RANKS AMONG BEST AT DRIVING IN RUNS - Tied With Manush, Though in Fewer Games—Kuhel Tops First Basemen. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HEN the Kansas City club of the American Association Boken to the Nationals | Not | it did them a real favor. only has this second-string in- fielder played a sound defensive game and batted beyond expecta- tion, but he also has been a great < part of his new club’s punch. Boken today ranks among the | best of the Nationals at driving Tuns across. In the comparatively few times he has been in action his hitting has been responsible for the registering of 15 scores and but 21 have been sent over by Joe Kuhel, the Nationals’ leader in this respect. The lanky Heinie Manush for fifth place among those Washington hitters who have been shoving runners over the final base. A remarkable showing, indeed, when it is considered that Manush has taken part in 38 games—all the Na- tionals have played—while Boken has been in only 16 and in but nine played all the way. Kuhel, the leader, and Joe Cronin and Luke Sewell, now tied for second honors, each with 20 sent home, have been in all their club’s engagements. Bluege, who has driver across 16 runs and stands fourth, has been in 27 tus- sles. This makes Boken’s record look all the better. Not only is Boken on even terms | with Manush in the matter of driving | runs home, but he also tops in this | important part of offensive play such | stalwarts as Fred Schulte and Goose Gorlin. Schulte, in his 30 games, has | sent in one less run than has Boken in 16. Goslin, in 37 games, has sent in_one less. In several ways this Boken is a great boy to have arcund when the pinch comes. KUHEL. the club’s leader at driving XN\ across runs and one of the best Of the Nationals' hitters right now, | has gone about his work afield so well | he deserves rating as the finest defen- sive first baseman in the American League. In his 38 games he has had a total of 405 chances, an unusual amount, and has slipped in only one play. That error was made in the opening game of the season, when the Nationals de- feated the Athletics here. In the fourth inning Joe fumbled a grounder from Mickey Cochrane’s bat. Since that slip Kuhel has disposed of 401 chances without error. That's great first basing over a fourth of a | season. | Kuhel has had 22 assists, an excep- | tional number for a first baseman in 38 games. He has participated in 36 double-plays, in 3 of which he was on the starting end. He has to his credit one double-p] without assist- ance. Joe is a durable first baseman, too. He has been in all but three innings of the Nationals’ 38 engagements. He was withdrawn from the fight-interrupted fray in which the Yankees gave the Nationals a sound drubbing here last month after toiling through six rounds. Kuhel probably has a finer record afield than other American League ini- tial sack guardian. His play certainly has been highly satisfactory all the way. HAT whack in the head Buddy Myer took when he failed to duck ‘Whitlow Wyalt's pitcn in Detroit three weeks ago has not unpoised him at the plate. Forced out of virtually all the Nationals’ games in the West by the in- Jury, Buddy came back to do his share of swinging in the current stand against the Western clubs in Griffith Stadium. In the 11 games he has been in dur- ing this home series Buddy has stung the ball for an even .300 average. Looks as though that whack did nothing more :’han give him a headache for a few 8ys.

HICAGO, May 27.—Today was the second anniver- sary of the election of William Harridge to the presidency of the American League, and he had ordered a half holiday—so that his office force might attend the opening of the World Fair. His two years as the third president of the younger major league have in- cluded some lively hours. Bill Dickey of the Yankees, and Carl Reynolds then of Washington, had their run-in a year ago, with a resulting $1,000 fine and 30 days' suspension for the New York catcher. The famous “battle of the runway” at Cleveland between Umpire George Moriarty_and several members of the Chicago White Sox, followed with simi- ington battle early this season, and again Harridge used the fine and sus- pension punishment. But he has not become harsh, and his decisions have been accepted al- most without a murmur. Harridge is particularly pleased with the competition in his league and be- | lieves that, with a few weather breaks, | attendance figures will continue to im- prove. St. Louis was the only bad luck spot. he said. right with them. The improvement in the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox will do a lot to make the race in- teresting.” < WHITE SOX HOSTS AT ALL-STAR GAME AL TENURELIVELY lar results.

FULLERTON, JR. Associated Press Sports Writer. T has been observed more than once that the Boston Red Sox have been making themselves exceed- ingly annoying to the loftier teams of the American League. So far Boston has lost 10 games by one-run margins and has won only four that way. If those 10 were shifted to the victory column the Red Sox would be in first place with 22 tri- umphs and 11 defeats and the current pace setters, the New York Yankees, would be second after the necessary deductions, 3!, games behind. The Red Sox threatened again to move out of their cellar berth yester- day as they nosed out the Cleveland Indians, 6 to 5. ‘The Chicago White Sox had a simi- lar experience before they pulled out -; of third and clip New York's lead over ingtcn to & single game.

