CHICAGO, May 9.—Stanislaus to five bingles and one run while his ‘mates were pounding Charley Robert- esult of their triumph in this second e world champions now are in second and just as far ahead of. the third- son for a quartet of tallies. As a r set-to of the series with the hose, th place a.game behind the Athletics place Indians. Covey more than justified the Harris, followis in his earlier efforts this season. the somewhat disappoin ¥ v Coveleskie came. into his own today. After three starts and as many failures to go the route he pitched, in superb style this afternoon, holding the ambitions, White Sox 'in him by Bucky g showing made by the Pole confidence reposed He had his spitball working‘ to perfec- tion and mixed it up judiciously with hooks and speed. .On ly 15 Sox faced him in the first five rounds and aside from their orie scoring ses- sion the Collinsites were unable to evolve more than a single safety in any inning, while he passed but two men The damp ball exponedt was ac- corded bang-up support by his mates both with an errorless defense and with an attack in which Bluege and Goslin distinguished, themselves by poling home runs. Griffs Start Early. The Harris duo functioned to get the Griffmen away to a one-run lead at the outset of hostilities. 'Stan wait- ed to walk on Robertson after Rice had lofted, and the manager com- ploted his journey around the bases when Joe walloped to right. center for 4Wo sacks. Moop moved to the far ‘corner on Geslin's tap to the box, and was left when Judge rolled to Sheely. Davis -contributed the -_opening wedge for another Washingtdn mark- er in the second when his throw of | & Bluege’s offering drew Sheely off base. Ossie moved up on Peck's sacrifice, took third on Ruel's single to Davis in deep short and reached the count- ing block after Barrett got under Coveleskie's fly. Ruel moved up a notch on the throw and was wild pitched to third, where he was left when Collins made a fine play -on Rice’s roller. Stan Harris attained to the far cor- ner on his single, theft and an out in the third, only fo be left by Judge, and Coveleskie fanned in the mnext X session with Peck roosting on second by virtue of his single and a retire- ment. But a third Washington run accrued in the sixth, Bluege attending to the job without any assistance through ~ the simple expedient . of whaling a circuit_clout into the left- fleld bleachers. Peck followed with a safety and went to third on Davis’ wild throw of Ruel’s single, and again Covey took a_third strike. Sox ‘Score in Seventh. Until the seventh separated singles by Davis and Robertson were the ex- tent of the damage done by the Sox to Covey's delivery, but in this frame they. mustered sufficient ammunition to hove a tally over. Davis led with a bingle, moved up on Covey's first pass of the' pastime, reccived Ly Falk after Collins_and Sheely died. and scored when Barrett lined a safety to center.

Bluege's safety, which followed, led to nothing. as did a single in the ninth by Rice, who was marooned at the midway, following Stan Harris' sacrifice, when Joe Harris rolled to Davis. Covey walked Spencer Harris, hit- tingfor Robertson in the eighth, but he immediately was forced by Mostilx and Sheely got no farther than the midway after donnecting for a single in the finai frame. Dutch Ruether Slated to Slab ° Today in Third Chicago Clash viable reputation as a hitter, C start of the season on the slab for \ HICAGO, May 9—Walter Ructher, who rapidly is earning an. en- in addition to giving promise of be- coming Washington’s leading pitcher, is due to make his fourth the Griffmen tomorrow. Datch to date has victories over the Yankees and Red Sox to his: credit to offset a reverse cncountered from the Hugmen and is way out in front of his mates as a batsman. It was considered probable Ruether would be opposed by Urban Red aber, and the prospect is that if good. weather prevails a crowd rival- /ing the record 44.000 that turned out here two weeks ago will be in attend- ance. Goslin's round-tripper today marked his emergence from a slump that had limited him to one hit in §2 times at bat in the last several games. Judge, who has an equally meager period recently, isyet to snap out of it. Bucky was well satisfied with the results attained by his line-up shift today. Joe Harris came through with a productive double his first time up and took adequate care of the only three chances he had in the field. Collins earned a fine hand in the second, when he ran toward the feul line and knocked down Rice’s rap and threw him out. This effort cut off a Washington run, as Ruel was on third at the time. Falk turned in one of those onge-in- a-segson plays at the expense of Stan arrls in the fifth.

