Senior Leaguers Concentrating on Mound Staff in Effort to Break Jinx, Grayson Points Out.

OSTON, July 2.—Pitching is 75 per cent of baseball, which is why the Nationals must be given an edge over the Americans in the 1936 edition of the majors’ all-star game at National League park here Tuesday. With a different attitude toward the contest after three consecutive defeats, the Nationals plan to have their five [finest flingers ready. As though the fans did not give him a sufficient advantage in electing Dizzy Dean, Hubbell, Mungo, and Warneke, Manager Grimm made it certain that there would be no shortage of pitching effectiveness by adding the right-hander who came to the rescue of his Chicago
Cubs, Curtis Davis.
While the Americans’ chucking corps sounds impressive, it does not at this time compare with the blow em down boys named to churn
for the elder wheel. Bob Grove is to open for the junfor leaguers against Dean. Lefty came back like a bad check in 1935 and launched the current campaign auspiciously, but has been little more than a big name recently.

ERNON GO- : MEZ did not permit the Na- i tionals to become frisky in Cleveland a year ago, and Mel Harder was equally efficient when he stepped in for the last three rounds. But Gomez, who started all three previous all-star engagements, hasn’t had toe much luck this season, either in the sunlight or moonlight, what with the truant officers trailing him and one thing or| another. Harder hasn't been nearly as handy with the handcuffs as he has in the past. Schoolboy Rowe’s arm has been a mystery running to extremes. While Monte Pearson already has won more games for the Yankees than he hagged for the Indians during the entire 1935 season, the Californian remains a very definite risk in an important assignment. With Gomez having yet to demonstrate that he packs all of his former wizardry, little Tommy Bridges, rated off his present form, is the best money pitcher at the beck and call of Manager McCarthy, who so wisely chose him,
With Gabby Harinett catching the entire game, as Charley Grimm says he will, the Nationals have the jump back of the plate, too. The chances are that McCarthy will employ Bill Dickey for no more than three innings, inasmuch as the tall Yankee receiver is so susceptible to injury. MeCarthy, acting for the incapacitated Mickey Cochrane, drafted Rick Ferrell to work with Grove, and also has Rolly Hemsley, who took care of the complete chore a J Year ago, but who this season has had his old trouble with discipline. | The Nationals require this superiority in pitching and catching, for their team batting average is approximately .307 against .334 for the Americans. ” 2 »
OUNG Stuart Martin and Joe Medwick of the Cardinals are the only Nationals with batting marks comparable to those of the members of the murderers’ row assembled by the American League— Gehrig, Radcliff, Di Maggio, Appling, Gehringer, Foxx and Averill. With Foxx again likely to play third base, the Americans’ infield will be the smoother defensively, if anything, and pack Vastly more power, with Gehrig at first, Gehringer at second, and Appling and Crosettl at shortstop.
” ” 2
RIMM'S outfit is none too strong at third base, with Pinky Whitney, who is back with the Phils, and Lew Riggs of the Reds. Jimmy Collins will play first, and Billy Herman and Stuart Martin second. Leo Durocher should get the call at shortstop. Durocher is hitting .317 against the .287 of Arky Vaughan, who can not begin to field with the Cardinal captain.
LJ # n
Even if he employs Chapman, Averill and Di Maggio throughout, McCarthy's outfield will not be as strong defensively as that of the Nationals, who have a remarkable collection of retrievers in Med wick, Demaree, Berger, Ott, Joe Moore and Galan. Radcliff and Selkirk of the Americans are comparatively poor workmen in the gardens,

Ahhh hee
Hens go into their series finale tonight with the Hens gunning for consecutive victories No. 8 and 9 and the Redskins wondering desperately how to outwit their old bogeyman, Late-Inning Jinx. Two tilts are to be played tonight. One is the playoff of a game postponed on May 18. Starting at 8:15 (7:15 Indianapolis time), a regular nine-inning game is to be played, followed by a seven-in-ning contest. The Hens captured No. 2 in a row of the current series last night when they tallied four times in the seventh inning to edge out the Hoosiers, 4 to 3. Once again the Indians’ late-inning hoodoo sent them tumbling after they had made a courageous climb into a contending position. This time they dropped from third to fifth.
Tribe Gets 15 Hits
* The Tribesters got to Sullivan for 15 hits while Bolen gave the locals only seven, but the Hens bunched their blows effectively in that Sash ing seventh. Both pitchers breezed along “in shut-out style until the sixth when the Indians touched the Toledo moundsman for one run. Seibert tripled and trotted home on Berger's sizzling double through first base. Davis tripled to left to start the Hens off in the seventh, and Linton singled him home.. Parker. flied to Berger, but Tresh singled and Linton stopped at second. Sullivan popped to Sherlock to make it two down. Then Kit Carson came through with his only hit of the night, a triple, and. two more runs crossed the platter. Vincent smacked one down thifid /basé ways bit Fausett bungled the stop and Carson scored. The side was retired when English flew to right.
Almost—Almost
The Hoosiers fell one run short of staging a comeback in the ninth. Jake Flowers, pinch-hitting for Bolen, and Sherlock got successive singles. Fausett forced Sherlock, Vincent to Parker, but Parker, at-
tempting to catch Fausett at first, made a wild throw, allowing Flowers to score and Fausett to reach second. Eckhardt rapped out a single. Fausett stopped at third, then sprinted home when Shiver forced Eckhardt at second. Sullivan settled down and forced Seibert to strike out.
and Fausett, the Tribesters left 11 men stranded on the paths. Freddie Berger got a triple, double and single in four times up. ;
” ” ” I{’s going to be another of those super-mammoth week-ends for the Indianapolis crew. The Killefer men are to play a pair of double-headers over Saturday and Sunday at Louisville; two afternoon games on Fireworks Day, and two more on the following afternoon. Tomorrow's scheduled game with the Colonels will be moved up to comprise Sunday's twin bill, giving the Indians a short breathing Spell.
Hubert Bates, Tribe outfielder aequired from Montreal in the Mickey Heath deal, broke into the lineup last night, but his duties were short and not so sweet. He was sent in to run for Shiver on first base in the ninth, but expired on the spot when Siebert struck out to end the ball game.
KINGANS MIX WITH A. B. C. CLUB. TONIGHT
The Kingan Reliables will stack up against the strong A. B. C. Negro nine of the Indiana-Ohio League tonight at Perry stadium. Kingan’s club has been setting up
foe for the leaguers. Manager Reb Russell will send Hosler to the mound with Allison behind the plate. “Rosey” Williams is expected to do the chucking for the A. B. Cs.
