Macks Hammer Jones Out of Tilt in First, While Washington Shellacs McDonald and Hoyt; Giants Regain Second Place in N. L. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—The rest of the world may have conceded the American League pennant to the Philadelphia Athletics, but Walter Johnson and his Washington Senators have not yet relinquished hope of participating in the 1931 world series. With the season two-thirds complete, the Senators are ten full games behind the Athletics, but they still have a chance to nose out their rivals and they are determined to keep up the fight until they are definitely eliminated. The Senators have played championship ball throughout the season, winning sixty-three of their first 100 games for a .630 average, and even a slight slump for the Athletics still might enable Washington to take top honors, even though Philadelphia still retains a huge margin.
Philadelphia's lead was cut to ten games Sunday when the Senators won their second consecutive game from the leaders, 10 to 6. Alvin Crowder was the hero of the victory, holding the Athletics in check for the final eight innings after they had pounded Sam Jones for four runs in the first inning. The Senators matched Philadelphia’s four runs in the first with an assault on Hank MacDonald and added four more off Hoyt in the second inning to clinch the contest. New York 1 * third-place Yankees broke even with Boston, winning the first game of a double-header, 4 to 1. and losing the second, 1 to 0. Charlie Ruffing pitched the Yanks to victory in the opener, but George Pipgras lost a decision to Cy Moore in the nightcap. Each pitcher allowed only three hits with Pipgras losing when catcher Jorgens dropped a throw to cut off Boston’s winning run at the plate in the eighth inning. The Cleveland Indians strengthened their hold on fourth place by defeating St. Louis. 9 to 4 and 11 to 9. Wes Ferrell held the Browns well in check in the first game and Hudlin and Harder outlasted Stewart and Kimsey in the second contest. Detroit defeated Chicago. 8 to 4, in the other American League game. Art Herring holding the White Sox to nine well-scat-ter?d„hlts whlle his mates pounded Thomas and Caraway for twelve. National League competition was featured by the New York Giants’ advance to second place. The Giants passed the Chicago Cubs by scoring a double victory over Boston. 4 to 2 and 6 to 2. while the Cubs were dropping a 6-to-2 verdict to the league-leading St. Louis Cardinals. Paul Derringer held Chicago to ten hits in scoring his thirteenth victory of the season, but the victory was costly for the Cards with Jimmy Collins, rookie first baseman, breaking his ankle. The Injury probably will keep Collins out for the balance of the season. Brookiyn strengthened its hold on fourth place bv breaking even with Philadelphia, losing the first game, 5 to 2. and winning the second, 7 to 5.
Pitabureh defeated Cincinnati, 3 to 0. for the Pirates fourth consecutive shutout vietory. with Ervin Brame holding the Reds to five hits.

BY EDDIE ASH , Times Sport* EditoV Tom Angley’s sun-kissed single followed by Jonah Goldman's wellhit double in the last inning of the second game Sunday gave the Indians an even break in the afternoon double-header and an edge of two to one in the series with Casey Stengel's Hens. The fourth and final tilt of the set will be staged under the lights tonight and the Milwaukee Brewers will move in for a four-day series beginning Tuesday. Women and children will be admitted free tonight. Toledo massacred the Tribesmen in the initial Sabbath fray, 15 to 7, as the local hurlers collapsed, but the night cap was a thriller from the outset with V alter Miller and Rabb doing some high class chucking, the home nine winning 1 to 0, seven innings. The 6 o’clock Sunday law cut the fracas short two rounds. Two Indians had been retired in the seventh before the Hocsiers scored the lone marker of the contest.

Washington Park Chatter
Tom Anglev sprung" a painful boll over Saturday and was incapacitated for regular action on the Sabbath. Asa result his brother Georgia Cracker, Johnny Riddle, was compelled to catch both games despite the heat. These Georgia bovs will confess it becomes plenty hot in the Cracker state, but are quick to add the nights are cool. Just an old southern alibi. Gene Jones, the young hurler who finished the first game on the Tribe mound Sunday, tried out with the Indians in the spring of 1930. Since then he has been in the Three-I League. He was made eligible here when Frank Mulroney was returned to Reading of the International League. Jones worked out with the Hoosiers several days before a. place was made for him on the official roster. Bill Burwell took another light workout Sunday. He was cut down bv a siege of stomach trouble Just when he was going good. The v'eteran right-hander has missed three series, with Louisville. Columbus and Toledo. There’s a slight chance, however. Bill will try it tonight. The Hens had only three assists in the first tilt Sunday. The Indians retired themselves the maioritv of times bv the air route. Old Bruno Haas scintillated in left and gathered in six putouts. some on the hard run. In the ninth Inning of the opener Curt Walker batted for Jones and sent a straight up flv to the infield. The wind took charge of it and Walker got a hit as Wingard charged in and it fell far out of his reach. It was catcher Devormer’s plav. Toledo has three catchers. Kies. Devormer and Heniine. The last-named is the popular Butch from Ft. Wavne. who graduated from the Indians to the New York Giants alone about 1921. He was returned to the Hens bv the White Box only recently. When Bvo fel down in the Pinch in the sixth inning of Sunday’s second game he staged a lat-tcjsing act and tore up the turf. The Toledo slugger was held hitless bv Walter Mil.er.

