n yEW YORK, September 3.-Three
M more games and the Nationals
will be through on their home
lot until September IS, the
wind-up Of the season.
A Sunday tilt with the Athletics is to
be staged in Griffith Stadium, then the
johnson band will tackle the Red Sox
in a double-header the afternoon of
Labor day. After those two tuSselS the
Nationals will head West for 13 games,
then swing back to Boston and Phila-
delphia before getting home for the
finish of the campaign.
For the Scrapping tomorrow in Wash
ington Manager Walter johnson plans
to send to the firing line the right
handed Alphonse Thomas. Last We'd
nesday Thomas returned to action after
more than two weeks devoted to nurs-
ing a sore arm and turned in a win
over the Browns, although he did not
60 the route.
Al Crowder and Bill McAfee prob
ably will be the Washington pitching
selections for the Labor day bill.
DAVE HARRIS, extra outfelder with
- the Nationals, will be sent to the
Chattanooga Club of the Southern
Association if President Clark Griffith
can get waivers on him.
Bill Andrus, Chattanooga gardener,
has been hurt and the Lookouts, in the
thick of the pennant fight in the Dixie
circuit, are looking to their Washing
ton owners for aid.
If Harris goes to Chattanooga, it
probably will not be for more than a
olt.n III
tionalS as an emergency batter, and
now that his club is hot after third
place in the American League race
Dave is not to be spared any great
length Of time.
TWO coaches are being dropped by
i the Nationals before the end OF
the .eason. Eddie Ainsmith, who
lives near New York, finished his term
after todays game. Pat Charity, who
resides in Beloit, Wis, will be through
after the Nationals finish with the
White Sox in Chicago a week from next
Tuesday.
A THOUGH the Washington club is
"A to recall many players now farmed
under option, very likely only one
will join it during the final Western
tour of the year.
Harley Boss, first sacker with Chat
tanooga, who has been burning up the
Southern Association at bat and afield,
is to report to the Nationals right
after the season in the Dixie loop ends.
BUDDY MYER again has a sore leg
- and may not get back to his sec
ond base post regularly until the
Nationals 60 West.

Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette
University Negro, and Stella
Walsh, Cleveland flash, shat
tered world records at the Canadian
national exhibition track and field
meeting here today, but had such valu-
able assistance from a following wind
that there was no chance either mark
would be accepted.
Metcalfe stepped the 220 yards in
1913 seconds, clipping six-tenths of a
second off the universal standard. Miss
Walsh was locked in 11.8 seconds for
the 100 meters, clipping tenth of a
second of the mark she hung up in the
Olympic games.
The Cleveland girl was the individual
star of the meet, winning the 100 yards
in 107 seconds in addition to her tri-
umph in the 100 meters.
An excellent indication of the
strength of the wind was given in the
100-yard handicap for men, which went
to Bill Engels of Toronto in the amaz-
ing time of 90 seconds. Metcalfe, who
had conceded Engels yards, finished
third. Jack Mclean, another Cana
dian, finished second with the aid of a
10-yard handicap.
Lou Gregory Of Newark defeated Billy
Reynolds and Cliff Bricker, Crack Gait,
Ontario, distance runners, in the To-
mile run in 54 minutes 243s seconds.
Glen Dawson of Oklahoma captured
the mile handicap in 4:2545, with Sam
Porter and John Palmer of Toronto
trailing him in that order.
Alex Wilson of Montreal won the
440 in 4735 and Phil Edwards of Ham
iltcn the 1,000-yard handicap in 2:1525.
