Sports News R NS T L ROY IMPRESSES JOHNSON WITH ALL-AROUND WORTH Showing Such Fine Form in Receiving and Throw- ing That Walter Intends to Use Him in Major- ity of Remaining Contests. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, June 27.—In the game less than a week after waiting more than two months for a chance to prove his worth, Roy Spencer already is considered the leader of the Nationals’ catching staff. Spencer’s receiving and throwing in the few contests in which he has been behind the bat have so impressed Manager Walter Johnson that he plans to employ the rangy catcher in the majority of the games remaining on the Washington schedule. Spencer’s rapid rise during his brief trial has brought about a B reorganization of the Johnsonian the stocky receiver who blossomed into a first-rate performer at training camp this year, after dubbing gbout with the club for five seasons, is held next in ability to Spencer, while Muddy Ruel, the veteran of the staff, who for years was regarded one of the best of the big-mit wearers in base ball, has become a catching reserve. Spencer is easily the best thrower on the catching staff. He gets the ball away fast and with plenty of power.

HE lead of the Athletics seems to grow almost by magic, but Na- tional League contenders con- tinue to butt their heads against one another, with no particular gain for anybody. While the Pirates were losing and the Giants winning in John Heydler’s circuit yesterday, the Mackmen were cleaning up their fourth straight from the defenseless Red Sox and the Yankees were dividing a pair at_Washington. ‘These antics combined to place the Athletics at a point 10}, games in ad- vance of the champlons, which is no fit state of affairs if you ask the busi- ness managers. The leaders and the runners-up are to open a_ three- e series against each other in Philadelphia today, and singers of the hoo are ressed hard to discover the least bit crucial about it. ® Pennock Encouraging. ‘True, it may be just a wee bit crucial for the Yanks, who must take three straight to preserve even the semblance of a race in the American League, but for the happy Athletics it is just an- other set of games.