neres the way that final session went to send 4,000 fans away in gleeful spirits: NarieSky flied out and Walker batted for Riddle and was tossed out by Knickerbocker. Angley batted for W. Miller and shortstop Mulleavy lost the sphere in the sun and it scooted through his legs for a single. Bedore ran for Angley and young Goldman stepped up and hit the first ball pitched to the left field corner, scoring Bedore with the victory run. Goldman as Leadoff Goldman turned in a perfect day against Rabb’s right-handed delivery, poling two hits, drawing one pass and sacrificing once. He also stole a base and was on the starting end of one double play. In the first conflict of the day he collected two blows, one a double, walked once and accepted six of seven chances. He was elevated to the lead-off position by Manager McCann and reciprocated in a big way. Walter Miller held the Hens to four hits as he shut them out, bringing his record as an Indian to seven victories against one defeat. It was a fancy mound duel between Miller and Rabb, the latter holding the Tribe to six safeties. The Indians threatened in the third round, but three were left stranded as the inning closed. In the sixth Miller was placed in a tough spot. Rabb singled as a starter and when Mostil bunted Miller grabbed the sphere and got Rabb at second. Mulleavy singled and Mostil pulled up at third. With Bevo Lebourveau, the .400 hitter, batting, Mulleavy stole second, Mostil holding third. Bevo Pops Out. The “table was set”; only one out, third and second occupied and Bevo swinging. Miller put the screws on, however, and caused Bevo to pop to Narlesky, Vnd Goldman raced into short center and captured Wingard’s fly. The curtain tilt Sunday was a runaway for the visitors. Cvengros couldn’t stop them. Russ Miller was slaughtered and young Gene Jones, up from the Three-I League, took a lacing. This contest was featured by the hitting of Ernie Wingard, Hen first sacker, who batted in five runs with two singles and a circuit drive that cleared the high right center field fence, the ball landing out among the hay fever weeds in the railroad yards.

If the Tribe lnflelders keep Emmett McCann doing the leg split to gather in their throws he'll be a candidate for an acrobatic stunt bv the time the season is over. He certainly put on the stretch several times Sunday. He made a great plav on Haas in the eighth inning of the first tilt and tossed to Jones for the out. Oscar Roettger. star first sacker of the League-leading Saints, sprained an ankle in Kansas City Sunday and will ba out of action for some time. Durst will fill In at the initial sack. He has had experience there. Blues and Apostles divided their double program. • Elmer Voter’s home run In the terth gave Columbus a victory bv 7 to 6 In the first tilt at Louisville Sunday. The Birds also won the second battle. 7 to 3. and Colonels and Indians were sharing second place today. Shortstop Tavener of Milwaukee collected seven hits in ten times up during his team's double bill with the Millers Sunday. His blows included a homer and two doubles. The bill was divided. First Baseman Davis of the local Atkins amateur league team took a workout with the Indians in practice Sunday. He looks good in the field and displays real flash in his movements. When Jonah Goldman walloped the game-winning double In Sunday's second tilt the fans “ran the bases" with Bedore. Fred took Anglev’s place on the paths and was on first as Goldman connected. He got under wav with full steam for he knew it was up to him to reach the plate and it was plain it would take “all he had.” Mostil chased the sphere but fortunately for the Indians the Hen left fielder was unable to retrieve the speeding pellet before it struck the fence and it took a couple of hops before he snared it. The fans screamed and “pulled" for Bedore to stretch his legs and he responded with a final dash and safe slide for the plate Just as the ball came In behind him. Mostil has a great throwing arm and the relay man also cut loose with a neat throw on the plav.
