DISTRICT LINES UP
WITH BOXING BODY
Protects Title Bout From
Intentional Foul by
Joining N. B. A.
IN THE most important step taken

IN THE most important step taken
since the legalization Of boxing
here. more than two years ago,
1 the District Boxing Commission
has given the public more than ample
protection for the impending Freddy
Miller-Petey Sarron scrap at Gri1lth
Stadium Monday night by becoming
a member of the National Boxing AS
sociation.
By their action the commissioners
have insured local fight fans against
the world featherweight title bout
ending by an intentional foul. Should
either Sarron or Miller foul. any ac-
tion taken against the offending
fighter would automatically be recog-
ni1ed by 28 States, Cuba, Mexico
Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the cities
of Montreal and Quebec.
Working agreements with England,
Italy, Canada, Massachusetts and New
HAMPSHIRE, in addition to the other
boxing bodies, establish Washington on
the fight map and is certain to lead
to outstanding bouts, provided, OF
course, that the Miller -Sarron match
proves successful.
There is little possibility that the
title clash will be terminated by a
foul, however. DR.. Don S. Knowlton,
who has been designated as examin-
| ing physician for the bout, says he
will not stop the fight unless 1t is
necessary beyond all shadow OF doubt.
In a meeting yesterday at police
headquarters, Maj. Ernest w. Brown,
chairman; Claude Owen and Kenneth
Parkinson, members of the commits
sion, told Pete Reilly, Miller's man
ager, and Jimmy Erwin, Sarron's
mouthpiece, of the high aims of the
local boxing body and stressed the
fact that upon this bout hinges the
Districts fight future.
The commission also informed the
managers that the referee and judges
for the title tuSsle will not be an
nounced until shortly before the bout
is scheduled to get under way.
The referee will be picked from
Denny Hughes, Mugsy Morris. Eddie
Lafond or Charley Reynolds. while the
judges will be selected from Charley
Dunn, DR.. o. U. Singer, Frank
Schuyler and DR.. Bob Eller.
In the event of rain the entire card
will be held over until Tuesday night.

Bats at .667 Clip.

r EDS crime, of course, was that his
legs don't move swiftly enough
any more to fit in with the so-called
dash and fire policy of Uncle Clark
Griffths accent -on-youth club. Kress
can't move very far off dime, they
say. but he seems to be in fair way
of earning a pardon for his crime by
a big bat and adroit handling Of
what he is able to reach in the field.
1t was three days ago that Buddy,
now recovered, came down with a
bad stomach and Kress got his first
chance to play. He made single the
first day and two more singles and a
home run the second day. Yesterday
his contributions to the Nationals
17-hit attack were two doubles and
two singles. The total damage for the
three days has been eight hits in IL
times at bat for a .667 average, five
runs scored and four more batted
across, and II chances in the field ac-
Cepted in faultlesS and, at times bril-
liant fashion. To top it all of, Red"
even stole base.
There is, of course, only one thing
for Harris to do now. He must string
along with Red" until he cools Off
If he Cools of. The qualification Is
added because when he crashed the
lineup midway last season Kress
never slowed up at bat or af1eld. But
the puzzle that is Buckys is where
to play him.
Russell Shares Honors With Red"
HARRIS will give no inkling of his
plans for Kress, if any definitely
have been formed, but he isn't worried.
Il only wish" he was saying, that
problems like it were all had to
worry about.
When Myer gets back in shape he'll
return to second base, naturally, and
Kress will go somewhere else if he's
still hot. After all. finding a place
for Red" isn't hard. He can play
anywhere-1rst base. shortstop, the
outf1eld. Hell's bells, he even can
pitch in a pinch and catch, too."
Red" and Jack Russell shared
honors as the Griffs finally ended
their losing streak before a lad1eS'
day crowd of 1000. Russell, given
his first starting slab assignment,
pitched a far better game than the
score indicated and only because he
was firing in the late going and was
relieved by Jimmy DeShong. A pair
of home runs by Dusty Cooke and
Rick Ferrell plus ragged support, hurt
Jack, who otherwise had the Sox well
under control.
The Griffs found the Sox pitching
easy. They came out Of their slump
with bang, II bangs in fact, of
Fritz Ostermueller, Jack Wilson,
Johnny WEIGH and Stu Bowers. OF
these blows Kress and Jake Powell
accounted for seven between 'em to
lead the Griffmen to victory in an up

