SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. (., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1925: SPORTS. White Sox Open Series Here Tomorrow : Pirates Powerful Team On Own Grounds FACE NATS FOUR TIMES DURING THREE-DAY STAY Chisox Only Aggregation to Hold Advantage Over Champs on Local Field This Season—Tygers to Be Met in Double-Header Today. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OMORROW and the two days their opponents in four games I in the American League that vantage over them in Clark G following the Nationals will have as the White Sox, the only aggregation so far has been able to get an ad- iffith Stadium. When the Collinsmen were here in June, they won only one of three games played, but the rain saved the Champs from a terrible licking that would have given the visitors an even break in the series. During t clubs the White Sox grabbed three the series with a double-header victor he second invasion of the Western of the four games staged, starting Y. Then, however, the Sox had the wonderful Eddie Collins_in their line-up. But since a sprained ankle put him out of commission the: flopped because the veteran Bill Barrett, really an outficlder, and have ecruit ch have been unable to take very good care of the territory around thelsecond sack. So the Windy City gang is not apt to prove as trouble- some, but it still has “kick” watched. The main strength of the Collins- men now is in their pitching staff. Two of the White Sox hurlers have been especially effective all season. They are Ted Lyons and Ted Blanken- ship, both right-handers. Perhaps it is just as well that both of these heavers were employed yesterday against the Athletics. The Nationals :re likely to have to face one of them ere. enough Both Trimmed by Griffs. Like other moundsmen, Lyons and Blankenship need the customary three days between games to be at thelr best. During the Nationals’ last visit in Chicago, Lyons tried to pitch against them with but two days of rest following his previous start. The Champs knocked him to the showers in short order. during | that series, swept, the Champs ended a long winning streak for Blankenship. The Sox may be sure of a warm reception by the Nationals. Naturally Manager Stanley Harris is eager to get this pennant-winning business | over as quickly as possible and will throw the full strength of his forces into the battles with the Windy City men. The National pilot intends to e all the regulars a chance to relax is soon as the flag is “in.”” They will not be used in playing out the Ameri- can League schedule, as the club has enough reserve talent to put a com- plete second team on the field. Players Need Rest. While rain yesterday keptNationals and Tygers “apart and forced the scheduling of a double-header between the clubs this afternoon, it probably was a good thing for some of the local aggregation that they got a chance to idle. Bucky Harris, Ossie Bluege and Moon Harris still are *“sporting” in- juries that make them very uncom- fortable in action. Bluege's big toe that was sprained in Fhiladelphia last week stubbornly refuses to vield to treatment quickly. It pains the player considerably and although it has not handicapped him to any great extent in his work so far there is no doubt that Ossie would be much better off were the digit in nor- mal condition. The second finger on Bucky Harris' | throwing hand still is quite swollen and lets the manager know it is there every time he stops a ball. Moon Har- ris’ shoulder was about recovered from | the number of pitches it had stopped this season when it took another blow RECORDS OF GRIFFMEN Won, Ferguson Johnson Coveleskie Ruether aem Lost. Tt 1 momoariam left to be damaging if not carefully from Jesse Doyle. An off day occa- sionally is not bad for these fellows. All Recruits Here. According to President Griffith, all the rookies that will show with the Nationals this Fall are here. They are: Pitchers Smith, Lyle and Ballou, Inflelders McGee, Stewart and My and Outficlder Jeanes. Joe Thoms southpaw slabman bought from Nash- ville, and Cowboy Jones, outfielder pur- chased from Mobile, will not report to the club until it gets to Tampa for training next year. Mule Shirley, first sacker farmed to Jersey City, and Vean Gregg, pitcher, sent to New Or- leans, also are to rejoin the club in Florida. In discussing his plans for the club after the flag is clinched, Harris inti- mated this morning that the National team taking the field for the waning season would have McGee at first base, Stewart at second, Myer at shortstop, Adams at third and Jeanes, Veach and Leibold in the outfield. Much of the pitching probably will be done by |Ballou, Lyle and Smith, while Tate and Severeid are likely to do the catching. ‘While these second-stringers are tak- ing part in the games the regulars will not be permitted to idle. Harris intends to hold daily drills for them at the park, but will not press them to any extent. He does not mean to risk overtraining his charges. —one {orward and the cther backosard — Wb MwuTes Mlle SPerTerNA 4amous French tight vope walker — CROSSED OVER NIAGARA FALLS ON A ROPE WEARING BASKETS ON HER FEET. 1885 RACES NOW EASIER con ke inn sucs BUCS’ PROWESS AT HOME MAY END N.