All around at some of the clubs doing the | yowling. He will find bean balls hop pipg out of their vest pockets, spike Rrowing in their hair, six shooters down their socks, and plenty of rough base ball tactics popping from out of their Contest With Care sleeves. President Harridge wanted more action in the ball games. But the wanted it confined to all of the rules of civilized warfare. When the pitchers began throwing at the but- ton on the hitters’ caps, instead of at the plate, and base runners be- tossing spikes at a defensive ver's chin, the league prexy knew that some one had misplaced the rules of warfare. But the teams whose rough tactics failed to get them into second place began pointing an accusing finger at Uncle Clark’s young men. Had the Nats been down in the second division the yowlers would have passed them by without taking a squint. But being up in the race makes the Nats a good target for the boys who play their game with hand grenac Buddy Myer and Heinie Manush have been marks for the rough riders. Yet when the pair of Griffs battle back for a chance to leave the ball game with their heads on their shoulders, the other young men send letters to’ the prezy demanding jus- tice, and the right to freely spike the Nats without a comeback. But Uncle Griff is not letting the yowlers get away with it without a bel- low or two in retort. When he takes a peak around and sees the mud- splattered howlers he wants to know a few things. He wants to know, for in- stance, where they got all that mud.

L3 | S HARD-RIDDEN PECK ON HIS LAST LEGS Jobs of Harris and Street Also Said to Depend on Improved Showings. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, May 27.—In American League circles here the most insistent talk of the moment is that the Cleveland club will depose Roger Peckinpaugh as manager before the season is much older and install Bib Falk, the veteran outfielder, in his place. The Indians have had such a slump on their Eastern trip, which they are now winding up in Boston, that the owners of the Cleveland club are said to have expressed their disappointment to Peckinpaugh in no uncertain terms. They told “Peck” that they had strengthened the team again this sea- son, but that it was showing the same habit of bogging down as its recent predecessors ILLY EVANS, former American League umpire, who had been se- lected by the Cleveland magnates to act as a base ball mentor, engaged Peckinpaugh_to handle the players in 1928, The Indians under “Peck’ ished seventh in 1928 and jumped to third position in the race of 1929. Since then they have come home fourth three times in succession, much to the disappointment of Forest City fans, who are now burning up over the team's failuze to rush to the front. Peckinpaugh received harsh criticism when he gave an unconditional release !to Joe Sewell at the end of the 1930 | campaign. Sewell, who promptly caught on with the Yankees, was hailed |by Joe McCarthy as the best third | baseman in the American League. AST Summer Peckinpaugh clashed openly with Wesley Ferrell, the In- dians’ famous right-handed pitcher. Ferrell, in an unguarded moment, had pronounced Joe McCarthy ‘“‘the best manager in base ball.” Naturally, that didn't delight Peckinpaugh, even a lit= {tle bit. So a few weeks later Ferrell, |after starting a game in Boston, was | removed by the Cleveland manager, who charged him with indifference, and suse pended him indefinitely. Peckinpaugh explains the collapse of the Indians on the Eastery! trail by pointing out the weak batting of several regulars and the erratic field-’ ing and pitching that have helped to sudden EW YORK, May 27.—An in- jury which kept Sam West i ; N of the St. Louis Browns on | the bench during the past | week kept him the major league batting leader. | any points from his .381 average while a geenral shifting of percentages cost most of his former rivals their places | and brought some new rivals into the | picture. . Johnny Frederick of Brooklyn, Na- all a week ago, dropped 36 points dur- ing the week and yielded first place in his circlit to Pepper Martin of the St. Louis Cardinals, who had a 369 average after yesterday's games. Frederick, in second place, had a .362 mark. Johnny Hodapp of the Boston Red Sox brought his average up from .322 to 374 to take second place in the American League. Al Simmons of the Chicago White Sox ran his hitting string through its sixteenth consecutive game to wind up just a point behind Hodapp. Chuck Klein of the Phillies continued to give the ball a good long ride to hold on to major league home-run hon- jors. His week's work included three homers and four doubles and he fin- | ished leading both leagues in four de- | partments with 51 hits,- 14 doubles, 10 ‘home runs and 40 batted in.
