Harris® Club One of Season Failures—Nats Capture Rain-Halted Game. BY JOHN B. KELLER. NE of the big disappoint-| ments of the base ball| season, the Detroit club,| will be with us the next| three days. Right at the heels of the Indians, who were to wind | up their four-game set this after-| noon, the Tigers will lumber into Griffith Stadium for a three- game set. Before the champion- ship campaign got under way the ‘Tigers with supposedly improved defense were rated as strong first division contenders. They had potential _hitting strength and their pitching was figured good. But these -ealculations were all wrong and now Bucky Hauris' club 1s way out of the picture. Nevertheless, the Tigers have given the Nationals a pretty good battle to date. They have tackled the Johnson band seven times and won three timos. That's too close for comfort the way the Nafionals look at it. When the ‘Tigers visited here in May they iook the first and third games of a series of four. When the Nationals started their first invasion of the West this year they licked the Tigers twice in succession then took a loss. The third | game went to the Detroit ciub and rain prevented a fourth meeting. Manager Johnson plans to send Ad Liska, who has been pitching pretty ood ball for some time, againsi the igers tomorrow in the opener of the series. Liska had two teeth yanked yesterday, but the operation did not upset him to any great extent and he should be in condition to face the long- hitting Detroiters. If Ad's control is good he should give the Tigers plenty of_trouble. . | The . Tigers, despite their showing | acainst the Nationals, have been travel- ing a rtocky road. This morning they were in fifth place with a slender margin over the sixth-place Browns and well out of the first division. They were | eight games below the .500 mark, which is & tough spot at this stage of the sea- son. It has been rumored for some time that Detroit fans are after Bucky Harris' scalp and that the Detroit own- ership already is contemplating a change of management at the end of the season. But when a club is losing these fumors aiways crop out. Harris very | Tikely is doing the best anyone could with the material at hand. AIN stepped in to end hostilities yesterday between the Nationals and Indians before the second half of the sixth inning wes completed and threw_the result back to the fifth. But 1t perhaps saved the Tribe from a worse lcking, for the Nationals already had game tucked away, 7 to 0, and with Bump_Hadley pitching as he had, it seemed Manager Peckinpaugh's charges had little chance to overhaul the home side. ‘The rain did help the Nationals boost their standing, though, while they still ere in second place they are nearer the leading Athletics end more ahead of the ‘Yankees, who had their games washed out. Now the Washington club is just | #two games behind the pace seiters and 2 full game ahead of the New Yorkers. Sometimes inclement weather is a hoost to the Nationals. OOKS as though Bump Hadley is about ready to step out and be the pitcher those who have declared he should be. In three of his last four starts the chunky Lynn boy has hurled some very fine base ball. Go back to the game in Chicago, on June 11. Then Bump held the White Sox to two hits and no runs for seven innings. He was nicked for two more hitc: and a tally in the eight, and yanked, but only be- | cause the Nationals had been able to | collect but one run over a similar stretch. Against the Browns, several days later, Bump couldn’t get his bear- ings and was lifted from the slab early, but he had not been damaged much and the Nationals went on to win the game. Last Priday against the White Sox he | pitched a great game. He yielded but seven hits and two runs, but it was one of those days in which the Nationals) were not hitting and he was beaten by | one run. Any time a pitcher is licked only 2 to 1 these days he is pitching a ball game. GAINST the Tribe yesterday Had- ley was in fine fettle. Although | he gave up five hits in the first | five frames, which were legally charged | against him, he was never at a loss in | pinches. The first hit was a double by Clint Brown in the third inning after two were out and Clint never left sec- ond base. Dick Porter opened the fourth with a single and stuck at first until he was sent to third by Earl Averill's #ingle after two were out. Then Charley Jamieson lofted to Sam West. Gleen Myatt singled with one gone in the fifth | and moved only to second when Florida | Burnett singled with two out. This time Porter was easy, for he rolled to Joe Cronin. Those sixth-inning hits, which the Indians cannot put into their records, were not so hot. One was out when Johnny Hoddap managed to push a single past Bluege. Averill then got| a trick single in right and Jamieson filled the bases by dropping the ball in the same fleld while Harris, Myer and | Shires were waiting for an anotker | 1o make a catch. This did not annoy | Bump at all. He pitched calmly to the next two batters, and Joe Sewell, | affer watching three wide ones first| g0 past, which Hadley was trying to| get good, but not too good, and then | taking two strikes, lofted to Cronin.| Myatt gave the ball a solid wallop and lined it toward right, but Dave Harris| backed against the fence and leaped | high for a one-hand catch to stop pro- | ccedings. | LINT BROWN, right-hander of sensational young the Tribe, and| Ken Holloway did the pitching| against the Nationals. Off Brown, who was facing the Johnson band for the st time, all the hits and runs were made in four frames. It was a wild| throw by the pitcher that put over the first tally. Cronin walked to start the second session and Harris singled Joe to second. Shires popped to short | and Bluege grounded to the pitcher. | Brown tried to get Harris going into second, but threw wildly and Cronin | tallied. While the Indian infleld wa: trying to get Bluege, who endeavored 1o make second on the error, Harris altempted to reach home, but he was caught by Burnett’s relay of Hoddap's throw to Myatt. That one run was all for the second inning, but in the third the Nationals bombarded Brown for five hits and four runs. The first four hits were good uel. 'c. Hadley, Cleveland . Washington .

