Fullis, however, has made his end

A RUN through the second half
~ of their campaign that was to
~ get under way today such as
the one they made over their
last 77-game stretch last year would
land the Nationals in front at the finish
of this American League race. Unless,
of course, some club now back Of them
should show a mighty burst of speed
the remainder of the way.
Playing the final half of the CAM
paign this year as they did last, the
Nationals would finish with lo3 vic
tories, against 81 defeats. They won
which record is better by three games
than theirs for the first n this season.
At the halfway point last year, the
Nationals were in fifth place, a dozen
games behind the leading Yankees and
trailing the Athletics, Tigers and In
dians. They finished third. IA games
behind the winning YankS but only
back of the runner-up Athletics.
Today, they are in first place, 2 games
up on their nearest rival outfit, with II
games to go. Another 80 squirt in the
II games by the Nationals and the
pennant should be theirs.
Mats Lack Punch, Pitching.
TOR the seventh time this season
the Nationals have suffered a
second successive beating, that of
9 to 8 handed them yesterday by the
White Sox in the opener Of four-game
series in Griffith Stadium. Only twice
this year, however, has the opposition
been able to go beyond the second beat
ing. In the first part Of the campaign
the Nationals dropped four straight,
losing two to the Red Sox here and two
more to the AS in Philadelphia Early
in June, they lost three straight-two
to the AS and one to the Red Sox.
In the start of their set with the Chi
sox. the Nationals had neither punch
nor pitching and had no license to win.

quell the visitors before they had the

just eight hits. They clustered two in

the fifth for two runs. After that,

The Davis Cup.
THE victory of Jack Crawford
i over Ellsworth Vines puts
a new tint upon the final
ownership Of the Davis Cup.
Vines had picked England to
beat Australia. Then the Aus
tralian doubles team defeated
Vines and Gledhill, and Crawford
beat Vines.
As the case now stands, England and
Australia are the first to meet in a
contest that must decide the makeup
of the challenge round.
The winner here meets the United
States-and the survivor moves on
against France in the cup final.
Either England or Australia is
called upon to beat three fine
teams in SuccesSion-d terrific
assignment
The United States to nfn must
beat one challenger-o11d then
France.
This means the most interesting
Davis Cup stretch in the history Of
tennis.
AS rule there are only two out
standing survivors. Now there are four,
and this means q terrific campaign to
reach the closing curtain later on in
July.
The Australians now are ia
vored to beat England, in spite
Of Vines selection, and they will
be just about even against the
United States.
They are all young stars, improving
steadily through experience. They are
a big jump over last year. And Jack
Crawford is no small part of the big
hurdle, England, the United States and
France may have to face.

fin were current; gossip that the erudite
professor and the young master were
not overfriendly went the rounds, and
the longer Monty stayed away from the
hillock the more pronounced became
the tales.
But all OF it was bosh, pure and sim
pie - exceedingly simple. Monty has
been suffering from gas attacks, an all
ment, singularly, which hits lot OF
ballplayers.
Jack Ogden, former St. Louis Browns
pitcher used to suffer from acute gas
pains on the mound and topple over.
Gen Crowder of the Mats too was re-
tarded in his early hurting days here
because of pains in his stomach, and Al
Schacht, the Senators third base coach,
was in bad physical condition as re-
suit Of the attacks. Hildebrand OF the
Indians has been sufferer.
There seems to be no particular rea-
son why ball toSSerS are subject to the
ailment, other than possibly. that the
boys eat here, there and everywhere
during playing season.
TINE base ball sharps are saying that
Joe Cronin now is to face his
real big managerial test. His
winning combination has been shat
tered And that means revamplng here
and there in the lineup in an effort to
mold another scoring combine.
Two losses after long winning streak
ought not cause the remodeling Of the
lineup, but Kid Cronin cannot afford
his team keyed in the Cronin spirit.
Not where the club now stands.
Yesterdays jostling around Of
fnH hat
thought may be in his mind. And
Cronin does not daily long with
thoughts before he puts them to
work. And he is getting more i'm
patient in this respect by the
hour.
Here is where his managerial ability
will come up for its big showdown. II
he can stick in reserve here and
there to give a vet rest and win ball
games. he will be hailed as a Strateg1st.
If his replacements fail him, he will
hear a note or two from the canaries
in the stands.
Yet Joe is the type of manager
to fool the flock by stinging his
old combination back at the
enemy today And keep it there
until it buckles completely from
,oear and tear or propes its
stamina.
On the inside the boys are saying
that Joe and Griff are keen for the
batting order that came out of the West
in such glorious fashion, and that only
serious slumps by the players will
cause them to be removed from the list
Yesterdays moving around Of play
ers may have meant little. When
Crowder went up like flrecracker and
Russell Jared no better, Joe knew the
goose was cooked and gave the bench
warmers some exercise.

the New York Yankees.
It isn't hard to figure out. A year
ago they won the American League base
ball pennant walking in on their hands.
1t was merely a romp. The second
place team couldn't reach them with q
l4-inch naval gun.
Shortly after this the Yankees fell on
the Cubs and flattened them in four
straight games. Here, again, there was
no contest.
With Brennan and Van Alta added to
an already good-looking pitching staff,
this season looked to be an even softer
journey to the flag. They were picked
all over the map to stroll in with any
lead they wanted.
The season opens and they win their
first seven games. They begin to skid
and wobble, and still retain their seven
game lead. The penant race Is over.
There is nothing else to it but TO play
out the schedule.
At which point the inevitable hap
pened. Their skiddng continued as
young Cronin's Washington Senators
suddenly struck hot streak and began
to cut them down.
Before the Yankees knew what hap
pened their seven-game lead had been
turned into q four-game deflcit-an

weeks.

T1NCLE CLARK knows how far his
tsam can go without a pitching
staff in top working order
And he must know that his starting
four are being overworked
Weaver's return will mean a lot. It
will save another right handlers arm.
Monty's appearance at the start of
yesterdays game would have given
Crowder another days rest. And a
chance to do some better pitching.
For the rest of the road, the
second halt of the season, Uncle
may be forced to put to Uork
fifth starting hurler if Weaver
does not come through as er-
pected.
And that's the most important sub
ject on Uncle's mind just now.
He is sending scouts out to round up
a pitcher in the minors. Yet he is al
most certain that the expeditions will
be fruitless. Rather, what ivory they
bring in at this time will not do him
much good in the quest for this years
flag.
There's nothing in the International
League in the way of mound workers
worth shooting after. Griff admits that.
