KELLER. E wasn't good enough to stit he has played a whale o H youngster remain in the line-up f¢ trick knee that laid low Ossie guardian, is in good trim again. It was on May 28, when the Nationals were playing the Yankees | here, that Hayes got a second chance this season to prove his worth. | It was a field made slippery by an early afternoon rain that paved the way to his return. Bluege, going back in the sixth inning for a throw from Sam West, skidded on the damp turf, and blooie went the trick knee. Hayes was rushe going great guns since. In the dozen games up to today he has been in as a substitute in this stretch the ’Bama boy has banged the ball at a .381 clip and has fielded for an average of .984. That’s substituting with a ven- geance, it seems. In fact, substi- tuting at a much faster pace than many of the Nationals are follow- ing as regulars. Hayes has figured prominently in the club’s offense since he got back into the game. In 42 times at bat he has socked 16 hits, three of them two- Dbaggers. He has made but one sacrifice hit and swiped only two bases, yet he has managed to drive over seven runs and score six times himself. Three passes have come his way, and he has been looking over the pitching carefully, for only once has he n a strikeout victim.. Then he let the third one 0 by. s His fielding has been of high order. In the dozen games he has had 64 chances come his way and accepted 63 | S of them. His first error came yesterday in the fifth innin~ when he let Jack Tavener's grounder go through. Before making this misplay Hayes as a sub- stitute had handled cleanly 59 consecu- tive chances. That's great fielding for any second baseman, regular or substi- tute. Jack may not have been particularly brilliant in his trial string of 15 games at the outset of the season; he may not have been so impressive in his four-day workout during the latter part of the ‘Western _trip in May, but since coming back, about two weeks ago, he has played as well as could be asked of any youngster. And he deserves a thorough testing this time before final judgment 1s passed. Landis Socks Griffith. By Judge Landis’ pronouncement yes- terday, the Washington ball club is nicked for $15,000, the cash turned over to the Toledo club of the American Association for the services of Paul Mc- Cullough, pitcher. The case of the pitcher, who failed to report to the| Nationals until three months after he was ordered to join the club, because of illness suffered during the Winter, was placed before the base ball commissioner b President Clark Grifith, who main- tained the player was in such poor physical condition that he would be of | Bkl no value to Washington, and asked that the deal with the Toledo club be can- celed and the $15,000 returned to the local treasury. But at a meeting in the Willezd Hotel yesterday Landis ruled against the Washington club. Not only did Griffith contend that ‘McCullough was so weakened physically by his illness in the Winter that he would be of no value to the Nationals, although physicians who had examined the pitcher in Baltimore at the com- missioner’s order not long ago pro- nounced him organicallv sound, but he also claimed the Toledo officials had influenced McCullough to withdraw an application for voluntary retirement from base ball by offering him a part of the purchase price. According to Griffith, Oscar Smith, president of the Toledo Club, and John Judge’s Double-Play Skill Helps Liska Defeat Tribe OE JUDGE, Washington’s veteran first baseman, who has been in a slight slump for several weeks, played a role of tren.endous im- portance in the Nationals’ 5-to victory over the Cleveland Indians Sun- day. It was Joe's double in the second inning that started Washington to a four-run rally against big John Miljus, and it was his sensational fielding later in the game that halted the Indians’ attempts to make the situation trying for Ad Liska. Judge started two double plays to shortstop and back again as only Joseph can do. Players on other clubs declare the Washington man the greatest in the game on that type of double play. In the sixth inning he and Cronin got Fonseca and Joe Sewell, and in the eighth caught the fleet Eddie Morgan and Charlie Jamieson. A4 Liska pitched his second great| game of the season against Cleveland. He was beaten over in Ohio in May, although he allowed only two hits. On Sunday he gave up seven hits, and three of them fell from the bats of pinch-hitters. Bib Falk was the only Indian to find Adolph an easy mark. Bib singled twice and drove in both of the Indian runs. Washington drove John Miljus out of the game in the second inning, although he finished that round. Judge's double | & was followed by a pass to Hayes, and then Ruel singled and Myer and Rice doubled. Wesley Ferrell, a young In- dian recruit from North ~ Carolina, pitched the next five innings, and held the Nationals at his mercy. He then gave way for a pinch-hitter, and against Melvin Harder Washington scored its final run in the ninth. Hayes worked the delayed steal after forcing Barnes and took third on_Luke Sewell's throw into center field. Ruel again hit safely to score Jack. Cleveland had won 7 out of its last 10 games before coming to Washington and had taken successive series from Chicago, Boston and New York. The Indians were fighting hard for the game, as it meant fourth place for thcm with Detroit losing at Boston. The Indians now will shoot thelr three star pitchers, Shaute, Hudlin and Zinn, against the Nationals. Zinn, & recruit, has allowed only one run in 19 innings, and that was a gift, as the Indians were leading by 11 runs. Farl Averiil, the Indians’ high-priced outfielder from San Francisco, failed to get a hit off Liska, but played a fine game in the fleld. He is said to be faster than Roy Johnson of the Tigers and_the greatest fielding center fielder in the league. It was Liska's second start since he was injured, over two wecks ago, and he pitched remarkably fine ball. The In- ot Good Enough to Stick in Game Regularly After Starting Campaign, Shows Rare Worth.

