' Sports News | I @h z én T0 PLAY 6 GAMES N 40AY SN Fischer, New Nat Hurler, Has Good Record—Uhle Balks Johnsonites. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, July 15—Through | Ko with the Tigers for a month, following today’s series closer, the.Nationals next will tackle the Indians in Cleveland. Tomorrow afternoon, at Dunn Field, a set of six games is scheduled to start, and if Wal- ter Johnson's charges battle the Tribe as they have done, they should bag four of them. Past performances don't seem to mean much with the Nationals where these Western _clubs are concerned, though. They had the Tigers licked, seven games to three, before stepping into Detroit this time, then proceeded to_lose a series to the Harris horde. With the Tigers pressing them for fourth place the Indians recently have braced decidedly. Well beaten in the East and trimmed in a set after re- turning_to the West early this month Roger Peckinpaugh's aggregation sud- denly took a new lease on life. The Indians have won seven of their last nine games, which is better than the Nationals have done. The Johnson band will have to look to its laurels at Dunn Field. OUBLE-HEADERS will open and close the series in Cleveland which wil make it a severe test for the ‘Washington pitching staff. For one of the games tomorrow Manager Johnson will send Al Crowder to the box, but the pitching in today's wind-up: here was to determing the choice for the other part of the Cleveland twin bill. 8Should Fred Marberry idle today he will share the mound task with Crowder. Otherwise, Irving Hadley, who toiled but two rounds yesterday, or Ad Liska probably will get the call. 'OHNSON again has an idea of using Bob Burke as a starting hurler oc- | casionally instead of keeping the ¥oung left-hander in reserve for re- ief duty only. Burke's performance against the Tigers Sunday after reliev- ing Sam Jones in the fourth inning was so impressive that the Washing- ton manager believes the young fellow | can give his club a fine game if not used too often. Burke has much natural pitching ability, but not the strength to enable him to pitch at top speed frequently. He has to have plenty of rest between mound appearances if he is to have more than the amount of speed he ordinarily employs when emergencies arise. Bob has a fair assortment of stufff and is cool, but to be a success- ful pitcher must have in addition the ability to bear down in erises withouts exhausting himself. Burke can do this, but only when his sessions on the hill are widely spread. ILE Liska has not been able to do much recently Manager John- son figured he will have to use the submarine hurler in the Cleveland series that his regular starters may get back on schedule. Two double-headers in four days are calculated to upset any mound staff and that of the Na- tionals seems in need of steadying. It has slumped to some extent after more weeks of exceptionally fine t00, is to work in the Cleve- land set and, according to Johnson, will be used so that he may also hurl in the series with the Browns and the White Sox to follow. Johnson thinks Jones, having pitched but three in- nings on Sunday, can come back after the first day in Cleveland. Should he start Thursday he could face the| Browns next Tuesday and the White Sox a week from Sunday in the wind—l up of this Western invasion. Such a| program would give Sam four days of rest between games, the amount he appears to need to be at his best when he steps to the hill. ITCHING for a club that was un- unable to win half its games in the International League last season, Carl_Fischer, left-hander, bought by the Nationals yesterday from Newark, shows a good record for his work in 1929.