MAHAFFEY PROVING' AN ACE FOR MACKS BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW YORK, June 25.—Seldom is a championship won in the major leagues that a pitcher does not come from the land of nowhere into stardom. Plenty of instances may be cited when this has taken place. : 1t also is true that a team which has won a championship and is out for an- other occasionally is fortunate enough to get plenty of first aid from some un- known kid who happens into the thick | of the picture when some of the old fellows have gone by the board, or are about to go by. Here is Leroy Mahaffey, for instance, of this year's Athletics. To date this youngster has won six games and lost | one. That is a great stop gap for a team that has seen Howard Ehmke unconditionally released, that finds Rube Walberg going about 50-50, Jack Quinn about the same and George rnshaw not much better, The balance of winnings of the Ath- | letics rests with Lefty Grove and Ma- | haffey. If their victories were to be taken away from the “A's” the team would be in the second division. RES_ULTS IE MINORS AMERICAN ASSOCIATION, Toledo, 10; St. Paul. 1 Loulsville.

Art Shires, pinch’ hitting at first base now for the popular Judge, had a few snappy paragraphs to say last night over WRC about Joe. Art pald high tribute to the Griff veteran of 15 years service. “My hope is,” said Art, “is to stick around as long as Joe. If T can do that then Tl call myself +Whataman sure enough!” Art admitted he wasn't a great first- baseman yet, but declared he was sure to improve. He sald there would be much chance of his becoming great if the next 15 years are like his first two in_the majors. Shires said that while he was break- ing in with the White Sox that Judge voluntarily showed him a few tricks about playing first base. —— REDS WILL PLAY NIGHT GAME AT PEORIA FARM CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 25 t#).— The Cincinnati Reds will have the ex- perience of playing night base bail.

STAN, PEAKING of gameness— Tragedy stalked into the lives| of a group of small boys here not | s0 long ago. This little group was bemoaning the death of their manager, coach and,| above all, friend, Walter Neumas, late | manager of the Corinthian Athletic Club. The loss of this popular sandlot mentor was deeply felt by every mem- | ber of the various Corinthian teams. | Almost, every normal boy loves some | form of athletics, and all of Neuman's teams, the insects in particular, were lost_without their manager. | This insect team, composed of boys | ranging between the ages of 10 and 14 | years, wanted to play ball, and after a| lapse of almost a month went about| organizing the team and running it just | as they knew their former manager | would like to have it done. But small boys such as these cannot be expected to take over a job that even an ex-| perienced man sometimes finds difficult. | Now, there are hundreds of sandlot fans in the city, but few care to take | over a managerial job, for some reason | or other. Yet the efforts of this game little sandlot team began to bear fruit, and now it is back in the race, with H. K. McCarty as the new leader. Such a discouraging blow as fell upon these youngsters would cause many boys to give up. But the Corinthians—not by a long shot. Yesterday, in their first game in the Howard A. Prench Insect| League, the Corinthians were beaten by | a team which a short time ago was in much the same predicament—the Spud Coleman’s, who were also without a leader earlier this season until Spud happened along. But you can bet that, whether it's defeat or victory, two teams | such as these will continue to play ball. | And, after all, what really counts is how the game is played. Take, for instance, Huck Stahl, one of | the best infielders playing on the sand- | lots today. About four years ago, when Just reaching his peak as a ball player, | Huck was accidentally injured, seriously. | | But the love of the game made him | continue playing ball. Stahl's an in-| | fielder, and it’s no cinch to play on a| | sandlot diamond, knowing all the time | that a bad bound of a hard-hit ball| | may undo all that nature has healed. | Bill Flester, manager of the French | A. C., is a stanch admirer of Stahl and | | says, “Huck might have gone up but | for this accident, and it's my opinion | that Stahl is one of the best players | on the local sandlots.” | _ Marcus Chaconas, crack French out- | fielder, gave a rare demonstration of| gameness recently when the Frenchies journeyed to Frederick to play the Elks. | Chaconas was sent. to the mound be- | cause of a shortage of pitchers, | _And he showed that hitting and fly- | chasing aren't his only specialties—he | can- hold his own with many a hurler 'on the slab. For six innings he held the Elks scoreless and allowed but one | hit. 'Then in the seventh he came to bat, hit to the infield and while running | to first collided heavily with the first | baseman, who was standing on the bag. Chaconas was ‘“out” for almost five | minutes, but when he came to he went | into the box and finished the game on | nerve alone, and the Elks gleaned only three hits in the last two innings and managed to score but once, while the ‘nencmes crossed the plate eight times. Lou Hollis, G. P. O. outflelder, was | badly hurt in an automobile accident | last March and for a time it looked as |though his base ball days were over. But Lou still 1s shagging flies and bat- ting 'em out and is one of the shining lights on the Government Printing Of- fice team.
