Home Runs Not Vital,
Browns Two-P|y
Win Indicates
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

A lot of attention is paid home
runs in the major leagues, but proof
that they are not altogether vital
has come from an unexpected
quarter.
The st. Louis Browns, who took
over squatters' rights to the Amer
lean League cellar with an 11-game
losing streak. swept double header
yesterday with single round-trip
ticket. while their victims. the WASH
ington Nationals, collected three.
Furthermore. the Mats stayed in
and around fifth place for six weeks
with only four home runs in "A
games, but within eight days have
dropped to seventh, although hitting
eight home runs.
The New York Yankees, who can
take the home runs or leave them
alone, forced their fifth link in a
new victory chain by beating De-
troit, 8-4, with nothing more violent
than solitary double. Red Ruffing
scored his eighth triumph with a
o-IliU plCClllllS JOO, WlllCIl tlC lldu W
turn over to Johnny Murphy in the
eighth because of finger injury.
The days most impressive pitch
ing performance was another g.
hitter by young Bob Feller, who
stands a good chance of becoming
the years outstanding pitcher.
The Cincinnati Reds resumed their
triumphant tour of the National
League by betting the New York
Giants, Al. They forced Carl Hub
bell out of the box after he had
pitched to three men and finished
up their assignment in the second
inning when Bill Werber hit his first
homer of the season with a team
mate on base.
Chicago's Cubs crammed six runs
into the first three innings to beat
the Phillies, "a, in the first half of
a scheduled double header and lost
chance to clean up when Pennsyl-

Washington made menacing ges-

Browns decreased that to 81 in

but Rick Ferrell grounded out and,
after George Case and Bobby Esta-
leila walked to fill the bases, Lewis
grounded out to First Baseman
George McQuinn to terminate that.
The Mats were getting along very
nicely in the second game, too,
thanks to Case. who smashed his
second home run of the season in
the third inning. When the eighth
inning rolled around they were
trailing only 5-3, but the Browns
promptly ruined any illusions the
Mats were nursing concerning WIN
ming that tiff. for they pounced on
the 18-year-old Masterson for six
hits and as many runs.
And that double dose plunged the
Mats within whispering distance of

IqIehurt Americas
Stur as Invaders
Are Put to Rout
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Beaten in
the opening match, II to 7, and sadly
out-mounted despite their long and
painstaking preparations, the chal-
longing British polo stars were glum
today about their prospects of avert
ing defeat in the international series
for the Westchester Cup.
They will get one more chance
next Sunday. when the second
match is scheduled at Meadow Brook
field, but there appears only re-
mote possibility of the series going
the limit Of three games. The great
37-goal team fielded by the Amer
leans packs too much punch.
Although they have spent an out
landish sum in providing the finest
string of ponies available, the British
found yesterday they still were weak
in horsef1esh. Aidan Roark, their
No 2. was forced to change ponies
four times in one of the late chukkers
and was thoroughly disgusted.
Iglehart Is Americas Star.
II don't know whether we'll change
our lineup before next Sunday or
change our horses" he said as he
mopped his head wearily after the
defeat. But we've got to change
something if we're to beat these
chaps"
The British were unanimous in
proclaiming Stewart Iglehart the
star of the American victory Filling
in for the injured Cecil Smith, Igle-
hart scored only one goal and seldom
caught the eyes of the $4,000 spec
tators, but the British said he was
the one who broke their hearts.
Even should Smith recover in time
for the next game, it is difficult to
see how he can displace Iglehart.

young Mike Phipps divided scoring
honors for the winners, each with
four goals, and Winston Guest. be-

Britons Wild With Shots.
To show how completely the hard
riding American four dominated
play on the slow turf, wet from
an overnight rain, the losers scored
four of their seven goals on foul
shots. The Americans gained only
two by this method. When they got
the willow ball in scoring distance,
they usually raped it between the
posts, where the British were wild
as hawks with their pay-of shots.
With all their warning that they
intended to rough it up. the British
still were trifle shy in the clinches.
Roark was spilled from his pony
in the second chukker and came up,
after regaining his breath, with a
painfully bruised shoulder.
Bob Skene, the heralded young
Australian playing No. for the
British, was big disappointment.
He showed slight disposition to mix
it in the early periods and never
looked the demon scorer he had
been painted. Gerald Balding ac-
counted for the four foul goals

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The Mats to-
day enjoyed the pause that de-
presses, comparatively soothed by
the delightful impossibility of being
unable to prolong their chain of
losses at least until tomorrow. And
while idling here they mulled over
the increasingly disturbing evidence
that the 1899 edition of Griffith S
oddities may represent the worst
Washington baseball team in 80
years.
For soon, it seems. the Mats are
destined to explore the gloomy re-
cesses of the American League Gel
lar, and if they maintain their pres
ent pace they apparently will be
doomed to remain there. 1t might
be discreet to don rosy-hued spec
tacles and predict an about-face for
the Mats, but off their demonstra-
tions to date they hardly warrant
more than shred of optimism.
Not since 1909, three years be-
fore Griffith became affiliated with
the club, have the Mats finished in
the cellar. Now the club is making
threatening gestures in that direc-
ton, with no guarantee of checking
their toboggan tendencies.
If the Mats continue at their cur
rent feeble pace they will win SIS
games and lose 80, which should be
inefficient enough to clinch the Gel
lar spot. Losing more than 80
games, incidentally. would give the
Mats the dubious distinction of
dropping more engagements than
any Washington team since that
1909 outfit, which was shellacked
ITO times.
Mats Pitching Weakens.
AS presently constituted the Mats
aren't exactly immune from the
ignominy of being booted into that
dungeon. While they may not be
bad bets for the future, what with
several promising youngsters on the
roster, the Mats apparently won't
ripen into anything more than a
respected second division club this
season. Now. though, they aren't
commanding more than a minimum
of respect.
Good pitching, that rather rare
commodity which had promised to
make the Mats first division threat,
suddenly has collapsed as mirrored
by the fact that Washington has
been presented only one creditable
hunk of hurting in its last IL games
and wasted that.
Washington's only two triumphs
IN its last dozen contests were
achieved through convincing hitting.
Alexandra Carrasquel has been the
lone pitcher to unleash a potent
brand of throwing over that stretch,
but he was beaten, 81, despite yield
ing only four hits to the Athletics.
Jimmy De Shong gave Manager
Bucky Harris flicker of hope he
would recapture the cunning that
saw him snatch 18 victories in 1896,
but Jimmy's spring form Vanished
and he still is seeking his first win
of the season.
During the past two weeks Harris
mas employed every member OF his
pitching staff and the resulting pic
ture, with the exception of Carras-
quels performance, hasn't been
heartening. For in that period the
opposition has averaged II hits and
Z runs per game against Washing
tons assortment of beavers.
Further, Bucky hasn't a relief
pitcher who has risen above medi-
ocrity. Pete Appleton and Harry
Kelley have been something less
than sensations while Walter Mas
terson's inexperience has stymied
him. Bucky now regards Joe
Krakauskas as his ace relief agent,
but the big blond still Is on trial
In that respect.
