FIFTH WIN IN ROW
SWAMPS THE TRIBE
Braves Climb Into First Di-
vision by Winning Twice
From Reds.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

HLOW but sure the New York Yam
KEGS are pounding their way back
\ to the top of the American
League pennant race, and they
are doing the trick with their powerful
bats. Apparently unnoticed, the Yankees
have slipped up to within one game of
the league-leading Athletics and hold
jointly with the Senators and Indians
the runner-up position.
Starting five days ago at Detroit the
Yankees began pounding the ball all
over the field, with the result that they
have won their last five games.
In accounting for the five contests
Babe Ruth and company put together
80 hits for SO runs-enough of each
to win several ball games.
The Cleveland Indians fell victims to
the Yankees big bats yesterday for the
when Roy Sherid held them to seven
scattered hits. Lou Gehrig connected
with his eighteenth home run of the
season among his four hits, while Earl
Combs and Harry Rice also combed
four Indian hurlers for four hits each.
The Senators had a chance to move
out in front, as the Athletics were idle,
but Walter Johnston'S team found the
st. Louis Browns in one of their hit
ting moods, so lost, IL to 9.
Red Sox Pound Ball.
The Boston Red Sox hammered three
White Sox pitchers hard to win, 8 to 5.
The game closed the White Sox first
home stand against the Eastern clubs
and left them with only four victories
IN IL games. The triumph was BoS-
tons fifth over Chicago in six games.
In contrast to yesterdays free-hit-
ting, free scoring contests, the Pitts
burgh Pirates and Philadelphia PhillieS
locked in a pitchers duel to feature
the abbreviated National League sched-
ule. The Phillies won, to 4, in 10
innings.
Chester Nichols, playing his first year
with the PhillieS, and Southpaw Larry
French, were the opposing hurlers. They
were hit hard at times, but managed
to keep the batters' hits we'll scattered
The teams were tied at four-all going
into the tenth, but Lefty O'Doul came
through with single to score Sothern
with the winning run.
Pie Traynor led the Pirates 4-run at
tack in the sixth, sending the ball over
the right field fence. Klein hit safely
in his twenty-sixth consecutive game
The Boston Braves climbed into the
first division, eight games back of the
pace-setting Robins, with a double
header victory over the Cincinnati
Reds. Aided by some brilliant relief
pitching on the part of Frank Frank
house. a recent acquisition from the
Cardinals, the Braves won the opener
to 4, and then accounted for the
nightcap, 10 to 5.

Sandlot base ball is on the up-and-ur

When the Union Printers played there

There probably is no class of ball
players who are more particular, about
umpires than sandlotters-the unlimit-

Harry Fiddlesop, veteran trainer of
the st. Mary's Celtics, offers an inter-
esting sidelight on umpires and sand

1T is my opinion that most sandlot
players have more faith in an umpire who
has been a ball player before than in

as good, If not better, than an ex-star. -

Rain held up the finish of the first
half of four of the five week day

The annual rush of the managers OF
the week day league teams is on! AL

wholesale abandon in a wild effort to
add strength for the second half of the

respect. Almost the entire roster OF

OLD COUNTY RIVALS
WILL CLASH SUNDAY

HYATTSVILLE, Md, June 10
Much interest Is being manifested in
the base ball game between Hyattsville
and Mount Rainier A. G. to be staged
Sunday, at 3 o'clock, on the Riverdale
field.
A clash between these teams always
is of more than usual interest because
Of the long-standing rivalry, but Sum
days game Is particularly important as
the teams are tied for first place in the
Prince Georges County section Of the
Capital City League unlimited class.
Each has won four games and lost one.
Mount Rainier will be out to avenge
loss suffered by one run at the hands
Of HyattSville in f1rSt-round play in one
Of the opening games OF the county
section.
Hyattsville probably will start Tom
Mudd, Its mound ace, against Mount
Rainier. 1t was Mudd who turned back
the Mounts in the first game. Mount
Rainier has several pitchers available.
One of the reasons for the success Of
the Pierce A. c. base ball team so far
this season has been the potent batting
Of Frank Jarboe, center fielder. All he
has done is to pound out II hits out of
81 tries, for an average Of 1895. In the
eight games in which he participated
he has famed just once. He also has
played fine ball afield, having made
only one error.
Spencer Chase, who starred at first
base during the past season for Bust
ness High. Washington, and Is holding
forth at third for Pierce, also is setting
merry pace at bat, his average be-
ing .529. One of his clouts was homer
Stanley O'Donnell, first baseman, is
singing the ball for .485, and he has
garnered two homers and three triples,
with other safe smacks.
jeff Small is Pierce's leading pitcher,
having won two games in as many
starts.
Pierce will meet Hyattsville Southern
Methodists Saturday afternoon, at 3
o'clock, in Magruder Park here.

