LOUVIS, Mo, June 14— Although Dave Harris, outfielder | procured from the White Sox in | exchange for Red Barnes yester- idny in Chicago, has a good record as |a hitter and fielder with some years | of professional experience behind him, | Manager Walter Johnson does not plan to use the new right-hand swinging | Nat instead of George Loepp in center | field when his club is facing south- | paw slabbing: “Loepp is doing pretty | well for us,” says Johnson, “and I in- tend to continue using him.

The Cleveland Indians, picked ta finish no higher than fourth place in the American League pennant race, to- day are out in front after a whirlwind dash to the top that has left the re- mainder of the clubs, and the Athletics in_particular, groggy. With a championship brand of pitch- ing and a murderous attack. the In- | dians yesterday rolled up their seventh Straight victory and_their third over the world champlons to g0 into the lead by four points. As if 10 make their advance into the leadership even more impressive, the Indians downed the champions, 15'to 2. as Wesley Ferrell turned in his tenth Victory of the season. George Walberg. usually the nemesis of the Cleveland | batters, was no puzzle, and before the | game was over he had been driven to { the showers and Eddie Rommel called to his Tescue. Stage Hurling Duel. At St. Louls Rip Collins and Milton Gaston staged an old-fashioned hurling duel as the Browns defeated the Red | Sox, 1 to 0, in 11 innings. A single by Ralph Kress broke up the contest. Col- lins held the Sox to four hits, while Gaston let the Browns down with seven safe hits. In contrast, Detroit and the New York yankees put on a modern game of base ball—slamming the ball to every corner of the field as the Yankees won, 10 1o 9 A total of 27 hits were collected by both teams. Bucky Harris sent Whitehlll, Page and Sullivan to the mound, but they were s ineffective s Pipgras. Gomez and Sherid.

Outfielders Much Alike. In fielding ability, as well as hitting, there is little to choose between Manush | and Goslin, both being better than average fiychasers, but in one depart- ment—that of throwing the departing Goslin has a distinct edge on the new | Griffman, the Goose having a much stronger arm. Goslin has been something of a stormy petrel ever since he joined the Nationals in 1921, when he was pur- chased after being personal scouted by President Griffith during his second season with Columbia of the South At- Jantic League, where he started as & pitcher and was converted into an out- flelder because of his penchant for Jong-distance hitting. Failure to strictly observe training fules got Goslin into_difficulties with, first, Manager George McBride, who was the pilot here in 1921, and subsequent- Iy with his successors, Clyde Milan, Donie Bush, Bucky Harris and Walter Johnson. Goslin Late in Signing. During the past Winter the relations * between Goslin and Johnson were re- ported as strained and the player be- came a determined hold-out, not sign- ning until shortly before the season opened, when he accepted a contract calling for a basic salary of $10.000, with bonus provisions which would enable him to equal the $16,000 he received in 1929, Goslin's work with the Nationals has been disappointing for the last three seasons, but as he admittedly is & po- tentially great hitter a change of scenery may prove beneficial and en- able him to regain the ail-around ef- fectiveness that gained him rank with the most useful outfielders in league prior to 1928 That 1 although the batt fering vented throwing, and as a resuit of his ineffective de: he was more of a liability than an a to the team. Last year his batting slumped woefully, his average at the end of the campaign being only .288, while this season thus far he has been unable to get started, his latest unofficial figures, including esterday’s game, being .270, while the test figures available on Manush credit him with an average of .320. Johnson Sought Deal. According to President Griffith, the Qoslin-for-Manush-and-Crowder trade was consummated at the behest of Man- ager Johnson, being completed by the Goslin won e was § Washington chieftain by means of long- | distance telephone parleys with Presi- dent Philip De Catesby Ball of the Browns only this morning. “I naturally dislike having to let eny of my old players go, Griff as- serted today, “but this deal seems like- 1y to strengthen the club. There little difference in the worth of Gos- lin and Manush, judged on their life- time records, but Goslin has not been delivering for us, while Man ap- parently is performing in his usual effective manner. In addition, we get in Crowder a seasoned pitcher ~who should materially strengthen our hurl- ing staff. That the passing of Goslin in ex- change for the two Brownies evoked the keenest kind of attention among fandom in the Capital was evide morning when news of the tr came known long before any of newspapers announced it, the phones in the sports department of The Star being kept busy with requests for veri- fications of it.

