SPORT anush Now Spearhead of Griffs’ Attack : Mackmen'’s 18-Inning Victo IN CLOUTING STRIDE AFTERLONG SLUP - Heinie Picks Up 9 Points at % Bat in Last 9 Games. Chisox Routed. BY JOHN B. KELLER. | EINIE MANUSH again is the | big punch of the Wash- ington ball club. After | weeks of weak hitting, the | husky Heinie has swung into a" sturdy batting stride and now is | the spearhead of the Nationals’ attack. | Manush has made 102 hlt.s.,L driven in 59 runs and boasts an average of .329 at bat. That's far more than any other National playing regularly has accom- plished. | Heinfe began to find himself at bati right after the Nationals returned from their June invasion of the West. During the swing through that sector he club- bed for only .300 and his season average was_but little better than those figures. He has been swinging against the pitch- ing in the East right regularly, however, to pull up on the big batters of the | American League. | Manush has picked up considerable | ground in the Nationals' present home | stand, which began only eight days ago. While others of the club have hit spas modically, Heinie has been a steady swatter in Griffith Stadium.

And he is likely to go much igher Too bad others on the club sho sign of going into a steady hitting streak. Manush can't carry all the bur- | den of the attack. | EFORE leaving last night for Cleve- | land, where today the American | League holds its midseason meet ing, Clark Griffith. president of the Na- tionals, had nothing to say for publi- cation concerning the Reynolds-Dickey case, but no doubt the Washington prexy will have plenty to say in the Cleveland conclave. While the Yankee catcher has drawn | severe punishment for swinging on the | Washington player and fracturing the latter's jaw, the Washington club really | is left holding the bag. | Reynolds’ pay goes on during the weeks he must idle, and they'll be more than the six figured to pass before the jaw has mended. For some time Carl can take light nourishment only, and | after the injury has healed the player | probably will be in no condition to re- | turn to the game for another four or | five weeks. And there'll be hospital and | surgical bills for the club to meet. Il cost the Washington club a pre‘ty penny, far more than the blow cost Dickey. Col. Ruppert, president of the Yan- kees, is to protest the punishment meted out to Dickey by William Harridge, president of the league, it is understood. He'll put up an argument, no doubt, al- | though in the opinions of many close te the American League Dickey was for- tunate in drawing no heavier punish- ment for his atrocious act. On the other hand, Griffith has a sound argument to make, His club will be penalized to the extent of thousands of “dollars for something for which neither it nor its injured player was re- sponsible. Griffith had nothing to say for publi- cation_before leaving Washington, but the other American League owners un- doubtedly are hearing plenty from him By the Assoclated Press. LEVELAND, July 11.—The pos- sibility of fireworks was in the air today as club owners and President Harridge of the American League assembled in Cleve- land to thrash out the protested sus- pension of Bill Dickey, mainstay catcher of the New York Yankees. Dickey was suspended for 30 days Saturday by Harridge, for slugging and breaking the jaw of Carl Reynolds, star outfielder of the Washington Senators. In addition, the catcher was fined $1,000. Col Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, filed a vigorous protest to the suspension immediately after it was meted out, and demanded a hearing at today’s meeting. esident 1S protesting telegram of the Harridge said penalty was u ranted,” and that “in deprivin New York Club of its best catcher for 30 days you are doing the club irrepara- ble damage.” ‘The seven other clubs of the league the loss of Dickey will do the Yankees' pennant hopes no good, but just how far Col. Ruppert's protest will get h remained a matter for extended— probably lively—discussion. UITE naturally, the Was] Senators will have conside say in the debate over Dickey. for the injured Reynolds probably wiil be out of the game for another several weeks. From Clark Griffith’s view point, Dickey’s suspension is nothing less than an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth—and let the broken bones fall where they may. A variety of other problems also were up for consideration today, chief among them the question of gate receipts, and the lowly status of the Boston Red Sox. Among some of the owners there was a move on foot to revise the admission prices to absorb the new Federal tax. in Cleveland today. ICKEY, sbetted by the New York | club, is to appeal to the American ' League directorate