WASHINGTON, D. MONDAY. 32, rZ9 Old Nat Jinx Yields to Yankees Feller Shows Lack of Seasoning New York Gets Big Season Edge as It Routs Griffs in Torrid Series. BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

IT DID not add to the peace of mind today to realize that Mr. Jacob Ruppert's Yankees are getting out of hand, i There was a time, you know, when the Yanks used to be soft touches for Washington ball clubs. Back in 1930, for instance, there was a fine Yankee team that seemed destined to win the pennant. But a Washington team that definitely was not destined to win the flag came along and won 18 out of 22 games from New York. That ruined the pennant hopes, and it has been thus almost from time on.

The great Yank club that won the flag last year by 2 games was held even by only one Mr. Clark Griffith, who owns the club, was modestly confessing that beating the Yanks was a gift. For a bripf spare of time this year It looked as if this penchant for knocking oft the Rupperts was going to remain in On the second day of the season the Nats invaded New York and Monte Weaver won a 3-to-2 decision. The following two days it rained, and so the GrifTs left Gotham holding the only "series" victory that has been scored over the champions this year. Too Hot for Griffmen.

however, it has been a different story. The Yanks had fought to a 4-3 in games prior to the Griffs' invasion of Manhattan last week end. and once on home soil again they proceeded to give the local firm a rousing going over. Tiie Rupperts took the first two games. 16-2 and 12-2.

and yesterday they grabbed a 4-to-3 decision from Monte Weaver. In the second game of a double-header they rallied with two out in the last inning to gain a 5-5 tie. Darkness prevented further play Thus the Yanks, with nearly half of the season over, hold the very substantial margin of 7 victories in 10 starts against the Nats. Only one other team the White dealt out more punishment to the Griffith forces. The Sox have won 8 of 12 games so far.

The Griffs need not feel ashamed of losing their spell over the Yanks. Verily, Mar.se Joe McCarthy's gang is as hot as Hades at the moment, and it is doubtful if any club in base ball could have beaten the Yanks. 4 By way of showing how hot are the champs at the moment, they have taken seven games in a row. Their home record so far is 29 wins, 7 defeats and a tie. As for hitting home runs, the YTanks have missed only twice in the last 18 days of play.

Weaver Beaten, 4-3. home today, the Nats were looking forward to makarg the most of a two-dav vacation before heading west for their third inland awing of the season. The Yank series was a trying set, what with the rifle heat and the activity involved in chasing the prodigious long-distance blows of the champs. Despite the rest enjoyed by the pitchers before the series they can use another very well. Weaver checked in with the best pitching performance of the set, although he was beaten in the opener of yesterday's double-header.

Monte held the Yanks to nine hits, but two of them were home runs by Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey and, in the end. they proved costly. Gehrig's clout, coming in the second inning, gave the Yanks a l-to-0 lead. In the third a single by Goofy Gomez, Crosetti's double and an infield out by Rolfe made it 2-0. The Griffs, held to two hits in the first six innings, cut the score to 2-1 In the seventh when Johnny Mihalic tripled with one out and scored when Lazzeri booted Millies' grounder.

In their half of the seventh the Yanks added another run. Dickey homering, but the Nats jumped on Gomez in the eighth and tied the score with a tworun rally. Koife is Real Troublemaker. BLUEGE started the uprising with one out. Oss singled and so (lid Joe Kuhel and Fred Sington.

driving Bluege across. Di Maggio fumbled Bington's ball, letting Kuhel reach third, and from there Joey counted on Travis' infield out. Rolfe, who was a troublemaker all day, led the winning rally in the eighth when he singled, raced a to third on a hit by Di Maggio, and on Gehrig's long fly. The nightcap found the Yanks taking a 2-0 lead after three innings against Jimmy De Shong, but the Griffs rallied in the fifth to drive Johnny Murphy from the box and four runs. The Yanks tied it up in the sixth, 4-4.

but Washington shoved across a run in the eighth to take a 5-4 lead. This lasted until the ninth. Then, with one down, Rolfe looped a double to center. Di Maggio flied out, but Gehrig doubled Rolfe across with the tying run and Johnny Stone saved a fourth straight defeat when he made a great diving catch of drive to end the inning and the game. The limps called it after this catch.

Still Fine Sport9 Swell Guy, Says Rice of John Montague, Phantom Golfer Now on Simt BY GRAXTLAXD RICE.