(Coprright, 1030, by the Consolidated Press Association.) HICAGO, June 14— ‘Remember the American League pennant race of 1908?" asked Walter Johnson yesterday as he sat in a sunny park near the hotel housing the Washington team. “Detroit, Chi- cago, Cleveland and St. Louis were bat- tling all season and the race was not determined until the final day. That’s what you are likely to see in the league this season.” “Philadelphia will not have & walk- away,” he continued. “There are four clubs with a chance for the pennant and Cleveland, Washington and New York will give the Macks a great run. The Yankees are coming and will be right in the heat of the battle before mzny weeks. “The Cleveland team has tremendous power and good pitching. Its infield is nothing much to watch, but the team wins games, Barring injuries, Wash- ington will stay in the foreground and | get better as the season ages. “Washington has plenty of good pitching. Why, I have six men I can start with & good certainty of winning | and Marberry has not yet rounded into form. We have the best catching in years, with Roy Spencer doing so well; a fine infield and plenty of hitting. “Sam Rice and Joe Judge, veterans that they are, are playing the best, ball of their careers. We had a ball team during the last two months of the 1929 season, but did nothing because we started so poorly. Rice and Judge are slamming lefties as well as rightsiders and everything is well.” “We're in a nice spot, close to the | eaders,” continued _Johnson. _“Our | oung players will improve and steady as the season grows and if we can remain near the top our club will be| hard to beat during the last weeks of | the season.

STANDING OF THE New Yor of Hume Spring | Standings in Major Leagues I ndependents’ Opener Tomorrow BY FRANCIS E. STAN. 'ATCH those sandlot fireworks shoot now! A new league, composed of the strongest independent nines in the District and environs, will open play tomorrow, with the powerful Northern A. C. meeting Brooke Grubb's Siiver Spring Giants on the Stiver Spring Fleld at 3 o'clock. At a suggestion made two days ago. advancing & solution to the annual question as to who is the independent sandlot champion, six managers who evinced immediate interest in the pro- posal, met last night at the sports de- partment of The Star and decided to organize such a league, opening play tomorrow. The six teams entered in the inde- pendent. championship series are French A. C., Northern A. C., St. Mary's Celtics, Silver Spring Glants, Seat Pleasant Red | Sox and the Union Printers. ‘As every close follower of the sand- lots knows, arguments galore follow & the end of each season on the question | of who won the championship. As & | matter of fact. no team has had a right to such a title. This year therelll be no such problem—that is, if the well! laid plans of Buck Grier, Bill Flester, | Ed Lowery, Charlie Corbert, Bill Jen-| kins and Brooke Grubb do not go! astray. Five of these teams mentioned are, not in any league, while the Union | Printers, though playing in the Gov- ernment League, present on Sundays a line-up which is decidedly superior to that which the Typos send on the fleld week days. For their Sunday games the Typos have Ray Homan, infielder; Tom Heaney, pitcher; Charlie Warren and Lou Hollis, outfielders. And four players can make & big difference in a ball club! | Rules governing the league play’ were drawn up last night by these am- bitious pilots by a unanimous vote, Charlie Corbert of the Celtics alone be- | ing absent. But Charlie did his voting by proxy, however. Each team will play twice—in double-headers begin on Sunday, June 22, when the | Northerns meet the St. Ma Celtles | at Baggett'’s Park in Alexandria and | the French A. C. and the Seat Pleasant Red Sox clash on the Mount Rainier diamond. Names of all playsrs who are to glny in the league are to be submitted to the writer not later than next Friday at midnight. The squad limit is 18, and no transfers will allowed, ECAUSE of the quick organization of the championship series, only one game has been scheduled for | the premiere tomorrow, but this contest | may draw a record attendance. | Both the Red Birds and the Giants| have impressive records, one of their | most notable achievements being a dual | victory by each over the Takoma Tigers. And any team that can do that must | be good! HOSE sandlot fans who attended the Northern-French contest at| the Grifith Stadium last Sunday were treated to what was undoubtedly the best played game this year on the sandlots, Willie Watt, who umpired the contest sald that he has never officiated in a more interesting or cleaner battle. And every game in this loop should, and in all probability will, be a repeti- tion of such a game, but with one dif- ference—the undisputed possession of | the sandlot unlimited crown will be at take, POWERFUL team, guided by a competent pilot. came down the | stretch in the Government League yesterday to cross the finish line in first place and put Naval Hospital on | the base ball map. | Naval Hospital brushed aside its last | obstacle in a mad rush for the first haif | pennant race when it came from be- hind to defeat the Union Printers, 11 to 8.

