PAGE 29 Eff Pitchers Have Afforded Athletics Fine Batting Practice This Season MACKS IN 13 GAMES GET 145 SAFTIES, 50 PASSES League Leaders, Trounced Only Once by Nationals, 'Average Nearly Seven Runs Per Contest, and Have Won Last 10 Tilts of Series. BY JOHN B. KELLER. Nationals tomorrow, and Manager Walter Johnson is wonder- THOSE well known pests, the Athletics, will be the guests of the ing whether by this time his pitchers are good enough to give Connie Mack’s bunch a good argument. Walter isn’t othering much about the remainder of his club. Outside the pitching staff, the Nationals take care of themselves pretty well against the Macks, as well as other clubs. But every time the pilot thinks of his hurlers, especially when the A’s are to be encountered, the old brow becomes furrowed. The big reason why the Athletics have won all but one of the 13 games they have played with the Nationals thus far this year is that the A’s have combed the Washington pitchers for 145 hits and been ranted 50 bases on balls. That’s an average of a trifile more them 11 its and nearly four passes per Johnson’s mound staff. This sloppy slabbing netted the Mackmen a total of 93 runs, an average of about seven tallies per contest. That's tought to beat. The Nationals in the 13 epgage- ments thus far have dented the plate 54 times. That gives them an average of better than four runs per game. beaten Connie’s henchmen -but once, and since scoring that lone victory have b- . licked by the league leaders 10 times in a row. Nine members of the Washington staff have faced the Athletics, and all have felt the sting of the Philadelphia pounding. Never this season has a pitcher of the Nationals bren able to start and complete a battle with the house of Mack. Johnson was forced to send two hurlers to the hill. In four of them he had to employ three slabmen, and in three of | Gleve the clashes as many as four Washing- ton hurlers crashed into the box score if they did nothing else. Throw to A's and Duck. Not for years has any one club ham- mered a National slabbing corps so un- mercifully as have the Athletics treated Johnson's flingers this season. It seems that whenever a pitcher in a Washing- ton uniférm steps to the tee against the Mackian horde this year he ‘hrows and ducks. is pitches come back at him much faster than he sent them up to the batters. No wonder Johnson doesn't like to think about his pitching staff when a game with Mack’s maulers impends. Through with the West until next month, the Nationals will be given plenty to do by Eastern rivals before starting a three-week round of the league on July 1. There’ll be no game here the day after the A's play, but, ‘Thursday Johnson's charges wili open a five- e series with the Red Sox that will be ghyed in. four days.

Firpo Is Winning Long Battle For Recognitio OW even the wisest of base ball | men can be fooled is being | demonstrated in the case of | Frederick Firpo Marberry. And, incidentally, the young yan i | question is obtaining considerable satis- | faction in the development of the answer. The sub- | ject of the debate 7 is how can Mar- berry'’s hurling talents be em- | ployed to the best advantage —as @ starter. or in re- lief roles? Back in 1924, Fred's first full season with th local club, & earned a great name as a rescuer and quite eclipsed old “Rubber Arm” Allen Russel's rec- ord with the res- cue stunts he per- f S uDis he PET- | Fred Marberry | the Griffs to their first pennant. | That season Marberry twirled a total | of 195 innings in the 50 contests he | broke into—as an extra in every one, | it memory serves—and with service in | 55 games the following year and a | boost to 64 in 1926 it was much the | same story; he was a bull pen pitcher | and seldom was called on save when & mate faltered. While naturally gratified over the recognition generally accorded him of | being the greatest relief pitcher in the game Fred harbored the notion from the outset that he could succeed over the route as well as a part-time performer. He clamored for the chance and be- ginning the season before last he was given an occasional shot at opening a lt, but before he could get well into the swing of the new assignment de- velopments among the curving corps would result in him being relegated back to emergency chores in which he sel- dom failed to perform creditably. | Owing to the indifferent success that attended his infrequent efforts as g starter the impression became general that he never would shine in any ca- pacity other than that of finisher, Another Disappointment. Again with the opening of the cur- rent campaign, however, it was an- nounced that Marberry would be given another chance as a route-man. After coming thorugh against Boston in hiz initial effort in the third game of the season Marberry failed when opposed by the slugging A's on his next start and his status then once more became that of rescuer. By this time there seemed to be but one dissenter to the idea that he ‘was fltrely a rellef man—Marberry imself. But that this conclusion is erroneous 1s indicated on the facs ot the returns for the past three weeks. As & rescuer Marberry has fafled twice in this period—against first the Tigers and then the Browns—but in subduing the White Sox in the final of thelr series here yesterday, 5-3, Fred recorded his fourth straight victory tn as many starts while, incidentally, establishing himself as the only con- 1 hits. n as Route-Man handful of safeties, with Cleveland next taking the short end of a 13-3 count, although collecting 11 bingles. Fred Yields One Earned Run. But for a bobble by Shortstop Joe Cronin yesterday the White Sox would have been held to a lone tally—that registered by Johnny Watwood on his circuit clout to the limits in right cen- ter in round two. This misplay, to- gether with one of the two free tickets Marberry issued and a surprise single by Ted Lyons accounted for Chicago's other two tallies. Thereafter all the Sox could glean off Marberry were threc scattered safeties. Coming right back in their half of the round the Nationals knotted the count on Barnes' single, doubles by Bluege and Marberry and aerial sacri- fices by Tate and Hayes, in addition to | Auth: a pass by Cronin. In the following frame the home talent went to the front when Rice's double was followed by Barnes’ second hit and in the fourth they added their fifth counter on Hayes' single, Mar- berry’s suicide and a robust two-bagger by_Judge. This ended Lyons’ regime and scoring for the day as Southpaw Dan Dugan was invincible the rest of the way. FRED DOES IT AGAIN CHICAGO. AB. Metzler, If .

