Features and Classified | PAGE C—1 Uncertain Nat Attack Worries Johnson : Pennock Is Surprise Help to Yankees FORCES PITCHERS TOPRESS ALL WAY ;- Pilot Fears Staff Is Apt to|Eie Falter if Batters Do Not Function Soon. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, April 22.— Proud of their record of five victories in seven starts since the American League season began last week, the Na- tionals were to encounter the| Athletics here this afternoon in the inaugural not only of a four- game series with the world cham- pions, but also of the junior major circuit’s season in this city. Al- though hopeful of his club’s suc- cess in the battling here, Manager ‘Walter Johnson is beginning to| fret over some of his supposedly star batters who are not batting and wondering how his pitching staff will shoulder the burden if these swatsmiths do not deliver more frequently in the near fu- ture. 1In their seven games at home the Na- tionals batted for only a puny .277 average and they had to do a deal of hitting yesterday to make it that high. | Nothing lke the batting that must be done over a long stretch by a club with championship aspirations. The Wash- ington club is fortunate indeed to have h?ed 50 many wins while hitting so lightly. There's really but one reason for its fine progress to date—super- ite ¥ to the pitchers to hing. But putting it u& ‘carry on day after day while the batting | order isn’t functioning properly is likely to result in a collapse of the entire It's too m\lchmw n;:od o{“t;he ftchers, no matter how ey !vnllhl be under pressure at times. John- | son has every reason to be fretful over the lack of hitting. It is well that the Washington pitch- th perhaps one or two mem- is in such splendid con- looks as though it may have brunt of the battle for some the batters get into their strides. So far those here- upon as stalwarts in attack badly and have not in- may step out soon and the ball as formerly. OSE of the Washington club who v H B pa Gkt One | credit i 2 5 the reports in .n! ):-’;ue most of the pitchers are 'way ahzad of the batters.” “Do you think the bigger stitchzs in the cover account in any way for the ter pitching, Heinie?” ‘Well, I've thought of that, of course, but I don’t know whether they are helping the pitchers,” h> replied, “I do | 3t know that the new ball shouldn’t bother | f the batter. If it is hit right it will go just as far as the one in use last season and before. It does scem, though. that the pitchers have something they didn't have before at this stage of the season. Maybe theyll lose it before long, how- ever. Then watch the hitters knock ‘em off that hill.” C'AMMY WEST is having trouble with his arm again. The flashy outfielder has fully recovered from | the fiu attack that laid him low not so | long ago and feels strong in every re- | spect except in that left wing. Only last weesk Sammy reported the swelling gone from his arm, but yester- day complained of it again and today is recelving treatment from Trainer Mike Martin. An examination is to be made of-the ailing memb-r and while none closely connected will admit the trouble is cially serious it may be that the outfielder will have to undergo an operation on the left elbow. It is rumored that a surgeon who | helped examine West's arm in Wash- ington last Winter when the player| went there from Texas at the order of the club has hinted tI the original diagnosis of the ailment—inflamma- tion of the elbow, due to a bone chip embedded in the joint—is likely to be substantiated by another examination, and that an operation to remove the | cause of the trouble would be neces-| sary. G OW a ball club can be perfectly | awful cne day and how classy the next was demcnstrated in no uncertain way by ths Nationals in their Jast two gemes with the Red Sox.

FULLERTON, Jr., Associated Press Sports Writer. ILL McKECHNIE, a successful pllot of base ball clubs for a good many years, seems to be meeting with success in his ef- forts to build up the Boston Braves even sooner than he expected. Mc- Kechnie took over the Boston man- agement last year under a four-year contract, which, he said, would give him just about enough time to change a losing club into one which stood a good chance of g. The first eight games this season already have put the Braves into the light of a pennant contender. Boston now is second htheNltmfi :!th six victories to g and won his full id also has won Socks Seibo! and e that is P the | most completed, as are the trap houses, Herb Pennock likewize gave a seven-hit performance to win his second straight game. - Cleveland had a real battle . With the game apparently won for Cleveland, Jonathan Stone hit his homer of the season for De- troit and brought in three tallies of a four-run rally that tied the score. The Indians came back in their half of'the to get the run. Cold weather in the West :m:ped the two clashes of the Chicago 8t. Louis teams, while Cincinnati and Pittsburgh had no game scheduled.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, April 22.— Kenesaw Mountain Landis’ absolute dic- tatorship over organized base ball was strengthened today by Federal court recogniticn. The recognition was advanced yester- day by Federal Judgs Walter Lindley, who not only dismissed a suit for an | injunction to curb the commissioner’s powers in the case of Outfielder Fred Bennett, but recognized him as the “ab- solute despot” of organized base ball. “The various agreements between the major and the minor leagues and rules, | constituting a complete code for or- | ganized base ball in America,” ruled | Judge Lindley, “disclose a clear intent | on the part of the parties to endow the commissioner with all the attributes of | a benevolent but absolute despot and | all the disciplinary powers of the pro- verbial pater familias.” | | Wins All Points. | Milwaukee, through the St. Louis club of the American League, sought an in- Jjunction in the case last Summer when | Commissioner Landis ordered St. Louts | either to waive Bennett to the other | major leagues, sell him to some other | club not connectsd with the St. Louis | club or to release him outright. St.| Louis refused, sending him to the Mil- | waukee club, of which St. Louis is part | owner, and the commissioner ruled | Bennett a free agent under the rule that no player can be controlled for | more than two years by one club with- | out an opportunity to play major league | base ball. The suit for injunction was heard in Federal Court here last Feb- ruary, after which Judge Lindley de- bated his decision until he rendered it yesterday. | Judge Lindley upheld Commissicner Landis at every point in the legal fight, | the first to confront the commissioner | since he took office 10 years ago. Attorneys for the Milwaukee club said ther planned to carry the fight to the Circuit Court of Appeals. D. C.

EW YORK, April 22.—Herb Pennock, the experts agreed two years ago, was “all through.” But if you can,find any more like him right now there’s an opening or two on the New York Yankees’' roster. Stricken with a severe and per- sistent attack of neuritis in his educated left arm, Pennock wasn't much use to the Yankees in 1929, when, for the first time in his career as a Yankee, he lost more games than he won. Last year he showed enough improvement to win 11 games while losing 7. The chances are that Joe McCarthy, new boss of the Yankees, did not bank very much on the 37-year-old southpaw, when he lald his plans for the 1931 campaign, but already Pennock has staged a remarkable comeback and af- forded “Marse Joe” with at least a part solution for his pitching problems. Pennock, generally rated as the smart- »st of all present-day pitchers, has start- ed twice in the seven games the Yankees have played so far, gone the route and an o uns hits in 18 innings. e Control His Forte. In his first start on April 16, Herb outpitched Horace Lisenbee of the Red Sox to win a 1-0 decision. Yesterday he held the slugging Philadelphia Ath- Ietics to seven hits, three of which came in the ninth inning and produced the A's only run, while his teammates ‘ontrol n the principal factor in Pennock’s ability to k‘!’fep xuow atter 18 years in the majors.