McMahon, the club's attorney, who were present at the meeting yesterday, ad- mitted this action on the part of the American Association club. It seems, though, that this had no effect upon the judge, who declared the player was not permanently disabled by his iliness, but was physically trim enough to com- =7 with the requirements of a base ball deal, and that therefore thc Wash- ington club was not entitled to a re- turn of the money paid Toledo.

The defeat of both of the teams cur- rently rated as the most dangerous in the Nationzal League, enabled the Cardi- nals and the Cubs to improve their positions_a bit. The Red. Birds had some difficulty with Claude Willough- by, but bunched their hits in such a way as to win by 5 to 4. Jess Haines was tight in the pinches, and had to be, as the Phils outhit his support, 13 to 9. ‘Wilson’s Homer Wins. Artie Nehf found young Ben Cantwell & tough opponent in Chicago, and the Cubs won by 2 to 1 only because Hack Wilson nicked Cantwell for a home run in the seventh with Hornsby on base. The Braves had scored in their own half of the round on Maguire's double and Harper's single. Each side totaled only four hits. The Cards climbed to within half a game of the Pirates and remained one contest ahead of the third-place Bruins. , ‘The margin between the Rirates and the Giants was unchanged at three and one-half games. The battie of Brooklyn, a special game arranged after the regular schedule was drawn, was lost by the Pirates be- cause Jess Petty weakened in the eighth, permitting the Robins to score four times. Doug McWeeny had been |Ms: driven from the box in the seventh |p when the Pirates assumed a lead of 7 to 6, and so surrendered to Clise Dudley, his successor, official credit for the vic- tory.

The Champions collected 15 safe' drives off the assortment of St. Louis | pitchers led through the box by Rip; Collins. Henry Johnson, the while, held the Brownles to 4 safe hits in seven innings to offset his customary wild- = ness, which reached the height of seven passes. ‘Wilcy Moore finished the last two rounds. The victory sent the Yanks into second place, seven full games behind the leading Athletics. The Browns trail by no more games, but concede eight percentage points to the Yanks, who have lost fewer contests. Gehrig's 2 homers sent his total for the season to 14, giving him the lead in his own league and sending him into a tie with Klein of the Phillles and Hafey of the Cardinals in the inter- league race. ‘With the Athletics and the White Sox idle, awaiting the anticipated feast of the Mackmen this week, action along the rest of the American League front was confined to Boston and Washing- ton. George Uhle, who won nine games before losing one, met his second defeat of the season when he weakened toward the finish at Braves' Field, permitting the Red Sox to score six times in the last two innings to gain a 7-to-6 margin, Ed Morris went the route for Boston. ROOKIE HITS HOME RUNS ON FIVE DAYS IN A ROW ALEXANDRIA, La., June 10 (f).— “Bad News” Hale, young third baseman of the Alexandria Cotton States League Club, playing his first season of pro- fessional base ball, has hit home runs for five successive days to establish a claim on some record or other, Yesterday he made it good measure by hitting two circult blows in addition to two other hits in five times up.

NEW YORK, June 10.—Babe Ruth may be too ill to play base ball these days, but he can't keep away from the game that made him famous. With his wife, the former Claire Hodgson, the Babe was a spectator at yesterday’'s game between the Yankees and the Browns. The famous slugger didn’t go near the Yankee bench, but sat in a box along the right fleld stands. He stood up and cheered when his friendly rival, Lou Gehrig, hit his thir- teenth home run and was dissuaded only with difficulty from tossing away his ex- pensive hat when “Columbia Lou” shot his fourteenth into the right field bleachers later. Still a bit weak from a severe cold, Ruth was able, nevertheless, to talk a good game of base ball. “I hope they keep up this hitting against the Browns and the Tigers,” he sald. “I'll be back to help them against metAthletlcs‘ the only team we have to at.” MINOR LEAGUE RESULTS l AMERICAN ASSOCIATION, Columbus. 3-7; Indianapolis, Minneapolis, 4-5;: Kansas City, 11-6 (sec- ond game seven innings).

