Worthy Foes for Champs.

A THOUGH johnson and Ritzen-
berg were forced to play twice as
many matches as Charming and March,
who had gained yesterdays semi-fnal
post by playing on Friday, the manner
in which they won them left little
doubt that they will be worthy oppo-
nents Of the champs this afternoon.
Just before noon, David and Allie
romped through two easy sets with
Dewitt Smith and Bob Chichester.

harder task still ahead. But the pres
sure they applied also to the bigger
brother team of John and Mac Hatch,

see them almost on even terms with
today's opponents.

While pre-tournament predictions rec.
ognized Sokol's worth by seeding him
No. 2, Kirk will enter todays match

his elimination of the seeded No. |
player, Billy Zeller, on Friday.
March will play the winner of the
MISUNDERSTANDING match for the
singles title on Tuesday, when the
finals Of the boys doubles tournament,
starting tomorrow, also will be held.
Prizes to all winners and semi -finaIists

Nearly Score Upset.

CHANNING entered the semi final
bracket when he repulsed the
threat that lay in the bat Of little
David johnson, 81, 60.
But although the March h-Adair and
Claiming johnson set-tos were real
thrillers, despite the lopsided scores
Of the latter, the big kick of the Gay
came late in the afternoon when the
junior doubles team of Billy Turner
and Adair came within one game of
taking their semi-final match from
the defending champions and seeded
No. team Of Charming and March.
Throwing a mild scare into the
champs when they took the first set,
6-3, they continued to annoy them
with barrage of smashes and drives
that belied their younger ages, car
rying Charming and March to 6-3
before surrendering the match-tying
set.
1t was in the final set, however,
that the underdogs staged their real
bid for fame. holding leads of 80,
4-3 and then, within reach of the
budding upset. at 5-4. But March
deuced the set and match with his
binding service in the tenth game
and he and his teammate cracked
Turner's serve in the eleventh. The
young hopefuls would not give up.
though, and, with elimination staring
them in the face, sent the next games
score to deuce after Charming had
run his service to 40-15.
A weak return of one of Charley's
serves brought the match to q close
two points later.

Shows Her ElatiOn.

AT THE end of the momentous
match in which she evened the
score with Miss Clarke for the latter's
victory in the finals of the Old Do
minion tournament at Richmond last
month, Miss Cootes was so overcome
that she wept for sheer JOY. Keyed
to the highest pitch, the champion
had maintained her tenseness through
out the two sets in which she out
steadied her rival, playing deep, forc-
ing shots to Miss Clarke's court.
Never was Edith able to flash the
tennis which carried her to the finals
Of the two previous tournaments, but
her inability to live up to her recent
performances was result Of her
conqueror's setting the pace, rather
than to any flaw in her own play.
In the doubles match. Miss Clarke
and Mrs. Robinson wisely kept smash
ing and driving at Mrs. Wyeth. The
winners scored repeatedly on place
mentS at, or past, Miss CooteS' part
ner, and from the first game on the
identity Of the new champions never
was in doubt.

So Only Kress Scores.

TT WAS the Nationals big oppor-
tunity to win the ball game, and
when Ben Chapman rifled a liner
toward rightfeld the prospects mo-
mentarily looked great. Gleeson
grabbed the ball, however, and Kress
tagged up to score. Buddy Lewis then
flied to Averill and Cecil Travis
grounded weakly to Trosky to end it.
Opportunity knocked twice more for
the Nationals during the game. With
one down in the sixth Joe Kuhel
reached base on an error by Hughes
and after Bolton had flyed out, Harder
walked Kress and Bluege to fill the
bases WaShington's pitching short
age being what it is, Cascarella had to
bat for Cascarella. and he tried to
beat out bunt to Trosky. He failed
by step, and that was that
1t was after two we're down in the
last half Of the sixth that Cleveland
scored the winning run. Cascarella
gave up his second base on balls to
Hale and the Tribe inhelder stole Sec
ond by sliding around Bottoms semi
wide throw. Joe Vosmik, hitherto
helpless, then singled to center to
score Hale, making it 81.