SUB HITS So HARD
STAR IS ECL|PSED
Finding Regular Post for
Nat SIugger Who Stuns
Bosox Is Problem.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

v IZZONER CHARLES (BUD-
DY) MYER, one of the best
ball players ever to pour his
Il carcass into a Washington
uniform, had a day" scheduled for
this afternoon at Griffith Stadium as
the Nationals square off for another
crack at Boston's Red SoX. That is,
officially it's Buddy's day. Unofdcially
it's Red KreSS'.
In tribute to his dramatic triumph
In the 1885 American League batting
championship race, Buddy was to
march to home plate, receive $500
diamond ring, and march-not to his
second-base post-but back to. the
bench. The answer to it all really is
a question, How are you going to get
KreSS out of the line-up?"
Thus the saga of Ralph (Red)
Kress moves along. He wasn't good
enough last year to play regularly,
they said. so he sat on the bench
until the day he was released" for
two hours. How he came back to
make four hits in four times at bat
and stay in the majors still is vivid
in the memories of Washington fans.
Today he had come back again-and
again on the strength of four more
hits in four times at bat.
He pulled the stunt yesterday to
lead the Nationals from the doldrums
of a five-game losing streak to a
12-to-9 victory over the league-lead-
ing Red Sox and today the mantle Of
regular was in his grasp. Not that
Red will keep playing in Myers place
because when Buddy is physically fit
he can't be kept out, but somewhere
in the lineup. it now is felt by Man
ager Bucky Harris, a place must be
made for KreSs.

MAJOR PITCHERS
WELL WA[L0PED
Batters Force 23 HurIers
Into Service in Last
Four Contests.
BY ANDY CLARKE,

AsSOSAdSCO ACoo DpOA 10 "tAtCA'
~ ITCHERS, durable pitchers who
- can start a game and finish it,
are scarce around the major
leagues these days.
The heavy bat-wielders are making
life miserable for the men who toe
the rubber, especially in the National
circuit, and there have been some
lengthy mound parades in the sea-
sons encounters thus far.
Out of eight pitchers who started
in four games yesterday only one
was on deck when the last man was
out. Charley Ruff1ng went the dis
tance for the Yankees, who lost a 80
decision to the Athletics, who pressed
two hurlers into service. Nine pitch
ers saw service as the Cardinals beat
the Cubs 11-9. Five went to the hill
as the Pirates beat the Reds, 9-6, and
six took turns in the box as the Ma
tionals downed the Red Sox, 1873.
American League Record Better.
THE totals show that out Of 1853
starts thus far in the National
League season, only 81 times have the
twirlers gone the distance. The
worst record is shown by the Boston
Bees who in 20 games have seen
their pitcher complete his chore only
three times. Danny MacFayden
pitched all three of these games.
Giant pitchers have completed 6 of
their 19 starts, with Carl Hubbell
going the distance three times, while
Philly pitchers have fallen by the
waySide in 20 out of % games. The
Cards have the best record with II
of their 10 starting hurlers seeing the
job through.
The lowly st. Louis Browns have
the worst record in the American cir
cult with only three of the starters in
81 games staying the distance while
the Red Sox top the league with Is out
of % games worked by one pitcher,
Lefty Grove having completed S.
Pitchers have gone the route II times
in ITO starts in this circuit.
Cards Step Ahead of Cubs.
THE Cards replaced the Cubs in first
place in the National League by
yesterdays free-hitting conquest.
Johnny Mize walloped a brace of
homers and single while Joe Med
wick drove in five tallies with homer
and two singles. The Cubs made a
late game rally that induced Manager
Frankie Frisch to send the redoutable
Dizzy Dean into action, the last of
four pitchers the Cards used against
five Cub fingers.
The Pirates maltreated three Gin
cinnati hillmen. Cy Blanton, who
hasn't been up to his last years form
in his starting attempts this year, went
into the game as a relief hurler for
the Bucs, taking the mound in the
seventh with none out and the bases
loaded to fan pinch-hitter Ernie Lom-
bardi and make Kiki Cuyler foul out

Red Sox we're the first In five starts

Tn This Corner. Weiehin' =


IN REBUTTAL the Grifts club house
buzzed with stories that when
Cooke again was retired in the fourth
inning on a force play at second base
he slid into Red Kress too forcibly for
safety. 1t was suspected in some
quarters that Dusty was armed with
a meat ak and a brace and bit.
Thus 1t went, for nine innings.
In the sixth inning KreSS
doubled to left and tried to
stretch it. He was out at third
but Bill Werber might have been
out, too, If Reds aim with his
spikes had been better. accord
ing to the Bostons.
There was pretty messy tangle, at
that, but nobody was hurt. Then, in
the ninth frame, it really became
serious.
Jake Powell, riding into third base
on the strength of triple, could have
slid and made 1t easily. Instead, ne
preferred to crash into Werber and for
a moment it looked as though they
were going to have it out. Werber,
fists doubled, advanced upon our Mr..
Powell and Jacob squared of. A brawl
probably was prevented by Umpire
Brick owen. who soothed the boys
enough to permit the game to go on.
But there wasn't much question, then,
but what a Boston game with the
Washingtons is no tea party.
