Grimth the trophy to be awarded
the winner Of the baseball tourna-
ment Martins mammoth new loop
will stage In Baltimore September
7-12.
The Washington Amateur Base
ball Association, headed by Vic
Guzza, was one of the prime movers
in assisting Martin to establish his
circuit, composed Of II leagues In
eight Eastern States. Washington
was an early entry. Interest in the
tourney has made competition hot
in the three leagues here-Naval
Barracks, District Recreation and
Industrial-and sandlot spectator
enthusiasm is coming back to the
great old days Of the sport.
Washington shares with Balti-
more the reputation of having made
amateur baseball history" Martin
said, "and it appears that the Cap
ital certainly should be . logical
choice for the all-America tourna-
ment next year"
The Clark Grifnth Trophy will be
presented to Martin in home plate
ceremonies tonight prior to the Chi

Griffs EmuIoting Team Of 1903
That Set Low-Scorinq Mark

The Mats, held to five hits by Bill
Dietrich, highlander. had three
scoring opportunities, but could do
nothing. Johnny Sullivan's single
and two passes filled the bases with
two out in the third with Stan
Spence, the Mats lone power-hitter,
up. Spence grounded to the first
baseman. Two hits had runners on
first and second in the fourth when
Yost skied to center. Haefner wal
on third and Spence on first in the
fifth when Powell popped to the
third baseman.
Thereafter, not a Nat reached first
base.
Tonight the Mats will try again
with Roger Wolf going after his
fourth pitching win against eight
defeats. The White Sox probably
will employ Johnny Humphries, who
has won five and lost six.
Yost. Nat rookie, made the play of
the night in the eighth when he
raced far to lean across q field box
barrier and nab Moses foul. The
feat gave the 1000 in the stands a
|real kick. W.
Case negotiated his 37th base
theft as he took second in the third
inning. He now is tied with the
Yanks' Stirnweiss again for the lead.
Dietrich was helped over the
hump by the Mats. On August 3 he
scored his 18th win to make his
total the best of his major league
career. He made the Mats his VIC
tins for his 14th win after three
failures against other outfits.

Brownies and Cards
Are Cautious About
Big Series Tickets
BY the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1S-Baseball
league leaders, like men who hope
to be nominated for President,
usually pretend they don't know the
score, so the Browns and Cardinals
are acting surprised at their 100 ap-
plications each day for World Series
seats.
Jim Bassford. advertising manager
for the Cards, said today he was re-
turning all requests for reservations
with the explanation that none will
be accepted until seats 60 on sale.
Then he muttered something about
awaiting until the National League
pennant was "mathematically Sc

Business Manager Bill Dewitt Of
the Browns also is pushing back the
applications as soon as they arrive
says he'll wait until the Browns
chances are more secure, or until
Commissioner Lands holds a meet

are acting as If they hadn't seen

BY JOHN b. KELLER.

Back in 1909 a Washington ball
club established a record no club
wants to tie. That year as the local
outfit wound up in last place in the
American League 1t showed a total
of only $50 runs, fewest ever for a
club in a season-and it played 15e
games, too.
The Mats won't match or beat
that mark this season, but they will
wind up the poorest scoring Wash
ington club In recent years unless
they better substantially the pace
they have followed in dropping three
straight games.
A new season low for the Mats
over such a span has been set with
only two tallies registered in the
three engagements. They lowered
the mark considerably, last night
when Chicago's White Sox took
them into camp, to 0. the second
shutout for the Mats In the three
games.
Good Pitching Wasted.
And as has been customary lately
a lot Of good Washington pitching
was wasted as the left-handed
knuckle-balling Mickey Haefner took
the beating. There wasn't a timely
wallop to get Mickey across.
For eight innings Haefner re-
stricted the White Sox to five hits
and one pass, the pass being issued
in the first inning and the only
really hard hit being a double by
Guy Outright in the sixth. Only
two of the White Sox had reached
second base
At the outset of the ninth, though,
17-year -old Eddie Yost, who had
looked plenty good afield earlier in
the game, missed Leroy Schalk' s
bounder for an error. Schalk was
forced when Outright attempted tc
sacrifice, but Ralph Hodgin ran his
consecutive games with hits to II
by ramming a two-bagger agains,
the right-field fence and Hal Trosky
hoisted to Jake Powell in deep left
center to get across the unearnee
run.

Need 36 Of As Game,
To Beat Record Set
By Bruins in 1906
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

No longer content with a mere
National League pennant, the St.
Louis Cardinals today hitched their
wagon to q star and scared after a
new all-time winning record under
the impetus of month-long record
of % victories in q starts.
If the Red Birds take 80 of their
remaining 45 contests, Manager
Billy Southworth will have the sat
isfaction of beating the 38-year -old
standard set by Frank Chances
Chicago Cubs, who won 116 games
in 1906.
AS the Cards have captured 81
and lost % to date for TAB per-
centage and need only .778 gait to
match the record, prospects of a
new mark are bright. Since the
defending champs started to roll in
high gear July %, they have main
tanned an 1852 percentage and given
no signs of Stacking.
Bucs Win 11th Straight.
Even Pittsburgh's 11-straight
splurge into temporary control Of
the second-place situation had to
take back seat to st. Louis mad
rush down the stretch. Tying the
Chicago mark was rousing incen-
tive to keep the Cards bearing down,
although the flag was lin the bag"
with a 171z game lead.
Chunky Max Lanier earned his
fifth shutout last night as the Cards
humbled New York, TO, for the
Giants 10th successive defeat. 1t
was Lanier's 10th victory and Ewald
Pyle's 9Th loss with three St. Louis
double plays featuring.
Pittsburgh stretched its streak to
II by trimming the Phils in a dou-
bleheader, 7-6 and 6-5, in 10 innings.
Bob Elliotts triple, scoring Jack
Barrett in the eighth, was the big
blow in the first, when Xavier
Rescigno notched his 7th triumph.
Pete Coscarart drove home Nick
Strincevich in the 10th to let the
rookie pitcher win his 9th at Dick
Barretts expense in the second.
Browns Increase Lead.
Jim Tobin was belted for IA blows
before he gave way after a ninth
inning injury, but his Boston Braves
outslugged Chicago, rs. Cincinnati
and Brooklyn were rained out Of a
morning game.
st. Louis heightened its American
League lead to seven games by
doubling the score on the Athletics,
1915, with Vern Stephens 18th
homer sparkling game-winning
rally for Nels Potter, who has cap
tured his last six outings. Jess
Sunday Pitcher" Flores was the
loser.
The Yankees slaughtered Cleve-
land. 1913, with Johnny Lindell's
five hits showing the way, four of
them being doubles to tie a major
league record held jointly by 19
men. New York pulled into a third
place tie with Detroit when the
Tigers and Red Sox had to call it
quits in the sixth because of rain
with the score tied, 3-3.
Hal Trosky's long outfield fly
scored Guy Outright with the only
run as the Chicago White Sox
blanked Washington, 10, behind