Are Likely to Be Jolted , Although Interest in Pastime Is Increasing. BY GEORGE base ball. N CHADWICK. EW YORK, June 10.—Salaries are at their peak in major league That is so, also, in the minors. The largest salary paid to an individual is that given to Babe Ruth by the New York Yankees. The first time Col. Jacob Ruppert paid Ruth $50,000 he called together the other owners of American League clubs and told them of the situation confront- ing him. “Do you think I ought to give him $50,000?” he asked. “I don’t want to make the way hard for you. It will get out that he receives $50,000 and other players will wan t more money. We all know that they can’t do what Ruth can do, and they know it, too.” PIMLID OFFERS S2100 I FALL Features at Autumn Meeting Headed by the $40,000 Futurity. HE Maryland Jockey Club an- nounces the features to be de- cided at the coming Pimlico Autumn meeting of 11 days from November 1 to , in- clusive. These comprise the Futurity, $40,000 added; the Riggs handicap, $25,000 and gold cup valued at $500; Pimlico weight-for-age, $4,000; Help- ful, $2,500; Bowie, $10,000; the Mas- ters ot Foxhounds’ Association steeple- chase, $2,500 and gold cup, in addition to the handsome trophy offered to the winner of the Billy Barton steeplechase at the Spring meeting. ‘This superb silver bowl was won by Landboy, owned by Augustus F. Good- win of Boston, and ridden by J. H. V. Davis, and will be held by him until the running of the Masters of Fox- hounds’ Association steeplechase, when it will again be put in competition. ‘Then come the Pimlico graded han- dicaps, the Walden and Manly Memo- rial steeplechase, to both of which $10,000 is added, with a gold cup in addition in the Manly; the Baltimore handicap, $3,500 added; the Home- bred, $2,500 and plate; Pimlico Cup, $10,000 and cup. The proposed schedule of running is in_ the order named above, which is subject to revision, and all stakes with one exception, will close August 15. The exception is the Masters of Foxhounds’ Association steeplechase, which will not close until October 17 to accommodate the hun set. . - 13 An additional steeplechase for hunt- ers, conditions of which will correspond closely with the Masters of Foxhounds’ Association steeplechase, and be in the nature of a sequel to this popular fea- ture, will be Tun on the last day of the meeting, when the Pimlico Cup will be | run, but this will be an “overnight affair, closing the day before the race. In all eight jumping events will be provided, and this will be good news for lovers of cross country sport. ‘To the 11 features, one or more set for each day of the meeting, the hand- some sum of $120,000 is added, with $6,300 in awards to trainers, and this, together with value of cups and over- night races, will bring the amount to be distributed among horsemen to $221,000 or over $20,000 per day. Entry blanks will be ready for dis- tribution shortly and further informa- tion can be obtained from M. L. Daiger, ficrefiafl’. 533 Equitable Building, Bal- imore. “That’s where we are safe,” spoke up a Western owner. “I am perfectly will- ing to give players all that I can afford to give, but the very fact that they know Ruth can do things that they cannot do and that he attracts spec- tators to the games will make them reasonable so far as demanding sal- aries is concerned. In addition to that, they know we can't pay them. If we try to go much higher we shall go broke and that means shut down.” Base ball is doing well this year, but only in spots. Bad weather cut into things severely. Increased interest in base ball is in evidence. There has been an increase since the war. It has fluctuated and it always will. Some- times one club gets it and sometimes another. There have been seasons in each major league in which all teams did a little better than break even financially on the year, but such sea- sons are very infrequent. This year Ruth’s contract to pla; base ball expires. His signature tohln! other, if he is in trim again, will not ve obtained without a great deal of publicity. It is not likely that the American League will be consulted as to whether Ruth shall be paid $50,000 in 1930. It is more probable that Col. Ruppert will be thinking of his future and of the standard set for base ball salaries gene erally. At this moment there are some sal- aries in major league base ball which are out of all proportion to the value of the players. The Brooklyn pitchers are being paid too much money. This l:l only one instance. The Cincinnati players are very well recompensed an they even held out when they eouldn‘flt bat well enough to make such demands. Ball players who ask a large addition to their checking accounts in 1930 won't get it. They may as well make up their minds to it now as any other time. They have been living high, buy-~ ing gasoline galore, and some of them have been playing ball that would not pass muster a quarter of a century ago, HOME RUN STANDING By the Assoclated Press.
