BY JOHN B. KELLER. HICAGO, May 21.— With | Buddy Myer marking time | while his sprained left| wrist s!owly" heals, the Washington ball club misses the punch its second biseman pro- vided when he was in the line-up. | Jocko Hayes, filling in at the mid-| dle station, is playing a whale of a game afield. Buf all he has done offensively in the West is hit at a .115 rate, while Myer, before that tumble on the basepath in Cleve—! land put him out of commission, whacked for an average of .429 in this' secter. Manager Johnson intends to rush | Myer into the game as soon as the| layer says his hand is sufficiendly | ealed to permit him to play. Myer still claims he cannot grip a bat properly and no one seems to know how long it may be before he will be able to give his best to the Nationals. Johnson hopes | to have this strong hitter back in action | Saturday when the club tackles the Yankees in New York, but Myer's wrist has been so slow rounding into good | trim he may not be ready by that time. Only last Saturday Buddy’s wrist| scemed all but well and Trainer Mike Martin was confident the player would be able to take part in the St. Louis double-header the next day. But Buddy | declared on Sunday he was not ready to step into the line-up and apparently there has been little improvement in the wrist since the club moved here Monday. In the meantime the Nationals' attack is considerably weakened. Myer in four games out this way batted 21 times for 9 hits. Hayes in 7 games has batted 26 times for 3 hits. A great difference. D LISKA did the pitching in bat- ting practice yesterday, and if there still is anything wrong with | the right arm that sent the under- | hander to Lincoln. Nebr, for three weeks of treatment by a muscle manip- | ulator it wasn't noticeable during the workout. Liska chucked with plenty of speed and dished up a lot of curves. He pitched with a perfectly free and easy swing, too. After the drill Liska insist- ed the arm had not been tired more than it would be normally by such ex- ercise and that he would be ready to show how strong it is by pitehing to batters again today. The pitcher did not get through the drill without mishap, though. A batted ball struck him on the pitching wing Just below the elbow. It inflicted a painful though not serious injury, but prompt treatment by Trainer Martin quickly relieved the pitcher. Had the crive landed on Liska’s shoulder that has been causing him so much trouble the young man could haye counted him- self out for several more weeks. Heinie Manush hit the ball that hnded on Liska’s arm and it was well} t. | 'ANAGER JOHNSON late yesterday suddenly changed his plans for the | final game of the Western trip, | deciding to send Irving Hadley instead of Al Crowder to the hill against the | ‘White Sox, This Chicago club has| three or four hitters with a great| amount of power in their swings and after looking them over yesterday John- | son figured Hadley's fast one might prove more effective against the bg ys than Crowder's not-so-speedy 3 | With Brown slated to hurl against | the Yanks Saturday, looks as though Crowder will wait until Sunday to get a start again. At that, it seems well to hold him over for a club like the | Red Sox. | For the belated start of the White Box set Johnson yesterday juggled his sending the right-hand-hitting Dave Harris instead of one of the left- hand-swing Rices into right field and shing up Manush acd Cronin in the batting order to install Harris in the on.

OLUMBIA, Cornell and Harvard are the crews which have shown unmistakable . power and speed this season. Be- tween 1900 and 1916, Cornell won 11| races at Poughkeepsie. It did not win again until last year, but this present boatload from Ithaca is going to be | dangerous. Columbia won on the Hudson in 1914, | 1927 and 1929. Stanford finished sec- ond to Cornell in 1915, and since 1921 California and Washington eights have been prominent. Columbia has one of its greatest crews, so unless the West | sends on a pretty speedy shell, this sea- | son’s winner is likely to be an Atlantic | rather than a Pacific product. | As for the race at New London, Harvard has, in its premliminary work, | shown better than Yale, but that doesn't | mean much.
