@ORNELTUs McGMLI-
CUDDY alone of the
base ball fraternity out
side Of Washington
seems willing to admit the Ma
tionals are anything but a
flash in the pam"
Early in the campaign the
sauve leader of the Athletics,
cornered here, allowed as how
the Washington team would be
"the one to beat"
With that statement the
veteran mahout of the White
Elephants proved he either was
an astute judge, a diplomat or
both, but to date these qualities
have been displayed by no one
else connected in an active or
repertorial capacity with the
national pastime.
Even Mickey Cochrane, cagey
ace of the Mackian mittmen,
refuses to accord anything bet
ter than third place to the Ma
tionals, and Manager Bob the
Cob Shawkey can't see them
beating out his YankS or the
world champions.
Well, maybe they won't. But
Berth No. 3 in the standing of
the clubs is quite an improve
ment over the seventh place as
signed to them almost univer-
sally before the season started.
And they'll prove a distinct sur
prise to the Winter book dope
sters If they land in the first
division.
THERE is no such thing as a
L corner on Sagacity so far
as pennant races are concerned.
I distinctly recall a confab
with Connie Mack following
Washington'S initial triumph
in 1924, in which he dubbed the
Griffmen a one years wonder.
While not attempting to take
any credit from them for their
victory, he opined they did not
constitute the type of team
capable Of remaining on top.
That was the season Bucky
Harris gang ended New York's
second three-year reign.
Mack proved wrong then, for
the following campaign they
again triumphed in the Ameri-
can League, and this time 1t
was Comics crew that the
Griffmen nosed out Of the
championship.
i" A RENT they playing over
"A their heads; batting bet
ter than they know how?"
Sure they are. Pennant win
ming teams usually do. No one
expects Rice to continue fail
ing the ball at better than q 400
clip or the club as a whole to

REGRETS STYM|E
DECIDED BATTLE
Declares He Felt Six Years
Older After 19-HoIe is
Match With ToIIey.
BY o. b. KELLER,
For the Associated PrAas.

= T. ANDREWS, Scotland, Maya
- There have been better golf and
more protracted battles than in
the big match of the British
amateur championship yesterday. when
Bobby Jones defeated Cyril Tolley ut
the nineteenth hole, but have never
witnessed its equal for fighting spirit
and unbridled ferocity.
Never more than one hole apart, the
match was squared six times and I'm
squared finally by a long-range stymie
at the extra hole. Immediately after
the battle Jones said
II was frightfully lucky to win. All
through the match had an uneasy
feeling that Cyril was hitting the bah
better than I was; certainly he was
driving better. I never had any conn.,
dence in my putting and must confess
this was one match which felt all
along was going to lose.
Praises TOlIey's Pitch.
"Tolley's tiny pitch over the bunker
close to the flag at the seventeenth was
the most exquisite shot I ever saw.
After outmaneuvering him, as thought,
and aided by a good break, suddenly
found myself with an 8-foot putt for
half to keep the match level. I'm
guess its just as we'll for me that 1t
did. feel six years older than I did
this morning"
The English champion said he en-
joyed every minute Of the match. "It
was q great battle" declared Tolley.
THAT little pitch over the bunker ct
the road hole was the best shot ever
played In my life AS for the stymie. I
left myself open by loose play. It IL the
fortune of war"
Outdrive Jones.
To the Americans scattered through
the gallery of at least $4,000, It seemed
incredible that Bobby was being out
driven with such devastating effect %
at the ninth, twelfth and fourteenth
holes. Tolly reached the green ut the
306-yard ninth while he was across the
green and near the pin at the 314-yard
twelfth. At the 527-yard fourteenth,
he was 100 yards ahead Of Bobby6
pulled shot and four feet from the pin
with his pitch for an eagle three to
square the match once more after
Jones' 12-yard putt at the thirteenth
had sent the American open title
holder out in front.
At the home hole, two huge wallopS
$40 yards through the evening breege
put both clipping range, but Cyril was
10 yards In front Of Jones. The battle
was witnessed by the second largest
gallery ever saw and was played in o
half gale under a bright sky on greens
30 hard and fast that ice would have
held q pitch as well. Bobby was lucky
to win, but I have never seen anything
finer than his tremendous fight to finish
with Q game so nearly out Of control
and q magnificent adversary, who met
him point for point and hole for hole.

