n YEW YORK, May 25.-With q
M few notable exceptions the
l Y batting averages Of the major
league leaders continued their
downward movement during the past
week and the select group, whose
marks went up instead Of down, oc-
cupied prominent positions in the
two races today.
The most notable batting feat for
the week which ended with yester-
days games was that of Bob John
son of the Philadelphia Athletics, who
smashed his way into the American
League lead with a 30-point gain,
which brought his average up to .42l.
The senior circuit leader, Floyd
(Arky) Vaughn of Pittsburgh, man
aged to improve his mark to lesser
extent, bringing it up from 1888 to
.4O2 with 10 hits in "a times up.

for Jimmy Dykes he was given the
air by Umpire Donnelly. Appling
speared Kuhel's liner in the sew
enth and whipped the ball to
Wright as Newsom was scrambling
back to second base. Donnelly
ruled Buck safe, but the White
Sox claimed a double play and
made q whale Of squawk. Man.
ager Dykes crashed the argument
for q minute or two then growled
and grumbled his way to his post at
third. But the sharp ears Of Um-
pire Donnelly had caught Jimmy's
out-of-turn talk during the walk.
That made it q day for the
manager.
Well, Donnelly still was smart
ing from the bruising he got when
struck on the leg by Sewell's drive.
That alone was sufficient to ruin
the umpire's disposition for the
remainder Of the game.

Double Play Checks SOx.

DUCK got through his first inning
h nicely, but his control suddenly
departed in the second and ne
walked the first three White Sox up
at the plate. Then Wright took
shot at a pitch only to bounce to the
pitcher, and a double play ensued IN
which Bonura was potted at the plate
and Wright at first base. SeWell
rolled to Myer and Newsom was Oh
the spot for the time being.
A pass and a single were yielded
bv him in the third round, but the
second out was sandwiched between
them and Bonura's best was a hoist
to Powell. Trouble came again for
Newsom in the fourth, and this time
a break of luck coupled with his pluck
got him by.
One was out of the way when Ap-
pling strolled and Wright hit. UP
came Sewell to sock Savagely. The
drive looked like a two-bagger at least
for Luke until Umpire Donnolly got
in it's way. 1t almost tore leg OH
the ump, who was standing near sec
ond base. Appling would have scored
easily and Wright might have had the
ball not been checked by the official.
Instead, the hit did nothing more
than fill the bases for under the dead
ball" rule Appling had to pull up at
third.

Winning Qualities.
@HE factors or the fundamentals

"HE factors or the fundamentals
named by Gene Tunney are
rarely combined in any one sys-
tenn. That is the reason we see so
few good heavyweights.
Along this line we began discussing
the present heavyweight crop.
Camera" Tunney said, lis a first
class boxer and quite game. But he
has no ringcraft, he isn't a quick
thinker and he can't punch.
Max Baer can land punch and
take a punch. And he has his full
share of ringcraft or cunning. He is
short on the side of condition, he ad-
mits he can't box and he is no speed
marvel. But he has three of the
most important qualities champion
needs.
"BraddOck is a game fellow
who can punch. But he looks
to be physically outclassed. He
Is no master of ringcraft. His

Big Win for Buck.

~ YERVE, pluck, gameness, anything
~ one might care to term what
it takes to make man battle
against seemingly unbeatable odds
Newsom has and in generous guam
titv. And he backs it with a wealth
of innate pitching ability, too. He
was fast as he brushed aside the
White Sox, and he had more, much
more than he had started with as the
game ended.
1t was a big game to pitcher who
had not scored a victory while with
the Browns. Before he was through
with getting his first win of the sea-
son Newsom made it just that, too.
His was the first shutout of the
wear scored over the White Sox, who
previously had defeated NeWsom
twice. 1t also was the first Shutout
of the year pitched by member OF
the Washington curving corps. And
it was the first time in three starts
this season that the Nationals beat
the White Sox.
But five hits were made off New
SONS delivery. However, he Issued
as many passes. Buck walked none
after the fourth inning, though,
true indication of his gameness.
Many a pitcher, off to such poor
start, would have collapsed quickly.
His early wildness he attributed to
not having pitched in week. New
som, it seems, is of the type who must
be worked often to be kept at peak.

Guyon Strong on Strategy.

UYON'S teams usually have been
hard-hitting outfits, but the
good coach has taken a little
time to teach his charges the fact
that there is a way to run bases, and
therein lies the secret of many OF his
victories. The Eastern, rs do not at
tempt to steal bases just for the sake
of a short sprint. There is scoring
play behind every theft, and nat
urally, while all of them do not turn
out according to base balls Hoyle,
most of the plays prove to be smart
scholastic strategy.
Roosevelt's sloppy base running cut
short two scoring opportunities yes
terday as the Rough Riders bowed to
Eastern, 20, in one of the best series
games in recent years. In the third
inning Coach Donald Browns boys
threatened to dent the plate when
Bovello reached first on Kidwells error,
followed by Baroni's single over short.
George Coakley advanced the runners
to third and second with an infield
out and brother Francis then dumped
one of Sullivan's tosses in front Of the
plate. Mike Mikalaski, Eastern catch
er, scooped the ball up and faxed a
throw to first, drawing Bovello yards
off third for an easy putout victim.
4 GAIN in the sixth session Roose-
~ welt muffed a chance to tally
when Francis Coakley overran
second after a steal. Jack Neely's
single to right center later in the in
ming helped nothing but his batting
average.
Despite these incidents, the game
was up to expectations, Baroni and
Sullivan twirling major league ball in
high school atmosphere. Barrel"
gave up only four bingles while fan
ming 10, while Sullivan granted seven
hits, striking out IL. Baroni, visiblly
nervous before the fray, settled down
after the first two innings to hold the
Lincoln Parkers to brace Of hits for
the remainder of the game.
Eastern scored in the initial frame
when Joe Crisaful tripled to bring
home Gordon Bartoo, who had walked.
Sullivan clouted home run to deep
center field in the second session to
end the scoring for the day.
Crisaful led the winners attack with
two safeties, while Bovello, Baroni and
Neely connected for a brace of hits
apiece for Roosevelt. Summary:

