Between them, Johnson and Covey accounted for 40 of the 9% victories nchieved by the Griffmen in winning tt banner, and. judged’by the start they or even excelled before another October arrives. With Walter and his Polish pitch- | ing mate already having delivered, | the caliber of half of the quartet of | veterans on whom the mound burden | 1s expected 1o rest is established.

Both appear to be ready for the business at hand, but should either falter, massive Marberry is on hand to step into the breach. Harris as- =er Marberry is in splendid condi- tion, all traces of the wing ailment that hothered him last Autumn hav- ing disappeared, and Fred himself is rarin’ to go. The tall Texan has zotten inie the habit of expecting toll in half a hundred or more con- tests every season, and if he is de- ived much longer of the chance to t his favorite role of rescuer he demand the opportunity of Rtarting a game, a privilege not ac- corded him once last season. Rotation Being Established. If Harris finds it expedient to go through with his plan to use Bush this afternoon and Ruether tomorrow and both anywhere near approximate the showing of their predecessors, the | order of rotation for the “Big Four” will be established and obtain until | something develops to make a switch advisable.

Johnson erted at the close of that memorable shut-ont effort that he felt not the least fatigued and be- lieved he could have traveled an ad- ditional three or four rounds at top apeed, but no chance on overexertion will be taken with him, and unlees Rucky is convinced the big fellow has all his stuff he will have four full days of rest prescribed for him Johnson's performance in the cur tain-raiser, notable though it was. must be considered even more re markable in view of the fact that he had excuse enough to stay home in- gtead of laboring at the ball park.

Covey Deserved a Shut-Out. | Coveleskie yesterday missed by only a narrow margin duplicating John gon's shut-out feat of the day before A wild heave in the sixth inning of a voller from the hat of Al Simmons enabled that worthy to get half way | around the circuit and negotiate the | remainder of the distance when | Hauser followed with a single. | Covey allowed only half a dozen | gafetles, with no two In any one round, | although he was in an uncomfortable | position on at least two other occa- sions, One of them was In the initial | frame when Bill Lamar lammed | vicious liner through the hox to | center field and pilfered his way to the keyetone. aided by a low, wide throw | from Ruel. Stan here tightened up | hy slipping a third strike aver on Fitz French and causing Simmons to loft. The other menacing situation cropped up in the seventh when Dykes led off with a soaring sock to the limits along the left field line for three bases. This issue was met when Bluege pounced at Galloway's smart smack and flagged Dykes at the pan, a double play following to clear the sacks. The satisfaction derived by the Na- tlonals from administering a second setback to their arch rivals for the zonfalon was heightened by the fact that the pitching victim was none other than Bryan (Slim) Harriss. This 6 feet 6 inches and 185 pounds of twirler from Texas, who has occa- stoned the Griffmen many anxious mo- ments in the past two seasons, started out as if likely to prove as trouble some as ever by turning them back mpressively in the first two frames. Harriss slipped a bit in_ the third when Myer beat out a bunt he dragged down the first base line and Ruel looped a single to left, only to escape when Covey missed all three of his at- tempts at sacrificial bunting and Rice’s hewhiskered liner to Galloway resulted in a dual killing. The alti- tudinous twirler was subjected to a neat spanking in the following frame, however, Then. with Stan Harris hoth_out_of the way (TCHING SCALP relieved at onece with the hair saver ewbrarHerpicid Seold at oll drug esunt W:Il;ce Motor Co.

Gould, Hoppe and Johnson arose to greatness with two other supermen— Frank Kramer, the cyclist, and Ty Cobb of the :nighty willow. All but Johnson finally have slipped from the pinnacle of fame. Cobb still remains in base ball, but he has indi- cated that his appearances in the line- up this vear are to be less frequent than ever. Gould, who is 38 years old, held his national title for 12 consecutive years and was dofeated only once, Kramer retired in 1922, after winning the American cyeling title 18 times. Hoppe for 18 years was a. billiard champion. Cobb has led American League bats- men for 8 consecutive seasons and 11 times n 12 years. to produce champlons whose careers match these five athletic marvels.

[t came in the fourth inning, when, with the bases loaded with Griffs, and two out, Myer sent a slow roller to Galloway. Chick handled the ball faultlessly and got off an accurate peg to Hauser, although his throw was none too strong.