SANDLOT LEADERS
UPHOLD PROTESTS
Two Out of Five Are Turned
Down by Capital City
League Chieftains.

1--WE protests have been acted
~ upon by officials of the Capital
City League with three of them
sustained.
Mount Rainier's victory over Berwyn
June g. by a score of 40, was thrown
out and the game ordered replayed
because Nelson Colley, who played
third base for Mount Rainier for half
an inning, was ineligible. Colley was
removed when his 1neligibility was dis
covered
A game Rockville won by 80 from
the Chevy Chase GrayS will stand.
The Grays held that they played in
downpour and that the umpire called
the game after five innings and didn't
remain to see II play could be resumed.
A protest by the Metropolitans that
Lester Dixon Of the Nolan Motor Co.
was over-age was not allowed. Dixon's
birth records revealed him to be 20.
A game between the National Capital
Insects and Columbians was awarded
to the National Capitals on the ground
that the Columbians had used Scafide
under an assumed name. This de-
| cision returned the National Capitals
to first place with q clean slate of
victories.
Because the Joe Cronins used Sol
WeinStein under the name of Rhodes,
the Colony Theater team was awarded
game in the peewee class which the
Cronins won by 22-2.
Manager Deutermann of the Bauser-
man Motor Co. team, has retained
Bonnie Wormesley, Calvert Hull and
Bernie Mccarthy as his pitchers in the

sign were given. they would be able
to read the sign and tip off the
batter what type of ball was being
delivered. But with three signs, the
base runner does not know whether
only one Of them counts, or whether
two or all three are the code.
While at first glance the signs
appear complicated and difficult,
they are comparatively simple. The
catcher simply gives three distinct
finger signs before every pitch. If
he wants a curve ball thrown he
shows the pitcher three signs with
his fingers, the total fingers shown
being an uneven number-three, five,
seven or nine.
If he wants a fast ball thrown,
the fingers shown must total an
even number-four, six, eight or ten.
If he wants waste ball thrown,
he repeats the same finger sign
three times.

series. Another will appear shortly.

Cronin and Goslin hit homers, Joe
into the left-field stand with one on
and the Goose over the right-field stand
with one on. The Goose's was the big
gest homer, for it put the Browns In

THERE was flock of scoring in the
l. first three frames Singles by Rice
and MaEuSh and Heinie's erasure

gave the Nationals tally in the first
inning, while BluegeS single and Ruel's
triple were good for a second inning
marker.
The Browns got three in the second,
all after two were out. Hayes dropped
throw from Bluege that If held would
have retired the side and put O'Rourke
on. Ferrell's double scored Frank and
after Blaeholder strolled Blue hit for
two bases to put over two more runs.
The Nationals went back into the
lead in the third when West walked
as a starter and Cronin, after two were
out, poled the ball into the left-fleld
stand for a homer.
Another error, this time by Myer,
let the Browns go into the lead in the
fifth. Buddy fumbled to put Blue on
at the beginning of the round and
after McNeely went out Goslin made
st. Louis fans like the Manush-and-
Crowder-for- the-Goose trade by lofting
homer over the right-field stand. A
pass to O'Rourke and his theft of sec

Words and Music by John J. Dubb.
I slice and hook and foozle;
toozLe, slice and hook;
And tClIen get my StCirg In shape,
Mt my head to look.
Tue found the cure for slctnD
Brings hooking as its price;
And any cure for hooking
Is rGU meat for slice.
Some day I'll learn the secret,
No more to shed sad tears;
III get the combination if
hue nine hundred gears.
The Other Side.
THE managing directors of Max
i Schmeling have shown how the
German can make 100000 by
next June without fighting a lick until
that date. In carrying out this program
they will also more than likely get the
top of his block knocked off at his next
appearance, which may or may not be
worth 100000.
BY next June Schmeling will have
fought three and a fraction rounds in
two years. And this is between the ages
of % and rs, just when he should be
learning and developing, increasing his
skill, his speed, his stamina and his
hitting power.
Eleven minutes of actual fighting, I'M
der fire, between the ages of % and rs,
will leave him easy picking for almost
any f1rst-class man he may meet, pro-
Vided Schmeling isn't a superman. And
Max isn't a super man. He is just a
smart, game young fellow, who could
have been made a f1rst-class heavy
weight through proper training and
enough actual fighting.
