Status Is Uncertain.

TT MIGHT be that Grimes, sepa-
rated from his job Internationally
by the Cardinals of this town
not so long before the current cam
paign got under way, still will be ell
gible to serve the saliva ball should
he return to fast company Under
the law he could not carry it to the
minors. But should the Nationals
take him on old Burleigh merely
would be transferring from one ma ajor
league to another, with a brief vaca-
tion between jobs.
1t seems technicality exists that
would have to be brought to the at
tention of Lands, the old man of the
mountain, for judgment but it
seems reasonable that Grimes would
be allowed to come back as a spitball
SALESMAN. And, coming back as such.
he very likely would be of more serv-
ice to the haraSsed holdover cham
pions than some of the so-caIled
pitching timber they have laying
around.
Grimes will be Al years old next
August, according to base ball rec
ords, but you never would have be-
lieved it to see the elderly gentle
man shooting them through to Moe
Berg, the Washington receiver, yes
terday in pre-game practice. Grimes
put plenty into his pitches, according
to Berg, enough to battle the best
batsmen of the circuit. And Grimes
declares his legs and wind, as we'll as
his right arm, are in good general
condition.
Grimes Is looking for a job. The
Nationals can well afford to improve
a pitching staff that has been spotty
from the start of the campaign
Burleigh was to be out at the park
again today for another display of his
pitching stock. Maybe he'll convince
the washington club officials his pres
ence with the Nationals would be
desirable.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TINE current trend of the
National League race, in
stead of heading toward
- a decision, appears to be
toward keeping the four con-
tenders as closely punched as
possible.
Today's standing found Pittsburgh's
Pirates with clear lead of a half
game after their 7-3 triumph over
the Boston Braves, coupled with New
York's 7-to-l victory over the Cubs.
Chicago had dropped to third a few
percentage points behind the Cards,
who trounced Brooklyn 7-3 while the
fourth-place Giants were only one
game out Of the lead.
A home run by Harry Cookie
Lavagerto, rookie infielder touched off
the Pittsburgh fireworks. 1t came in
the seventh TO give the Bucs a 80
lead in a duel between Bill Swift and
Ed Brandt. Then Pittsburgh went on
TO get four more tallies in the eighth.
Carl Hubbell, trounced by the Cardi-
nails his last time out, held Chicago to
four singles while the Giants belted
Bud Thinning and Jim Weaver to score
in six innings.

BY GRANTLAND RICE,

you were the Dempsey of 10 years
ago?" I asked.
II knew only one way to fight-to
keep crowding and keep punching.
That's what Max will have to do.
He isn't going to win trying to out
box Carnera, and I'm pretty sure he
won't try that game. But to keep
crowding and to keep punching, you
need at least two things-condition
and speed. If Max gets his shot, he
can hit hard enough to do all the
damage needed. But he will have to
put on extra pressure now, and work
himself into marvellous shape. He'll
find that left of Cameras in his
face more than once. He may face
some rough weather at the start.
But he can win if he is right.
There's another point to consider" !"
Dempsey said. I've never seen Max
in better mental state. He is keen
to win this fight and he is working
hard. He believes he can win, but
he isn't overconf1dent.
"On the other hand, Carnera must
be worried. You saw where he missed
broadcast because he had dreamed
the night before that Baer had
knocked him out in the third round.
He brooded more than a little over
that dream Here's heavyweight
champion that has had two fights
after winning the title and yet hasn't
made a nickel out of the game. That
wouldn't make anybody feel too good" !"
"VXIHAT other comparisons have
" you got to make?" I cut in.
TCarnera has this advan-
tage-and I'm giving it all to you just
as / see it. In the last year, the
champion has had three fights to
Baer's one. You can't throw that out
and say it doesn't mean anything. 1t
may mean a lot. Since Baer met
Schmeling. Camera has faced Shar-

class as a boxer?" ! asked.
They were two of the
| best" he answered, but Camera is
| a good boxer-not just good boxer
for big man.
He is fast on his feet, fast with
both hands, and he knows his stuff.
Fortunately for Max and the heavy
weight game, he can't punch. If he
could, there would be no contest. 1t
would be just too bad for any other
opponent for the next 10 years"
so you figure Max has a busy
evening ahead?" I suggested.
Nobody knows that better than
Max" Dempsey said. Max needs a
lot of work-all he can stand-for
the next three weeks. He needs more
work against faster men. He will not
only have to be in the best possible
condition, but he will need all the
speed and accuracy he can find.
IF Max isn't at his best physically,
Carnera may outlook him and wear
him down. II he isn't SharpShooting,
he will have trouble finding an open

"Carnera now has a good left hand.
Not a killing left-but the sort that
can keep you of balance, especially
against stand-up fighter such as

How does Camera compare with
Jess Willard when you met him in
Toledo?" I asked Dempsey.
Hes a better boxer than willard
was-faster in every way-but he

could hit. But he was much easier
to hit than Carnera is. You may

Drop to Fifth Place.

The holdover champions did not
have enough with them to stop the
Browns yesterday and took a second
successive beating in the series and
their fifth in a row this season from
Rogers Hornsbys henchmen. This
time the score was to 5 against the
Nationals and the defeat dropped
them to fifth place and four full games
behind the league leading Yankees.
The Nationals out hit the Browns,
a dozen safeties to seven, but they
couldn't get their hits at opportune
moments. Their starting pitcher,
Weaver. was knocked out of commits
sion before he got a batter out in the
first frame and his successor, Burke,
managed to wild-pitch tally across.
All this before the Nationals got to
Cofman in the fifth for a rally that
produced all their scores and brought
the left-handed Wells to the starting
hurler's relief.
