‘1‘ THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, MAY 31 1925—SPORTS SECTION. Harris Expects Indians to Take a Slump : Pirates Most Feared by Giants’ Boss DEEMING IS WINNER |McGRAW ALSO RESPECTS OF KENTUCKY 0AKS| STRENGTH OF THE ROBINS SPEAKER IS GIVEN CREDIT FOR INSPIRING LEADERSHIP Bucky Believes Tribe Has Played Above Its Normal Speed This Spring and Will Not Be a Pennant Contender at the Finish. BY STANLEY (BUCKY) HARRIS, Manager and Second Baseman, World Champion Washington Club. RIS SPEAKER has his Cleveland Indiags well up in the race at the But T don't look for the Tribe to prove dangerous in the final drive for the pennant. The Indians strike me as having played a bit over their normal gait in the early stages of the race. 1 can't see where they are of pennant-winning caliber, but they will prove troublesome to the best clubs in the league so long as théy keep hustling as they have from the season’s start. 2 Speaker has the Indians playing great base ball. He is an inspiring leader, and the present standing of the club shows his ability ‘to get Tt must be remembered that Tris has prac- tically the same club which had a bad season last year and ended the American League campaign in sixth place. The Indians are playing better ball season. present time. 1 work out of ball players. than was the case last Speaker has them on their toes every minute and if he can keep them on the jump throughout the campaign his club will wind up with a better standing than last year. The Tribe has had some first-class pitching in the early season and this accounts, in a large measure, for its good showing. The return to form of Uhle must be most gratifying to Speaker. George seems back to the form which made him one of the best pitchers in the Jeague in 1922 and 1923. He showed me plenty of stuff when we were in Cleveland recently. When Uhle is going good he is a hard man to beat as his 1922 and 1923 records show. He won 22 games in 1922 and two years ago won 26 to take his rank as a really great twirler. He was charged with 16 defeats each of these years. Uhle Off Form Last Year. Uhle was sadly off form last sea- son. Much of the trouble of the Tribesman can be blamed upon his inability to reach real winning form. | vie- | He was credited with only 9 tories and charged with 15 defeats. He seems destined to do as well this vear as he did two and three sea- sons ago. That will be of a lot of help to Tris The Indlans obtained a winning pitcher in Karr. The former Atlanta twirler got off to a great start by running up a string of victories that attracted attention throughout the league. He pitches in a confident manner, due no doubt to his fine su cess, and he should prove most val- uable to the Tribe. Spurgeon, Cleveland’s young third baseman, has been touted to me as a coming star. I'm sorry we didn't see much of him in action when we played the Indians. The box scores would indicate that he i{s a very bright prospect. Good judges have told me he can field and hit. The combination ought to help him make good in the majors. Spurgeon’s Record Convincing. While I saw the voungster in action for only one inning his record seems enough to convince me that he is a corking good third baseman. If it didn’t, the fact that Speaker benched Lautzke in favor of Spurgeon would be enough to stamp the youngster as a brilliant inflelder in my mind. Lutzke is by no means a bad third baseman. Several big league clubs would be mighty glad to have him. Speaker is playing just as brilliantly as ever before in his long and useful base ball career. He is hitting at a -400 clip, covering his usual great amount of territory in the outfleld and directing his club’s winning tactics. There are mighty few smarter base ball men than the Cleveland leader. Tris is one of the most remarkable men in the history of the national pastime. He is on his eighteenth sea- son in the big leagues and doesn't appear to have gone back a bit. It is most a certainty that he will again t in the .300 class. He has been out of that division only two seasons in his major league career. He hit a bit over .200 when he broke in with the Red Sox late in the 1908 campaign and had an average of .296 in 1919. Spoke a Credit to Game. Speaker seems to have several more years as a big league star ahead of him. He has seen many a player come and go since he first broke in with the Red Sox. Tris knows how to take care of himself and is alway in fine condition. He has been a great credit to the game and has done much to_popularize it. There isn't a club in either league but what would pay a record price to obtain a player of Speaker's ability, The veteran doesn't seem to age in hitting, fielding or spirit. He is the Diggest asset the Cleveland club has He can be depended upon to get the hest out of the Indians. He will keep them prominent in the race as long as such a feat is possible. But even granting that the Indians have improved over last vear, conces ing Speaker's great ability as a player and manager and allowing for a better brand of pitching, 1 can't see where the Cleveland club will be fighting it out along in September.

MOUNT RAINIER IS LOSER IN TILT WITH PETWORTH Petworth tessers yesterday defeated the Mount Rainier Athletic Club nine, 3 to 2, in the deciding contest of a three-game series. \Kines pitched great ball for the winners and held the Mounts scor less after the opening frame.

By virtue of triumphs over the highly touted F, H. Smith nine, the teams representing District and Met- ropolitan National banks are looming as the dark horses of the race. A- Spalding trophy has been pre- sented the league by Cy MacDonald, manager of the firm's-local branch, and an invitation to meet the winner of the Baltimore bankers' circuit for the intercity - champlonship at the clogse of the season has given added impetus to the series. \ Rigge National Bank 1 Commercial National Bank. .

