fine a looking prospect af1eld as
he was last season when he came
up from Little Rock and then
President Griffith was certain the
Nationals had a great first sacker
in the making in Boss.
Johnson has not yet had time TO
gauge Boss hitting ability. for the
youngster has yet to look over pitching
that has anything on 1t. But in the
wand drills Harley has been taking
healthy cuts at the ball and smacking
it soundly. johnson is confident there
is power aplenty in Boss arms. The
only question concerns the youngsters
eye. Can he follow fast ones and curves
and follow them well enough to time
swings? That's what johnson intends
to learn during the next few days. for
he viii have Boss swinging at pitching
that is not merely throwing in special
batting practice.
Depends ON hating.
Should the youngster indicate that he
possesses real batting ability. he viii
be hustled into the game. Not as q
regular. Of course. but as a substitute
for q few innings whenever johnson
believes it q good time to test Boss
under fire. A first baseman who can add
power to the teams offensive Is needed.
Washington club officials feel. and If
Boss can provide such power 1t might
not take him long to gain q regular
berth.
The washington infield has been ex-
perimental from the beginning. Coming
up from the Southern training fields, it
was thought the inner Gordon was
established with Judge at first, Hayes
at second, Bluege at short and Myer at
third. But Hayes began to droop and
Bluege was shifted to the middle sack
and Cronin promoted from the bench
to the shortfeld. Then the clubs Of
nation of Judge and Gooch ut first base
was tried. This did not last long.
When Bluegeis trick knee went out
of business, Hayes was returned to
second and played whale of a game.
This kept Bluege on the bench until
johnson became dissatisfied with Myers
defensive play at the far corner when
Bluege returned to his old berth at third.
Now johnson has decided Hayes is
through" for a time at least and has
busted him. sending to second the player
who was not strong enough defensively
to take care of the third base job.
And it looks as though the next ex-
perimenting viii be done at first base.

One of the feature battles of tho present schedule in the Industrial Baseball league is carded for to- night at Walnut Hill park when Landers, Frary & Clark meets Stan ley Rule on Diamond No. ? at 5:30 o'clock
 The UniversS1s face the opportu- nifty of again getting back into a tie for first place with the Stanley Works team which now stands a halt game ahead by virtue of its win Tuesday night over the American Paper Goods team.

Associated Press Sports Writer)
 New York, July II P}-Although America packs a powerful double Darreled tennis threat in the capable persons of it's two Helens-Wils and Jacobs-an earnest search now IS under way for worthy material with which to back them up in the Wight man cup team matches 10 be played at Forest Hills in August.
 England won last year because of better secondary strength and the surpassng skill of it's team in doubles play. The master minds be- hind the present campaign are none too confident that the two Helens. both Of whom were on the team last year, will be able 10 turn back the British invasion unaided.
 The current series promises 10 hold more interest than any other in the last three or four years as each nation has three victories 10 it's credit since the trophy was placed in competition in 1923 and the win her at Forest Hills will forge into the lead.
 Calling upon it's reserves to pro- vide d third singles player and also 10 produce the strongest possible partners for the two Helens in doubles, the United States either can call upon the old guard which includes such veterans as Mrs. Molla Mallory and Miss Eleanor Goss or turn 10 it's I'D and coming young girls for assistance. It now looks as though the latter course will be followed.
 Although Miss Goss has been playing sterling tennis in this coun- try of late, the non- playing captain of last years team is exceedingly unlikely to be called upon in an active role this season, as is Mrs Mallory who was uniformly unsuc- cessful in her two appearances in the 1928 series at Wimbledon.
 One of the comparative kids who may get the call is that dainty and promising miss, 'Midge" Glad man, a student at the University of Southern California and player who appears ready fer her baptism of international fire. It is not inn probable that she will be called up- on 10 play the odd singles match.
 Miss Marjorie Morrill, of Dedham, Mass, No. in the national rank ing, a notch ahead Of Miss Clad man, is another likely candidate for , this assignment.
 Miss Edith Cross of San Francisco 0 proved something of disappoint- | ment in European play, but 1t is probable that she will be teamed l with Miss Wills in double never thclcss. Tn" two Hclcns, the keen cs' of rivals, have never been got ten together is partners and that feat probably will not be achiev, q this time.
 Considerable thought will be used in picking the doubles teams as il l is in thls department that the Brit l tsh held the edge which enabled l them 10 win last year. With two | teams in the finals at Wimbledon they appear 10 be fully as strong 1T i tandem play this season.