DOUBLE PLAYS | | CHICAGO, July 15 (P).—With a re- vamped infleld, the lowly White Sox, in the first four games of their present se- ries, with the New York Yankees, have made 13 double plays, and in the first game of yesterday's double-header tled the American League record of five. ‘The 8] and prechl&l.{l of the 'ni;, field was remarked, :Tec ly because is less than a week old, and makeshift at that. Watwood, at first base, is an outfielder, temporarily replacing Bud earned runs per nine innings he rated | Clan 14 among the circuit’s hurlers and with 18 victories against 13 defeats he rated twelfth on a won-and-lost basis. Pretty good pitching in every way with a sec- ond-division outfit. Fischer was the strikeout king of the International League last year. In the 33 games in which- he participated he struck out 191. And that in 248 in- nings. He was inclined to be wild, for he issued 112 passes, made four wild pitches and hit 10 batters. ‘The new National in 1929 pitched 21 compiete games and finished one as a rellef hurler. Among his wins were four shutouts. OTH Manager Johnson and Presi- Wi dent Griffith, who have seen Fisch- | er work, declare he has much needed to make him a good pitcher and when he perfects a curve and change of pace he should be a winner. He had by far the best fast ball in the Inter- s national League, they declare. Pischer, who left the Newark club at ‘Toronto to join the Nationals here, was to hop into uniform for his first big | league workout this afternoon. YLES THOMAS, sent to Newark as part payment for Fischer, prom- ised to be of much value to the Nationals early in the season, but after the campaign was under way a few weeks the right-hander lost much of his effectiveness and was es little help\ to the Johnson band as he had been for some time to the Yankees, from which bunch he was procured last midseason by waiver. Thomas, though, leaves the Nationals in splendid trim physically and prob- ably has enough pitching ability to do good work for the class AA club to which he goes. He left early today to Join Newark. (OLVING the delivery of Irving Had- ley with ease, the Tigers beat the Nationals for the third time in four starts in the current series, 8 to 4. Hadley lasted only two innings, in each of which he was reached for three hits, a pass and three runs. Then Lloyd Brown took up the pitching for the Nationals and did a good job of it. He gave up seven hits and a walk in six innings, but in only one inning were the Tigers able to cross the plate at his expense. They backed a walk with three hits in the seventh for two tallies. Brown looked very good on the hill. Off the veteran George Uhle, whose curve was in fine oredr, the Nationals collected but eight safeties, and as these were confined to four innings they did not help much. A triple, sacrifice fly, single and double netted but one marker in the first frame, as Harris, the second hitter, was flagged at the plate when he attempted to count on the third hit. cy. Cissel and Kerr have taken the sec- ond-basing job during the Sox-Yankee series; Mulleavy, up from Toledo less than a month, is the shortstop, and Jeffries, another youngster, and Willie Kamm have been third-basing it.

C, URTHER evidence the Washington club man- agement is overlooking no bets in an effort to annex a third American League pennant is found in the deal announced yesterday whereby the left-hand-hurling Carl Fischer becomes a Na- tional in exchange for Myles Thomas and an unnamed, but undoubtedly large, bundle of cash, that went to the Newark club of the International League. This trade is a considerably more involved affair than ap- pears on the surface and re- quired a deal of wire pulling, for at least half a dozen ath- letes figure in the juggling that was necessary to engineer it. According to our agent in Newark, only the desperate need for fortifying that team, which has dived to seventh place, induced its owners to part with such a promising performer as Fischer, upon whom Manager John McGraw of the Giants just a few weeks ago held an option for $50,000, which he decided not to exer- cise in the belief the young man needed a bit more polish- ing. What Newark has done in its efforts to fortify is to take a sizable amount of the wad re- ceived from the Nationals and ship it along with Catcher Bob Munn to Buffalo in return for title to the services of Second Baseman Herb Thomas, Catch- er Charles Hargreaves, the for- mer Pirate, and Pitcher Leo Mangum, who once wore a Washington uniform. FAR more accurate line was available on Fischer than usually is thc case in deals of this sort, for Walter Johnson became thorougnly acquainted with his capabilities while pil- TUESDAY, JULY 15, ON THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON oting the Newark outfit year before last, and is convinced he has the makings of a real major leaguer. Originally brought to New- ark from Medina, ., by Charles Davids, former