KELLER. er, IS Cleveland ball club now | Burk in our midst for a series of | as! three games has served no- tice that it means to be very much in the running in the American League race. Right on the heels of the Na- tionals, the Indians are in a posi- tion to forge to the front during | their Eastern swing, and Manager Peckinpaugh will have them fight- ing'every bit of the way, too. The Tribe has bowled over Western opposition in impressive manner and in | %, its four clashes with the only Eastern outfit it has met, the Athletics, it has e played to an even break. Neither Earn- | shaw, the fast right-hander, nor Wal- | berg, the slick southpaw, of Mack’s | mound marvels could check Peck's Ppapooses. The Indians have power. Power, plus. They are likely to step out at any time and punish any pitcher facing them. And they have pitching also. On the Tribe slab staff are several gen- erally capable of holding the opposition to few earned tallies. True, the Tribe has a weakness. Its infield defense has been none too good. But now that Chalmers Cissell has | stepped into the breach at second base | that inner cordon may not be so sifty. | He's a sterling infielder, a help to any club defensively. If the acquisition of Cissell makes the Cleveland inner defense better, Peck will have a club quite apt to put Up a great argument with any other, The hitting is there and so is the hurl- ing.

May 9.—Gene Dixon, non-playing captain of the United States Davis Cup squad, looks upon Australia as America's biggest hurdle in the com- ing international tests. Here yesterday with three members | of the squad for an exhibition engage- | ment, Capt. Dixon spoke enthusiastical- | Iy of the United States team's chances of winning the cup. “We have a great chance of winning the trophy this year,” he said, “but, unlike other seasons we are going to meet a great test in Australia before we earn the right to compete abroad. ;| 1 we get by that successfully our boys | should be in great condition to sweep | ‘through to the championship.” HE squad, consisting of Elisworth Vines, Johnny Van Ryn and i Francis X.

A single. & triple and a long| fly meant two tallies for the Chisox in the third, and three singles with a bobble by West accounted for two more in the sixth to put the visttors in front, Then Judge got & pass to open the | Washington sixth and was shot over | the plate by Rice's three-bagger. | When the centerfielder’s return got by | the third baseman, Sam tried to score | and was just nipped at the plate. | Johnson then passed the pitching Job to Burke and Bob got along well until the ninth, when with two out he | yielded a run to give the White Sox a | lead again. Fothergill had been inten- tionally passed after Kress had dou- bled so that Burke could work on Ap- pling. But Appling crossed everything by socking a two-bagger. Back came the Nationals to create another deadlock. Harris singled, Kerr sacrificed and Myer whacked a one- baser to register the needed score.

Barney Hurls Without a Ball | Rival Clubs Credit Griffe’ S uccess to Pilot’s Handling of Pitchers. BY TOM DOERER. O a master pitcher goes the credit for being a master strategist, too. Within his own country, much like the prophet of the saying, Sir Walter Johnson may be just the field boss of the Washington Senators, who, upon occasions, riles the cash cus- tomers by removing a pitcher o soon, or too late, as the fan's judgment happens to see it at the moment. But in other flelds, par- ticularly in New York and Phila- delphia, Johnson is something else again. For instance, in Gotham, the old mas- ter of the lightning flip is given credit ‘ar being the master strategist of pitcher | | feats of the Yankees and the Athletics | | a few days ago, and they will yodel loud | | and unanimously “Waiter Johnson." | Take the Nationals’ hurling staff ' one by one and call off their good | deeds against the Yanks and the | Macks and you will not get a weak | huzzah from the experts or the play- | ing members of the two teams. Nope, not a whimper. But you will hear Jrom all that it was the pitching knowledge possessed by the old mas- | ter that caused the-downfall of the giant power of the two most power- | ful clubs in the American League. | “There is nothing exceptional about | the Senator hurling this year,” sald one expert. watching the Yanks and the Nats as Bob Burke passed 12 men in seven innings. “But there is something | | exceptional in their following the orders | | of that big Barney over on th& bench. the first time these pitchers are | following orders. And don't for- | run, much to the annoyance of Ted Lyons, who traveled the full route for the White Sox. Walter Johnson called on four pitchers, Marberry, Burke, Fischer and Ragland, in that order. Cleveland walloped the Philadelphia ageg:ql again, 8-5, and the Boston broke an game losing Eltmks at the St. Louis * expense, to 5.

Union Engi- Talking to Johnson the other day upon the success of his hurling staff, an out-of-town writer got this: “Sure they are going great. They are throw- ing them where they should.” And that is just what is hlnmnfinf, Johnson realized that there was only | one way to stop the power plants of | his biggest rivals, and that was not to permit the dynamite to function. And | there is no safer way of doing that | | little thing than by giving the boys | | on the end of the mighty totem poles nothing at which to hit. You can't| hit what you can't reach still is good base ball logic. Yank players, arriving in New York following the series here, free- Iy admitted they were whipped by Johnson strategy. They admitted the beauty of the Johnson defense, the potent wallop in the bats of the | Washington crew, but the largest dish of praise went to Walter John- | son’s handling of his pitchers. Those Babylon batters admitted they fell for Johnson's snare hook, line and their hatbands. Any time that a Sen- ator hurler tossed up a good ball to those Yanks it was to a pitcher. Noth- ing but wild pitches were tendered | Byrd, Ruth and Gehrig. When one of | of that trio hit he had to reach for it | plenty far. Such were the old master’s | orders and the hurlers paid full atten- tion to the boss. Add to Sir Walter's orders to pitch them wild to e power hit- ters the old speedster’s work with Weaver, Ragland and Fischer down in Biloxi in March and you have some of the reasons why the Nats' hurling staff is going along smooth ly. Johnson paid more stress than usual upon his hurling staff down there along the Gulf Coast because be felt that unless it held up better than last season the Nats were in for tough sledding this semester. Walter talked pitching poverty on one hand and preached optimism to | bis lean hurling staff on the other. | He picked Weaver to bloom into star- dom, Pischer to make a great showing this season, and argued for Crowder's statement that he would get off to a flying start this year. But, in a nutshell, the success of the Nats' hurling staff at the mo- ment is due to splendid, smart tute- lage and its obedience to orders.
