AY, JULY 5, 1932 and Classified PAGE C—1 Let Punishment Fit Crime, Griff’s Idea : Yankees May Shatter Record for Wins WOULD BAN DICKEY AS REYNOLDS DLES Blow Smashing Carl’s Jaw Apt to Hurt Yanks, Who Drop Two to Nats. BY JOHN B. KELLER. UGILISM as practiced by Bill | Dickey in the course of the| holiday base ball bill on the Georgia avenue lot probably | hurt the Nationals’ cause con- siderably and if President Clark| Griffith of the Washington club| has his way will result in no good | for the league-leading Yankees. | In the severth inning of the early fray of the twin bill the rangy Yankee catcher landed a sturdy right on Carl Reynolds and broke the Washington player’s jaw. "The injury put Reynolds out of commission for 30 days at least and Griffith has requested William Harridge, president of the Amer- ican League, to retire Dickey so Jong as the victim of the catcher’s blow is unable to play. Dickey is the only high-class catcher with the Yankees and also is one of | their strongest batters. Though still | holding a seven-and-a-half-game ad- vantage over their closest rivals in the | flag_chase despite the double licking | handed them yesterday by the Na- | tionals, the Yanks, deprived of the| services of a player of Dickey's type | for a month or more, might find the | dizzy pace they have been setting for | the circuit quite difficult ‘to maintain. Minus Reynolds, the Nationals ob- viously are handicapped. He has been | their only regular to keep his batting mark above .300 from the outset of | campaigning and he has been among the best of the club at driving runs over the big base. While at times Carl's hitting has not been startling, it has been really helpful. The Nationals more than likely will miss Carl keenly. When Dickey landed that right on Reynolds’ jaw he handed the Wash- ington club a severe jolt. RESIDENT GRIFFITH did not mince matters when he dispatched his telegram to President Harridge shortly after Dickey made his swing. “Never saw anything as dastardly on a ball field before,” declared the Wash- ington boss after the double-header, “and I feel my club is entitled to an even break in the affair. We lose one of our stalwarts and 1 think it would be only fair for the Yankees to lose Dickey so iong as Reynolds cannot play. That's what I am after in the telegram I sent the American League president.” Here’s what Griffith wired Harridge: “Witnessed today (Monday) most atrocious act one ball player ever per- petrated on another when Catcher Dickey swung a mighty blow on| Reynolds when he was not looking and broke Reynolds’ jaw. Am asking you impose maximum fine on Dickey, that he be suspended until Reynolds is able to return to the game and also that Dickey or New York club shall pay | Reynolds’ hospital and doctor bills.” | That's asking plenty of the league | esident, but it would seem that the ashington club is entitled to as much. Let the punishment fit the crime. ‘That's President Griffith’s view. ; ICKEY landed that blow on Rey-| nolds right after the latter had toted across the run that dead-| locked the game. Carl had opened the seventh with a single and moved to third as Wes Kingdon hit for a base. Roy Spencer fouled out, and with the Nationals 2 runs to the bad Manager Johnson sent up Johnny Kerr to bat for Monte Weaver, It appeared that 2 squeeze play might have been called, for with Vernon Gomez's pitch Rey- nolds broke toward the plate. | The pitch was wide, though, and XKerr didn't meet it. Dickey quickly whipped the ball toward third, aiming | to trap Reynolds, but Bill's heave | brushed off Carl's shoulder. This de- flected the ball just enough to have ‘Third Baseman Sewell miss the catch. | Joey recovered the ball in a trice and threw home. Reynclds, under full gmdway went in standing up and as e crashed into Dickey the catcher éropped the throw, which had come in somewhat high. Dickey staggered back, regained his balance and rushed at Reynolds, who was being congratulated by the Wash- ington club’s mascot a few yards from the plate. Reynolds' back was toward Dickey as the latter swung with his right and landed flush on the Washing- ton player's jaw. Carl would have been felled by the blow had not one of the Nationals caught him. As soon as he could straighten up Reynolds rushed at Dickey, but by that vers of both clubs were around the plate and they kept Carl and Bill apart. Umpire George Hildebrand, of course, immediately ordered Dickey from the game, then Reynolds walked the fleld. It was a matter of 5 more, though, before play resumed After he dressed, Reynolds was rushed to a hospital, where an X-ray revealed a jaw fracture. The break received im- mediate treatment, a cast was put on the jaw and Reynolds sent to his home. According to the club physician, Rey- nolds will be out of the game at least 20 days and maybe six weeks. t T al Splitting double-headers isn’t being done by the Nationals this year. They have played nine this year. In four they took both games. In five they lost both Four of their twin bills have been with the Yanks.

