PAGE C—-1 Hadley Flashes Class Against Tribe : Nationals Reduce A’s Lead to 3 1-2 Games CHECKS SLUGGERS, WHO TOPPLE BROWN - Pitcher Reveals Worth t Griffs—Cronin Not Badly Hurt—Indians Routed. BY JOHN B. KELLER. RVING HADLEY, if he is ready to pitch more base ball of the l after rushing to the relief of Lloyd Brown, his left-handed staffmate, would seem a too val- uable bit of material for the Na- tionals even to consider using in a | {pen trade, as it has been rumor.d re- cently he would be. Turning back the Indians so successfully as he did for six and be one-third innings, Hadley looked every inch a big league pitcher, a pitcher any club could well afford to have on its pay roll. Rump stepped into the battle after Brown, experlencing only his second poor turn on the hill this season, had been slapped right, left and center by | the Tribe that seemed in a mood to | continue pounding everything that came | its way. He soon got his bearings and, | once he did, the enemy was at his | mercy. Hadley deserved the victory | credited to him. Six hits, three of them extra-base | blows; a pass and six runs had been | gleaned off Brown. Willle Kamm, first batter to face Hadley, socked the ball | as though he meant business. A bril- | lant jumping catch of the liner by Joe | Kuhel, though, snuffed the Cleveland | rally, and from then on Hadley showed | real class. | N all, the Indians three hits and | two passes off Hadley. He pitched six strikeouts, three in the fifth frame. It wes in the fifth he showed plenty of courage, for after Dick Porter fanned at the outset Johnny Hodapp | tripled and Earl Averill drew a pass, | with the dangercus Eddie Morgan and Jim Vosmik coming up. But Bump | tightened to throw a third one by Mor- | gan and then strike out Vosmik. Averill's homer, hit at the start of the eighth, unbalanced Hadley a trifle, per- haps, for only fine catches by Dave | Harris and Heinfe Manush got the next two batters, but thereafter the relief pitcher performed with remarkable smoothness again. Pinch-batter Bib Falk's double did not come until two were out in the ninth and Porter was eastly handled to end the game. Hadley looked good, very good—better than at any time since he went the route to topple the Athletics on April 15. Those in charge of the Nationals would have to think more than twice before letting him go. 'HAT bruising of his right shoulder Ji onin suffered yesterday when hit by one of Mel Harder's fast ones in the second inning is said not to be ‘particularly serious and may nct keep the crack batter and shortstop out of the Nationals’ line-up longer than a day or two, if that much. An X-ray taken of the injured shoul- der Jast night by the club physician re- vealed no chipping of the shoulder blade, and the contusion was reported much more painful than serious. It was, by the way, the second injury of the game for Joe. In the first inning he had the index finger of his right hand slightly lacerated when he caught a i return from Right Fielder Dave Harris. Joe, though, did not retire from the game until thie third inning was over. hen Ossie Bluege was shifted from third base to shortstop and Jack Hayes gent to the hot corner. The enforced retirement snapped Cronin's string of | consecutive games with hits at the 18 mark, for yesterday in two trips to the | plate he walked and was hit. INNING 12 to 5, the Nationals for the second time this season ran a victory streak to six games and gained on the league-leading Athletics, who bowed to a St. Louis rookie in | Philadelphia. Winning as the A’s lost was something the Johnson band long had waited for, and now it is just 3! games behind the pacemakers. There was much old-fashioned slug- ging in the affair, with the Nationals doing the most, for they collected 15 hits, but Indians smote two of the three homers that thrilled the ssembled fans. Morgan and Averill socked the four- basers for the visitors. Harris hit his first of the season for the home side. Clint Brown, Mel Harder and Fay ‘Thomas were tke Tribal hurlers who made the game so pleasant for the Washington batters. HOMER by Morgan staked the In- dians to a three-run getaway. When he clouted the ball over the right field barrier, Hodapp, who had walked, was on third. and Averill, who had singled, was on first, with one out. ‘The Nationals in their first batting turn went the Tribe one better and chased Clint Brown to the shower in getting ahead. Myer tripled, and after Manush was struck out passes to Cro- nin and Harris crowded the stations. West's single drove over two runs, and Kuhel's sent in the tying tally and brought Harder to the starting pitcher's rellef. West, who reached third as Kuhel hit, got home after Vosmik gath- ered in Bluege's foul to put Johnson's charges in front. In the second the Nationals twice dented the plate. Myer and Manush hit and Cronin was hit to load the sacks. Myer counted as Harris was thrown out, and West's infield erasure let Manush score. The Indians got a run in the third round that put Lloyd Brown out of the icture. With two out, Morgan dou- led, Vosmik tripled, and Hadley took Lloyd's place on the hill. Here Kuhel ared Kamm's liner to check the -eatening Tribe. The Nationals had three scoring in- nings thereafter, the seventh round netting them four runs when Thomas was wild and was hit hard. Averill's homer in the eighth was the only In- dian counting after the third frame. Homer Standing By the Associated Press. Home Runs Yesterday.