MORE PUNCH IS EXPECTED WITH JOE HARRIS N LEFT Memmt of Champions Believes Recent Transfer From Red Sox Speedy Enough forlRegular i Use, But Move Is Subject to Change. BY DENMAN C ‘THOMPSON. HICAGO, May 9.—Convinced by the tremendous wallop Joe Harris delivered when called on to pinch hit yesterday that he is over- looking a bet in confining the veteran to emergency work o Manager Stanley Harris today announced a revolutionary change in the line-up of the world champions. Hereafter, according to Bucky, the veteran recently ,obtained from the Red Sox in exchange for Zahniser; Carlyle and cash, will hold forth in left field for the Nationals, with Goose Goslin shifted over to patrol the, middle garden. This means_that Nemo Leibold and Earl McNeely instead of alter nating in the center pasture according to whether a left or right hand pitcher is opposing, will join Wid Matthews to compose the fly-chasing reserve of the club. This move by the youthful helmsman must be regarded in the nature of an experiment and will be subject to change if the results attained fall short of expectations, but the pilot is sanguine the club will be strengthened thereby and mo “ifs” or “buts” accompanied the mandate as issued by him.

HARVARD CREW IS FIRST .

A broken oarlock in the Pennsylvania shell helped the Crimson in avenging their defeat at the hands of the Blue and Red in last year's regatta.

Fears No Loss of Speed. Stan stoutly maintained he felt no apprehension that Joe's slowness of foot would materially handicap the club on defense and asserted Moon is ‘well qualified by the experience he ob- tained in Boston to play the sun fleld, which is in left at most of the parks in the. American League cir- cuit, and is a particularly arduous a signment in Washington, where Old Sol must be contended with through almost the entir¢ season. Little doubt is felt over the ability of Goslin to adequately patrol the greater expanses of the middle garden. Although presenting a sad sight on defense when he joined the Griffmen five seasons back, Leon’s fielding has fully kept pace with his improvement in attack. The Goose now can go and get ‘em with the best in the business, while his whip is unexcelled for power and accuracy, not barring even that possessed by Bob Meusel of the Yanks. Needless .to say, Sam Rice will be left undisturbed as the guardian ef right field. How the new deal eventually will ‘work out remains to be seen. There is no question that considerable power on offense will be added by ‘having Joe Harris coming up on an average of four or five times each game in the clean-up positiorm, in- stead of either Leibold or McNeely leading off, but whether Moon's superior slugging will more than off - set his woeful deficiencles.in_the mat- ter of speed afield and on the bases is the big question’ Davis Helping White Sox. __Next to Eddie Collins himself there is no individual entitled to more credit for the startling rejuvenation of the White Sox this year than the diminutive Ike Davis, who Washing- ton fans will recall as having re- ceived a trial with the Griffmen some five years or so back. At that time Davis, hardly more than a boy and only recently finished doing his bit as a cook attached to one of the units stationed at the Mare Island navy yard, near San Francisco, was too lacking in polish to be serfously considered as major-league timber, but he has traveled around in the minors considerably since then and now gives promise of ultimately at- taining stardom. Since Risberg and Weaver went their inglorious ways the Hose have used Ernie Johnson and Hervy Mec- Clellan in the short field and neithers filled the bill. It'is possible, of course, that, Davis will not, either, as the campalign is yet young, but to date he ‘has been playing sensationally. Ike displays plenty of speed going either way and has the “good pair of hands” essential to a high-grade in- flelder, a strong arm and aggressive- ness aplenty. Being small of stature he isa hard mark to pitch to, is clever at bunting anq hits a ball hard. ‘With the incomparable Collins work ing along side of him, Davis rounds out one of the most competent inner. quartets in the circuit flanked as they are by the thoroughly efficlent Willie Kamm at third and the dependable Earl Sheely at first. The latter, while far from being the fastest first sacker in the game,is a fine ficlder, possesses @ good head and is about the best throwing target in the league; in addi tion to being a. feared batsman. Only Added Starter. David may be considered about the only added starter to the dispirited aggregation willed to Collins by Johnny Evers, under whom the Sox last, year finished, in the cellar, unless it be Spencer Harris, the wiliowy kid from the mint league, who has seen considerable service against right-hand pitchers and who has been alternating with Bill Barrett in right field until: such time as the veteran Harry Hoop- er sufficiently recovers from an opera-.: tion for the removal of a biood clot in his leg.
