Sports News Griffith Angling for Pitching 1 i NATS CHIEF IRKED AS “BIG FIVE" FAILS - Regular Starters Win Only at .480 Rate—Finish but 13 of 33 Games. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ITHIN another three weeks there will be changes in the Nationals’| pitching staff if Clark‘. Griffith, president of the club, can | make them. He really has until three weeks from tomorrow—un- | til midnight of June 15 to be ex- act—to dicker for pitchers in the major field and he has lines out | now. The big chief of the Wash- ington club admits this, although he's mum when asked what | chuckers he’s after. His club’s hill staff as now con- stituted isn’t taking care of its job, Griffith feels. The “big five” of which much was expected isn’t producing as the boss thinks it should produce with the season nearly one-fourth gone. ‘When the Nationals were in train- ing down South in the Spring those in of them were predicting great things in a pitching way from Crow- der, Weaver, Whitehill, Stewart and ‘Thomas as starters. And they looked for good relieving when needed from Russe]l, Burke ani McAfee. Excepting McAfee, the master minds of the club ‘were all wrong it turns out. ‘The “big five”—and it includes Crow- der, Weaver, Whiteixll, Stewart and has started 33 games and pitched only 13 complete ones. Of the games started, it has won but 12 and | Jost 13. Which gives it an average as | successful starters of 480. That's 91 ;oln's under the winning percentage the | fationals show today. Looks as though the “big five” has | had to have a lot of help from the| ®prothers of the reserve corps. OP the “big five” Weaver has the best | record. He has started six games, won three of them and lost one. | And he has pitched three complete games, going the route in each of his Wvictories, ‘Whitehill and Crowder have hurled to .500 averages as starters. Each has started eight times. Whitehill has won four and lost as many and has gone all the way in five games. Crowder has | won three and lost three, but only | twice has he traveled a route. | Stewart also has had eight starts, but he has won in only two of them and lost in four. And he has finished ‘what he started but three times. ‘Thomas, whose doctored arm was supposed to be in fine fettle when the club came up from the Southern train- ing grounds, was not starter until recently. the firing line at the beginning of a | three times and has to show for complete game to his credit. A showing somewhat disappointing for a group of pitchers so highly praised by the Nationals’ leaders before | the championship campaign got un- | der way. S | ILL MCcAFEE has been about the| busiest member of the Washing- ton curving corps. Although this relief pitcher has participated in only 10 games, hardly a day has passed since the opening of the season that Biil hagn't hustled to the warm-up strip to prepare for action. He's the “rub- ber arm” boy of the slabbing band. As a rescuer he has accounted for three of the Nationals' victories, too, which is better than two of the “big ve” starters have done. | Four other games have been won by | relievers, both members of the “big five.” Crowder has been better in the | relief role than as a starter, for his| rescue record reads three won and none Jost. Thomas stepped in to score one win. Russell has had little more to do| than warm up for about a half hour nearly every day in the campaign and Burke has not been called on often. | Should McAfee begin to falter, though, | Jack and Bob probably will have plen- | ty to do. For the odds are greatly against any of the “big five” finishing | what he starts. SIX-RUN RALLY TELLS Enables Sherwood to Beat Mount Rainier Nine, 8 to 6.

By the Associated Press. YORK, May 24—Thorough- bred racing in the metropolitan area, handed a financial setback in 1932, appears well on its way to finish- ing on the right side of the ledger this year. With average daily attendance of 4,000, of which 70 per cent is paid ad- mission, the crowds during the first 15 days of the Jamaica meeting exceeded the expectations of officials. Last Saturday was the banner day. With Head Play's appearance in the | Wood Memorial as the drawing card, close to 15,000 packed their way into the little Long Island course. Joseph E. Widener, president of the Westchester Racing Association, re- flected the spirit of optimism on the part of the racing officials when he announced today that Belmont Park, which will open Saturday, probably ‘would run its full allotment of 17 rac- ing days. All of the stakes have been scheduled for the first 12 days. B AR MATCH RACE IS PLANNED Equipoise and Gallant Sir May Meet at Arlington Park.

