SIabbing Again Sour.

THE Nationals bad q great chance
to pass the Red Sox and move
into fifth place yesterday, but it was
the same old story. The batters func-
toned in brilliant fashion, but the
Slabbing was sour. Earl Whitehill
kept blowing leads in the opener I'M
til replaced in the fourth inning by
Belve Bean, whose first pitch was hit
for home run by Julius Solters with
two on base, tying the score at 8-e.
Bean was good after that, both on
the mound and at bat. He regained
the lead in the sixth with q home run
himself and from then on the Griffs
pounded four Brown throwers to win
by II to 8.
The nightcap was q queer tilt. Ed
Linke was inSulted in the first place
when he was handed only q two-run
lead. The thrust must have affected
him because he gave up nine hits and
as many runs in the first two innings.
Left in the box, though, because
Harris had no one else, Ed was great
thereafter, giving up only three scat
tered hits. Meanwhile the Nationals
handed the game back to Ed in the
sixth by tying the score, but one Of
the trio of bingles Linke allowed was
homer by Ed Coleman in the
Browns half Of the sixth, deciding the
game.

Concede Giants Nothing.
IT EFT 'em count" went on the tru'

IT EFT 'em count" went on the trucu-
IL lent Frisch. 1.-THE Giants are a
sweet ball club, but we don't concede
them an inch. We won in the stretch
last time, and we can do it again, If
we have to. I'm not sure we're going
to have to.
'Dissension? Yes. But good old
healthy discussion that helped us win
last year and can help us again. We
differ because we're on our toes all
the time, trying to win. II that's dis
sension, I'll take some more OF IL.
Maybe some of the other managers
could use some, too"
About that time Joe (Ducky Wucky)
Medwick, one Of the central figures
in the latest Cardinal uprising, kissed
one into the far reaches.
THAT Medwick is going along
great" said Frisch, as all the Car
dinals within ear-shot nodded assent.
Hes one of the best team guys we've
got. m
HE and Dizzy Dean had q little
run-in, but what happened? Dizzy
popped on and then apologized. When
Medwick was hurt sliding into first
at Boston who was the first guy out
there to help him? Dizzy Dean.
"The first time Dizzy started after
that fiare-up with Medwick he held
the Cubs to six hits. What's more,
the other boys scored In every in
ming for him. On his next time
out he beat the Braves in 13-inning
game.
eff that's dissension I'm for it.
Maybe we can have a little more OF
it when the race gets really hot"

BLUEGE FORESEES
TOP RANK FOR LAD
Young Nat Praised by Vet,
Whose Job He Won-Break
Even With Browns.
BY FRANCIS z. STAN,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

ut. LOUIS, June 17.-As Con-
fucius once remarked at meet
ing Of the Beer and Oyster
- Club, every cloud has q silver
lining. And even Bucky Harris, who
has been watching some Of the great
est batting displays In Washington
base ball annals nullifled by sand lot
pitching, must admit the old gent was
right. Bucky's silver lining may sur
prise you. It's Cecil Travis.
The kid third baseman, by the same
token, happens to be the only member
of the Nationals who is not murder
ing the ball. In fact, he hasn't hit
his stride at all this season, especially
since Manager Harris promoted him to
the cleanup position. What, then, Is
he good for?
The answer is his fielding.
1t Is sort of surprising, isn't it?
After all, the only reason Travis ousted
Ossie Bluege from third base was be-
cause he, Travis, could sock. But Of
late it has not been his hitting, but q
smooth, defensive performance that
has made Travis stand out like a wart
on the schnozzle amidst joke pitching
and cheap hits.

Well OF in 1929.

MY FAVORITE picture of him out
AA side of prize ring came in the
lush days of 1929, when every one
had money and Madison Square Gar
den's 900 millionaireS, headed by Bill
Carey, were trying to spend as much
as possible of it by promoting mon
ster field day for the sporting people
in conjunction with Jack Sharkey' S
heavyweight tussle with Bill Stribhng
in Miami.
Braddock, lean and quiet. weighing
only ITO pounds, was down there with
his manager, little but loud Joe Gould.
They had lots of money then, Brad
dock some $50, 1000 in stocks and inter
ests in taxi companies in New Jersey.
Braddock was about to fight Tommy
Loughran for the light-heavyweight
championship Of the world. He was
one of pugilism's big shots.
Gould and I had a date to play golf
one morning. Braddock came along
to watch. There was only one caddy
available. Jimmy never hesitated.