No Excuse for Dickey. The fact that Dickey prob- ably figured Reynolds was un- necessarily rough in charging into him at the plate is no ex- cuse for the cowardly reprisal. Dickey was blocking his path to scoring and Reynolds was {)ertecuy within his rights in rying to reach the plate in the only way possible. A catcher blocks the base line at his own gerfl and in this case he didn’t ave the ball when he did it and was sent sprawling.

Outside of losing two ball games in a manner which indicated that maybe Marse Joe's boys have a bit of saffron in their make-up, the Yanks also have made enemies of the Nats, which now makes your Griffmen add Mr. Dickey to Mr. Simmons' name as people they are not going to like.

There was every indication in the manner in which the Yanks ran yellow lz on their standard that the club | ripe for a blow-up, which ought to | tighten the American League race.

This.is nearly always the case when a club’s nerves have cracked during keen struggling. ltumltthewpoftherlc ins to bellow, and bulldoze, it is about to descend. But there was a lot cf fun for the customers. And none for Carl Rey- nolds, the most docile man on the Griff outfit. Carl took ome on the button from Dickey with _ his hands down, and unprepared. When Marse Joe demanded more fight on the diamond Dickey thought he meant more fighting, and he let it go jrom his heels. Which will be all that he will be able to show Marse Joe after the league prexy gets through maming the days. In fact Dickey’s playing has been helping to keep the Yanks up top. Take him out, and there may be a few ball games less they'll win. Your Nationals appeared to be the last word in fighting base ball. They played with their chins in the air. They licked Mr. Gemez for the second time in his only two losses for the year; plastered the cocky Mr. Allen in a similar manner and, when it was | necessary, swapped spikes with the ‘Yanks, On the bases Mr. McCarthy’s two fast men, Lazerri and Chapman ap- peared to have anchors on their feet as Spencer threw and, aside from Babe Ruth’s homer, the Yank bat- ters were just hissers. Gentlemen, count your Grand Na- tionals back for a spot in the first division for a while. If Sir Walter can keep the boys as sore as they were yesterday, they’ll fight their way up to a position just around the corner from first place. It certainly wculd please old Bill Dinneen. — SETS ARCHERY MARK BUFFALO, N.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, July 5—Now that the Fourth of July games have been written into the records of the major leagues, two main facts stand out above all others. Unless the New York Yankees slump so badly in the American League that they withdraw into their shell until not even a scalp lock protrudes, they will uphold the old base ball saw which says that the leading team of July 4 will win the pennant. On the other hand, it is equally | obvious that most the national eircuit | teams may make a shambles of the old saw before their season ends. So close is this race that any club in the league has a chance to take the flag. This month of July in the American League, as the schedule is arranged for this year, is strongly favorable to the Yanks. The Yankees have managed to accu- mulate and cling around a .700 percent- age mark almost from the start of the season. They have disorganized the race to an extent even more pronounced than was the struggle at this time in 1931. Had they played with the same |success in Boston on their last visit | as they had been playing prior to that | serfes, they would have had the remain- der of the league groggier than it is. HE Western teams of the American League are coming East to make their second trial of the vear. To date the Yankees have won 20 games and have lost 5 to Western teams. The showing of the West against them is almost pitiful. Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago have won only 1 game each from New York, and St. Louis 2. Should this continue throughout the remainder of the season the Yankees could win the championship this year by an unprecedented total of . | Any estimate can be made of that possi- ible total, because almost anything is | possible to conjecture with the teams rating as they now do. The Yankees hold the record for winning the most games in any ohe season in the American e with their total of 110 in 1927. Ut is a very pronounced falling off in their play they can tie that record and better, because they are about finished with their Eastern rivals from they have won 30 games while losing 18. That is a percentage of .652. Their winning percentage has been .800, so big as to ridiculous. They have about | sames left to play the Eastern and more than twoscore to pl Western teams. The remainder of the race American League, except for a York slump, wil be & race against record of the past. ’I'H! next fortnight's campaign in the | National League should be every bit as interesting as the part aiready played. It will be a splendid opportu- nity for the Western teams to hay at the expense of the East, if can. If they are unable to do so National League race will exceed closeness of the eight clubs at the July held an opportunity t?‘m nnnhnm'nm at the end of the season. | ., Cincinnati is not to be counts ed out. Its total defeat at present hold it to the bottom of the race, but it has | played more games than any other team |in the league, and when the postponed games are played off there is a chance, |and it is not wholly remote, that Cin- | cinnati will have evened matters with some of its rivals, CLARK REJOINS BRAVES, | Earl Clark, Washington sandlot prod- uct, again is with the Boston Braves.
