28 i SPORTS. ' ZACHARY AND MOGRIDGE ARE TO FACE WHITE SOX Must Win Remaining Two- Chicago Battles to Quit West in First Division—Johnson, Russell and Martina All Blow Up Yesterday. : BY JOHN B. KELLER. HICAGO, June 17. C If the Nationals are to bag any games in this series with the White Sox they will have to look to their left- handed pitchers for them. Maybe Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary and George Rochester Mogridge may succeed where practically all of the right-handers of Manager Bucky Harris' hurling corps have faild. The orthodox flingers used here seem to be able to get the ball anywhere but over the plate. day, and yesterday Walter Johnson, just as poor. The 9-to-8 defeat yesterday in a Paul Zahniser showed a lamentable lack of control Sun- Allen Russell and Joe Martina were game the National's apparently had within their grasp twice makes victory in the two remaining engage- ments of the series necessary if the club would quit the west in fourth position in the American League standings. And winning two games in a row from the White Sox as they are fighting nowis not calculated to be anything easy. For six Innings. the second tilt of the series was a fine mound duel be- tween Johnson and Hollis Thurston, with the former holding the honors. Fach club had_scored in the first frame and the Nationals had gained a slight lead in the fourth, due mainly to Goose Goslin's home run hit into the right field bleachers. But hits had been few for either team and the way the pitchers were going along there promised to be a scarcity of blows during the remainder of the fray. Then suddenly semblance of control session and White Sox quicl the bases. Up came Harry Johnson lost all in the seventh jammed Hooper, who long has been “rank poison” to | Johnson, and the veteran's homer put the enemy well out in front. But Thur: ton also “blew,” and his successor, Ted Blankenship, had nothing to brag about. As a result, the Nationals scraped in five runs in the eighth and thought themselves on Easy street. Russell Also Blows up. But Russell, who had stopped the Sox in the seventh, emulated all the preceeding hurlers and went skyward in the Sox eighth. He made it easy for them to get the three tallies need- ed to deadlock the count, and Martina, not to be outdone in generosity, per- mitted the winning run to get away | from him Any chance the Nationals may have had to rally again were killed by George Connally. who hurled to them in the ninth frame. This Connally stopped the Harrismen just just nday afte a y let a game get away from them, and as he did in Wash- ington last month when he acted as a relief pitcher after his club had overcome a seemingly healthy Na tional lead. This husky Whife Sox hurler certainly appears to have the sign on Harris' crew. All told, the Nationals got ten hits and were handed two passes, while two batters were hit by Chicago box- men. But this amount of swatting and gift bases all went for Sweeney against eight safeties augmented by as many bases on balls charged against the trio of Washington moundsmen. Any chance the Harris- men had of winning was tossed into the grave dug by their pitchers. Errors figured in the early runs of both clubs, Ruel's miscue helping the White Sox in the first inning and Colling fumble making a run easy for the Nationals in the second. Then Harrig' single and Goslin's homer were bunched in the fourth to give the Nationals a brace of tallies. Barney Goes to Pieces. Johnson went to pieces in the seventh and walked Crouse and Thurston, the opposing batterymen. Archdeacon bunted safely to fill the bases. Collins fouled to Goslin, but Hooper crashed a circuit drive over the right field screen. Russell then ascended the hill and quieted the Sox for a time. Thurston and Blankenship were victims of National batsmen in the eighth. Russell began the inning with_a double to right, Rice walked and Matthews beat out a bunt, load- ing the bases. Blankenship went to the slab and hit Harris, forcing Russell home. Goslin singled Rice and Harris_across, and after Ruel popped to_ Falk in short left Prothro singled Goslin across. Peck also singled and Shirley walked, filling the sacks again, but Russell, up for the second time in the inning, let a third strike go by and Rice fouled to_Crouse. Russell apparently had nothing in the Cox eighth, nor did Martina re- veal any strength. Barrett