THE EVENING 'VET HITS, FIELDS BETTER - FOLLOWING MOVE TO TOP In 24 Games as First-place Hitter, Joe Slams for .353 Average and Plays Brilliantly at First Base—Griffs Drub Indians, 9 to 3. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LAND, July 12.—For years after joining the Washington | ase ball club Joe Judge insisted he could bat well only if given the lead-off place in the batting order. That was his| offensive post through several seasons, but Judge became | such a power at bat that he was shifted to other positions, and man- | aged to do pretty well. This season, however, Judge started sluggishly ! and went from bad to worse as a batter. Then came the shift to his | LE old favorite spot, the lead-off, an It w diatel batter he has missed his hit in on! 353 clip. During the nearly four weeks he has occupied the post Judge has made 36 hits. Among them have been 10 doubles, 6 triples and a homer. And Joe has tallied 22 times, in addition to driving 13 runs over the counting block. Since the shift Judge has become about the most valuable player to his club. Not only has he improved at bat but he also has picked up afield until he once more is to be rated one of the best, first basemen in the business. Not An error has Joe made around the ini- 1ial sack, and he has had many chances, too. His record for the past 24 games shows 241 putouts and 13 a: great picce of fielding. Saves Cronin Errors. Judge’s fine work around the initial rack yesterdav saved Joe Cronin from being charged with a flock of errors and helped the Nationals toward the 9-to-3 victory they scored over the Indians to make the series here 50-50 to date. The young shortstop was all over his side of the infield, blocking drives made by the home batters. But six times his throws to first base dug into the dirt far i front of Judge. The first-sacker m: aged to stretch far enough to get these throws and complete plays five times, so only a single error went against Cronin’s name in the score. Several of these lurid chucks were made at times when Judge's failure to complete plays might have thrown Fred Marberry, pitching for the Nationals, into a peck of trouble. But with such splendid support by the veteran fi baseman Marberry breezed on to a vic- tory, in which he yielded eight hits three of them in the final innirg, and & lone pass. Fred always was up on the Indians. for the Nationals took a liking to the slants of the right-handed Jimmy Zinn facing them for the first time this se son, passes. Walter Johnson's charges tallied twice in the first round, and had run their total to eight runs before the Tribe crashed the scoring column in the #ixth session. T=ree Hits Up to Ninth. s on Sunday, June 16, when the Nationals were playing the | White Sox in Washington, that Judge was lifted from the depths of the batting order to the top, and he began stinging the ball imme- | In the 24 engagements in which he has figured as a lead-off and collected 16 safeties and two | d it worked wonders. ly two and has socked the ball at a the way to the Indians' first score, that was hung up in the sixth. It went to Zinn, who was sent around the bases by Jamieson's infield erasure and Aver- ill's single. ‘The Nationals clustered three more singles for their last run in the seventh inning. Marberry driving | the score over with his third hit. Then the Indians did some consola- | tion scoring when Marberry eased in his work in the ninth. President Griffith has nbtified Secre- y Eynon he will join the club in| icago Sunday. The prexy is to con- | fer with Judge Landis about the case of Giard, pitcher, who scems to have | balked reainst his shipment to the Texas League by the Nationals. Sam West came through with a ban- ner bit of fielding in the fourth inning | when he jammed against the center- ficld barrier and jumped high for a | one-hand grab of Falk's fine drive. | Marberry's balk in the ninth was| made while Pinch Batter Hauser was at bat, with Falk on third base and| Porter on first, Fred had gripped the ball to throw a fast one, but Ruel switched the «'n as the pitcher wa about to stride. In changing his grip! on the sphere for the curve Marberry made a_distinct pitching motion with out delivering the ball, and Umpire Guthrie immediately called the balk, | that tallied Falk and moved Porter to| second. | It was a tough game on Indian bat- tery men. Myatt, who started behind the bat, had his right thumb badly split by a foul tip from Marberry’s bat in the’ third inning and had to retire. His successor, Luke Sewell, was struck | on the knee and felled by a foul from West's bat in the fourth. One of Mar- berry's pitches hit Zinn on the right| foot in the third round and almost put the pitcher out. | _Pitcher Sam Jones, who was called to Woods Field, Ohio, yesterday by the ill- ness of his wife, has not vet rejoined the club. and nothing has been heard | from him.