Clark is to pitch for the Mohawks today when the Kmickerbocker team at ISHING in the Tidal Basin was F fish to be taken. 4 inches in length. must be replaced in the water with Originally it was planned to start fishing in the Basin on June 1, but when Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, di- tor of public buildings and parks of the National Capital, was informed that the fishing laws of the District of Columbia permitted fishing in the District’s waters on May 30, to en able a large number of local anglers to indulge In thelr favorite sport on this holiday, he readily consented to open the Tidal Basin. The fish recently placed in the Basin were all adult fish, consisting of some 300 bass, crappie and sun fish. These fish were planted in April In order to take advantage of thelr spawning. When the fish racks | or screens are in place a great many more will be planted, and next Fail the Fish Comtfission will have ship ped to Washington several carloads of fish to be placed in the Basin. There is only one drawback to the proposition of stocking the Basin with game fish, and that is that the anglers of this city, numbering thou sands, have met come forward with contributions. The fund for prepar- ing the Basin for fishing. is over $400 short, and_has been running several months. Perhaps some anglers do not care to fish jn the Basin, don | consider it has the proper surround ings, or perhaps they do not like not being allowed to fish from a boat. 1f these fishermen will only take into consideration the fact that the Tidal Basin will be a breeding for the big-mouth bass of Potomac around Washing. ton, and that at stated periods the gates of the Basin will be opened to permit a certain number of bass to escape into the river, where the par- ticular anglers can fish from a boat and get the surroundings they desire, this column feels confident that they will be only too glad to send in their contributions. The screens will be placed in position by the end of June, and the fishing population of Wash- irgton should make it a point to see that this fund is fully subscribed by that time. The cost of the screens and plac- ing_them in the water will cost up to $2,000. Of this sum the public is only asked to subscribe $1.000, the Joint Welfare Service contributing the other $1,000. The public sub. scription has just reached a little cver the halfway mark, and those Wwho have not done so are earnestly requested to send in their contribu- tions to complete this fund before the work at the Basin has been com- pleted. - ‘W. M. Mooney, Postmaster of Wash- ington, accompanied by Mrs. Mooney, went on a fishing trip last week to Cobbs Island. on the Eastern shore of Virginia, where they were the guests of Col. and Mrs. Truxtum at their “water” cottages, Walk Inn. Col. Truxton has erected seven cot tages built on piles, and at high tide ihe place somewhat resembles a light- house keeper’s home, the foundations being entirely under water. One of the cottages is used as a kitchen, one as a dining room, and the others are bedrooms. During the high tide there is nothing about but a broad expense of water. On the marshes at low tide can be seen the oyster and clam beds, which make .wonderful feeding grounds for the drum and channel bass, which come in with the tide rooting for the clams and mussels, Mr. Mooney said in describing the place. The largest fish landed by Mr. Mooney was a channel bass weighing 55 pounds, and the others ranged from 40 to 50 pounds. He sald it took from one hour to one hour and a half to land each of these big fellows, and the bait used was clams and hard crabs. Mr. Mooney said this was a won- derfui place for the weakfish or trout at this time of the vear and that while he was busy landing the big fellows, Mrs. Mooney and Mrs. Truxton were equally as busy landing trout weigh- ing anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds. He said that on a rising tide one can stand on the shore and catch them as they chase the small whitebalt up into the marshes, using shiners as bait. He said he also saw thousands of shore birds feeding on the marshes, “There will be wonderful shooting down there during the Fall season and yours truly will be'on hand,” he remarked as he finished recounting the pleasures of his fishing trip to Cobbs Island. Cobbs Island was a favorite fishing ground for Washington anglers back in the 60s and no doubt will be re- membered by many of the older ang- lers of the city. It is said to be fast disappearing into the waters of the Atlantic. Joseph E. Dreyfuss of 617 Pennsyl- vania avenue, accompanied by Maury Bimon, David L. Frank and Gerson Nordlinger, motored to Watchaprague, Va., recently and had wonderful Juck. They spent 10 days at this famots fishing grounds and landed 400 pounds of weakfish or trout, the largest catch in any one day amounting to 110 pounds. To Simon went the honors for the largest trout caught, his prize weighing 10 pounds, while Dreyfuss ran him a close second with two 9- pound trout. Dreyfuss also hooked YonbooopraaREEBE AMEERE S AR MR 000 S ok ke, chi PGS Bl Cooper, Chi.

