There is nothing in the record book
dealing with runs let in but If the
authors want to start a new chapter
they can begin with Third Baseman
Buddy Lewis of the Mats.
In the last two games of the YAM
kee series in New York the young
third baseman, normally good field
er, committed four errors and per-
mitted IL unearned runs to cross the
plate. As in Wednesdays game Buddy
made a wild throw yesterday on a
side-retiring double-play chance and
before Joe Krakauskas could get the
side out Di Maggie had hit home
run and the champions had four runs.
Overshadowed by his atrocious field
ing was Lewis great hitting. In nine
times at bat during the two games
Lewis hit three singles. two doubles,
a triple and a home run. He scored
six runs and batted across three. Yes
terday he slapped Gomez for a single
and two doubles and then hit Johnny
Murphy for another single. His
average scared to 306 as result.
But what Buddy can't forget Is
throwing away two games to the
Yanks.
AL Simmons did all right at bat
yesterday, too. AL slammed four
singles and drove across two of Wash
ington's six runs In addition, he
made couple of neat catches in left
field.
Krakauskas has q sense OF humor.
Joe, who walked six batters and hit
another in five innings, was defend
ing his pinking of Joe Gordon on
the shoulder
He should have been hit" said
Krakky Did you see where he was
standing at bat? He wasn't even
close to the plate. My gosh. he must
think I'm wild or something"
Until he blasted that third-inning
home run far into the left-field stands
with two on base, Di Maggie had gone
hitless during the Washington series.
It was the biggest boost for the Wash
ington pitching staff since Clark
Griffith salvaged the boys from the
minors.
George Case didn't play because his

Travis, Foxx Stick Duel

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

Having just completed one Of the
dizziest road trips in the memory of
the clubs graybeards, the Nationals
today opened another home stand
which, if you are inclined toward op-
timism, may reveal their third-place
potentialities.
Of what they showed during q tour
Of the West and an eventful stop in
New York the Mats aren't a third-place !,
ball club. They lost five in row in
the West and then won six out of the
next eight games, including victory
over the Yankees. Then they bolster
ously blew sky-high the last two days
and sneaked home under cover of dark
ness with six wins as against nine
defeats.
Third-place teams holding major
league franchises don't cavort this way
but, fortunately for the firm, all Of the
campaigning isn't on the road Within
the friendly confines of Griffith Stadi-
um the Mats have been a pillar of
pleasant consistency and with this in
mind and the Boston Red Sox furnish
ing the opposition there is just
definite chance the home stand may
open with interesting developments.
Right Handlers Face Sox.
Having exploited all of his left
handlers in Yankee Stadium with high
ly uncommon, if not successful re-
suits, Manager Bucky Harris today
began to lineup his right-handers for
duty against the Red Sox. 1t long has
been pet Harris theory that his
right-handers can bother the Sox. if
any of his pitchers can, so Dutch Leon
ard was to face Jack Wilson in todays
opener, followed by Monte Weaver.
The series is for three games.
1t may develop the titanic struggle
for third place will prove dud. After
all, the Mats are seven games behind
the Red Sox and at best they could
only cut the deficit to four games. A
Boston win today. in fact, would take
away all of the series tang, II any.
Even the optimists would have to crawl
in bed and pull up the covers.
But the Boston series offers more
than vague bearing on third place.
A head-to-head duel between Short
stop Cecil Travis of the Griffs and
First Baseman Jimmy Foxx of the Red
Sox is on tap during the next three
days. They are, you know, tied for the

Grove Lame Again.
BY SID FEDER.
cNrto al nenrr o~~,<. g.. VIZ.

