Suspensions to Weaken Both Griffs and Yanks as Result of Fist Fight on Field MYER'’S LOSS WILL BE FELT “Buddy Harder to Replace Than Chapman, His New York Foe—Feud Long Simmering—Punish- ment for Whitehill Doubtful. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, Mass., April 26.—Flying fists and kicking feet help a ball player get a lot of hard feeling off his chest, but they don’t help his ball club. Regardless of whether Buddy Myer of the Nationals and Ben Chapman of the Yankees were jus- tified in mixing and mauling as they did in the fourth inning of yes- terday's game in Washington, President Willlam Harridge of the American League, considering the affair dispassionately, probably will mete out stiff punishments to both player; to the consequent B detriment of their clubs. Chapman has been putting up a great game for the Yankees and no doubt they would feel his ban- ishment should it come about, but the Nationals would be harder hit, much harder, by any lengthy sus- pension Myer might draw. Myer, naturally a strong hitter, enly recently has found himself at bat w0 become a potent factor in the Wash- ington offensive. Not only that. but ne had estabiished himself as the besc lead- off batter for the club lollowing much experimanting with players in tnis no- sition by Manager Joe Crenin. His pro- longed absence would upset the Na- tionals’ attack to 2 great exent, for the club has not at hand a reserve capable of producing as powerful punch as might reasonably be expected of Myer. At least. on past performances, no re- serve has been qualified to fill his shoes at bat. Afield, too, Myer has played a most satisfactory game in the early going. Greatly improved as a second baseman, Buddy pulied up to rank among the best detensive players of the circuit and from the start of the season he Ero\'ad almost invaluable to his club in is t J\’)finy Kerr is a clever fielder also and a spirited toiler, too, but it may be no easy task to fit him into the inner cordon in a way that would result in a continuance of the smooth play it had developed A long layoff for Myer would be a sad blow to the Nztionals. HAT the battle broke was no sur- prise to either club. It was no se- t that ill-feeling cxisted tween Myer and Chapman, an ill-feel- ing that had its origin last season, when Chapman repeatedly bowled over the Washington second baseman in efferts to frustrate double plays, just as the New York runner did in yesterday’s fray in Griffith Stadium. When Chapman dumped Myer at gecond in Monday's game the feud flared anew and before the clubs took the field for their engagement yester- day the Washington middle-sacker an- nounced he intended to wreak ven- geance immediately should Chapman again overthrow him in such a play. ‘Chapman did just that. With Gehrig on third base and Chapman on first by virtue of successive singles, Lazzeri rolled an easy chance to Cronin. The shortstop tossed to Myer for a force play on Chapman and the second base- man wheeled to try for the second out. with a more than fair chance to make good. But Chapman, out by several yards, persisted in diving into a slide and, according to Myer, a slide directly at him instead of the base. Chapman's spikes, that had actually gashed Myer's shine the day before, this time cut through the second baseman’s Jeft shoe in two places and inflicted 2 slight wound on the heel. Brushed aside, Myer couldn't carry on with the double-play chance. Instead, infuri- ated, he kicked viciously at the prone New Yorker. The latter, on his feet in a trice, immediately 1ushed at Myer, fists flying, and the battle was on. HE umpires and players of both clubs rushed around the milling athletes and at last parted them. Moriarty, umpire in chief, lost no tim= in ordering both players out of the game. Myer, after standing about bel- ligerently for a time, trotted to the Washington dugout. Chapman did not. 1Instead, he stood his ground for sev- eral minutes, glaring about as though challenging any and all of the Na- ticnals to take up the gauge. At last persuaded to leave Chapman headed for the stairway lead- ing from the Washington bench to the Yankee dressing room and the battle was renewed with greater fury.

He did not | wait to learn who had talked out of | turn, but hurled himself upon the near- est National. This happened to be Earl | Whitehill, pitcher, standing at the end of the bench. In a moment, another fight was urnder way, and this one threatened to become a free-for-all. Fans flocked out of the grandstand to swarm around the milling players, players of both clubs dashed into the | thick of the brawl, a score or more of police leaped into action. Washingten | players endeavoring to get Whitehill cut of the argument were set upon by New Yorkers. The New Yorkers in| | turn were set upon by the irate fans| | and for more than 10 minutes the fight | raged fiercely. 'N rushed the bluecoats, swinging clubs | | 1"and _threatening with _blackjacks. | |~ Combatants were parted here and there only to engage in other affrays. PFred Walker, Yankee sub infielder, | crashed the scrap to give a fan a sound thumping, only to get one in return. | Vernon Gomez, Yankee left-hand pitch- |ing star, rushed into action swinging a | bat wildly, but the only known damage | he inflicted was a whack on the leg of Frankie Baxter, assistant trainer of the | Washington club. Walker, for his part in the tussling. was banished by the umpires, but Gomez escaped punish- ment. Finally, the police succeeded in get- ting Chapman off the field and into the dressing room, but not before he had been well punched by many in the more than 300 spectators who had leaped from the stands. All was not over with Chapman’s departure. A fight was started in the right-field pavillion smong partisan fans and it lasted until three of the fighters had been placed under arrest. ey | HAT punishment Whitehill will | draw for his part in the affair | is doubtful. He certainly was not the aggressor in any way, merely - stepping out to defend himself when the wild Chapman bore down on him.| Whitehill was not hurt serjously in | the fighting, suffering nothing more | than a slight scratch on the right side of his face. Nor was Myer injyred physically | other than the small spike-cut on his leit heel. Unfortunately his pay check may take a severe trimming, however. And how his resort to punitive meas- | ures may cause his club to suffer!