REPAIR TEAM LEADER N STARS Has Five Men on Nine Picked From Among Players in Weekday Loops. T has become an old sandlot cus- tom for some of the braver of the observing gentry to pick all-star end first and second half races. After the “expert” choice, it scmetimes has en necessary for these daring league prexvs, scorers and umpires to do a large amount of expert dodging. No matter if these critics called upon | all their expertness or drew the names | frcm a hat, all of your sandlotters would not be satisfled. To simplify matters, the choosers of today's all-star nine, which is that of the Departmental League, will re- main anonymous, though President Vic Guazza doesn't care who knows ke had o5 ched | g large finger in the Die. Commerce, which swept through the H Departmental League undefeated, gets only three places, while District Repair is awarded five and Treasury and Agri- culture one apiece. Two pitchers were selected for the mpythical first team. Willie Wolfe, D. C. Repair, leads off and plays shortstop; Long, also of D. C. Repair, follows and plays third; Young, still another Repairman, is in center field; Ludlow and Noone, an- other pair of Repair sluggers, follow in thai order and play rignt and left field; O'Donnell, Commerce, is at first base; Radice, Agriculture, is at second; Gichner, Commerce, is catching, and Lem Owens, Treasury, and Leon Riley, Commerce, ate the pitchers. Vic Guazza explawns, “Altogether, this am probably would be a tough one to beat. Wolfe is a good lead-off man, and Ma- | old Tots Long can lay 'em down. Herbie Young, Art Ludlow and Freddy Noone, all former minor leaguers, can bat over 350. O'Dennell hit .361 and fielded 13; | well, while Radice is good both afield and at bat. Gichner is the class of the catchers, and Owens and Riley not only can pitch, but hit as well.” HE sclf-appointer “choosers” are unanimous in the belief that ths second team does not_stack up Batting—Hendrick, Reds, .385; Terry, ! nearly as formidably as the first, albeit Giants, .368.

FOSTER. 1 EW YORK, June 12—Night base ball as opposed to day- light base ball now has en- tered into future calculations | of the major leagues concerning play- | ers. When night base ball made its debut in the game this possibility was | predicted. | One of the owners of the San Fran- cisco club says the major leagues wiil be playing night base ball in three years. He bases his opinion on the suc- | cess of night ball in San Francisco. But conditions of life in San Francisco |and Eastern cities are not similar. There are 20 night amusements in the East to 1 in the West. Night base ball would immediately enter into competi- tion with other amusement enterprises | in the East and would face more severe | competition than ever. When the movies began their daily afternvon _entertainments base ball in | the East faced mild competition com- | pared with what it would have to meet | if the game were played at night. Ath- |letic authorities insist that it is not a | night game and conservative base ball | men are against turning it into a night | sport. The California twilight is more | conducive to night ball than that in | the East and the social night life of | | the Pacific Coast is more outdoor than | (it is in the East. Major league owners who are seek- ing players for 1932 are asking their scouts to inform them whether the future material is that of the night school or that of the day school. The reason for this is that players who are forced to participate in night games say they do not play their best base ball under the arc lights. Technical difierences in night base [ball and day base ball lie in the ap- proach of line drives and high flies to fielders and the difficulty that batiers | have in hitting speed at night. That is | the report of men who have played it. |~ The San Francisco owner who is cer- tain that the major l:agues will go to night base ball says those clubs will take players whether they are the night or day kind. That may be true for a year or so, but if many bad risks are found in taking over night players there will quickly be an end to high-priced deals of that kind. Yet the experience of major clubs with night players has been odd this year. The Giants took Vergez from a California club and he is playing better ball in daylight games in the East than he did in the night games in California. Other major league clubs, the Boston Natlonals, the Philadelphia Nationals and Brooklyn, find their California play- ers doing better work for them than they, expected. This seems to be evi- dence that a good player can get bet- ter results in the day time if he is Standings in Major Circuits American League.

If this follows for an- other year it may be advisable for the majors to buy night players, especially if they are from California, because when they go East to play day games they will be better than they were in the West. This opens another phase in base ball futures. Th> major scouts are going through the California clubs as usual this Sum- mer and are keenly watching the better of the youngsters on the coast.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. 8 long as the Washington A Senators continue to play have been displaying for the past month or so, Philadel- phia’s Athletics are not going to League pennant race. The A’s have compiled a remarkable rec- ord so far, running up 35 victories to 12 defeats, but the Senators have remained right on their heels. ‘Washington's average today was .660, no mean mark in any league, and the| Senators were only 3!, games behind after six straight victories. The only fly in the- Senator ointment seems to be the refusal of the Athletics to lose a few more games, for the team from | the Capital has been hitting ai a ter- rific clip, flelding up with the best and getting probebly the best pitching in the league. Nine Washington pitchers went the route in succession before Jones failed to last on Wednesday. The Senators clipped a full game frem Philadelphia's lead yesterday by trouncing Cleveland, 12 to 5. They piled up 15 hits in effective bunches. The only drawback was a slight injury to Joe Cronin, star young shortstop, which may keep him out a day or two. Rookie Defeats Macks. ‘The A’s took their worst beating since early in the season from the St. Louis Browns and their rookie pitcher, Wal- | lace Hebert.