The glee of the Yankees at win- ning from the Tigers was tempered by the sight of Herbert Pennock, the one- time incomparable left-hander, on his way to the showers once more.

HICAGO, June 17.— The claim of Clyde Van Dusen to the title of the best 3-year-old of the season, established by victor> in the Kentucky day, has arisen to a position of serious consideration. Clyde Van Dusen, son of Man o' War, found the going too tough in the Amer- ican Derby, at the Washington ®ark , and he finished a struggling eighth in a fleld of nine horses. Dr. Freeland, winner of another major stake, the Preakness, could do no better than fourth, while Naishapur only added to his reputation as a great fin- isher by taking second to Windy City. African, one of the hopes of the East, was third. . Three major tests remain to be de- cided, and Clyde Van Dusen, Windy City, Dr. Freeland and Blue Larkspur, which did not run at Wasl Parl Saturday, all have - opportunity - to establish a definite claim. ‘The big races yet to be run are the Latonia Derby next Saturday, the Dwyer Stakes at Aqueduct and the American classic at Arlington Park, July 13. Blue Larkspur is the only double winner, having emerged victorious in the Belmont and Withers stakes. |GRIFFS GAIN AFIELD AS 0SS OUSTS MYER The high esteem in which Oss Bluege is held by local fandom was evident from the applause greeting him yestrday when he went to his old post at third base following an uhslsenuwo( nearly three weeks due to a jury. ¢ lxi'cflmz:{ly 1t gave the Nationals the strongest defensive front they can muster.

Jones sought permission to defer reporting on the plsa he was recelving treatment for his ailment which an Ohio specialist had diagnosed as a broken cartilage at the end of his lower left ribs. In addition to hurling in gilt-edge fashion Marberry made some progress in his battle with Bump Handley for hitting sumpremacy among: the John- sonian flingers by belting a lusty double to left center to score the tying tally in second-inning’ rally yesterday. Fred now has the right' respectable sticking average of .280, & mark 113 points higher than that of his fellow flingers. In pounding Lyons for eight safeties —half of them doubles—in less than four rounds the Griffs earned the dis- tinction of being the first team to K. O. 06 | the White Sox ace this season. West, with a fine running catch of i Kamm's teriffic liner in the third, and Marberry, with a foot ball sprawl to retire Cissel at the initial sack in round nine, furnished the fielding features. Uncle Nick Altrock came out of his shell yesterday and gave the Sabbath assemblage many a giggle with his antics in the first base coaching box. He first tickled the customers by aping the gestures of Chesty Art Shires, who enjoyed his usual razzing from the stands, and then entertained by som= discreet mimmicry of Umps Nallin.