KANSAS CITY, September 17.--Dr. John Lavan has resigned as ‘xn~ ager of the Kansas City A:leri- can Assoclation base ball team to ac- cept a position as city epldemiologist. Dr. Lavan will begin his duties at once, although his resignation will not take effect until September 27, when the base ball season ends. In his new position, Dr. Lavan will have charge of the division of sanitation and contaglous diseases. He will receive only $400 a month, half of his salary and base ball man- ager. However, he explained that he always has been primarily a physician and that he entered base ball only “as a means to an end.” Dr. Lavan was visiting city physi- clan here last Winter. He formerly played with Washington, the Phila- delphia Athletics and St. Louis Browns and Cardinals. DURHAM IS BLANKED. DURHAM, N.

N EW YORK, September 17—Ahhough the National League pennant was farther beyond the reach of the New York Giants today as the result of a double victory by the Pirates over Brooklyn, Mc- Graw’s men have made their hold on second place reasonably secure by crushing the hopes of the Cincinnati Reds. By defeating Adolfo Luque, the Cuban pitching star, the champions yesterday put their Western rivals for the running-up berth five games behind. A double by Irish Meusel in the third inning, scoring two men, gave the Giants all the runs they needed to win. Art Nehf limited the Reds to one run. They got nine hits, but Nehf had good support. Other Eastern teams in the Na- tional didn’t fare so well. While Brook- Iyn was dropping its double-header to the Pirates, 5-3 and 6-2, increasing the lead of the Corsairs to six and one- half games over New York, the Cardi- nals jumped idto fourth place by trouncing the Phillies, 5 to 3. Steady pitching by Oldham and Meadows sent the Robins back into the second divi- sion. Hornsby made his thirty-seventh homer. ‘Washington, idle yesterday, held its advantage of eight games over the second-place Athletics, who had an even break with the White Sox. Ea- die Rommel hurled Philadelphia to vic- tory in the first, 4 to 1, posting his twenty-first triumph of the season, but three pitchers failed to stop Chi- cago in the second, 6 to 2. The rejuvenated Yankees reopened their fight with Cleveland for sixth place with a brace of victories, 8 to 0 and 4 to 3. Shocker blanked the In- dians with eight scattered hits in the first game, but Pennock was carried to 10 innings in the second, in spite of the fact that he allowed but five les. 8 The Braves moved up to within three and a half games of fifth place in the National by sharing a twin bill with the Cubs. A salvo of 15 hits clinched the final game by 8 to 6 for the Hub, after it had been blanked by the veteran Alexander in the opener, 3 to 0. PIEDMONT LEAGUE. Winston-Salem, 10: Durham. 0. FOURNIER CASE INDICATES “RAZZERS” NEED CURBING = By the Associated Press. N arises as a result man of the Brooklyn Nationals. He W YORK, September 17.—The question whether the demonstrative tedencies of the American fan have gone a bit beyond bounds of statements by Jacques Fournier, first base- says he intends to quit the elub at the end of the season because of abuse heaped upop him by home crowds. Major league history from its beginning has had its vocal accom- paniment from the spectator. The cheers, the “razz,” all have become established adjuncts In the opinion of not a few base ball men, however, there is need for curbing certain elements in base ball crowds which make a practice of rid- ing players or attacking them with unwonted vigor. Some efforts, in fact, already have been made along these lines by club owners. Fournle; se recalls many an- other where stars have been singled | out as targets for derision, but the jeers usually have come from hostile | crowds, not the fans at home. Such | outbursts are taken by most players as a matter of course. Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb have had their jeers as well as cheers. Both, stirred at times by taunts, have in- vaded the stands to reach their tormentors. Cobb needed police pro- tection on several visits to Phila- delphia. Ruth, like Fournier, has felt even the sting of criticism at home. During the series between Wash- ington and the Athletics in_Phila- delphia last week, Stanley Harrls, ‘Washington pilot, was singled out by the spectators for attack. Every time he stepped to the plate he was greeted with booeing and jeering, partly, it TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F the “lucky-seventh” stretch and pop bottles of the national pastime. seemed, because he had accidentally spiked one of the Mackmen in a pre- vious series, but largely, it also was apparent, because he was the leader of the enemy forces. GOTHAM BOARD BARS TWO RING OFFICIALS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 17.—The New York Boxing Commission has an- nounced that Tommy Sheridan, ref- eree, and Gene Sampson, a judge, wouid be given no further assignments and would not be reappointed on the expiration of their terms, as a resuit of the draw decision they rendered Monday night in a fight between two New York welterweight boxers, Kid Kaplan and Willle Harmon. Action by the board followed ex- pressions of opinion by newspaper men and spectators at the contest, who credited Harmon with winning a majority of the rounds in decisive fashion. Request of Jimmy Slattery, Buffalo light Heavyweight, and his manager, Paul Carr, that Slattery's fight on October 5 with Harry Greb, middle- ‘weight champlon, at the Polo Grounds, be canceled on the plea that the Buf- falo boxer needs a rest was granted.