ief for Mackmen FrightIll Lucky to VIM Says Jones
ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON

maintain its pace Of batting far
in excess Of 800, any more
than they think Jones, Liska
and Burke will 60 through the
season indicated.
Slumps come to the best Of
them and the Nationals, indi-
vidually and collectively, will
have theirs. But there is no
law against recovering from
them. And that's where the
margin they now are piling up
will prove helpful. They can
skid, when the time comes,
but if they come out of 1t will
still be among the leaders and
in contending position.
THE extent to which the Ma
tionals can fiop and still
have a chance for first prize
becomes apparent from a
glance at how titles have been
acquired in the years gone by.
WaShington's present win
ming percentage of .730 never
has been achieved by any Amer
lean League club over the
course of a season. The near
est approach was by the
Yankees in 1927, when they
chalked up TIA in setting their
high winning record of 10
games, as against A defeats.
Those 10 wins equal the feat
Of Fred Clarke'S Pittsburgh Pr
rates in the 1909 National
League race and stand second
only to the 116 victories
achieved by Frank Chances
Chicago titleholders of 1906, so
far as major league competition
Is concerned.
AS a matter of fact, the 1927
Yankees are the only club in
the American Leagues 80 sea-
sons of existence which has at
tanned as high as a TOO mark,
and in only eight of the three
decades has the flag winner
registered 100 or more victories.
On the other hand, the pen
nant has been won, under a
1S4-game schedule, with a per-
centage as low as .588, which
were the figures set by the De-
troit Tigers with their 90 wins
and So losses in 1908.
In the past 10 years, during
which the So-called rabbit ball
and other modern playing con-
SiderationS figure, the average
Of the pennant winning teams
has been SO victories and SIS de-
featS for percentage of Sal.
To equal that the Nationals
would have to maintain a .612
pace over the remainder Of the
route, winning II while losing
As.
Don't bet they won't do it.

Schools leading rival for staying

Brownies Advance.
Giving away two runs In the first
inning, Stewart pitched shutout ball for
the next seven frames, while his mates
pulled up into q tie In the seventh and
won out with q two-run rally In the
eighth. The victory put the Browns in
sixth place, moving the Chicago White

YESTERDAYS GAME.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ iris will be boysl
Those fair rooters who turn
out Sunday after Sunday to
cheer for Brooke Grubb's Sill
yer Spring Giants may be sorely tempt
ed to voice their Partially for the New
York Bloomer Girls when these unde-
feated champions appear on the Silver
Spring field Sunday at 8 o'clock.
The men. of course, will redouble their
efforts in the cheering section. It would
never do for these Bloomer Girls to win,
yet the Giants had better watch their
step, for these young ladies play snap
py brand OF base ball If advance press
notices mean anything.
TT Is unfortunate Tin a financial way
i that this rare novelty of boys VS..
girls must come on the same day
the game between the leagle-leading
Nationals and the Athletics at the local
ball orchard, but it's a safe bet that
there'll not be many empty seats in the
Silver Spring Park.
THE female champs come here her
J. aided as having quite an array of
sluggers, featuring Babe" McCut-
tun, Toots Andres, Ethel Condor and
Evelyn Lynch, the latter a Washington
girl.
Again we must warn the Giants to
look out!
WESLEY McDONALDS Interstate
w team had been going along in the
Government League almost I'M
noticed, while the other four teams,
rated as much superior by the so-called
experts, were busy humping each other
off.
But in the ninth inning of their game
yesterday with the league-leading @. p.
0. team fans woke to the realization
that if Reese Hair Interstate pitcher,
could retire the next three batters, his
team would be tied for first place.
Two unfortunate errors by Second
Baseman Rittner Of Interstate in this
inning aided G. p. o. to put over the
in a 7-to-7 deadlock.
THE combination Of Hair and Mudd
l. worked well, and with better sup
port Hair would have pitched In
| terstate into first place. Frank Corkins
started for G.. p. o. and retired in the
| fourth after the McDonaldmen had
scored their seven runs of of him.
Bob Lyon, undoubtedly the best south
| paw in the loop succeeded Corkins and
seemed to delight in getting in hot
water and then pouring cold water on
Interstate's hopes for he pitched fouI

scoreless inning, although 10 Of the 81
batters to face him got on base.
Lyon also singled twice in two times
up, his base hit in the ninth with two
out starting the three-run rally.
TODAY'E feature in the week day
l. leagues will be the Pullman Wash
ington Terminal game. A win for
Pullman will virtually assure 1t of the
flrst-half pennant in the Terminal "Y"
League.
The other big attraction will be the
Navy Yard-Naval Hospital contest
Navy Yard, although out of the race,
put the Union Printers out of the run
ming, and may do the same with Naval
Hospital, though Sailors are favored by
many to win the first half.