began the Chicago rally with a walk, but Crouse popped to Peck. Mostil batted for Blankenship and scratched a single off Russell’s glove. Allen scrambled for the ball and as Mostil reached first threw wildly past Shirley. That put Barrett at third and Mostil at second. Archdeacon walked to first and Russell to the clubhouse. Collins'_ single off Martina sent Barrett and Mostil home, and Hooper’s retirement let Archdeacon count with the tying run. Sheely then poled a single to center, tallying Collins. ‘What followed made no difference. Martina is charged with the loss of the second encounter with the White Sox here. Russell left only enough Tuns on the paths to tie the score when he retired. The hit that put on Collins, who later made the winning run, was gleaned off Oyster Joe | Chicago, 9; Washiagton, 5.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY Manager Harris' original pitching schedule for’the remaining games of the White Sox series probably will be adhered to. Jez Zachary was ex- pected to face the locals this after- noon, while George Mogridge likely will toe the slab tomorrow. Falk fielded Ruel’s double in the second inning of yesterday’s game so fast that Goslin, running from first base, had to make a desperate slide into’ third to beat the outfielder's throw. That White Sox third inning was replete with brilliant plays by Peck. He made great stops and throws to retire Thurston, Collins and Hooper, and by a splendid effort held to a one-base hit Archdeacon's hard drive. Goslin's fourth homer on the pres- ent trip was a terrific drive that still had a deal of carry when it landed in the right-field bleachers. The Goose has socked circuit clouts in all of the western cities except Cleveland, get- ting one in Detroit and two in St. Louis. Prothro’s error in the fourth was a fumble of Kamm's easy pop that the Doc had camped under. The misplay amounted to nothing, for there were two out at the time and Barrett forced out Kamm. Prothro claims his bruised eve closes when he has to gaze upward more than a moment or two. Archdeacon streaked to first like a flash after laying down a bunt in the fifth frame, but his speed went for naught as the ball rolled foul a few inches. Then he returned to the bat- ter's box and crashed a double to left. Hooper's homer, that cleared filled bases in the seventh, was a slam that fell between the screen behind right field and the outer wall of Comiskey Park. Beth Matthews and Archdeacon showed plenty of speed in beating out bunts at critical moments. Arch- deacon’s safe tap_filled the bases in the seventh and Wid's did the same in the eighth. Shirley made a good play in hand- ling Hooper’s drive along the right- field line in the big White Sox eighth. The ball left Harry’s bat apparently ticketed a hit, but Mule made a one- hand stop to his left and retired the batter. Shirley had no chance to try for the fleet Archdeacon at the plate. EVEN PACE IS MAINTAINED BY RED SOX AND YANKS A LPHONSE and Gaston of comic supplement fame never were more deferential to cach other than are the Yankees and the Red Sox. Because they refused to be so ungentlemanly as to beat Cleveland while Detroit was trouncing Boston, New York today still is clinging to the top rung of the American League ladder. Bullet Joe Bush, who apparently does not believe in the “you first” code of etiquette, did his best for eight innings to help his road-weary teammates pull away to a two-game lead over their tenacious Fenway rivals by holding the Indians to three scattered hits, but in the ninth, with the assistance of Johnson’s error, he handed a 2-to-1 victory to Speaker’s tribe. Coveleskie pitched a strong game for Cleveland, keeging the Yanks’ eight bingles thinly interspersed. Babe Ruth was passed t! times. Detroit climbed to within a few Ppoints of second place by scoring a shutout over the slugging Red Sox, 3 to 0. Lil Stoner, who never per- mitted Fohl's men to become unduly familiar with his slants, let his_op- ponents down with six hits. BeSton fumbled its only chance to break up the game in the eighth, when Todt grounded out with the bases full, The Browns moved up to fifth place by pounding out a 10-to-2 win over the Athletics. Collins took the heart out of Connie Mack's charges in the seventh when he combed Burns for a homer with three on. Lyons helped win his own game with a single and a double. Ruthlessly trampling