GROVE, ,GEHR|G,RUTH
SHAKE UP STANDING
Lefty Masters Tigers, While
Yank SIuggers Slaughter
lndianS-Lou a Demon.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

THANKS to the good left arm
OF Robert Moses Grove and
the powerful bats of Lou
Gehrig and Babe Ruth, the
Philadelphia Athletics are lead
ing the American League again
today.
Groves invincible pitching yes
terday enabled the Athletics to
whip Detroit, 10 to 1, while Geh-
rig and Ruth were batting the
Yankees to a 17-10 victory over
Cleveland, erstwhile pace settlers
in the circuit.
These two results combined to send
the Athletics back into first place by a
margin Of one full game
Grove gave the Tigers only hits,
while the AS pounded Sorrell, Herring
and Sullivan for IA solid blows, one be-
ing Jimmy FoXXs fourteenth homer of
the year. Grove pitched hitless ball for
the first six innings, but eaSed up suff-
GENTLY in the seventh to permit the
| Tigers to score their one run on Nc
Manus' double and Alexander's triple.
Gehrig hit his sixteenth and seven
teenth and Ruth his twenty-flrst home
run IN the Yankee massacre of Cleve-
land. Hungry Lou" drove in seven
IuIlS lOL OIlC VI his DtSL DdIJllB udyS LLllS
| season. The YankS pounded Hudlin and
Shoffner for 10 runs in the first three
innings, and the game was won and lost
| beyond much doubt. Herb Pennock went
the route for the Yankees and pitched
no harder than he had to. The largest
crowd, 33 1928, that ever saw a game in
Cleveland was on hand.
In the National League the New York
Giants advanced to within a game and
half of second place by whipping the
Chicago Cubs, IA. Pete Donohue set
tied down after shaky start and held
| the Cubs safe while the Giants pounded
Blake and Teachout freely.
"Shanty" Hogan's homer with two on
| in the seventh settled the game. Dono-
| hue's chief difficulties came from Gabby
| Hartnett Cub catcher, who pounded out
his thirteenth homer, double and two
singles.
Brooklyn lost ground to the Giants
| by dropping a ga decision to the st.
Louis Cardinals. The cards took ad-
vantage of five Brooklyn errors to
score runs on as many hits. Dazzy
Vance was not as effective as usual
and gave way to Ray Moss late in the
game. The Robins blasted Grabowski
out of the box in the seventh, but
Andy High drove in four of the win
ner's runs with a homer and a triple.
/ In the only otheF National League
| game the Boston Braves beat Cincin-
natl, 4-3, behind steady pitching by
Ben Cantwell. The Reds were blanked
| for six innings, but pounded Cantwen
for two runs In the seventh and one in
| the ninth before the Braves pitcher
applied the brakes.

blow.

ture acts in the twin bill which the

three hits, as the Colonials grabbed up
a 3-to-1 verdict in the opening game
and figured Importantly in the offense

across a run. He was robbed of shut
out when a Colonial infielder erred to
let In the Crescents' only score.
Michigan Park was let down with five
hits by Gardner in the nightcap. which

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

T@HAT the Northern Red Birds are
leading the pack in the
newly organized Independent
League, following their 7-to-2
victory over the Silver Spring Giants
yesterday, is due largely to the work
of Hanson Fitzgerald, catcher and
batsman extraordinary.
Hanson is one of those players who
is either booed or cheered every time
he steps to the plate. Down at the
Terminal Park, where he catches for
Express, he is always on the receiving
end of the Bronx cheer. The cheers
and jeers were more evenly distributed
yesterday at the Silver Spring Field.
However, every time he gets the raZz
it is one Of grudging admiration more
than anything else. Fitzgerald likes
to hear the fans express themselves and
1t makes no difference what kind of
cheer he gets.
He's Mixed Character.
Fitz has a personality. It's a queer
kind of personality for 1t greatly re-
Sembles the individual characteristics
OF three more or less famous char
acters, namely Leon Goslin, the former
Wild Goose of the Potomac; Art Shires,
the chewing f1rst-Sacker of the Chisox,
and Stepin Fechit, the movie star.
When Hanson bats he swings and
misses much in the same manner as
Goslin and when he hits he also re-
sembles the new Brown, for the ball
is usually in for long ride. Then
again he chews tobacco with a We
hemence that only Art Shires can boast
Of. And lastly. he walks and runs In
a manner which gives the impression
that Stepin Fechit, reputed to be the
LATEST man in the world, is only an
imitation of the Northern catcher.
Hanson accounted for runs yester-
day, enough to win the game; driving
across 2 and bringing in himself.
But 1t wasn't how many he accounted
for, but how he did it.
The personality kid" strolled up to
the plate in the second inning and
drove out single-and what a single!
AS he pulled up at first base most of
the Northern players were contending
that If they had hit a ball that far
they would be resting on third base
instead of first.
Socks Slow Triple.
In the fourth inning Hanson socked
a triple way over by the farm house
at the other side of the field and gave
a good imitation of Dan O'Leary, the
veteran waking champ, rounding the
bases. He stopped at third amid the
caustic suggestions of the fans who
filled the Silver Spring Park to ca
pacity. But Hanson favored them
with only a gold-toothed smile and
then proceeded to score on a pro-
digious sacrifice fly by Harding.
Then in the sixth, when the North
erns were leading. 4 to 2, Hanson imi-
tated the antics Of Goslin when fan
ming, swinging from the end of his bat,
and again only smiling when the fans
voiced their feelings.
Meanwhile the Giants were making
threatening gestures, so when Fitz came
up in the eighth he put the game on
ice with q duplicate of his bingle in
the fourth. If anything, the ball was
hit farther and, not only that, but it
was lost in the grass. Any way, his
feet hurt and he had sore finger to

