June 29.— Nashville fans already are predict- ing that the ivbry hunters will be giving the Nashville, pitcher, “’I‘iny"‘ James Chaplin, more than a cursory once over.

His pitching average is .593 for the period. |ORAL HILDEBRAND'S GREAT HURLING KEEPS CLEVELAND INDIANS IN RACE \ Two of the chining lights in Cleveland’s brilliant first-month fight for the American League flag were Oral Hildebrand, big right- hander ‘from: Butler University, and Bill Knickerbocker, upper left, the sweet-fielding rookie shortstop from Toledo. Hildebrand started with five straight victories, including thres shutouts. By C. C. Ckan/ER CLEVELAND, O. June 29. — Good pitching and spectacular fielding explain why the Cleveland Indians are putting up a fight for | first place in the American League. The club that has been noted in seasons past for its dangerous tendency to break out in a rash of extra base hits, and at the same time for its loose fielding, has been submerged in the batting averages cellar so far this season and stick- ing around top position in field- ing. . While some of the hitters have been coming out of their slump, only three so far are batting above .300, and Joe Vosmik, the demon fly-chaser, had an average of un- der .150 after the first month. And _ pitching—about the most interesting phenomenon in the | Tribes’ piay to date has been the | threatened displacement of Wesley Ferrell as the club’s ace hurler by | the newcomer, Oral Hildebrand. hed a One-Hitter as the natty ex-collegian is called, boasted five straight vic- tories and no defeats as the team started on its first eastern invas- ion. Three of -his victories were white-washes and one of them the result of pitching that yielded a meagre single. Altogether, 11 runs were scored and 29 hits made off him in his first seven starts. Tallest man on the squad-—six feet, three—Hildebrand came to the Indians after only four ‘months in organized baseball after leaving Butler university, Indianapolis. Rated a starting pitcher by mid- season last year, he won eight and Jost six.

Robert Moses Grove, who at one recent stretch appeared as re- lief pitcher in nine out of eleven successive games for the Athletics. “Where do you get that stuff about Grove being such an iron man?’ asks the old-timer. ‘No doubt he is as tough as they come nowadays, but' what he has been doing is child’s play by compari- ina by men like Radbourne, Walsh, Chesbro, Spalding, Johnson, Mc- Ginnity and others. “The real measure of a pitcher’s endurance is in the complete games he pitches, Get that one—COM- PLETE GAMES—not two or three innings a day. “Why, man, that Old Hoss, Rad- bourne, once pitched 22 consecu- |tive COMPLETE GAMES for the Providence team of the old Na- tional League. That was in 1884. Nine years before that A. G. Spald- ing pitched in 39 consecutive games for the Boston club of the National Association. He was in the box right along from the latter part of May until the end of July. Iron Man Grove? Don’t make me laugh. Jchnson a Work Horse “Even in the so-called modern ranks, pitchers like Walsh and Joinson outdid anything Grove has gchieved to date for real en- durance. Walsh pitched in 66 games in 1908 with the White Sox. John- son ‘was a work horse and demon- strated it on that one celebrated stretch where he beat New York three times in a row—Friday, Sat- urday and Monday—all complete games. “The record for complete games pitched is 48 by Jack Chesbro, made in 1904 with the Highland- ers, forerunners of the Yankees, The, record for games finished, 47, is held by Firpo Fred Marberry, with Washington in 1926. Subse- quently, reversing the present Grove process, Marberry was made a starting pitcher and sold this past winter to Detroit.” The Yankees dropped five of their first eight games to Wash- ington and captured the first eight iin a row against the Athletics, but— The Yankees still think the A's are a more dangerous challenger for the championship than the ‘Washington outfit. “How do you figure that one?” 1 asked Joe McCarthy and Babe Ruth in a recent joint session. “Well,” said Marse Joe, “Wash- ington doesn’t go so well against the ‘rest of the league. They work up a lather against us, apparently, but then it wears off.” “Yeah,” injected the Babe, “and Chicago 3¢ 34 500 Cleveland .34 35 4931 Detroit .32 36 471 Boston i 29 40 420 St. Louis .. .. 24 45 343 Juneau City League ’ (8econd Half) Won Lost Pct | Elks ... 3.0 1,000 American Legion s 500 Moose 0 3 000 1 is a baffling change of pace, ar head-work.
