TO Be BOX RIVALS
Nationals First Sacker to
Get Many Gifts-Tigers
Beaten at Start.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

b1 JOHN b. hELLER.
JUDGE day tomorrow at Grit
fifth Stadium and a two-way
chance for fans to have a
great time. Not only by
their presence will they aid In
making the day fine one for
the finest first baseman that ever
donned a Washington uniform.
but they also probably will wit
ness a stirring contest between
Nationals and Tigers if the rival
managers stick to their pitching
choices for the week end clash.
Walter Johnson has said he will
send Irving Hadley to the hill
against the Detroit club, while
Bucky Harris expects to have Vic
tor Sorrell on the firing line.
Should these fellows pitch up to
recent performances the battle
ought to be red hot.
Hadley has started against the Tigers
only once this season and then he took
q beating, but the start was back in
May when Bump wasn't in the pink.
Lately he has been going through his
games In splendid style and looks the
pitcher he was when a top-notcher
back IL 1927. SorreI has faced the
Nationals twice this season. He was
barely beaten here, but in Detroit he
licked them handily. There is pos
eran George Uhle, but Sorrell seems in
line now for tomorrow's tuSSle.
Manager Johnson says he intends to
keep in action the same lineup that
mauled the Tigers IL to yesterday in
the opener of the three-game series.
Which means that Dave Harris, late of
Chicago, will be in right field; Sam Rice
in center and Joe Judge at first base,
with the other positions filled by play
ers who have been in them some time.
"It's the most powerful offensive line
up we have mustered this season." the
Washington pilot contends, 80 why
change it?"
nLENTY of ceremony is planned for
I Judge day. Bands and everything.
Three musical organizations are
to fill the air with sweet melody,
Jim McNamara-who is the big whoo-
pee man of Judge day-declares. The
ElkS' Boys Band will be at Griffith
Stadium. So will the band of Victory
Post of the American Legion and the
overseas Band of the Veterans of For
eign Wars. And the playing will start
early, too.
Al and Nick win put on their stuff,
too. These coaches can put it on. They
rarely do their comedy stunts here, but
In other parks of the circuit they go
over in. big way. A burlesque of the
recent Schmeling -Sharkey flaSco will
be done by Schacht and Altrock. And
the referee? None other than Arthur
Whatanlan Shires, who knows some
thing of the ring game himself. Presl-
dent Clark Griffith has said he will
permit Art to be the third man in the
party.
eThereu be other talent to entertain
the crowd before the game starts.
Everybody around Washington in the
entertainment business seems to want
to make it great day for Judge.
Among his great admirers is 6-year-old
Shirley June Blake, who will do a
specially dance. And Jimmy Lake,
theatrical director as well as polished
announcer of affairs pugiliStic, has said
he will have some performers on hand.
At 3:15, the presentations to Judge
will be made. The main one-that OF
the check representing the portion OF
the gate receipts at the game relin-
duished to the veteran first baseman by
the Washington and Detroit clubs-wlll
be made by Judge Robert E. Mattingly
of the D. C. Municipal Court, rabid
base ball fan who believes Joe the best
ever seen here around first base. Judge
Is to get big cake, too, from big
time baking company, gold wrist
watch, a gift of Washington Jewelry
concern to be handed over by Radio
Joe kaufman, always a Judge booster,
and an immense floral horseshoe,
present from one Of Washington's larg-
est florists. Lots of other gifts also.
There'll be much to see at Griffith
Sta adium on Judge day. Get there early
and take in the whole show.
4 MOTHER big inning yesterday en-
"A abled the Nationals to romp to
their sixth win in a row. They
hoped on Earl Whitehill right off the
reel and licked him for the third time
this season. Five hits, three passes
and three errors got the left-hander of
the slab before the second out of the
round was made. Myer started the
attack with triple. then Rice, Manush
and Cronin singled in succession. Harris
and Judge walked. Bluege lofted sac
rifice fly and Funk made a poor throw
after catching it. Four runs: Ruel
walked, Marberry singled and johnson
fumbIed the hit. Two more runs.
Alexander made a wild chuck after
whitehill's heave trapped Marberry of
first and the seventh run crossed. What
O start.
Manager Harris yanked Whitehill
when the pitcher started to walk Myer,
SO Buddy got his second hit of the in
ming off Art Herring, right-hander
Herring stopped the scoring for time
but the Nationals nicked him for 9
more hits to make their total II, and
picked up more runs at his expense.
Fred Marberry yielded 10 hits, but he
kept them well spread outside the eighth
inning, when the Tigers punched four
for their last two tallieS. But tnen
Fred could afford to go along easily.
It was a coast for him after that first
inning.
TWO homers were clouted, both into
l. the open stand back OF left neld.
Tony Rensa, who took over the
Tiger catching job after Funk's first
inning wild throw cut HayworthS sup
per lip severely and forced the recelv-
er's retirement. picked on Maroerry lot
one in the fifth with no one on. Dave
Harris hit the other in the eighth With
Cronin on. 1t was driven to the upper
tiers of the stand, a powerful wallop.
Lots of action by the Nationals. Myer,
Manush and Harris collected three hits
each. Manush and Harris in the sixth
inning negotiated a double steal, with
Manush scoring. Marberry got two hits.
Some by the Tigers, too. Fothergill,
batting for Stone in the fourth made
his first pinch hit of the season. Nc
Manus almost lost a hand when he
tried to stop Rice's smash in the first
and had to give way to Rogell in the
seventh inning. And Fothergill made
the Tigers last error by aimlessl" re-
turning Myers double and letting
Buddy get an extra base in the sixth.
Ad Liska, minus two teeth, was out
in uniform again after a two-day lay
off. He took a workout and may pitch