match. so he managed to make third
by close margin.
The Wild Goose Of Silver Spring re-
peated the tanning process in the ninth,
but, strangely enough, the jeers had be-
come scarce as he walked back to the
bench However, Hanson was satisfied.
We'll, I've done pretty good day IS
work for an old man." said he.
While his battery mate was terroriz-
ing the Giants in an offensive way,
Lefty Mcintyre was giving a good ex-
hibition of pitching. allowing the Giants
scattered hits, while tanning 8.
Its good thing pitched yester-
day." said Lefty in the fourth inning,
otherwise wouldn't be warmed up at
all. AS it is, the two runs they got
came before I really got hot. When
you see my leg go up, then you know
I'm right"
He then proceeded to go out on the
mound in the fourth and his leg went
up, a la Marberry, and after making Nc
Gam hit an easy roller to him he
struck out Schrider and Wheeler on
eight pitched balls.

ST. ALBAN'S ENJOYS
GOOD SPORTS YEAR
School Gets a New Athletic
Leader, Rev. Henderson
Giving Up Post.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

THINGS looked up athletically at
st. Adams School during the
academic year just closed. The
showing of the Cathedral School
teams in all sports was highly satisfac-
tory and augurs we'll for the future.
In line with the policy to develop the
athletic and recreational program of
the school along broad and efficient
lines enlargement of the physical edu-
cation department has been effected
for the next academic year, it has been
announced by the Rev. A. H. Lucas,
headmaster.
Decides to Retire.
Upon his own request Rev. James
Henderson has retired as athletic dt-
rector and will be succeeded by A.
Robertson Middleton, former Haverford
College foot ball and track Stalwalt.
Rev. Henderson, who has handled the
athletic directors post in fine style
for the past IL years, will not, however,
drop completely out of the sports pic
ture. The popular instructor will con-
tinue to coach the base ball team. A
new position has been created, that of
filled by Capt. Sandee Marriott, Uni
versity of California man, who is well
equipped for the post. George Hard
man, who coached the basket ball team
and assisted in the tutoring Of the
foot ball eleven, has resigned. He will
prepare for the ministry. A. j. Todd
will continue as a coach, and Rev.
Lucas has indicated another athletic
tutor may be appointed;
Walter Brewer, who played third base
on the ball team, halfback on the foot
ball eleven and was captain and for
ward on the basket ball qutnt has been
awarded the Robert Rice Cup, pre-
sented annually for all-around athletic
ability. He also was presented the
medal for leading the team in batting.
He stung the ball at a ASS pace. Brew
er will enter the University of Virginia
in the Fall.
Shipper to Lead Nine.
Ned Shippen, clever right fielder on
the base ball team the past season, has
been elected captain of the 1881 nine.
Shipper also is captain of the foot ball
team for the coming Fall.
In recognition of their sturdy show
ing 10 members of the ball team have
been presented gold base balls.
They are: Bill Williams, catcher;
Eddie Crouch, retiring captain, pitch
er: Brewer, Kelsey, first basemen; Ned
Weeden, second baseman; Bob Lorton,
shortstop; Kidder. left fielder; Frank
Sterrett, center fielder; Shipper and
Bits Chesley, utility.
OF this group Williams, Crouch,
Weeden and Kidder will be lost along
with Brewer to next seasons nine.

