JUNIOR HAS FALLEN o o g g INTO A PUDDLE OF ; Y ONLY 3 1:2 GAMES ¢ IN REAR OF CUBS WHITEHILL FACES , SANDLOT PITCHERS GRIFFMEN N FINAL Hogsett Was Likely Choice Today—Bengals Romp to Sunday Victory. BY JOHN B. KELLER. URING the remainder of their serles with the Tigers the Nationals prob- ably will face a lot of left- hand pitching. It seems that Manager Bucky Harris, instead of sending his capable right-hander, Waite Hoyt, into action here as a starter, plans to call on his two prize southpaws, Elon Hogsett and Earl Whitehill. This big Indian, Hogsett, has been mighty effective against the Nationals at times and so has Whitehill. Since he showed here last, Whitehill has been setting the league afire with his slabbing, too. Harris was expected to have Hogsett on the hill this afternoon and guite likely will finish the series with White- hill in action tomorrow. Manager Wal- ter Johnson was to counter with !rvln! Hadley today according to overnigh plans. Tomorrow the home pilot prob- ably will make the game a tussle tween southpaw slabmen by employing Lioyd Brown. Getting licked yesterday reduced the Nationals’ advantage over the third- lace Yankees to two games. The New ‘orkers are crowding the Nationals too much for comfort, so Manager Johnson may use Dave Harris instead of Sam West in the outfleld against the Detroit lefthanders. That would mean the shifting of Sam Rice to center field with Harris going into right. Harris might be much more effective ‘at bat_than West against the southpaw, Johnson Tholds. 'HIS Detroit Club is no bargain for Al Crowder. Ever since he has been in the league the Tigers have troubled him. It's the one outfit that seems to have the sign on him. He has scored few decisions over the Tigers and they have licked him often. In the tilting yesterday at Griffith Stadium the General got just about the worst gunuhment ever handed him by De- oit. ‘The Tigers socked almost every- thing hie tossed up to them and when they were not hitting their way to the base-paths Crowder's wildness was put- ting them on. They specialized in double-making, three of the four hits gleaned off the General in the first inning and the enly one off him in the second being good for two bases each. With such pounding they had the game in hand right after its beginning. What they did not do to Crowder they did to Ad Liska, three of the seven hits off the relief hurler g_doubles. Then they turned on Carl Pischer and slammed his left-hand stuff so soundly that at the finish of the pitcher-mauling the Tigers' win read 15 to 1. ! A LL told, the Tigers collected 17 safe- ties, eight of them two-baggers. They also got four passes and two of their batters were hit by pitched balls. Crowder kicked in with a wild pitch and there were five Washington errors. No wonder the Harris horde romped to victory! They hopped on Crowder for five runs in the first inning. Two doubles and & Tun followed the first retirement and after the second retirement Crowder filled the bases by walking two. Along came Ted Easterling with a double and three runs crossed. Hayworth’s single tallied Easterling before the savage sttack was ended by Sorrell's strikeout. Crowder was no better at the start of the second . Funk nicked him for a double and the pitcher hit Koenig. That brought Liska to the hill. Lisk: got Gehringer out, but an error by ‘Myer and two singles put over two runs and left the bases crowded. Again ‘Easterling doubled to drive across two more markers. A single by Hayworth and Rice's boot of the hit accounted | for the fifth and sixth tallies of the| WATER AND HUNG OUuUT To il 1S NOw COMPELLED To WEAR SISTERS CLOTHING WHILE HIS OQwN-~ 1S STOP THAT wHNING' Youtt HAVE To WEAR DoroTHY'S DRESS UNTIL YouR PANTS n v AR T i )\'Mw\’,'f"‘ Syt I e zrmn Honey Boy Russell Turns Out To Be a Bee to O’Brien Team BY FRANCIS E. STAN. GROUP of C. A. O'Briens today are wondering just how this Everett Russell, who cavorts with Olmsted Grill and Tech High, got the name “Honey Boy.” Russell was anything but sweet to the O'Briens, who yesterday lost the first game of the series for the Cap- ital City League senior championship, when “Honey Boy” treated some 3,000 fans to a dramatic climax of a ding- dong battie. From the drop of the hat both teams went at it fire and tongs. The lead see-sawed, and then came the eighth 2 | inning, with Olmsted trailing, 4 to 2. ‘The bases were loaded and Russell, who previously had singled and doubled, smacked a single to tie the score. The ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth innings were played, but neither team was able to break the ice. dizzy round. Fischer started pitching in the sixth| and he was hammered for runs in the | seventh and ninth innings, each time after he had retired the first two bat-| nobody on base and the score still tied, | ters, | 1C SORRELL did the pitching for | |V the Tigers and while the Nationals | % got eight hits and two passes ofll him, while Gehringer made an error, only once were as many as two hits clustered in one inning. That was the second, In which the Nationals regis- tered their lone counter. It was the Tesult of Kuhel's triple and West's infield retirement. ‘The other hit in the round, Spencer's single with two out, was wasted, as was all else the Na- tionals did on attack outside the second session.

But in the thirteenth, with two out, Everett “Honey Boy” Russell caught one of Frank Carter’s fast ones plumb on the nose, and, boy, how that apple traveled! “That guy may be ‘Honey Boy' to some people,” murmured an O'Brien, while Russell circled the bases, “but to use he’s a doggone bee!” Russell went the route on the mound, allowing only nine hits, ICK NELSON, Tech High quarter- back, made one of the snappiest catches of the season when he fell to his knees to take & hot liner from the bat of “Whitey” Plefer, Cath- olic University outfielder, in the sixth. | RECORDS OF GRIFFS l BATTING.
