BY Staff Correspondent OF The Star
~ LEvELAND, June 28.-Their
winning streak that had run
to eight games for a league
record this season ended, the
Nationals are as full Of fight as ever.
No matter how good ball club may
be it is bound to lose occasionally is
the way they regard yesterdays defeat
by the Indians and they are confident
they soon will be in full winning stride
once more. The Nationals know of no
reason for ball club that has won Is
of its last II games to fret over little
setback now and then.
Manager Cronin was pretty near to
being fighting mad, though, when
Umpire George. Moriarty called the
fourth ball on Willie Kamm in the
ninth inning yesterday to let the Tribe
tramp to victory. Moriarty's decision
on the third pitch had nettled Cronin
no little for it had been called ball to
make the count three and nothing for
the batter Then came a called strike
and that fourth ball that really looked
good. Cronin was seething as he rushed
from the shortfeld to storm the umpire
and he did not let up on the official
until both had reached the exit from
the playing field. Was Moriarty's face
pink!
Cronin and his charges are in there
battling for everything they can get
when the game is on and when the
finish is hot they don't cool off quickly
Their battling spirit does not unbalance
them, though. They can take it,"
even if it must be with a little argu-
ment on their part, and come back as
game as ever. They have done so be-
fore and to man the Nationals are
confident they will be better established
IN the lead when they get home next
week than they are today.

In the case Of Metcalfe, there has
never been sprinter who combined se
much brilliancy and consistency.
It IS well known that Metcalfe ha.
equalled or bettered all the sprintine
records in the books. That these better
performances were not just chance
flashes in the pan are evidenced by the
fact that he has reeled off some ol
them several times. Here is roll cal
of his records:
40-yard dash (record, a.

60-yard dash (record, ca
81, two times; 6.2, four times.
6o-meter dash trecord, 7.2)-

you.

about it all''-"If Camera has i'm

learned how to punch little harder
If Camera doesn't get bewildered
and befuddled by Sharkey's cunning
and experience
There are few willing to make
any set prediction for a decisive
result. A few believe a knockout
will result, but the records fail
to pave the way for any such
prediction. Sharkey was not
able to knock out Heeney, Risko,
Mickey walker, StTlDllng OT
Schmeling. He was not able to
knock out q much cruder, rawer
Camera two years ago.
Camera was not able to knock out
Maloney, Levinsky, Birkie, Gains,
Pauline and several others hardly up
to Sharkey's standard.
When two heavyweights meet any
thing can happen. But in this case
there is more in the line of boxing
skill and defensive strength than there
is In the way of walloping horsepower.
Shdrkey al,Days has been hard
to hit effectively. He rarely for
gets to duck and he kno1us hon. to

Cameras defensive work also is
much improved and he has left hand
that can break up most attacks-a
much better left hand than Sharkey

THE combined ages of Johnny
| Goodman and Ralph Gull

Goodman and Ralph Gull
i dahl are just nine years
shy the age Of Michael
Scott, who now stands on top Of
Britain's amateur golf.
There are few at SIS who feel
they can face the grind of the
first two days of championship
test. To go through an entire
week, round after round, ham
mering youth into the dust, GET
ting better day by day, must stand
as one of the great sporting ac-
complishments Of the year, what
ever the year may have to offer.
Michael Scott was open golf cham
pion of Australia in 1904-the year
Walter j. Travis won at Sandwich.
He was open champion Of Australia
before Ty Cobb reached the big test
of base ball, when Bobby Jones was
just years old, six years before
Johnny Goodman was born.
Scott has been playing in
British amateur championships
for more than 80 years.. "A fine
stylist and q ut-hearted COM
petitor, he never had been able to
crash the gate before.
There are more than a few golfers at
SIS who think nothing Of playing SO
holes day. To play SO holes of cham
pionship golf, day after day through a
weeks run, Is something entirely Diff
ferent. 1t is a tribute not only to q
sound swing and physical stamina, but
also to conquest of nerves that usually
begin to snap and hutter down the
stretch
The championship victory of Michael
Scott was cheerful news to several hun
dred thousand golfers on beyond so who
had begun to believe that the long, hard
road of championship play belonged to
youth.
NoaD the ftty-fpers hare
champion in their midst tDho had
just trife more skill than youth
could match
Charles Hutchinos, around 80
years ago, 1Dds the only other
golfer beyond so to Uin ma
tional title. Hutchings Dds So the
year he came popping through.
Many words were written about
Francis Ouimet's victory at the age of
39. Scott topped this advanced age by
just is years. 1888 will have to offer
a rare episode tc top SCOTS triumph
at Hoylake.

SUSPENSION LIKELY
FOR RELIEF HURLER.
Striking Negro HeckIer After
Cleveland Game Also
May Bring Fine.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

)LEVELAND, June 28.-Wash-
ington's leading American
" League ball club may lose
the services of one of its
relief pitchers for a long while.
Bill McAfee, the hurler, and the
Cleveland Ball Club may be in
volved in a lawsuit as a result of
an alteration that occurred under
the grandstand at Cleveland Sta
dium after yesterdays game in
which the Nationals had their
season record winning streak
broken by the Indians.
McAfee struck with his fist Negro
who allegedly had been abusive in his
language addressed to the pitcher and
Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland
club, in wire to william Harridge,
president of the American League, de-
maneed that the Washington player be
severely punished by the circuit eXecu-
tive for the assault upon the clubs
patron.
Harridge, starting his investigation
late last night, telephoned Secretary
Edward B. Eynon, jr.. of the Washing
ton club for full particulars of the case
and also statement from McAfee, and
announced it would be sifted thoroughly.
While there is no set punishment for
such offenses, 1t is believed that McAfee,
If adjudged the main offender in the
case will draw a suspension Of at least
30 days duration and also be fined
heavily. 1t was understood today that
the Negro who was struck plans to enter
suit for damages against both the Cleve-
land club and McAfee.
Notorious as Heckler.
The Negro, known as Baltimore" has
been q regular attendant at Cleveland
ball games here for years and is noted
for his alleged heckling of visiting club
players and umpires. According to Nc
Afee. he was singled out as target for
the Negro's remarks when the Nationals
entered Cleveland Stadium Sunday and
that. Baltimore" had addressed him
sbusively, the heckierS language becom-
ing more offensive daily.
As McAfee left the field yesterday to
pass through the runway under the
stand to the Washington clubs dressing
room, the Negro leaned over the run
way railing and again taunted him.
McAfee continued through the runway
to the dressing room door. turned and
went back to face the Negro. The
pitcher says he SWING and landed on the
Negro's jaw. Then a policeman grabbed
Baltimore" and took him out Of the
park
According to McAfee, none but park
attaches were about when he struck his
tormentor.