NAVY CREWS WIN
GIVES EAST HOPES
Far West Dangerous, How
ever, Over Poughkeepsie'S
Longer Route.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NOUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 49,
- Nays victory over California at
Princeton on Saturday has
strengthened the East's hopes OF
victory in the varsity race of the Inter-
collegiate Rowing Association regatta here
on June rs. That does not mean, however,
that the Far West is to be counted out
of the picture in advance of the actual
race.
Nays triumph was gained at the
sprint distance of mile and three
quarters. The Poughkeepsie classic is
at miles, and rowing history is full
of instances where crack Spring crews
failed at Poughkeepsie in the longer
grind.
Bearing this in mind, the experts
still are ready to venture an unqualified
opinion to the effect that odd Dick
Glendon has developed quite a crew at
Annapolis, a crew that seems certain
to be extremely tough to beat on June
IS. Glendon's men started their sea-
son by losing to Columbia by a few
feet, but since then they've trimmed
Syracuse. Harvard. Massachusetts, Tech,
Cornell, Penn, California and Princeton
and seemed much smoother and more
powerful aggregation on Saturday than
earlier in the season.
California was beaten on Saturday by
half q length, but the Golden Bears
provided the big thrill of the race near
the finish line when they raised their
stroke to 43 and kept it there. They
gained on the leading Midshipmen, but
not enough to avert their second de-
feat Of the season. Washington, an
other Far Western representative at
Poughkeepsie, beat the Golden Bears in
a close finish early in the season.
Nineteen crews have arrived, leaving
only Washington and Wisconsin to put
in an appearance. These two crews
meet at Madison today.

The Matter of Fouls.

The Matter Of Fouls.
THE suggestion for handling the foul
4 situation In boxing, offered in this
column once before, is presented
again. There should be foul check
issued with every ticket, just as there
Is rain check" for base ball, and in
case Of foul there should be a return
match at which all foul checks" should
be good for admission without any
ADDED charge. The two fighters would
get only the original purses offered,
without any additional compensation.
In the last three heavyweight matches
bearing on the title-Scott-Vo Porat.
scott Sharkey, Sharkey Schmelinr-
over 10000 spectators have paid ont
over million dollars to see three fouI
nights that should have come under the
head of no contest"
This is too ridiculous to call for any
further comment. 1t only shows the
incredible ability OF the fight fan TO
SOAK up punishment. When a foul is
committed there is no contest, for which
the spectators pay their money.
II the boxing commissions and the
promoters have any slight desire to
protect the public. they can put this
plan through. If they haven't any such
desire, 1t Is only question of time be-
fore the battered and groggy public
Will 90 ltS own protecting.
The British Open.
THE qualifying rounds for the Brit
l. ish open start today and close
Tuesday afternoon, where the sur
vivors set out on Thursday in pursuit
OF the title at ~ holes.
On the American side there will be
Bobby Jones, Horton Smith, Leo Diegel,
Mac Smith, George Won Elm and Don
Moe as the leading contenders and one
Of these should be good enough to win.
Against these the British will offer
Archie Compston, young Henry Cotton,
Abe Mitchell, George Duncan and
others who have been struggling to
check the American tide for the last
9 or 10 years.
There are more than the usual num-
ber of interesting angles to this cham
pionShip over the seaside links of Hoy
lake, the battle ground that gave John
Ball and Harold Hilton to golf. One
will be Bobby Jones effort to win his
second British title within three weeks,
an achievement that would leave him
wearing three crowns at once.

BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Another will be the duel between
Jones and Horton Smith, the young
Missouri professional, who has been
abroad six weeks getting ready for this
test. A third will be the charge of Leo
Diegel, the p. G.. A. champion, who
now seems to be at the peak. A fourth
point will be the British effort, headed
by CompSton and Cotton, to check the
American attack, one of the strongest
in many years.
AS usual on the other side, lot will
depend on the weather. Hoylake on a
quiet day and Hoylake in a cold or
rainy gale-with the seven or eight
out-of-boundS that wait for the har-
asSed er1try-are two entirely different
battleflelds. And after a long spell of
dry and warm weather, Hoylake is about
due for the other type.
Hagen and Jones.
WALTER HAGEN, who won last
w year, will be absent from this en-
gagement. Hagen and Jones have
won six of these championships, Hagen
leading with four victories. Jones has
won his last two starts, and he will
again be favored above the field, for at
70 holes Of medal play it will take great
golf to beat him back. Accurate driv-
ing Is one of the features of Hoylake's s
play, and Jones driving will give him a
decided advantage, If he is hitting his
tee shots up to the usual standard.
Horton Smith expects to make a far
better showing than he made a year
ago on his first invasion, and If his
most as dangerous as Jones.
Big League Snags.
T Asst Summer the Athletics and Cubs
- ran away with the two pennant
races. They looked to be equipped
this last Spring for another romp. But
it is quite apparent now that several
things have happened to break up their
April dreams. The Athletics, first
watching the Yankees, have suddenly
discovered that the Cleveland Indians
and the Washington Senators can play
their share of base ball, and with July
coming on neither has shown any sign
OF slipping or cracking up.
The Cubs are in an even tighter spot,
with a flood Of hard luck to fight
against. They have the Dodgers and
Giants to reckon with, and both are
good enough to win pennant, the final
outcome depending largely on the breaks
that always decide any close race.
1t is said that Primo Camera and
George Godfrey have now trained down
to combined weight of 5l8 pounds,
which still leaves them about S ounces
above the flyweight class.
