- T. LOUIS, May 9-There's punch
in the Washington batting order
from top to bottom these days,
now that Luke Sewell is swing
ing into a great clubbing stride. The
transfer from the Indians looks to be
the best hitting catcher the Nationals
have had in years the way he has been
slamming safeties this trip. Since
leaving home last week, Sewel has
swatted at the fine rate of 400. He
raised his tour average to those figures
yesterday when he enjoyed the best
batting day Of his major league career.
In the l2-round encounter between
Nationals and Browns that opened the
four-game series here, Luke stepped to
the plate six times for home run, two
doubles and two singles. He got one of
the singles and one of the doubles the
first two times up when he faced Lloyd
Browns left-hand pitching The homer
was his third consecutive hit. 1t was
made of Sam Gray. In his fourth trip
to the plate, Luke doubled off Bump
Hadley and he hit the same pitcher
lOi d tllc SlAlIl tllile up.
Between his last two Safeties, Sewell
put up high one to Left Fielder
Garms
Luke's batting figured in the making
of three Washington scores. which
shows how handy it is to have hitting
catcher in the lower end Of the batting
order.
1t was the third win in four over
time games this year for the Nationals
They are rough customers any time they
go beyond the ninth round. The vic
tory lifted them to a second-place tie
with the Indians and left them but
one game back Of the pace-setting
Yankees.
Boken's Collinsville pals gave him a
great time They brought a girls
drum and bugle corps from the nearby
Illinois town to serenade their fellow
citizen and put on parade around
the ball park. Then. with the players
of both clubs gathered around the plate
before the game, they presented Bob
with Snappy looking wrist watch. And
everything was complete surprise to
Boken.
st. Louis did not 60 without its home
run. Besides those cracked by Boken
and Sewell, there was one by Bruce
Campbell. The Browns right fielder
dropped the ball into the right-field
stand when he caught hold of one of
Crowder's heaves in the fifth frame.
Among the $500 attending the game
was Joe Brown, the base ball-loving
movie comedian. Joe got around to the
Nationals club house after the game
to congratulate the athletes, and last
night they attended as his guests a
showing of Elmer the Great" dia-
mond sport comedy in which he is
starred. Brown stopped over in st.
Louis for the day only while en- route
to Kansas City to take a look at the
American Association club he owns
there.
For the first time since coming West.
the Nationals yesterday ran into real
base ball weather. It was really hot
and st. Louisans declared it was their
first good day this Spring.

STEPPING ON EAST
IN FIRST INVASION
Takes 16 of "a Games, With
Leading BUGS and Cards

BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

TINE evidence is just about
conclusive now that once
i more the Western clubs

the National League.
In the first "a games Of the
campaigns initial East-West
series, the invaders from beyond
the Alleghanies have gained a
2-1 edge-16 victories. against
8 defeats-and this in the East's
own strongholds.
The West checked in with two more
triumphs yesterday, as the league lead
ing Pittsburgh Pirates blanked the
Boston Braves behind Larry French's
great pitching and the st. Louis Cardi-
mails took the home run route in over
coming stubborn resistance from the
New York Giants. The Pirates and
Cards together have accounted for 9
victories in IL starts in the East.
FRENCH held the Braves to three
l. singles. while the Pirates. giving
new evidence that they have over
come the southpaw jinX that handi-
capped them last year, walloped Tom
Zachary for nine hits, five of them
doubles, to win 80. It was the sixth
time the Bucs had beaten left-hander
this year and only one. Bill Hallahan
of the Cards, has gained decision
over them. Doubles by Floyd Vaughan
and Tony Piet in the fifth, and by Paul
Waner and Vaughan in the eighth

around the New York tracks

the 1882 champion to redeem himself

The distance of the Preakness. one

caused considerable speculation around
the Pimlico track as to the jockey who
will be up on the colt in the Preakness
Saturday.
Meade and Herb Fischer, rider OF

Downs yesterday, each for 80 days for
being guilty of grasping the equipment

Fischer an additional five days for strik-

apply to stake race engagements in
Kentucky, bars the jockey from ali
Maryland tracks during the period,

Jimmy Smith, veteran Bradley rider,

most probable to take Meade's place.

learned that the National Aviation Cor
poration OF New York, which owns more
than 90 per cent Of the stock in the
airport, has at various times during
the last two years received q number Of
proposals for sale Of the land for other
than airport purposes.
Proposals have been submitted by
groups the identity Of which was not
disclosed, for erection of a stadium, q
dance hall and various other conces-
sions which it was said you'd inevitably
have resulted in short time In the dis
continuance of the property as an air
port.
Airport oficials have estimated that
the Government could take over the
properties Of Washington Airport, Inc,
and Atlantic Seaboard Airways. joint
operators of Washington-Ho Hoover Air
port, and operate them as a combined
airport at an initial loss of not exceed
ing s25,000 a year and that this loss
could be entirely made up within a
short time by proper development Of
the airport. impossible at present be-
cause Of the unsettled claim Of the
Government to part Of the land and be-
