I —a new band of White X. With a new manager, a lot f new players and, 'tis rumored, new spirit, the Chicago South alders are to open a series of four ames with the Nationals. The hisox, who came East with a gecord of six victories and four defeats, haven't done so well along the Atlantic seaboard. In six games played, they have suffered defeat four times. However, in other years when the Chicagoans were not regarded so strong they enerally managed to give the ationals an interesting time. low, with a scrappy, rebuilt outfit, ey may be more difficult to down. ‘The big new number of the Chisox e-up is Smead Jolley, outfielder.

It was at Texarkana that he itted so well he was used in the out- fleld when not pitching. With that club he hit for .370, making 14 homers.

A “Joe Judge day” is to be held at Clark Grifith Stadium next month, either June 25 or 28, at which the vet- | eran guardian of the initial station, who at this writing is leading the Ameri- can League in hitting, is to be tendered a testimonial that will cause his chest to swell with justifiable pride and his coffers to bulge with gold.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. ONATHAN THOMPSON ZACH- ARY of the New York Yankees is not the oldest pitcher in the American League, in spite of his nickname, “Old Tom,” mnor is he by any means the youngest. Tom became 33 years old yesterday, and he cele- brated his birthday in harness showing the youngsters a few things. Last year Zachary led the American League pitchers by winning 12 games without a defeat. He also had the best earned-run rating, giving but 33 to 120 innings. Up to yesterday Tom had not done so well during the chilly Spring days, but with the advent of Summer weather he scored his first victory, beat- lnfiche Cleveland Indians, 8 to 7. hary received some aid from an- other Yankee anceint, Babe Ruth, and from Roy Sherid, who is more than 10 years younger, Ruth contributed largely to the five-run rally which decided the !ume by hitting his fourth home run of the season with two on base. Sherid came to Zachary’s rescue when he weak- ened in the late innings. Except in three Nl lonal Leagu games yesterday, the pitchers hld the better of the major league batters. Ben- nie Frey of Cincinnati and George Earnshaw of the Philadelphia Athletics turned in the best r(nrmncn. each allowing only three Frey won his game, but Earnshaw lnn. Two of the three hits off Earnshaw were made by the opposing glbcher, ‘Walter Stewart of the St. Louis Browns, who pitched a six-hit game. The third was a homer by Sammy Hale with one man on base, which gave the Browns a 2-to-1 decision. Frey won his third straight game a.d his second 1-to-0 contest by stopping the Boston Braves. Cincinnati did not come through against Ben Cantwell until the ninth inning, when a pair of doubles brought the game's only run. ' The St. louu Cardinals were in the front rank of the heavy hitters yester- day, as they hammered five Philadel- phia pitchers for a 16-to-11 victory. The game produced 35 hits, 19 of them for extra bases, and 5 home runs. The Cards had just a one-hit margin, but they bunched their clouts for nine runs in the fifth inning. Not far behind came the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Giants, dividing | 31 hits in Pittsbyrgh's 16-to-8 victory. B N e urgl e del Parmelee as a starting with & six-run burst and never were over- taken. The Chicago Cubs continued the as- saults on Brooklyn pitching by hitting steadily and at the proper moments to g-.ln a 9-to-5 victory, -m: Bmoklyn ad opened the game with a home-run drive that broughc four umes in the first inning. Glenn Wright and Del Bissonette hit successive homers in this frame and Bissonette added a second in the sixth inning. Charley Root hurled the whole game for the Cubs, although he allowed 12 hits.
