MADE GOOD MARK IN INTERNATIONAL Big Slabman Won 10, Lost 5 With Rochester—McAfee Goes in Deal. BY JOHN B. KELLER. DWIN VOLNEY CHAPMAN, newest of the Nationals’ pitchers, will not be long in showing his wares in Griffith Stadium. Purchased only yesterday from the Rochester Red Wings, Big Ed is expected to go to the slab against the Red Sox Saturday afternoon—and as a starter, too. “We bought Chapman for use as a starting pitcher primarily,” Clark Griffith declared this morn- ing. “Joe Engle, who scouted him Monday when he beat the Orioles in Baltimore, told me Chapman ought to get along in faster com- pany and we’ll waste no time finding out whether Joe was right In his report.” | According to the Washington club president, Chapman is to be one of the four regular starters Manager Cronin plans to employ for a time, anyway. The newcomer will share with Al Crowder, Earl Whitehill and Walter Stewart the business of beginning games for the Nationals. “Maybe Weaver and Thomas will open in a game occasionally,” Griffith said. “Burke, too, may get a start every once in a while. He has looked good in his three starts this scason. Most of the work for these three will be as re- lief pitchers, though, with Russell still to rate the first man of the relieving stafl.” So the right-handed Chapman jumps from the double-A International League to the big show expected to | make headway immediately. What a | break for the Nationals if he succeeds! They can stand a lot more pitching | than they have had lately. McAfee Heavy Part of Price. | RIFFITH, fcllowing custom, has not revealed the price paid Roch- | ester for Chapman. He admitted | he gave a considerable amount of cash | in addition to turning over to the Red | Wings Bill McAfee, curve-ball specialist | who had been around the Nationals toiling mostly as a relief man since the middle of last season. That being so, Chapman must come high, for McAfee should rate as a pretty good pitcher in the International League, and therefore must be reckoned the equal of & good chunk of coin in the exchange. In the brief time he was with th |in important combats. Back Stage in Sports It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Hurling That Bothers Griff. | BY TOM DOERER. ITCHING is worrying Uncle Clark Griffith more than the heat. He laughs off any sug- gestion that wobbly pitching will cost him 2 flag. But in the next moment he is off on a junket some- where to inspect a young hurler rec- ommended by his ivory man, Joe Engel, or by admitting that he must have an- other starting hurler. He came home last night with young Mr. “Big Ed” Chapman in his vest pocket. He had left Bill McAfee, & relief moundsman, at Baltimore with the Rochester club. But that is not the extent of his pitching acquisitions. No, sir. “In = not let Joe Cronin down at a time like this,” said Uncle, puffing over the heat, and the further heat to come from the Red Sox starting today. “I've al- ways stuck by my managers when I thought they needed help. I never told them to go after a flag without all the help I could give them.” Mr. Griffith means that he is going after, a starting pitcher. . And along ‘he base ball Rialto there is a rumor that he has his fins halfway around a veteran right-hander who is purchaseable. Mr. Griffith had no Van Atta nor a Gomez to stick out the heat in the New York series and he now is convinced that he has got to have a durable win- | ning starter, or else take it on the chin { 0ld Sol did more to Cronin's hurlers | than the enemy batters.

CHAPMAN, NEW QITCHER ,GETS INTO AcTiON SATURDAY SAYs CTRONIN AW, s \ ONLY A SEVENTH PLACE L. | | OF ALL PAST STARS Card Ace Held Likely to Excel Johnson, Matty, Alex Et Al on Hill. BY GRANTLAND RICE. E was a long ago day in base ball when the pitching was a big part of the show., You read and heard more about Christy Mathewson and Three-Finger Brown, Walter John- son and Smoky Joe Wood, Grover Alexander and Wild Bill Donovan than many other members of the cast, with a few such exceptions as Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner. ‘Then Ruth came along—swinging a 52-ounce section of raw ash—and most of the pitchers passed out of the picture. All that counted was the home-run maker. Any pitcher who could last nine innings was a star. Shutouts were « rare. A team needed six or eight runs to be even reasonably safe. But uth, Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Chuck Klein and, the other heavy artil- lerists have begun to bump sagainst keen headline competition. For one ex- ample, Carl Hubbell, the Giant star, has been one of the headline features all Summer. And now Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals steps in with 17 strikeouts against the Cubs, one of the great pltching pere formances of many years—one of the greatest of all time. Dean still is just a kid. This is only his second season under the big top. He and Hubbell have the chance to be rated among the pitching elect—up with the Mathewsons, the Johnsons and the Alexanders. This Cardinal star has everything & great pitcher- needs—more smoke than a burning oil well—a fine curve ball— good control—a cool head—and plenty of heart. Record High Spots. \HERE are several interesting fea= I tures connected with the old pitching mark that Dean cracked on Sunday. Noodles Hahn was the first of the so- called moderns to set the target at 16 strikeouts. Hahn came along 30 years ago from the old Sulphur Dell play- gnunds of Nashville to work for the eds. That was back in the days of Eagle Eye Jake Beckley, Bid McPhee and Tommy Corcoran. The same playground sent Lefty Davis to Pittsburgh and turned out several other leading stars. Rube Waddell's 16 strikeouts carry the best human story. The Rube had been released Connie Mack and turned over to the Browns. This act cut heavily into the Rube’s pride. He recalled the days when he had called in his outfield with the bases full and none out, to strike out the side. He had been the big shot. Now he was released to the Browns. ‘When the Athletics invaded St. Louis a little later Waddell insisted that he be given a change to show Mack and his old mates that he still had some- thing left in the old soup bone. He was finally given the chance. All {he did was to strike cut 16 Athletics | and keep them standing on cne ear all afternoon with blazing speed and a | fast curve they couldn't hit with two | planks; base ball concern. Which is why the We-Want- Harris Society of Yodelers oniy Jrequently have their wish fa- vored. When the club is winning the regulars are rarely moved. And when it begins to topple the Harrises, Boltons and the Rices get their innings. ‘Those two homers the other day brought in many new members to the | Harris Yodeling ‘Soclety. And _their daily rasping may cause Kid Crenin to shl:alt the heavy hitter in more reg- ly. RIFF'S new deal proves just how club last season McAfee won six games and lost one. If Chapman does that well during the remainder of the cur- rent campaign Grifith should be well satisfied with his purchase. McAfee has a record of three wins against two losses this season. He started but one game.

He broke in with Houston, a St. Louis farm in the Texas League, back in "27 and was shunted to the Western Assotiation and Central League before getting a brief trial with Rochester several seasons ago. Finally in 31, he moved up to the Columbus club of the American Association. But that outfit sent him down to Greens- boro, N. C. to wind up the campaign in the Piedmont League. That was Ed’s program last year, too. After moving from Columbus to Greens- | boro the second time he flashed a lot | of class, however. And when Greens- | boro, after winning the second hal season laurels in the Piedmont circuit, battled Charlotte for the championship, big Ed proved an “iron man” on the pitching peak. The two Piedmont outfits battled through seven games for the title and Chapman started and hurled to victory | in four games in six days to get it for Greensboro. .

And with the Red Wings he was close to being the strikeout king of the double-A loop. Helping Greenshoro to victory in the Piedmont last season, Chapman pitched 159 strikeouts. He averaged better than 7.2 strikeouts per game for he was in only 22 games. That high, hard one he throws must have zipped by the batters often.
