Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-09-06
By BURTON HAWKINS.

Dutch Leonard isn't inclined to
be jolly or even his normal COM
placent self these days. He has
taken to sulking, but excusably so,
for the plump Belgian has lost three
successive games by a margin of
one run and if it doesn't cease soon
he may lose the remainder of his
rapidly vanishing hair.
Dutch is fretting over the Mats
lack of power, which seems to be
emphasized each occasion he ambles
toward the mound He has been
the victim of seven defeats this
season by margin of one run and
what might have been another
glorious year has been a keen disap-
pointment.
He launched the season by losing
10 game to Boston, the Red Sox' S
only run being unearned. He has
dropped 80 and 81 decisions to
New York the last two times he
has faced the Yankees. He has lost
4-3 and 81 games to Cleveland and
a 4-3 game to Detroit
Against those clubs which are
battling for the pennant Dutch has
been no less than sensational, but
it isn't reflected in a record that
reads Is victories and Is defeats.
With something like an even break
in those seven close games Dutch
could be scrapping to duplicate mis-
achievement of 20 triunphs in 1899,
but now he hasn't chance.
It's going to be a bit cruel from
the salary angle, too, no doubt, for
President Clark Griffith of the Mats
declares firmly pitcher must
repeat good year before he war;
rants a salary of stable proper
tions. With an addition to the
family expected next week, Leonard
hardly will be in a mood to agree
to a shaved salary.
Mats Drop Two to Yankees.
Bobby Feller of the Indians is the
only pitcher in the league who has
pitched more innings than Leonard
An indication that Dutch has been
effective consistently is mirrored
in the fact Manager Bucky Harris
has started him 80 times and Dutch
has finished 81 of those games.
Leonard probably has been as
smooth a pitcher this year as he
was in 1889, but the breaks haven't
happened his way He has COM
pleted as many games as he did last
year and already has struck out
more men. Those close ones going
against him have hurt badly.
1t was an unearned run that licked
Dutch yesterday as the Mats dropped
a double-header to the Yankees,
81 and 81, before 1900 spectators.
Leonard limited the Yankees to
eight hits, but Washington could OBJ
tain only seven off Rookie Ernie
Bonham.
The Yankees took a 10 lead in
the second inning of the opener.

The National League flowed along

Hit kept nine hits pretty well scat
tered, walked five and struck out
six Frank Mccormick helped him
with a two-run homer in the first
and singled with the bases loaded in
the eighth, when the Reds made
four runs.
The Brooklyn Dodgers kept their
distance, eight games back, by beat
ing out the Phillies, 8-5, scoring
three times in the 10th inning to
put the game out of reach after the
tailenders had tied it up with one
run in the last Of the ninth.
The New York Giants swept a
double-header from the Boston
Bees, 81 and Al. The Giants tai
lied four runs in the ninth to win

macher pitched three-hit ball in the

Jacobs Breaks Even
On Charlotte Slab
By Good Finish
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 6.-Select-
ed as the best righthand pitcher in
the Glass A Eastern League last
year, Newton (Bucky) Jacobs Just
managed to break even in the Glass
B Piedmont this season, winning
eight games and losing the same
number for Charlotte, farm club
for Washington.
Jacobs won his last two starts to
pull even with the 500 mark. He
hurled nine complete contests for
Charlotte and in 118 innings issued
"a bases on balls and struck out A.
In Bucky's winning efforts, he
appeared like the Jacobs of 1898 and
1899, turning in three 5 and three
Shit performances. In one contest
which he lost he allowed only four
hits.

Triple Deadlock
AT Top Looms
In Hot Fight
Bosox Also Factors
In Race With Tribe,
Tigers, Champions
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The American League inferno is
getting hot enough to explode, and
1t probably will next week.
Right now there is a good posi-
bility Cleveland, Detroit and New
York will be approximately tied
by Tuesday when the world cham
pion Yankees invade the West for
two games with the Indians and
three with the Tigers. If some
thing doesn't pop in the heat that
will be on in those games it only
can mean the American League is
lined with asbestos.
The valiant Detroit Tigers over
whelmed the Indians again yester-
day, ll-3, and the Yankees walloped
Washington in both ends of a
double header, 81 and 81. Fur
thermore, the Boston Red Sox
pounced on the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, 81, and created the almost
unprecedented situation of the en-
tire first division being punched in
side Az games three weeks before
the season ends.

Columbus may not be able to
overtake first place Kansas City in
the American Association race, but
continues to make it increasingly
difficult for Minneapolis to regain
second place.
The Birds came from behind to
win another game last night, defeat
ing Indianapolis, 8 to 6.
The victory boosted their bulge
over Minneapolis to two games and
left them in position to further
annoy the front-running Blues.

General OF D. A. r.
Issues New Years Statement
and Address

Is languages, through its Good Citi-
zenship Pilgrimage and other activi-
ties, this society has sought to build
a better citizenry. Recent events in
Europe have focused the spotlight
upon the very things that the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton have always sponsored. 1t is
gratifying to find the attitude of
the society so well justified as it
reaches the half century mark OF
its existence.
Time has also justified the work
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution in material lines" Mrs.
Robert said. ut is we'll remembered
that when the society purchased the
Cite for Memorial Continent hall
doubt was expressed by many citi-
zens. The property was in an out
of the way place, an unsightly loca-
ton then little more than a swamp.
Some questioned whether the society
was going beyond its means in erect
ing such a beautiful building. Again
when Constitution Hall was propos-
ed there was question over the huge
amount of money which would be
required to fulfill the obligations. 1t
is to the perpetual credit of Ameri-
can womanhood that in the years
Of depression, rather than surren-
dering their unfinished project, the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton largely through contributions
Of a penny a day from their many
thousands of mer-bers actually re-
duced the debt on this last build,
ing by one-half million dollars. To
day with it's three great buildings
erected through the loyal coopera'
ton of members in every state OF
the union as well as in other coun-
tries, the holdings of the Daughters
of the American Revolution are un-
equaled by any other women's or
s%anization in the world. The Nation
al Society occupies an enviable 10
cation in the city of Washington
along the same broad emu on
which is located the Corcoran Art
gallery, the American Red Cross, and
the Pan American Union. Across the
street from Constitution Hall now
stands the huge building of the De-
partmcnt of the Interior. This sec
ton of the city is unequaled in beau
ty in any capital of the world. 1t
seems indeed that the vision and
foresight Of the Daughters of the
American Revolution has been JUS
titled"