If anything, it acts as a stimulus. But if they rode me at home I couldn’t feel the same. If the Washington crowds were against me I'd begin to think there was something wrong. That's the only thing that would get my goat.” John McGraw always has felt that the unpopularity of the Giants on the road added to the gate receipts.

NEW YORK, September Jimmy McLarnin, the 17-year-old Vancouver boy who held Pancho Villa to a draw just a few weeks before the Filipino died, going to be the next lightweight champion? So keen a judge of fighters as Bob Shand. one of California’s most de- pendable referees and boxing critics, thinks so. Shand has seen McLarnin fn nine battles, seven of which he refereed. In all these bouts, Shand avers, Mc- Larnin never was hit solidly by an opponent. “He is the cleverest defensive boxer seen in the ring since the days of Young Griffo,” says Shand, who, by the way, was close to the fight game when Abe Attell was at his best. McLarnin, it will be remembered, in addition to winning a virtual vie- tory over Villa, has two victories over Fidel Labarba to his credit. He is rapidly taking on weight, and hence Shand's prediction that he eventually will climb to the lightweight throne. Besides being clever, McLarnin can hit, as he has shown upon a number of important occasions. Leo Flynn, manager of Dave Shade, is going the Great White Way with a roll of bills the size of a quart pail, offering to bet that David knocks Mickey Walker kicking next Monday night. So far no one has taken him seriously, but if some one does, it will be interesting to see what odds Leo demands. (©®1925.)

M. Hoyt’s Dauphin for violating a race rule in carrving more than one pro- fessional cost the United States fleet its triumph in the opening brush. Action taken by the race committee, in spite of the fact that the violation was explained as unintentional and due to the Dauphin pilot’s ignorance of the rule, followed the refusal of the officials to disqualify another Ameri- can boat in the same race on protest of the visiting fleet. The Lea had been accused of fouling the Oslo of Norway, but sufficient grounds to justify the protest could not be found by the committee. America’s sweeping victory yester- day over a 12-mile course in Long Island Sound, with the Dauphin bal- ancing her disqualification by finish- ing first, consequently tied the two fleets at one victory apiece. Since one of the teams must win four races to complete the series, at least five con- tests now will be necessary. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE. All games postponed (rain). mllCAV ASSOCIATION.

FOSTER. N in the series just finished. EW YORK, September 17—Pittsburgh has been a home-winning base ball team all year, and nothing the team has done all season has made that fact more significant than its victory over Brooklyn Returning from St. Louis, where they made a terrible mess of things, the National League leaders at once recovered their confidence and began the systematic cleaning up of a championship, which must be won on their own field. It is true they have four games left to be played on the Cmcmnan field, and if the Pirates should falter and postpone the win- ning of the pennant until that series, nearly crazy with anxiety. Brooklyn was expected to make a strong showing against Pittsburgh and there were some who thought the Brooklyns might go so far as to win the series from the Pirates, basing thelr reasoning on what happened to Pittsburgh in Chicago and St. Louls. But back on the home lot. the Pirates were another team. Even with their success against Brooklyn, it is out of the question for Pittsburgh to approach the record for games won In a season. Even dreams of a “century” of victorles is fading. Ninety-five wins should put the Pirates safely into pennant harbor, however. Following Brooklyn at Pittsburgh come the Phillies, and if the Pirates are as successful against them as they were against Uncle Robbie's team, they will be almost “i If Johnny Mostil keeps his legs limbered up for the few remaining days of the season, he has a fine chance of winning the stolen base record in the American League for 1925. And if he succeeds, the Chicago ‘White Sox will have had it three years in_succession. Mostil will have to make 42 steals to equal the record of Collins in 1924, and 49 to equal the record set by Col- lins in 1923. His chances of equaling Collins’ 1923 figure are slim, but with | 40 steals already achieved he certainly should pass the 1924 high mark. It must be recorded that Mostil has not had very much competition in the American League this season. Of all the dilapidated, run-down-at-the-heels base running, that of the American League this year comes pretty close to setting a record. If some player would start to run wild on the bases he probably would get away with a lot of steals because the catchers have had so little expe- rience throwing to second that it is even-Steven they would not come within 10 feet of it. Washington has the two players who are next best to Mostil at base stealing, although there are some folks who insist that there is not any next best—that Mostil is the only man in the league the catchers have to watch. ‘Washington's pair are Sam Rice and Goose Goslin. Neither has a chance to beat Mostil out, but the fact that Rice and Goslin have been paying at- tention to base running is one reason why the Washingtons are winning an- other champjonship. The very best base runner on the Athletics has achieved only 10 steals all season. Imagine that for a team that is second in the race! FIVE-STATE BASE BALL TITLE AT STAKE TODAY CAMBRIDGE, Md. September 17. —Oriole Park, Baltimore, will be the scene today of the final game of the annual five-State base ball series between the winners in the Blue Ridge and Eastern Shore leagues.