2O,422 PAY TO SEE
|. FIRST IN MAJORS
How Many Will Come Back
Now Is Question-Tribe
Climbs Again.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

THE first night base ball game
in major league history was
written down today as q great
success.
But there still remained the busi-
ness of checking up on how many
of the 2O,422 cash customers who
turned out at Cincinnati last night
to see the $4,000 foodlighting sys-
TEN turned on by President Roosevelt
in Washington, great preliminary dis
play of fireworks, a considerable
gathering of notables and, incident
ally, a 2-to-1 victory for the Reds
over the Phillies would pay to come
back some other night.
The whole question Of base ball
after dark in the big leagues seems
to hinge upon that matter. The at
tendance at that experimental"
game appeared to justify the cash
outlay and to put to rest any fears
that players might be injured be-
cause of the strange playing con-
ditions The chilly weather, which
caused a days poStponement of the
clash, undoubtedly held down last
nights attendance and no one ap-
parently suffered except the batters,
who could collect only 10 hits all told.

Red Legs Hit Timely.

TINE Reds got only four blows of
Joe Bowman and Jim Bivin, who
pitched the eighth inning, but
they made them count more than
Philadelphia's six of Paul Derringer.
Billy Myers double and two infield
outs in the first inning produced
run and another in the fourth when
Billy Sullivan and Harlan Pool con-
nected for singles and the former
scored while Bill Campbell was being
tossed out. Singles by AL Todd and
Mickey Haslin and a forceout pro-
duced the lone Philly run in the fifth.
The nearest thing to the dreaded
injury came when Sammy Byrd
slammed into the center field wall in
taking Dolph Camillis drive in the
sixth, but he got right back into
action.
The night-game mound perform
ances coming from teams that haven't
seen any great amount of good hurl-
ing this season overshadowed some
of the feats performed in ordinary
daylight. Among these were Hal
Schumachers four-hit shutout Of
the Cubs and the Giants terrific
clouting behind it that produced a
13-to-O victory and Buck Newsom's
feat of blanking the league-leading
White Sox with five blows to win his
first start for the Senators, 10 to 0.

SWIM CHANCES OF
AMERICANS N'36
OLYMPICS BRIGHT
Miami Youngsters Are AS
cending Stars - Miss
Right 1885 Queen
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

New York, July 2-(UP)-Con-
sidered today in the light of devel-
opments ofsthe National A. A. U.
championships, Americas pros
poets for retaining women's swim
ming supremacy in the 1896 Olym-
pics seem bright.
Augmenting the veterans-Qlym-
pic Champion Dorothy Poynton
Hill and Leonore Right, the Home
stead, Pa, rree-style star-are sew
eral rising aces.
Chief among the ascending stars
are those attractive children from
Miami, Mary Hoerger, 11-year-old
SpNngboard champion; her older
sister, Ruth May, runner up in
the high platform event, Katy
Rawls, another young produce of
Miami's sunny strand, and Betty
Lou Petty. the free-style stylist
from Seattle.
Miss Petty, by the way, in the
opinion of several observers, may
wrest American free-style suprem-
acy from the popular Miss Right
within another year. Even I'M
trained eyes can see that Mary Lou
is the more natural swimmer. Her
stroking is seemingly without eff
fort and unlike that of Leonore, in
cludes almost no waste motion.
Even so, pretty Miss Right is
Americas mermaid queen for 1895.
She won the individual title of the
championships which ended yester-
day by winning three firsts-440,
$50 yards and mile-all in record
time, and her fourth place in the
100 meters gave her 16 points, one
more than the Is aggregate made
by Katy Rawls.
Mrs. Hill Comes Back
Mrs. Hill, who surprised almost
everyone by losing the springboard
diving championship, came through
yesterday with grand exhibition
to win the high platform event for
a second straight time.
Mary Hoerger, who had been ex-
pected to make a good showing in
that event, was withdrawn at the
last moment and Ruth May carried
on for the family, taking second
place. Ruth Nurmi of Los Angeles
was tlllIu anu tSlIId OuuLl, dlSO VI
Los Angeles. fourth.
Miss Rights record time in the
$50 was 1884. Miss Petty, taking
second place in 11:39.1, also bet
tered the former American mark,
11:41.2, held by Helene Madison.
On the way to her record win in
the $50, Miss Right beat Miss
Madison's mark of 1928 for 500
meters, completing the distance in
7:10.6.
The New York Women's Swim
ming association team, Judith
Fowler at breaststroke, Erna
Kompa at backstroke, and Dorothy
Dickinson at free-style, made an
American 300-meter medley relay
mark at 4:09.3.
Team title went to the Miami

ayers Joe Shorty" Kelley of the
smoke-eaters and Ray Fitzpatrick
of the Reporters have given opti-

Naugatuck to see.

were 20 on the Reporters. There
