ANNANShS h@' - nav
LITHELY tripping in robes of
- something akin to conquering
heroes, our Nationals re-
- turned triumphantly home to-
day full of intent and purpose to con-
tinue their drive for the first division
against the Yankees. To their amaze
ment, the GriffS discovered a week
ago, when they invaded New York,
that Col Ruppert's rifles aren't al
ways loaded for bar. Today they hope
to be able to bury that Yankee in
feriority complex for keeps.
The Nationals have done much
since they left home week ago. Just
before departure from Griffith Sta
dium, they won two of three games
from the Red Sox. This, combined
with the winning of two more series
in a row on the road, gives the Wash
ingtons quite record for the last 10
days. In New York they took a
series, 2 to /, and yesterday in Boston
they wound up a four-game set by
whipping the Sox in a double-header.
2 to and 3 to 2.
Thus, as suddenly as the Griffs
went into their gosh-awful slump in
July, they seem to have emerged from
it. AS result of winning 7 of the
last 10 games they have slipped by
Boston and now are occupying fifth
place by grace of few stray percent
age points. The pitchers lately have
started to pitch. Timely base hits are
ringing from the Washington bats
Now and then a full inning is played
without anybody on our side making
an error.

r ONDON, August 1.-THE sus-
pension Of Jesse Owens brought
from his Ohio State coach to-
- day the charge that the ANA

Olympic athletes around in barn
storming tours prompted by greed
in a drive for money.
Down with Owens, the A. A. U.

Snyder, coach of the four medal
Olympic star.
There was no need for this sus-
pension except to save the face Of
the A. A. U. Instead its face Will
have to be entirely rebuilt"
The brown Buckeye bullet was the
latest target of the unions keen
edged ak since Eleanor Holm Jarrett
was dropped from the Olympic SWIM

from European amateur competition.
The A. A. u, through President
Avery Brundage and Secretary Dan