on the help- less Cardinals to the tune of 7 to 2, While the Cubs dropped the opener 1o the lowly Phillles, the Giants wid- ened the breach between themselves and the Windy City aggregation to a2 game,and a half. It was the Glants' first victory of the season over Hornsby and company, who took four straight from the league leaders in_ the Mount city last month. “Hack” Wilson, Southworth's sensa- tional young understudy, slammed out a triple and two singles, drew a base on balls, scored two runs and drove in two more. Nehf pitched a strong game for the McGrawites. Alexander had to take to cover under a heavy bombardment of Phil- - adelphia hits in the secand inning of the Cub-Philly tussie and his team- ree mates were eventually overwhelmed, 8 to 3. A running catch by Cy Wil- liams in the eighth featured. Unable to do anything with Jess Barnes' offerings, Pittsburgh lost a 9-to-4 decision to the Braves. Boston hit Cooper and Stone at wil. In the fifth MclInnis tripled with the bases full and Tierney followed with a homer. Brooklyn continued its winning ways with a 5-to-2 triumph over Cin- cinnati. Stock, Griffith and Taylor helped Grimes out of several tight places with sensational support. Har- grave caught his first game for the Reds since he broke his hand in May. PIRATES RELEASE PAIR TO GET INSIDE 25 LIMIT PITTSBURGH, June 17.—Dan Alley, catcher and infielder of the :Pirates. has been released under option to the Pittsfield team of the Eastern League. It also was announced that George Haas, outfielder, earlier In the season farmed out to the Qklahoma City team, had been transferred to Pittsfield. With the releasing of Alley and the sending of Delmar Lundgren, pitcher, to the Birming- ham club of the Southern lon last Saturday, the Pirate roster now is 'at the limit of twenty-five players.

The hardest-hit ball is always hit with a swing that in devold of up- per-bedy push. The reason this the body-push shot Is a “stiff” shot and results more or less In a “stifi” ball. Also the very effort of pushing the upper body into the down swing of the club causes the body muscles to become rigid, ftity is bad. You do mot press the club forward with the upper-body museles, but with the finger, hand forearm muscles—the sensitive museles. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.)

TO WARD “Honey Boy” Finnegan, feather- weight champion of the United States Navy and Army, found easy picking in “Chick” Ward of Baltimore in their scheduled twelve-round bout at Kenilworth arena last night. Finne- gan won in the first round. After two minutes of fighting, Ward started a haymaker from the | floor, but it never landed. Then, quick as a flash, the former Navy lad stepped in with a solid left hook to the solar plexus. Ward went down like a lump or lgad, and it took sev- eral minutes before his handlers could revive him. The semi-final was a slashing bout between “Nick"” Brown, a tough ban- tamweight from Baltimore, and Terry O'Day of the Mohawk Athletic Club. The boys fought every second of the way. Brown proved much faster than O'Day, in addifion to packing a real | kick, and the decision in his favor | was deserved. Willie Ptomey of Fort Myer failed in his “com ack” against Kid Shat- tuck of redericksburg. Several weeks ago Shattuck K. 0.'d the Army lad at Kenilworth, and he repeated the dose last night in the second | round.

Berwyn, Md The sdldier has pointed the way to Al Ward and Jack Renzo, but Eg- gleston, who packs a wallop in either hand, believes he can show Marriott something about the art of slugging. Tex Stovall, another Mohawk bat- tler, will exchange swats with Jimmy Brock of Baltimore in an eight-round semi-final. Another good bout is ex- pected when George Leslie of Camp Moade faces Louis Guglimini in a six-round affair. Young Toney of the City Club will tackle Reddy Tendler of Baltimore in the opening four-round bout. MONROE TEAM ON ROAD TO CITY CHAMPIONSHIP Monroe School, winner of the Dis- trict playground graded school track has a fine chance of annexing the base ball championship. With a 5-to-4 victory over the Lenox tossers tucked away, Monroe was to tackle the same team again today at 3:30 o'clock on the Plaza playgrounds, A victory for Monroe would give it the diamond award. The count was tied, 4 to 4, in the eighth inning of yesterday's game, but Monroe pushed across its win- ning marker in the next session.