Last year it put in its first bid for fame by running amuck in the Departmental League and this season transferred to the Government League in search of stronger competition. Naval Hospital took everything the other four clubs had to offer and gave more. Incidental- 1y, this season marks the first attempt of Dakin's at managing the sailors. Most of the credit for yesterday's victor; Munson. Munson is one of those pitch- ers who has unlimited confidence in his ability to throw strikes. Furthermore he also prides himself on the fact that he is quite a hitter. “If you guys get on this inning' Lefty was heard to declare, “I'll knock you around.” That was in the fifth inning, when the Typos were leading, 6 to 3. But nary a sailor got on the paths, and when Munson came to bat he fanned, ingloriously. ‘Then came a ral which tied the score. Munson got_his chance in the elghth inning, for Payne was on sec- ond and two were out. Munson walked to the plate with a determined look and poled out a long double that scored Payne and ended the first half of the league. He allowed seven hits and fanned 8, after relieving Roberts in the second.

I am confident I can help the Nationals, even though I may not be used regularly, and I am happy to be playing with the big league | club nearest my Carolina home. You | know, down in Greensboro we look | upon ' the Washington club as our big | league club.” | While Barnes, of course, regrets part- ing with his many Washington friends, he is ready to make a go of it with the White Sox. When he came up to the Nationals several years ago Red was a | promising prospect. but the club was | hand hitting outfielders that there was little oppertunity for him to become other than a utility player. This sea- son he was called upon only a few times as pinch batter, but with his new club Barnes may gei more chance to | show his worth. With West and Loepp alternating in center field, according to the kind of pitching employed by the opposition, | the Nationals still have but one extra | outfielder and they are shy reserve in- | field and batting talent. Hayes has | been doing right well as a substitute | for Judge at first base, but with an- | other inficlder out of commission th Nats would have to use McLeod, a | youngster who still | polish b= he may be accounted a | big leaguer. Reserves Still Needed. Not only do the Nats need a capable understudy to Judge at hand, but they 2lso would be helped by the acquisi- tion of two or more right-hand swing- ers with plenty of speed in their feet. Such is the state of the Washington reserve that Manager Johnson has no fleet pinch runners other than young- sters who are not likely to be especially reliable on the base path in emergencies. The. pinch-batting squad from the start has been filled with slow runners, 50 even when one of the reserve hit- ters comes through at the plate the | club still is handicapped on the run- | way. The regular Washington combi- nation is fast. Back of that, however, there Is little speed on the hoof, and this lack of speed has hurt several times lately. A good fight against the Browns here and the Naticnals will be very much | | home the middle of next week. This morning the Washington outfit was right at the heels of the first place In dians and the second place A's, ready to step out in front should either of the clubs in front of it do any slippings. It's one red hot race in the junior major circuit, and there should be plenty of action from now on. Manager Johnson has available for starting pitchers against the St. Louis aggregation Fred Marberry, Lloyd Brown, Bump Hadley and Ad Liska. Garland Braxton and Bob Burke are in prime trim for relief duty. It is unfortunate that Sam Jones is away | from the club treating an ailment that developed after the Nats came West. The somber squire of Woodsfield has rather effective against the Browns. Myles Thomas may not be used here. Tommy has not been going so well lately, and perhaps needs a lit- tle rest to bring him around. Judge Due to Return. Judge. his charley horse about gone, was expected to go back to first base for the start of this St. Louis series.