THE Yankees and White Sox suf-
fered q greater reverse when their
twin bill was rained out in the fourth
inning Of the opener after a crowd of
$4,000 had watched the Yanks build
up an 80 lead.
The Senators and Browns hit the
high spots in the days smuggling when
Washington won the opener II to 8
with q 21-hit raid led by Johnny
Stone and the Browns came back to
win the nightcap 10 to 8. Between
them they made 81 assorted hits.
The shorter National League pro-
gram was Just another upward step
in the Giants climb. The league
leaders hoped on Phil Collins for
5 runs In the first inning when Mel
OFT clouted his twelfth homer Of the
season with two aboard and Hank
Leiber followed with the first of two
circuit swats.
Then they sat back and watched
Carl Hubbell pitch them to 7-to-3
victory over st. Louis that gave them
a six-game lead over the Cards and
five and one-half games over the
Pirates.
Pittsburgh failed to make its hits
count against Lefty John Pezzullo and
took q 12-to-3 drubbing from the
Phillies. Boston and Cincinnati
recorded practically no progress when
the Reds won the first game Of a
.zo,,hJa -JnnaAar y Tn and the Braves
countered with 7-to-4 triumph.

Just an Honest PIodder.

You can almost tell all these things
= Just from looking at him in a
prize ring. He has fought with
broken hands, broken ribs, even a
broken collar bone once, with deeply
cut eyes, actually weak from the lack
of nouriShing food.
Yet he never has failed to fight to
the limit Of his strength and ability,
which hasn't been much at times,
plodding slowly along, pumping with
his left hand, betting with a real
good right, taking any amount OF
punishment without f1inching.
He's the faithful copy Of what poll
ticians like to regard as the finest
type of American citizen" unassum-
ing, accomplishing. His favorite
drink is lager beer. He prefers steak
to corn beef and cabbage, but he's
eaten hash, and liked it, most Of
his life.

A LBANY, N. Y, June 17.-Edwin
C. C'Alabama") Pitts returned to
Albany today hopeful for a final rul-
ing this week on his professional base
ball status.
Pitts, banned from organized base
ball because he is an ex-convict, had
a busy week end. He told the world
of his troubles in a radio address, saw
his first "big league" ball game and
visited Warden Lewis E. Lawes at Sing
Sing Prison.
Johnny Evers, general manager Of
the Albany club, accompanied Pitts on
his trip. At Sing Sing, yesterday, they
were given an ovation by prisoners and
spectators while attending base ball
game.
Another voice was raised in Pitts
behalf when Billy Sunday, evangelist
and old-time base ball player, said he
would write Commissioner lands and
ask him to remove the ban on the
paroled prisoner.

"a VIEW YORK, June 17.-Case No.
nj 27s6 did not appear on the
relief rolls Of North Bergen,
N. j., until the last desperate
expedient had been resorted to by the
family of one James j. Braddock, un-
employed laborer.
Ten months before Braddock be-
came heavyweight champion of the
world, his wife was forced to return
to her parents, and their three chill
dren, Jay, Howard and Rose Marie,
were taken in by their grandparents.
Braddock was left alone to tighten
belt that was already on its last
notch. He was left alone with empty
pockets, an empty ice box and a dis
possess notice from a landlord who
had carried him for five months and
now found himself with worries
enough of his own.
The relief records and Investigator
reports are not public property in New
Jersey, but it was learned from other
sources that even then Braddock did
not ask help from the Government.
He had relied on himself for so long
and he was buoyed up by the thought
that around the next corner lay job
and stability.

On Relief Last September.

PUT the Relief Bureau heard of the
l. case through a neighbor and dis
patched an investigator. The investi-
gator noted the fact of the dispoSSesS.
Under condition of home" he wrote
the traditional words, clean and
neat" under health Of occupants"
good" under insurance policies, -
the terse' tragic '1apsed." Then
there came the all-important re
marks" and here the investigator put
down simply, eligible for relief"
So on September 10. 1884, the fu-
ture champion received his first relief
check. Part of it was rent and milk
voucher, part of it for other expenses.
What it meant to Braddock was that
he could now bring his wife and chill
dren back under the same roof with
him.
Braddock names June IA, 1884, the
night he knocked out Corn Griffin, as
the turning point in his fistic career
But his struggle against poverty didn't
end until long after that.

no doubt that he is staging one Of
the greatest come-backs in base ball

toting the heavy bag. He grinned but

nineteenth, reluctantly settled for his
losses.

I.asky Fight Ended Relief.

A FTER his fight with Lewis, Brad
dock continued looking for job.
He spent his mornings making the
rounds, and two or three times week
he would appear at the relief bureau
and asked to be transferred to some
works project. He is reported to have
protested against receiving money in
stead of work so often that the relief
director, in self defense, had to close
the door against him.
The fight with Lasky marked the
real financial turning point. Here at
last was the end of the depression for
the Braddock family. The victory
netted Jimmy 81 800 and 10 days after
the fight, Case No. 2796 was stricken
permanently from the relief rolls.
The total amount paid to the Brad
dock family from relief funds is some
thing under $3.50. The first thing the
new contender for the heavyweight
title did with his purse for the Lasky
fight was make out a check for $500
to the North Bergen Relief Fund.