EW YORK. July mystery cloak falls from John Montague of Hollywood, or Ia Verne Moore of New still it leaves a friend. It has been astonishing to any one who has known Monty, as I have for the last three years, to read of him as a "bandit, braggart and tough guy," where, in those three years, he has been just the opposite. I wrote the first stories ever written about John Montague, three years ago, when I saw him, after many rounds, play as good golf over a stretch as I ever had mean rounds between 65 and 70. It was understood between us then, in anything I might write, that his past and his private life were his a friend and both a golfing and hunting companion, that was his business, not mine.

It was easy then to understand there was a shadowover his the past is heavy with shadows. I found him kindly, friendly, thoughtful and generous to a degree. I never heard him ask for any bet, nor refuse a fair one. An Enjoyable Companion. JF Y'OU named a dollar on the round, or nothing at all.

or a thousand dollars, it was O. K. with Monty. One answer is that, whether it was a golf match or a quail hunt, or a sit-around, he was a fellow you liked to be among those I could name in this list are Bing Crosby. Babe Hardy, Guy Kibbee, Ty Cobb, Adolph Menjou, Frank Craven, Gene Tunnev, Dick Hanely, Hal Sims, Dan Topping, John Weissmuller, Big Ed Kennedy and many others who know their way around.

Montague was sailing under no false colors. He told them all that his past was his own, that they take him or leave him as they found him then. There was no pretense of any sort about him. He said to me once during a quail hunt along the matted slopes of Catalina: "I've never asked any one what he did or where he came it what you are that ought to i naa a long talk with Monty, whom I called up in Los Angeles last night. "My only he said, in part, from the prohibition era.

where, for any number of young fellows, there was no law along that line that any one Which is true. I think I know his story better than most. Monty came a highly respected family in Syracuse, N. Y. Five feet 9 inches in height, weighing 220 hard as a section of granite, with what both Gene Tunney and Ty Cobb described as "the quickest strength they ever had La Verne Moore, or John Montague, was a fine allaround athlete golfer, foot ball' player, base ball of those natures who combine power, speed, timing, a cool head and a stout heart in competition; he was equipped naturally with all that it takes on the physical and competitive side.

Dick Hanley of Northwestern once told me that if he had Montague as a running guard, he wouldn't need any good backs to carry the ball. Model Citizen Seven Years. CEEKING more thrills at that time, around 1929 or 1930, Montague, or Le Verne Moore, became mixed up in a hard bunch as so many other young fellows did during that lawless period of American life. It was at this time he stepped into trouble and La Verne Moore of New York became John Montague of Beverly Hills and Hollywood. In the Far West he was riding on his own.

Is there any other way to ride? For seven years there was no breath of scandal against him. His love of golf and his love of championship both led to his present trouble. Naturally, he avoided every form of publicity, pictorial or written, in the new life he had mapped out. His reason for this now Is quite apparent. The almost forgotten and overlooked shadows of the prohibiton regime still were over the Mm days when I had walked the public streets with men who had committed still were unmolstereri.

This was a wild and spotty period in American life that mast people want to forget. Can Become Persecution. is John Montague, or la Verne Moore, fighting extradition? I asked him that last night. In the first place, he denies most of the charges brought against him. In the second place, he feels that all the publicity built around him as the man." "the phantom plus the human desire for publicity on the part of prosecuting public officials, will all be turned against him.

And this is all true, and it happens to oe on the human side of life. It also ran reach the stage of persecution. Any one can attack John Montague. or La Verne Moore, who has no shadow on his past, who has led a perfect life. It so happens I never have met one of this breed.

John Montague, La Verne Moore in his younger days, undoubtedly has made his share of mistakes. Who hasn't. But in the years that I have known him he has been a generous friend, an entertaining companion, a clean sportsman, a modest, thoughtful fellow, who will go out of his way to do any friend or even a casual acquaintance a favor, looking for nothing in return. Beyond that. 111 say he's a fine sportsman, a swell guy and a friend.

682. Squelching a Rumor. BUCKY HARRIS' indignant denial of the rumor that he will offer his resignation as manager of the Nationals came as glad tidings to followers of the Washington base ball rlub. Harris branded the rumor as indicating that he never uttered a statement even suggesting such an act. Whatever the source of the report, there scarcely ran be given much credit for even shooting in the dark.

Rumors like these too often put ideas in the heads of people and wrong a person who, as in the case of Bucky, certainly deserves a better fate. This has been a dismal campaign so far for Harris the most dismal, in fact, since he returned to Washington three years ago. True, he finished sixth in 1935. but nothing was expected that season. The year before Washington had finished in seventh place, and from that dolorous outfit the brightest star, Joe Cronin, had been removed via sale.