for judgment | in his case according to information | coming from the big city. He is entitled | to an appeal under the regulations of the American League. Any player sUS- | pended for more than 10 days has the | privilege of going before the board of | directors for a hear and Dickey drew 30 days in addition to a fine of | $1,000 for that swing on Reynolds. | Whether the appeal will help him is | doubtful, however. According to Grif- | fith, no’ American League directorate | ever has overruled a cizcuit president’s | decision In cases involving suspensions‘ of more than 10 days. The American League board of di- | Tectors this year includes Col. Ruppert | of the Yankees, President Bob Quinn | of the Red Sox, President Alva Brad- ley of the Indians and President Lou Comiskey of the White Sox. Whether Col. Ruppert will participate in the hearing of a player of his club has not | been announced. It has not been cus- | tomary for a director to act in an af- | fair involving one of his own men. | REAKING out with a rash of hits esterday, the Nationals gave the White Sox a 13-to-3 beating in the opener of a four-game serics. In all, 19 hits bounced off the Washington ! bats, with three Chicago hurlers taking | the punishment | The left-handed Pat Caraway started | and was credited with the loss, but Vic Frasier was well slammed and so was Art Evans, a rookie southpaw lately of | the Independence club of the Western Association. Al Crowder volunteered to do the twirling for the Nationals, so Manager Johnson sent him in, although the slab assignment originally had gone to Fred Marberry. Al allowed a dozen hits, but after the third frame, when the Chisox | with a single by Seeds and doubles by | Haves and Sullivan. got two runs for a brict lead. there was no more scor- ing off him until the eighth, when three singles were bunched after two were out The Nationals dented the plate in 6 of their 8 batting turns. They tucked away the game in the third frame, | when with 6 safeties they massed 5 | runs. Among the hits in the round | was a_homer driven to the angle back of right center by Joe Kuhel. The blow came with Roy Spencer on the runway and the Nationals a run back. That run Kuhel scored behind | Spencer, put the home side in front | to stay. Records of Griffs BATTING.

HATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 11— The man generally credited with being organized base ball's first “pinch-hitter” was honored here yesterday as a bronze tablet to his memory was unveiled at ceremonies preceding the Chattanooga-Memphis game. The tribute was pald by officials of the Southern Association and other base ball notables, including Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis, to the late Strang Nicklin, or Sammy Strang. as he was known in the major leagues in the decade of 1900- 1910. Nicklin was owner of the Chattanooga club: of the Southern Association from 1919 to 1927. He died last March. He won base ball fame with the New York Giants, being_developed by John McGraw as the first player used strictly for pinch-hitting. Among those taking part in yes- terday's tribute was Calvin Griffith, son of the owner of the Washington Senators. ROSENBLOOM FIGHTS IN DEFENSE OF TITLE By the Associated Press. bloom, recognized in this State as world light-heavyweight champion, defends his title against Lou Scozza of Buffalo in a 15-Tound bout in Buffalo Wednesday night, the only bout of more than ordinary interest on the national fistic card this week. Rosenbloom_originally was to have met George Nichols, also of Buffalo, who holds the National Boxing Asso- ciation’s light-heavyweight champion- ship. Scuzza, however, whipped Nichols in a non-title bout and was given the “shot”” at Rosenbloom. The light-heavyweight match between Kid Chocolate and Jack (Kid) Berg will be held In Madison Square Garden Bowl next Monday night. This bout was to have been held tonight, but was ned when Berg came down with & eavy cold. Grace Sets Mark As Buc Backstop By the Associated Tress. ITTSBURGH, July 11.—A per- fect base ball catcher has been discovered in the being of Earl Grace, snappy Pirate backstop. By his faultless receiving in ves- terday’s game at Brooklyn, which the Bucs annexed 8-7, Grace estab- lished & new mark—64 games with- out_an error. His perfect performance behind the plate in every game he has en- gaged in this seasor eclipses the former non-error mark for receivers held jointly by Johnny Bassler and Van Clemmons. Bassler achieved 63 _errorless games with the Detroit Tigers in 1926 and Clemmons with the St. Louis Nationals in 1923. Largely because of Grace's achieve- ments in 64 of the Pirates’ 73 games thus far, not an error has been made behind the Pittsburgh platter. TODAY BASE BALL sioo7.
