13th-|nning Explosion
Blasts Heurich Nine
From Title Meet
Birmingham Hits Downes
For Win; Champion A|tes
Goes to SemifinuIs

To the Heurich Brewers the ma
tional amateur baseball tournament
was only memory today as the Dis
trict aggregation joined other un-
successful contenders for the cham
pionship on the sidelines after bow
ing to Birmingham, 90 in l3 innings.
Earlier in the day Heurich trounced
Barberton, 90, in playing off tie
game.
Birmingham went ahead in the
eighth on 6-run rally, only to have
the Brewers knot the count with a
2-run uprising in the ninth. The
Southerners got to Walter Downes
for three runs in the fatal 18th.
Johnny De Bettencourt and Walter
James preceded Downes to the
mound.
Jimmy Lawrence, who was we'll
nigh invincible in the extra innings,
was the winning hurler.
In the only other game played. the
defending champion Altes Lager
nine of Detroit, blanked Springfield,
TO, behind the 2-hit twirling of
Walter Lacey, to gain the semiflnals.
Borovich and Waczniak paced the
attack with two hits each.
The tournament was scheduled to
resume this afternoon on the South
Ellipse with the defending champion
Altes Lager nine engaging the Kra-
mers at 2 O'Clock. Jordan Park drew
a bye.

President Clark Griff1th admits that
much of the reason for the Mats
lack of success this year has been
futility in the outfleld and lack Of
pitching. So today, with the Browns
still guests at the ball park, he was
to receive another new rookie-a
second baseman!
The arrival of Eddie Leip, an
other Joe Cambria discovery, will
boost the Mats second basing force
to four, excluding Charley Colbert
and Ossie Bluege, who also can play
the bag. There is Buddy Myer, the
forgotten man of the outfit, and
there are Rockies Jimmy Blood
worth and Morris Aderholt, both of
whom pleasantly have surprised
with their work. And now comes
Mr.. Leip.
Cambria. who dug up the boy,
talked Griff into the idea as soon as
Joe's Springfield team was eliminat-
ed from the Eastern League playoffs.
Most of Leip's career as an under
graduate in the Mats minor league
school was spent at Greenville, in
the Sally League, and Cambria says
that he is hot stuff. Griff is inclined
to take Joe's word for 1t. After all,
Aderholt also is Cambria dis
covery.
Now Bucky Is Bewildered.
So now Manager Bucky Harris is
placed in a strange position. When
Myer got hurt he put Bloodworth on
the bag and Jimmy came pretty
close to being his most valuable ball
player. Then Aderholt appeared on
the scene and the big, rangy boy
from North Carolina has looked just
as good as Bloodworth. In his first
game he hit home run and sim
gle. Yesterday, in his second, he
made another hit in Dutch Leon
ards 5-to-l victory, drove across
two runs and scored one. Even be-
fore he heard of Leip's command to
report, Harris was acknowledging
bewilderment as to whom to play al
second d-Bloodworth or Aderholt.
Cambria seems to think that Leir
and Aderholt are close in ability
Aderholt is taller and rangier but
Joe says that Leip is little better
around the bag and will make more
double plays.
With Leip from Springfield will
come a pair Of pitchers but they are

not exciting. Both Rene Monteagudo
and Bucky Jacobs have been up
with the Mats before and were
found wanting. Harris, for instance,
has said that he doesn't care to look
at Monteagudo again, although the
little Cuban southpaw won 20 games
in the Eastern League this season.
Still, he had won 10 in the same
circuit last year and in considerably
less than full campaign. And when
he was brought to Washington our
Mr.. Harris turned thumbs down on
him.
Jacobs Got q Sore Arm.
Jacobs is the ex-University of
Richmond lad who came up couple
of years ago and who was shipped
back to the bushes. He served last
year at Charlotte and got another
trial last spring in training camp.
But he was deemed too small and
not fast enough.
He went to Springfield and won
his first Is games but he apparently
was overWorked. Anyway, he came
up with a bad arm and has been of
little value recently. Why he is be-
ing brought to Washington again is
stumping lot of people.
AS Joe Krakauskas prepared to
face the Browns in the second of
this three-game series, the Mats were
felicitating themselves on breaking
another losing streak and bouquet
ing Leonard on his 18th victory of
the season. Dutch, who has lost only
seven games, now has a definite
chance of winning 20 games but ii
may mean that he cannot lose an
other decision.
The end of this series with the
Browns tomorrow will be marked by
a day" for Griffith, thrown by the
Masons of this jurisdiction. Because
Griff for more than 20 years has do
mated his ball park annually for the
benefit Of the Masonic and Eastern
Star Home, the craft will honor the

ceremony before the game. Eugene

The opening day of this current
amateur championship is likely to be
known in the future as the day of
the giant-killers. Favorites were
toppling on every hand. Two ex-
champions-playing at the top Of
their game-were eliminated by boys
who were just a stroke or two bet

Goodman went to the 18th hole only
to falter and fall dead. And Bud
Ward, picked by many as the class
of this battle, had to play an extra
hole to remain in the fighting.

Getting back to the Mats game
yesterday, they won 1t in the sixth

ter had shut them out and seemed
on his way to a 10 victory. The
Browns only run came in the first
inning, when Leonard walked Don
Heffner and gave hits to George
McQuinn and Harlond Cliff. There
after he scattered four hits over
eight innings and allowed only one
batter to get as far as second base.
The Mats were pretty helpless be-

Cincinnati Shakes OF
Misfortune 10 Win
Five Straight
World Champions Drop
Three in Row; Cards
And Cubs Hang On
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

Just to cross up the experts, the
"faltering" Cincinnati Reds may rush
into the National League pennant
under full steam and the "invincible"
New York Yankees may make an
other embarrassing entrance into
the American League sanctum
through the back door.
The courageous Cincinnati club,
shaking off misfortunes right and
left while withstanding a siege by
the st. Louis Cardinals, has won
Ave consecutive games this week, in
Guiding q double-header from the
New York Giants yesterday.
Yanks Drop Three Straight.
In contrast, the world champion
Yankees, with resources to burn,
have lost three in a row. But the
Boston Red Sox also were beaten
yesterday, improving New York's
position and recalling last year when
the Yankees "clinched" the flag
while dropping double e-header to
the lowly st. Louis Browns.
This is the pennant picture:

Girls Say Joyce Wethered
Gould Win U. S. Amoteur.

If the boys" said Bobby Jones,
swould slow down their backswings
and hurry themselves on tees and
greens, they would strike a nice
average. Somehow the players seem
to have got the idea that there is
some virtue in taking long minutes
to study every shot. To take your
time and play each shot deliberately
Is fine, but to dilly and daily just
for the sake of using up daylight
Is thing that mars the play seri-
ously for the spectators. 1t was not
one boy or 10 who offended in this
RESPECT. 1t seems to be epidemic
this year"
Betty Hicks, the golfer from Long
Beach, Calf, who is about the size
of wooden tee, but who hits the
ball like 6-foot athlete, came over
with Beatrice Barrett and Marion
McDougall to look with mild disdain
at the play of the men. The subject
of women against men appeared
over the horizon, and with it the
name of the great English golfer,
Joyce Wethered.
IF Miss Wethered," said one of
the girls, were entered in this tour
nament, would like to make a nice
bet on her"