owner of the Bears, Fischer was farmed to Scranton of the New York-Pennsylvania League in 1927 and recalled the following year when, under the tutelage of Johnson, he became the strikeout champion of the cir- cuit, registering a total of 198 whiffs. According to keen judges of mound talent, Fischer has been endowed by nature with a su- perb constitution and batsmen of the International will testify he is a formidable flinger to face, his lprlm:lple asset being a fast ball that really is fast. On the strength of his show- ing with Newark his first year Fischer was expected to prove a super-star among Class AA flingers in 1929, but he took the plunge into the matrimonial sea and the added responsibil- ities seemed to affect his work. He started this Spring like a house afire, reeling off half a dozen victories in succession, but then slumped along with the rest of his mates, a lack of control being his principal fault. What the youngster—he’s only 25—needs probably more than anything else is a good handler. He had one in John- son two years ago, when he flashed so brilliantly, and now has him again. If he can ac- quire a change of pace under the coaching of Boss Barney to add to his “swift” Fischer ought to make good in a big lefthanded way with the Na- tionals, for he was regarded as one of the most promising pitching prospects in a_circuit which is just a trifle short of major caliber. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. HE Government Printing Office team of the Government League, which has this “chain-store” system down pat, is not having much success. G. P. O. has a team in both the Gecv- ernment and the Departmental Leagues and is not faring so well in either. Undoubtedly the team in the Depart- mental is the weaker, but so is the loop. Now those faithful fans who trot out to watch D. C. Repair Shop run away with the Departmental League, but who want to see the other clubs make a race of it, are making quite a bit of unfavor- able comment about Pop Shomo's club having strings on the other G. P. O. bunch. team has a e Departmental League verbal agreement with Shomo that no player on the Government G. PfO. club can play in the other circuit unless it is absolutely necessary. But, vice versa, it s quite all right to take players over to the Government League to strengthen the Shomo-coached team. It seems that when this team was faltering after leading Naval Hospital and the other contenders for a while in the first half, Shomo got Rip Sole, who was leading the Departmental Lgague batters with a .520 mark. His next addition was Hardy, who batted but 4 points lower than Sole. Then 8-0 Lead Means Little In Sunday School Loop ‘The boys surely know their slug- fests in the Georgetown Church League. In a recent game, a spectator who had just arrived remarked to a play- er who was just coming in from the fleld, “Looks like you fellows are go- ing to be licked all right. They've got you 8 to 0 already.” “Yeh, I know,” hollered back the phg.er. “but we haven't got our raps All the league games aren't like that, however. Sometimes they're better and sometimes they're worse. FOUR CONTESTS CARDED FOR WRESTLING SHOW Milto Steinborn and Frank Bunowicz will grapple in the feature bout of the weekly wrestling card tonight at the Washington ‘Auditorium. Chief White Feather, Indian, will come to grips with Paul Jones in the semi-final. George Calza and Jesse Hansen and George Kiatt and Rough House Olsen are to meet in other encounters, the last two in the curtain raiser, starting at 8:30 o'clock.

O. came Jones, one of the leading pitchers in the circuit. But while this criticism of Shomo is being made, it is only fair to mention the fact that he has been more or less up against it. Pirst, Sam Simon was hurt and lost for the season. Then Schneider went down with a sore arm and Lawson followed with knee injury. Lisensky is out now with pneumonia, it is said. And Bobby Lyon was out of the game for a while. So what's good for one team is not so hot for the other, hence the “chain- store” system is convenient for Shomo. But the others in the Government League don't approve, for G. P. O. is the only club to have two teams. It is said that there will be only one G. P. O. team next year. Queries have been pouring in as to whether the first half winner of the Georgetown Church League is West ‘Washington Baptist, and if not, which team fis. Nobody seemed to know for sure until yesterday, though it was generally | 23, supposed that it was West Washington, via the forfeit route But now comes the announcement that this all-impor- tant game will be played Saturday at 3 o'clock. It may be recalled that Grace Episco- pal, which tied for West Washington at the end of the season, lost several play~ ers who went out of town for July 4. The Baptists claimed the title. But later Alton Darne, Baptist man- ager, agreed to play it off. TILE SETTERS AGAIN SHOW THEIR PUNCH It appears that