EW YORK, May 24—Billy Evans, general manager of the Cleveland Indians, has a brand-new explanation for the falling-off of hitting in the major leagues this year. It's not the ball, Billy says, but batters themselves. “They don't carry enough threat to the plate,” he explained. Most o w ere just straight-aw Ritders, ‘Whereas » fellow like Ty at Plate. Cobb would worry an opposing in- field to death, trying to figure where and when he would bunt. Then just when they thought they had Ty figured out he would punch orie through & hole or over an infielder's head. “There isn't anybody with Cobb's all-around _ hitting ability in the American League now.

Ty’s ingenfiity‘ ‘ Cronin a Standout in Poll for Shortstop Berth on All- Star A. L. Team. HICAGO, May 24 (P)—Early votes in the ballot to name an American League team to face the National League’s best in Chicago July 6 apparently would a little rather sce Al Simmons of the White Sox than Babe Ruth. Simmons had collected 1,681 votes to 1,620 for the glorifier of the home run. Earl Averill of Cleveland had 739. Lou | Gehrig, New York's other home run artist, had little competition in the vot- ing for first basemen, leading Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics, 1,375 to 290. Foxx, however, has received votes for third base, the outfield and catcher. He ranked a close second to Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox for third base, Dykes having 605 votes and the Philadelphia slugger 590. Foxx had 5 votes each as a catcher and outfielder. Charley Gehringer led the second basemen, 775, to 614 for Tony Lazzeri of the world champions. Joe Cronin, manager of the Nationals, was miles ahead of the next shortstop, 1,515 to 201 for Luke Appling of Chi- cago. Bill Dickey, another member of the Yankees, was an 876-to-461 choice over Mickey Cochrane of the A’s for the catching job. Bob Grove, Philadelphia’s great south- paw, led the pitchers with 1,345 votes. Ted Lyons of the White Sox had 996, and Vernon Gomez, the Yankees' ace left-hander, ranked third with 735. Oral Hildebrand, Cleveland’s sensational yo;misber, ‘was in' the running with 551 votes. Fans of Washington and vicinity are invited to help in the selection of the all-star teams that will clash in Chicago July 6. All they have to do is to list an American and a National League team, each consisting of three pitchers, two catchers, six infielders and four out- fielders and mail them to the Sports Department of The Star. These se- lections will be forwarded to the officials in charge of arranging for the game and included in the Na- tion-wide poll. Proceeds from the contest are to go to the home for aged and ailing ball players. GIANTS DROP SHORES. CINCINNATI, May 24 (#)—The New D, G, THE BABE’S SAD DAYS.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1933 Classified Ads PAGE C—-1 < —By TOM DOERER TN HAPPY DAYS. .-+ HIGHK AND WIDE ... BY TOM DOERER. R. BAMBINO RUTH took a turn for the better yesterday. Until his bigtime willow weaving in the Cleveland combat, Babe had not rung up a four- ply wallop since April 30 which, the ex- perts will agree, is a long time for the Babe to be just sitting in on a ball game. ‘Yesterday’s sock brought the Bam out of the longest slump he had been in for years. It may be the turning point, and again, it might have been just one‘*of those blows that even Mose Grove can | knock out once in a while. But the subject today is the Bam and the Gotham team as a unit. There has been an old saying in base ball that runs along to mean that with Babe out of the line-up and headed South, the Yanks meander right behind him. “As Ruth goes, so goes the Yanks,” the boys have been saying. Recent showing of the Yanks, despite their first place position, indicates that the adage is more or less true. ABE had been looking around for fences to defeat for a long while | before his luck changed. And while | he was peering for a little fence against | the days when they could not make them tall enough for the big_person, | don’t let them tell you that the Yankees | were not in a heavy lather over the matter. | — | And while the Babe's throne teetered | and shook during these past few weeks Lou Gehrig's bat was strangely silent for almost a like period. Not until yes- terday’s awakening against Billy Evans’ | Indians did the heavy artillery of the Yanks look anywhere near what it — 1 HERE must have been plenty of | chills fleeing up and down the spine of Marse Joe McCarthy as the re- | sult of the failure of his two big guns | Minor Leagues || International League.