Indeed, Harris did well to lift the team a notch in the standing. Last season found Harris doing one of the finest managerial jobs of his 13-vear career. He took South with him to Spring training what conservatively might be called a mediocre ball team. At shortstop he tried young Cecil Travis, who had uyjvii oil luiiu auu ill lllf UUlliriU. Cecp was no howling success during most of the season and the venerable Mr.

Red Kress, who now is gone from the majors, and the superannuated Mr. Ossie Bluege helped at the job. Cruelly, fate deprived Bucky of the services of Buddy Myer, around whom Harris had intended building the 19.36 rlub. A 19-vear-old rookie. Ruddy I.ewis, was placed on third base.

His outfielders at the start were Stone. Hill, Powell, Carl Reynolds and Dee Miles. His catchers were Chf Bolton and Walter Millies. He Must Have I'sed Mirrors. JARRIS won a pennant and a world championship at 27, turning the trick in his first year as a manager.

It was quite a feat, but withal, most conceivable. Clark Griffith placed him in charge of a veteran, talented ball club. All it needed was a spark and Harris, a young playing manager, supplied it. But nobody yet has quite figured how Bucky piloted that 1936 team into the first division. It was an achievement comparable with any of Bucky's more glamorous ones.

Only by a margin of less than a game did that Washington club miss landing in second place. This showing, although tinged with an element of freakishness, nevertheless sent the hopes of those interested in the Griffith A. C. soaring too high. Even hopes thusly were affected as he took the Nats South this Spring.

He was able to point out that Lewis figured to improve. This was logical. So, too, was a similar outlook regarding Travis at shortstop. The acquisition of A1 Simmons promised to be helpful, particularly when it looked as if Fred Sington would not I do. And Shanty Hogan was melting down as no man in base ball history had melted before.

BUT who could foresee Peter Appleton's flop? He was counted upon to win 16. 17 or 18 games. Or who could foresee the failure of Joe Cascarella? Harris may not be the best judge of talent in base ball, but at any rate Cascarella looked so good that he wagered Tom Yawkey a $20 hat. that Joe would win 16 games. When he was sold to Cincinnati recently Cascarella had yet to win his first game.

His only good showing was in the opening game, when he lost a 4-to-3 decision to Philadelphia. After that he grew pitifully worse until he finally found disfavor and then was shipped away. How could anybody foresee? Poor Shanty Hogan! He lost so much weight that he was no good. Shanty couldn't hit and this, plus his natural slowness afoot, caused the Griffs to fiddle with a so-so string of fill-ins until the deal for Rick Ferrell was swung. Then, indeed, things promised to look up.

A three-year quest for a high-class backstop had come to an end! But then, swept away suddenly, was Simmons. The big punch was gone. No Chance Against Yanks. who start rumors such as the Harris-to-resign thing really are suggesting that such an act might be a good idea. In view of his team's dolorous showing.

What they fall to consider is that Bucky hRs very little material with which to work. The Yankee aeries, which apparently prompted the rumor, offered an interesting rontrast one club rich in material and another poor. Harris had his four top Carl Fischer, Monte Weaver, Wes Ferrell and Jimmy De for the series. Each had plenty of rest, and if the Griffs ever had a chance to hold their own with the Yanks it w-as in that week-end set. In the opener the Yanks pounded (See POPPING OFF, Page B-10.)

Although he has the makings of just about everything an elbower needs, Cleveland's lightning -ball youngster can't seem to find his name on the right side of the scoreboard when all the runs are added up. One hispered suggestion was heard today that a spot of seasoning, of the minor league variety, might do something toward solving the that a few months in fast class AA company might teach young Bobby the tricks of the trade and make him pay dividends. Certainly, he has shown in his last two starts what a whale of a difference just, a little experience might make.

He has pitched fine ball, but has lost both decisions through no one's fault but his own. Throws Away Victory. JJOB made his first start last week since the opening days of the campaign, and last the ball game because of his own fielding peg to an uncovered base. Yesterday, in his second time out. he and the Tribe dropped a 3-2 decision to the Detroit Tigers, largely because he had as much control as a cross-eyed man in target practice.

Although he pitched two-hit ball, his own wildness really last the ball game. A walk set up the first Tiger run. A wild pitch scored the second, and two passes in a row made the third a simple matter. The victory thus handed the Tigers boosted them back into second place in the American League, since the Chicago White Sox were unable to get better than an even break with the St. Louis Browns, winning the nightcap.
