Vt i jif- " - I By Gajie Talbot, (Awocl&ted Press Sports Writer.) Winners of their last six games, the best spurt they have made since the first month of the race, the Washington Senators seem to be get ting along very nicely without their leading hitter, Carl Reynolds. Dave Harris, who stepped Into Reynolds'. right field berth after the Utter' Jaw was broken by "One Punch" Dickey of the Yankees on Independence day, ha been playing a lot of baseball and has had i prominent part In the present win nlng streak. He and Joe Kuhel, who Is filling In for Joe Judge at first base, are doing so well, In fact, that It will bo difficult for Walt Johnson to send them back to the bench when the ailing regulars return. Harris' Homer Helps, Harris hit a home-run with one aboard and Kuhel scored a run yes terday to give the Senators a 5 to 4 verdict over St. Louis in 13 Innings. It was only the second victory for Washington In nine bouts with the Browns this season, Indicating they are doing at least as well as usual, Cleveland's Indians, meantime, went right on with their campaign against the easts "big three," cluo blng the Yankees Into submission, 11 to 3, In the opener at the stadium. That made It five straight for the tribe and 11 out of Its last 14 games. Foxx Gets No. 35, Jimmle Foxx banged No. 35 with two on feftse to help the Athletics defeat Detroit, 9 to 2. His blow was the high spot of a seven-run upris ing In the seventh Inning. The Boston Red Sox were stopped short of their goal, a three-game winning streak, when the White Sox nosed them out, 9 to 8, In 11 innings. Bill Swift pointed out an other good reason for Pittsburgh's leader ship of the National league .len he set the Boston Braves down, S to 1 The rookies gave up only four hits and allowed but one runner to reach third In registering his sixth straight Win. The Chicago Cubs remained two games back by beating the Brook - lyna, 4 to 1. behind Guy Bush. The Cardinals' run of four straight wins was ended when the Giants piled Into Dizzy Dean In two Innings to win, 6 to 3. Chick Hafey returned to the Cin cinnati lineup, but his presence fail ed to impress the Phils, who slug ged Carroll and Ogden for an It to 6 victory. HOW THEY STAND By the Associated Tress. COOSt. W.

ALTO, Cal., July 15. (;p) Out here in the , beautiful Santa Clara valley, where athletic speed and brawn are among the prime products, America balled the roll today of her greatest battalion of track and field warriors for the purpose of picking the Olympic team. Upon the outcome of these try outs, Including preliminaries today and finals tomorrow, will depend the makeup of shock troops to carry the nation's shield Into atlon In the tenth Olympiad at Los Angeles two weeks hence. Most of the main arguments. In cluding the Bill Carr-Ben Eastman duel In the 400 meters and the fight of at least a dozen sprint aces for the six most coveted places In the dash lineup, will not be settled until Saturday, The extraordinary class of the field In almost every event has had critics all tangled up in arguments for days, centering around such "naturals" as the Eastman-Carr affair, the sprint rivalry among T'pplno, Wykoff, Met calfe and Tolan, the challenge of 1,500-meter runners to Gene Venzke, the shotput duel between Brlx and Sexton, and. the high hurdles test among Sallng, Beard and Keller, all world record smashers. Ralph Hill, the Oregon collegian, who set an American outdoor mile record of 4.12 2-8 in 1930, was an outstanding candidate In the 5000 meter run.

After answering two questions put to him by the assistant state's at torney concerning the shooting in which Miss Violet Popovlch Valll wounded him twice and herself once, Jurges suddenly halted In 'the midst of a sentence with: "I have no desire to testify." "Do you think you will have no more trouble?" asked Judge John Sbarboro. No, I wish to drop this case," Jurges replied. Then the case la dismissed for want of prosecution," ruled the Judge. "And let's hope that no more ball players are shot." Questioned as to her plans. Miss Valll, a striking brunette dressed in fashionable white crepe dress. said: 'After what's happened, I feel I owe It to my self-respect' to con sider the entire matter a thing of the past." Miss Valll, a divorcee, entered Jur ges' room at the Carlos hotel, adja cent to Wrigley field, on the morn ing of July 6. After making an other vain bid for Jurges' love, she took a .33 caliber revolver from her hand bag and started to shoot. In the struggle for the gun, Jurges was shot In the right side and left hand. Miss Valll was wounded In the left hand, but none of the wounds was serious. Jurges has recovered sufficiently to don a uniform again and work out with the Cubs during the past two days.