All in all, and taking it by and
large. those Cleveland pitchers cer-
tainly picked fine time to fold up.
In fact, the New York Yankees, now
sailing along 6la games in front of
the American League pack, will tell
you the Tribe elbowers couldn't have
chosen better spot to collapse like so
much wildcat oil stock and just about
toss their way out of the pennant
picture.
First it was young Bobby Feller. who
began getting kicked around and lost
"crooshal" one to the Yankees. Next
Johnny Aliens sore arm couldn't take
it any longer. Then Mel Harder's
comeback went back into the moth
balls.
And finally, Oscar Witt. who wasn't
used to that sort of thing-especially
not after the pleasant experience OF
plotting Newark's wonder team" to
an International League pennant by
251a games last season-sent young
Al Milnar and old Willis Hudlin to the
wars yesterday against the staggering
st. Louis Browns, and got no better
results
It's All Over, Yanks Feel.
Buck Newsom, opposing Milnar,
tossed a 5-hitter. and the Brownies
nipped the Tribe, 81. Then Les
Tietje, whose last well-pictured game
was beyond the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant, hurled 6-hitter. and
Gabby Streets lads clicked for an
80 decision.
Since the Yankees virtually were
handed a 9-6 victory by Washington,
this twin setback dropped the Tribe
q game and half farther back in the
race. And the fellows who were around
during the Yanks' last two pennant
conquests made ready to fall asleep
again. convinced the junior circuit
campaigning was all over.
The Boston Red Sox aren't showing
much interest in taking advantage of
the Tribes collapse. While the
Brownies belted the Indians. the Sox,
who might have climbed into second
place as result, dropped set to the
lowly Athletics.
Groves Arm Lame Again.
Lefty Grove started against Connie
Mack's infants yesterday and not only
lost So decision, but learned that
his arm, which he thought had re-
covered. once again is as dead as
Aunt Maggies schoolgirl romance.
What with such developments as
these, and Monte Stratton's four
hitter that gave the Chicago White
Sox a 1871 triumph over the Detroit
Tigers, there wasn't much action left
for the National League yesterday.
Only one game got by old man
weather and the schedule makers.
The Cincinnati Reds nipped the
Chicago Cubs. 81, in that one when
Ernie Lombardi whacked a homer in
the 14th inning. BY the setback, the
Cubs lost chance to move into a
second-place tie with the idle New
York Giants.

Air Cava|cade Planes
10 Assemble Here
On Way TO Florida
300 Ships and 600 Pilots
Expected to Take Port
In Annual Event

More than 300 light airplanes and
more than 600 airmen are expected
to take part in the annual aerial
cavalcade to the All-American Air
Races at Miami the first week in
January. Washington again will be
a stopping point for cavalcade
planes from New England, New
York and Pennsylvania.
Maj. Afford j. Williams, jr., in
charge of the cruise plans, an
nounced that on the basis of appli-
cations already received, 1926 air.
planes and $50 airmen are expected
to participate. Last year 20S two
scatter, 40-horsepower monoplanes
took part in the mass flight to
Florida, without accident.
The cavalcade will be divided into
three divisions-Eastern, Central
and Southwestern. Washington
will be the assembly point for all
airplanes in the Eastern division
coming from New England points
Buffalo, Erie, Pittsburgh and Har-
risburg. The main section of the
division will leave Roosevelt Field,
Long Island, January /. Detailed
itineraries have not yet been an
nounced. All divisions, however,
will assemble at Orlando, Fla. for
a massed flight to Miami, where
they will arrive about noon, Janu-
ary 6, the opening day of the air
races.
College Park Airport, College
Park, Md, has been designated as
the stopping point for all airplanes
IN the Eastern division.
"This 1899 light-plane cavalcade
to Miami is the most important
aeronautical event of the year."
Maj. Williams said. Coming at a
time when the Nation has been
aroused by our inadequate air de-
lenses and of the critical need for
adequate reserve of pilots and me-
chanics, the light-plane mass move
ment from all parts of the country
to Miami next month will serve
notice on our Government and peo-
pie that the only effective way to
have an adequate air defense is to
get the average man in the air as
pilot and plane owner"

MILES CITY, Mont, June 20.
The scene of confusion after the
Olympian plunged into Custer
Creek beggars description.
I heard the crash and rushed
down to the creek. The creek is
usually dry but, fed by a cloud
burst, the water was nine feet
deep and the cars of the train were
submerged or half submerged.
I was on the far side of the
creek away from the wreck and it
was impossible for me to cross be-
cause of the torrent of water.
CRIES OF INJURED
I could hear the cries of the
injured on the north bank. I also
could hear persons trapped in the
train or their rescuerS smashing
out windows to escape.
1t was dark and the screaming
added to the confusion. Still, it
was apparent some persons on the
south bank had kept their heads
and shouted encouragement and
directions to those trapped.
POWERLESS TO HELP
I could make out debris of all
kinds floating on the swirling
waters. SuitcaseS, boxes, baggage
of all description and pieces of
clothing were being swept down
stream.
It was agonizing to stand on one
side of the creek and unable to
help those fighting for their very
lives on the other.
Their cries for help are still
ringing in NV ears
