Oarsmen Among Ailing.

CEASICKNESS was added today to
~ the problems of the Olympians,
who faced new difficulties in keeping
the 382 athletes in condition during the
eight-day trip.
Three oarsmen were among the VIC
tins of NAL de mer, including the
Washington huskies, Don Hume and
Herbert Morris. The third was
Thomas Curran of Philadelphia, bow
ofthe pair cared crew with coxswain,
who was subjected to a considerable
amount of "ribbing" by his land
lubper athletic companions.
Prospects of a moderate blow, with
the ships motion increasing, were ex-
pected to curtail training, but the
majority of athletes still took full
advantage of the lifting of the menu
restrictions.
Because of complaints of the lack
of variety and quantity in the train
ing table diet, officials yesterday
agreed to give their charges the
full run of the ships menu, demand
ing only that they avoid overindul-
gence in sweets and pastries and
keep a close daily check on their
weight.

Nat "ThrOwers" Walk Nine.

In THE eighth frame De Shong
walked another batter and gave up
double to Zeke Bonura that produced
what ultimately proved to be the win
ming run. In the ninth James Brook
1yn pitched a double to Jackie Hayes,
who scored on a wild throw by Red
Kress and a long fly by Luke Sewell
10 make it 81.
Emphasizing, rather than minimizing
the weakness of the Washington hurl-
ers, was the fact that Washington out
hit the Sox, Is to 10. Chicago found
that nine bases on balls awarded by
the local throwers were more helpful
than the extra five hits made by the
Griffs.
About the only source of consola-
ton to the Harrismen was Cecil Travis
batting performance. The Georgia
youth, experiencing his toughest year
at bat, banged out four hits in five
trips to the plate to lend credence to
the belief that it will be a question of
time only before he again takes place
as one of the Mats standout batsmen.
Right now, though, it's little help
from the second-string hurlers that's
needed most.

says Cochrane. Our pitching was
ragged, and there wasn't any catching,
and Greenberg was out of the game,
and these Yankees were running away
with the league. But they're not run
ming so fast right now, and we're COM
ing along with the old Summer drive 3"
THE question before the meeting is,
Will history repeat itself? The
old Tiger-Yankee duel is being fought
again. In past Julys, the Tigers came
bounding from behind, put the pres
sure on Col. Jake Ruppert's boys, and
then sat back chuckling as they
watched the Yankees fold up.
The Yanks have a certain amount
of snti-fold insurance this year that
they didn't have before, despite uncer-
tain pitching. They possess enough
mechanical power to make runs even
when they're slumping. In Di Maggie
Powell and the revived frankie
CroSetti they have a group of earnest
young men who will not tire or grow
bored as the season advances and the
victories come less easily. There was
too much age and boredom on the
New York club last year.

PLAYING FASTEST
BALL IN MAJORS
Dizzy Dean Latest Victim.
|. Yanks' Win Drops Tigers
From Second Place.
BY SID FEEDER,

Associated PreSS sports writer.
TT MAY be only . flash in the Ma
tional Leagues red-hot pan, but
those Phillies are giving the base
i ball world an occasion for some
eyebrow lifting.
Although they're still long way
from the first division, let alone the
top of the heap, they've been the
hottest outfit In the big leagues since
July /, and the only club in their loop
to keep up with the pace set by the
galloping Cubs.
They made it 10 victories against 4
defeats since the first of the month,
two In q row over the Cardinals and
spoiled Dizzy Deans return to action
by teeing of against the great one"
yesterday and burying him under a
6-2 score. "Old Diz" lasted just five
innings against the slugging Phils in
his first start since line drive
knocked him unconscious and out Of
the lineup last Saturday.
Two Games Behind Cubs.
THE defeat for the Gas House gang
left it two full games back Of the
Cubs, who also won their tenth start
out OF IA since July l by turning
back the Boston Bees, 10, in 10
inning affair, on the strength OF Lon
Warneke's four-hit hurting.
Back in Spring training. the wise
boys" said the Phils, If they were dan
gerous at all, would be dangerous be-
cause of their pitching, but their
hurlers have been the weakest link
and their power. as in the past, has
been at bat.
In their drive, they've averaged 10
hts a game and they haven't lost a
series in more than two weeks.
Bill Dickey and Joe di Maggie led
the Yankees to a So win over De-
troit, boosting New York's pace-settlng
margin to 10 full games.
Indians Gain Second Place.
THE beating bounced the Bengais
out of second place and the wild
hitting Indians from Cleveland moved
in with TO walloping over the Ath-
letics-their sixth straight win.
The Red Sox, with Jimmy Foxx
hitting homers Nos. IS and 26 to
take the big-league lead, climbed back
into the first division by splitting
with the st. Louis Browns. The Sox
lost the first, 60, and then won, 5-4
Boston's advance was at the expense
of Washington. which fell again be-

1.-TWO straight defeats hardly may
entitle Clark Grifith's con-
stituents to throw up their
hands and acknowledge defeat,
but it seems that today the Washing
ton ball club faces its big crisis and
that even an outfit so lavishly blessed
with the ability to spring surprises is
no better than a $3.50 bet to pull
out Of 1t.
BY running the risk Of being accused
of undilutel weather friendship,
the Griffith A. C. today could be picked
apart with the greatest of ease.
Speaking generally, the Mats are hit
ting, but oftentimes their hits mean
little. Defensively they're slowing up
noticeably. The pitching situation,
overnight, has reached stage where
it is something to view with alarm.
Searching the sO-called curv-
ing corps you find Jimmy De
Shons apparently suffering from
a fine case of Overwork. None
too strong physically, Jimmy
unquestionably is too finely
drawn.
He hasn't had his stuff with him