N YEW YORK. June 20.-The
N Giants Topped the St. Louis
Cardinals National League
lead to a slim one-game mar
gin today. as Carl Hubbell chalked
up his ninth victory Of the season
with a 7-to-6 triumph over the gas
house gang.
He held the Cards to six hits and
one run for the first seven innings be-
fore they found the range for three
tallies in the eighth and two more in
the ninth, the latter two coming on
young Stu Martins homer with q
mate on base.
With the second-place Chicago
Cubs winning n Brooklyn, the Cards
found their pace-setting position in
more danger than it has been for
weeks.
Hubbell did not last the game, bow
ing out in the eighth when consecu-
tive hits by Pepper Martin, Ducky
Medwick, Rip Collins and Virgil Davis,
along with Dick BartelTs wild throw
produced the Cards three runs. But
his mates had given him enough of a
lead in the first two innings to make

BIuege Misses in Pinch.

WAsHINGTONs only other chance
w to do any damage came in the
eighth inning With two out, Bolton
slashed single off Harder's glove and
moved to second base when Kress
propelled his third straight hit through
the infield. 1t thus was put up to
Bluege, but Ossie wasn't hitting today.
He sent soft grounder to Hale, who
forced Bolton at third, unassisted.
That hit by Boyton, plus a first
Inning single by Travis, plus Kress'
three hits, comprised the Washington
attack in its entirety, unless you want
to include waiting out bases on balls.
Cascarella distributed his hits to the
Indians almost impartially, only
Frankie Pytlak getting more than one
and only Hale and Harder getting
none.

Clear Claim to Third Place
Is Aim of Nationals as They
Wind Up Series With Indians

Ossie Bleuge at the keystone base
He failed and the bases were loaded,
paving the way for Kress to score on
Chapman's liner.
frankie Pytlak, the pocket-sized
catcher whom Washington almost got
in trade for Cliff Bolton last Winter,
is the Nationals nominee for the
Al batting pest among the Indians.
In the opener Of the current series
Pytlak singled twice in four trips,
batted across three runs, and scored
on a double steal. Today the half
pint again made two hits.
pen CHAPMAN went the "5-for-o,"
as the boys say, but nobody on
the Washington team stung the ball
any harder than Griff's new acquisi-
ton. In the fifth Jimmy Gleeson
dragged down his liner and in the
seventh Hal Trosky made an uncon-
scious, backhand stab of his hot smash
to open the inning.
The last place Trosky looked for
the ball, after sticking down his paw,
was in his glove. He barely had time
to beat Ben to the bag.
Johnny Stone, the Nationals dyna-
mite in Detroit, has been just an
other guy with bat in his hand in
Cleveland. In two games against the
Indians the rangy outfielder hasn't
been able to get ball out of the in
field.

Each club had scored four runs in
the first two innings, the Cubs getting
one in the first and three in the sec
ond, while the Dodgers put together
four hits for as many runs in a second

The win pulled the Cubs up to a

Gleeson's Hit Hurts.

OBVIOUSLY unsettled at the start,
Cascarella might have got away
without 10 deficit in the first in
ming, but for a f1uke hit by Jimmy
Gleeson. He pitched a single to Roy
Hughes to open the game, but when
Cliff Bolton threw out Hughes on an
attempted steal, Joe was spotted a
fresh start. He then got Bill Knicker-
booker on a fly to Travis, but Averin
shot a single to center and Hal TroSky
doubled against the trick fence in
right field. 1t was the kind Of
cheap hit that made Averill stop at
third.
Here the radio crooner, late of the
Red Sox, tasted the dregs Of adversely
GIeeson pounded a curve ball into the
ground aud it bounced like tennis
ball off stone steps. BY the time Red
Kress caught it and threw it to first
base, Gleeson was safe and Avernl
was over the plate.
Kress, who represented practically
the entire Washington offense, was
responsible for tying up the game in
the fifth inning. The red-head sim
gled off that joke rightfield fence and
moved up when Ossie Bluege walked.
Cascarella laid down sacrifice bunt,
but when Third Baseman Sammy
Hale attempted to catch Bluege at sec
ond the bases were loaded with nobody