if any team is going to beat the Tile Setters it will have to be found outside of the Industrial League. The W. B. Hibbs team had fans thinking that it was going to do the trick yesterday—for eight innings. ‘The score was tled, 4-all, and Dickout, Hibbs pitcher, was having the better of a duel with Anderson. But that wallop that the Tile Setters carry didn’t come to life until the ninth inning, and with two out, the ball was started and kept rolling all over the lot. When the final out was registered, six runs had chalked up. Wesley McDonald’s Interstate -team apparently is going to see that Naval Hospital has no walkaway in this sec- ond half of the Government League. When this half started, Interstate started off with a 4-to-3 victory over Naval Hospital. Fans, however, de- clared that the McDonaldmen were just playing over their heads. Then they dropped a game and it looked as though the dopesters were right. But since then, Interstate has maintained a steady winning streak and by virtue of its 7-to-6 win ,over G P. O. yesterday, the Interstaters are in_second place. The game had the 2,000 on pins and needles all the way. Departmental League fans are look- ing forward to Friday. On this day, Commerce, which cap- tured the runner-up position in the first half, battles D, C. Repair Shop, the team that swept through the open- ing section, losing only one game. Just another Church League tie! Ten ties have marked play in this loop 0 far this season. West Washing- ton and Eldbrooke M. E. fought a 5-to-5 draw yesterday. Darkness halted play. Incidentally, this Eldbrooke club looks as though it was going to have something to say about the Sunday School gonfalon. George Fletcher, Mike Hunt and Bob Fuchs, all former Western High ath- letes, are pushing Eldbrooke upward. G. P. 0.

Berberi SPLIT WITH YANKS IN WEIRD DISPLAY Chisox Pull Five Double Plays to Equal Mark—Lead in Standings. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HE Chicago White Sox may be struggling along in the second division of the American League, but they still have the profitable faculty of doing the unusual at the un- usual time to pep up an otherwise drab ball game. Always known as a team capable of playing champlonship ball one day and then going to the other extreme 2i hours later, or even earlier, the Sox yesterday produced a few more varieties in the way of base ball entertainment as they divided a double bill with the New York Yankees. The opener went to the Sox, 10 to 9, in a long, weird affair that lasted one minute short of three hovis, while the Yankees took the nightcap—a tame af- fair compared with the first—by the score of 7 to 2 in two hours and four minutes. It was in the first game, how- ever, that the Chicago Southsiders did the unusual, They started off by pulling four er- rors to help the Yanks into a big lead. ‘This advantage soon was wiped out by a savage attack, with the result that | the teams went into the last halt of the ninth tied at 9-all. With two out and Reynolds, the fleet Texan, perched on_third, Watwood came through with a hit that went for a single, although Lazzeri juggled the ball for a moment, and the game was over ‘To aid the cause of their three pitch- ers, the Sox also tied the American League double-play record, pulling five. Fourteen men were left stranded on tie base paths, however, which, with the nine in the second game, gave the Sox a grand total of 61 left on bases in five games, which is probably some sort of a record. Two Homers for Gehrig. Lou Gehrig featured the Yankees' part in the double-header, getting his twenty-second home run in the opener 1and his twenty-third in the second con- test. Incidentally, Manager Bob Shaw- | key found a pitcher in Charles Ruffing that could go nine innings, the Boston cast-off winning the second. It took the Athletics 11 innings to defeat the St. Louis Browns, but they finally managed to eke out a 9-to-7 decision and increasé their lead in the | junior circuit to two full games as | Washington fell before the up and com- !ing Detroit Tigers, 8 to 4. The Browns tied the champions in the eighth and again in the ninth, but could not equal the two runs in the eleventh. Lefty Grove went to the rescue of Quinn, who had relieved Earnshaw, in the eighth and received credit for the victory. In the other American League con- test the Indians made it three straight over the Red Sox, winning, 3 to 2, when | Wesley Ferrell bested Milton Gaston in 1a hurling duel. It was Ferrell's thir- teenth victory. Only one game was played in the Na- tional League, but the Brooklyn Robins increased their lead to three games as they downed the Pirates, 12 to 8. Given an early lead, Dazzy Vance breezed along without much trouble behind the powerful bat of Glenn Wright, who drove in seven runs and scored four on two homers and a like number of sin- gles. Traynor also hit for four bases. RACING OFFICIAL DIES. BALTIMORE, July 15 (#).—Clarence |1.