The bait used by these anglers was squid, and they all were enthusiastic over the provisions made for the com- fort of the angler both ashore and in the water. Their friends will long remember this trip because four barrels of nice cleaned trout packed in ice were ship- ped back to Washington and distribu ted to friends. Julius Larsen of 5 Thirteenth street, fishing from catfish rock near the Chain Bridge last Tuesday in the early morning hours, landed a cat fish welghing 22 pounds. This is one of many of the big catfish that have been landed during the past week. Salt-water fishing up to the present time has not been very brisk. The best result obtained so far, according to reports, was at Benedict, Md., where at certain times the hardheads or croakers have been caught in large numbers. The coolness of the water is without doubt the cause of the tardiness on the part of ‘the fish to take bait. As soon as the water gets a little warmer big catches may be expected at all of the salt-water fish- ing grounds. If the present clear condition of the water of the Potomac keeps up, the locel anglers can look forward to some fine fishing between the steel plant and the Chain Bridge during the month of June. This is the time that the big rockfish begin their pa- rade to the swift waters of the Po- tomac to spawn. It may be that the nets tn the lower Potomac will keep a large percentage of the rock from getting this far up, but surely ‘some of them will escape these nets and those that do will afford fine sport for the anglers. For the big rock, cut herring is the best bait, but blood- worms are always attractive to them and €éan be depended upon to bring re sults. Artificial bait is also used to| good advantage for this fish. Trolling from & motor boat or from a row boat for these gamsters furnishes many thrills when one is hooked. 36 MASONIC TEAMS IN DUCKPIN TOURNEY The seventh annual tournament of the Masonic Bowling Association will open tomorrow night at the Coliseum, with an entry list of 36 teams, 77 doubles, and 158 singles and will con- tinue to Friday night, inclusive.

Maln 6694 L Wi 5 % Leader of Gotham’s Entry in National League I- Gratified Over Spurt of Athletics, But Doubts Their Ability to Beat Out the Griffmen. BY JOHN J. McGRAW, Manager, New York Glants, Natlonal League Champions. T HE outstanding feature of the base ball races in both leagues—a I might say the first big surprise of the year—has been the marke superiority of the East over the West. in spite of the early prophecies that the two New York clubs, the Na This develops, mind you ona and the Brooklyns would have to carry the fight for the whele East their shoulders. What is more interesting is that this first test was not a fluke. X only did the Eastern clubs in the National League outpoint the We on their home grounds, but the Eastern clubs of the American Leagur went West and did it. victory. On their home grounds the National League Easterners won 37 lost 21, while the American League Easterners went into the West i won 32 games against 27. The interest increases next week when the conditions shift. The X tional League KEasterners go west while the American League Western. ers come east. Baliplayers always look forward to the first western trip as their big test. By the end of that trip the races will be pretty well sifted down. You can be pretty sure that the clubs surviving, or holding their own, will be the ultimate con- tenders. Personally, I expect to see the Pitts- burg club rise rapidiy in our league and better things are certainly to be expected of Detroit in the American. The Pirates made a better showing than any National League western club, winning eight games to six. The White Sox hag the same record in the American gue. Boston Clubs Both Trail. They were the only western clubs to win a majority of their games. The two Boston clubs were the only east- ern clubs to lose a majority of their games. The Red Sox were worse than the Braves, losing 10 out of 15. The Braves were just nosed out, losing 117 out of 13. The Braves, proving rapidly. by the way, are im- They have developed . |a good team spirit and I look to see Bancroft have a winning ball club in the next year or two. I was im- pressed by what I heard about young Jimmy Welsh, which will illustrate how the players of the Braves are working together. Welsh, who has to play the sun- field, found that he could get no prac- tice in the morning because the sun was In the other direction. Instead of racing home after practice he got one of the batters to stay with him at the park. As soon as the sun got far enough around he worked for an hour catching balls out of the sun, after trying several kinds of smoked glasses. That is much like the spirit of the old days. Hughey Jennings and myself, for instance, used to go out alone and work together for an hour to correct some fault in han- dling ground balls. Pie Taylor, of the Pirates, is of that nature. He won't attend the movies because he thinks it might hurt his batting eye. . Pirates Have Stiffest Punch. Of all the western clubs that came to the Polo Grounds recently the Pirates showed the stiffest punch. Their record was no better against us, but that club has the strength. “I only hope they don't get over their slump until we get through with them,” one of our players said the other day. The Brooklyn club is playing about as I expected. I still am confident that our final opposition will be the Pirates and the Robins. The Pirates have had & hard time filling the shoes of Grimm at first base, Grantham be- ing a second baseman originally, but they will work out of that. Now that Maranville is about ready, the Cubs ought to get a fresh start. His experience and winning spirit will be an inspiration to them. It #often is said that any ballplayer can be re. placed, but it is very difficult, some times impossible, to replace a ball- player's spirit. Babe Ruth's return to the Yanks will mean a lot to the club through inspiration even though his weakness holds down his hittin for a while. or v down there. The Yanks won't sta: Tt is too good a ball club. Expeets No Runawsy Victory. So far the Glants have stood out as a powerful machine and T hope they will continue to do so. We ‘want to win all the games we can now for, you may be sure, something will happen to prevent the race being a runaway. It is much better to be prepared for @ slump than to have to overcome one. I want the fans to know how much T appreclate the work of our whole club during my absence. and espectally that of George Kelly and Hughey Jennings. Some one asked me the o if 1 expected the Phillies lalhsgx\'z\llsyi their success. I do. them to be a pennant contender, but Arthur Fletcher’s outfit is bound to be a trouble-maker for all opposition during the season.
