Wilmer Allison and John Van
Ryn took the measure of the Ger
man combination of Gotfried Won
Cramm and Daniel Prem in
straight sets, 6-3, "a, 6-1.
:, The Americans had begun the
days play with a determination
to put all they had into the
match, which. as result of each
teams having won one of yes
terday's single matches, was re-
garded as the deciding match of
the series.
U. S. Now FavOrite
The Americans now became
strong favorites to win the series
and with it the right to challenge
France in her defense of the IA
nous trophy. Ellsworth Vines,
American and British national
champion and mainstay of the
American Davis Cup team, was
expected to easily dispose of Won
Cramm in one of tomorroW'S two
final singles matches and thus
clinch the series.
Prem, ace of the German team,
was expected to defeat Frank
Shields, who lost yesterday to
Won Cramm, but the Americans
needed but one more win and
their supporters we're jubilant at
today's doubles victory.
Sun Comes Out
After rain had fallen intermit-
tently during the morning the
sun finally came out Of the
clouds to assure fair weather as
the players took the court soon
after 3 o'clock.
Allison opened the American
attack and the two soon had the
match in their hands. Their play
was unquestionably superior to
that of the Germans, who did
not have a chance from the start.
Won Cramm and Prem began
wildly, with Penn netting fire.

settled down to occasional bril-
lance in the last set. but the
veteran American combination
was too much. The Americans

most impossible situation for a
probable Griff victory.
Big Fred Marberry came to
CroWder'S rescue in the seventh
and proceeded to halt things.
However, he was withdrawn for
Pinch Hitter Sam Rice in the
eighth, and this brought Lefty
Lloyd Brown to the mound for
the ninth. Brownie retired his
opponents in order.
Spencer to Return
Although Catcher Moe Berg is
doing a very good job of substitute
ing behind the bat in Roy Spen-
GERS absence, latest reports from
headquarters today were to the
effect that the veteran would be
available within the next three or
four days if Manager johnson so
needed his services.
Roy, it will! be remembered,
hurt his leg in the st. Louis
series recently, and hurt it so
badly that a rest and treatment
cure was prescribed.
Moe has hit to the splendid
tune of .408 since taking Spen-
GERS place on July 16. The
lanky catcher started slowly at
first, but, lately. has collected
two hits per day, most of which
have figured in the scoring.
Hits Double, Too
All told, Berg has stepped to
the plate q times during the past
nine days and has socked out II
hits for his excellent .408 average.
Featuring Noes batting was a
double which he inserted Wednes-
day against the Detroit Tigers.
This base hit came with the bases
full and won the game for the
Griffs, 4 to /.
Hitting of this caliber. and it
could be said the Griffs really
don't need the return of Spencer
at this particular stage of the
race. But a long trip is ahead Of
Manager johnson and his men,
and the team. as a whole, will
need both Spencer and Berg be-
hind the bat to deliver as they
both can when in the lineup.

A Personal Attack

What were they saying to
him?
Well. it doesn't matter much
what they were saying. 1t is of
no consequence. anyhow. The
i fact remains their attack was
purely personal and based on
nothing which had to do with
the game.
But what is important is that
they knew Bucky didn't dare
answer because of the Ameri-
can League rule prohibiting a
player having truck with a spec
tator. The fact that Bucky
made gestures to his "assail-
ants" inviting them to meet
him after the game may or may
not be interpreted by the um-
pires as having traffic" with
spectators during a game. Ger
tainly no American League or
other baseball law prohibits a
baseball player or manager TAX
ing up matters with an abu-
sive spectator after the game is
over.
But these rowdies wanted no
part Of Bucky after the game.
In fact, they scattered in every
direction when the game was
over, excepting, of course, in the
direction of the Tiger dugout or
dressing room.
The Washington times., 1932-07-23

Fifteen hits were collected by
Manager Johnson's men off the
offerings Pitcher Rube Walberg
sent plateward, but only in the
first and eighth frames were runs
driven across, and these were not
enough to win the ball game in
view of the more timely manner
in which the AS made use Of
their bingles for well-meant runs.
In the second inning Walberg
gave up four hits but found to
his surprise and pleasure that no
runs resulted. In the fourth,
fifth, seventh and ninth single
hits were granted only to result
in zeroes as far as the Griff scor-
ing was concerned.
CrOnin's Triple Helps
However, Manager Johnson's
gang made use of their hits in
the mentioned first and eighth
innings. Manush's single and
Cronin's triple counted one
marker in the first, while success
sive singles by Manush, Cronin,
Harris and West, fielder's

ON NURM|

LOS ANGELES, July 23.-The
United States will not vote even
indirectly to bar Paavo Nurmi,
great Finnish distance runner,
from the Olympic games, it was
made plain today by Avery
Brundage, president of the
American Amateur Athletic
Union. He declares:
"We can not attempt to de-
termine the eligibility of any
other athlete not an American
athlete. That power rests with
Finland as the power to de-
termine the eligibility of
American athletes resides with
in the committees of the
American A. A. u.
I'VE are opposed to the pro-
posed plan that would take
this power from the athletic
organizations of the various
nations of determining the
status of their own athletes
and that would place this
power in the hands of the In
ternatiOnal Amateur Athletic
Federation"
Finland today had indicated
its intention to battle for Nurmi
by including him in the official
entries to run in the 1,000-meter
race and the marathon.

Disgraceful Conduct

So we say, it sometimes
rankles one to sit in the grand
stand with this type of ruffian
who makes public display of
his lack of Sportsmanship, his
bad manners and his loose
tongue.
In the first place, they moved
into higher priced seats than
they purchased in order to get
Harris in an unfair position.
In the second place. they
knew Harris dare not retort.
In the third place their at
tack was of a personal nature
and was not based on anything
which happened in the game
and therefore could not pos
Sibly be interpreted in the ma
ture of tanning" as the term
is applied to the general com.
ment from the stands.
The blaSphemy hurled at
Harris was more noticeable in
view of the small crowd pres
ent. On such days any out
burst from the stand is notice
able. and knowing they were
attracting the after. tion of all
of the very few present, the
hecklers became more per-
sistent, more coarse and more
repulSive.
We think a good thing to do
with folks like that is to eS-
cort them from the park and
give them their $1.10 back, be-
cause they had usurped $1.65
seats in order to make rowdys
of themselves and besides, fans
like that aren't any credit to
themselves or the game.

accepted, needless TO say.
Picture for yourself the disad-
vantage to which these buzzards,
lowering a hundred feet right
over Harris position on the dug
out steps, had the Detroit man.
ager. He couldn't get to them
and they wouldn't dare go down
to the lower stand boxes, where
he might break all rules of gen.
tlemanly conduct and get to
them, however much he may
have been justified in so doing.