Griff, Cronin Back Own Men for Acts Special Dispatch to The Star. OSTON, April 26.—While both Clark Griffith, president of the Nationals, and Joe Cronin, their manager, deplore yesterday's brawl between the Washington and New York players during the game in Griffith Stadium, both strongly de- fend Buddy Myer and Earl White- hill, the players of their club in- volved. “If ever a ball player was justi- fled in attacking another, Myer was,” Griffith declared this morning. “Chapman, to all appearances, had deliberately cut him down the day before and when he tried it again Myer had a perfect right to take him to task for his unsportsmanlike act. As far as Whitehill is cancerned, he was merely defending himself from an uncalled-for attack. Any man would do that.” Cronin coincided with Griffith’s opinions and added, “We aren’t looking for trouble, but when it comes we won't do all the taking.” FOR OPTIMISTS’ FOUR Beats Sixth Corps for Class Honors and Meets Same Quartet in Open Final Saturday.

HICAGO, April 26—The participants in the latest flareup of ill feeling be- tween the New York Yan- kees and the Washington Sena- tors, were due to learn what pun- ishment would be imposed by President Will Harridge of the American League, before game time today. Complete reports of the near riot in the Washington park, in which Buddy Myer, Senator sec- ond baseman, and Ben Chapman, New York outfielder, played the leading roles, were filed by tele- graph to Harridge.

April 26.—As an after- | math to the battle of Griffith Stadium, the Nationals were ex- pecting to face the Red Sox to- | day in the opener of their two-game | series here with a reyamped batting | order. Should Buddy Myer be ousted by | orders from American Ledgue head- | quarters, Manager Cronin said this morning he would have either Joe Kuhel or Ossie Bluege bat in first place. The one not leading off would assume sixth place in the list and the seventh be turned over to Johnny Kerr, who would fill in for Myer at second base. Nothing the Nationals put on the field in Washington yesterday could | check the Yanks. Manager :hurh?d 17 players into the fray, but his |side went on to take its first white- washing of the season in a 16-t0-0 debacle that snapped a thrée-game win- ning streak. | "It was the biggest score amassed by the world champions in the current American League campecign, and in coming back after taking their two lick- ings, their oaly lickings to date, they cluttered up Griffith Stadi and do- anain beyond with 21 hitsgtheir heaviest bombardment of the year. Monte Weaver started on the slab for the Griffith guards, but he went out shortly atter the fighting was quelled in the fourth frame. Alphonse Thomas followed to take a g bumping. Then it was Bill McAfees turn. Finally, Bud Thomas took it on the chin for two rounds. Every Yankee in the line-up except- ing Sam Byrd, who supplanted the belli- broke into the hit column. Earl Combs joined the season record- makers by banging out five hits, one a triple and another a double, in as many times at bat. He walked the sixth time up. His prolific poling got him a tie with Jimmy Foxx, fence-buster of the i A’s, who only Monday helped himself to .| five in five. On the second day of the season Sammy West, former National now with the Browns, got six hits in six times at bat, but in an 11-inning con- test. Combs’ five hits were as many as the Nationals gleaned all told off the pitch- ing of Russell Van Atta, left-hander making his first major league start. And Van Atta helped put the Nationals to shame by tapping out four singles and laying down a sacrifice to have a perfect day at bat as well as on the hill. ‘Two home runs figured in the Yankee onslaught. One was Gehrig's fourth of the season, lifted over the right-field wall to drive Al Thomas from the hill in the sixth inning. The other was Lazzeri’s Griffs’ Records . 3b.

They weren't on the job as I | see it.” | Every Yank "except Babe | hustled from the bench when Chapman mixed with Whitehill on the Washing- | ton bench. “My cold is too bad to | mix in anything like that these days,” | said the Bambino afterward. “It might | have made my nose run more.” | AIl's quiet on the Washington front |now.
