Today's game at Philadelphia post- Poned on account of cold weather. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, Apirl 23.— Walter Johnson still has plenty of pitching to show the Athletics during the |f remainder of the Nationas’' stay in this town, despite the bumping Bump Hadley, right-hand star of Walter’s staff, took yesterday in| Philadelphia’s American League| fnaugural. The Washington pilot | has ready to thrust against the| world champions Sam Jones, Lloyd Brown and Fred Marberry. i and maybe Al Crowder, who| hasn’t been himself yet, will sud- | denly blossom into the fine slab- | bing form that made him so val- | uable to the Nationals last year. Then, too, there is a chance Hadley may be sent back to the hill before | the series here ends. Bump, ousted in | the first inning, did not have a chance to display his real worti yesterday. He declared his arm, which had been sore as a result of a cold in the muscles, | felt much better and that it did not pain him at all to pitch. But Bump | was in a tight situation, mainly be- | cause of his own fielding blunder, and | Manager Johnson felt compelled send another pitcher to the chunk slabman’s relief. Johnson has not made definite plans | for the Nationals' pitching in the re- mainder of this series. Against clubs of the Athletics' caliber the Washing- ton manager generally picks his huri- ers as the set progre rather than | fix upon certain of them before the set starts. The Nationals' standing in the series more than anything else de- | termines Johnson's choi: He intimated this mo would get the call tod: but said he | might switch to the left-handed Brown | 80 the right-handed veteran could get another day of rest. Jones pitched last Saturday while Brown worked Sunday. In all likelihood, the one that doesn't g0 today will be seen in action tomor- Tow. This program would leave John- son with Crowder, Marberry and Hadley for the final brush Saturday. Quite a formidable lot of mound stuff available for this battling with the world | champions, ONTENDING that “no team is straightened out to go forward and upward in the pennant race until | the pitching staff has a big five,” a veteran Philadelphia base ball scribe figures it will be several weeks before Connie Mack establishes his corps of regular arters, but that when it is established it 1 Grove, Walbarg younger Shores It doesn’t app: be long in settling upon his big and that whatever his selection may t should more than equal in pitching strength the one Connie names. i ing that Jones | | Hand it to Grove.

YANKS AND CARDS GET FINE PITCHING Braves, Too, Held Up in Race | by Twirlers—Zachary Blanks Robins. BY GAYLOR TALBOT. JR. Associnted Press Sports Writer. HERE still is nothing that quite takes the place of old-fashioned, ! airtight pitching when it comes | to winning ball games. And it takes no more than a cursory examina- tion of the records up to now to discover | why the St. Louis Card'nals and Boston | Braves are setting the National l.vafl‘lr back on its heels, nor w \ Ynnkf‘c< are doing like | "nm Have been! gebting! scme ! swell | pitching. In seven games the Cards’ ‘great mound staff has allowed only 19 | runs, considerably under 3 to the con- | test. and the Braves' surprisingly stout staff has given up only 28 scores in nine | tilts. Yankee moundsmen have held | ‘nrponenh to 29 runs in eight games | and five of their starting pitchers have been in at the finish. This would seem to be as good an answer as any to the skeptics who wondered what the Yanks would do for pitching this season.

HARTIG, golf profes- | sional at the Army-Navy Country Club for the last three years and the only American golf profes- | | sional who has won the coveted Vic- toria Cross in battle, has notified officers of the service club that he will leave his | post on May 31. Hartig has completed a deal with the management of the Saranac Inn Coun- | | try Club of Saranac, N. Y.. to take over | the professional duties at that club early | ia June. His successor has not been | named and eflorts are being made to | induce him to remain at his post here. | Hartig, the first professional the big | service club has had in its short exist- | ence, is highly, popular with the mem- bers and has worked unceasingly for | the club interests.

The | Yankees were at bat. The Babe doubled |and sid into second. Lou Gehrig singled and Ruth pulled up lame as he | swung across third. His left ankle appeared to be bothering him and play was suspended while he rubbed his leg. As play continued, Tony Lazzeri flied to Webb. Charlie Berry, Red Sox catcher, tried to blagk Ruth at the plate and the Babe tripped over Berry's legs in the tangle. Ruth grinned, | galned his feet, and walked briskly to | the Yankee bench. The Yankee fielder's leg appeared all right as he walked to his position when the Sox came to bat. Then Tom Oliver, Red Sox heavy hitter, belted one out into Ruth’s ter- ritory. While the Babe was chasing the ball his left leg buckled and he fell to the ground. A squad of Yankees car- ried him from the field and he was taken to the hospital after a hasty ex- amination at the dressing room. EW YORK, April 23 (#)—The in- jury which sent Babe Ruth to a hospital in Boston vesterday is one of a series of misfortunes which have pursued him for 10 years Playing against the White Sox in Chicago in July, 1925, he was injured in a manner similar to that of yester- | day. Racing after a fly ball, he wrench- | ed his left side and was out of the line- |up for a few days | “His most serious illncse came earlier in the same season. Returning from | the training camp with influenza, he fell | while getting off the train and injured his head. Later an abscess was removed | from his back.
