CHICAGO, May 20.-It's SEEM
ingly senseless to peck out some
thing complimentary concerning
the fielding of Zeke Bonura, but
the delightfully."- daffy Washing
ton first baseman has been con-
tributing some amazing defensive
gems on the Mats tour.
Twice in Detroit the lumber
ing Zeke travelled far to his
right to spear balls which he
would have gazed at in his be-
wildered fashion two years ago,
and yesterday he saved WASH
ington considerable embarrass-
ment with a brace of plays any
first baseman would have been
proud to record.
In the third inning, with Bob
Kennedy on third and Joe Kuhel
on second, Zeke leaped to his
left to stab Taft Wrights sizzling
liner. In the seventh he dived
to his right to check Luke Ap-
pings grounder, rolled in the dust
and recovered in time to toss to

BY BURTON HAWKINS,
Star Stan CORRESPONDENT.

CHICAGO, May 20-Tenants Of
the first division by margin which
isn't impressive but nevertheless
adequate, the Nationals today were
scanning possibilities Of remaining
there and the concensus indicated
they relish their prospects.
Examination of the Mats pitching
performances thus far in the CAM
paign apparently would dictate cau-
tion in predicting such success for
Washington, but Manager Bucky
Harris is inclined to vision his club
as steady inhabitant among elite

proves.
Washington, equipped with no
recognized fence clippers, has been
extremely fortunate to capture
dozen decisions. In half of its win
ming games its pitching has been
on the sour side, with the Mats
peck-and-pray system of swatting
yielding dividends.

Athletics, who collected 13 hits. Sid
Hudson twice has won games despite

over Chicago although giving up IS

The Mats, in brief, have been lucky
to escape the cellar on the brand OF
pitching they've obtained Hudson,

anything approaching his capabil-
tiles, while Leonard, despite his four
wins thus far, including a 1910
verdict over the White Sox here
yesterday, isn't showing the form
that won 20 games last year.
Hudlin on Spot Tomorrow.
Harris, quite naturally, anticipates

Jeffra, Archy Settle
Grudge, # Not Title,
In Battle Tonight
Each Feather Confident
Of Decisive Victory
In Baltimore Ring
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE. May 20. - Two
leather-throwing little guys with
lots of ambition will meet tonight
in fight that at least will settle
personal grudge even if it doesn't
untangle the argument over the
featherweight boxing title.
Opponents in the 15-round scrap
billed as world championship
event will be Harry Jeffra of Bal
timore and joey Archibald Of Provi-
dence, r. I.
Maryland and New York will
recognize the bout as a title scrap,
but the National Boxing Association
has refused to sanction it. In the
N. B. AS book, Petey Scalzo is the
champ.
Second Bid by Jeffra.
The grudge dates back to last fall
when Archibald gained a decision
over Jeffra in Washington in a
match that drew caustic comment
from fans in this sector and threw
the feather title into as big a scram-
Bile as the White House Easter egg
hunt.
Archibald's decision was disputed.
The N. B. A. and the MARYLAND
Boxing Commission ordered a re-
match. Then the N. B. A. gave it's
recognition to Scalzo. Maryland re-
signed from the N. B. A. and New
York added it's sanction to a Jeffra-
Archibald title fight.
1t will be Jeffra's bid for his sec
ond title. The Baltimore boy once
held the bantamweight title, but lost
it to Sixto Escobar after having
beaten the Puerto Rican twice.
Both Boxers Confident.
Both champs claimed last night
that victory was in hand.
II am confident that I will win
decisively," Jeffra said.
II whipped Jeffra the last time
and I am going to do 1t again."
declared Archibald.
Arthur Donovan will be the
referee.