Babe Breaks Home Run Slump Four-ply Sock Against Clevelanmd—is Sign the Yank Heavy Artillery is About to Boom. | Yanks were labeled to drop from the t | at Oak Ridge Institute, and Murray to boom as the Washington club bounded along at the Yank heels. While Ben Chapman, Bill Dickey, Tony Lazzeri and Frank Crosetti, supposed weak links of the club, were fielding and hitting above | what had been expected of them, the top unless Babe and Lou awakened from their batting lethargy. A home run by either of the two members of the power squad would have made the team more comfortable in first place had they been delivered in some of the games during the last few weeks.. And, more than that, the effect on the enemy pitching would have helped considerably. 'AILURE of the two big boys of the | Yanks to pole them out in their inimitable blasting style has given a lot of courage to the Western hurlers, who, with the weather being what it was, needed any encourage- ment they could get. When the Bam and Lou were playing the role of Sit- ting Bull the opposing hurlers began | to believe that maybe the war was| over after all and that happy days for | pitchers were here at last. But yesterday’s outburst of blasting on the part of the biggest of the Yanks | may be an indication that the war is not only not over, but really not quite under way.

MAKING ARE LOBBY JOKES ABOUT THE BAM.... o 5 Marberry Finds T must be open season for Wash- ington batters with pitchers gun- ning for low-hit games. The slab shots are making the Nationals roll over and play dead these days. Paul Gregory of the White Sox started it last Friday when he limited them to six safeties. Walter Miller, with new life in his left arm, hurled for the same club Saturday and shut out the Cronin crew with two hits. Along came Fred Marberry yesterday to put the Tigers on even ferms with the Washington outfit in the current series by holding his old ‘ teammates to three measly singles. And nothing can be done about it. In turning back the Nationals in the second set-to of the Tiger set, Mar- berry pitched just about the best game of his career. He faced just 30 bat- ters. Only four Nationals got on the | runway, one getting a pass and one of the four was hooked in a double-play. So good was the big Texan that his outfielders had but six chances. That's how the Nationals weren't hitting. The first 10 batters to face him were out | in order. Then Myer singled, Manush | walked and Cronin singled to put over | a fourth-inning run. Marberry tight- ened to strike out Harris and Kuhel fouled out. Travis opened the fifth with a single to be the last National to| reach first base. He was caught with | Sewell in a double-play and from then | on it was easy sailing for Fred. | ALTER STEWART, Jack Russell| and Bob Burke were slammed by | the Tigers for 10 hits, avith Stew- art taking the licking before the game | was three innings old. The Tigers got | a run without a hit in the second from | a pass, Travis’ wild throw and a long fly. | They hit plenty in the third to mkei four runs. Two singles and a double‘ disposed of Stewart and another ulngle‘ was made off the relieving Russell be- fore the round ended. A single and a triple off Russell in the eighth meant two more tallies, but the Tigers wasted two singles gleaned off Burke in the ninth. All but one of the Tiger hits flew from the bats of the first three in the hitting list, with Jack Stone heading | the attack. He helped himself to a| triple, a double and two singles and personally did enough to win for his side. It was his double that drove over the first run of the Tigers’ big third round and sent Stewart to the shower, and it was his triple that drove over the first run of the eighth round. And he scored after each extra-base hit. EE utility players were in the Washington line-up. Rice and Harris had the places of Schulte and Goslin in the outfield. Goslin's siderably.

Sewell threw anyway, but fortunately for the Nationals Stone’s back stopped the ball. THERE was much bickering between the clubs toward the end of the game. The Nationals complained that Marberry was ‘“cheating” by throwing a spitter and quite an argu- ment was held with the players gath- ered around first base at the start of the ninth. Then Fred threw one that swept _close to Manush’s head and Um- pire Bill Dineen went down to warn the pitcher that the “bean” ball was out. One more game with the Tigers, then the Browns will visit.
